But there was one bit of levity from the White House in the last couple of days, with Mushroom Cock posting an AI picture of himself as Jesus:

This was… interestingly timed, given Krasnov’s recent dispute with the Pope; he posts this bullshit all the time cos someone insists on making it, and usually people just roll their eyes and sigh wearily at the old cunt, but this time even the cult are saying “WTF, dude?”. Among them:

Riley Gaines used to be a professional swimmer before changing careers and becoming a professional transphobe instead; and while she’s not wrong about Trump benefitting from a little humility, she’s also a champion fool for thinking he’d ever give into it. He’s not capable of humility and I don’t believe he even understands the concept. And in any case he’s not interested in her opinions:

That’s YOU told, woman! But the best part of the whole story is there: “He said he believed the photo depicted him as a doctor, not Jesus” and only the Fake News could possibly construe him as looking like that Christ character.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never met any doctor who healed people just with the light glowing from his hands. I don’t know what’s worse, the idea that he might actually believe that, the idea that he thinks the rest of us would be believe that, or the idea that at least some of the cult WILL believe that. And why does the guy he’s “healing” look so familiar…

…Ah, THAT’S why. I’ve seen quite a few people comment on the similarity, one wit reckoned that whatever AI created the Jesus Trump image had just consumed so many photos of the two together that it just had to stick Epstein in there. Anyway, Trump’s deleted the silly thing now cos he doesn’t like “confusing” people, which must be the first time he’s ever worried about being confusing… good thing nothing ever fully disappears from the Internet, eh…

Every time Mushroom Cock and/or his mafia do Something Bad, I always see someone on social media screaming “THEY CAN’T DO THAT!” as if that actually mattered to him, I don’t think the legality or otherwise of anything he’s ever done has ever been a consideration… less often you get someone else responding “NO THEY CAN’T AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM WILL STOP THEM, STOP SHOUTING!”… and, well, they found a way around that:

Two immigration judges who ruled against the Trump administration in the deportation cases of pro-Palestinian university students have been fired by the Department of Justice.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that the justice department had terminated six judges, including Roopal Patel and Nina Froes, who oversaw deportation proceedings against Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two students who were arrested last year as part of Trump’s campaign against the Gaza protest movement.
In an interview with the Guardian, Patel said she did not view her dismissal as “directly retaliatory” for any one case. She said it fit within a broader pattern of the administration dismissing judges near the end of their probationary term, particularly those who have experience representing immigrants in court.
“I think there’s a broader agenda of trying to reshape the immigration bench to be more reflective of the political agenda of the administration,” Patel said.
The Biden administration appointed both Patel and Froes to the bench in May 2024, and both had previously worked in immigration defense. A recent NPR analysis found that the Trump administration appears to be targeting immigration judges who previously represented immigrants.

Only surprising that it took so long. I don’t suppose these will be the last.

So one (hopefully) good thing has happened in world politics:

Viktor Orban finally got tossed, comprehensively so, in Hungary; despite having engaged in massive corruption to make sure that pretty much everything favoured him and his party, people power overcame (apparently it was the biggest voter turnout since the fall of communism there). This is an undeniably good thing, cos Orban was running the furthest-right government in Europe at least, which frankly gave comfort to a lot of right-wing political mobs across the world… indeed, a prominent member of one of those mobs, J. Divans, who made a special appearance in Hungary a few days before the election; Orban was already looking like a loser at that point but no, brother Bowman had to go there and make him look like even more of one, accusing the EU of election interference in Hungary as if he weren’t engaging in exactly that himself…

So, Orban’s removal from power (and his acknowledgement of having lost, which seems… suspicious? Did Vance teach him nothing about screaming about how the election was stolen from him?) is obviously a good thing… the only question is whether or not his successor, Peter Magyar, is also a good thing. (And is it not also a bit on the nose that the Hungarian PM is called “Magyar”? Like a British PM with the surname “English” or something…) Cos Magyar is a former Orban ally; he joined Fidesz when it was in opposition during the oughts before Orban became PM again, and only left two years ago when some scandal involving presidential pardons finally made him realise just how corrupt Orban was… somehow the preceding decade hadn’t made him realise that fact. And I find it hard to be overly enthusiatic about someone who calls himself a “conservative liberal”. So I’m not holding my breath for too much progress there; still, I don’t suppose he can be any worse than Orban was, and I suspect he’ll piss off a lot of the Right people…

…There was also this.

