trickle down for real

 More than 2 million federal employees face a looming deadline: By midnight Eastern time on Thursday, they must decide whether to accept a "deferred resignation" offer from the Trump administration. If workers accept, according to a White House plan, they would continue getting paid through September but would be excused from reporting for duty. But if they opt to keep their jobs, they could get fired. (CBS News)

 

The Fuhrer and his Owner both gleefully pretend that the government workforce is the valid reason for the American deficiency. They use the word BEAUROCRATS, knowing full well that the MAGA base has no idea of the true meaning of the word BEAUROCRTAT, thinking instead that it must mean Communist or Socialist. And of course or should it be BUT of course, these same ignorant as shit MAGA presume that firing those Communist Socialist BEAUROCRATS, will have no impact on their lives; and magically make their lives better!

 

Counting on the low IQ’s of the MAGA and the very HIGH bigotry, bogus bull shit and stupidity of the MAGA, Trump and President Musk will gladly play with the lives of millions of Americans as if they were like slaves during the Confederacy or Jews during the NAZI regime. 

 

Unemployment will rise, lives will be ruined and all of that will not be restricted to the fired Federal Workers, because unlike Regans “Trickle Down Economy” theory, which only trickled up, this time it will be the MAGA on food stamps, the MAGA on welfare, the MAGA on social security, the MAGA in flood-prone areas, or tornadoes prone areas who will reap the benefits of billionaires playing GOD!                                   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOORMATS

  

The Doormat Congress: Republicans react to Trump’s overreach with shrugs. (GOP lawmakers are now bending the knee — to Elon Musk.

Elon Musk’s actions could be violating the Constitution. Many Republican lawmakers are shrugging. Steve Benen/MSNBC)

 

How fucking frustrating, how horrendously horrifying, how SO REPUBLICAN, and the people who vote for them. Ever since my parents worked for Adlai Stevenson ‘s second run to become President way back in 1956, I somehow had become a political junkie.

 

My parents would discuss how democracy was as valuable as the air we breathed and how democracy could only survive from its roots, which in political terms was called “THE GRASS ROOTS”, as in the people and their pursuit of truth and justice. Somehow, I had this sense that maybe I COULD MAKE CHANGE, as in me being just an ordinary citizen. 

 

I still feel an obligation to save democracy to keep freedom alive, to aid the underdog, to right the wrongs, to do the right thing and to fucking ACT UP, BE LOUD, and swear, NEVER AGAIN.

 

This time in the year 2025, I am however terrified that the Republican Monster has grown to proportions of such enormity that, it will be uncontrollable uncontainable! People say wait until the Mid Term elections, and my response is what Mid-Term elections…because a few months before they are to happen, TRUMP/MUSK with declare MARTIAL LAW.

 

And then to make peace with my churning and tuning mind, I recall the story of David and Goliath, and how a small stone could change the world's fate!

HELP- SOS

 America’s constitutional crisis could come to a head in four months

How Donald Trump and Elon Musk could use a debt ceiling breach to usurp Congress’s power. (VOX)

 

Dear Senators Warren and Marky of MA, the state in which I reside, and vote, I am fucking sick and tired of living one more day in a Trump world filled with Fascism, Tyranny, Anti-Democracy actions, and watching as you and the rest of your Democrat Senators, seem to do absolutely nothing to stop this madness.

 

Dear Senator Schumer, you are the minority leader, yet you seem as incompetent as you were when you were the majority leader. Stutter, stammer, hesitate, acquiesce, are the only qualities you seem to bring to the table as you watch Trump’s fascist march to the sea, or in this case his march to the Potamic River.    

 

 Representative Hakeem Jeffries’ (latest message deserves GOP leaders’ attention

As Democrats grow more assertive in combatting Donald Trump’s abuses, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent Republicans an important message.) Thank you for seemingly being the only Democrat with any authority to find a sound, a backbone, and in your case balls, to fight back, act up, and be loud.

 

I am petrified by the swift actions of AUTHORATARIANISM taken by Trump and your, Senator Markey Warren and Schumer’s lack of doing anything, almost anything at all about it.

 

SOS-HELP!

IMPLOSION!

