Trump’s corruption and that of his administration is breathtaking. It’s aided and abetted by a cowardly Republican Party more than happy to look away, an oligarchy only interested in enriching themselves, an impotent Democratic Party and an indifferent citizenry unwilling to call for action.

JD Vance blames high gas prices on “tin-pot dictators” throwing tantrums and starting wars. The irony was completely lost on the Yale law school grad as he failed to mention Trump and his war.

Dotard Trump “… a lot of people don't know what incumbent means.” said the guy who didn’t know that dumb has a b in it. Translation: Someone just told me what incumbent means.

Anyone who think the US cannot direct Musk on Starlink as Rubio claims can’t be serious. The US government is one of SpaceX's largest and most vital customers, with public contracts accounting for roughly 20% of the company's total revenue in 2025. When the US tells Musk to jump, Musk asks how high?

Following a string of diplomatic initiatives by completely unqualified people, the White House will probably announce it’s sending Kai Trump, Donald’s oldest grandkid, to negotiate an end to the Sudanese Civil War. Her experience with sand traps will be invaluable in the desert country I guess.

Mike Johnson on Trump. “Every day he wants to keep America safe, and he wants to bring down the cost of living for every American. He thinks outside the box with creative ideas all the time, and he carefully evaluates those…” Mike’s head is so far up Trump’s ass his brain is starved of oxygen.

Trump could have struck a deal with Canada and acquired diesel fuel far more quickly without pouring billions into Russia and alienating our allies but he can’t do that because Canada is the new enemy, posing a bigger threat than Russia or China.

Kimberly Guilfoyle’s crime wasn’t the grift(s). It was not sharing the proceeds with Trump. If that had occurred, everyone would have looked the other way.

As I said 2 days ago, Katie Zacharia would be in the running for the shortest tenure of any WH press secretary in history. Sure enough the White House today announced her firing or as Fox News stated, she’s “transitioning out’. I don’t think her business cards are back from the printer yet.

Trump Donor Eric Deters sued Kimberly Guilfoyle and her lawyers for defamation and claims the information he has could bring down the entire administration and dash the political hopes of JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Susie Wiles. If that’s close to being true, the suit will never see a courtroom.

From the Party of Jesus and family values almost two weeks ago AL State Rep. Brett Easterbrook was arrested and accused of offering $500 for sex with someone he believed was a minor. AL political leaders have offered little public reaction and no prominent Republican has called on him to resign.

Can you imagine the conversation? White House staff: We need a press secretary, an imbecile, preferably blond, who has appeared on Fox and has a questionable moral compass. Someone who lacks any gravitas and will lie as easily as they breath. How about Katie Zacharia? She seems perfect.

I’m not sure whet the record for the shortest tenure of an American Press Secretary is but Katie Zacharia will surely be in the running.

Thanks to the Supreme Court, you can now buy an election if you have enough money. Elon Musk has thrown an amazing $366 million at groups backing GOP candidates ahead of the Nov. 3 elections for control of the House and Senate. This is a perversion of democracy and one day we are all going to lose.

Trump announces Russian / Ukraine “energy ceasefire.” Zelenskyy told Axios after Trump's announcement that the ceasefire "was news for me." Watch what the price of oil does tomorrow.

The FDA is proposing to expand a controversial loophole to allow some of the world’s most toxic chemicals to be added directly to food without a safety review. We don’t want anything that prevents corporations from earnings as much as possible. What could possibly go wrong?

I think it’s worth noting that the only countries that hold public executions are Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and North Korea. You are judged by the company you keep.

The Trump administration announced the suspension of key tech companies from the H-1B and J-1 visa system for using foreign workers to undercut U.S. wages and replace American employees. Solution? Pass a law requiring employers to pay equivalent wages to foreign foreign workers. Simple, huh?

Remember when Republicans criticized Biden for not pushing Beijing for full transparency into the Wuhan Institute and early COVID outbreak data? How he did not apply enough pressure on China to share patient data, lab records, and genetic sequences? How is Trump doing with Russia and their plague?

"Federal employees are entrusted with serving the American people, not themselves," AG Todd Blanche said after a former CIA official accused of stealing $40M in gold bars pled guilty. Todd does not have a problem with Trump administration employees enriching themselves as he looks the other way.

Whenever I see the word “humiliated” in a headline, I skip the article. Does anyone seriously think that Trump, his family or anyone in his administration is humiliated by their actions? They are not. If these people could feel humiliation they’d change their behavior. They don’t It’s all clickbait.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is under fire for an ad featuring a lazy young white guy as a poster child for getting a job and stop living off the government’s dime. Republicans are upset because the ad doesn’t feature a black guy. Missing are the corporations receiving Billions in government subsidies.

The commissioner of the TN Dep. of Correction has resigned after the state's botched execution attempt of Christa Pike. Gov. Bill Lee will… “pray God’s blessings over him in the days ahead” because some people are more deserving of God’s blessing than others I guess.

The mainstream media focuses obsessively on Natalie Harp only to report that attention around the president’s 35-year-old aide has grown considerably in recent months because the mainstream media focuses obsessively on her. 😳

Why won’t the press simply boycott Trump’s press conferences? Anything he has to say, he posts on his social media account anyway. His answers to the press are lies which the press happily report. The press is like oxygen to him. Cut off his supply.

