They don't know shame

 The same Republican Senators who crouched behind rows of seats in the Senate Chamber, the same group of Republican Senators who cowered in corners, almost crying because they knew there was a mad mob of MAGA waiting to attack them. This group of men and women who feared for their lives had the audacity to sit in front of Jack Smith and call him out as a liar, a traitor, and label him as the true enemy of the state, because he tried his best to investigate and prosecute the one man who insisted on an American insurrection, TRUMP!

But who should actually be surprised by this behavior, as it is the same haters of American Democracy, the Republicans, who have permitted the pedophilia practiced by Trump and his perverted billionaire to go unscathed. And it is the same exact spineless, self-serving men and women who have permitted Trump’s war in Iran to continue, and who have yawned and done very little to stop Trump’s tariffs. 

Oh yeah, and while they are at it, practicing the truest form of Republican hypocrisy, these Republican fools have purposely looked the other way as Trump and his Family and a cadre of his Cabinet members have continued their corruption and criminal ways, stealing from the dollars that taxpayers have paid to the government.

One might say that the Republicans have no shame, and one would immediately state that they do not have any shame.

Just Chump Change

 The Department of Homeland Security has tapped $20 million to pay for the campaign-style ads glorifying President Donald Trump that have drawn widespread criticism from Republicans and Democrats as a blatant misuse of taxpayer dollars that likely runs afoul of anti-propaganda law. (AP News)

House lawmakers spent $6.7 million of taxpayer money on meals and lodging last year — a 21 percent increase over 2024 — under a reimbursement program that doesn’t require them to provide receipts, a Washington Post analysis found. (The Washington Post)

Our money- those of us who pay taxes, those of us who pay our fair share of taxes, those of us who are not politicians, or a part of the Trump Reich. Be it a Ballroom, a Triumphant Arch, a Golf Course in DC, and now propaganda ads and slush fund money for politicians to party, we the people seem to have less and less of a voice in how our tax dollars are being spent, as more and more of our tax dollars are being spent on the whims and wishes of Trump and Congress.

Taxation without Representation- remember when the 13 colonies decided that the British Monarchy had no right to take out money, all the while denying us less and less of a vote to decide how, where, and why our money was being spent? It was called the Revolutionary War.

But here we are 250 years older, not wiser, not wealthier, but once again being played the fool by a government and its officials who consider us CHUMPS, and use our money as CHUMP CHANGE

Try to understand this

 Jack Smith clashes with senators over Trump probes, says he will not be silenced. The former special counsel defended his scrutiny of the president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and handling of classified documents. Republicans are pressing for a Justice Department inquiry of his conduct. (The Washington Post)

Let’s understand Trump’s direct role in the attempted insurrection in the United States around the usually taken-for-granted transfer of power from one administration to the duly elected next administration. It happened; we witnessed it. Trump, his family, and his apostles watched, waited, and delighted in the Mob attacking the Capitol Police, attempting to attack Congress (yeppers, Republicans as well as Democrats), and it took a whole lot of destruction inside and outside the Capitol Building before Trump made a lame attempt to stop his marauding MAGA minions.

Let’s understand that Top Secret, Confidential, and For Certain Eyes-Only materials, files, and information had been hijacked from the White House to the Trump Palace of Mar-a-Lago. The FBI photographed the documents in bins, closets, and bathrooms, and the photos were made public. Trump admitted to taking these documents, pretending that they belonged to him.

NOW, let’s understand the reality of those two anti-American actions. NOW that Trump is KING of the United States and has working for him some of the most criminal-minded attorneys, LAW and Order regarding Trump has become irrelevant. We have two kinds of LAWS: those that can be broken by Trump and his Billionaire Bros, supported and encouraged by Republicans and the Activist Republican Judges within the Supreme Court…and Laws that only pertain to anyone who is not a member of the Trump Elitists.

Jack Smith is a hero, but since he bases his work on seeking justice, discovering truth, and eliminating lies, he has found himself being heralded as a criminal by the most corrupt and disgusting Americans in any century of our existence.

 

 

 

HYPE

 HYPE- Hype means promotional publicity of an extravagant or contrived kind, or deception/put-on in some uses. It also commonly refers to repeated advertising and discussion that makes something seem very important or exciting. (Merriam-Webster).

Like Charlie Brown and Lucy, as Lucy, in a sinister pose, holds the football, convincing Charlie Brown to just give it one more kick…to trust her once again, only to pull the football away and find Charlie Brown face first on the ground, the Media, the PR, the hype of the political world seem to convince the public that certain outcomes are a sure thing; only to discover that reality is not truly based on fiction.

