Don't worry, be Patriotic

 Gas prices have risen by more than $1.50 per gallon since President Donald Trump launched attacks against Iran almost 10 weeks ago, and throughout that time, Republican lawmakers have offered a consistent response to the increased costs: It’s a sacrifice we have to make. (MS NOW)

So, now as the Republicans want to charge the taxpayer with a $1billion elites only ballroom, as the Trump-initiated war in Iran is on, then off, then maybe on or maybe off again, as Trump flies off to play golf one more thousandth time, costing the taxpayers to fly him on his frequent vacations, as SNAP benefits and health Care Costs continue to rise because the Republicans only seem to care about being Pro-Life, when it comes to controlling women’s bodies, SO NOW, we are being told that increased costs of gasoline is a Patriotic sacrifice we all should just shut up about and be grateful that it is costing the taxpayers a billion dollars a day.

The Republicans who were outraged at the $3.15 price of gasoline during the Biden Administration don’t feel like discussing with the media why, now that gasoline prices are higher than that and climbing, they suddenly call upon patience. And when asked why, suddenly these same Republicans feel it is Patriotic to support the Trump War, they remind reporters that it is none of their business.

No accountability to the public, none. Fearing repercussions from their Dear Leader, these cowards in Congress provide a middle finger to the American public. How in the world, unless you are a billionaire, a bigot, a racist, or just a person who enjoys shooting yourself in your own foot, could even consider voting Republican in November or ever!

What, now!

 Operation Epic Fury, according to the bull shit artists glowing like enriched uranium, from within the White House, is over. Not necessarily because the war with Iran is over, but to skirt the legalities of declaring a war without the consent of Congress, Operation Epic Fury, like magic, is finished. Wham bam no thank you, ma’am! Remember that Operation Fury was never necessary because until Trump decided to both try and keep the Epstein Files from contaminating the news, and to think that somehow, he, Trump, could pull off an invasion of Iran surpassing any President before him. Like almost every gimmick Trump has tried and failed at, Operation Epic Fury was dead on arrival, but this time, this death actually caused the lives of many Americans and thousands of non-Americans.

Now, because Trump said so, and his German Nazi enablers like Hegseth and Rubio have been instructed to do so, we can forget Operation Epic Fury (because it was so successful-NOT), and the newest line of bull shit to erupt from the radioactive, miserable lives of the White House liars is something more American-sounding, more benevolent, as in Project Freedom. You know a project to reopen the Straits, which had been opened until Operation Epic Fury closed them. Uh-Huh!

So, now Trump and his Fascist leaning, self-serving anti-American slot of sycophants, thinking that all Americans either watch FOX or listen to Right Wing Podcasts, are certain that this newest con can convince the USA citizens that this entire war was created to keep freedom of the seas alive. 

But wait, just as Rubio and Hegseth were “just following orders,” the demented mind of Trump stepped up and declared that, for now, Project Freedom is on hold. 

Trump announced the U.S. will temporarily pause “Project Freedom,” which involves escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, following requests from Pakistan and other countries. The president cited recent U.S. military gains and ongoing negotiations as reasons for the pause, emphasizing that the blockade against Iran will remain in place. The suspension is intended to create space for talks between the U.S. and Iran to be finalized, with the operation expected to resume if an agreement is not reached. (MS NOW).

WOW, just to be clear, the enriched uranium was never removed, the fall of the Iranian Regime did not fully collapse, as a matter of fact, more hardliners are in power, the Iranian people did not rise up, the Strait, which was already open, is now closed. There is war, then there isn’t, there are peace talks, but then they do not exist. There is a ceasefire, but not always. There was a need for Epic Fury costing billions of dollars, but that is so passe that instead we have Project Freedom, except not right now. 

God Bless America!