Mike Johnson recently that developers, not Congress, are responsible for ensuring (AI) products are safe. That sounds great until the shit his the fan. When the power grid shuts down, then what? Ask Google to turn it back on? The problem is that no one understands how their AI works what it can do.

Nicole Saphier, Trump’s surgeon general nominee has investments in the tobacco co. Philip Morris as well as Monster Beverage Corp., Coca Cola Co. and Pepsi Co. She is also the founder of Drop Rx, which sells “physician-formulated” herbal supplements. Herbal supplements is code for junk supplements.

Former Kentucky Republican Gov. Matt Bevin was arrested for failing to provide financial documents in a child support case involving his adopted son. Bevin, a member of the party of family values and children was abandoned by his adoptive parents at an abusive residential facility in Jamaica. MAGA!

Trump promising to bribe every American adult to vote Republican to hold onto the House and Senate will only cost taxpayers $1.25 TRILLION if he succeeds. Not to worry though, Trump thinks it’s legal and doable.

Suddenly Trump intends on shoveling money to voters ahead of midterms. First he wants to buy votes by promising every U.S. adult $5,000 if he wins and now he’s promising a $500 Obamacare refund to cover overcharges to consumers in 30 states who do not receive premium subsidies, ie Republican states.

After failing to make any progress to end the Iraq war, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will now take their dog and pony show to Moscow and Kiev where they’ll fail to make any progress to end the war in Ukraine. Ironic that the US and Russia find themselves bogged down in wars of choose.

Trump says the federal government is spending so much on war, including the war in Iran, that it can’t afford programs like day care and health care. A $1.5 Trillion budget for defense spending but nothing for average Americans. Keep voting Republican and against your own self interest.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin suggested today 9/4 that he was working to restrict pregnant women from entering the U.S., and compared them to people with infectious diseases. This is how crazy there people are. I wonder if he’ll require women to pee on a stick when they arrive here?

I detest the Supreme Court. They’re simply a group of political hacks and ideologues who lie to a group of gullible and partisan senators during the confirmation process. They confirm the nominee and we’re stuck with them for life.

Anton Siluanov, the Russian finance minister, showed up to the G20 finance ministers meeting today. The finance ministers protested his presence with words and threatening to boycott a traditional group photo. They should have gotten on the next plane home but that requires a spine.

Trump dazzles Republicans and his MAGA minions with his sharpie by renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. He took particular pride in leaving out the “of.” This is what this petty and venal man is focused on.

Each day dozens of articles appear in every online publication telling us about widespread dissatisfaction with Trump and his terrible poll numbers and how this bodes ill for Republicans in November. Don’t believe it. Trump’s name will not appear on the ballot. People will not be voting against him.

As the world celebrates the life and philanthropy of Dolly Parton, it’s worth remembering that the Donald Trump Foundation was forced to dissolve and close because Trump and his kids were found to have used the charity as a personal slush fund and checkbook for personal, business, and political gain

For everyone who believed all the pundits who thought Darline Graham was toast in her SC race to replace her brother because of her lack of political experience is simply more proof that you should simply ignore pundits.

Kim Jung-un: “The whole of [the United States] mainland is within the range of our nuclear strike and the nuclear button is on my office desk all the time.” Trump: “I didn’t like the fact that we’re doing these massive military exercises really against North Korea”

Trump claims that joint military exercises with South Korea “send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile to North Korea.” He said North Korea "has been unthreatening and respectful" white he has been in the White House. This is how a clueless moron thinks.

Our Idiot and Chief claims he knows and has seen proof of children being vaccinated with serum in soda bottle size quantities. The dumb fuck failed to note whether it was a 1 or 2 liter size bottle of serum being injected into children. How does anyone not know he lies like he breaths?

Ya gotta love Christian’s and their support of Ken Paxton. He gave a lenient plea deal to a man charged with sexually abusing a boy. His wife is divorcing him for adultery, he was impeached for bribery and abuse of public trust, and he spent the 4th July with his mistress, a Christian influencer. 😂

Republican Christians are against adultery except their adultery or that of the political candidates they support. Then it’s a personal matter between them and their god.

The LA Lakers are being sold to Josh Kushner (brother of Jared) and Bob Iger for a record $12.5 Billion from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year for a then record $10 billion. That’s a 25% return in a year. Not bad.

GOP Senators Cassidy, Cornyn, and Tillis, bought into Todd Blanche’s promises to limit the scope of a different immunity for the president and voted for his nomination. Blanche has already issued entirely new legal protections for Trump as his first act as AG. Why can’t these people just die?

Dozens of studies involving millions of people have not found an established link between vaccines and autism but that doesn’t stop idiots with no scientific background or understanding to claim otherwise.

92 year old Republicans Chuck Grassley posted a tribute to his family vacuum, Beth, on X. Apparently his beloved vacuum has a short and he’s unaware that you can easily fix that. America can rest easy knowing that he votes on the leading technology issues of our day.
