Drumpf's Continued Presence In Washington Sickens Americans In More Ways Than One

When the manifestly unqualified POTUS DonOld Drumpf chose a manifestly unqualified, anti-vaccine nut job and former heroin and cocaine addict with a worm-eaten brain who has a fetish for collecting animal road-kill carcasses as the person to oversee and safeguard the public health of 330 million Americans, who on God's earth could have predicted that we would see a resurgence of the previously eliminated disease of Measles and tens of thousands of Americans sickened by food-borne illnesses across the country?

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 100 people in 17 states have been sickened in a salmonella outbreak tied to recalled eggs, federal health officials said Friday.

The 98 people had illnesses that started between Nov. 21 and June 30, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No deaths have been reported, but 26 people have been hospitalized.

Investigators have determined that shell eggs recalled by Midwest Poultry Services are a likely source of the germ, but the Indiana-based company doesn’t account for all the illnesses.

Midwest Poultry previously recalled eggs produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3. The eggs were sold under several brand names and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and Aug. 17.

Among the stores that received the recalled eggs were Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana and Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi."

 

What is the glaringly obvious moral of the story here?

Don't hire a manifestly unqualified, anti-vaccine nut job and former heroin and cocaine addict with a worm-eaten brain who has a fetish for collecting animal road-kill carcasses as the person to oversee and safeguard the public health of 330 million Americans.

That sounds reasonable, doesn't it?

A Lifelong Criminal Fraudster is Hiding $13 Billion in Pilfered Cash - It's Business As Usual in Trump World

Hmm... Now what would I do with $13 Billion in pilfered oil cash If I were a lifelong criminal, con-man, business fraudster, tax cheat, embezzler, multi-indicted convicted felon, serial sex offender, adjudicated rapist and suspected child rapist who has sold this country out to a Russian mob kingpin and mass murdering, wanted war criminal? 😐

 

 

Link:  The U.S. has US$13 billion of Venezuela's oil money. Where is it? | Financial Post 

 

"The Trump administration has collected more than US$13 billion in revenues from Venezuelan oil sales this year, according to FT calculations, but has said almost nothing about what has happened to the money.

Article content

The U.S. took control of Venezuela’s oil exports and suspended some sanctions after capturing President Nicolás Maduro in January and installing vice-president Delcy Rodríguez as leader.

Oil revenues make up around a quarter of Venezuela’s GDP, and the sanctions relief was expected to provide a major boost to the economy, which was in crisis even before last month’s devastating earthquakes.

Article content

But six months after the U.S. seized control of the funds, economists say the evidence of a recovery in Venezuela is relatively muted — a potential sign that the U.S. has not sent all the revenues back to Caracas."

 

Where is the $13 Billion in Venezuelan oil that Donny and Pete heisted from the Venezuelan people when they performed their stunt of sending in the US military to abduct Venezuela's dictator and install Maduro's dictator VP as new dictator? 

Sadly for the suffering, impoverished people of Venezuela, they will very likely never see that money again.  

Were I a betting person, I would confidently wager that the Drumpf crime family has already dispersed a sizable chunk of that purloined cash among themselves and their crooked cronies, and that there will never be a full, forensic accounting for where this cash has seemingly disappeared to, much less holding accountable those who had a hand in causing that $13 Billion in cash to 'disappear' to begin with.

And does anyone believe for a nanosecond that the MAGA Republicans in the House who spent five years holding one taxpayer-funded congressional hearing after another chasing dick pics on Hunter Biden's laptop and laughably trying to prove criminal intent in Joe Biden's act of having lent his only surviving son $8000 to buy a pickup truck, will even pretend to care about this missing $13 Billion, much less want to investigate it?

'Fuck no' is the only valid response to that question.  MAGA Republicans only give a shit when it's a Democrat suspected of having committed wrongdoing, no matter how inconsequential the offense.

Honestly though - I would not be shocked in the least, and it's pure speculation of course, that we eventually discover the dirty old traitor funneled that $13 Billion to his pal Putin who is currently getting his ass kicked in his illegal, genocidal war against Ukraine and is in big economic trouble in Russia.  

That is just how perfidious an individual I believe Donald Trump to be.

There is Nothing "Stunning" About Crooks Being Crooked

Oh for fuck's sake.

There is nothing "stunning" about Drumpf's brazen corruption as he plots out this "deal" with his Saudi Arabian oil sheikh pals to provide the Saudis with nuclear enrichment capabilities.  This would be the same Saudi Arabia which supplied 15 of the 19 terrorist hijackers who attacked the US on September 11, 2001 killing 3,000 Americans.

