American Workers Struggle to Survive While Billionaires Profit off Those Struggles

It's interesting to see how the wealth gap in this county is always accelerated whenever a Republican is in the White House.

You would think that after 45+ years of Republican's massively failed 'trickle-down' theory of economics American workers would have figured it out by now just how badly they have been betrayed and hurt by GOP policies over time:

 

Link:  Workers are getting a shrinking slice of America’s economic pie | CNN Business 

 

"American workers’ piece of the economic pie is shrinking. By one official measure, their slice is the smallest in almost 80 years.

The labor share of income, which is the amount of economic output paid to workers as compensation, fell to 52.8% earlier this year, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows. That’s the lowest-ever level, according to BLS records that go back to 1947.

“It’s really telling you that workers have less and less power in this technology age and certainly in the AI age,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “The rewards, the financial gains, are mainly going to shareholders, to the owners of the capital and less and less to your typical W-2 worker.”" 

 

Then you have this mendacious, AI-promoting piece of shit spending half a billion of his ill-deserved wealth attempting to literally buy himself a congress:

 

Link:  Elon Musk spends over $442 million in midterm elections 

 

"Tech mogul Elon Musk has spent more than $442 million in the midterm elections, after pouring another $76.8 million into his super PAC over the past month, campaign finance filings show.

America PAC, which Musk launched during the 2024 elections, received the influx of cash from the SpaceX and Tesla CEO over the course of about a week in October, according to the super PAC’s last filing before the midterms.

This comes on top of the $366 million he had already spent so far on the upcoming elections. He gave a combined $276 million to his super PAC and various Republican groups in the three-month stretch between July and September alone."

 

Apparently, MuskRat is of the belief that  half a $billion of his wealth would be enough to purchase a Congress that is beholden to himself and his "friends." 

Frankly, I think America is better than Elon Musk.  I think Americans are going to kick Musk and his corrupt, un-American, bought and paid for political movement (MAGA) to the curb in these midterm elections one week from today.

Go vote and make it happen.

As the Old Saying Goes - Sex Offenders of a Feather Flock Together...

He just keeps finding new ways to embarrass this country to the entire world:

 

Link:  Donald Trump praises Nicki Minaj’s ‘beautiful ass’ during rally speech: ‘It’s hard to miss’

 

"President Donald Trump made a lewd comment about Nicki Minaj's anatomy during a Michigan rally appearance.

"By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before — Nicki Minaj," Trump said behind the lectern at Port Huron's McMorran Place Arena. "That's hard to miss."

Trump was referencing another derriere-related compliment he gave to Jon Husted, a Republican Senator from Ohio, which recently went viral."

 

First off - the President of the United States of America openly leering at and lusting for a black woman* entertainer's professionally sculpted ass - what an inspiring role model for America's children, amiright?

What makes this latest episode of Drumpf's public vulgarity with Nicki Minaj's ass all the more ironic is that he is cynically using Minaj as some kind of spokesperson to promote voting for Republicans in the midterm US elections, and he has even dispatched Minaj to go on Fox "news" and praise himself and MAGA.

And that brings us to the irony part because they are exploiting Minaj's fame knowing full well that the following are true statements:

🚫 Nicki Minaj is not a U.S. citizen.  She cannot vote in these elections.

🚫 Nicki Minaj's husband is a U.S. citizen and also cannot vote in these elections because he is a registered sex offender.

🚫 Nicki Minaj's brother is not a U.S. citizen.  However,  were he a U.S. citizen, he would not be able to vote in these elections because he is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for child rape.

Therefore, is it really all that surprising that someone who is surrounded by sex criminals has thrown their support behind another prolific sex criminal?

No, it's not.

 

*I mention Nicki Minaj's skin color knowing how racist most of Drumpf's cult are just to rattle their cages - in the event anyone is wondering...

And when it does, those Americans who helped put him back in to office in 2024 are going to be shaken and shamed to the core of their souls - at least those who still have souls will be, anyway.

