MAGA Governor Pulls Endorsement From Candidate He Never Should Have Endorsed To Begin With

I am going to share this story for the sole reason that it amply demonstrates just how deeply ingrained the moral rot has become within America's modern-day conservative movement:

 

 

Link:  MAGA governor pulls endorsement after Republican spewed slurs during arrest: report - Raw Story

 

"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott withdrew his endorsement of a Houston-area legislative candidate after dashcam footage surfaced showing the Republican using a racial slur while trying to talk his way out of a drunk driving arrest earlier this year.

According to the Houston Chronicle, David Flores, running to represent Pasadena in the Texas House, was pulled over by Deer Park police for speeding in the early morning hours of February 14 and found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.11 percent. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DWI in June and received probation."

Ok, so you you might be thinking to yourself, "what's the big deal?"  Greg Abbott dropped an endorsement of some MAGA chud running for office in his state after the chud was arrested for a DWI.  Sounds like Abbott made the proper, moral decision, right?

That would be a totally wrong assumption to take with one of MAGA's star politicians.  Why is it wrong to assume Greg Abbott made a conscious moral decision to drop his endorsement of this guy?  Well, if we read just a tad further into the article:

 

"It's not the first time Flores has had legal trouble. He racked up five misdemeanor convictions between 2001 and 2004 for offenses including theft, assault and evading arrest, issues he spoke openly about during an earlier run for Pasadena mayor in 2018. He hadn't faced any Harris County charges again until this year's arrest." 

 

Yeah - that's right.  This guy David Flores who Abbott dropped his endorsement of because of a DWI arrest, had a string of criminal offenses in his background BEFORE being arrested for that charge.  Apparently none of those prior criminal offenses by Flores, nor all of them collectively, prevented Abbott from giving this MAGA chud his endorsement to begin with.  I guess the DWI was just one crime too many for Greg Abbott's pristine MAGA moral values to endure.

Sadly these days, the new-age MAGA chuds running for political office all too often turn out to be losers like this Flores cretin, unqualified, undeserving, morally compromised hacks who attempt to use politics to outrun their shady, oft-times criminal pasts.  It's also a prime opportunity for them to stick their snouts in the MAGA/Drumpf grifting pig trough to enrich themselves.

But this is why it's always good to read past the headlines.  Whenever MAGA's corruption and perfidy make the news, always assume the details of the story are much worse than what the headline conveys.

Jim Jordan Absolutely Should Be Fretting His Seditious Ass Off

Drumpf and his MAGA capos are pissing their drawers in abject fear of the Democrats regaining control not only of the House of Representatives, but also the US Senate - as well they should be:

 

Link:  Jim Jordan frets over probes of allies: 'They're going to investigate Cabinet secretaries' - Raw Story

 

"Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) warned Sunday that if Democrats win back the House, they will go after President Donald Trump, his family, his cabinet and even private businesses, The Hill reported.

"They say they're not going to, but we know they will –– they'll do a third impeachment of President Trump," Jordan said on "Cats Roundtable," the WABC 770 AM radio show hosted by John Catsimatidis. "But that's just part of it. They're going to investigate the first family, they're going to investigate cabinet secretaries."

Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, singled out its top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.). He said Democrats would try to impeach FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth."

  

First of all, nobody gives a shit what a crooked little punk congressman from Ohio with his own sex scandal past thinks may or may not happen if the Democrats regain control of the house and senate.

Jim Jordan was one of those Republican officials who was all in on Drumpf's little January 6th insurrection to such an extent that he was subpoenaed to appear before the US House Select Committee investigating the MAGA terrorist attack on the US Capitol that day.

And what did Jim Jordan do with his lawful subpoena to testify about his knowledge of the events leading up to the violent, deadly attack on our country's capitol on January 6, 2021?  He blew it off.  Never showed up.  He literally thumbed his nose at the bipartisan committee that issued the subpoena.

