“‘Donnyland’? Ukraine Proposes Renaming Part of the Donbas in Trump’s Honor.” (NY Times)
Everyone knows the rule: flatter, praise, give him an award (or a plane), or help him get richer…
A new option is now available: name a piece of land after him..
“Trump Administration to Begin Refunding $166 Billion in Tariffs”
When Trump said that foreign nations would pay the tariffs, he lied. That’s sad. The fact that so many of his followers believed him is sadder. What’s sadder still? His infatuated followers couldn’t care less that he lied, and that he lies about so much else.
A personality cult is a situation where a public figure—usually a political leader—receives excessive adoration and unquestioning loyalty that is deliberately promoted through propaganda, media control, and symbolic displays.
Brooks Potteiger, an evangelical pastor who is Hegseth’s spiritual adviser, wants U.S. Rep. James Talarico to die by crucifixion…
It’s interesting when a “Christian” aspires to be a 21st century version of Pontius Pilate.
“Trump, Who Calls Mail-in Voting ‘Cheating,’ Just Voted by Mail”
The real scam is his claim that voting by mail is rife with fraud. No one questioned it until he started claiming elections are rigged against him.
“The president, who said he ordered the attack because he had a ‘good feeling’ that Iran was preparing to preemptively attack U.S. forces in the region, said the other day that he would also rely on his instincts on when to get out. He told Fox News he would ‘feel it in my bones.’”
Jesus….
“How Trump’s Homeland Security Pick, a Prolific Investor, Got a Lot Wealthier in Congress” (NY Times)
Funny how so many members of Congress become filthy wealthy after being elected into office. Must be their huge salaries, right?
Trump wearing an informal baseball cap while receiving the fallen soldiers betrays the solemness of the moment. In fact, he demonstrates very poor judgment and taste, and broadcasts to the world a lack of comprehension of the seriousness of this very sad occasion.
There’s nothing more that special interests like than having a career politician in their pocket. There’s nothing more a career politician likes than having the support of special interests.
Let’s destroy this sick symbiotic relationship. End reelection. No more career politicians.
Trump will undoubtedly say this in the SOTU speech:
“We’re taking in hundreds of billions of dollars from the tariffs we’re charging foreign countries.”
That is, he’ll double down on the lie that “foreign nations” pay the tariffs.
You heard it here first! 😁
What our easily predictable lines will he utter tonight?
Let’s hope that the Supreme Court’s decision today regarding Trump’s tariffs finally puts to rest the breathtaking lie that foreign nations pay the tariffs. It’s time for all to recognize that these Trump tariffs are a consumer tax on American businesses and consumers. No foreign country has been sending us checks. The “billions of dollars“ collected so far have come out of our pockets. If you don’t believe it, try importing something subjective tariffs and you’ll find out very quickly who pays them.
Shame on POTUS for blatantly lying to the American people.
What can you say about the movie “Melania”
1) it pays Melania millions to put her on a pedestal
2) it’s fodder for the cult (Nick Adams, Benny Johnson and the rest of the Trump toadies will call it the best documentary ever)
3) it’s a very public bribe by Jeff Bezos