Besieged by questions about his war on Iran and his wife’s statement on Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump tried to shift the national conversation back to his immigration crackdown by posting a graphic, distressing video of a woman in Florida being killed last week by a man he described as an illegal immigrant from Haiti.
The video, taken by a surveillance camera outside a Fort Myers gas station, showed a man identified by authorities as a Haitian immigrant using a hammer to bludgeon to death the woman, who was reportedly a clerk at the gas station. […]
The video that Trump posted on Thursday was originally surfaced by the Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin on Tuesday, the same day Trump was threatening to commit a war crime by bombing Iran’s civilian infrastructure. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement that the suspected attacker in custody was “released” in 2022 by the Biden administration and given temporary protected status, although it is unclear whether that information is accurate. […]
The distressing video of the murder was first posted on social media earlier on Thursday by DHS, which slightly blurred the violent attack. The department has consistently used social media images to inflame anti-immigrant sentiment amid a sweeping crackdown that has also targeted legal immigrants, with a stated goal of deporting more than a quarter of the current US population.
The Fort Myers News-Press reported last week the suspected killer, who is homeless, had attempted to withdraw cash from an ATM in the gas station and, after being unable to do so, demanded that the clerk give him cash. The following day he fatally attacked the clerk, who was an immigrant from Bangladesh, with a hammer, the outlet reported.
When Trump shared the brutal video, with a long caption railing against what the president wrongly called “temporary protective status”, the video of the woman’s last moments was not blurred.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, commented that DHS and then Trump shared the video “for exactly as vile a reason as you can imagine; basically Breitbart’s old ‘black crime’ vertical as official government policy. There hasn’t been an administration this openly racist since Wilson invited the KKK to the White House.”

To be honest I’m surprised the victim didn’t get blamed as well for having been an immigrant.

Oh, there’s so many people who should be dead right now instead of her.

Honestly, I don’t want to write about these fucking people, but…

…What?

Indeed, “…what?” seems to be the general reaction to whatever the fuck it was Melania chose to do today, which was to make an apparently unscheduled presser to announce she had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein; it appears no one (including her husband, who you may recall used to be Epstein’s best friend) knew she was going to do it, and equally no one seems to understand why she did…

…but I don’t think she’s just done this randomly, and the speculation I’m seeing on BS that she might be getting ready to throw Mushroom Cock under the bus may have something to do it. There’s just one thing…

The relationship between the first lady and Epstein has already led to legal battles.
In October 2025, for example, HarperCollins UK said it would retract passages from a book that included “unverified” claims that Donald Trump and his wife met through Epstein. Similarly, the Daily Beast retracted and apologised for an article the publication later said “did not meet our standards.”
The first lady also has been embroiled in an ongoing legal dispute with author Michael Wolff over a claim in his book Fire and Fury that she was first introduced to her husband through a modelling agent tied to Epstein.

Now, I’ve seen the story that Epstein introduced her to Trump but had no thoughts about its veracity or not. Whoever originally posted the third screenshot above is evidently down with it, though, and further adds a photo with the two of them. The latter means, well, nothing much, I know, cos there are photos of me in existence with people I barely know if at all, but it does indicate they were in each other’s presence at some point; and her husband’s apparent insistence that she didn’t know Epstein looks like bullshit on the face of it, cos I can’t believe that Epstein and Trump were such good friends and Melania knew nothing about him. And it was apparently Epstein himself who claimed the two of them first had sex on the “Lolita Express”.

And, if Wikipedia is accurate, the claim in the Wolff book is actually perfectly true; Melania was evidently introduced to Trump by her then agent, Paolo Zampolli, who DID have Epstein connections; indeed, his wife had initially come to the US on the aforementioned Epstein plane. And when she divorced him, he turned to ICE to get her deported. No wonder him and Trump seem to get on so well (his Trump connections seem to have worked better for him).

Anyway… remember when the Melania puff piece was being publicised and there was talk of a follow-up limited TV/streaming series? What if this nonsense today was for that? To be honest I don’t know if this putative series is still going to happen, and I wish she could’ve done this in the first film cos it would’ve actually been something interesting… but still, depending on what comes of this, we might at least get something worthwhile from the follow-up…

Now that the Middle East issue has been resolved and nothing bad will ever happen there again, we’re now learning about the REAL problem the US faces: the Pope.