That is why whenever I hear these phony MAGA chuds like Jordan waxing poetically about respect for the 'rule of law' I just burst out laughing uncontrollably because of how ungodly full of shit they are.

Jim Jordan says he is fearful that Democrats might look into all of the shady crypto and bitcoin deals and military contracting deals that Drumpf and his sons are involved in and raking in hundreds of millions on.  Jim Jordan and his party spent more than five years "investigating" Hunter Biden for an $8000 interest-free personal loan from his father, but hundreds of millions flowing into the Drumpf son's bank accounts don't even get a passing glance from Republicans.

I imagine Gymbo may also be concerned there might be an inquiry into  the recent gift of a rented island wedding reception for DumDum Jr. and his new bride Bettina Anderson, the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's former banker (mere coincidence I'm sure), that is purported to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and was paid for by one of Vladimir Putin's stooges.  Yeah - I could see why an investigation into that matter might disturb Jim Jordan.

Or horror of horrors, they might actually look into all of the self-dealing that Jared Kushner (Vanky's man) is doing in his role as Drumpf's defacto Secretary of State (Marco Rubio is just SOS on paper) even though the 'Slim Man' is not a member of government and was not elected to any position in our government.

Jordan also seemed to suggest that that some of Drumpf's cabinet secretaries should be fearful of investigations into their self-enriching and other unethical activities while pocketing a taxpayer-funded salary.

My answer to those fears being expressed by Jordan and his MAGA friends is that, if you haven't committed any crimes, then why are you all so hysterically fearful of having your activities scrutinized by the legal system?

And besides - most of these people should be feeling pretty secure anyway, that regardless of what crimes and other transgressions they have committed while working in DonOld Drumpf's administration, they can count on there being a Drumpf-signed, blanket criminal pardon waiting to save them from being held accountable by the laws of our nation's justice system . . . providing naturally, that they remain loyal to the mob boss and not rat him out.

There's a Reason Mike Johnson Adjourned Congress Until After the Elections - The Impending Impeachment of Pete Hegseth

Out of the whole sordid menagerie of despicable individuals who Drumpf has dragged into his criminal regime and appointed to high positions, there is one person whose eventual downfall, which will occur at some point undoubtedly, will be more entertaining and satisfying to witness than any of Drumpf's other ethically-challenged capos.

 

 

Link:  Pete Hegseth Rails Against 'Sick' Media in Stunning Speech

  

"Pete Hegseth used a chunk of his speech to the troops on Wednesday to go on a blistering verbal assault against the press.

The defense secretary damned the mainstream media for being littered with anti-American “haters” who peddle “fake news” about the military, like recent reports about dwindling munitions due to the Iran war.

Hegseth — while delivering his State of the Force address at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia — said reporters chase negative stories because they are addicted to seeing their headlines plastered across cable news. He also claimed most journalists crave dirt because they loathe President Donald Trump more than they love the country — a blinding hatred he said puts America’s soldiers in danger.

“Our so-called press makes Iranian state media look reasonable,” Hegseth said. “Our media’s shameful lust for political retribution blinds them to the consequences of reckless, so-called reporting. So-called journalists, juiced up on Trump Derangement Syndrome, think fighting against our president, but they’re really undermining you.”

He went on, suggesting mainstream reporters are acting as a not-so-stealth wing of the Democratic Party."

  

Yep - you guessed it.  That person is Pete Hegseth.

It is utterly fucking indefensible, not to mention un-American for the American Secretary of Defense to get up in front of a captive audience of US soldiers who come from diverse walks of American life, religion, race, and even politics, and give an overtly partisan and aggressive attack on the free press while defending Drumpf's lies and demagoguery.

The media has it's problems these days, no argument there - but those problems are principally related to their crooked ownership by MAGA-friendly, Drumpf-fellating billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elmo MuskRat, Larry and David Ellison, and other unscrupulous, wealthy elites of their sordid right-wing ilk. 

