Is Trump happy when people are at other's throats (like J6) and when armed, masked goons disappear people? Trump's grandfather was likely an illegal immigrant and Melania is an immigrant? Is this now the norm? In any event, here's a moment of zen. My Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees, ears back.
I've been thinking. The mindless, blood-thirsty thugs are in the White House. Who else would go to so much trouble to take peoples' healthcare and not give it another thought and ensure it happens the day after midterms?
Eff this going high when they go low. BS. Dirty politics and dirty tricks calls for the same kind of response. Retribution!
What an obnoxious windbag. The worst of New York.
Your moment of zen...
Bloodsucking, evil, uncivilized thugs? Was he talking about his administration and everything it touches?
I fear this is the beginning of the erosion of voting rights. It will be like in dictatorships; only one name on the ballot or president-for-life needs no elections. Trump seems very mortal. Will he simply appoint one of his kids the president?
Maybe. Except billionaires? But even his own MAGA members?
I am waiting for Trump to try a new, novel approach: "I never met him" or he could claim he forgot like Reagan did.
Notice now that house Republicans subpiena Clintons, DOJ and FBI officials in Epstein probe but all that needs to be done is to subpoena Trump. He knows more than anyone but he is pretending he doesn't and all this other stuff is smoke and mirrors. A distraction.
Takes a lot of energy to take from the poor and give to the rich.
He fired the person responsible for issuing jobs and economic indicators. Their fault it was not rosy enough. Gotta lie to keep Trump happy?
IMHO, cannot trust CBS News or Face the Nation or 60 Minutes. They are compromised and their objectivity is in question. The ownership is pro Trump and the network has already capitulated.
People who are decent, law-abiding people do not have to worry about the future but those with no conscience and no soul are evil.
It's Joe Biden's fault. ;)
Are we "great" yet?
You mean "Ronny Jackson"? ;)
I see all this ridiculousness and the fact that he says it with a straight face and I wonder...what did we do to deserve this? And he's a "businessman"? George W. Bush often seemed out of his element but he was not as intentionally mean and petty as DJT.
But at least we know the source of everything. Clinton, Obama and Biden. That's the old, tired refrain. Aren't people and MAGAs getting tired of the stale excuses? Besides, I think it is folly to expect those three to agree on anything.
More Trump delusions. He has Trump's Delusion Syndromes. Besides, gotta draw attention away from those pesky Epstein files - that don't exist.
Seems like Obama is the new Epstein.
We've lost track! His whole life is a lie.
I thought he might one day claim he never met him but dead men can't speak and they had a bromance. He'll likely offer Ghislaine a deal - sign an NDA and she'll get out. F**** News is falling in line and back to blaming Joe Biden for everything.
Must be talking about something else. Either that, or it's opposite day. He just needs to wipe the **** off his lips.
Here is today's moment of zen.
Maybe he is fading. He looks like an apparition.
Cancun Cruz needs to go already. Texas is turning blue and Trump only holds a 49% there so might be a chance.
It will be Biden's fault seemingly forever. Also, "election integrity" is the explanation for making it tougher to vote (because "we can't have a repeat of 2020"). OMG
Aren't eggs like 90% cheaper since #47 took over? ;)
Wow! What a bunch of unscrupulous conmen! Has DJT or Miller been conducting classes?
Karoline Leavitt says it's a great day for America but it's a sad day. But does Ms. Leavitt really believe it or thinks that by saying it, we will believe it? Maybe the same people who believed DJT on election day will be hoodwinked again. Pain and suffering is good? Whatever doesn't kill you?...
Your moment of Zen...
This big atrocity of a bill makes me sick. I am neither in the top nor the bottom but the middle and likely will be less affected (for now) by the cuts, reductions and outright eliminations. What this has done is to further increase the chasm between the haves and have nots. DJT is a tyrant.
Guess my dog has to go to work to help the family! Times are tough.
Someone called the atrocious, selfish, nasty, ugly, hateful bill a burial bill, because after all the people expected to be thrown off healthcare and many expected to face increased premiums and co-pays, the further disadvantaged will likely die, especially since rural hospitals will close.
Maybe this is a stupid question. I am watching USA Today's live coverage of this humungous bill and it seems like they have started with HR 566 which involves clean air andbeven though the voting ended an hour ago, they are still allowing people to vote.
There is always 2026!
I like the moniker Ice Barbie.
We each should call at least 1x a month.
Joni Ernst said everybody's going to die anyway, so why worry.
Last I checked, that's a red state. If that happened, maybe it would turn blue.
Seems like bombing Iran was compensation for an underwhelming military/birthday parade. It cannot be considered war because only congress can do that. Although if it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck...
Honestly, you can't trust a cheater/liar
What happened to the Tea Party? Did that morph into MAGA? What about Dixiecrats? This was before states went from blue to red (started in 1980).
Didn't his wife leave him for Musk the serial daddy?
True that.
My wife would agree but not sure anyone would vote for a prospective woman president. However, if a strong, credible woman were to run...
Remember that Trump invented the word "groceries". It's a funny word, says DJT.
Was he sleeping?
A story locally involved a student who encountered bears getting off the bus. I wonder how the bears got on the bus in the first place.
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you.
Might be deflecting or distracting. Maybe trying to play down the Epstein Files that he said he would release. Don't you believe it! Still waiting for the tax returns he has promised since 2016. But falsely claimed he was "under audit". Remember? Hillary and he at the debate. Bollocks!
He has always engaged in deflection and distraction. He is a student of Fred, Sr. and Roy Cohn and he learned all about the smokescreen.
I hate to say it but Stonewall and Kent State come to mind.
