One SHOULD wonder

 “Russiagate” was real, according to none other than Donald Trump and his administration. Trump spent years dismissing allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election to aid his presidential campaign, labeling it a “hoax.” And yet, now his administration has, seemingly unwittingly, admitted that Russia sought to meddle in the 2020 election to boost his failed reelection bid.

FBI Director Kash Patel has planned a trip to Russia, making him the first FBI director to visit the country in 13 years, according to a Politico report on Monday. It's unclear if he will meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin or any of his top aides. The agenda for the visit was also unknown, sources told Politico. (rawstory.com)

Two headlines, how very interesting that both headlines have made it to the public eye, especially during a period of time in the United States, when the current President is clamoring about how the US elections are rigged whenever Trump or Trump's cronies fail to win the popular vote.

Russia was listening, was interfering, and it is in Russia’s best interests, especially that of Putin, for Russia to continue involving itself in what once was considered fair and democratic elections in the US.

Hmm. Keystone Kash traveling to Russia- why? The FBI Director flying off to visit Moscow, how come? Is he to broker the Russian/Ukraine War…is he a Senator or an elected official? Is he there to just spend time in some locker room and drink beer? Why now, as in 4 months until the Midterm elections, which, if the Democrats win the majority, will certainly put a lid on Trump's intentions to remain king? 

Trump is desperate to rig the elections! And now the FBI Director, the guy who is supposed to be the guy who maintains law and order in this nation, is visiting one of the most lawless nations in the world. One must wonder!

 

 

 

Yet, another worry

 “Last week, Donald Trump’s Justice Department sent teams of FBI agents to the private homes of at least four Times journalists who reported that during his recent trip to Turkey, the president’s new Qatari-gifted airplane had to be switched out due to security concerns, requiring a return flight on the original Air Force One. The story reportedly infuriated the president, who in May 2025 had gleefully accepted the plane as a “gift” from Qatar, despite obvious ethical and security concerns shared across partisan lines.” (New York Magazine)

The "What, me worry?" meme features Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot of Mad magazine, known for his carefree attitude and distinctive appearance. This phrase reflects a humorous, carefree approach to life's problems. (Wikipedia)

There is nothing carefree, not an ounce of humor, no iota of ignoring, the ONCE AGAIN Fascist and Authoritarian machinations initiated by Trump and instituted by his Injustice Department. Truth is an unhealthy aspect in the life of Trump, and for Trump and his orange-ass licker “brown shirts,” serving Trump’s every anti-democracy decision becomes more worrisome, more threatening, and more dangerous, towards the so-called life and liberty of Americans.

Be it the FBI or the Injustice Department, Trump is doing everything he can (and the Supreme Court has made it quite easy) to remove free speech and freedom of the press. Trump is as dumb as they come kind of shit, but the one thing Trump is quite wise about is exactly how many crimes he has committed, how many lies he has told. Trump relishes his grift, his con, and so far in his life he has gotten away with all of his insidious and heinous actions. Trump does not plan on losing his presidency, his power, or his freedom.

So, now, here we are, once again, as Fascism Trump style is moving in on denying journalists the ability to explain to the population how much snake oil has been produced and sold to the American people. Just one more Trump action to fear!

 

 

Only 18...MEH!

 After the American troops’ death toll rose to 18, Trump appeared to downplay criticism of the conflict, which he launched in February, by posting comparisons to the number of U.S. soldiers killed in wars launched by his predecessors. He first shared this list on his Truth Social platform. (BuzzFeed)

Demented, deranged, and dangerous DonOld has once again demonstrated how NOT PRO-LIFE he truly is. Those of us with morals and standards, intelligence and compassion knew from the very beginning that Trump is incapable of empathy or pity, but his gang of bigoted Republican so-called Christian Nationalists kept on pretending that their guy, just like the Jesus they worship, is the BEST-EVER pro-life president this nation has ever seen.