Kegseth is so fucking laughably out of his league as US Secretary of Defense that it literally stopped being funny after his second day on the job, and America is now seeing the proof of that observation with his Iran war dumbassery.  

I've lost count of how many times Kegseth and Drumpf have publicly declared this war that they started against Iran won and the Strait of Hormuz fully open, only to find out they were, and still are, lying their assess off to the American public about nearly everything that is happening in this war.  And if any additional supporting evidence that Pete is fucking up this war is needed, just go ask any American long-haul trucker how they feel about paying for Pete's war right now.

And the fact that Hegseth felt compelled to change the congressionally authorized (lawful) name of his cabinet title to 'Secretary of WAR' in lieu of Secretary of Defense strongly suggests that he is an insecure, immature, manifestly unqualified buffoon, and the whole fucking world knows it.  The ONLY reason Pete Hegseth is in the position he is in today is because DonOld gets a kick out of hiring loudmouth, Fox "news" flunkies for his administration, regardless of their qualifications.

But even more than that, it's because Drumpf is a master at finding compromised individuals who he can pull into his criminal orbit and manipulate to perform his underhanded bidding.

And yes, I confidently call Hegseth 'compromised,' for if you recall, Ol' Pistol Pete has his own 'rape' problem in his past and Lord knows if we have seen any consistency with Drumpf, it's his penchant for bringing sleazy, 'rapey' guys just like himself into government and giving them influential, tax-payer funded jobs, providing of course that they are 100% loyal to the mob boss in the White House and his crooked agenda.

So yeah - when Pete Hegseth's time in the barrel comes, I am right there with my gallon tub of hot buttered popcorn and a Big Gulp! to enjoy the show right up to the final, rolling credits that signify 'THE END' of Ol' Pistol Pete's ignominious career in government and politics.

Republicans Fear Jack Smith Because He Has Evidence of Their Party's Criminal Corruption

The dirty Republicans in the US senate, in their infinitely corrupted wisdom, dragged former Special Prosecutor Jack Smith back into the halls of Congress yesterday in a sad, pathetic, sleazy attempt to smear him, and their effort included a comically failed attempt by one MAGA senator at getting Smith to perjure himself in his sworn testimony to the Senate committee he was appearing in front of:

 

Link:  Eric Schmitt Botches Bid to Corner Jack Smith Over Basketball Game

 

Essentially, this MAGA senator Eric Schmitt from Missouri, a state famous in recent years for electing right-wing assholes of suspect personal character to higher office, tried to claim that Jack Smith attended an NBA basketball game in Atlanta, Georgia sometime in February of 2023 and that it was actually a ruse to meet secretly with Fulton County DA Fani Willis to collude on plans to persecute Trump. Schmitt openly called Jack Smith a 'dirtbag' in the hearing and claimed without a shred of evidence that Smith had 'perjured' himself in prior sworn testimony. 

Sadly, for the ethically-challenged, dipshit MAGA senator from Missouri, his crack staff of investigators had incompetently misread text messages between some of Smith's staff from the date in question, and they just ASSUMED the basketball game Smith had attended was the Atlanta Hawks game in Atlanta.

They were wrong.  Smith did indeed attend a basketball game in February of 2023, however it was a college game between Maryland and the Iowa Hawkeyes which took place in the state of Maryland.  And Smith had impenetrable proof on his side as the US Marshall's service had escorted Smith to that event and before yesterday's kangaroo court hearing had ended, had confirmed it.

In this video snippet from yesterday's senate hearing, we see why Jack Smith scares the living shit ouf of Republicans.  Smith possesses evidence of Drumpf's criminal guilt.  He also possesses evidence that several Republican officials aided Drumpf in his illegal efforts to overturn the results of the filthy old mobster's 2020 election loss to Joe Biden:

 

 

If Democrats retake the White House in 2028, they need to appoint Jack Smith Attorney General so that he can finish the job of prosecuting every fucking traitorous piece of shit who had a hand in instigating the violent attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 and put them all behind bars where they belong.