 

 

Republicans just do not care

 GOP offers $1B for White House security, sparking dispute over ballroom. Senate Republicans maintain their proposal would authorize security construction, but not Trump’s ballroom. The White House disagrees. (The Washington Post)

It never ends when it comes to the Republican Party placing the American debt deeper and deeper in deficit mode. These are the same hypocrites who have decried that it is too costly to provide affordable health care, nutrition programs, after-school care, or universal pre-school. This is the Party that has decided not to tax billionaires their fair percentage based on their wealth. This is the Party that so far has no problem in stopping the billion-dollar-a-day expense for Trump’s “look over there war” in Iran. 

This is the Party that keeps telling us don’t worry about the price of groceries, it’s Biden’s fault, and if you are a true Patriot, then spending $4 or $5 or $6 on gas should not upset you, and besides, once the Trump Iran War is over, gasoline will be so cheap that you will thank Trump.

Now the $400 million ballroom, which at first was going to be $300 million and was going to be paid by the billionaires who do not pay their fair share of taxes, is no longer $400 million but $1billion, because somehow whatever the fuck kind of security the White House once had is obsolete. And on top of that, Republican bull shit, let’s kiss Trump’s orange ass, insidious action, Führer Trump is still having his selfish, self-serving hissy fit by insisting that this money IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE BALLROOM.

The greed, the grift, the gluttony, and the right in our face of FUCK OFF PEASANTS by the Republicans is disgusting…and yet there are fools enough in this nation who support them!

 

He JUST doesn't care

  

About 17,000 Spirit Airlines employees lost their jobs overnight when the airline abruptly shut down operations. They are now unemployed, have no access to health care, and all that floated from the toilet bowl, which is the Trump Reich, is:

Team Trump tries to blame Biden for Spirit Airlines’ collapse, but reality gets in the way. 

There’s ample evidence to the contrary. As The Associated Press reported, “Although Spirit had gone bankrupt twice before, the company said high oil prices, which have been rising because of the war with Iran, made it impossible to stay aloft.” NBC News added, “Spirit, which has struggled to maintain consistent profitability since the Covid-19 pandemic, had been looking to emerge from its second bankruptcy in less than a year. But those plans were derailed amid soaring jet fuel costs sparked by the outbreak of the war with Iran.” (MS NOW)

Trump was at his Doral Golf Club on Sunday, May 3, 2026. Trump was busy working with architects to dismantle the three public golf courses in Washington, DC, hoping to transform them into a collage of his golf courses across the nation and around the world. Trump was getting ready to fly his personal jet (no, not Air Force One), but the grift, I mean gift, jet from the government of Qatar. Trump was busy painting the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Pool some kind of sky blue. Trump, once he flew to his Doral golf club in Florida, used Air Force One to fly 80 minutes to visit his two other golf clubs in Florida.

Demolishing the White House, building a Ballroom, planning a Golden Arch, playing golf, none of which seems to say, “America First,” rather all of which scream “Trump First.”

Unemployed, no affordable health coverage, price of groceries rising like the flood waters of a broken dam, and gasoline at the pump at a 20% increase in just the last few days. The Trump War in Iran continues at an estimated cost of a billion dollars a day, with new details finally finding oxygen, that the destruction to the American bases in the Middle East, hit by the Iranians, will cost the taxpayer billions and billions of dollars.

What a strange way to make America great, again!

 

 

Like, DUH!

 Top Republicans say Trump pulling troops from Top Republicans say Trump pulling troops from Germany sends ‘wrong signal’ to Putin. The GOP statement is a rare rebuke of Trump, whose foreign policy and other decisions have largely gone unchallenged by congressional Republicans. (MS NOW)

Like DUH…I read articles like this, and my mind kind of explodes. Top Republicans suddenly have a “whack on the side of the head,” it’s as if they have been sleepwalking these past few months, paying zero attention to the Trump Reich and his Lieutenants, who have criticized President Zelensky of Ukraine, or have insisted that the only peace plan for Ukraine is for Ukraine to cede its territory to Putin, that Russia had invaded.

