AFTER

 After court ruling, Vance and Trump approach a profoundly dangerous line.

After the vice president questioned the need to honor a court ruling, experts expressed concern about a "breakdown" of the constitutional system. (msnbc.com)

 

AFTER, never before, never during, never practice, always re-active, AFTER!

 

I am so tired of AFTER regarding TRUMP.

 

The one thing he is excellent at is PROJECTING his intentions, his actions, his motives, and his insecurities BEFORE. We all know what could, might, and may happen, and YET it seems that way too many people pretend that even as we are warned by Trump, told by Trump, reminded by Trump of his ill intentions and malicious machinations, all we collectively do is react AFTER.

 

And now the more dangerous SOB, his Personal Assistant JD, what the fuck, is learning the Con and happily mixing the ingredients for a new round of snake oil. Add that toxic waste onto the shameful and Fascist leaning Supreme Court, who, by the Republican majority, who has made it clear that a President Trump is above the law, and in fact is THE LAW…holy shit! 

 

The next line will be WHAT CONSTITUTION! 

 

what's in it for me

 What’s in it for me, and what IS in it for me usurps any and all unnecessary needs for what is best for the nation. I am the only one, the beginning the end, the alpha the zeta. So, fuck off with your so-called Patriotic ramblings and rhetoric because none of that is a priority for me.

As Donald Trump reverses his position on potentially banning TikTok ahead of an expected House vote this week on legislation that could lead to it being blocked in the U.S., the former president has been rebuilding his relationship with a GOP megadonor who reportedly has a significant financial stake in the popular social media platform. (abc news)

 

Greed gluttony graft and grifting are good for the soul. Look over there, look away, pretend that morals and values, justice and equality, are fine qualities, but none of them help make a profit. The more money I have, the more value I perceive of myself. And oh, by the way, my babe, my one and only Ivanka, may need more copyrights from China.

 

China is bad for you, but ohh, so go ahead for me.

 

when you become the other

 BUT I AM MAGA, AND I VOTED FOR TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE I AM NOT “THE OTHER!”

BUT I AM A MAGA CHRISTIAN, AND MY ALLIGIENCE TO TRUMP IS BASED ON WHAT JESUS HAS PREACHED TO ME. I AM NOT THE “OTHER KIND OF CHRISTIAN!”

 

Trump Enrages Christian MAGA By Naming ‘Heretic’ Pastor to White House Trump’s preacher of choice goes too far for some evangelicals. President Donald Trump angered some of his Christian supporters on Friday when he named a televangelist who even some conservative evangelicals have labeled a “heretic” as part of his White House administration. (The Daily Beast)

 

BUT WE ARE COOLER ARAB AMERICANS THAN THOSE LIVING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, SO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISS THE “OTHER,” ARABS.

 

In the wake of Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election, residents of Dearborn, Michigan, are voicing their regret and frustration, with many expressing feelings of being misled. Dearborn is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arab Americans in the nation, with nearly half of its 110,000 residents being of Arab descent. The city has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold, but this year that all changed. NEWSWEEK)

 

WHEN YOU BECOME THE OTHER!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wait, wait, I know

 WAIT, I KNOW, I KNOW… 

Trump’s cut to Biomedical Research because it’s too woke and really because he can save dollars to keep the tax rate of his Billionaire donors LOW, now permit RFK to initiate the injection of BRAIN WORMS as a cure for Brain Cancer.

 

MAGA minions and mostly idiots won’t mind this cut because either they lack brains or think that because they voted for Trump, they are immune from any life-threatening diseases. Many to most claim that Trump is their new Messiah, so HE will protect them.

 

Trump’s faux attempt to hold Canada and Mexico responsible for drug use within the US, of course, was more show and tell than substance. All Trump really had to do was ask RFK where he and his wealthy elite friends purchased their caches of HEROINE! 

 

WHAM BAM, THANK YOU, MA’AM!                              

cutting health

 NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately

The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. (Washington Post)

 

Let us dissect this using, well, common sense, something of course not used by Trump and his Gestapo!   

