The Dictator Wannabe Makes His Move

Donald Trump is out of his fucking mind:

 

 

Portland, Oregon is not in any fucking reality-based sense way, a "War ravaged" city.  And certainly not worthy of the President of the nation sending in the US military troops to show what a tinhorn bully he can be.

This is the move of a fascist dictator folks, calling on Kristi Noem's masked Homeland Security goons and his Fox "news" flunkie "Secretary of War," formerly known as 'United States Secretary of Defense,' to deploy the military into an American city all based on lies and bullshit from his right-wing enablers and propaganda peddling right-wing sources.

Btw, if you all haven't heard, we are very close to many of the Epstein files being made public and we found out yesterday that the names of South African billionaire Drumpf funders Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, along with Drumpf whisperer Steve Bannon are in those files which were released by the family estate of the late Jeffrey Epstein to the US Congress yesterday:

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Friday released its third

batch of documents tied to the estate of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, revealing the financier’s reported associations with powerful men such as Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon and Elon Musk. 

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, is also mentioned in the files. 

“It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims,” Oversight spokesperson Sara Guerrero said in a Friday statement. 

“Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes. It’s past time for Attorney General Bondi to release all the files now,” she added.

According to the newly released files, the tech billionaire Musk was scheduled to visit Epstein’s island in December 2014. Bannon, a former strategist to President Trump, and the tech billionaire Thiel had meetings slated with the financier in 2019 and 2017, respectively. 

Andrew was listed on a manifest for a May 12, 2000, flight from New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport to West Palm Beach, Fla. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his former girlfriend who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for crimes related to the sexual abuse of minors, also were recorded as being aboard the flight, according to the published records.

 

Declaring "war" on an American city and declaring he will authorize his military to use "full force" (aka, kill people) American citizens is fucking abominable and it is clearly meant to be a distraction of impending bad news for Drumpf and the GOP on the Epstein files front.

Wake up folks.  Your nation is being transformed into a Putin-style thugocracy before your very eyes because a bunch of wealthy, corrupt pedophiles and their enablers in a corrupted American political party are beholden to a lifelong con artist, convicted felon, rapist and suspected child rapist.  If they are not removed from power, it will not turn out well for our democracy, and it will fundamentally alter the way of life of every citizen in this country for the worse if we go down that dark path.

$20 Billion to Save a Fascist Autocrat's Ass. A Middle Finger to Americans in Need.

No money to help make healthcare more affordable and accessible.

No money to help deal with the burgeoning mental health care crisis in the US. 

No money to help shore up and strengthen Social Security and Medicare for American retirees.

No money for improving and expanding care for American veterans.

No money for education or programs like Head Start or free school lunches for American school kids.

No money for American pediatric cancer research.

No money to reduce gun violence or the proliferation of guns in our society, the leading cause of death of American children.

No money to actually fix the nation's fixable immigration problems.

No money to help Americans recover from natural disasters.

The list goes on...

But boy, if you're an ambitious, authoritarian autocrat butt-buddy of Donald Trump, all you have to do is ask, and $20 billion in American taxpayer cash is yours for the taking:

"New York  — 

The Trump administration is negotiating a financial lifeline for Argentina, seeking to stabilize its currency and prevent broader economic fallout.

Such an extraordinary intervention might seem like an odd choice for the Trump administration, whose “America First” agenda calls for a more hands-off approach to foreign affairs. But it starts to make some sense (ideologically, at least) when you view the effort through a global MAGA lens: It’s one wealthy, far-right leader helping out his like-minded, loyal pal.

Here’s the deal: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday that the US would extend a $20 billion swap line — exchanging US dollars for pesos to help stabilize Argentina’s financial markets — and potentially scoop up Argentine government debt."

 

Finally a mainstream news headline that conveys an actual truth.

Drumpf isn't handing over $20 billion in US taxpayer money to bail out the nation and people of Argentina.  No, this money will be used to bail out one of DonOld's right-wing political allies because that ally profusely kisses his ass in public and has based his own right-wing governing style on that of Drumpf, which is ironic considering it was that governing style that has led to Argentina's economic collapse.

The US shouldn't be giving so much as one cent to Milei's corrupt and incompetent authoritarian government, and Drumpf should be, but won't be ashamed at handing American's tax money to one of his failed, fascist ass-kissing friends.

