When Your Party Leader is a Mobster, That Sets the Tone for the Tolerance of Undesirable Political Candidates

Yes, I know these sordid stories make for better tabloid fodder, but it really goes beyond that when you acknowledge the reality that this person is seeking a position of public trust as an elected representative of his fellow citizenry in their state's government: 

 

Link:  Republican House Candidate Thomas Ross Accused of Trying to Plant Cocaine on Rival

 

"A Republican running for the Missouri state House has been arrested after he tried to have cocaine planted on his opponent, prosecutors allege in a news release. 

Thomas Christopher Ross, 37, has been charged with a count of conspiring to distribute a controlled substance after the man he allegedly tasked with planting the drugs, his former campaign manager, called police and foiled the plot, authorities say. 

The alleged scheme targeted local realtor Louise Secker, a fellow Republican running for the same seat. The ex-campaign manager claims he was instructed to plant the cocaine, as well as Adderall, in Secker’s car or purse."

 

Now that right there is peak MAGA politician if you know what I mean.

Shit, it doesn't get an scummier than paying someone to plant cocaine and other illicit drugs on your political opponent to frame them.

Drumpf would absolutely love this Thomas Ross guy, I guarantee it, because that is the kind of dirty tricksterism which is right at home in the dirty old mobster's wheelhouse, and it's the kind of sadistic ratfucking that DonOld can appreciate.   Thomas Ross is just another poster child for the kind of morally suspect people who Drumpf and the MAGA movement have lured out of the woodwork and inspired to run for public office.  

It goes without saying that having elected representatives with the mindset of Thomas Ross in control of the White House and the US Congress right now  is why our country is involved yet again in another Mideast 'forever war' quagmire that is draining our treasury and decimating our economy, all  while our dotard POTUS busies himself with plotting new taxpayer-funded projects to build gigantic gold leafed monuments to himself, including a bunker to take refuge in when the wrath of the American people turns against him.

I mean ... what in God's name are we doing here?  Are we really going to let these morally bankrupt clowns and charlatans debase and tarnish our democracy and shared American history by taking us down the road to the glorified incompetence of autocratic fascism?

JfC. 

Show up to vote in November.  That's all.  That's where the job of putting an end to the ignominious era of Drumpf and MAGA begins for Americans who actually give a shit about the future of this country and the survival of American democracy.

Out of All of DonOld Drumpf's Minions, Todd Blanche Has to be The 'Minioniest'

Watch as the most corrupt Attorney General in the recorded history of the United States of America appears on the most corrupt, least trustworthy cable "news" outlet in history,  and spreads fantastic lies suggesting that public school educators are performing sex change operations on kids during the school day and sending them home with the opposite gender of what they were born with:

 

 

Link:  @atrupar.com on Bluesky

 

First off - for those who truly believe Blanche's laughable lies that there is a "pandemic" of gender-change medical procedures on kids taking place in public schools across the country every day, please go get some professional mental health counseling - because the belief in such nonsense without a shred of credible evidence is an indication of someone who is not standing on firm ground in the reality-based world.

Secondly - Toad Blanche seems to be on a mission to ensure that he himself stands a very, very high chance of spending the waning years of his traitorous American life behind bars for the ratfuckery he is engaging in on Drumpf's behalf.  Blanche knows what he is doing.  He is not a stupid man.  An arrogantly foolish man, yes, but not stupid.  I'm sure Toad is counting on a pardon from his boss at some point, but still, his career in the field of law will be all but over once the kiddie diddling orange felon is gone and the full scope of his high crimes and misdemeanors in and out of office are revealed to the public.

Toad Blanche is already eyeballs deep in helping to cover up the reasons why the name of the man who hired him shows up more times in the 'Epstein Files' than anyone else's name except Jeffrey Epstein's name.  He has also misused and abused the levers of power in the DOJ to do Drumpf's revenge bidding against DonOld's perceived political enemies and critics.

So it's not all that surprising to see Blanche now out there on Fox peddling beloved MAGA conspiracy idiocies like this one to curry favor with his criminal element supervisor in the White House.  It's also a good way to keep himself ingratiated and in good standing with Drumpf's psychotic cult members.

I will say it for the gazillionth time and continue saying it until there's no longer a need to say it.

All of this madness ends if a sufficient number of voting Americans care enough about whether America remains a representative democracy, or if we go the kleptocratic, autocratic, authoritarian way of Drumpf's pals like Putin and Kim, and show up to vote in every election between now and the November midterms and simply refuse to vote for any candidate with the letter (R) after their name.

