another wrench

 SIX DAYS. And of course there is much to worry about. A whole to worry about exactly! Trump was asked if he would accept the results of the midterm elections:

“I will,” the president replied, indicating that he’d accept the election results, before quickly adding, “if they’re honest elections. “And who gets to decide whether the elections are “honest”? According to Trump, he does. (Maddow Blog)

Trump expands hunt for noncitizen voters with broad subpoena campaign before midterms

Courts blocked related voter-roll requests, but subpoenas offer another route to voter data

California officials said federal noncitizen list was unreliable

Critics said probes could fuel post-election challenges and undermine confidence in narrow results (Reuters).

If republicans win, then there is nothing to see here; if the Republicans lose, then of course there is plenty to see here and plenty for Trump to use to once again disrupt the sanctity of our democratic process. If the Dems lose and do not gain the majority, Trump believes he will not be up for prison, for criminal prosecution, and for impeachment. If the Dems even take control of one House of government, then Trump and the Legion of Doom DOJ and his Supreme Court Fascists will block and throw wrenches into the entire election process, and ya wanna bet it might take forever for the real will of the people to be heard!

My question is, and I am not being naïve about this, how does this nation, built on law and order and our Constitution, ever fight back and regain its true authority?

A little levity, maybe

President Donald Trump was interrupted by a heckler criticizing his controversial White House ballroom construction at a campaign rally ahead of the midterm elections.

A crowd member shouted at the president as he gave a speech on stage during a rally backing Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Corinth, Mississippi, on Oct. 26.

"Shove that ballroom up your fat a--," the person said.” (USA Today)

A blog of levity from me today: there is very little to laugh about, as I see it, regarding the upcoming Midterm elections in the United States- that is, if you really care about the future of democracy actually being saved. I grow more concerned each day, knowing that Trump does not want to lose power, does not want to go to jail, and does not want any truth about his decades of rape, pedophilia, theft, gifts, and perhaps being a Russian agent to ever be found out.

But at a rally in ruby-red Mississippi, a very brave heckler stood tall and shouted down Trump by saying, "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass!” My kind of hero, the kind of person who has had enough bull shit thrown his way, who is tired of wiping away the muck and mire of lies and corruption thrown at him by Trump and his enablers. 

Trump pretended that this disruption was caused by a paid Democrat worker hired to provoke the audience. Actually, Trump claimed that this guy was paid the going fee of $250 to do so. (Ya gotta wonder where Trump pulled out that number…um…maybe from the Republican Party playbook!

Oh yeah, Trump was stumped for Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, the person who, when asked about the high price of beef, replied, as a usual Trump acolyte might, by saying Too bad you are complaining about the cost of beef; do you prefer Iran have a nuclear weapon. And then, as most Republicans often do, she added, " Go find cheaper ways to eat protein! 

With seven days until we, as a nation, do or die, a little levity helps!

  

"Oink, oink"

 Donald Trump praises Nicki Minaj’s ‘beautiful ass’ during rally speech: ‘It’s hard to miss. (USA Today)

"By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before — Nicki Minaj," Trump said behind the lectern at Port Huron's McMorran Place Arena. "That's hard to miss." (USA Today)

There is just so much wrong with this scenario at a Trump/Republican Michigan rally. None of it should have come as any surprise, but all of it, unless you are a MAGA-Manosphere-Maggot, is something you come to expect and adore.

The MAGA men have demonstrated over and over again, ad nauseam, just how very emasculated they view themselves, and how fragile they view their own masculinity. From their enjoyment of supporting rapists, to their delight in ignoring male pedophiles, to their sheer pleasure in pushing back the rights of females, Trump and his colony of MAGA Men, go out of their way to portray themselves as real men, not afraid to rape, not afraid to be misogynists, and not afraid to act the pedophile.

Let’s be blunt, shall we? If you are a male and none of the Trump actions and statements make you want to puke, you are pure insecure men who think that bragging about hurting women makes your dick grow! And if you are a female MAGA, you are even more pathetic than your male counterpart, because you seem to find self-gratification in permitting the men in your life to treat you like shit!

 

SIGH!

 President Donald Trump has indicated he is considering issuing blanket pardons for members of his administration before the end of his term. President Donald Trump left the door open to pardons for White House staff and administration officials, telling reporters on Saturday that he would be “allowed” to grant them despite insisting he has not given the idea serious thought.

“Well, I haven’t thought of it, but I will tell you, it would be very unfair to go through what we went through for four years with the corrupt weaponization that took place,” Trump said when asked about pardons for administration personnel. (MSN).

The 34-count felon, the man found guilty of rape, the guy who still hasn’t permitted any more insight into his role in the Epstein pedophilia case, the creep continuously grifting and full of corruption, has the power to grant pardons for all of his cultists who, in their own right, have committed crimes against Americans.

Yeah, it clearly states that the president of the United States can grant an endless number of pardons without needing to explain or answer questions. A criminal can pardon his mob family of criminals, and the rest of us- those of us who try our hardest to obey the law must just sit back and watch.