 

Link:  7 jaw-dropping claims in new Epstein report accusing Trump of ‘brutal’ rape - Raw Story 

 

"House Judiciary Committee Democrats on Monday released a 52-page staff report accusing President Donald Trump of being “an active participant” in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the 1990s, and accusing his Justice Department of covering it up.

The unsigned report draws on survivor interviews, FBI files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and passages that Democrats say DOJ is improperly keeping redacted.

Here are seven of the report’s most explosive claims."

    

Go read the report at the Raw Story link if you care to read about the new claims.  A lot of truly awful, sickening stuff.

But then, we are talking about a guy who has a documented history of sexual assault allegations, was caught bragging on tape about randomly "grabbing" women by their vaginas, was adjudicated by a court of law to be a rapist, and who has in the past openly and publicly mused about having sex with his own daughter.

So there is all of that, you know?

Sigh ...... 

Some day if arterial plaque buildup (aka 'Atherosclerosis') prevails, our country will be free of this decaying, rancid old, Putin-fellating mobster, but until that day arrives, the malodorous stench of Jeffrey Epstein's child rape and sex trafficking criminal debauchery will continue to emanate from the American White House.

What Kind of Person Has Child Rapists as "Friends?" And Should Such a Person be Elected to High Office?

It will never stop being unbelievably flabbergasting to me that one of Drumpf's all-time biggest supporters and enablers, Marjorie Taylor Greene, turned on him earlier this year over the issue of his administration blocking the release of the 'Epstein Files,' and essentially ratted the old kiddie-diddler out when he told Marge in a private phone conversation  that he was blocking release of the remaining 'Epstein Files' because he didn't want to see any of his "friends" get hurt:

 

Link:  Marjorie Taylor Greene claims Trump said 'my friends will get hurt' on Epstein files

 

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) claimed in a New York Times profile that President Trump said his “friends will get hurt” by exposing abusers connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

According to the story told by Greene, she received a call from Trump after she said at a news conference that she would expose the names of men who abused victims of Epstein. The news conference came after a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee closed-door meeting with women victimized by Epstein.

Greene said Trump called her after the news conference to express his unhappiness. The Times reported that people could hear Trump yelling at Greene as she talked to him over a speakerphone.

Greene said she told Trump she didn’t understand his intransigence, per the Times.

“My friends will get hurt,” the president said in response to Greene, she said to the outlet."

 

DonOld's "friends" would be hurt if all of the information contained in the more than three million files from the Jeffrey Epstein child sex-trafficking case that he and Toad Blanche are illegally keeping from Congress and the American public were to be made public.

I mean --- think about what Drumpf was saying when he told that to Marge on that call, assuming Marge is being truthful of course, and I have no reason to believe she wasn't in this case.

But, I am pretty certain that most sentient people understand what Drumpf meant when he told Marge that his "friends" would be hurt if the names of those individuals and the stories of how they came to be associated with a well-known, notorious child sex-trafficker like Jeffrey Epstein became public.

And I am also pretty certain that Marjorie Taylor Greene understood it just as well, which I believe also accounts for why she is now a very vocal anti-Trumper.

So, what do I personally understand DonOld's statement to mean?  Well, let's just think about this and analyze some of the publicly known evidence that is not in dispute for a moment, mkay? 

Jeffrey Epstein didn't just like women who, as Drumpf himself once said, "are on the younger side."

Jeffrey Epstein liked young girls.  As in young children girls.  And he preyed on these young girls.  And he raped many of them.  He sex-trafficked many of these girls to wealthy, powerful and famous men.  He would have spent a lot of felony time in jail in Florida for it had he not cut an "unprecedented," 'sweetheart' deal for a reduced, laughable sentence orchestrated by a guy who Drumpf later made his Labor Secretary.

Drumpf's relationship with Epstein spans the years that Epstein was known to be most active in plying his child sex-trafficking trade.  In fact - Epstein himself has said that he and DonOld were "closest friends" for more than a decade during that time period.  That's why there were so many photos and videos of Drumpf partying with Epstein and his child sex-trafficking co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and hanging out with them in the public domain even before he announced his run for POTUS in 2015.

