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?

 

 

AI and Trumps newest scam

 Trump to Name AI Czar While Rejecting Safety Risks as a Hoax. (Bloomberg)

Ya gotta wonder just how much private money Trump and his family are receiving from the Tech Bros. I wonder if it is the same amount of grift that Trump and his cronies have already received from the Fossil Fuel Cartel; I mean, how many times has Trump declared windmills to be evil! Not to mention how ready Trump has been to open up US National Parks for mining.

And then Trump added this: “President Donald Trump said he would name an artificial intelligence czar as he continued to push tech companies to race ahead with development despite growing fears safety. He rejected concerns that the quickly evolving technology may pose risks to humans as a hoax, comparing it to the alarm over climate change and the scandals that led to his two impeachments during his first term.” (Bloomberg)

Greed is the only motive behind everything Trump does. With greed comes power. Power and greed seem unstoppable for Trump. Add to that the fawning parasites who also thrive on power and greed, and we have a very dangerous cocktail when drunk persuades a person that he or she is limitless in becoming a God-like creature.

So far, the Supreme Court has acquiesced to the wanton wishes of the wicked King. The checks and balances written in the Constitution are mainly words written in pencil for Trump and his allies, thanks to the hateful Republicans in power who despise American Democracy. Add to that his cult-like followers whose only priority is that Trump hates the people they hate, and there is little to no stopgap in place to stop Trump.

I strongly believe that as long as Trump can make a bigger buck, he will never weigh the health and safety, the morals or values, good over evil for anyone else but himself.

 

 

Death as a non-priority

 “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has come under fire for appearing to complain that children dying with measles get more attention than people he says are harmed by vaccines. As the death toll from the worst measles outbreak in decades rises, Donald Trump’s Health Secretary also told a room full of vaccine skeptics that they had a “steadfast friend” in Washington.” (The Daily Beast).

Nothing to see here, so says one of the most idiotic and maniacal Cabinet Secretaries serving in the Trump Reich. Death and dying by kids are so yesterday, so it seems to this moron. So, what if a few kids or a few dozen kids die from a disease that had almost been eradicated before he took office? Most likely a conspiracy from the Liberal Democrats to make not only Kennedy look bad, but an intentional “gotcha” against Trump. 

The Republican Party, which loves to brag about being the only Pro-Life people in politics, once again demonstrates just how ineffective they are at actually preserving life and then making that life viable and livable.

Hard to keep track of the Trump Clown Car Cabinet, as to who is the most incompetent fool. You got Hegseth, whose wife is now sitting in on matters of Defense (rumor has it she is there to make sure Pete doesn’t drink on the job). Then there is Patel bringing back bestiality as a qualifying perversion to serve in the FBI. Good ole Markwayne Mullin, bragging about deporting any Congressperson who is a Muslim. Then there's Scottie Bessent, who insists the Treasury is honestly considering Trump’s bribery of sending $5000 checks. 

But right now, above and beyond the stupid, the crazy, the absurd of any other Clown Car Cabinet Member, RFK Jr. is the most dangerous, as he is negating the health and welfare and the death of children as a non-priority.

 

 

 

          

I want my money back

 “Democrats were ready to pounce when Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) sent the House home a day earlier than planned this week after already having canceled the final two weeks of votes scheduled ahead of the November midterms.

“What are Republicans doing?” asked Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries at a Thursday news conference with House Democratic leadership. “They’re running away from their responsibilities here on Capitol Hill.” (The Washington Post).

Trump is scared. So, he has demanded that his lackey, actually the best lacky ever, Mike Johnson, cancel the number of days that the House of Representatives is in session. Most of the Republicans in the House most likely prefer this idea, so that they can pretend that they care about their constituents, but if they remained in their job, they might have to vote on legislation that demonstrates how much more they care about pleasing Trump than helping those who voted them into office in the first place. Mike Johnson may be called the Speaker of the House, but the only person he speaks for is Trump.

There are 243 days from January 1 through August 31. If you are a full-time employee with a standard five-day workweek, you probably worked around 165 of them, depending on how generous your holiday and PTO policy is. But the House held floor votes on 65 of those days, just over a quarter of the time. That’s low, even by Congress’s standards. Washington always slows down during election years as members spend more time at home campaigning. But No Labels pulled the data going all the way back to 1994; 2026 was the fewest voting days in over three decades. (No Labels)

The total cost to taxpayers for members of the House of Representatives includes a salary of $174,000 per year, plus an average office budget of approximately $1.93 million per member, which covers staff salaries, office expenses, and travel. Additionally, members receive benefits such as health insurance and a pension under the Federal Employees Retirement System. (fedlaws.org)

Umm, at least for me, if the public servants for whom I am paying their salaries, benefits, and office budgets are not showing up for work on a regular basis, I am not happy and want my money back. But who am I just a lowly taxpayer!

