“Don’t you ever let me hear this again, or I’ll lose my temper.”

That was Lucky Luciano’s (lead image, left) ultimatum to Vito Genovese (right) in 1946 when Luciano was in Havana, Cuba, organizing his business comeback in the US, as Genovese tried persuading him to delegate the operations to himself. “Right now, you work for me, and I ain’t in the mood to retire,” Luciano added. Everyone, including Genovese, knew what Luciano’s temper meant if he lost it.

When President Donald Trump wants everyone to know what he means, he issues a tweet threatening to lose his temper. “He can come back when he is ready for peace”, he told Vladimir Zelensky on listen.

COMPENDIUM OF US GOVERNMENT BY PRESS RELEASE AND TWEET

There are 480 words in this press release prepared jointly for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, following the March 19 telephone call between President Trump and Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev. It would take about 3 minutes to read out. Mentions of the name Trump or his leadership occur 15 times. That is a frequency of one mention every 32 words, or once every 12 seconds.

Waltz has abandoned the practice of having a National Security Council spokesman give open briefings at the White House Press Room, allowing unscripted, free questioning from reporters. Instead, Waltz gives 90-second “interviews” with Fox News; and issues tweets; these are mostly retweets of other officials in the Administration, including the President and Daniel Scavino, the chief of staff; or Secretary of State Rubio.

Rubio has also abandoned the traditional daily press briefing at the State Department. This is now an irregular event. Since January, there have been only four briefings by the press spokesman in which reporters have been allowed to ask impromptu questions. The spokesman is Tammy Bruce, a former Fox News presenter.

Instead, Rubio, like Waltz, issues tweets reproducing what other officials are tweeting, including this one from March 18, following the telephone call with Putin: “Once again, @POTUS is leading the way towards peace.”

Asked at the March 19 briefing for the purpose of Trump’s new proposal to take over ownership of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, Bruce replied: “Well, again, that comes from President Trump, who is one of the best businessmen we think has ever been around, and he knows how to make deals, and there is a serious consideration, in fact, that if you have an American-owned entity via a company, perhaps – not certainly the government necessarily – that that creates – I think the presumption is, is that it creates a deterrent to strike; that you have also an economic partnership that increases the economic viability of a nation, the general certainly infrastructure stability of a nation when you have people running your infrastructure or in a particular part of the infrastructure who know what they’re doing, and that maintains not just the economic framework but also a security framework because of the nature and the need for energy.It also is – I think it is – and I don’t want to presume what President Trump was considering, but just as a regular person, you’d realize that it is probably somewhat beneficial to have an economic relationship with a nation that has a history of being able to protect itself and protect its friends and makes it a little bit more difficult to attack you because of what the results might be.”

Bruce and Trump appear to believe that Westinghouse Electric, which is supplying nuclear fuel to Ukraine’s nuclear power plants and rebuilding the Khmelnitsky reactors in western Ukraine, is American. In fact, since November 2023 Westinghouse has been owned by Cameco and Brookfield, both Toronto-based Canadian companies.

Tulsi Gabbard, the senior intelligence officer in the government, believes she should tweet regularly. In the past week, she has issued six tweets. In these she thanked Trump and Elon Musk, and retweeted Trump three times. This is political advertising. It has nothing to do with intelligence. On her Asian trip early in the month, Gabbard tweeted: “I’ll be going to Japan, Thailand, and India, with a brief stop in France enroute back to DC. Building strong relationships, understanding, and open lines of communication are vital to achieving President Trump’s objectives of peace, freedom and prosperity.”

  1. Really who cares what Trump says, anyone involved in the enabling of genocide isn’t worth anything but jail.

    The people in the West should take heed at what just happened at London’s Heathrow airport, look how a litte old fire at a critical piece of infrastructure disrupted the world aviation industry.

    If I was a Palistinian about to be physically removed from my land by criminals then I would be out with a map and looking how I will get myself into Europe or the U.S.

    Imagine what the destruction of a critical dam or electric grid would do to a population that is highly dependent on it?

    You reap what you sow. Life in the West is about to get a hell of a lot more expensive if security is now to be provided for protection of all critical infrastructure.

    When is Trumpstein going to lose his temper with the Jewish overlords who tell him what to say and do? Trump, like 99% of humanity picks and chooses who he loses his temper with. Without goons and guns, Luciano and Genovese would be as meek as a church mouse. Without blackmail and without greed, World Kikery would be as feckless as those 2 old greasy meatballs pictured above left alone to fend for themselves.

    Mr. Bone Spurs “didn’t see red” when it was time to fight in Vietnam, he did what all rich and “powerful men” do, he tucked tail.

  3. It is amazing to me how boomers will rant about kids spending all their time on social media, but they don’t think twice about supporting the MAGAt regime that runs the country through Twitter.

    If you receive government assistance, you should not be allowed to vote. That includes social security and medicare.