We are told that most likely, almost certainly, a BLUE TSUNAMI is approaching us for the upcoming Midterms. Watch out, Republicans; be afraid, Republicans; your time for doom and gloom is right beyond the next corner. And hadn’t we heard that before, to be exact, during the final weeks of the 2016 Presidential campaign! You know, as in Hillary was wayyyyy ahead of Trump, it was gonna be a clear victory for the Dems. But then it wasn’t.

I worry a whole lot about the future of our democracy, and as deeply as I worry about that, I worry just as much about the HYPE around how huge the Blue Wave is growing for the Midterms of 2026. For me, HYPE is a man-made product producing only Bull Shit.

Then I read articles like these: Why Susan Collins is hanging on so tightly in Maine. A new poll provided a reality check to Democrats’ hopes that Troy Jackson would unseat the Republican incumbent… Dispelling the myth that Republicans are defecting from Trump. The actual explanation is far less sensational than many headlines would have us believe. (MS NOW)… AND I understand that one of the real enemies of the people is just how easily we are lulled into complacency by HYPE!

 

 

 

 

 

No vote for you

 Uh-huh! Yeah! Yeppers! A so-called Blue Wave is supposed to be heading our way, providing a chance to redirect this nation’s collision course into Fascism and veer it closer to Democracy. Wishful thinking, and the closer we come to the midterm elections in November 2026, the more it seems we are moving farther away from freedom and smashing into authoritarianism.

There are 37 days until the 2026 midterm elections, which will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The 2026 United States midterm elections will determine control of the 120th Congress. 37 days, and during that time period, starting well ahead of the final moments, I believe it will either make America truly great again or find America as a once-upon-a-time great nation, with Trump and his anti-democracy Supreme Court Justices waging war against fair and free elections.

The Supreme Court Has Just Made a Horrendous Voting Rights Decision That Could Drastically Swing the Midterms. Fair elections might soon become a thing of the past. “The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration can deploy an expansive online system that combines citizenship information, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive data about millions of Americans, including to allow states to use it to hunt for ineligible voters. Critics fear that using the system could result in the purging of large numbers of valid voters from state rolls, if states choose to use it ahead of the midterm elections.” (Esquire).

Men and one woman of the National American Christian ilk, spawn of the anti-American group The Heritage Foundation and inheritors of vast amounts of bribery money from Republican billionaires, have decided that to maintain their biased and bigoted control of power and to keep Trump the madman in power, our elections will no longer be decided by the actual American voter, but rather selected by the Reichstag of the Trump Gestapo.

Too much hyperbole on my part, NOT AT ALL. Voting is too democratic for dictators, and those who enable a dictatorship- money, power, us versus them, lies, and a true disdain of freedom for all is what this current crop of Republican Justices prefer.

Oh, yeah and if their tipping the balance of voting doesn’t work, be prepared for Trump to suddenly declare Martial Law a few weeks before Tuesday, November 3, 2026!

 

 

 

 

 

 

One more permitted delusion

 “President Donald Trump has raised eyebrows with another bonkers post on his social media platform. Trump, 80, posted a mocked-up image on his Truth Social page on Sunday afternoon that shows him staring ominously across a portion of a globe showing the Northern Hemisphere. The globe is positioned so that Greenland is prominent. The bizarre caption on Trump’s image reads, “His Hemisphere.” (The Daily Beast).

This guy, TRUMP, projects and projects and projects his intentions, his guilt, and how well he lies. His narcissism is so malignant that the man cannot control himself in admitting just how much evil he has and wants to administer to the world. No one (well, now maybe Natalie Harp) is more important than he is, and he has zero boundaries about his need to be a God!

Those in his orbit care very little about the causes and effects of his actions, just as long as they too can maintain some kind of power. For his army of immoral clowns, nothing is too low or deviant for Trump to do or say, because as long as this lawless creep remains the boss, they too can easily rob and steal, abuse, and conspire!

As I see it, this is what is going down with the demented and delusional Trump. He thinks that Putin deserves Europe, that Xi deserves Asia, and he, Trump, deserves the Western Hemisphere. Trump loves authoritarians and breathes in the stench and rot of authoritarianism; that is why he kowtows and caters to the vilest of modern-day dictators. 

And as pathetic a human being as Trump, this man has been surrounded by Republican activists and judges on the Supreme Court, mealy-mouthed, spineless Republicans in Congress, who permitted him to rip Democracy to shreds and to dismantle any good that this nation of ours has ever done. 

 

 

 

 

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.