 

 

 

 

Should have said, Thanks, but no thanks!"

 “In response to detailed questions, a spokesperson for Trump Jr. did not dispute the wedding payments from Kremlev. “Umar is a personal friend of Don,” he said. The spokesman said that Kremlev is “not someone he has a business relationship with” and that the men met through a mutual friend in the hunting world and bonded over their love of boxing and the outdoors.

A spokesperson for Trump Jr.’s brother Eric said of Kremlev: “Eric has absolutely no clue who this person is, nor has never heard his name.” 

In a statement, Kremlev’s press office said, “Mr. Kremlev and Mr. Trump Jr have a friendly relationship” and they first met “a couple of years ago.” (New York Magazine)

Maybe I should ignore this continuous story regarding the Don and Betinna wedding saga, but I don’t. Who gives a fuck about Junior and his bride, you might ask… and the answer to that who cares " question is that Don Junior is the evil seed of Don Senior, and both men are career corrupt conmen. Both wield significant influence and power, breathe the same rotten air of scams, and have shown zero evidence of moral fortitude or a sense of values.

And like their in-law, Jared Kushner, both men have flirted with, caved to, and have sung the praises of Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin, by the way, has invaded the democratic nation of Ukraine and has been proven to have provided information to the Iranians regarding all of the US bases in the Middle East.

Putin is an enemy of the United States, and so far, the behavior of the Trump/Kushner families has proven that as long as there is a profit to be made, they too can and will be enemies of the United States. 

The bull shit line from Junior and his wife is that Kremlev is a friend and he gave a gift… Kremlev is a BFF of Putin, an enemy of the USA, so it would have been very easy for Junior and his wife to say, thanks, but no thanks!

 

 

A Master Race?

 Pentagon Wants Only the Fittest Troops to Attend Upcoming Hegseth Speech. Service members must meet waist-to-height standards and have “impeccable” grooming. (The Wall Street Journal)

The Nazis considered the putative "Aryan race" a superior "master race" with Germanic peoples as representative of the Nordic race being considered the best branch, and they considered Jews, mixed-race people, Slavs, Romani, black people, and certain other ethnicities racially inferior subhumans, whose members were only suitable for slave labor and extermination. (Wikipedia).

Pete Hegseth is an insecure man who feels emasculated and always looks for a scapegoat to blame for his own inadequacies. He seems terrified by women, nauseated by people of color, and consumed with the horrors of never being a real mucho, macho male. Pete, of course, is in power because his boss, Donnie Trump, shares the same sad, sick insecurities about manliness as Pete. 

Hitler and his henchmen, I believe, suffered from the same delusions of power, might, and superiority, always fearful that their own weaknesses might be discovered, showcasing just how inadequate they are. To offset their lack of self-esteem, the Nazi’s decided that they would create a false narrative by identifying as a master race. In doing so, it was a whole lot easier to scapegoat, belittle, and eventually convince other insecure people that they were the master race. 

This bizarre psychology worked well during Nazi Germany, and sadly Pete and Trump are trying desperately to do the same in the United States. Weak men, are a parasite, weak men with power are deadly!

 

 

He just hates you

 Trump is doing everything he can, and with the spineless and immoral Republican majority in Congress, he is having zero pushback in doing so, and he is Making Trump Great Again.

“This year, Trump has championed a number of initiatives and positions that a solid majority of Americans oppose. There’s his deeply unpopular war against Iran; a new trade war with Canada and a new name for Lake Ontario; the “anti-weaponization” slush fund his Justice Department concocted, which even GOP allies instantly rejected; and his incessant need to build a White House ballroom, among other efforts to gut-renovate D.C. — using taxpayer dollars — in the middle of a nationwide affordability crisis his administration undoubtedly made worse.” (New York Magazine).

Add to the fact that all Trump cares about is his wealth and feeding his fragile ego, the fact that, along the way, as long as he keeps his American billionaire oligarchs satisfied, he reaps the reward of never having to say he is sorry.

Trump Can’t Stop Backing Stuff Americans Hate. (New York Magazine)

 In a Truth Social post, Donald Trump said the only “guardrails” AI needs are a “STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT.” Poll upon poll has demonstrated the American public’s loathing for AI Data Centers, but as long as his Tech Bro’s feed him and his family, Donnie gives zero shits about the rest of us. And Trump’s EPA has recently rescinded greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles and power plants, significantly reducing federal regulations on emissions. His carbon-burning barons have paid Trump good money to help them kill the planet and its inhabitants, because profits are more important than the health and welfare of the rest of us.

To support Trump is to admit that your life is meaningless, you are impressed with immorality, values are for heretics, and that to embrace Trump is simply to state that as long as he hates the same people you hate, it is no biggie in hating yourself.