Add to that, the red-carpet welcome Trump lavished on Putin when he landed in Alaska, the hours-long phone call Trump had with Putin regarding Iran, and of course the permission for Russian oil to be back on the petroleum market, boasting income for Russia to pay for the military intervention into Ukraine.

And let’s go back in time when Trump publicly asked if “Russia was listening!”

The top Republicans have been way too silent, way too eager to please Trump’s desires to side with Putin and Russia, at the expense of our allies and at the detriment of NATO. Pretending that Trump is either a Russian agent, being blackmailed by Putin, or so enamored of becoming a dictator like his idol Putin, because doing so kept them from getting on Trump’s enemy list, has been nothing but an outright fuck you to our Democracy and to those of us who prefer freedom to Fascism.

So suddenly these top Republicans have crawled out of Trump’s ass, to actually see the truth!

 

 

 

 

He can identify ANIMALS

 President Donald Trump rambled about his ability to correctly identify animals as he touted his mental acuity on Friday, while suggesting his own supporters would not pass such a test. I took three of them. Aced all of them, by the way,” Trump rambled. “I’m the only president to take a cognitive test, because I don’t think Obama could pass it. I don’t.”

“I’m in a room of brilliant people, but a lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those 10 questions,” the president declared. “And when I got the score in the test, the doctor said, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen—’” (The Daily Beast)

Speaking to a large group of his supporters at ‘The Villages’, in Florida, the largest retirement village in the USA, Trump touted that he is such a brainiac, that somehow, because his IQ is bigger, best and better than most human beings, his doctors insisted he take cognitive tests, not only one or two, but because he is so smart he has taken three!

Cognitive tests for seniors are assessments designed to evaluate mental functions such as memory, attention, and reasoning. These tests help identify potential cognitive impairments and can guide further evaluation if necessary. (Alzheimer’s Association).

I am taking a large inhale of air as I write this, because as much as I want to laugh at this older, demented man, lacking any insight or ability of introspection, I am feeling a knot in my stomach, because this man is not someone’s grandpa in need of intervention; he happens to be the President of the United States. He is the Commander-In-Chief; he is the guy with the nuclear codes. I must wonder, who in the Cabal of enablers has zero care for the welfare of this nation?

Oh, yeah, and the residents of ‘The Villages’ who support him seem to have no problem being told that they may be smart, but compared to him, they are idiots! But then again they continue to support him, so maybe they are, indeed, idiots!

 

So, NOW his War is TERMINATED

 White House tells Congress Iran war has been ‘terminated,’ skirting 60-day clock. President Trump’s letters come at a key moment on Capitol Hill, where Republican criticism of the conflict has been relatively muted as lawmakers have warily eyed the two-month marker that could force a war powers vote. (MS NOW)

Well, that was easy, wham bam, he began the war, wham bam, right now, he says he ended the war. So, to avoid any flak from the fleckless Republican led majority in Congress, Trump schemers and liars decided that whatever the changing goals were to end this, as Trump summarized, “EXCURSION” (and I thought English was Melania’s second language have taken place, not right before the American public’s eye, but in that imaginary dungeon in which Trump thrives.

So, now that Trump has terminated his Let’s Hide the Epstein Files War, does that mean that the approximate $1Billioin a day it is costing the taxpayers has also ended? Does that mean that the $4 to $6 a gallon price of gasoline, American drivers and workers will terminate and go back down to at $3 a gallon? Does that mean the Gulf of Hormuz reopened again, like it was before Trump started a war, and then it was closed? Umm, does that mean that all of the nuclear materials are once again under international supervision, as in the plan implemented by Obama, which Trump immediately fucked over? And does that mean that the regime change happened, or is that still a secret!

The con goes on, and on, and on. It continues because 99% of the Republicans do not care for truth, or honor or for the American people, but prefer thinking that they will remain in power by supporting this lying piece of Despot shitwipe!
