His NEW Enablers

 Trump seems to get away with grift, corruption, maybe rape of a minor (think about the inability to access all of the video from the FBI Epstein Files), perhaps even murder (one might wonder about his first wife, Ivana, suddenly falling down a set of stairs in her apartment days before she was to testify against Trump), because he has surrounded himself with willing enablers people from the Republican dominated Supreme Court, to the puppets posing as Republican politicians, the billionaire bros who base their morality and humanity on how much wealth they can accumulate, to the media insurrectionists at FOX. We know this, we witness this, and for many of us, we are pissed that THIS is even a thing.

However, at least for me, one of the most disgusting and self-serving enablers of Trump’s constant scam of the American people, and his profitable distribution of snake oil, comes from a group of people who, once again, as I see it, were supposed to be a part of the checks and balances of our Democracy…CORRESPONDENTS! 

We recently witnessed the White House Correspondents' Dinner, something I would usually not give a shit about, but this one was months after the original, where supposedly an assassination attempt had been planned against Trump. (And remember this, please: this so-called assassination was a hue and cry for why Trump needed his ballroom to keep himself safe and sound.) And once again, as Trump tried at the original dinner, he insulted and harassed the correspondents in attendance. (This time, as an aside, suddenly there was a plethora of Secret Service agents in attendance…I suppose you can only plan an assassination one time only).

Trump lied, as he only knows how to do; Trump demanded and insulted as he only knows how to; Trump pontificated about “FAKE NEWS,” as he always does, and YET, AND YET, knowing that lies and fabrication is all Trump is capable of, these CORRESPONDENTS still invited Trump, and sat there almost as willing idiots as Trump ranted and raved!

Why I give a shit about this IS the fact that once the JOURNALISTS/REPORTERS/ and CORRESPONDENTS provide access to a 34-count felon, a man found guilty of rape, a man found guilty of fraud, as if none of that matters, IS just one more example of normalizing a most abhorrent and criminal President. Is there nothing or no one that will finally say “SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

The last 4 don't count

 The Pentagon reduced the official death toll from the Iran war from 18 to 14 after removing four service members who were killed after President Trump declared a ceasefire in April. This change has raised questions about the transparency of casualty reporting during the ongoing conflict. (CNBC)

Please read the opening paragraph again. Read it, and if your blood pressure did not shoot up, then shame on you, because according to Trump, the 4 Troops who died, as in they no longer are alive, were just unfortunate collateral, and admitting that they died while serving during Trump’s Iran War would make Trump’s DEAD SOLDIERS TOTALS seem a little too ominous and odious.

Following the Trump/Hegseth philosophy if you are a member of the US Military, and died from any Iranian attack, but if you died during the time that Trump and Hegseth and even Rubio decided that the Iran War was not a war but a skirmish or some kind of so called ceasefire, your death was not that important, rather it was a bit too inconvenient to tame Trump’s lies and ego.

And remember this: Donald Trump reportedly referred to fallen soldiers as "losers" and "suckers" during his presidency, particularly mentioning the Marines who died at Belleau Wood and American casualties at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France. These comments were detailed in a 2020 article by The Atlantic.

So to the most recent service members who died during the Trump Iran War, Capt. Cody Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, Sgt. Declan Coady, and Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, my sincere gratitude for your service, and to your families my sincere apologies for having Trump in the position of Commander-In-Chief.

Two fer...

 Two tidbits- maybe tidbits are too kind a word to use- so I will, instead, say two AVOIDABLE, REPREHENSIBLE, and seemingly INTENTIONAL medical issues have arisen from within the Trump Reich. One of them alone should have been cause for alarm, but two of them at the same time should have American citizens demanding that Trump/RFK Jr./and Elon Musk be held accountable.

2025, with five more months of 2026 still to come. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention logged 2,318 cases of measles as of Thursday, according to an agency update on Friday. (AP, APnews.com)

As of mid-July 2026, nearly 7,000 cases of cyclosporiasis, which causes "explosive" diarrhea, have been reported across at least 34 states in the U.S. (Yahoo)

Trump is guilty of hiring Musk, who took it on his whims and wishes to eliminate staffing and budget cuts at the CDC, basing none of the DOGE cutbacks on fact or purpose. And Trump is guilty because he nominated RFK Jr. not based on Kennedy’s education in health and medical issues, but rather as “got you” to Democrats. And RFK Jr. should be reprimanded for relying on his own medical conspiracy theories and ignoring any medical facts.

The Trump Reich, with their bigots, racists, and misogynists at the helm, are doing their best to drag this country into the days of slavery and the years before the 19th Amendment was ratified; they have now added the bonus of dragging this nation into the era of the Plague. 

It is fucking 2026, and the Trump Reichstadt is in full mode to turn back time, not by days or years but decades and decades and decades. UNBELIEVABLE!

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. (zeteo.com)

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!