                                                                                                                                            

Here are the real reasons for these cuts.:

Universities are woke. Universities and the NIH hire physicians, scientists, and researchers with high IQs, and many of them are non-white males, people of color, LGB, and maybe T! All of them are not members of the Heritage Foundation or the Crusades!

 

Cutting back on programs like this makes for a more rational answer as to why we can balance the budget and KEEP the tax rate for billionaires like MUSK/Bezos/Zuckerberg, which is unjustifiably low!

 

One must imagine that the kickbacks towards Trump were not high enough as compared to the OIL CARTEL and BIG PHARMA, so fuck them!

 

 

SCARED YET?

 If you are of sound mind, have a conscience, a heartbeat, enjoy compassion, feel good about empathy, actually respect the Vets of all of our Wars, do believe that Democracy is not something once gone that can easily return….ARE YOU FUCKING SCARED YET….

 

Flights carrying undocumented immigrants to Guantánamo have begun, White House says (Miami Herald)

Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, moved a step closer to confirmation Tuesday, as the Republican-led Intelligence Committee advanced her nomination.

 Pam Bondi Instructs Trump DOJ to Criminally Investigate Companies That Do DEI. (SLATE)

Alas alack, the Gal Pal of Trump the Lady who still has not stated that the 2020 election was legit, the one and only ex-Attorney General for the DeSantis Banana Republic of Florida, is now officially the head of Trumps Gestapo the DOJ!

 

Remember when the Heritage Foundation owned and operated the Supreme Court, which declared corporations as people, thus providing them the freedom to purchase, own, and operate politicians via dark money? However, now, somehow, corporations are not permitted to practice their own standards of hiring and firing!

 

Pammy ain’t gonna take shit from anyone or anything that DON’T acquiesce to Trumps law, not the Constitution but TRUMPS LAW. Good luck America!

 

Scott Bessent is now the Secretary of Treasury. Bessent is the first openly gay treasury secretary and the highest-ranking openly LGBT person in U.S. history, being fifth in the presidential line of succession. Scott Bessent’s husband John Freeman and they have two children. 

 

Scott is a billionaire, and did not serve in the military, other than that Republicans he could be Pete Buttigieg if Pete Buttigieg were a self-loathing homo-homophobe! Remember the outrage from the MAGA when the homosexual Pete Buttigieg was Secretary of transportation: Margie-Putin-Greene and her minion of MAGA rodents beside themselves. But if TRUMP makes it cool than Gay is cool!

ATLANTIC CITY again

 Susie Wiles, DJT's Chief of staff, listening to his insane plans to forcibly remove 2-million Palestinian Christians and Muslims so America can "own" Gaza (by sending in American soldiers) and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East."

 

Jerry Maguire: Show you the money.

Rod Tidwell: Oh, no, no. You can do better than that, Jerry! I want you to say it with you, with meaning, brother! Hey, I got Bob Sugar on the other line; I bet you he can say it!

Jerry Maguire: Yeah, yeah, no, no, no. Show you the money.

Rod Tidwell: No! Not show you! Show me the money!

Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!

Rod Tidwell: Yeah! Louder!

Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!

Rod Tidwell: Yes, but, brother, you got to yell that shit!

Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!                                                                       

Rod Tidwell: I need to feel you, Jerry!

Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!

Rod Tidwell: Jerry, you better yell!

Jerry Maguire: (screaming) Show me the money! Show me the money!

 

Remember Atlantic City and the Trump Casino. Invade a city a country a land mass with one intention only, make ME, MYSELF and no one else RICH, so RICH I could give ZERO FUCKS.

 

"Riviera of the Middle East." Says TRUMP, kind of similar to his JEWISH son-in-law (Yeah OATH KEEPERS and PROUD BOYS, JEWISH) when Jared said we can make the West Bank into a tourist delight. 