They Lie About E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G

Not that this is breaking news or surprising in any way, but DonOld Drumpf's right-hand man, JD Vance is a lying sack of shit.  

 

 

No Mr. Vice President Couch Humper.  That is manifestly untrue.  To put it bluntly, you are either an ignoramus or a fucking liar and I'm betting on the latter.  Either way, it reflects poorly on your fitness for office.

Official study, after study, after study, every year over the past three decades, shows unmistakably that more political violence has been committed by those with right-wing sympathies than those on the left.  Every damn year.

And of course, what did JD's boss DonOld recently do about that?  Why, he did what any budding, corrupt tin-horn, banana republic dictator would do, he ordered his DOJ apparatchik Scam Blondi to remove the study from the DOJ website, which is owned by the US taxpayers btw.  

 

Link: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/doj-removes-study-website/
 

Now you have to ask the most basic question.  Why would a guy who has stated publicly on more than one occasion that he wants to be the dictator of this country disappear a major DOJ study that accurately informs the American public of who it is that is most likely to commit political violence in this country?

Keep in mind that this is the same guy who in a traitorous attempt to block the certification of Joe Biden's legitimate election win, rallied his thug supporters to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 where they attacked and battered police, smashed through doors and windows of the Capitol building to gain illegal entry, and were searching for certain lawmakers purportedly to hold hostage and or string up on a gallows they had erected outside the Capitol.  Drumpf pardoned 1600 of these criminal traitors back on to our streets and into our communities where many of them predictably have already committed new crimes.

And now that the corrupt GOP has gifted ICE $175 billion in taxpayer cash to play with, you can be assured that more than a few of those January 6th terrorists are going to wind up as masked agents on the ICE payroll in service to their coup leader.

Erect This Statue or We Will Punish You - MAGA's Idea of 'Free Speech'

Do you want to know how I know these MAGA operatives in reality don't give a shit about Charlie Kirk and see his murder as nothing more than a cynical opportunity to exploit his death for purely crass political messaging?

Because they show us day in and day out what their true agenda is, and it mostly has nothing to do with "honoring" Charlie Kirk's memory and more with promoting their own rancid political ideology.

As a prime example, Trumpublicans in the the great American shithole state of Oklahoma are attempting to force EVERY single college and university in that state to erect a Charlie Kirk statue on the grounds of their schools, AND the space where they place it must be named 'The Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza."  Signage must accompany the statue that essentially lies about Kirk's legacy.  Any college or university failing to comply with the GOP's authoritarian edict would face persecution by the majority Trumpublican government.

 

Link: https://www.rawstory.com/oklahoma-charlie-kirk-statues/

 

"Republican lawmakers in Oklahoma introduced legislation that would require public colleges to erect statues of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk or face fines.

GOP state Sens. Shane Jett and Dana Prieto, both Republicans, sponsored the bill instructing colleges to create a “Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza.” The schools would also have to include signage describing Kirk as a “modern civil rights leader, vocal Christian, martyr for truth and faith and free speech advocate,” according to the Heartland Signal.

"Square or plaza plans shall include a statue of Charlie Kirk sitting at a table with an empty seat across from him or a statue of Charlie Kirk and his wife standing and holding their children in their arms as a central element of the square or plaza design," the bill states.

Private institutions in Oklahoma would be able to apply for grant funds to establish similar memorials to Kirk.

Colleges that failed to erect Kirk statues would face "a punitive fine of one percent (1%) of the institution of higher education’s appropriated budget for each month of noncompliance," the legislation said."

 

These Charlie Kirk martyr-makers are the same phony bastards who run around screaming about the slightest offenses against THEIR free speech.  Clearly, as they keep showing us, they don't seem to give a flying fuck about anyone else's free speech rights.

Did Errol Musk's Shiniest Apple Fall Near His Tree?

Well this sure as hell might explain a lot, huh?

 

Link: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/elon-musk-father-errol-accused-154037846.html 

 

"Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren. The allegations include claims that he inappropriately touched both his stepchildren and biological children. The youngest alleged victim was said to be four years old. Elon, the oldest of Errol’s children, is estranged from his dad." 

 

Who knows if Elmo was also a victim of his father's sexual sickness.  It might very well explain why he is "estranged" from his father.  And I'm curious as to how long Elmo knew his father was molesting his kids and said or did nothing about it?  I have so many questions about this news.

