BUT MEANWHILE

 The latest boogeyman, from the PR deviants working for the Republican Party, has become Communism and the Communists. The men and women who give little fucks about this nation, but who make their living tearing apart our democracy, are tirelessly working to invent a new OTHER. Immigrants, Trans People, and Muslims remain high on their list, but those demographics have been used so often that someone new to vent your bigotry and hate towards seems necessary. For the low-intelligence, low-IQ, and very MAGA Americans, having a new villain is a useful bit of distraction.

BUT MEANWHILE…

President Xi of China arrived in the United States. And even though Presidents never go to the airport to greet them, Trump arrived. And not only did Trump make an appearance, but Trump had our American military, all decked out in their pomp and circumstance uniforms, act the fool as about a dozen military men and women got down on their knees and made sure that the Red Carpet laid out in front of Xi’s plane was neat and tidy and clean. All of this, mind you, for the leader of a major Communist nation. (And be reminded that when Trump visited Beijing, some lower-level Chinese official casually met Trump with no red carpet.)

Communism is bad. But when Capitalists want to make better business deals, Communism is as patriotic as the American Eagle. Meeting with President Xi, we’re two of the poster boys for why Capitalism is like Cancer (you know, a disease that eats away at your soul): Elon Musk and Sam Altman, two guys who seem to hate anyone who is not as wealthy as they are, and two men who think that money is the air we breathe and the water we drink. The ugly Americans were in attendance with the guy who is the face of Communism in the year 2026.

Republicans and the PR teams they hire to establish their dirty work understand that identifying an enemy is the best way to get the insecure, the paranoid, the unhappy, the dumb as shit to go out and vote. Many, if not most, Republican voters like to believe that the only reason THEY are not successful in their lives is due to the fact that there are too many of the OTHERS out there getting in their way. And the Republican Machine, if anything, is so capable of delivering a scapegoat.

Mucho, macho!

 Turns Out We Blew Up All Those Boats in the Caribbean for Nothing. As if we needed more confirmation that Pete Hegseth and our defense department are both psychotic and ineffectual. (Esquire)

Hegseth's Murder Inc. just can’t help themselves, acting like bloated maniacs on testosterone. To be a man’s man in the world of such emasculated males as Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and Trump means never saying you are sorry for maiming or murdering anyone you see fit to do so. The more people you hurt, the bigger boner you enjoy, and nothing says masculine like having the biggest boner in the world.

It should come as no surprise that the impotent male, Hegseth, set a course to pretend he is the macho-est male in the universe, but it should come as everyone’s outrage that Hegseth gets away with murder.

Rape, pillage, shoot, kill, in the name of masculinity, and if you do so under the tutelage of Trump, do so and face zero consequences.

Now we have moves from the Caribbean Sea to the Strait of Hormuz and the Iranian Republic. The location may have changed from where the hapless and ignorant Hegseth performs his antiquated rituals of maleness, but the result is the same failure.

No amount of steroids, male enhancement, or testosterone will ever help Hegseth discover his mucho macho mojo, cause this dude is just a failure as a human and as a male.

 

 

"I am the CODE."

 ‘I am the code’: Trump clashed with ballroom architect over safety issues. James McCrery II resigned in October after warning that the president was insisting on designs that violated fire and safety codes. (The Washington Post)

Trump is once again pretending he is a God. It should be hilarious, and truly his commentary is not unexpected, but once again, we witness a very deranged man doing something dangerous, and once again, it seems he is getting away with being CRAZY!

A few comments from me regarding Trump’s behavior this time around. First, let’s begin with the quote, “I AM THE CODE.” Knowing Trump, always projecting his insecurities via his words and deeds, the word CODE could be replaced with King, Lord, Savior, and Omnipotent. For Trump, there is no higher power than him!

Second, Trump has even said that if he wants a Golden Ballroom, it doesn't matter whether anyone using that ballroom is safe from architectural hazards. Safety Codes are not a priority as long as Trump demands a temple be built in his honor.

Third of all, throughout his life, Trump has seemed to get away with the most egregious actions. Now and then he is slapped on the hand, but none of that, so far, has stopped him from pursuing his nefarious intentions. Trump will not stop to look and consider changes, because, as he has demonstrated in the past, all Trump has to do is hire someone who gives the same amount of “no shits” as Trump. Corruption loves corruption!

 

 

 

What goes around...

 “The multiracial coalition that helped Donald Trump win the presidency in 2024 is unraveling. Heading into the midterms, a portion of the MAGA base appears to be increasingly hostile to ethnic and religious minorities, including the small but prosperous Indian-American community.

Earlier this month, Bo French, the Republican nominee for a Texas Railroad Commission seat, shared on social media a photo of ecstatic Indian-American students in an Austin stadium celebrating a University of Texas football victory over Ohio State. Mr. French tweeted: “I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.” (The Wall Street Journal)

Finally, the secretive backroom conversations, the innuendos, the subtle instances, which have become the blatant and intentional musings of Republicans and the politicians they support, have made it into the sunshine. Republicans and their white majority of voters hate, loathe, fear, and despise any person of color.

