'Sleepy Don' Behind the Wheel is Steering America Toward Disaster

Remember that time Joe Biden bowed his head and closed his eyes for a few brief seconds during a public event and Drumpf mockingly started calling Biden 'Sleepy Joe,' and then DonOld's mewling sycophants said it was a sign of Biden's unfitness for office and demanded his resignation, and a bunch of shallow, gutless, fair weather liberals followed suit?

Here's Sleepy Joe . . er, I mean 'Sleepy Don' at an oval office signing event this morning:

 

 

Then there's this:

"Chris Traux, a conservative appellate lawyer and former GOP campaign official, warned on Friday that Trump’s “deteriorating” health was serious enough to be considered an “emergency,” and pitched what he called a "politically achievable” path forward to addressing it.

“President Trump appears to be deteriorating by the day. He is confabulating. He is demonstrating poor judgment,” Traux wrote in an op-ed published Friday in The Hill.

“Even before he began threatening to commit genocide against Iran and posted a picture of himself as Jesus, he had been exhibiting poor impulse control. He has also begun speaking like a six-year-old. He talks about ‘nuclear dust’ and says things like, ‘They’ve dropped a couple of water mines. … We’ve defeated all of their water boats, too.’”

Traux dismissed invoking the 25th Amendment as a realistic path forward, and instead offered an alternative plan.

“We need to put aside fantasies about impeachment and the 25th Amendment and focus on fixes we can actually implement,” Traux wrote." 

 

Bullshit.

Let's be clear.  The very last people who we should be listening to for ideas on how to deal with a criminally demented lunatic POTUS are the same fucking conservative lawyers who helped put the crooked bastard in the position he is in today.

If the "conservative lawyer" quoted in this article truly believes that Drumpf is unfit for office, and that the situation has reached the level of an "emergency," then there should not be one more minute of time wasted attempting to craft some new, third rail solution for dealing with matter, especially a solution that dangerously leaves the felonious old  in that office and surrounded by the same set of morally corrupt quislings who are desperately propping him up today.

25th amendment him or impeach him.  Those options are available today, right now, and if the members of the Republican party had ANY semblance of moral fiber left in their empty, decrepit souls, they would participate in bipartisan efforts to remove the filthy old kiddie diddler from the White House immediately before it's too late, although it's debatable if that line hasn't already been crossed.

But they won't do it.  Because MAGA is a cult, and the cult leader can do no wrong, and MAGA controls the Republican party who currently control all three branches of our government.  Therefore, the country and the world will be forced to endure whatever horrors come next from his continued execrable presence in the American people's White House.

Another Half Billion of Your American Money to Bail Out Drumpf's "Friends"

Watch as a dementia-addled criminal POTUS rambles on about bailing out, or even "buying" a poorly run, nearly bankrupt, Florida-based airline with half a billion dollars in US taxpayer money:

You will not find a more pure example of the 'government socialism' that MAGA conservatives claim to despise than a corrupt POTUS promising to use half a billion of American taxpayer money to bail out or "buy" a shoddily run, failing public company.

Spirit Airlines is a publicly-traded company owned by a collective of shady Wall St. hedge fund outfits.  The majority fund owner is a company called Citadel Advisors LLC, a company owned by big-time Drumpf donor Ken Griffin.

It should surprise no one that Drumpf is going to raid the US Treasury once again to bail out one of his moneyed, scumbag cronies.

This is what they do.  Graft is their game, and the treasure and assets of the United States of America and the American people are the target of their larcenous ambitions.

Even With No Media Coverage the GOP is Hopelessly Corrupt and Morally Bankrupt

I've got news for the Republican party.  The US mainstream media, as feckless and valueless as they have become under the ownership of sleazy billionaires isn't the problem that is vexing Republican political fortunes.  The problem that is thwarting the Republican's chances to remain in power is not the US media.

The problem that Republicans have is that they consciously chose to go all-in with their support of a lying, stealing, cheating, crooked businessman, convicted felon, twice-impeached, coup-plotting traitor, adjudicated rapist, and suspected child rapist as their leader, and a lot of Americans are finally opening their eyes and beginning to acknowledge the consequences of that disgusting reality, and the blow-back is manifesting itself in losses at the ballot box for Republicans:

 

Link:  'They're terrible': GOP lashes out at media for historic disapproval ahead of midterms - Raw Story

 

"WASHINGTON — The American people disapprove of this Republican-controlled Congress, with a record-tying 86 percent of the public disapproving, according to a new Gallup survey. That ties this 119th Congress with the 112th Congress (2011-2012) as the least popular in contemporary American history.