 

Atlantic City went well for Trump, and now he wants the same kind of luxury resort for GAZA minus anyone already living there. THE CON, THE SNAKE OIL, THE GRIFTING, THE PATHETICNESS OF IT ALL.  

 

trickle down for real

 More than 2 million federal employees face a looming deadline: By midnight Eastern time on Thursday, they must decide whether to accept a "deferred resignation" offer from the Trump administration. If workers accept, according to a White House plan, they would continue getting paid through September but would be excused from reporting for duty. But if they opt to keep their jobs, they could get fired. (CBS News)

 

The Fuhrer and his Owner both gleefully pretend that the government workforce is the valid reason for the American deficiency. They use the word BEAUROCRATS, knowing full well that the MAGA base has no idea of the true meaning of the word BEAUROCRTAT, thinking instead that it must mean Communist or Socialist. And of course or should it be BUT of course, these same ignorant as shit MAGA presume that firing those Communist Socialist BEAUROCRATS, will have no impact on their lives; and magically make their lives better!

 

Counting on the low IQ’s of the MAGA and the very HIGH bigotry, bogus bull shit and stupidity of the MAGA, Trump and President Musk will gladly play with the lives of millions of Americans as if they were like slaves during the Confederacy or Jews during the NAZI regime. 

 

Unemployment will rise, lives will be ruined and all of that will not be restricted to the fired Federal Workers, because unlike Regans “Trickle Down Economy” theory, which only trickled up, this time it will be the MAGA on food stamps, the MAGA on welfare, the MAGA on social security, the MAGA in flood-prone areas, or tornadoes prone areas who will reap the benefits of billionaires playing GOD!                                   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOORMATS

  

The Doormat Congress: Republicans react to Trump’s overreach with shrugs. (GOP lawmakers are now bending the knee — to Elon Musk.

Elon Musk’s actions could be violating the Constitution. Many Republican lawmakers are shrugging. Steve Benen/MSNBC)

 

How fucking frustrating, how horrendously horrifying, how SO REPUBLICAN, and the people who vote for them. Ever since my parents worked for Adlai Stevenson ‘s second run to become President way back in 1956, I somehow had become a political junkie.

 

My parents would discuss how democracy was as valuable as the air we breathed and how democracy could only survive from its roots, which in political terms was called “THE GRASS ROOTS”, as in the people and their pursuit of truth and justice. Somehow, I had this sense that maybe I COULD MAKE CHANGE, as in me being just an ordinary citizen. 

 

I still feel an obligation to save democracy to keep freedom alive, to aid the underdog, to right the wrongs, to do the right thing and to fucking ACT UP, BE LOUD, and swear, NEVER AGAIN.

 

This time in the year 2025, I am however terrified that the Republican Monster has grown to proportions of such enormity that, it will be uncontrollable uncontainable! People say wait until the Mid Term elections, and my response is what Mid-Term elections…because a few months before they are to happen, TRUMP/MUSK with declare MARTIAL LAW.

 

And then to make peace with my churning and tuning mind, I recall the story of David and Goliath, and how a small stone could change the world's fate!

 

 

 

 

HELP- SOS

 America’s constitutional crisis could come to a head in four months

How Donald Trump and Elon Musk could use a debt ceiling breach to usurp Congress’s power. (VOX)

 

Dear Senators Warren and Marky of MA, the state in which I reside, and vote, I am fucking sick and tired of living one more day in a Trump world filled with Fascism, Tyranny, Anti-Democracy actions, and watching as you and the rest of your Democrat Senators, seem to do absolutely nothing to stop this madness.

 

Dear Senator Schumer, you are the minority leader, yet you seem as incompetent as you were when you were the majority leader. Stutter, stammer, hesitate, acquiesce, are the only qualities you seem to bring to the table as you watch Trump’s fascist march to the sea, or in this case his march to the Potamic River.    

 

 Representative Hakeem Jeffries’ (latest message deserves GOP leaders’ attention

As Democrats grow more assertive in combatting Donald Trump’s abuses, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent Republicans an important message.) Thank you for seemingly being the only Democrat with any authority to find a sound, a backbone, and in your case balls, to fight back, act up, and be loud.