 

Link:  'It's stunning!' CNN's Erin Burnett floored as Trump 'raking it in' with Saudi deal - Raw Story

 

"The details of President Donald Trump's nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia caused alarm bells to ring out on CNN on Thursday.

CNN's Erin Burnett and Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) discussed a new report during a segment on "OutFront" that the Trump company has been awarded a $63 billion development opportunity in Saudi Arabia, and that award happened around the same time that the Trump administration was negotiating with the Saudis in a deal that allows the country to enrich nuclear energy for civilian purposes. The company that awarded the development agreement is also linked to Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin-Salman, who has also invested in Jared Kushner's $2 billion hedge fund during the first Trump administration.

It also noted that Trump gets to keep 80% ownership in the development deal himself, while his family gets the remaining 20%."

  

You just have to laugh at the mainstream media in this country and how they continue to pretend to be surprised and stunned at Drumpf's crooked depravity.

But sure Ma and Pa MAGA - keep on whining about the $8000 interest-free loan that Joe Biden gave his son to purchase a pick-up truck while watching Drumpf and his offspring continue to rack up BILLION$ of personal profit in illicit deals brokered through Daddy Dearest's corrupt and compromised White House.

World's Greatest Con Man Cons His Own Cult and It's Glorious

I am endlessly amused watching Drumpf scam his dipshit supporters out of their hard-earned MAGA cash with trashy stunts like this.  They so deserve to be robbed by this charlatan:

"Pawn Stars host Rick Harrison appeared on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America Weekend” to discuss a new Trump keepsake.

Harrison, 61, was called on to explain the value of the new “Trump coin,” which is a piece of gold-colored $1 coin with President Trump’s likeness on it. While Trump has advertised the coins as “gold,” Harrison clarified that the coins are actually “gold-tone” and not genuine gold. Newsmax host Andrew Craft was surprised as Harrison explained that the Trump coin is “88% copper.”"

 

Haha!  

DonOld told his cult these were "gold" coins so they would run out and scoop them all up thinking they were getting a fantastic deal on a "gold" investment from their cult leader.

Turns out DonOld's "gold" coin is just a big, gold colored copper penny.  MUAHAHAHA!

He's selling "gold-toned" copper coins to his dipshit followers whose block heads are so far up the dirty old mobster's poop chute that they can't distinguish between gold and copper and truly believe they're getting a great 'deal' with their purchase of the coin.

There's a video, and I will find it and post a link, that shows Drumpf making the announcement about this coin's availability and claiming it was "gold."  

To my MAGA friends out there.  He is a con artist folks.  And this is what con artists do.

Con artistry has been DonOld's chosen "career field" for the entirety of his execrable adult life and every one of you, his supporters, are his latest scam victims.

This may sound harsh, as it was intended, but I absolutely believe that every single one of you who still support Donald Trump deserves to be fleeced by him.

The Diapered Mobster in the White House is the One to Thank for Your "Explosive Diarrhea"

Is anyone - anyone with half a functioning brain that is - surprised to hear that the CEO of the company whose food products are responsible for sickening tens of thousands of American consumers with "explosive diarrhea" is a big Drumpf supporter and that his company gave Drumpf and the MAGA Republicans in Congress $2 million as a payoff to water down and eliminate rules that would have helped facilitate government testing to identify the source of foodborne illnesses and prevent their spreading among the populace?  

You shouldn't be surprised.

Everything Trump touches turns to shit - literally in this case:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Link:  Taylor Farms Donated to Trump As He Delayed Food Safety Rule

 

"Taylor Farms – the produce giant whose lettuce has been recalled in connection with the “explosive diarrhea” outbreak sweeping the United States – and its lobbying groups have for years worked to end or delay programs meant to help the government better test for foodborne diseases and prevent their spread, according to records reviewed by Zeteo.

Over a decade ago, Taylor Farms and big agricultural industry groups successfully lobbied to defund a significant foodborne illness testing program that was responsible for some 80% of U.S. public produce pathogen testing.

More recently, under Donald Trump’s second administration, a lobbying group that Taylor Farms belongs to successfully pushed to delay a rule that would have helped the government more quickly trace contaminations back to specific locations – which could have helped prevent the illness at hand, cyclosporiasis, from proliferating into thousands of cases nationwide."

 

Tens of thousands of citizens sickened from food because of MAGA greed and corruption.

This is the kind of America that Drumpf and MAGA have planned for us all eventually.

Knowing this, please vote accordingly in November.