What surprised me was the mere fact that the people of color who actually voted for Trump or wore the Red Hate of Hate thought that somehow they were a different breed of people of color, that somehow if they loathed and despised the same as their Caucasian Republican buddies, they would be exempt from becoming the dreaded Republican Other!

Sad and pathetic demographics who somehow seem to think that it is okay to hate people who look like them, thinking that the real bigots within the Republican Party would overlook the color of their skin, the language they spoke, or their ancestors’ original country.

What goes around eventually comes around!

 

 

Help Me, Zelensky

 “Donald Trump pleaded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacking Russia’s refineries as the global oil crisis continues to damage the 80-year-old president.

Details of the Sunday call, which Ukrainian officials leaked to the Financial Times, reveal that Trump was desperate to talk about “diesel, diesel . . . diesel” while urging Zelensky to halt the drone bombardments against Russia.

Details of the call emerged after the Moscow region came under intense drone strikes targeting oil refineries that are crucial to funding Vladimir Putin’s war efforts, in what is believed to be Ukraine’s largest single attack on Russia since the invasion began in February 2022.” (The Daily Beast)

Democracy for Ukraine, no thanks. Ukraine is being attacked and invaded; who cares? But somehow, if it comes to what Trump believes is best for him, well, now that becomes a whole other story.

Now, I believe there are a whole lot of reasons why Trump gives zero shits regarding Ukraine, and for me, they mainly stem from the fact that Putin has instructed the compromised President to hate Ukraine; it could be anything from hidden videos of Trump, or hidden receipts of Russian gifts to Trump, or maybe even the hidden facts regarding just how intensely and deviously Russia intervened in every single election Trump was actually on the ballot.

All of that matters, of course, but right now, the felon, the sexual harasser, the gifter, the con, the liar is much more worried that if the Democrats take the majority, Mr. Orange Spray will finally be held accountable for his crimes. 

 

 

 

Because of National Security

 When all else and your vanity projects are seen as nothing but you, an insecure fool, decide that it is a case of National Security.

Trump is on to his next phase of crazy; first, it was the fact that his ballroom (his ballroom, not the average non-billionaire person’s) would suddenly be a fortified military bunker. (Because no average citizen knows exactly how fortified the White House already is, this whole thing is probably a sham.) And now Trump’s paranoia has morphed into a 250-foot Arch that suddenly is not just a vanity project but now a drone headquarters and a sniper base.

Amazing, isn’t it, when Trump’s self-aggrandizing projects are discovered to be nothing but a sad, sick old man's insecurities, and there is dispute regarding these, that wham bam thank you ma’am they suddenly turn into defense projects. Lie after lie, and then Trump’s army of anarchists and PR Fascists come up with a new excuse…America is under attack, and Trump’s love for this nation inspired him to build a ballroom and erect an arch.

And because they say that three times is a perfect charm, Trump’s assault on the First Amendment of Free Speech, where he has insisted that MS Now/CNN/Politico are a fake news cabal, Trump has claimed once again that he is doing this for National Security.

The grift, the lies, the bull shit goes on and on and on…Of Course It's because of National Security

When does it become too late

 Trump Floats Obliterating Entire Nation in Chilling Fox News Call.

“Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend Sunday, following a conversation with the 80-year old president.

“I just spoke with President Trump about the situation with Iran,” Yingst said from Tel Aviv. “He tells Fox News he’s in a ‘deciding mode,’ and that ‘very big things are going to be happening in the not-so-distant future.”

Yingst shared: “The president described the current choices on the table as ‘wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically, or making a deal.’ “He added, ‘My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? They better behave.” (The Daily Beast).

Okay, another day, another threat. Perhaps if Trump were some 80-year-old codger sitting on his porch pissed off at the neighbors because they parked in front of his house, or some older guy who couldn’t find his newspaper and blamed the entire neighborhood for trying to steal his stuff, maybe the rest of us could roll our eyes, share a “tsk, tsk,” and go on with our day. But this 80-year-old man is the guy who has the power and permission to declare a nuclear strike and make certain that the rest of us die a very horrible death, just because he did not get his way! 

Yeah, we have heard this old, demented man scream and shout, lie, accuse, threaten, and act maliciously, and yeah, the rest of us (even you MAGA) have paid many a consequence for his actions. Too often, we have held our breath just to realize that Trump is crazy, thinking that this time he might be told to stop. 

But this is America version 2026, and so far, no one has stood tall enough to say, dude, you are nuts, you are dangerous, and honestly, dude, you need to be removed from office.

How many times will the rest of us overlook these manic machinations, pretending that he is all bark and no bite? The Trump/Iran War rages on and on and on, going nowhere but deeper and deeper into Hell! When will it be too late to say enough?