 

I am petrified by the swift actions of AUTHORATARIANISM taken by Trump and your, Senator Markey Warren and Schumer’s lack of doing anything, almost anything at all about it.

 

SOS-HELP!

  

 

 

IMPLOSION!

 Donald Trump is an empty vessel when it comes to intelligence. However, he is a loaded cargo ship and destroyer when it comes to getting, even being evil and taking what he wants. 

 

Elon Musk is a sick, narcissistic, wannabe tyrant who believes that nobody is of the same caliber as he. Elon Musk is a nuclear-powered submarine ready to strike anyone, and anything Elon believes is threatening. And he is a pathetic, sad sack, an insecure piece of waste. Musk will do anything to remove any perceived enemy.

 

Both men can run this county amuck as if they were steering the TITANIC! Both men have courted the Wall Street Bankers, the Silicon Valley Tech Bros, and the 1% of the wealthy who would see the peasants (as in anyone but themselves) eat cake, stale cake at that, and nothing else!

 

Just watching both degenerates pretending that somehow they have balls of steel and penis the size of Sequoia Trees huff and puff, thinking they exude TESTOSTERONE is both bits of shock and awe (in a bad way) and burlesque (also in a bad way!)

 

If anything, and I hope I am correct, the tug of war for dominance will wane for a while until, and I hope I am correct, both men implode. The only problem with that is that JD (I could give a fuck about anyone but me) Vance becomes the new combination of Trump and Musk!

 

SERIOUSLY

 I’m a pediatrician. When parents attack me for suggesting vaccines, I fume at RFK Jr.

The flames of vaccine hesitancy have been stoked to a bonfire by fictitious stories by self-serving people like the nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services. (Opinion/MSNBC)

 

As I read articles like this regarding parents’ distrust of vaccines and medicine, I must wonder how these parents who, as children, received the same vaccines and medicine actually can look at themselves in the mirror and wonder how come they haven't died, how come I haven't been sick.

 

Seriously, these adults would not be able to be alive now had most of them not been provided with vaccines and medical care when they were children. So somehow, whatever medical advice and procedures they had received are no longer good enough for their children.

 

Just because biologically, there is a sperm and an egg does not translate into men and a woman is capable, responsible, and mentally able to parent children

more snake oil

 Trump has perfected the art of look over there, look what I can do, and look how I can do it without ever doing ONE fucking thing.

 

Trump is huffing and puffing regarding his so-called tariffs. He is wearing his Superman Cape, and it's hoping that his minions will worship him even more as he tells Canada and Mexico how subservient they are to the United States and, in particular, to King Donald.

 

Most likely, the Canadians and the Mexicans will acquiesce a slight bit, and Trump will then emphasize that both leaders of those nations were cowards and frightened by the power and the glory of Trump.

 

No matter the response from Canada or Mexico, Trump will seize upon the willingness of those two nations to try and find a compromise that is a pure, clean, clear victory for Trump and his authority.

 

The real deal will take place with China. One must wonder if there will be a compromise due to Ivanka wanting more trademarks, Jared wanting more billions, or Trump wanting more gifts and grafts. All Trump is bluff, bluster a façade, and a self-serving narcissist.

ME, and only ME

 A Physician walks into a room alongside a US vet. Both people are draped in the American flag thinking, thinking they are patriots and doing the people's work. Both people are nothing more than a facade their exterior is all red, white, and blue, and their interior is full of selfishness and self-serving.

 

Bill Cassidy’s decision on RFK Jr. could jeopardize his Senate career.