The MAGA "Manosphere" is Toxic Beyond Salvation

This is why I feel so confident in the belief that the MAGA movement is teeming with some of the most awful people in this country:

 

 

Link:  MAGA Rallies Around Andrew Tate - by Will Sommer

 

"PROMINENT MANOSPHERE INFLUENCERS and accused sex traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by U.S. marshals in Miami last weekend, as they were set to host—what else?—a bare-knuckle boxing match.

Video of their arrest, which quickly went viral, showed Andrew Tate dressed in clamdigger pants and an unusual purple shirt unbuttoned down almost to his navel. But maybe the most surprising thing is that it happened on American soil at all.

That’s because, despite years of accusations involving rape and sex trafficking, the Tates have enjoyed a strangely close relationship with Trump world that seems to have extended to preferential treatment from the government. Andrew Tate has had numerous friendly conversations with Barron Trump and Donald Trump Jr., according to the New York Times. 

With the influencer brothers unable to leave Romania for years as the investigation went on, prominent Trump world figure Ric Grenell reportedly spoke to Romanian officials about their case. Soon after those conversations, the Tates were allowed to leave Romania.

Another time, after the troubled pair had their phones seized last year, Trump official Paul Ingrassia reportedly intervened to help them.  And just days before their arrest last weekend, the Tates were partying in Washington with Trump administration luminaries.

Incredibly, nearly all of the MAGA movement’s embrace of the brothers has come after they were first accused of sex trafficking in 2022. That seemed pretty crazy for a bunch of people who claim their biggest issue is child sex trafficking. 

But it seemed the friendly feelings for the Tates might have reached their limits last week after they were arrested to be extradited to the United Kingdom, where they face new charges related to allegedly choking women unconscious and raping them." 

 

"Manosphere influencers" Andrew and Tristan Tate have found themselves on the wrong side of the law in several EU countries and have been accused by authorities in those countries of being involved in rapes, sex trafficking, and child pornography, not to mention their misogynistic social media content that has a penchant for promoting violence against women.

The UK is the most recent country to demand the arrest and extradition of these two pieces of human shit, charging them both with a total of 59 criminal counts for the aforementioned offenses.

The Tate scumbags had been in the custody of the Romanian police, where they should have remained.

Unfortunately for their victims and for Americans, DonOld Drumpf, who himself was embedded in Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking world for more than a decade as Epstein's "best friend," dispatched one of his administration apparatchiks to pressure, bribe, or threaten the Romanian government, and the Tates were subsequently released.  

Drumpf then facilitated the Tate's illegal entry into the US where they have been hanging out and living the MAGA lifestyle with DonOld and his peeps down in South Florida until their arrest this past weekend in Miami.

First off, I have to say something about that quoted term, "Manosphere influencers."

Apparently, within MAGA male circles, these two rapists, sex traffickers, and child porn perverts, the Tate brothers, are the very kind of "manly" men whom the young MAGA bros are "influenced" by, and whom they envy and strive to emulate.

"choking women unconscious and raping them." 

"sex trafficking"

That's who is influencing young MAGA men. 

And all decent Americans should be outraged and sickened to their cores that just last weekend: 

"the Tates were partying in Washington with Trump administration luminaries" 

It would not surprise me if some of those "Trump administration luminaries" are the same luminary names that show up alongside DonOld's name in the "Epstein Files."

They all had to have known about the UK criminal investigation and impending arrests.  And they all knew about the criminal charges in Romania.

Yet there they were - the two "manosphere influencer" brothers "partying" in our nation's capitol just last weekend with Uncle DonOld's "luminary" friends in his administration.

Having stated the obvious now, is it becoming any clearer for any of the dear readers of this shitty little blog  why I detest this repellent MAGA movement so intensely?

And is it really any wonder why our country is in such a fucked up state of affairs as it is right now when  the MAGA men who currently run our government operate in a "manosphere" where they are receptive to the "influence" of two monstrous individuals like the Tate brothers, who not only sex trafficked girls and young women, but have a fetish for choking and raping them as well?

JfC, what are we doing here people??  

When does this morally bankrupt madness end?

I still say it all ends when enough Americans decide enough is enough and drag their lazy asses to the polls in every election between now and November and vote in numbers so large against every single Republican candidate on every single ballot to ensure that Drumpf and his goons cannot possibly steal these elections via chicanery unless he goes full-blown dictator on us.  

And if the old mobster does choose to go the dictator route, who the hell knows where our democracy and our country go from there.

The GOP Adopted a Felonious Mobster and Serial Sex Offender as Their Hero - Predictable Disaster Ensues

Having been blogging online about US politics for nearly two decades, I have over that span of time collected thousands and thousands of politics-themed memes.

