Prophetic words, from Thomas Friedman

  President Trump is such an awful human being that just writing about him feels degrading. What president would denigrate his predecessor in front of China’s leader the way Trump   mocked Joe Biden , now suffering from cancer, by pointing out that a framed picture of an autopen was hanging in the White House instead of Biden’s portrait? Alas, though, when someone as morally warped as Trump — whose first secretary of state called him a  “moron ” — assumes this much unchecked power at the dawn of the Age of Artificial Intelligence, he can’t be ignored. Because right now Trump is leaving America exposed to dangerous viruses: digital, biological and diplomatic. Something bad is going to happen to us as a result. We and our children are going to pay for this, and not only at the gas pump. No truer words…

Wow, I wonder how many million there are…just like her?m

  Angry Trump Voter Says She Regrets Her Choice: 'I'm Pissed Off!' “He tells you one thing and does just the opposite,” the frustrated voter said. “I’m pissed off about the gas, the food prices, everything. It’s affected everything,” she said, adding that Americans should “feel sorry for the truck drivers that are trying to make a living.” During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump’s  biggest campaign promise  was to bring down soaring prices and the high cost of living that mounted during former President Joe Biden’s presidency. This key promise resonated with many voters and won Trump the election. But nearly two years into his second term, many Americans are tightening their purse strings even more than they ever did under Biden, and  millions are facing an affordability crisis . And Boss Hogg couldn’t care less…

Wow, who you MAGATS gonna believe? ‘Super-Mind’, or the LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, corrupt, incompetent, GREEDY wannabe dictator?

  Trump's New 'Super-Mind' AI Tool Says He Did, In Fact, Lose 2020 Election The artificial intelligence agent is designed to streamline Americans’ interactions with government services.

 You kiss the ring, or you’re GONE! Hegseth To Reduce Military Generals, Admirals By Up To 20%: Reports Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will soon announce a reduction in force of up to 20% of generals and admirals, according to reports from  Fox News  and  The Washington Post . The announcement could come as early as Wednesday, when Hegseth is set to meet with military officers in Quantico, Va. Fox News reported that some officers will be placed in downgraded positions rather than cut entirely. Since taking office in January 2025, Hegseth has pledged to transform military leadership and has already carried out numerous firings.

There’s an article about Trump in the new Rolling Stone, that everyone should read.

 My buddy Dave’s partial description includes: Trump sees the entire world as an endless opportunity to threaten to “burn it all down” (whether by arbitrary and punitive tariffs, obscenely frivolous lawsuits, bribery, blackmail or blunt force military action) unless he gets his way.  And an opportunity to get fabulously rich off the mobster’s omnivorous blackmail and graft in the process.  That’s why he so openly admires other mob bosses like Putin, Xi, Kim, Erdogan, Bukele, et al.  Those are his “fellow mobsters” who operate in a world absent any principles other than raw power.  A world that Trump sees as his oyster to be plundered and subverted to gratify his ego and fatten his wallet.   We no longer live in a democracy – or even in a teetering, exhausted republic.  We now live under the Black Hand of Trump’s “family business” - run by a ruthless and psychopathic mobster who sees the entire nation (not to mention the larger world) as his personal fi...

Welcome to the new economics, Republican style….who accuse the Dems of being Socialists….

New day, same old shit, with new lows….from even the hardcore red states.

  Trump is turning off lifelong Republican voters the GOP needs  Trump's disapproval rating is now 50% or worse in Florida, Iowa, Kentucky and Ohio. That's a brutal reality GOP candidates must navigate. 

Different day, same old headline.

  Trump's approval rating drops to new low in poll ahead of key midterms President Donald Trump's  approval rating reached a new low in  the Wall Street Journal's polling , marking the lowest approval for an incumbent president heading into the midterm elections among the outlet's decades of surveys. The poll, released over the weekend, found Trump’s approval rating at 37%, the lowest for a president leading into the midterms since the Wall Street Journal began polling in 1990, when former President George H.W. Bush was in office. Unbelievable….37%, (although most polls put him lower, and dropping), of the American public is made up of uninformed, misinformed FOXSheep. Sounds about right….

What? The lying POS, lied….AGAIN?

WASHINGTON ― After having claimed dozens of times during the spring and summer that his war against Iran was effectively over and that he had won it, President  Donald Trump  is now admitting that neither assertion was true. For the second time in as many days, Trump on Monday said his war that began seven months ago today is still ongoing. “We’re going to win that war very soon,” he told reporters during an Oval Office photo opportunity.

Wow, really crazy….I’ve known Tyler since he was a little kid.