Does giving power back to the Democrats guarantee Utopia?  No, but it will certainly end this country's presently accelerating spiral into history's dustbin of failed empires under the stewardship of the diaper-shitting, failed reality TV show host, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and suspected child rapist-in-chief.

Masked Goons Lurking Around Polling Stations is the Third-World America MAGA Aspires To

Drumpf knows that his polls are in the literal shitter and that there's a good chance the Democrats will not only retake the House but also retake control of the Senate as well.

Knowing all of this, the filthy old, mobbed-up Putin stooge is going to do everything in his corrupt power to interfere with and sabotage the midterm elections, and in fact is already in the process of doing so:

 

Link:  Alarm as Trump deploys hundreds of DHS agents on nationwide voter 'witch hunt': report - Raw Story

 

"The Trump administration deployed hundreds of Department of Homeland Security agents to hunt down voter fraud despite a lack of evidence, sparking alarm among experts.

On Wednesday, the New York Times reported the nationwide "blitz" to look for noncitizens among registered voters nationwide despite no evidence of widespread fraud. The Times reviewed documents and training videos that revealed that agents are scouring voter rolls managed by states.

DHS whistleblower and expert Miles Taylor has already sounded the alarm on "woefully unequipped" agents being assigned in the weeks ahead of midterms and warned it could lead to "catastrophe." According to The Times, DHS agents are using personally identifiable information about voters, including Social Security numbers and birth dates, to look for noncitizens on voter rolls and, in some cases, effectively posing as individual voters."

   

Drumpf ordered the guy he put in charge of the US Postal Service to implement new, voter disenfranchising rules that are so unconstitutional that a USPS whistleblower came forward this past week to report the plot to Congress.

These new rules regarding legally cast mail-in ballots would ultimately disenfranchise (aka - deny the right to vote) to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans just two months before a national election.  The corrupt conservatives on the US Supreme Court just green-lit that cheating scheme.

I also fully expect Drumpf's masked thugs to intimidatingly show up at blue state and blue city polling sites and elections offices before, on, and after election day in November to cause chaos and instill fear in elections officials because that is what fascist despots do when their power is threatened by democracy and the will of a majority of voters.

Frankly, I think the felonious kiddie diddler has every intention of trying to provoke a "Reichstag Fire" incident which he would then use to justify sending in his corrupt DOJ and his jackboot mercenary army (ICE) to seize election machines and ballots and completely disrupt the integrity of targeted elections in states and cities that don't vote the way he wants them to vote.

And when this shit happens, it is guaranteed to happen in a blue state, and a blue city, and quite probably a blue city with a large latino or black population, because Drumpf would like nothing better than to blame illegally voting brown people as the cause of the Republicans getting slaughtered in these midterm elections and losing control of Congress and then unleash his masked goons on these Democratic cities as violent payback.

Because that is what guys who dreams about being an American dictator do.

If Nukes Are 'On The Table' in Drumpf's Iran War - Perhaps Its Time to Take the Table Away From DonOld

Suffice to say that if the demented orange lunatic deploys nukes against Iran, life as you and I know it here in the United States of America instantly changes forever, and it will not be change for the good:

 

Link:  Panic as nukes feared to be ‘on the table now’ after ‘disgusting’ Trump threat - Raw Story

 

"President Donald Trump’s escalating threats to effectively destroy Iran set off alarm Tuesday, with one foreign-policy analyst warning that the president appeared to be signaling that nuclear weapons were “on the table now.”

Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States was striking Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for what he called Iran’s failed attempt to add sea mines to the waterway and its launch of eight missiles toward a U.S. military base in Jordan.

Trump went even further in a later phone call with Fox News, where he warned that Iran would be hit “much harder” if it retaliated - and even “wiped out as a country” if the conflict continued."

  

He was warned by his own military and intelligence people, before he had Kegseth fire them all, that going to war with Iran alongside Bibi Netanyahu and Israel was a very bad idea.

Drumpf ignored that wiser advice and instead let blustering buffoons like Netanyahoo, Hegseth and Lindsey Graham (karmic justice there?) and the MAGA chuds on social media convince him that it was a great idea to go to war with Iran and that the US would win a cakewalk war in just a few short weeks.

We're now nearly seven months in to Donny and Pete's cakewalk war.  Where are we at?

There have been several hundred US troop casualties and more than a dozen US troop deaths.

Most of the US military bases in the gulf region of the Mideast have been destroyed by Iran's retaliatory strikes.