18 American Troops have died due to Trump’s Iran War. 18 individuals. 18 men and women who had long lives ahead of them to live and learn. 18 people with fathers, mothers, siblings, children, family, and friends. But for Trump, what is 18 lives? To be exact, what is 1 life, because it is not his life or his interest or his concern?

The audacity to brag that in other wars more Troops died, so meh on just 18 dying in his war. The audacity to brag that other Presidents and their Secretaries of Defense had more Troops die in those wars, so why even waste your time criticizing Trump’s war?

One more blatant example by Trump showcasing his aloofness, his carelessness, his pathetic disinterest in anyone or anything that is not Trump.

Hey MAGA, hey Evangelical Christians, hey all you who say Jesus has chosen Trump, what have you to say about this?

Chump Change and we are the CHUMPS

 Thanks to Trump’s Iran war, the Pentagon is almost broke. The U.S. military running out of money is as improbable as losing money when you run a casino; it just should not be possible. But it’s happening. Congress funds the Defense Department at increasingly higher levels every year, reaching nearly a trillion dollars in 2025. It is the agency with the largest discretionary spending by far; nothing really comes close. (MS NOW)

BUT… Pistol Pete has no time to worry about Trump’s costly war, which at the moment has no end in sight, because this insecure heterosexual male is more concerned about just how manly his toy soldiers will look and feel to the outside world. Because I assume if they are mucho macho then by osmosis, insecure Pete will be a real He-Man!

The U.S. military's plan to screen hundreds of thousands of troops for low testosterone each year is described as wasteful and costly, with no clear medical benefit for most service members. (celinegounder.com)

Trump has no concerns about spending taxpayer money. He most likely pays a very low percentage of his earnings into the economy, so it ain’t his cash being spent. Trump has too many taxpayer-funded grifting jobs to tend to worry about how things will get paid. He has redone the Lincoln reflecting pool three times; he has bulldozed the East Wing; he is still adamant about his Ballroom; he spent tons of cash on the Great State Fair; built an arena on the White House lawn; and then had to spend even more money on refurbishing that lawn. The drawings and God only knows the fee for planning his Great Arch are underway, and somehow the Qatari bribe (the new Air Force One) needed plenty of refinements and security, which of course is on the taxpayers' tab.

And now the USA, supposedly the greatest military force in the world, is running out of money, because no one, let me clear NO ONE, within the Trump Reich had the balls or backbone to inform both Trump and his homoerotic obsessed Secretary of War, Petey Hegseth, that without a plan, without a real mission statement, without any credible military expert to lead the way in or out of Iran, the Trump/Iran War is and will be nothing but a money pit!

But hey for Trump, it’s just chump change, and we the people are the chumps!

 

 

 

Trump and his Mutants

 Trump is frightening. An insecure narcissist, a con, a snake oil salesman, a convicted fraudster and rapist, and a man listed millions of times in the Epstein Files, Trump is someone to fear and loathe. Most people understand this, but way too many people are not voicing their opposition to this insidious creature, either by ignoring the thing living under the bed or by just existing with the monster in the closet.

But here is another awful truth. As disgusting and immoral and anti-democratic as Trump was, is, and will be, he has accumulated a plethora of smarter people than he, who crave the same heinous power to not make America great again but rather to drive our democracy to its demise, replacing it with religious bigotry and religious nationalism (which is a blatant form of Fascism).

All of this has been easily achieved by the Republican majority in Congress, the body of legislators who, by the laws of the US Constitution, should be the “checks and balances” of a criminally motivated Executive Branch and those who help commit the crimes.

The list of evil doers is great when it comes to Trump’s buddies, but one man in particular, Russell Vought, has gone so far as to ignore laws he does not think will help him win his Christian nationalist agenda, or just pretend that the words in the Constitution have a different meaning when it comes to his agenda.