  Deputies from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office arrested a former member of their department on Monday after he allegedly made a distress call to emergency dispatch overnight. Tyler Reilly is charged with shooting at multiple police cars outside the Broomfield police building and also firing a rifle at the Boulder sheriff's headquarters, where he was taken into custody. He allegedly went to the Broomfield Police Department first and fired bullets at parked police cruisers outside. After daybreak on Monday, some of those vehicles at the department, which is located at 7 Descombes Drive, could be seen with shattered windows and flat tires. Broomfield is outside of Boulder County and has its own police force. The sheriff's office says Reilly then traveled to the headquarters of the Boulder County Sheriff's Office at 5600 Flatiron Parkway in Boulder. A news release from the department says he had an AR‑15-style rifle and fired multiple shots at the front of the building...

Boss Hogg loves to talk about the stock market, which was at a record high when he inherited it from slow, old Joe, BUT he doesn’t mention the bond market, which more accurately predicts the future of US finance…..and I can see why.

Two of the worst liars of ALL TIME, George Santos and Donald Trump, are sticking together.

  George Santos' Dubious Excuse For Trump's Lies May Be The New 'Alternative Facts' The disgraced former congressman tried to justify the president’s constant fibs by saying, “How about this? Is it a lie, or is it a strategic, like, disruption of the matrix, right, as he just pulls stuff out of his ass.”

The LYING jerk lives in a fantasy world, inhabited by his uninformed, misinformed FOXSheep.

  ‘Delusional Fantasy Land’: Critics Rip Trump Over His Most Blatant Lie Yet The president doesn’t seem to know what Americans are facing in the supermarket right now. Critics are hitting President  Donald Trump  with a real-time price check after he insisted that the cost of common items, including groceries, is coming down. “With the exception of oil, which is lower than the Biden administration ― and we no longer have to worry about nuclear weapons with Iran because they’re wiped out ― but with the exception of oil, everything is going down, we have it going down,” he said to the media on Sunday night.

You gotta hand it to the corrupt, criminal conman. He has people talking about his illegal campaign ads, kicking out the media that tells the truth about him and his bullshit about demolishing the Kennedy Center….

 Instead of talking about his stoopid, illegal, expensive war that has us paying record prices for gas, diesel and food, as the bond market goes crazy cuz of upcoming INFLATION the jackass is causing. What a smooth, experienced CONMAN! Trump Vows To Keep Spending Money After Federal Funds Used For Political Ad President Donald Trump is vowing to keep spending money to get Republicans elected in the upcoming midterm elections  after a second political ad was released bearing a disclaimer that it was paid for with taxpayer money.

The Republican HYPOCRITES published a study that says 44% of Dems think it’s OK to use violence to remove Trump, and think the Dems are TERRIBLE and VIOLENT for their beliefs.

 BUT, the same jerks are in favor of the ACTUAL violence on Jan 6, to steal the election, by nearly 80%. Can you say HYPOCRITICAL JERKS? Study: 44% of Dems OK With Violence to Stop Trump A quarter of U.S. adults — including 44% of self-identified Democrats — support using force to prevent President Donald Trump from serving as president, according to new survey findings from political scientist Robert Pape. Pape also warned the midterms could trigger the worst political violence in decades and, in a worst-case scenario, become "the most violent election in American history.” BTW, add my name to that 44%…and let me know where to sign up, even though I’m NOT a Democrat.

Yahoo! The ‘out of touch with reality’ jackass keep’s asking people to vote like he’s on the ballot, when he’s at 33% approval, and dropping. And I’m ALL FOR IT!

  Trump to MAGA: Vote Like I'm on the Ballot President Donald Trump on Monday urged MAGA supporters to "pretend I am on the ballot" and turn out for the midterms as Republicans fight to preserve their congressional majorities.

Dotard is claiming nearly $250 billion in fraud savings, BUT, only $47 billion can be verified, because he FIRED all the independent Inspectors General, and replaced them with ‘yes men’, just like he did with his Labor Secretary when he didn’t like the (real) numbers.

  But given that Trump fired more than a dozen independent inspectors general (including Greenblatt) at the beginning of his second term and installed political allies in their place, “there’s no one that can look at those numbers in detail and share with the American people whether they are valid, transparent and that the methodology is sound,” he said, adding that there are many duplications, ‘promises’ of savings unverified savings and several savings from the Biden administration counted in the total.  Bottom line, less than 20 % of the ‘savings’ can actually be verified.

OF COURSE they’re illegal…and even fellow Pubs are calling the crooked jerk out on it.

 But, he doesn’t give a shit about ‘illegal’…. Never has, never will. As the White House expands a taxpayer-funded advertising campaign to promote  Donald Trump ’s political agenda before the  November midterm elections , US senator John Kennedy  told CBS News  on Sunday “there ought to be a rule” against such spending – before tacitly admitting such spending is “probably” illegal.