Then They Came For the Nurses . . .

Drumpf's DOJ hasn't done a fucking thing to bring the murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti to justice, and in fact appear to be helping them evade justice.

What makes that all the more inexcusable is that these fucks appear to have plenty of time to be arresting  hospital nurses who refuse to assist DonOld's I*C*E goons with their ethnic cleansing mandate:

 

Link:  Michigan nurse charged with helping immigrant flee ICE custody | Reuters

 

"WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - A Michigan nurse was charged with helping a Mexican national escape from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at the hospital ​where she worked, court documents unsealed on Tuesday showed.

Chloe Renae Freeman, 33, ‌of Whitmore Lake, Michigan, was charged in late August with "willfully" helping an unnamed immigrant subject to removal from the United States escape federal custody at Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital, ​FBI Special Agent Michael Wagner said in a criminal complaint."

  

After watching Drumpf purge good, honest Americans from the DOJ (just as Hegseth is doing to the military) and turn the agency into his own criminal defense law firm and vehicle to harass those who oppose him, and after seeing how he has directed his hired stooge Toad Blanche to corrupt that agency even further in his role as Attorney General by using it to persecute Drumpf's perceived political enemies, it stands to reason that going after regular US citizens who refuse to participate in DHS's crimes against humanity is going to be the new Trumpian standard going forward.

Because that is just the way things work under fascist, authoritarian governments. 

The only question that remains is the question of how many Americans these fascist bastards who have been installed at the DOJ are willing to persecute and imprison at the behest of their convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and suspected child rapist boss?  

Something tells me that Americans are going to get an answer to that question in the wake of the midterm elections should the Democrats as all reputable polling indicates take back control of both the House and Senate.

MAGA Will Never Blame Themselves or Drumpf for Their Economic Ruin - Moral Cowardice is a Powerful Drug

Lol.  These dumb MAGA potato heads.  They themselves, more than anything or anyone, are the reason this country and people can't have nice things:

 

 Link:  Furious Trump Voter Regrets Decision After Painful Crisis

"A furious Trump voter has delivered a blistering verdict on the president, saying soaring gas and food prices have left her regretting the decision to vote for him.

Energy prices have shot up since Trump, who made lowering costs and not starting any new wars two central 2024 campaign vows, began his deeply unpopular war with Iran in February.

AAA figures show the average price of fuel at $4.45 a gallon, while diesel stands at $6.44.

Food prices have also risen, with the price of ground beef up 7.2 percent over the past 12 months, while seafood, sugar, and coffee are all up around 6 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

And Americans—including Trump voters—are not happy about it.

“I’m pissed off about gas and food prices. It’s affected everything,” one Trump voter in Iowa told MS NOW on Monday, adding that Americans should “feel sorry for the truck drivers that are trying to make a living."   

 

And let's stop right there.

For the most part, I do feel some sympathy for and empathy with truck drivers who are being financially decimated by Drumpf's Iran-war economy.  The financial impact to those people is clearly measurable.

Having said that however - I don't feel one single ounce of sympathy or empathy for any truck driver who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 KNOWING FULL WELL who he is, what he has done, and what he was planning to do.  

Those truckers voted to kill their own careers.  That is all on them.  Their financial ruin will be a good life learning lesson on why it is never wise to put your trust in liars, fraudsters, grifters, felons, and suspected pedophiles.

Corruption Literally Oozes from this White House as Republicans Purposely Look the Other Way

Unfortunately we currently have a country where one of the two major political parties has essentially abdicated any sense of duty to responsibly govern the nation in deference to a carnival barking, dime-store street hustler who expends more time and effort trying to cover up his two-decade long 'friendship' with a notorious child sex trafficker than he does in addressing real-world issues that are impacting the majority of American's lives.