  4. Yes, advertising. Social media allowed Trump to sidestep biased MSM to communicate with potential voters. He is a civilian, and he uses marketing, he is a brand rather than a politician. It’s the same with MAGA, it’s a marketing gimmick. The Democrats failed to understand this when they allowed him to pose for his mugshot. The mugshot worked great on t-shirts and as a meme. A picture paints a thousand words they say.

    The Trump Whitehouse(I like Trumphouse) seems to use the same formula. In the case of South Africa for instance, withdrawal of charity and threats of economic punishment were preceded by tweets, Trump engaged an audience in bold language to announce policy changes that probably had little to do with Trump’s feelings and more to do with BRICS, Israel and diplomatic faux pass by the ANC government.

    They appeal to people on a more visceral level than standard political populism, and they take advantage of existing distrust in legacy media.

  5. You don’t understand that Donald Trump’s social media posts are a very CIVIL tiny portion of what a huge portion of Americans think/want.

    Keep fucking around and find out.

    If you are a government contractor or employee you should not get to vote.

  7. I’ve seen Mike Waltz on TV, and he is a man of few words. There usually the same words “Israel must be protected from Iran at all costs.”

  8. I have toyed with the idea of not allowing the military to vote, as they are under the thumb of the executive literally. But it was just one of those random speculations on doddles with — not a serious contention.

    The problem for the advisors is that they are a weak bunch. Made weak by their choiices and made weak by the fear of losing face by getting fired. So that Sen Rubio has some completely lost himself — is painful to watch.

    And thet country is now on a full bore proIsraeli bent is hardly a shock, we have been priming that pump for more than 70 years. They are too weak to Russia no. They are too weak to tell Isarel no. If I were Taiwan, I would be on guard.

    We are constantly hearing about what Ukrainians are doing to Russia. But what about what the Russians are doing to Ukraine? I doubt they are providing the Ukrainians with milk and honey. Unfortunately, Russia has cunningly implemented Israel’s scorched-earth policy in Ukraine. A little bit of objectivity, please.

    We are constantly hearing just the opposite, but it is all lying propaganda.

    Russia has generally fought the war ‘by the rules’. Ukraine has not. Why? Looking at both Israel and Ukraine, you see the same rulers. That is the answer.

  11. It must be deafening inside this administration’s echo chamber.

  12. @SteveK9

    Yup, compare the figures for civilian casualties in Ukraine with that of Palestine and Lebanon. Even compare it to civilian casualties during the US-Iraq wars, Russians are pretty careful about shooting at civilians, although there probably is collateral damage as in any war .

    So, after working hard all of your life, paying into the system, the gov’t takes away your right to vote because you’re now on SS & Medicare. You’re NUTS.

    Russia has been fighting a slow grinding campaign in the SMO. There seem to be several possible reasons for this.

    The main reason is this approach kills AFU soldiers, Neonazis, mercenaries and spies while sparing Ukrainian civilians. As the battles move through cities the buildings are inevitably destroyed but most of the civilians have left or been evacuated by the time this happens.

    This slow approach gives Russia time to build up her conventional military capabilities which were very weak. This process has many aspects.

    The intentionally slow process also gives time for political winds to change in Ukraine and allow eventual capitulation by Kiev.

    The gamble was the Russian economy would hold up under sanctions pressure.

    You can always identify the boomerscum when they defend their handouts because they “paid into” them, pretending they don’t know they get far more out than they ever put in.

    Only boomers ever expected to get their social security money back. They’re the same dipshits that supported it and opened the door to all the other socialist programs that keep blacks pumping out babies. Every generation since has identified it correctly as what it is: just another tax pissed into the void that is the US federal government.

    If you didn’t want to be categorized as a welfare leech, you shouldn’t have supported that system all these years.

    I agree with you, I don’t think they ever mattered. China is transparent about this scheme, but America invented it: you can vote for whoever you want, as long as it is one of these candidates (((we))) support.

    However, I like to pretend sometimes that the lies Jews tell us are true, especially if I can annoy the MIGA boomers.

    When did I say that I supported this rotten system? I’ve been opposed to what gov’t is up to all my freakin’ life. But like everyone, except for those who work under-the-table for cash, I had no choice in the matter. Paying FICA taxes is mandatory, whether we like it or not. You’d be a fool not to accept it when your time comes, whether by age or disability.

    And, in case you didn’t know it, those who receive SS continue to pay tax federal tax on it in retirement when their income exceeds the poverty threshold. We remain taxpayers, not welfare leeches.

    And IF you live long enough, it’s true that you’ll receive far more than you’ve paid in. If you die too young, tough luck buddy, thanks for the contributions. Younger people have a right to be furious about this Ponzi Scheme, which is illegal unless the gov’t does it. But, besides bitching, what is to be done?

    “Lose his temper.” It is a load of rubbish. The Jews tell Trump what to do and how to act in certain moments which makes him look presidential and in control.

  20. ghali says:
    @James of Africa

    A load of false Russian propaganda. It is the same cliché used by Netanyahu. The only difference is that Russia is fighting a formidable armed adversary. In truth, Russia has been killing Ukrainian civilians wholesale and trying hard to coverup its crimes using false propaganda.
