Why do I feel like the oil tanker from Russia is some sort of Trojan horse, rigged by Putin and Trump to blow up in a U.S port refinery, and then blame Ukraine.

A garden hose is intended to convey water from your spigot to your garden. However, you can also beat the fuck out of someone with it. That seems to be Trumps understanding of Laws and norms.

I think Trump wants Democrats to win big in both houses of congress so he can squeal and whine about what a victim he is for the next two years.

I think Trump wants Republicans to lose badly in the midterms so he can claim to be "protecting America from the radical communist leftists agenda" all by himself with his veto pen. I'm curious how democrats would proceed without a super majority. Turning over rocks and bright, bleaching sunshine!

When I think of places that have public executions I also see judges and juries that are merely performative. The "state" expands the definition of what constitutes a crime and starts executing dissenters. Quiet fear ensues. Decades are lost to corrupt ideology. Hegseth can go fuck himself.

I think now would be a great time for Democratic politicians to stop asking for money and instead spend every day and every last penny in their current war chest, seeking out crowded random places and speaking their mind. I believe people will stop and listen. The stakes are that high.

AI at work is like the fuckwit sycophant douchebag your CEO met at an ayahuasca retreat and decided to make them head of your department because they "share a vision". The best workers flee along with the loyal customers but the AI creates a magnificent pivot chart and, voila, forward disruptor!

Over the past 20 years everything I want or need has become much more expensive than inflation or tariffs alone can explain. The people, the workers who actually produce the goods or perform the service, aren't making more. It's all going to private equity. It's like an extra tax. An executive tax.

I believe the corruption we know about around the Trump administration is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe they've amassed vast wealth and hidden it in corrupt hiding places around the world. Creating chaos by crashing our government and economy doesn't seem accidental. It seems opportunistic

I think Trump supporters have confused "fighting like Hell and never giving up" with relentless sabotage

The republican party could have inoculated itself against the MAGA disease if it had created its own version of the "woke" vaccine. Instead it followed the advice of the disease and is now dying from a completely preventable plague. If it survives it will be forever weakened.

Im not easily rattled or intimidated. I've frustrated many a bully. I am also keenly aware of when someone is attempting to bully, intimidated or terrorize me or others. The extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist MAGA Republicans are terrorizing people who aren't them. They're terrorists.

When I was a kid we had 8 track tapes in the car and it was mostly country music. That's where I first heard Dolly Parton. She's a part of the soundtrack in my head. Thank you Dolly

I hate to repeat back Republicans what they said to all us "woke" liberals but... Republicans! Sit you dumb ass down! Shut your stupid mealy mouth! Get the fuck out of the way so we can fix everything you've horribly fucked up!

Would Elon Musk, with his wealth, global connections to totalitarian regimes and penchant for bizarre beliefs, be willing to experiment on prisoners for something like "neurolink"? I think he and other ultra wealthy oligarch weirdos would do stuff like that.

Guys like Trump, and there's a lot of them in the Republican party, can't imagine broadly beneficial economic policy. They can only imagine the wants of the rich and ignore everyone else. They also can't manage or reduce the deficit. They can only explode it. Only Democrats have ever done that.

Somebody must know the identities of all the masked ICE agents. They're like the terror army of an industrial, for profit, private prison complex that's been allowed fester in this country. Something that heinous doesn't just disband after all the immigrants have been rounded up. Bellingcat?

Brilliant! Yes, eliminate the interest on my student loans and have all the interest I've paid so far go to the principal instead. I think there'd be leftover owed me but I'll be generous and only ask for 2/3 that it back. Fair?

They might not find any dead hookers among the skeletons in Lindsay Grahams closet but someone really should let that live boy out of the trunk of his car

Despite his griping about and attempts to stop mail in voting, when a race gets called early against Trump or his candidates because of overwhelming numbers, he'll be the first to cry "we have to wait for all the mail in ballots to be counted"

I think it would be great if the Democratic party could embrace the DSA or at least not distance itself from it while simultaneously saddling the GOP with communism like authoritarianism and corruption

If Im not mistaken, I think the DSA can also strongly condemn communism.

Republicans can't call Democrats a bunch of pedophile sex traffickers anymore because that's proven to be "problematic" for them so they're pivoting to calling them anti capitalists commie infiltrators, which is also problematic for them since they represent autocracy and oligarchy and elite grift.

Did Trump's "pool guy" get the no-bid conract for the reflecting pool because he has something on Trump? Did one of the pool guys rivals sabotage the pool or did a time pressed worker drag a heavy piece of equipment along the edge of the pool during finishing and fuck it up?

On my side of the political spectrum "the left" I see all kinds of diversity. Sure, some are annoying to me but I can't and won't distance myself from them. What I see on the right are Neo-nazis and extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist and they can't distance themselves from that.

The Republicans are desperatly latching on to the communist red scare thing about Democratic Socialism. The problem for them is, they look way more like communist when they trying to rewrite history and blast out self aggrandizing propaganda void of facts and truth.