Our defensive and offensive munitions have been greatly depleted.

God knows how many billions of US taxpayer money has been spent so far - this administration's reported numbers are not trustworthy. 

Our traditional allies have distanced themselves from this war, and rightly so.

This war is quickly and clearly becoming a 'quagmire' for the US military and a quicksand trap that Drumpf and his clown college administration have stumbled America into.

The mere fact that the filthy old mobbed-up kiddie diddler is contemplating the use of nuclear weapons is evidence enough that he understand perfectly well what kind of trap he has gotten himself and the country in to, and the pangs of desperation are beginning to hard set in.

But nothing to see or worry about here, amiright?  Just a demented old, desperate felon who took the US to war without the consent of the American people or their representatives in Congress, is now seemingly losing that war, and he has control of the entire nuclear arsenal of the United States of America.  Just fucking lovely, isn't it?

If Drumpf, or Netanyahoo, or Pootin - any one of this triumvirate of evil - chooses to deploy nuclear weapons in their wars of choice, it very well could be the triggering event of World War 3.

And all you need to know about the consequences of World War 3 breaking out is Albert Einstein's famous quote on the matter:

Netanyahu's "Influence" on the US is Toxic. The Time Has Come to Cleanse This Toxin From Our American System.

This should dispel any lingering doubts as to whether or not Israel's government is a good faith ally of the United States.

They are nothing of the sort.

Perhaps at one time Israel was a semi-trustworthy, valuable, and strategic Mideast ally of the US.  Now they are nothing more than a colossally costly lead weight anchor hanging around the necks of the American people.  It is long past time for the Unites States to seriously re-evaluate our country's relationship with the criminally corrupt, rogue  government of Israel that is currently led by an indicted felon (sound familiar?) who has been charged with war crimes by the UN:

 

Link:  Gasps as foreign leader brags on live TV about 'how he manipulated Trump': ‘The gall’ - Raw Story

  

"Onlookers were left in shock Tuesday after the leader of a U.S. ally openly boasted on live television about a successful "influence" campaign waged on American leaders to push the U.S. into launching its deeply unpopular war against Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to Israel's popular Channel 14 Sunday night with a pitch to voters.

“I’ve been against Iran for almost 40 years… it took a long time to bring the United States to its senses,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew, according to Zeteo’s Prem Thakker.

“[I’ve had] close to 1,000 hours on American television with the ability to influence the United States — with the intimate knowledge of all its leaders, both those who support us and those who don’t support us — the ability to navigate this field, through it.”

“Netanyahu explicitly cites how the U.S. media has served as a compliant springboard, a vessel for his influence operation on, if not the populace, at least the consultants and members of Congress who engage with cable news more than their actual constituents.”

Breck Worsham, a prominent right-wing influencer and ex-Trump supporter, expressed shock at how Netanyahu appeared to openly brag “on how he manipulated Trump,” as did journalist Max Blumenthal.

“Netanyahu appeals to Israeli voters by boasting that he manipulated Trump,” Blumenthal observed." 

 

Netanyahu bragging on Israeli TV to his acolytes about how he has spent years successfully manipulating Drumpf, American politicians, and American media companies in to going to war in Iran alongside Israel really should tell Americans everything they need to know about our country's unholy alliance* with an unscrupulous foreign government that is actively engaging in acts of mass murder and ethnic cleansing.

 

*And no -- being against Israel's corrupt, criminal government is not in any fucking sense whatsoever an anti-Semitic take for those wishing to go there in defense of Netanyahu's ratfuckery.

Threatening Death to American Cities: The Last Gasp Assholery of a Dying, Demented Despot

There he goes again, threatening the annihilation of another enemy city if they fail to bow to his demands.

Oh wait - it's not an enemy city that he is threatening this time you say, but an iconic American city?

Silly me, I should have known:

 

Link:  Trump threatens 'city will die' if it defies his demand for federal troops - Raw Story

  

"In the early morning hours Tuesday, President Donald Trump launched a new broadside at the city of Chicago, demanding that the mayor of the city and Gov. J.D. Pritzker (D) allow him to send in federal troops.

According to the president, a denial means the “city will die.”"

 

Speaking of dying.  When the crooked, diaper wearing old kiddie rapist finally strokes out of this world that he has forced us all to live in with him, it goes without saying that this planet will instantly become a significantly better place for all humans to exist on.