And today I ran across this meme out on BlueSky and I have to tell you, it absolutely stunned me into silence for a couple of minutes.

I mean - the messaging of this lady's tweet is so humble and unpretentious, yet so nakedly honest that it morally devastates the intended target of that messaging, the Republican party and Trump's diehard cult, in one fell swoop:

I actually considered voting for John McCain when he ran in 2008 against Barack Obama. And I very well might have voted for him if he hadn't capitulated to the religious right and selected that bible-thumping half-wit Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Personally, I disagreed quite a bit with many of McCain's domestic policy positions, but I valued his military experience, and I respected his having survived years as a POW enduring all manner of horrors while not betraying his country, and it was stuff like that which had me seriously looking at him as my first choice for POTUS.  

I simply had too many reservations (since proven wrong) about Obama at the time because he was an unknown entity to me and I was looking for someone with strong foreign policy credentials and a world's worth of experiences, and John McCain seemed to be an acceptable, albeit not ideal option to me, mostly because he was a Republican.

But I saw a video one day that made me respect John McCain on a deeper level.  At one of his rallies, a right-wing Republican woman stood up and denounced Obama, insulted Obama's family, called him a communist and traitor and other slanderous stuff.  John McCain shut her ass down quick.  He told the woman to her face, in front of everyone in that crowd that she was completely wrong about Obama.  He defended Obama's honor and told the woman that just because he and Obama had fundamental disagreements about how to govern the country, that didn't make Obama a 'communist' or a traitor to the nation.

And for that I respected John McCain.  He had the balls to stand up to these hateful people when no one else in the Republican party would do so.

Simply put, John McCain was a flawed, but a good man.  He was certainly more of a man than that gelatinous pile of criminal orange blubber squatting in the American people's White House could ever wet-dream hope to be, that is for damn certain.

And now sadly, today, we see how these Republicans prostrate themselves at the feet of this convicted felon POTUS, an adjudicated rapist, and a suspected child rapist, and how they praise him incessantly to his face, and pronounce every one of his presidential decrees as the greatest in history.  It's nauseating.  I have no doubt that similar scenes of spineless, fear-soaked sycophancy play out when North Korea's psychotic, mass murdering leader Kim Jong Un meets with his cabinet members.

So yeah, I think it's a pretty fucking astute and decimating observation by the mother of that US Marine that the Republican party and Drumpf voters in this country not only lost their collective souls, but also lost the moral values plot when they stopped seeing a man like John McCain as a hero and began seeing Donald Trump as a hero, and even worshiping the old mobster beyond that hero status.

Drumpf May Have Forgotten 9/11. I Havent.

Something else about this previously posted story that I neglected to mention is that every decent American should be outraged with blind fury that Drumpf is going to facilitate nuclear enrichment capabilities for the Saudi Arabian regime.

He does this knowing full well that 15 of the 19 hijackers who crashed US airliners into a field in Pennsylvania, into the Pentagon, and into the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, 2001 murdering nearly 3,000 Americans and injuring thousands more, were Saudi Arabian citizens.

I hope people keep all of Drumpf's stunningly corrupt and egregious shit like this in mind when they walk into the voting booth this November:

Republicans Just Can't Seem to Keep Their Hands Off of Little Girls - Why is That?

It really is an epidemic among these people.

And the West Virginia Republican party refuse to demand this guy's resignation.

That really should be all anyone needs to know about the moral values vacuum that this modern-day, conservative Republican, Drumpf/MAGA movement is operating in:

 

Link:  West Virginia delegate charged in probe of sexual conduct with a minor

 

"A West Virginia lawmaker is accused of enticing a minor on Roblox and Snapchat and then engaging in sexual conduct with her, according to federal court documents filed Wednesday.

Republican Del. David Elliott Pritt, 36, is charged with enticement of a minor in an investigation of allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a student at the school where he taught, a federal criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court said.

Pritt is accused of communicating with the girl while she was in eighth grade through Roblox and Snapchat where he allegedly told her “he loved her.” At the time, he was a middle school teacher.

During the summer of 2025, Pritt is accused of sending sexually explicit photos to the minor before initiating a physical relationship with her toward the end of the year.

The complaint alleges Pritt then requested the minor come to his classroom at Oak Hill High School where he allegedly engaged in sexual activity with her. The minor told investigators this allegedly happened 5-10 times." 

 

 

When your party leader is a brazenly unrepentant serial sex offender, a court adjudicated rapist, and a suspected pedophile, and the son of that party leader "idolizes" and promotes international rapists and sex traffickers, it's not hard to see why it is that so many of these sex creeps have found refuge in the Republican party.