As head of the White House Office of Management and Budget, Vought has a hand in how practically every tiny bud on the executive branch operates. With the possible exception of deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, Vought arguably has the firmest grip on the levers of power in Washington. While Trump’s focus is trained on a handful of obsessions, Vought has the knowledge and skill set to turn his Christian nationalist ideology into policy — and transform those policies into reality. (MS NOW)

Russell Vought is a key architect of Project 2025, which is a conservative plan aimed at overhauling the federal government, and he has been involved in drafting its policies and transition playbook. (ap.org)

Accordingly, Trump’s OMB director has insisted that the president is allowed to hold back, or “impound,” funds that he doesn’t want to spend despite the 1974 Impoundment Control Act and Supreme Court precedent saying otherwise. (MS NOW)

Unchallenged by the spineless Republicans in power, we the people can only watch as Vought pronounces this a Christian Sharia Nation, and step by step and inch by insidious inch, Vought remakes this nation into the United States of the Heritage Foundation. Trump is the originator of the parasites, and his mutants are infecting all of us!

 

 

We are watching...as somethings happening here

 “But you tell me over and over and over again my friend. Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.” (‘Eve of Destruction’/ E. F. Sloan)

Republicans back Trump’s legal theory to continue the Iran war without congressional approval. The Trump administration is arguing that the renewed conflict in Iran is legally distinct from the war that began in February because of a short-lived ceasefire. (MS NOW)

Of course, and once again, the Republican majority in Congress is quite happy to look the other way and pretend that Trump is a King, and as King, the rules and regulations laid out in the US Constitution have actually nothing at all to do with the demands, derangement, and dereliction of his duty. Afraid for their political lives, ONLY, and the welfare or well-being of, say, everyone in this nation, and while we are at it the welfare of the rest of the world, the Republicans once again bend at the knee for the service of a Mob Boss, who somehow still has ownership of the balls and backbone of almost 99% of the Republicans in Congress. 

There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear. There's a man with a gun over there. Telling me I got to beware. (‘Something’s Happening Here/Stephen Stills)

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured. ICE doesn’t share its violent incidents with the public. So here’s our list. (prospect.org)

Shoot, maybe murder, maybe maim, maybe miss, but INTENTIONALLY aim and fire. Wear a mask, do not wear a body cam, but claim what you are doing is in the name of the Federal Government, and pretend as you shoot and aim, you are a Patriot. Do all of these crimes in anonymity, because the only way you feel secure is to hide. Oh yeah you have the protection of the two Federal Agencies in AMERIKA, the DOJ, and the FBI which pretend to be the agencies who will obey the law, all the while pretending they are above the law.

Not afraid yet? Wait until it is your turn, because that is how Fascist Governments operate!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Male mayhem

 2 U.S. troops killed in Jordan and 1 missing after Iranian attacks, CENTCOM says. A senior Iranian official told MS NOW that the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran is “no longer valid” after days of fighting. (MS NOW)

Nothing to worry about, just a few more deaths and tons of casualties, but the real issue concerning Pistol Pete Hegseth is just how macho his male Troops are and exactly how low their T-cell count is!

The Trump Iran War is just so yesterday, the real priority for the Secretary of WAR, is that his BOYS in Uniform are rough, tough, and jacked enough, so Pistol Pete can demonstrate to the world that the American Military of He-Men, herculean in stature, examples of course of the kinda machismo male Pistol Pete yearns to be.

The billions of dollars a day that the Trump Iran War continues, causing death and destruction, has become too boring, taking too long, consuming too much PR time, from the real purpose of American military concerns, that of keeping the “sissies,” the “effeminate”, and lady men out of serving this nation. 

When insecure men, self-loathing males, and inadequate guys find themselves in positions of power, they fear that all of their own weaknesses will be discovered, and as the cowards they are, these dudes try their hardest to hide their own inadequacies.

And here we are, America, entrenched in a war with absolutely no plans, no exit strategies, just people leading the way, like Bone Spur Trump, and I Am Man, Hegseth, growing tired of the mess they started.  And, oh yeah, so far, the people in Congress who have the power to actually change the trajectory of this malicious machination sit quietly as more people die.
