  ‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country Trump administration policies slashing staffing and funding for public lands are waking a sleeping political giant in Montana Btw, Repubs all across the country, from farmers to those losing health care, are saying  THE SAME THING I didn’t vote for this crap!

  President   Donald Trump   and his team of advisers spend all day, every day, seeking adversaries to tangle with, so   they can assign blame for any problem in America   that Trump cannot or will not fix. The truth is never an obstacle when Team Trump feels an acute need to affix blame anywhere but on Team Trump. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt  demonstrated that yet again on Dec. 9  in the safest of spaces for her particular brand of prevarication – a televised interview  with right-wing broadcaster Newsmax . Leavitt touted what she called Trump bringing home " another huge win for our farmers " after he  backed off on his disastrous tariffs  in an October meeting with China's president, Xi Jinping, who agreed to resume the import of American soybeans and other agricultural products, after China quit buying them under the Biden administration. WTF? Who does she think she’s kidding?  China quit buying after Dotard put...

 Boss Hogg is bailing out his farmer base with TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS that ‘we the people’ paid in taxes/tariffs, just like the last time the incompetent asshole was in charge. See the pattern here? Trump takes office, imposes sweeping tariffs, sets off financial calamity for American farmers, uses American tax dollars to bandage that wound and then backs down on tariffs. Same old shit, thanks to the MAGA morons that elected the jackass.

 ‘A Few Good Men’, ‘The Princess Bride’ and many other great movies was killed in his home.  Such an intelligent, perceptive person, like most of us, couldn’t stand the asshole in the White House. Reiner, 78, repeatedly criticized Trump. During an MSNBC appearance in October, he said, "We have a year before this country becomes a full-on autocracy completely and democracy completely leaves us,"  according to The Hill .  He  told Variety  that Trump was "mentally unfit" for the presidency. "Donald Trump is the single-most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States," he said. Reiner's criticism has continued through this term. "Our Democracy is being taken away from us and we only have about a year," he said in an interview on MS NOW in October. "We're sliding downhill in a very, very fast way, and we have to find a way to stop it." Duh, ya think?

  Opinion - Polls: Trump is ending 2025 on a downward spiral Perhaps the happiest person to see the calendar flip to 2026 will be President Donald Trump. Indeed, having begun 2025 fresh off a historic election win, Trump figures to close the year with a steady erosion in his poll numbers, which are now the lowest point in either of his terms, at 36% and falling. Wow, who do thunk? 36% LIKE that LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, greedy, wannabe dictator? BTW, 36% is about the same number of clueless, gullible Americans who get their ‘news’ from the Republican Propaganda Network, FOX.

 There are SO many good/funny remarks about the ‘athletically challenged’ moron in the White House, when he was asked to do the coin FLIP at the Army/Navy game that you need to Google the results. Of course, it was the ‘best coin flip ever’, for Dotard and the MAGA morons, but check it out for yourself….

  The Trump administration brings a starkly different mind-set to the issue. Out with the Department of Defense;   back to the Department of War . Well-established rules of engagement have yielded to blowing up small boats on the high seas. In place of standing with Ukraine’s embattled democracy against Russia’s invasion, the administration has adopted a course of moral equivalence between the two sides while seeking profits from the war through   arms sales   and   mineral deals  and alienating our FORMER European allies. As for the kind of military alliance-building that typified American foreign policy for much of the 20th century, President Trump has reverted to threats of conquest more common in the 19th. And this is to say nothing of his efforts to deploy troops to American cities, impose political loyalty tests on senior officers or hamstring reporters at the Pentagon, on his way to establishing his own private army of well armed, overpaid ICE soldie...

 As if all of his other anti tourist policies aren’t hurting the tourism industry enough, as travel from Canada and Europe plummets, cuz they can’t stand the whole running our country. In what world does this bullshit make sense, you MAGA morons? Screw him and the sheep he rode in on, as hard working Americans are seeing the tourist industry go tits up, thanks to the jackass in the White House, who also killed the US farm system, and is now gonna spend BILLIONS, paying our farmers NOT to grow food, while millions STARVE across the world. Where’s Lee Harvey Oswald when we need him?

  The  Department of Homeland Security  is amending its immigration enforcement operations by moving away from raids targeting all illegal immigrants in the U.S. and focusing more on the ones who have committed serious offenses, according to a report. Sooo, we’re gonna have workers to plant and pick our food, clean our hotels, mow our lawns, build our houses and do all the other labor Americans won’t do? What a great idea. Screw you, Boss Hogg, AND you idiots who voted in the asshole.

  Abraham Lincoln,  tradition has it , said it more pithily: “You cannot fool all the people all the time.” BUT, you can fool the FOXNews morons, soooo, the jackass still has about 35% approval rating, cuz the gullible ignorant sheep don’t have a clue, as the asshole who leads them sinks like a lead balloon among the populace who get REAL news. Same old shit…..

