The truth is a lie

 “When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies.” (‘Somebody To Love’-Darby R. Slick)

Trump Spirals as Iran Exposes His Lies About the Deal. Trump and his team keep claiming the agreement with Iran includes details it definitely doesn’t. (The New Republic)

There was never any truth to the matter, there was never any rational, reason, or rhyme, just a sad, sick, senile, malignant narcissist, insisting that he was King of the World and as such could and would and should do whatever pleases him for that moment.

“When the garden flowers, they are dead, yes, and your mind, your mind is so full of red.” (‘Somebody To Love’-Darby R. Slick)

Scrambling to avoid blame for Reflecting Pool fiasco, Trump’s defense turns farcical. The debacle has become a metaphor of sorts, but not the one the president had in mind. (MS NOW)

Never one to admit his own weaknesses, his own cowardice, his own failures, and seemingly always permitted by others to get away with ‘Murder’, Trump once again invents The Other, his go-to for blame, his go-to for denial, his go-to for his “Get Out of Jail Free Card.”

And so, sadly, for the rest of Americans who find the likes of Joe Rogan a useless tool, FOX a bunch of lying losers, and MAGA minions nothing more than self-loathing morons, Trump’s reality, which is far worse than an episode of The Twilight Zone, prevails. The Republicans in government understand they remain in power because their voters are primarily racists and bigots, and their hero is Trump, so these men and women look the other way enabling the demise and destruction of our democracy by a demented and dangerous douchebag! 

 

 

 

 

 

And we still permit him to do so

 Economist Paul Krugman discusses all the ways Trump is causing our country to deteriorate—and what it means that our country puts up with his worsening megalomania and desecrations of our republic. (The New Republic)

We obliterated Iran, we won the war, they have no military, and those darn uranium deposits are all gone. But then there was no war, we suddenly blockaded the already open Strait of Hormuz, which had already been opened, suddenly there were more ballistic missiles, and the really evil regime in Iran had some smart people.

The Rose Garden, replaced with the trashiness of a patio park resembling Mar-Lago. Bye-bye, East Wing, because it is no longer the People’s House but an extension of Mar-Lago, with all of the trashiness that gold-plated crap adds to help Trump’s ego.

No money for affordable health care, but tons of cash on hand to recreate the Roman Colosseum on the White House Lawn, which now looks like a Level 4 tornado hit it. Bye-bye, allies and NATO and Ukraine, and hello, Putin, Xi, and the rest of the dictators past and present. Killing cops is a good thing if you are doing so for Trump, and as long as you are paying the right price for pardons, no crime is heinous.

Now it is vandalism, not incompetence, that has destroyed the reflecting pool, and taking naps in the Oval Office is a habit. Call on Mike Johnson to let the House take a break whenever Trump feels his ego might get hurt, and of course, insist that pedophilia is not a concern.

2026, we the people, watch, worry, while the Republican majority in Congress, and the Republican majority of activist Judges in the Supreme Court, permit a demented, deteriorating self-loathing, senile, evil, man minus morals or values, play King, pretending that he and only he owns and operates the United States as a part of the Trump Properties.

Yes, Paul Krugman is very on target, very insightful, and knowing all of this, Trump remains permitted to destroy this nation and ruin the lives of anyone living in it who is not a billionaire.

"without me..."

 June 5, 2025.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk wrote on his social network, X.

“Such ingratitude,” he added.

The thing about malignant narcissists is that they cannot help themselves from disclosing even the nastiest of actions they have initiated or have been in cahoots with. Trump, for example, loves to project onto others the vile and vicious machinations he initiated or complied with, and for Trump, his admission of illegal activities even extends to calling people the kind of names he most assuredly understands he would be called for his own nefarious crimes. 

And of course, we have Elon, an immigrant to this nation who has used his wealth to undermine as much of our democracy as humanly possible. He cares very little for our Constitution, our rule of laws, and despises the idea that all men and women who are not billionaires might be equal under our Republic.

I mention this because ever since Trump SOMEHOW won his second term in office, he has done nothing but bash mail-in-voting as rigged. I truly believe, as is usually the case, Trump cannot help himself but brag that his election was rigged and he got away with it. And he realizes, without a little help from some of his tech-savvy bros, his Republican majority in Congress, who have yet to act upon the Epstein Files, the Trump Family Grifting, and the Trump War, might be removed from office by the voters if, in fact, no one intervenes with the voting machines.

Now back to Elon’s quote from June 2025, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election.” Seems a year ago, Elon was, as a malignant narcissist might wanted the world to know and his puppet Trump to understand, that maybe, just maybe Trumps second term was not the will of the people, but the efforts of just one very powerful person!

They ain't TRUTH TELLERS

 The same Trump Reich, which has delayed and tried to silence the Epstein Files, whose Acting Attorney General has tried to block anyone with the name of Trump from having any of their IRS returns made public or even scrutinized. The same Trump Klan, which told Americans that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic capabilities have been obliterated and obliterated again and again. The Same Trump Regime which now says the war in Iran only cost the American taxpayer $29 billion, and that the Ballroom would be paid by private funds. And the same Trump Empire that still declares that the 2020 election was rigged, NOW wants the courts and the American public to actually believe them as (TRUTH TELLERS) to believe that their illegal $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund is dead, and never to be resurrected!