The jackass’ STOOPID war, tariffs and unpopular policies, like trying to demolish the Kennedy Center cuz he can’t slap his name on it, continue to drag the jerk lower.

  In the past week, he hit new lows for this term in a half-dozen polls, including  CNN/SSRS ,  NBC News ,  Reuters/Ipsos ,  Strength in Numbers/Verasight  and  American Research Group .  Various gimmicks — beef imports, a midterm convention, promises of $5000 checks — have flopped.  Polling experts agree,  “No president has gone into a midterm election this unpopular”, and his numbers continue to drop. The good news? He’s dragging his ass kissing minions down with him, as betting sites now have the Pubs losing the House AND the Senate. Yahoo!  Thanks, you LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, corrupt, incompetent, GREEDY wannabe dictator!

Wow, what a load of horseshit…as Boss Hogg and his minions seek to eliminate all media that reports the truth, replacing them with his handpicked manure spreaders.

    General Todd Blanche defended the White House’s decision to remove CNN from its scheduled TV pool duties aboard   Air Force One , citing national security concerns in an interview Sunday morning. Blanche’s Justice Department used the same reasoning in federal court last week to defend the White House’s prior restrictions on  CNN, MS NOW and Politico , which were barred from the White House grounds for nearly a week. The government’s argument failed to hold water with U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who ordered the White House to temporarily  reinstate  the outlets’ press credentials.

What Hegseth and the Trumpies are hiding.

  On Sept. 15, CBS News published a truly meaningful scoop.   It obtained pictures   of the extraordinary damage done to American aircraft and American bases by Iranian drones and missiles. The photographs were astonishing, because we had heard nothing about that extent of damage.  Over $5 billion, according to the Pentagon, which hadn’t been included in ‘war costs’, after Hegseth and pals had claimed the Iranian military had been destroyed.  “The images were sent to CBS News by active service members on condition of anonymity because of rigid media restrictions within the military.” As one deployed service member told CBS News: “This is major damage to our bases that hasn’t been communicated to the American public. We’re standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face.” The fact that these pictures were leaked by active service members is significant — more significant than many readers might realize, as the Pentagon continues to lie to the Amer...

Wow, these dumbasses(R) are FINALLY seeing reality?…when they see their unlimited access to the US Treasury may be slipping away?

  Some Republicans Issue a New Call on Trump’s War With Iran: End It Now As their midterm picture darkens, and gas and diesel prices soar, some Republicans who backed the war for months are now changing their tune.

Wow, as I’m watching Sunday football, I’m assaulted by Boss Hogg’s ugly face…

 Saying he’s gonna rid the government of warmongers (WTF?) and Communists, with a bunch of other Republican Propaganda/bullshit…and at the end of the Repub campaign commercial, I see: Paid for by the US Government  OMG, the jackass is using our tax dollars push his LYING campaign agenda? Just when you think the asshole can’t possibly get any worse, there’s another example of his lawlessness and total disregard for rules and regulations.

More and more Repubs are getting fed up with Boss Hogg’s bullshit….

  Sen.   John Kennedy   (R-La.) on Sunday ripped President   Donald Trump   over both   his taxpayer-funded “love me” ads   and efforts to rename buildings after him. Kennedy, in an appearance on CBS’ “ Face the Nation ,” was asked by host  Margaret Brennan  about  his criticism  of ex-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s $220 million ad push that prominently featured herself earlier this year. “I don’t think any public official, including President Trump or Kristi Noem or John Kennedy, should spend public money on private ads for themselves,” he said of the ads that have been dubbed  state propaganda . 'Back Stabber': Trump Boils Over GOP Lawmaker Who Broke With Him In Unhinged Repost Spree Trump, who once declared that the Republican “WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN,” did a 180 on his “complete and total endorsement” of the congresswoman, after she ripped his ICE thugs for arresting law abiding, tax paying workers.

Have you noticed that the tone deaf, out of touch Pubs just can’t ‘read the room?’

Media ban, flying furries: GOP's midterm messaging is a mess | Opinion People are shouting, 'Gas prices! Stupid war! Food prices! Health care costs!' And the Republican Party, weeks out from the midterms, is responding: 'What’s that? You want us to fight with the media, and get ‘furries’ out of the cockpit?’ A  Marist University poll released Sept. 23  found voters have more faith in Democrats to handle everything from the economy and gas prices to foreign policy and immigration, as overall approval ratings for the Trump administration dipped under 30% in many polls. That may be, in part, because pretty much everything has gotten measurably worse since Trump and the GOP took full control of the government. But another reason is that Democrats are focused on things voters care about, while Republicans are focused on banning media outlets they don’t like and, apparently, addressing the fabricated crisis of flying furries.