Pete Hegseth Will Learn the Hard Way that Testosterone Doesn't Win Wars, Or Keep Buffoonish 'Secretaries of War' Employed

There are bad vibes brewing among the rank and file US military leadership for the Iran war decision-making being done by Pistol Pete Kegseth and the fat orange Bohemian corporal directing him from the White House, and it all points to a very dismal reality:

 

Link:  ‘Never in my lifetime’: Shock as Pentagon breaks with history in ‘unprecedented’ move - Raw Story 

 

"A series of unprecedented Pentagon leaks stunned onlookers Monday, appearing designed to pull the United States out of a war rather than push it deeper in, breaking with decades of precedent.

On Sunday, The Washington Post published a bombshell report that revealed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had been warned by several U.S. military leaders that a prolonged large-scale operation against Iran was “unsustainable,” despite Hegseth’s claims to the contrary. The Post’s report was based on a recent classified assessment and inside sources, suggesting Pentagon officials had leaked the information to the outlet.

As argued by conservative commentator Saagar Enjeti, the leaks illustrated how poorly the deeply unpopular U.S. war against Iran had gone during its first six months.

“Never in my lifetime have I seen the Pentagon brass desperately leak to keep the US OUT of a war. It is always the opposite to box a President in,” Enjeti wrote Monday in a social media post on X. “Just shows how bad things are.”

Andrew Fox, a retired British Army major and military analyst, was equally stunned by the nature of the leaks.

“An astonishing leak, and not officially denied, to my knowledge,” Fox wrote Monday in a social media post on X. “A leak like this is unprecedented. Perhaps some US officers do remember the ‘and domestic’ part of their oath.”"  

 

It's simple.  Drumpf, against the advice of smarter people in his military and intelligence community, chose to join the US at Israel and Bibi Netanyahu's hip in launching a war against Iran as negotiations were ongoing.  And if everyone recalls, both Drumpf and Hegseth boasted that once they let loose with the bombs and missiles, the war would be over in a few weeks, Iran would capitulate, and the US would be greeted as conquering, oil-stealing liberators by the Iranian people, or some such similarly psychotic bullshit.

And now, more than six months into the ongoing war, the fact that DonOld's own military are leaking damaging shit about Commander McBraggseth is a tellingly bad sign that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth and their MAGA advisers took the United States to war out of testosterone-raging stupidity and arrogance, and it increasingly appears that they have essentially now lost that war.

This is what happens when you elect unqualified, incompetent clowns, posers, and blowhards to higher office.  The unqualified, incompetent clown, poser, and blowhard simply hires even more unqualified, incompetent clowns, posers, and blowhards and before you know it, what you've got on your hands is a literal circus of unqualified, incompetent clowns, posers, and blowhards which is exactly what we have with the Drumpf administration today.

The American Emperor is Renaming Lakes While The American Economy Burns

Sigh . . .

Americans could have had nice things that bettered the lives of all of us.

But sadly a slight majority of the voting adults opted to re-elect a draft-dodging, washed up, diaper wearing, carnival barking failed reality-TV show host, chronic liar and cheat, serial adulterer, adjudicated rapist, suspected child rapist, multi-indicted convicted felon, and a coup-plotting traitor who has openly expressed a desire to be America's first 'dictator.'

And predictably, this is the resulting insanity: 

 

Link:  'Can you imagine?' Trump hurls tantrum as Dem dubs 'Lake America' rename a 'SHAME' - Raw Story

 

"President Donald Trump admitted to befuddlement late Friday night when he took to Truth Social to rage at a political foe.

Trump lashed out at New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) after she refused to start calling Lake Ontario "Lake America" and cast blame on the president for prioritizing semantics over serious issues such as inflation.

"Governor Kathy Hochul is for Canada, a Country that has been ripping off New York State for years, especially under her Administration, instead of the good ‘ol U.S.A," Trump raged. "Can you imagine her saying that she won’t respect or acknowledge LAKE AMERICA.""

 

There's just no end to this embarrassing asshole and his buffoonish madness.  It is tearing this country apart at the seams, and it is now doing great harm to the long, long established good ties and relations with our neighboring country to the north, Canada.

With every passing day the evidence grows that all of Drumpf's derangement is by design.

We have seen him unilaterally throwing tariff tantrums at country's that refuse to bow down and kiss his golden ring.

He is childishly issuing 'Executive Orders' (aka Emperor Decrees) from the American people's White House ordering the renaming of large bodies of shared water such as the forever-named Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario to 'Gulf of America' and 'Lake America' in fits of anger at those countries for failing to heed his demands.

