Smithsonian Institution secretary to retire amid Trump attacks on musuem independence https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/08/smithsonian-secretary-lonnie-bunch-retires #WashingtonDc #UsNews #Museums #TrumpAdministration #Culture

"Trump spent Sunday posting pictures of himself nuking the planet from a space station, guarded by giant robots, over a caption announcing that the United States now owns the moon. He did this for thirteen hours.

Between 9:10 in the morning and 10:35 at night, Donald Trump fired off more than sixty posts. Memes, rants, endorsements, personal attacks, and a steady stream of AI-generated pictures of himself. He announced he wants to rename New Mexico.

Stating that it is "one of the great vote cheating states of all time," a casual proposition by the President of the U.S.A. to rename a state that has existed since 1912 and call it "New America" was accompanied by a video of him dancing to Y.M.C.A.

He posted himself as Hulk Hogan. He posted himself in a Space Force uniform that critics pointed out looks like the outfit the villains wear in Star Wars. He posted himself palling around with George Washington, drawn by the same software that cannot reliably render a hand.

He bragged about making billions trading stocks, while under scrutiny for exactly that, and added that the billions were "for the U.S.A., not myself," which is what a man says when both halves of the sentence are for him.

Somewhere in the thirteen hours he found the time and audacity to mock congresswoman Debbie Dingell for weeping over her dead husband, calling her a “third rate loser.”

None of this is a distraction, in fact it seems that this is his job now.

The country is paying a full presidential salary, and a great deal more than that, for a man to be unhinged on his own social media app.

The codes are still in the room with him."

As I didn't post every day last week, I figured I'd post an extra image or two over the next couple of days. Here's a new image:

Protests, including permanent protest camps, are everywhere every day in #WashingtonDC. Sounds like for spooky season all they needed to do was run with the actual headlines!

Ace comment: "More activities than the Great American State Fair."

ICYMI, five days ago a storm knocked over all the fencing around the Reflecting Pool. They just now dragged the fences out of the stank ass water.

Usually in #WashingtonDC neighborhoods you see the walking nutsacks (National Guard) milling back and forth aimlessly -- last night they were posted up at the SE corner of 19th and Benning NE, a corner with literally nothing at it (the fenceline is the edge of an empty elementary school's teacher parking lot), and more of them were also a couple blocks down with the turd-eating bitch boys (DEA and FBI) going through some poor driver's trunk at 17th St.

I suspect these snitch freak losers have now coordinated with MPD to set up along the borders of the deeply unconstitutional Brooke Pinto "drug free zones", so watch your ass even more out here I guess