I will also ask this question for the umpteenth time - why are there so many damn pedophiles in right-wing, conservative political circles and the MAGAsphere in general?  How does that happen??

Paying Taxes to Bail Out 'Mini-Me' Dictators in the Era of Drumpf

Many people much more knowledgeable about these things than The Gadfly predicted this would come to pass, you know, people such as trained and experienced economic experts and not incompetent political hacks. 

 

Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/us/politics/us-argentina-bessent-javier-milei.html

  

"The Trump administration pledged on Monday to do whatever is necessary to support Argentina’s struggling economy, throwing a lifeline to the country’s embattled president, Javier Milei, ahead of legislative elections there next month.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the United States is prepared to offer loans to Argentina’s central bank, direct currency purchases and purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated Argentine government debt from Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund to keep Argentina’s economy afloat. The value of Argentina’s currency, the peso, has fallen in recent weeks amid concerns about Mr. Milei’s political grip on government.

“Argentina is a systemically important U.S. ally in Latin America, and the U.S. Treasury stands ready to do what is needed within its mandate to support Argentina,” Mr. Bessent wrote on social media.

President Trump has embraced Mr. Milei, whom he has described as his “favorite president,” as a kindred political spirit. Because of their close relationship Mr. Trump has deepened ties between the United States and Argentina, amplifying its strategic significance."

 

Argentina's President Javier Milie modeled his governing decisions after Drumpf and even called himself "Mini-Trump."  Drumpf himself has stated Milei is his "favorite" foreign President and the two have met several times.  Two peas in a pod, if you will.

And now, just as those aforementioned wiser people predicted, Milie and his Argentine government have come groveling hat in hand to his old pal DonOld after inflicting great economic harm on his own nation and people with his ill-advised economic policies, which btw are pretty much the same policies being implemented as we speak by Drumpf and his 'Project 2025' goon squad right here in the good ol' US of A.

And if early news reports are correct, apparently Drumpf has ordered his Treasure Secretary Scott Bessent to bail out Argentina.

Imagine that folks.  Your tax dollars are going to be spent to bail out a mini-dictator wannabe Drumpf crony in Argentina, who against the judgment of smarter people, forced years of economic hardship on his people claiming his right-wing economic policies would Make Argentina Great Again.  Sound familiar?

The American people essentially will be bailing out a failing dictatorship a time when Drumpf and his minions, along with help from the MAGA monkey House, are kicking Americans off of Medicaid, Medicare, and making moves to slash funding for Social Security and Veterans Benefits in a full frontal attack against pretty much any federal program or agency that actually helps average Americans instead of DonOld's  billionaire pals in the tech, corporate media, and fossil fuel industries.

"Make America Great Again" my ass.

DonOld Trump's American Nazi Revival

It's telling that organized Nazi hate groups are experiencing a period of revival during DonOld Drumpf's reign of terror:

 

Link: https://www.reuters.com/investigations/american-nazis-aryan-freedom-network-is-riding-high-trump-era-2025-08-08/ 

 

"HOCHATOWN, Oklahoma - Wearing cargo shorts, flip-flops and a baseball cap shading his eyes from the sun, Dalton Henry Stout blends in easily in rural America.

Except for the insignia on his hat. It bears the skull and crossbones of the infamous “Death’s Head” SS units that oversaw Nazi Germany’s concentration camps – and the initials “AFN,” short for Aryan Freedom Network, the neo-Nazi group Stout leads with his partner.

From a modest ranch house in Texas, the couple oversee a network they say has been turbocharged by President Donald Trump’s return to the White House. They point to Trump’s rhetoric – his attacks on diversity initiatives, his hardline stance on immigration and his invocation of “Western values” – as driving a surge in interest and recruitment.

Trump “awakened a lot of people to the issues we’ve been raising for years,” Stout told Reuters. “He’s the best thing that’s happened to us.”"

 

Got that?  In his very own words an American Nazi says that Drumpf's presidency is "the best thing that's happened" to him and his Nazi comrades.

America had come a long way in relegating these Nazi cockroaches to the fringes of our society where they belong, but then along came two villainous pricks who have literally paved the way for a Nazi movement reawakening in the US.

I speak of course about Drumpf who has courted neo-Nazis (Nick Fuentes) and hangs around with them, and his South African, trillionaire butt buddy Elon Musk who overpaid $30 million for Twitter just so he could turn it into a Nazi, fascist playground and spread mass amounts of hateful disinformation to the American public.