All of this irrational public behavior by the sitting American president is to diminish America's standing in the world, and to bring great long-term harm to the United States of America, the US economy, and the American people.

There is little explainable rationality to Drumpf's malignant actions -- unless of course those actions are being watched through the shaded, beady eyes of an equally malignant foreign interest, you know, like Vladimir Putin for example.

You just know that Uncle Vlad is excitedly watching his star asset 'Agent Krasnov' take control of one of the two major political parties in the US, rename the party MAGA, then cynically use that hijacked party along with guerilla warfare politics to divide Americans and pit them against each other.

It's also to Uncle Vlad's delight no doubt as he sees Krasnov embroil the United States in yet another forever war in the Mideast that will sink the US economy and bring long-lasting economic hardship to American consumers and further erode America's trust and standing in the world.

And of course, it would be negligent of me if I failed to mention how much Uncle Vlad must be pleased beyond his wishes hearing that his prized protégé deployed an armed and masked federalized (state) mercenary force with marching orders to commit 'ethnic cleansing' on American soil in broad daylight which has already resulted in the blood of slain US citizens being spilled in the streets of our American cities.

Good times for murdering despots and their compromised stooges, ye siree, good times indeed for Uncle Vlad.

Anyway - you know the drill.

All of this stupidity and craziness and treachery can end if enough Americans who truly care about the kind of future they are going to be leaving behind for their children and grandkids is a free and democratic future show up to the polls in every local, state, and federal election for the foreseeable future and refuse to vote for any candidate with the letter (R) after their name.

That is the first step towards righting a lot of wrongs that have been committed by some really shitty, selfish, un-American people in this country over the past decade.

A Cynical GOP Tries to Co-Opt An American Icon Who Was Nothing Like Them

On the heels of the sad news of iconic American singer Dolly Parton's passing yesterday, it's time again to remind everyone that the modern-day Republican party is a party run by ugly, selfish, vindictive people who have completely lost the plot when it comes to simple human decency and basic morality.

Case in point:

 

Link:  GOP lawmakers quietly slash funds for Dolly Parton children's book charity - Raw Story

 

"Republicans this year quietly cut millions of dollars of funding for the late and beloved Dolly Parton's children's book charity, according to multiple reports.

Imagination Library, the nonprofit founded by Parton that sends free books to children across the world, faces an uncertain future in Indiana and Missouri as Republican lawmakers limit public funding, Newsweek reported Wednesday.

The charity, meanwhile, has vowed to carry on."

   

Isn't it interesting that the Republican party never seems to have trouble finding copious amounts of American tax dollars to fund massive tax cuts for billionaire chuds like DonOld Drumpf, Elmo Muskrat, Jeff Bozos, and Mark Zuckerterd?

The party of 'trickle-down economics' never seems to encounter difficulty finding ungodly amounts of taxpayer money to fund new wars of choice, and to fatten the bank accounts of defense contractors by purchasing new weapons of war as well.

This manifestly corrupt Republican party was also all ready to sign on to Drumpf's brazen theft of $1.776 billion in taxpayer money that he was going to dole out to the January 6th terrorist thugs and felons after siphoning his cut from it.

They gave the ICE goons $75 billion of our tax dollars to outfit their masked thug army with weaponry they don't need and shouldn't have, and to build human concentration camps.

They let Drumpf piss $1 billion of your tax money down the toilet tearing down the historic East Wing of the American people's White House without permission to build a ginormous gold-leafed "ballroom" and dictator hideout bunker for DonOld and his apparatchiks.

And don't even get me started on Drumpf's colossally foolish decision to embroil America in Bibi Netanyahu's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.' 

But some books for poor kids?  Nah. There's no money to be made in that for the grifters and charlatans who populate the now MAGA-controlled Republican party.

And that is why I don't want to hear one fucking word from these Republicans praising the legacy of Dolly Parton. These Republicans haven't earned the right to have the great Dolly Parton's name cross their phony hypocrite lips.

US vs Canada Trade War is Peak Drumpf Irrationality and Recklessness

Mr. Global (US/Intn'l oil and gas/energy expert Matt Randolph) can confirm that an all-out trade war between the US and Canada would not be a good thing for America's already shaky economy.  

Randolph is worth listening to and much worthier of credibility on the matter than the rantings of a dirty old liberal hippie on the pages of this shitty little blog.

Therefore - go give Mr. Global a few minutes of your time and allow him to explain some things to you about Dumbass DonOld's trade war threats against Canada and the implications that might affect you personally (hint: 💲💲) if it gets out of control.