 Donald Trump is an empty vessel when it comes to intelligence. However, he is a loaded cargo ship and destroyer when it comes to getting, even being evil and taking what he wants. 

 

Elon Musk is a sick, narcissistic, wannabe tyrant who believes that nobody is of the same caliber as he. Elon Musk is a nuclear-powered submarine ready to strike anyone, and anything Elon believes is threatening. And he is a pathetic, sad sack, an insecure piece of waste. Musk will do anything to remove any perceived enemy.

 

Both men can run this county amuck as if they were steering the TITANIC! Both men have courted the Wall Street Bankers, the Silicon Valley Tech Bros, and the 1% of the wealthy who would see the peasants (as in anyone but themselves) eat cake, stale cake at that, and nothing else!

 

Just watching both degenerates pretending that somehow they have balls of steel and penis the size of Sequoia Trees huff and puff, thinking they exude TESTOSTERONE is both bits of shock and awe (in a bad way) and burlesque (also in a bad way!)

 

If anything, and I hope I am correct, the tug of war for dominance will wane for a while until, and I hope I am correct, both men implode. The only problem with that is that JD (I could give a fuck about anyone but me) Vance becomes the new combination of Trump and Musk!

 

SERIOUSLY

 I’m a pediatrician. When parents attack me for suggesting vaccines, I fume at RFK Jr.

The flames of vaccine hesitancy have been stoked to a bonfire by fictitious stories by self-serving people like the nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services. (Opinion/MSNBC)

 

As I read articles like this regarding parents’ distrust of vaccines and medicine, I must wonder how these parents who, as children, received the same vaccines and medicine actually can look at themselves in the mirror and wonder how come they haven't died, how come I haven't been sick.

 

Seriously, these adults would not be able to be alive now had most of them not been provided with vaccines and medical care when they were children. So somehow, whatever medical advice and procedures they had received are no longer good enough for their children.

 

Just because biologically, there is a sperm and an egg does not translate into men and a woman is capable, responsible, and mentally able to parent children

more snake oil

 Trump has perfected the art of look over there, look what I can do, and look how I can do it without ever doing ONE fucking thing.

 

Trump is huffing and puffing regarding his so-called tariffs. He is wearing his Superman Cape, and it's hoping that his minions will worship him even more as he tells Canada and Mexico how subservient they are to the United States and, in particular, to King Donald.

 

Most likely, the Canadians and the Mexicans will acquiesce a slight bit, and Trump will then emphasize that both leaders of those nations were cowards and frightened by the power and the glory of Trump.

 

No matter the response from Canada or Mexico, Trump will seize upon the willingness of those two nations to try and find a compromise that is a pure, clean, clear victory for Trump and his authority.

 

The real deal will take place with China. One must wonder if there will be a compromise due to Ivanka wanting more trademarks, Jared wanting more billions, or Trump wanting more gifts and grafts. All Trump is bluff, bluster a façade, and a self-serving narcissist.

ME, and only ME

 A Physician walks into a room alongside a US vet. Both people are draped in the American flag thinking, thinking they are patriots and doing the people's work. Both people are nothing more than a facade their exterior is all red, white, and blue, and their interior is full of selfishness and self-serving.

 

Bill Cassidy’s decision on RFK Jr. could jeopardize his Senate career.

As a doctor, Cassidy is troubled by RFK Jr. As a politician, he has reason to support him anyway. (POLITICO)

 

'MAGA nation is watching': Joni Ernst's vote for Hegseth underscore's Trump's grip on GOP. When U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst announced this week she will vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as the nation’s next secretary of defense, it underlined President-elect Donald Trump’s immense sway over Congress and the grassroots in Iowa as he returns to the White House. (Des Moines Register)

 

Both Joni Ernst and Bill Cassidy demonstrated just how ugly politics can be when the only people who win in politics are politicians placing themselves above their constituents. Bill Cassidy is a physician, and he's going to support a snake oil salesman like RFK Jr. Joni Ernst is a female vet eager to support someone who says women should not serve in the military. It makes the military too woke.

 

Both Joni Ernst and Bill Cassidy are shams, shameful, and sinister, and neither one has the interest or the welfare of this nation as a priority. But the new normal is MAGA and the the new worship is the MAGA King Donold!