As a doctor, Cassidy is troubled by RFK Jr. As a politician, he has reason to support him anyway. (POLITICO)

 

'MAGA nation is watching': Joni Ernst's vote for Hegseth underscore's Trump's grip on GOP. When U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst announced this week she will vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as the nation’s next secretary of defense, it underlined President-elect Donald Trump’s immense sway over Congress and the grassroots in Iowa as he returns to the White House. (Des Moines Register)

 

Both Joni Ernst and Bill Cassidy demonstrated just how ugly politics can be when the only people who win in politics are politicians placing themselves above their constituents. Bill Cassidy is a physician, and he's going to support a snake oil salesman like RFK Jr. Joni Ernst is a female vet eager to support someone who says women should not serve in the military. It makes the military too woke.

 

Both Joni Ernst and Bill Cassidy are shams, shameful, and sinister, and neither one has the interest or the welfare of this nation as a priority. But the new normal is MAGA and the the new worship is the MAGA King Donold!

 

 

'Truth or Dare'

  

I

Trump admits his tariffs might cause American consumers ‘some pain’

How “little” would the “pain” caused his own agenda be? The president didn’t say. How long is the “short term”? The Republican didn’t say that, either.

n the 2024 presidential race, there’s ample evidence suggesting the price of living was foremost on the minds of many voters. This was not lost on Donald Trump, who spent months assuring Americans that he’d lower prices and help consumers. The Republican never got around to saying how, exactly, he intended to do this, but he repeated the promise anyway, and the vow helped propel him back into the White House. (Steve Benen/MSNBC)

 

This BEGS the question, as in ‘TRUTH or Dare,’ DIDJA’ really vote for Trump because no matter how much he has lied, you actually thought this time he meant every sleazebag word he uttered about inflation…OR you are enamored with Trump’s ability to be a BIGOT, RACIST,  and FASCIST! 

a MUSKY odor

 So, ya wanna discuss Immigrants and DEI, Republican hypocrite Fascist wannabes.

 

The immigrant from South Africa (BTW, the only African American on a high caliber of the TRUMP GESTAPO), MUSK, a guy who, even being the wealthiest man on the planet right now, can never become president (I say right now, because the way our Congress and Supreme Court work, money TALKS). This dude legally pays some of the lowest percentages of taxes because (money talks directly to those who could change this fiasco and injustice). YET he now wants access to ALL of our taxes as if somehow he was some elected official of the people for the people and by the people.

 

Imagine if this Nazi lover was, say, poor or just eking out a living. Do ya think he would be granted access to even an open door to Congress or the White House? But he has become Trump's version of DEI, as in Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion, if ya got millions of dollars to bribe, buy, and purchase Trump!

 

Some jerk, who does not pay his fair share of taxes, but pays above and beyond his fair share of bribery and grifting toward Republicans and, of course, Trump…some Nazi lover who could never ever become President, some ungrateful immigrant, so far has been granted the power to own and operate our tax base!

SAME BS

At least back in the awful old days, no one hid their Racism; the folks back then were very blatant, overt, and unapologetically direct with it.

 

SLAVERY, damn it, good for profits, good for the country, and good for your God! The more you had, the wealthier you became, and the more you had your status in your Racist County, City, Village, or State!

 

Moving forward in time, but always repeating the same Racist mistakes from history, by your God, you had “WHITES ONLY” bathrooms, hotels, water fountains, churches, and, of course, neighborhoods. Not only were you proud of all that segregation, but you bragged how MUCH BETTER OFF you were. And to prove just how white you really were, you donned white sheets for hats and robes and always made certain you had a noose or two handy.

 

Nowadays, pretending that it is not YOUR RACIST upbringing by parents who sadly biologically can have children, you think you hide the actual term RACISM by calling anyone, but you WOKE. Seriously, you think that if you call anyone WOKE, it makes you less of a pig, less of a fool, less of a hateful thug, less of a RACIST. No longer hiding behind your white robe and white sheets, you drape yourself in an American flag, usually with some photo of Trump sewn onto it, and you flaunt your Racist ways by wearing a red MAGA hat.

 

YOU think you are so sly to shout DEI or WOKE as if if those of us with humanity, common sense, and a much higher IQ than you won’t notice that you long for the days of SLAVERY, FASCISM and THEOCRACY! 