On Monday, The Free Press reported that in the wake of the Pope’s annual address to the Vatican’s diplomatic corps in January, in which he criticized states seeking conflict around the globe, the Department of Defense invited Cardinal Christophe Pierre for a meeting. At the time, Pierre was serving as Pope Leo’s personal envoy to the United States.
The Pentagon requesting a meeting with a Vatican official is “unprecedented,” according to the report.
According to Vatican and U.S. officials who were briefed on the meeting and spoke to the publication, the Pentagon criticized the Pope’s statements in January, interpreting them as hostile attacks on Trump’s policies. […]
In the wake of the meeting, the Pope reportedly refused Trump’s invitation to attend the nation’s 250th anniversary events.
Instead of spending July 4th in the U.S., the Pope will instead visit Lampedusa, a small Mediterranean island that has become an entry point for African migrants attempting to reach Europe.
A Vatican official speaking to The Free Press said the Pope has no plans to visit the U.S. while Trump is in office.
“The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration,” the official reportedly said.

The most fascinating detail I’ve read about Mushroom Cock’s latest international diplomatic headache is that that one of the goons snapping at the Pope in this meeting apparently invoked the Avignon papacy, or the period when Philip IV of France was feuding with the Roman mob, culminating in him kind of imposing a French Pope on them who relocated the papacy to Avignon, before a later one took it back to Rome and the Avignon mob elected their own Pope. I presume the implied threat was that if Leo didn’t stop being a bitch to Trump, the latter would designate his own (probably supplied by FIFA), which would be ironic on a number of levels, but personally I’m actually impressed that someone in this regime has even heard of the Avignon papacy, let alone what it was. I generally don’t expect much historical awareness (especially about 14th century France) from American governments, but I expect it even less than usual from the current one, so I do have to acknowledge it this time, however grudgingly…

TL;DR: the cunt basically caved in. Per the Graun:

According to state media, Iran will only accept the war’s conclusion once details are finalised in line with a 10-point peace plan reportedly submitted to the White House via Pakistani intermediaries.
The list of 10 points, published by Iranianstate media, include a number of conditions the US has rejected in the past. The plan requires:

* The lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions on Iran.
* Continued Iranian control over the strait of Hormuz.
* US military withdrawal from the Middle East.
* An end to attacks on Iran and its allies.
* The release of frozen Iranian assets.
* A UN security council resolution making any deal binding.

In the version released in Farsi, Iran also included the phrase “acceptance of enrichment” for its nuclear program. But for reasons that remain unclear, that phrase was missing in English versions shared by Iranian diplomats to journalists.

All of this still has to be negotiated and agreed to, of course, but the mere fact that President Robert E. Lee called this “workable” suggests he’s generally cool with it. I think the main sticking point will be Israel, who expanded the conflict into Lebanon just for the hell of it; Bibi apparently said he welcomes the ceasefire but insists upon leaving Lebanon out of it. I have a feeling Israel will treat this alleged ceasefire like they did the one in Gaza, i.e. the people there can go to hell and Israel can do whatever the fuck it wants.

Anyway, that might be Armageddon staved off for another couple of weeks. Possibly. If Netanyahu can keep his hand off it for long enough. I don’t have any more words for this whole debacle.

Oh.

Yeah, this is authentic Mushroom Cock on Truth Social yesterday, that’s my own screenshot of it. I haven’t had anything useful to say about the Iran bullshit, which has become even more bullshit by Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and complicating the world’s oil supply, etc. And Trump has been making this particular threat for a while but never actually carrying it out, so who knows if he’ll do it this time either… I think it’s the, ah, particular phraseology employed in this post that’s attracting people’s attention now. I’m so drained by the entire thing I can barely even get that bothered by this, though. I feel like I should at least mention it here, but I don’t really have anything much to say about it. Anyway, there it is. Iran’s not exactly losing the war while Cuntface is pretty much losing the plot, and I don’t how to make that state of affairs less shit…

…and I have even less idea how to answer those questions, which are very good ones whose answers are almost certainly very bad. Remember that brief period when Biden was running the show and we didn’t need to be afraid when we got up each day of what Krasnov might do or say that day? No, me neither. But daily business persists regardless of him, doesn’t it, and so on we all go anyway…
