Another week and the war that isn’t a war rages on, with the threat of ground troops and a President who has said he’s now bored by the whole thing. How comforting to the families who’ve lost loved ones or have had loved ones injured in the war to know that Cankles isn’t enjoying himself any longer. So, what else is happening …
Cankles, who has long railed against mail-in voting and calling it “mail-in-cheating” voted by mail in a Florida special election last week. I wonder if he’s going to call his vote mail-in cheating after Democrat Emily Gregory won the election and now represents Cankles’ district in the Florida state house.
Vermont Democrat Senator Peter Welch and Connecticut Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal released new information on payments made under a subcontract issued to The Strategy Group as part of the $220 million advertising campaign for recently-canned Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Expenses included a $60,000 “signing bonus” to Strategy Group, a $20,000 horse rental, $4,000 in hair and makeup services, $52,599 to videography, photography, and production vendors, $100,000 in labor costs, $500 to Magic Makers, Inc, a magic store in Sioux Falls Idaho plus $42,000 to “other” venders for a total of $286,000 in taxpayer dollars for Noem to film commercials. DogKiller, adulterer, grifter and thief.
Cankles, who for years has played Elvis Presley’s music at his campaign rallies and often compared himself to Presley, went to Graceland last week while his illegal war raged in Iran, Let that sink in.
Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been pushing Cankles to continue the illegal war against Iran, arguing that the US-Israeli military campaign presents a “historic opportunity” to remake the Middle East. So now he’s taking war advice from the country of the 9/11 hijackers. Let that sink in.
MAGAt Republican Lauren “The Groper” Boebert has once again tried curry favor with Cankles by praising the installation of the ICEstapo in airports by posting a video on her social media:
“ICE agents show up at airports. While the rest of our country has three-plus-hour waits—thanks Democrats—in Minneapolis Airport’s TSA, wait time right now is less than five minutes.” And then she added “you can’t make this stuff up!!” Only, she can and she did make it all up, There were no ICEstapo agents at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, or any other airports in Minnesota.
 Before Kristi DogKiller Noem was even out the door after getting fired, her more than 10 framed glamour shots hanging on the walls of one of her Washington offices were being taken down by staff. Her replacement, Markwayne Mullin, began work right away, undoing the unprecedented regulations that Noem and her lover, Corey Lewandowski, had imposed across the department. Wait, so then even the GOP knew she was a grifting con artist?
Matt Schlapp, head of the American Conservative Union, led the crowd at CPAC [Conservative Political Action Conference] in an unintentional cheer for Cankles’ impeachment when he asked the audience:
“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” The crowd cheered and Schlapp stammered:
“That was the wrong answer. We’ll try it again. How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” And again the crowd cheered.
Despite these alleged peace talks, Pete Hegseth would rather the killings continue because according to DUI Pete “we negotiate with bombs” when it comes to Iran. War criminals all of them, and when the Cankles runs to Russia and Saudi Arabia to hide I hope they drag Hegseth into court and sentence him for his murderous reign.
Melanie held something called the "Melanie’s Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit at the US State Department" which was about education and spent all of eight minutes in attendance saying:
“As people we dream. As leaders we progress. As nations we will build. Beginning today, let’s accelerate our new global alliance, this bond, to positively impact the progress of our children.” The only thing "accelerating" was Melanie running out of the building like a Slovenian Hooker on the stroll and making it clear she doesn’t give a shiz about education. Fuck her.
Mike “The Littlest” Johnson and the GOP gave the first-ever 'America First award' to Cankles. Johnson handed a gold eagle statue and said the event would be an annual honor. With Cankles winning every year.
Minnesota Republican Representative Elliott Engen was arrested last week on suspicion of drunk driving. White Bear Lake Police Chief Dale Hager said that officers pulled over a vehicle for traffic violations, including speeding, expired tabs and a broken headlight and arrested Engen for suspicion of driving while impaired after blowing a BAC of .13. Engen once said Democrats are “drunk at the wheel on systemic fraud.” Oops.
The Senate voted last week to fund the Department of Homeland Security except for the ICEstapo, raising the prospect of an end to a weekslong partial shutdown that has strained federal workers and caused long waits at airports. The package will next be considered by the House, which was scheduled to convene last Friday morning. This is another win for Democrats.
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska who has harshly criticized the Cankles Regime for keeping Congress in the dark on combat operations in Iran has begun drafting legislation that would force lawmakers to vote for the first time on whether to authorize the war. Let’s see how many Republicans will stand with the Constitution against their Cult Leader.
Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta airlines temporarily suspended all specialty services to members of Congress. Delta has long operated a special congressional service desk that helped members of Congress book trips at government rates, make last-minute ticketing changes and even reserve seats on multiple flights on the same day to accommodate congressional votes. Delta CEO Ed Bastian suspended that service and said the TSA agents who screen passengers at airports are being used as “political chips” in congressional negotiations over DHS funding. The resistance.