While most Democrats are embarrassed by the new findings, most Republicans are in disbelief, with many blaming the mainstream media for their own party's poor showing as they prepare to change nothing before strutting into this fall's midterms.

"The only thing that needs to be retooled is the legacy media that consistently and intentionally reports falsehoods about the Republican Party or ignores our wins," Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) told Raw Story. "That's what needs to be retooled. They're terrible. Really.""

  

Umm, no Derrick Van Orden.

What needs to be "retooled" is your corrupt, pedophilia protecting party that consistently and intentionally lies to and deceives the American public about nearly everything, all in service to a billionaire child molester and Russian asset and his mafia "friends."

To this day the Republican party has refused to renounce that awful decision and that is why they and their party and the mobbed up piece of shit who they chose to lead them are getting ravaged in the media and losing elections one after another.

US Navy's New Boss is Just Another MAGA Grifting Kook

Yeah, just what American Navy personnel need right now as they sit precariously on top of a powder keg that has the potential of being the catalyst for World War 3 - a right wing MAGA conspiracy whack job leading them in to harm's way:

 

Link:  MAGA Navy Boss Spreads Unhinged Theories About Witches and Cannibalism

  

"While Cao, unlike Phelan, has a military service background, he became known in political circles as a MAGA Senate candidate in Virginia in the 2024 election, where he lost to Democratic Senator Tim Kaine. Previously, the retired Navy captain also ran for the House in 2022.

During the campaign cycle, Cao, a 54-year-old Vietnamese refugee who moved to Virginia as a child, turned heads with a series of bizarre interviews and unhinged claims as he campaigned in the deep purple state where he lost in 2024 by eight points.

“There’s a place in Monterey, California called Lover’s Point. The original name was Lovers of Christ Point. Now it’s become, they took out the Christ. It’s Lover’s Point. And it’s really, Monterrey is a dark place now, a lot of witchcraft and the Wiccan community has really taken over there,” Cao said." 

 

Oh - he is also a 'stolen valor' asshole claiming publicly to have suffered combat injuries while serving in the US military but no service records exist to back up his claim that he suffered such injuries, much less was ever near an actual theater of war.

Umm . . . something tells me no good will come from the appointment of an individual who believes that 'witches' have taken over the coastal city of Monterrey, California, and who has lied about his military service as the head of the world's most powerful naval forces.

Drumpf continues his assholery of appointing the least qualified, least worthy or deserving, most incompetent, and most obsequious people to high places in his government and the results of those personnel decisions speak for themself (Noem, Bondi, Patel, Chavez DeRemer, etc.).

This clown Hung Cao is no exception to that rule.

The Trump Crime Family Profits Off Corruption - It's the Family and Family Business Model

Nothing to see here.

Just former children's cancer charity embezzler Eric Trump bragging about one of his startup companies being gifted a $24 million taxpayer-funded contract by his crooked father's government: 

 

Link:  Post by @atrupar.com — Bluesky 

 

MAGA Republicans in Congress spent  years investigating and holding taxpayer funded hearings in the House looking in to a personal loan of $8000 from former President Joe Biden to his son Hunter to purchase a pickup truck.

Jared Kushner, Drumpf's scummy, ne'er-do-well son-in-law walked away from his advisory role in Drumpf's first administration with his pockets bulging with $2 Billion in Saudi Arabian cash.

Not one single minute of congressional hearings  took place looking into that clearly corrupt payoff to the 'Slim Man.'

Don Jr. and Barron are cashing in on crypto scams to the tune of hundreds of millions.  Zero congressional hearings.

Amazon owner Jeff Bezos gave Melania Trump $75 million to make her execrable movie biopic that sold almost zero tickets to the actual movie-going public because most of the tickets were hoovered up by wealthy MAGA sugar daddy buyers who bought them in bulk to inflate theater attendance numbers for Drumpf's spouse.  Not one congressional hearing.

$8000 vs. $2 billion - see the difference?

$8000 vs. hundreds of $millions in shady crypto deals - see the difference? 

$8000 vs. $75 million  - see the difference?