 

Link: Criticism grows of $1.5M in pro-Trump ads paid for by taxpayers | AP News 

 

"The White House has spent days fiercely defending three taxpayer-funded advertisements that glorify President Donald Trump and are nearing at least $1.5 million in public spending, calling them public service announcements like those used in past administrations.

“Don’t let the Fake News get away with their lies about our epic Public Service Announcements that have been running on tv,” White House communications director Steven Cheung posted on X on Sunday."

 

Drumpf got caught red-handed stealing taxpayer money to pay for his Orwellian, self-promoting campaign videos that aired on national TV this past weekend (on Fox "news" of course).

DonOld's enablers in his execrable administration immediately began crying "Fake News!" the second the story hit the mainstream headlines that Drumpf was pilfering taxpayer money to essentially fluff his own failing presidency.

You just have to laugh at the rank assholery of these comically villanous Drumpf quislings like Steven Cheung calling Drumpf's political TV ads "Public Service Announcements."

If you don't know who Steven Cheung is, he is Drumpf's fluffer White House Communications Director, who like the milk-livered coward that he and most of thse MAGA chuds are, loves to sling insults and lies from the safe perch of his social media position in the White House at Drumpf's detractors, but who is far too much of a gutless snake to ever have real-world conversations and debates on issues with anyone but the internet void that he is incessantly screaming in to.

Btw - this is Steven Cheung: 

 

 

I know, right?  You won't find a more fitting poster-child for the MAGA chuds than this morbidly obese toad.  Losers and freaks, all of them.

Anyway,  I have zero expectations that the party that stood by silently watching Drumpf run a self-enriching money laundering operation out of the White House in his first term will do much of anything to stop him from criminally using taxpayer money to pay for campaign ads promoting his own presidency in this midterm election cycle.

The GOP simply doesn't give a flying fuck about norms, laws or the constitution anymore, and that is one of the principal reasons why they are headed for a historic wipeout in the November elections.

Stealing Money From Taxpayers is Nothing New For Drumpf - What's New is The Purpose of That Theft

He breaks our nation's laws with impunity because the corrupt conservative judges on the US Supreme Court in their infinitely grand wisdom granted him that democracy-undermining 'privilege:'

 

Link:  Trump ignites outrage from political world by ‘stealing’ from taxpayers to fund ad campaign: ‘Completely illegal’ | The Independent 

 

"Donald Trump will not be on any ballots in midterm elections this fall, but you wouldn’t know it by the wave of campaign-like ads produced by the White House on taxpayers’ dime.

Trump told voters last month to “pretend I’m on the ballot.” His former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News viewers to “vote like President Trump is on the ballot.” House Speaker Mike Johnson told supporters that Trump’s “legacy” will be on ballots — even if Trump’s name isn’t.

Facing low approval ratings and a grim forecast for Republicans trying to retain control of Congress, the president has turned to the airwaves.

At least three television ads in recent days echo Trump’s campaign messages promising to take down “the deep state” and “fake news,” or promote himself and his work in office with the song “Love Me” by singer-songwriter JMSN. Each of them ends with the caption “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”" 

 

"Paid for by the U.S. Government." 

Using taxpayer funds to pay for multi-million dollar TV ads to promote himself as some type of a dark, foreboding, Stalin-like figure who is going to save America by purging unseen (except inside his own tiny mind) "deep state" enemies within our government who have persecuted poor, innocent DonOld is not only likely a criminal offense, it is also a colossal waste of those taxpayer dollars.

These bastards do this at time when millions of Americans are barely surviving paycheck-to-paycheck thanks to the rising inflation, rising gas and diesel costs, rising costs of just about everything including groceries and utility bills, all thanks to DonOld's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'

And they also do it at at time when DonOld's administration is kicking millions of Americans off of their only affordable option for healthcare which is also seeing dramatically rising costs to working Americans.

Let's kick this Orwellian thug and his party of grifters, fraudsters, and Russophiles to the curb in this year's midterm election and put an end to this insanity and their felonious mismanagement of not only our country, but also our nation's finances.