The Trump administration refused to formally kill its nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund on Friday, declining to submit a court-requested sworn declaration to a federal judge acknowledging the program is dead. Instead, the Department of Justice continued to rely on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s congressional testimony that the administration is not moving forward with the fund. In a notice to the court, the DOJ wrote, “Such declarations are unnecessary and the compelled testimony of senior officials from the Executive Branch implicates serious separation of powers concerns.” (MS NOW)

I do not wear a sign that says, “I am with stupid!” I do not wear the Fascist Red Hat of MAGA, confirming I am a racist and a bigot. I do not want to buy a Bridge in Brooklyn. I believe in science. I am not proud to be as dumb as shit. BUT somehow, when it comes to the Trump Team of liars and cons, traitors and authoritarians, the selling of snake oil is still their top priority.

The Trump lies are no longer hidden or hinted at; they have become blatant and hit like a pie in the face. When is this Trump bull shit enough?

 

 

 

 

As they now say: FAFO

 FAFO. Fuck Around and Find Out!

“Some lawmakers that were once happy to brush off impulsive and disruptive behavior by saying they hadn’t seen the president’s social media posts or that it was just “Trump being Trump” are increasingly willing to speak out against what they view as bad decisions that undermine their ability to deliver legislative wins as the midterms approach.” (POLITICO)

Reading this article from POLITICO made me snicker, not necessarily out of pure humor, but more so out of pure KARMA.

The article is titled: Trump escalates his war on Senate Republicans — and senators are striking back. And if you read this article, you will discover and an inconvenient truth regarding the majority party in Congress, the Republicans, and that is none of them really cared when Trumps bigotry, racism, BS, and sheer selfishness hurt others, but now that the Midterms are nearer and nearer these self-serving Republicans are a bit worried about what’s in it for them…not or ever their constituents.

The Republican Politicians have acted as if the Trump stench doesn’t affect them. They lied for him, they feigned amnesia for him, they overlooked the Constitution for him, I believe, because most of these Republicans are not in the business of the people, but in the business of becoming powerful and wealthy. 

But alas alack, these Republican Senators who were busy buying plots of land inside Trump’s anal cavity, are realizing that having zero backbone, no spine, and in the case of the male Senators, no balls, has been noticed by their voters. So, of course, these Republican Senators, having given the middle finger to the Democratic principles of the United States, are realizing that kissing Trump’s ego ain’t really paying off for their own self-interests.

It is so common, so very evident, so many examples that no matter what allegiance you demonstrate for Trump, he gives nothing back in return, because malignant narcissist, one with no conscience, is always and will remain about what’s best for him. As they say FAFO!

 

 

where to begin

  Where to begin: President Donald Trump said Iran should be allowed to keep some ballistic missiles because other countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, possess them. (NYT)… Trump On Iran Deal: "What Am I Going To Do? Let Saudi Arabia Have Missiles, But They Can't?" (Real Politics)

President Trump has consistently stated that Iran must never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons and has expressed concerns about their ballistic missile capabilities. He emphasized that an Iranian regime armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would pose a dire threat to the United States. (Factcheck.org)

I wish I could say I am aghast, confused, irritated, and completely blindsided by Trump’s complete 360-degree and hypocritical messaging, but to say so would be me having to admit that I am a republican or a MAGA, and those two descriptions would be like admitting I was dumb as fuck, or in a Cult. And to top it all off, we now have the Vice President, Just Dance Vance, once again, as he licks the anal opening of Trump, declaring that Trump has made the most progress in taming the Iranian regime!

Imagine if FDR stood before the world and said, " It is only fair for Japan and Germany to have an atomic bomb, because the United States has one. 

Iran is victorious; they won the war that Trump, Vance, Rubio, and Hegseth started. Iran is victorious as the Republican majority in Congress looked the other way, preferring their primary elections as a priority over their constituents. 

And now once again, the Trump Reich and their accolades, and fellow domestic terrorists and republican Fascists, are selling more Snake Oil, hoping that the majority of voters who elected Trump to power in the first place, simply play dead and acquiesce, pretending that the real importance is to support their Racist and Bigoted King, Trump!

worse than before

 The greatest deal, EVER. The greatest deal EVER brought to you and me by the greatest deal maker EVER. The Earth is flat. The 2020 elections were rigged. I never knew Jeffrey Epstein. And now we have a memorandum of understanding, and since I am the boss of the world, I will decide whether to bomb them on their heads if they do not follow through.

I reopened the Strait after my actions had closed it. We now have a very smart regime in power in Iran, and I respect them. The Iranians will not charge a toll for ships to cruise through the Strait, but they might charge fees, which is not the same as tolls, and please do not remember that before I bombed Iran and demolished all of their nuclear arsenal and other ballistic weaponry, there was no toll or fee to transit through the Strait.

He is paying a ransom fee to the terrorists. (The Bulwark). He capitulated (Senator Mark Kelley). We are not offering the content of the Memorandum of Understanding because some of our Arab Gulf partners prefer to keep it secret, because it is some kind of Muslim thing. (Vice President JD Vance).

Billions of taxpayer dollars spent on Trump’s war, and now billions of dollars will be returned to Iran, even though about 27 times, Trump told the world that the US won the war. 13 Troops died, for what? Thousands of Iranians killed, for what? Almost 1300 Troops injured, maimed, and harmed, for what?

Trump declared war, but his majority party in Congress, the Republicans, did nothing to try to control this war. Consumer prices have risen, and Americans are out of savings and on-hand cash, for what? But Trump is proclaiming that after 47 years, he and he alone have stopped Iran in its tracks, something no other President has ever done before. 

Trump is a tired old man who gets bored easily and is quite dismayed when his imaginary scheming and con go awry. And what is left is something worse, MUCH WORSE, than we ever began with!