Sigh. Sigh, that somehow a Felon can become president. Sigh, because as president, this sociopath can continue to break laws and encourage his staff to break laws. Sigh, because this piece of sheer slime sits in the most powerful governmental position on Earth, and he just gets away with crime after crime after crime!

 

it may never be over

As of Saturday 24 October 2026, there are 10 days until Election Day in US 2026 on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. That's 1 week and 3 days, 1 weekend, or 6 weekdays. And with each passing day, we the people are faced with more horrors from the Trump Reich, who hope to dismantle our democracy and replace it with a form of Fascism, Authoritarianism, and a permanent malaise to make certain that from Tuesday, November 3, 2026, America becomes another Russia, China, or North Korea.

A ‘coup’ in Congress? Democrats are gaming out a Jan. 3 nightmare. (San Francisco Chronicle)

Judge blocks Homeland Security election-related sweeps in Nevada. (reno gazette journal)

Trump says he ordered the Justice Department's lawsuit over Alaska's US Senate race…Democrats take legal action against Trump bid ‘to rig’ Alaska Senate race. (AP News).

Trump understands that he is a criminal. He has never faced consequences for his insidious and criminal actions, but suddenly, for once, he does see the walls closing in on him. Along with Trump, it is his army of traitors and almost the entire regime of Republicans who also realize that maybe once January 3, 2027 arrives, they too will finally be found out as the frauds that they are and the frauds, they intended to be.

On paper, and maybe in practice, there may be a blue wave arriving, but if Trump and his DOJ, and the Republican billionaire donors and, sadly, the Republican activist judges on the Supreme Court have anything to say about it, that huge blue wave may never, ever see the American shore. It ain’t over till it is OVER! 

How low

 “The video from GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign surfaced earlier this week and drew sharp rebukes from Democrats and several high-profile Republicans. Acton has been estranged from her mother since childhood, when her stepfather was charged with sexually abusing her. Acton’s mother stayed with her stepfather and left the state, and he died several decades ago.” (The Wall Street Journal)

By now, anyone with a conscience, a set of morals and ethics, who proudly lives by values, care, and empathy, has grown increasingly angry at Republican billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy’s foul, rotten ad against his opponent in Ohio.  Dirty politics has become as American as apple pie, but this low-life ad has not only made that apple pie poisonous but has also demonstrated the sheer fear the Republican Party is feeling, and the lengths to which they will go to destroy anything in their path for total control of our government.

Okay, even Republican leaders in Ohio have understood the offensive lies and bull shit regarding this ad, and they have actually gone on record to shout their dismay and disappointment with Vivek and his team. BUT LO AND BEHOLD, when it comes to TRUMP, this felon, rapist, had a whole different point of view, saying:

“At a midterm rally in Sioux City, Iowa, Thursday night, Trump said that Ramaswamy called him and asked for advice after facing calls to take down the ad. Trump said he told the Ohio gubernatorial candidate he was lucky and that, if it were him, he would keep running the ad. “So I told him, leave it up and look upstairs and say: ‘thank you, God, very much.” (The Wall Street Journal).

Of course, the dirtier and more rotten you can go, you can count on Trump to cheer you on to go lower and even more insidious. 

So here is the thingie, as I see it: Trump won’t change; his Republican hand-picked ass wipes won’t change, they live on slime, WILL THE OHIO REPUBLICANS vote for Vivek and continue spreading this virus, or will finally do the right thing!

 

 

 

Another MAGA God

 Elon Musk is trying to make himself more powerful than the government. From the war in Ukraine to elections in the U.S., never before in human history has a single private individual exercised such power. (MS NOW)

Well now, how about that, schock-a-roo, the immigrant Musk, the wealthiest man in the world, who lives in the United States, the guy who has become the first trillionaire, the man who bought and paid for at least half of the Trump 2024 campaign, the insecure man of the year who it is estimated to have spent 100’s of million dollars on the Republican Midterm campaigns, Trump’s go to guy to cut the throats of the American citizen, considers himself to be above and beyond the rules and regulations, the Constitution of the U.S and more powerful than the President of this nation.

Now, how could that possibly even happen? HA! Easily and right in front of our faces, without much difficulty, and with the blessings of almost each and every member of the Trump Administration, and the entirety of the politicians within the Republican Party. 

If your financial daddy, the financial keeper of your own self-serving interests, the man with the purse strings which happen to turn into puppet strings, decides to close his wallet and walk away from you, because you think he lacks morals and values, and you actually have some ethics and wish to speak out about it, Elon understands, as does any sort of drug dealer, that eventually, when you need a fix or two or three, you will immediately remain silent and run back to him for your fix! 

One more fanboy of Putin, Musk, who, it seems, hates democracy and freedom for anyone who is not Musk, is a money cartel master. Like the Devil, you make a deal, sell your soul, and pretend that payment will never be due. Trump thinks he is a King; Musk prefers the title of God…and there ain’t nobody with the power and position within the Republican Party to dare tell him NO!