Consorting With America's Enemies Becomes a Rite of Passage in MAGA World

A week or so ago, we found out that Donald Trump Jr. married the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's former banker and that his half-million dollar rented island wedding reception was  bankrolled by one of Vladimir Putin's right-hand men.

This week we discover Drumpf's booze-soaked FBI Director Ka$h Patel is palling around and partying with yet another Russian operative:

 

 

Link:  Kash Patel spotted partying with suspected Russian 'double agent' - Raw Story

 

"FBI Director Kash Patel was seen partying alongside Ali Abdelaziz, a prominent mixed martial arts manager and former FBI informant who was dropped by the agency in 2008 after he was suspected of being a double agent.

Early Sunday morning, U.S. Attorney for Nevada Sigal Chattah — appointed by President Donald Trump last year unlawfully — shared a photo of herself on social media attending an “extravagant, star-studded wedding” in New York standing alongside four others: the bride, MAGA star Alina Habba, her husband Turkish billionaire Turhan Mildon, Patel and Abdelaziz.

The photo immediately caught the attention of multiple journalists."   

 

So the Director of the American FBI is hanging out and boozing it up with an individual who his own agency had previously labeled a "double agent" (hint: not a good guy).

Good to know.

I'm certain that in the polluted minds of the MAGA faithful, its completely normal and acceptable to have all of these people in the American president's orbit, the president's son, his friends, his administration officials, and of course himself, all hanging out and schmoozing with agents working for the UN wanted war criminal and Russian mass murderer, Vladimir Putin, an evil despot who has long harbored a desire to turn the United States of America into the same landscape of munitions poisoned land, air and water, and American cities transformed into bombed out ruins and rubble as he has done in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Its pretty clear that the MAGA coup that started on January 6, 2021 with Drumpf's attempt to violently overturn the results of his legitimate election LOSS to Joe Biden is ongoing. 

The fact that we see Drumpf and the people around him so cavalierly interacting with agents of this nation's most dangerous enemy is a pretty clear sign that these guys are feeling pretty comfortable consorting with and getting into bed financially with people who would slit the throat of any American in a dark alley if they had the chance.

Suffice to say, these dalliances with the Russians by Drumpf, his family, and his quislings only serves to underscore just how dangerous the situation is at this moment in this country with this White House seemingly under the control of a cabal of  treasonous, mobbed-up traitors.

Dear Leader 'Don Jong Un' Issues New Propaganda Video Using American Taxpayer Money - This is Fascism 101

I don't express the term 'wow!' much anymore when it comes to Drumpf's assholery, but wow!

This truly takes Drumpf's openly expressed desire to be America's first dictator to a whole new precarious level for the American people:

 

Link:  Post by @atrupar.com — Bluesky

 

That the mobbed-up old kiddie-diddler posts dangerous rhetoric like this on nearly a daily basis on his 'Truth Social' media shithole site is one thing, but when he starts doing it using US taxpayer money from an official US government website, that crosses not only a legal and constitutional line, but a moral and decency line as well.

This fucking guy is not well mentally.  Posting a video like this from an official government website for the public to see is something you would typically expect from a banana republic dictator desperately trying to cling to power.  It is utterly bugfuck insane and morally repugnant.

It is long past time for the American people to have a serious intervention with those in our government who have the power to remove this malignant lunatic from office.

Sadly, a bunch of American cowards who go by the name of the Republican party are refusing to acknowledge the obvious, much less the danger that Drumpf's continued presence in office poses to the national security of this country and the American people.  They are pusillanimously slinking away from their duty as representatives of our government and patriotic guardians of our representative democracy.

Apparently there is not one person in the ranks of the Republican party who possesses the moral courage to stand up and state the obvious as to what the entirety of the sentient world knows needs to be done with DonOld Drumpf in order to mitigate further damage to our republic.

Impeach.  Convict.  Remove.

25th Amendment.

Either, or.