What was Trump trying to "cover up" when he brought and stored all those classified documents to Mara-Lago? Also, what's in that 2nd volume of Jack Smiths investigation? Also, can Judge Cannon be jailed for collusion with the Trump regime when he gets ousted?

It's too hot, dry and stupid right now to really enjoy pyrotechnics. However, it's perfect conditions for written fireworks. Everytime I post here feels like a bottle rocket, launched the marching fascists. Wrrrrrzzzz... Pop!

Right now, the Republican party, especially MAGA doesn't represent freedom or democracy or The Constitution or Bill of Rights or any uniquely good "American values". They've cherry picked those things to create a convoluted, incoherent, cult like, fascist movement.

Mitch McConnell, Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump. Ugh, someone get a plunger to unclog the toilet.

I think it would be awesome if all of the continent of North America, from the Panama Canal to Northern Canada, had universal Healthcare

If the Slave America Act gets passed what happens if I show up to vote in red state with my birth from a blue state they don't like and I don't have a driver's license or passport? Would I get denied my right to vote? Would everyone have to register to vote in their place of birth?

Of course Trump wouldn't sign a bill to curb abuse by corporate landlords. Them's his friends.

To Republicans: If your favorite football team only wins because you, their biggest fan, has somehow rewritten the rules to forbid the other team from winning, no matter how bad your team sucks then no one wins. Everyone loses. Especially you.

Swingin' dick real-estate developers, like Trump, often ruin everything they touch and squirm away relatively unscathed and richer leaving everyone else to suffer the consequences. Like many other people, I've been on the shit end of that stick. I'd love to see Trump held accountable for all of it.

I wonder what fuckery Trump's old buddy Paul Manafort is up to these days? He was cozy with all the kleptocrats on the far right in Eastern Europe. Unrelatedly... Are any of Trump's family or friends hanging out in Eastern Europe these days?

Gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson is beating the tired old tax cut drum again. Sure, you'll likely get a one time $300-$500 break,as promised, but what it's really about is the $30,000,000-$50,000,000 break he and those like him will get while eliminating any benefits to the rest of society.

Rick Jackson, the Georgia republican nominee for Governor, is just another billionaire tyrant. His ads already touted that doesn't owe anyone anything, including Georgians, and he'll "deport or depart" anyone who doesn't align with his narrow world view.

Working class people living paycheck to paycheck should have a meeting with billionaires to discuss solutions to income inequality and societal problems. Then Working class people should have a second meeting without them to totally convolute or ignore their input. just like they would.

Of course Trump, and the billionaire Epstein class, loves the inflation. It weakens everyone else, making it easier to strip them of their assets and equity for pennies on the dollar when he intentionally causes a major recession. Sort of like 2008, but intentionally.

I think if insider trading can be identified, after the fact, but can't be stopped for some lack of will on the part of legislators then 85% of the gains should be disbursed to the public or taxed at that rate. Insiders getting to keep 15% is a pretty decent incentive fee for 10 seconds of work.

Trump and his enablers have created an atmosphere of gluttony, greed and chaos around themselves and they're shocked when it comes back on them. They don't give a damn about stability for the rest of us because they are personally profiting off the chaos. I want them prosecuted as we rebuild.

Trump seems to be casting about frantically for a very specific amount, $10,000,000,000. It makes me wonder if its to keep one of his other schemes, crypto perhaps?, from imploding and wiping out the rest of his supposed wealth. Like a massive bailout for another one of his failed "businesses".

I DON'T believe any Jan 6 rioters will see much more than a token amount from the $1.8 Billion "whatever" fund. I DO believe the lions share will go to obscenely wealthy close ally's, and family, of Trump who will then pay Trump some form of kickback.

I don't do the prediction market thing but I predict the Trump chaos will reach a crescendo around July 4. Then, over the following 4 or 5 months, all his perverse, corrupt schemes will come crashing down on his head and he and MAGAmania will start to fall apart and fizzle out. Then...the hangover.

It seems like Trump's wealth is doubling about every 6 months during his second term in office. I think that means, if that trend continues, he'll abscond with about 512 billion dollars by the end of his term. That is worth a great deal more scrutiny.

I don't do the prediction market thing but if I did I would put a few bucks on Trump inviting Putin or Orban or some other autocratic fuckface to The White House to watch his gladiator distraction games this summer on 250th anniversary of our great democracy, that he plundering.

I think the Epstein stuff the Trump administration is most concerned with, more than even the kinky rape stuff, is the stuff that portrays him as a truly, complete useful idiot for Epstein and his handlers.

------GOP Diner Menu------ #47: THE SHIT SANWICH One big, overcooked, 1980's style, nostalgia bullshit patty with slice of orange cheese product, wilted lettuce and mealy tomato between two soggy white bread buns with a side of chewy tallow fries and a flacid pickle. Chefs Kiss! 86 menu item #47!

Trump/MAGA climbed up a hill and pushed a boulder down at the liberal houses in the village. It started a landslide that now threatens the whole village, even the conservative houses. I hope they get crushed trying to stop it but they'll probably just shrug and try to walk away. Jail awaits them.