 Cuz he’s found that, ‘the thicker the ankles, the better the balance.’

  The ban on the sale of American alcohol in Canadian provinces has had a “devastating effect” on the U.S. liquor industry, said Chris R. Swonger, the president and chief executive of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. Exports of American spirits to Canada  plunged by 85 percent  in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the same period a year earlier.

  “The most depressing thing about the United States in 2025 is that we’re led not just by bad people, but by unimpressive, dumb, totally noncreative, unqualified people,” Mr. Carlson said. Wow, even Tucker Carlson sees what’s happening…..

  The U.S. Department of Justice sued Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Thursday to demand that she release the state’s full voter registration list without any redactions. The lawsuit follows months of demands from the federal law enforcement agency for voter lists and registrations from Colorado and other states. President Donald Trump also has made repeated demands that the state release Tina Peters, the former county clerk convicted of felonies related to her pursuit of the president’s conspiracy theories about voter fraud, from serving a sentence in state prison. Colorado says NO. And I say, FU Trump.

  Trump grants 'pardon' to Tina Peters that doesn't free her from prison WASHINGTON ‒  President Donald Trump  issued what amounts to a symbolic "pardon" of  Tina Peters , a  former Republican county clerk  in Colorado imprisoned for letting someone access data from a secure voting system in an effort to prove baseless 2020 election denial conspiracies. Trump announced the "pardon" of Peters in a Dec. 11 post on X. However, Peters ‒ who remains the only Trump ally in prison for crimes related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election ‒ was convicted on state charges. Trump's pardon power as president only extends to federal charges, meaning Peters will remain in prison and her conviction stands.

  Trump says "prices are coming down." Here's what the data shows. President Trump delivered a message Tuesday evening aimed at the millions of Americans   struggling to afford daily necessities , saying his administration is   "crushing" inflation   and that "prices are coming down tremendously."  Economic data tells a different story. Prices have edged higher for much of Mr. Trump's first year back in the White House, with inflation  rising at an annual rate of over 3 %.  Inflation dipped to a low this year of 2.3% in April, but it has steadily risen since then.  Economists attribute the rise partly to the Trump administration's new  tariffs on imports , with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pointing to those levies as a key factor behind the recent uptick. Inflation now "is higher than earlier in the year as inflation for goods has picked up, reflecting the impact of tariffs," Powell said at a press conference on Wednesday. Wall...

  Trump’s face will replace images of national parks on some annual passes, environmental group sues to stop change

  MAGA, however, doesn’t want to be part of that world.  In fact,  it doesn’t want a world of democracy, civil liberties and the rule of law to exist .  The Trump administration has become especially hostile to Europe,  precisely because the Europeans are trying to hold on to the values that MAGA is trying to destroy at home. America itself is not yet lost. Many, and I believe most, Americans still believe in our foundational values of freedom and democracy.  For the time being power lies in the hands of people who hate those foundational values — and hate Europe because it still clings to those values. But we can still turn this around and claw our way back to being who we should be.

  Around 8 p.m., Democrats were declared winners of the Miami mayor’s race  for the first time in nearly 30 years , winning the race easily by 18 points. And before 9:30 p.m., the party also  flipped a Georgia state House district   Trump had carried by double digits last year. Hey Trumpies. Feel something slipping? Better get used to it, as your boy polls at 36%, and FALLING….

  WASHINGTON (AP) — President   Donald Trump   said Wednesday that the United States has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as   tensions mount with  the government of President Nicolás Maduro. Using U.S. forces to seize an oil tanker is incredibly unusual and marks the Trump administration’s latest push to increase pressure on Maduro, who has been  charged with narcoterrorism  in the United States. The U.S. has built up the largest military presence in the region in decades and launched a series of  deadly strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats  in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. The campaign is facing growing scrutiny from Congress. “We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually.” When asked what would happen to it, he said, “well, we keep it, I guess.” Yup, he’s gonna start a war, to ‘change the subject’.

  Viking Cruises  offers a 15-night "Malta, Morocco & the Mediterranean" itinerary, typically sailing from Barcelona, covering significant distances across the Med, hitting Corsica, Rome, Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Cadiz, Malaga and Morocco (Casablanca) before returning to Spain, with the total mileage likely around 2,000-3,000 nautical miles (or roughly 2,300-3,450 statute miles) for the entire loop, though specific mileages vary slightly by sailing, focusing more on cultural stops than raw distance.  