Drumpf believes he is untouchable because he's a sitting POTUS.  Elmo believes he is untouchable because of his massive wealth.

I got news for both of these America-hating sons of bitches - neither power or wealth, or any single excuse was acceptable to the Nuremberg prosecutors from the Nazis who were trying to evade accountability for their crimes in the aftermath of fascism's defeat at the end of World War II.  The gallows served as the final speaking platform for many of these Hitlerites and their death cult ideology, and it's a shame that many more of them didn't meet the same fate.

♫ "I'm a Martyr, You're a Martyr, Wouldn't You Like to Be a Martyr Too?" ♫

Some horrible things have been said and done in Charlie Kirk's name by some equally horrible people in this country these past few days, not the least including the orange menace himself, Drumpf.

And so at this point, since Kirk's champions seem intent on keeping his ignominious name in the news for purely exploitative political reasons for the foreseeable future, I think I will just keep quiet about the dearly departed for now and sit back and watch as Kirk's MAGA acolytes trash his legacy themselves by turning him into a cheap, dime-store "martyr."  It goes without saying I fully expect to see a lot more poor taste from these people as they lionize poor Charlie.  [cue the catchy pro-Charlie jingle]

They Built a White House Ballroom to Celebrate Corporate Graft

Drumpf tore up and paved over Jackie Kennedy's beautiful, historic White House rose garden so that he could construct a ritzy, gaudy, ugly outdoor patio and ballroom that mirrors the layout of his Mar-a-Lardass Porn Resort and mob hangout in Florida.  He strong-armed a bunch of morally bankrupt companies to pay for the estimated $250 million construction.

And the payoff for these companies, other than being allowed to suck up to a vindictive dictator wannabe's whims, is that their spineless CEOs get to have their names engraved in a chunk of stone used to build the the pussy-grabbing, convicted felon's new White House sandbox:

 

Link: https://newrepublic.com/post/200713/donald-trump-offering-people-donate-ballroom
 

"If you donate to President Donald Trump’s vanity construction project, then you, too, could have the privilege of leaving a physical stain on American history: In exchange for contributions, donors may be able to have their names etched into the stone of the new White House ballroom.

The ballroom, which will cost roughly $250 million, will be paid for by private donors and the president himself, Trump has said. White House officials have said that nearly $200 million has already been pledged." 

 

Believe me folks, the wealthy conservative donors who are paying for DonOld's big, beautiful, sleazy new ballroom are not forking over that kind of cash just so they can hang out like best buds with a convicted felon and suspected child rapist and get their name etched on a brick in DonOld's new White House Disco Dance Hall.  

No, those wealthy conservative patrons are buying themselves White House access and power which translates directly into more wealth for themselves and they don't give a flying fuck about precedents, or history, or tradition.  And so they paid for Donny's new ballroom.  I'm certain the Drumpf crime family will skim off a nice chunk of that $250 million construction price tag and pocket it in one of their shady offshore bank accounts because that's just the kind of people they are.

Anyway, the way things are going with Drumpf steering the country toward authoritarianism with a lot of these unscrupulous billionaires backing and funding him, I'm beginning to think perhaps I may live long enough after all to see a few of those billionaires become casualties of the people's guillotine when the revolution comes. 😐

The Crime Factory That is the Administration of Donald Trump

Some more of that good old-fashioned, Make America Great Again corruption in broad daylight by the guy who laughably convinced a bunch of shit for brains Americans that he was the right person to vote for to "clean up the swamp" of corruption in Washington D.C. and restore honor and dignity to our government (that's the laughable part).

 

Link: https://newrepublic.com/article/200697/trump-firing-prosecutor-tish-james

 

 

The guy who Drumpf himself appointed to the US Attorney position in Virginia knew he was being asked to perform the illegal act of misusing his public office to persecute Donald Trump's perceived political enemies and he did the right thing in refusing to comply.

So Drumpf is going to fire him.

And then DonOld will go out attorney shopping in strip malls and corporate boardrooms in south Florida for a new US Attorney for Virginia who will ask no questions and just do his illegal bidding.

This is a textbook example of how strongman dictators and mob bosses run their corrupt and illegitimate banana republic fiefdoms.