So yeah, it's guaranteed that Eric Trump pilfering $24 million in US taxpayer money won't elicit so much as a batted eyelash from House Republicans, because as long as it's Donald Trump and his crooked spawn committing the corruption and profiting off that corruption, Republicans simply do not give a fuck.

Americans are going to be shocked when the full, horrifying extent of depraved corruption, graft, embezzling, and outright theft by the Drumpf crime family and their "friends" gets revealed after the American people have rooted him, his international mobster family, and every last one of their morally bankrupt entourage of MAGA charlatans out of our American government.

Republicans Cry Rivers of Crocodile Tears When Voters Win

Mike Johnson is another phony MAGA crud who can go pound sand in his sphincter.

 

Link:   'Boondoggle': Fuming Mike Johnson demands court strike down anti-Trump redistricting - Raw Story

 

"The GOP Speaker of the House said he expects the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn the redistricting that state voters approved on Tuesday, and that gives Democrats a chance to add four House seats in November.

"It's a hyper-partisan, gerrymandering boondoggle," Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters at the Capitol on Wednesday. "We raised a ton of money. We did our best, but the Democrats in charge of Virginia foisted this upon the people."

Johnson reminded reporters that the state's Supreme Court can still have the final say, adding that "we are confident and calling upon the Virginia Supreme Court to do the obvious and right result. That is to strike this thing down.""

 

And so now MAGA Mike and his crybaby MAGA friends will run to the Virginia state Supreme Court to try and pressure them to block the will of the citizens of Virginia.

The Republican party sure does spend an awful lot of time and expends a great deal of effort to block the will of American voters, don't they?

I won't be holding my breath waiting for MAGA Mike and his death cult of Republicans in the House to demand a similar court intervention of the redistricting in Texas where Drumpf ordered his MAGA governor buddy Greg Abbott to give the GOP more House seats in that state.

But here's the major fundamental difference between what Republicans did in Texas with their redistricting compared to what Democrats did in California and Virginia.

The Democrats put their redistricting plans in front of the voters of their respective states to be approved. The voters of those states decided the matter.

In Texas, that did not happen.  The Texas GOP unilaterally performed their redistricting with zero public or voter choice in the matter.

So when MAGA Mike Johnson starts publicly crying about how unfair the Virginia redistricting win was for Democrats, people need to tell that smarmy little dissembling shit-stain to just fuck off, and also ask him if he plans to seek court action against the Texas redistricting plan which was NOT voter approved.

Hearing all of these MAGAs screeching like banshees about what happened in Virginia the other evening is a strong sign that Democracy in the US still has plenty of life and is not going to willingly bow down to a morally corrupt political party and their child rapist leader.

Another Drumpf Cabinet Member Jumps the Sinking Ship

Well, that didn't take long.

I went and refreshed my internet pages only to see a breaking news article about the Secretary of the United States Navy, the top Navy guy, just up and resigned out of the blue this afternoon - this while the United States Navy is currently immersed in a tense war footing scenario in the Middle East.

Perhaps this is the beginning of the "bad" that Lindsey Graham predicted (see previous post) was coming with an imminent Drumpf decision: 

 Link:  'What the hell is going on?' Firestorm as Navy secretary ousted while Iran war rages - Raw Story

  

"The sudden and unexplained departure of Navy Secretary John Phelan, appointed by Trump last year, has left observers baffled and outraged, especially as war with Iran drags on with dueling naval blockades.

Writer Charlotte Clymer joked that "the Strait of Hormuz is closed, but the Pentagon unemployment line is open."

Journalist Isaac Saul criticized Phelan for having "zero naval experience or military experience of any kind," in a post on X. "He was a businessman and donor to the Trump campaign, who bizarrely got tapped to be Sec of Navy...the appointment was bad. the timing of this was worse. This is inexcusable stuff."

Some floated rumors that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth forced Phelan out."

 

I'm wondering if Phelan was either given orders by Hegseth and Drumpf that he either could not stomach issuing being that he's a non-military guy and nothing more than a crooked business crony of Drumpf, or they were illegal orders and perhaps because he still possesses a small amount of personal integrity, he resigned rather than carry out those orders.

I have an uneasy feeling that as Lindsey Graham crowed about, something very "bad" is about to burst Don and Bibi's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure wide open and there will be bad repercussions as a result for America and Americans.