  As people made their way into the Indianapolis Union Station for a naturalization ceremony, federal officials stopped certain applicants and told them that they wouldn't be leaving the building with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who had already passed every step in the long naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance Dec. 9, 2025, to become citizens. A  federal directive handed down by U.S. Immigration and Customs Services on Dec. 2 , however, made that impossible for more than one third of people signed up for the Indianapolis ceremony. I would bet that every one of them could do better on a citizenship/US history test than the dipshit in the White House. And, ALL of our families were immigrants at one time… Screw you, Dotard.

  Trump’s Domestic Struggles are Making Foreign Leaders Nervous One question is whether he’ll take more risks outside America’s borders.

  RE: At State Dept., a Typeface Falls Victim in the War Against Woke ( NYT  - 12/9/25)   No, it’s not the  Onion .  And it’s not the  National Lampoon  either.  And it’s not April Fools’ Day.  The Trumpian culture war against “woke” has made it down to font types.  No offending “wokeism” is too small or too inconsequential for these rabid culture warriors to hunt down and destroy.   This level of overweening fanaticism is a signature hallmark of true authoritarians.  They need to pee on absolutely every fire hydrant in creation until their mania for dominance and control is satisfied.   And no, it’s not funny.  It’s frightening. The Trumpies decided a FONT was too woke….. At State Dept., a Typeface Falls Victim in the War Against Woke Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the Biden-era move to the sans serif typeface “woke” casting the return to Times New Roman as part of a push to stamp out diversity efforts.

 And then there’s silver…. My portfolio thanks you, Dotard.

  Commercial real estate deal volume drops for the first time in nearly two years October was the first month of negative year-over-year transaction volume growth in the sector in nearly two years, according to monthly data provided by Moody’s.

  “If China refused to give magnets, ’cause they have a monopoly on magnets, ... there wouldn’t be a car made in the entire world, there wouldn’t be a radio, there wouldn’t be a television, there wouldn’t be internet, there wouldn’t be anything because magnets are such a part —,” the president began. “Now, nobody knows what magnets are and not overly sophisticated but to build a magnet system would take two years.” He proceeded to talk up his “unbelievable deal” that “made peace” with China, and the MAGA morons congratulated themselves cuz their boy is soooo schmart….

 The jerk’s tariffs/taxes, paid by US citizens , NOT foreign sellers, which well over 90% of qualified economists agree are WRONG to impose, have cost the US and world economies TRILLIONS of dollars, cuz our boy in the White House thinks he should run a country like he did his businesses, which he BANKRUPTED continually. On Monday, Trump  announced a major aid package  to help farmers who have struggled under his trade war. Trump claimed making the payments “would not be possible” without the revenue brought in by his tariffs, even though his trade war has exacerbated the farmers’ financial troubles and has made distributing the aid necessary. Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly dismissed Americans’ concerns about the high cost of living as pure fiction.

 Just realize a low level, alleged drug smuggler hanging on to a damaged boat gets the death penalty, while a drug kingpin, convicted of smuggling TONS of drugs into the US gets a pardon, from the criminal Hypocrite in the White House. Welcome to Trumpworld, made possible by Rupert Murdoch, and his Propaganda Network, and the morons who believe FOXCrap.

 Just like FOXCrap, where all ‘news’ has to fit Dems BAD—Pubs GOOD to be shoveled to the gullible ignorant sheep. We inherited a total mess from the Biden administration,” Trump said Monday, opening a forum on his $12 billion  bailout for farmers . His own tariff war with China made the rescue necessary — but Trump blamed Biden for agriculture’s woes. It’s not just farms. Everything’s Biden’s fault, according to Trump, but if it’s good, it’s all because of him. And the sheep fall for this shit, as always….

  Mary Trump   on Monday broke down why she believes her uncle, President   Donald Trump , is just “so needy and so grasping.” The clinical psychologist and fierce critic of her relative explained on her “ Mary Trump Live ” show how she’s long put the president’s excessive seeking of validation down to the way he was treated by his father, Fred Trump, whom she described as a “patriarchal authoritarian sociopath.” But FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s  recent awarding  of the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize to the president made her think more about just why he’s so “thirsty” for recognition, she said. The “completely made-up and meaningless honor” was only given to Trump because he “cannot get the Nobel Peace Prize which he so desperately craves,” his niece argued. If the president “had any self-awareness at all” then he would feel “ashamed” and realize he’s being played and mocked, Mary Trump continued, before suggesting why he needs “even meaningless gestures like...

  Trump Promises Farmers $12 Billion to Blunt Fallout From His Trade War The federal aid comes after China boycotted American farm products in retaliation for U.S. tariffs. And, the dickhead still doesn’t even know WHO PAYS his stooopid tariffs. “We are making a lot of money from countries that took advantage of us for years,” Mr. Trump told farmers at the White House Monday.  Screw him and the sheep he rode in on.