OMG! I just don't get it...even as Trump continues to flap his gums about deporting people responsible for drug trafficking, he is pardoning drug kingpins. Idk. Maybe as a fellow felon, he feels like he understands their plight. Or in Bizarro Trump World, maybe it makes perfect sense?
I lived in Billerica when I was newly born while the house was being built.
Yeah...We never liked him and how he would brag about every little thing (insecure much?) Maybe he did not get affirmation from Fred and Mary growing up. I remember he crowed frequently about the Wollman Rink in Central Park and owning a hotel as if buying something was akin to having some skill.
New fantastical fiction from the scrambled mind of DJT: Biden died a long time ago and we have been watching a Biden robot who has been masquerading as the real thing. Fantasmagorical what he is capable of creating.
Look at his smug, miserable face. What a horse's ass.
Ever since they featured DJT with a one-on-one (gross). Interview.
I heard he is a Jew-hating Jew.
Agreed. Let us eat cake.
I would be interested in whether this 747 deal was discussed beforehand. I know Trump is building a nightclub in the country.
Where can we buy this?
I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, and at 224/287 that's quite a corpulent order. :)
He might simply claim anything is an official duty.
Too bad most mega billionaires don't feel the same way.
Maybe they should reinstate debtor's prisons for those stubborn MAGA followers who could not bring themselves to listen (lord forbid) to who they call "liberals" and who have made that a dirty word. I feel like going back and saying "I told you so" but many don't talk to me any more. Ashamed?
And he would say: 1) your information is flawed (fake mews); 2) so what? 3) what are you going to do about it (I have immunity). What a classy guy.
Shopped for a wife/new wife that way. Like going down to the showroom to see it in person.
More inequity than before...Trump crowing on camera (out in the open) about him and his cronies snapping up stock bargains and literally flaunting his lawlessness and daring anyone to do anything. I am sure I wasn't the only one wishing Trump would have paid for his crimes. Disturbs and unsettles.
It is too bad we seem to have regressed to an earlier, more difficult time but the mid-terms are approaching. Unless DJT pulls some bs then the referendum will be upon us. And then the 2028 election and Trump and his cronies will be gone. Hopefully, just a painful memory we need to remember.
I would accept that and understand also that it is a badge of courage. If #45/#47 dislikes it, then things are moving in the right direction.
Do the MAGAs believe everything they're told? Even if they are so inclined, a pattern emerges where Trump rails against bad news. Nothing to the effect that it must be wrong but they are "criminals" and we can't tell the difference between hyperbole and actual info. Same with imfectious diseases.
Look: if tariffs are so terrific and because of them, everything (as in everything that matters, such as the billionaires) will be so much better, why is it so awful to let people know what the costs are? What people don't know can't hurt them, am I right? No disease outbreaks info either.
When you feel like you or pretty much anyone else could do a better job than what we have. (Thanks to the 1.5% who somehow thought electing an immature manchild was better than anybody else. Maybe someone with a conscience, soul, empathy instead of an individual who looks at people as expendable.
Tough noogies, DJT.
Is Corey Booker running again?
When DJT's dad was building properties, Ridgewood, Queens was his starting point and he would not sell to certain groups. He said Jews made good lawyers but he wouldn't want to sell to them. DJT likely has carried on the tradition.
It might be a pipe dream but not sure if Democrats take over the senate. If they did, another impeachment might have some real teeth.
Where did all this come from? Is there a MAGA script that all adherents follow?
The Incredible Bulk.
First term he did not use anesthesia for his colonoscopy at Reed Army Hospital. He might have been concerned about the 25th amendment and his vice president Pence.
So I thought it was unethical for a medical doctor to lie. Trump is apparently in perfect heath and he weighs 225 lbs. and is 6 foot 5". He usually has 3" lifts but he is NOT even 6 foot I don't think.
America used to be a reliable, dependable partner in the world and there were clear divisions and differences and good vs. evil but not so much any more.
Even the red states that put him over the top. How much does he care about a typical citizen? I knew he was a money-grubbing, manipulative, self-serving individual who couldn't care less about anybody, except for #1.
Don't do as I do; do as I say. ;)
So, i wonder when debtor's prisons will be making a comeback. What did Marie Antoinette say? Let them eat cake? Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The Incredible Bulk will turn 79 and his Nationalistic party will cost $94 million? Is that from all the savings from cancelling social programs?
So, besides all the other stuff, #47 committed insider trading for himself and his cronies. I lost $3000 in my IRA that I might never get back. The value went up during Joe Biden's term. There's people who talk about others and those adjectives describe them ("Crooked Hillary"; "Crooked Joe").
Yes! How arrogant of Trump to do whatever he feels like with no regard to legalities or ethical questions or how many lives he is ruining.
Hey...this administration seems like a work of fiction. The insiders seem like they either drank from the same batch of Kool-Aid or were there was mass-hypnosis. I just read that wants drone attacks on Mexico. Was he really considering invading Greenland? At least he is on a roll. 100% fail!
The debtors' prisons will need to be hastily constructed
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were accused, convicted and executed because of treason. Do today's house and senate members simply look the other way or would rather not make the hard choices?
As if...
Lab much?
Trump's been making a lot of noise about another term but the 22nd amendment rules it out. Since Trump was a student and protege' of the dastardly Roy Cohn who famously used distraction to cloud people's minds, you have to ask yourself: what is going on that Trump is trying to distract us from?
She became a persona non grata when she shot her dog and then Trump said that it proves she's tough. Plus, he will never admit it but he likes the younger women.
They all sold their souls to the devil and at some point, there will be a reckoning. 2026 cannot come quickly enough. What shape will the country be in by then?
I like that your posts advance the Knicks or your favorite Apple TV show Severance. I admire that you are keeping above the fray. I think writing about it helps people to deal with, however unbelievable it may be.