With Drumpf and Hegseth Calling the Shots, "Bad" Undoubtedly Means Bad for America and Americans

If Drumpf leg-humper and war whisperer Senator Lindsey Graham is boasting that something "bad" is about to occur with Drumpf and his next move in his and Bibi's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure, perhaps the rest of ought to start paying a little closer attention: 

 

Link:  Lindsey Graham astonishes with claim after Trump call: 'Something bad is about to happen' - Raw Story

 

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made a stunning claim Wednesday after speaking with President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier that morning by phone, one that could have major global implications if proven accurate.

Graham’s announcement comes amid the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping waterway through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows. Trump ordered the blockade last week in response to Iran’s own partial blockade of the waterway to U.S.-aligned vessels.

Robert McCartney, a retired journalist with The Washington Post, voiced concern with the optimism seen in Graham’s statement.

“If Lindsey Graham is happy, then expect more war,” McCartney wrote to his more than 6,000 followers on X."

    

If Drumpf orders a full-throated ground invasion of Iran, he should be removed from office immediately and arrested for flagrantly violating the constitutional separation of powers in bypassing the US Congress and ignoring the will of the American people and involving the United States of America and our citizenry in yet another 'forever war' that will cost us dearly in money, blood, treasure and world-wide trust and take a generation to repair the damage from.

Should it come to that point,  I shudder to think of what comes next for us all.

The Blue Tide is Turning Hard Against Trumpism and MAGA is Scared - As They Should Be

Last night, the voters of Virginia chose to redistrict their state which will eliminate a few Republican seats and add them to the Dem column in Congress, and the MAGA crowd is enraged about it:

 

Link:  MAGA erupts after blue state hits back at Trump with new election map: 'Total travesty!' - Raw Story

 

"Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement melted down on Tuesday night after voters in Virginia approved a ballot measure to redraw the state's election map.

The new map will give Democrats four more seats in the House of Representatives, and was passed at a time when many in the Republican Party are expressing concern about their party's chances of retaining power in the upcoming midterm election. About 51% of voters, or more than 1.5 million people in all, supported the ballot measure, according to the election results.

Virginia is the latest state to enter the redistricting arena. Texas and California both passed new maps that effectively canceled each other out. Meanwhile, lawmakers in other states like Indiana, Florida, and Maryland have considered passing new maps."

   

Here's my message to these Republican MAGAs crying about the Virginia redistricting win for the Democrats - go fuck yourselves, every damn one of you.  Go fuck yourselves until you collapse from exhaustion from fucking yourselves.

When Drumpf urged his MAGA governor buddy of Texas Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans to redistrict their state to eliminate Democratic representation, not one of the MAGAs spoke up to denounce such an overtly corrupt power move.  Texas Republicans did not even bother to put the matter to a vote of it's citizenry like the Democrats did in California and now Virginia, they just went ahead and did it.

So yeah - fuck you MAGA Republicans if losing four seats in Virginia is too much for your delicate, right-wing sensibilities to bear.  Your greasy old child raping leader started a redistricting war that he couldn't finish, not at all unlike the Big Iran Armageddon Adventure that he started with Israel and won't be able to finish.

So if you MAGA voters have a problem with what occurred in Virginia yesterday, go talk to your dear traitor leader about it, as if he actually gives  a shit what any of you think.

Drumpf's Choice in Iran - Capitulate or Start World War 3

I suppose at this point we should just be thankful that the demented old lunatic hasn't commenced to committing war crimes or launching a nuke - yet:

 

 

Link:  Trump extends ceasefire with Iran after vowing 'to be bombing' if negotiations stalled - Raw Story

 

"President Donald Trump announced that he was extending a ceasefire with Iran just hours after he threatened to bomb the country if negotiations stalled."

 

All of these bombastic threats by Drumpf, deadlines issued and always backed off of or extended, and Drumpf's erratic public bravado tells me that Iran has the mobbed-up, old New York real-estate mobster over a barrel, and unless DonOld truly wants to unleash the hellfires of World War 3 by using nuclear weapons, he has no choice but to capitulate to Iran's terms which essentially leaves Iran with a better deal than what they had gotten with Obama, plus they will get to continue enriching uranium.  More importantly, they will continue to maintain unilateral control of the Strait of Hormuz and the shipping that passes through that critical international shipping channel.  Iran wins, Drumpf is a loser.

However, if Drumpf's inner demons, for which there are many, get the better of him and he launches nukes . . . well, I hate to say it, but it's pretty much all over for everyone.