Cankles’ approval rating fell again to its lowest point since he returned to the White House due to an illegal war, the high price of gasoline, and his fucking ineptitude.
And then we had a booming turnout across the country and around the world for No Kings Day; estimates suggest between 8 and ten million in the US alone! The Resistance is real, and we played our part in lil ol’ Columbia, South Carolina where thousands turned out. Keep it up and never forget: |
That is a lot to take in Bob. Maybe your mother was like my mother - giving this piece of sage advice, "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all!" It is a suggestion that should not and must not apply to The Trump Cult and its rotting leader. There's nothing nice to say about them, nothing at all.
ReplyDeleteI have nothing nice to say about them, and my mother's advice was, "If you can't say something nice about someone, come sit by me!"
DeleteThe tide is turning faster now.
ReplyDeleteBetween 8 and 10 million people turned out yesterday to stand up and speak up.
DeleteAnother thing to keep in mind regarding the Saudis is that they're basically saying they want the dead and injured to be American and Israelis, rather than Saudis. Trump will sell out to them simply because they've offered to let him build a Trump Tower, and for no other reason.
ReplyDeleteFollow the money, it's always money.
DeleteWith CPAC going to a full-on push for White Christian Nationalist, it reportedly had very low attendance --- with young people staying away, preferring Turning Point USA and Nick Fuentes. I don't know which is worse....
ReplyDeleteNazi Nick is as bad as Nationalist Christians, or as I call them, Nat-C's.
DeleteHuh, Nazi and Nat-C sound very much alike!
the dog's mother
ReplyDelete3,000 here (in a traditionally
red area of our blue state)
xoxo :-)
It was a good turnout for Columbia AND South Carolina.

When you think he can't go any lower, he proves everyone wrong.
ReplyDeleteHe's the lowest of the low, with no soul, no morals, no heart ... pig.
DeleteAnd you know what? They all think they can get away with the grifting and Stealing people's hard earned money.
ReplyDeleteGnome and her boy toy think they can now go on and enjoy that money.
The repugs own the disaster zone this country will become if this war continues. And it may, because the orange toddler in charge has no impulse control.
XOXO
The GOP keeps standing by a man whose description of the war, or the not-a-war, changes hourly. I mean the incompetence is staring at y'all right in the face but still you lick boots and suckles his wee balls.

Donald Duck (Mr Bone Spurs) is happy to consort with Mr Bone Saw (alias Prince Mohammed Bin Salman) who invites Donald Duck to continue the massacres in the middle east. Donald knows that MBS ordered the murder of Jamal Kashoggi. MBS is also a man so devoid of family feeling that he locks his father away and refuses to let his mother see her husband. Do Americans really want to ally with such a toerag?
ReplyDeleteIn Donalds case, YES to answer your question. By him wanting to collude and be friendly with the likes of these people should tell everyone ALL they need to know about him.
DeleteThey''ll take the ally as long as Cankles does their bidding, and he'll do their bidding as long as he can make a profit off of it.
DeleteThe part of Democrat Emily Gregory won the election and now represents Cankles’ district in the Florida state house, is worth the whole read alone. You just know he shit his diapers when he heard that news.
ReplyDeleteI love that he voted by mail and a Democrat won in his district. I'm surprised he's not saying his mail in vote should count and they should redo the vote!!
DeleteThere are signs of hope. Once this is all over, I do expect that the international court will have Hegseth up on war crime charges. Before that I hope to read the big, beautiful obituary.
ReplyDeleteI want them all punished, and if Cankles and his family run off to hide, I hope we seize all their US assets and keep them out of this country.
DeleteAs for his cabinet, er, junk drawer, put 'em on trial, find 'em guilty, and turn Alligator Alcatraz into the Goose-Stepping Gaol and send them all there.
I do love that a democrat represents Cankles’ district.
ReplyDeleteIt is such karma!!
DeleteIf the entire 4k for hair and makeup was spent on the puppy killer, it didn't help her appearance one bit. The inner ugliness cannot be covered up.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yes, her ugliness shines through her eyes and will always be there.
DeleteYES! We can only hope that the tide is REALLY turning and the next elections (mid-term and presidential) folks remember just how pissed they are right now, end the grift, and demand punishment for Cankles and his cabal of vulgarians! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope the midterms end up with a giant Blue Wave and the trials can start, and the impeachments can happen, and prison sentences can be given,
Deletexoxo
I didn't think things could get much worse, but your first half here proves me wrong and for all his BS he gets a Gold Eagle award?
ReplyDeleteYour second half brings a glimmer of new hope.