Just RHETROIC

 I think it's time we stop 

Children, what's that sound? 
Everybody look, what's going down?

There's battle lines being drawn 
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong… 
…Paranoia strikes deep 
Into your life it will creep 
It starts when you're always afraid 
Step out of line, the men come and take you away(For What It’s Worth/Stephen Stills)

We assume that we must wait at least another two years, and that the mid-term elections may bring about a more balanced Congress. Too often, we become lulled into assuming that the nature of American governing will follow its natural course, but what if it doesn’t? Are we becoming that naïve not to imagine that since TRUMP has risen to power a second time, he is going to risk not remaining as GOD OF AMERICA?

 

We hear a lot of rhetoric (Rhetoric is the art of persuasion, involving the effective use of language in speaking or writing to inform, motivate, or influence an audience. It encompasses various techniques and strategies to communicate ideas clearly and compellingly.) However, what we see is no action, no protests, no real pushback, somehow depending on words alone to keep us safe.

 

I am so tired of reacting when all I want to do is ACT UP!

 

DEI MAGA

 Hey, MAGA MINIONS, let’s talk about DEI.

Trump wants to hire Linda McMahon and Pam Bond, ain’t GALS supposed to always be home for their owner-husbands?

Ramaswamy, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, two Nonwhite males, and some women non-white. Can we trust that these WOKE dudes and their dudette won’t steal state secrets? Oh wait, that is Trump’s job.

The Gay dude Scott Bessent, huh, he is married to a man and has two kids. What would Jesus say?

 

Let's Discuss

Pentagon agency bans Black History Month in compliance with Trump’s anti-DEI push

The Defense Intelligence Agency also ordered the suspension of events marking LGBTQ Pride Month, Juneteenth and Holocaust Remembrance Day. (MSNBC)

 

Let’s discuss, shall we?                           

 

Hey Miriam Adelson, Miriam Adelson gives $100 million to the Trump campaign, making good on the reported pledge, so what the fuck, girl? Your man is such a supporter of Israel and those Jews, but what about recognizing the Jews who died during the Second World War, their families, and the history of Anti-Semitism? Fuck you!

 

Hey, Ms. Tim Scott and Byron Daniels, Snoop Dog and "Black Americans for Trump," which boasts endorsements from elected officials, athletes, entertainers, community leaders, and pastors from within the Black community, what the fuck? Your main man has little use for Black History Month, and I might suppose any history except for all great a profit was made from SLAVERY! Fuck you!

 

Hey Scott Bessent, Scott was sworn in as the 79th Secretary of the Department of Treasury. You know you are the G in the letters LGBTQ, but maybe because your kind of G is a part of the 1% of the wealth in this nation, you don’t give any fucks about other G’s or LBTQs.

 

The Hypocrisy, the Double Standard, and The Blind Eyes are so overwhelming!

  

Yadda, yadda Yadda

 Ken Martin wins election as the next chair of the Democratic National Committee. The DNC’s chair election marks a first step for a party looking to fill a void of leadership after the 2024 election. (NBC News)

 

I could either say, “Yadda, yadda, yadda,” or not.              

 

As a registered Democrat, this news is either one more useless headline for me or has the possibility to make headlines. As I had watched the current crop of Democrat leadership, who had the ability, as the major party in the Senate, to make a difference, to intervene, to assist Joe Biden with a transition earlier than later, who seemed to fall all over their own feet, I am with great caution and perhaps some hope, hoping that a new leader for the DNC can overcome the obstacles of the bloated, bygone days of a bunch of men and women who should excuse themselves and get the fuck out of the way.

 

The House took the risk and moved ahead with a new batch of leadership; isn’t it time for the Senate to do the same thing?

 

Chuckie, “Kick Me I am With Stupid,” Schumer has proven himself to be nothing more but a too-long-in-power Leader. He has winced, waned, and wallowed, permitting The Middle Earth Ogre McConnell to run roughshod and ruin. New leadership must include ALL new leadership!