It has been credibly reported that Epstein introduced Melania to Drumpf after Epstein had groomed and recruited her from Eastern Europe (Slovenia).

Epstein mysteriously and conveniently died in a federal detention center after Drumpf had his DOJ arrest him.

Jeffrey Epstein's stench is in every dark corner, every dank nook, and every musty crevice of DonOld Drumpf's execrable world.

Is the picture getting any clearer as to who and what the sitting American POTUS is kids (uncouth pun intended), and the types of "friends" he has?   😑

The Mission of Drumpf's Department of Justice is to Mock, Obstruct, and Undermine Justice

I have no doubts that Drumpfs criminal defense attorney Toad Blanche, who DonOld hired to pose as his United States Attorney General, is headed to prison at some future date.

You can only cover up so many crimes by a traitorous POTUS before the burden of whitewashing that devious activity catches up to you:

 

Link:  Bombshell report flags possible crime in Trump DOJ’s Epstein ‘cover-up’ - Raw Story 

 

"House Judiciary Committee Democrats accused Attorney General Todd Blanche of possibly committing “criminal obstruction of justice” to protect President Donald Trump from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, and they are now calling for an independent special counsel to investigate both of them.

The allegation appears in an unsigned staff report of more than 50 pages that lays out what Democrats call “the case against Donald Trump emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ’s desperate efforts to cover it up,” reported MS NOW.

“Attorney General Blanche may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump,” the report says."

  

This is probably the most complete reason why Drumpf and his handlers are terrified of Democrats retaking power in the House and Senate.

The Republicans know very well that Drumpf has committed massive corruption in office during his second execrable term, and that they are going to be investigated at some point.

But where the real terror comes into play is Americans finding out the real reason why Drumpf and his "friends" are frantically desperate to keep the remainder of the 'Epstein files' from being released to the public, and DonOld's unsavory crimes during his nearly two decades as Jeffrey Epstein's 'best friend' being looked into any further.

Toad Blanche much have an awful lot of confidence that Drumpf and the Republicans will prevail somehow in these elections to be thumbing his nose at anyone daring to question his loyalty to the law, to the constitution, and to this nation.

Let's hope Mr. Toad's confidence is woefully misplaced.

There is 'A Huge Problem' in the White House And It's Not the Growing Size of DonOld Drumpf's Ass

The amount of self-enriching corruption by Drumpf will eventually be revealed to be the worst and most egregious on record in the history of this country without exception:

 

Link:  ‘A huge problem’: Trump has traded more stocks than all of Congress combined. A Bush-era ethics lawyer explains why you should worry 

 

"President Donald Trump has made more securities trades since returning to office than every member of Congress combined.

According to a Bloomberg analysis published this week, he has made roughly 28,700 in 17 months, or about 80 trades every market day.

It's a new habit of Trump's. In his first term, Trump's financial disclosures consisted mostly of his real estate and privately held businesses.

For his second term, the periodic reports he filed through early 2026 showed an account buying municipal and corporate bonds—more than $100 million by August 2025 and more than $337 million in all—along with bank preferred securities and bond ETFs.

The stock trading surfaced in May of this year, when a first-quarter filing listed roughly 3,600 transactions in 90 days. Then the annual disclosure, released June 30 at nearly a thousand pages, showed more than 21,000 trades in 2025, worth between $600 million and $1.86 billion, at 85 per market day. Trump lists eight separate investment accounts but doesn't give any indication of which institutions manage them.

"I believe that that is a huge problem," Richard Painter, who served as chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush and now teaches securities law at the University of Minnesota, told Fortune. "I've gone through every president. I don't think we've had any president trade in the stock market."" 

 

What makes this activity all the more suspicious is that Drumpf and his protectors refuse to provide any details on which company is supposedly managing Drumpf's shady stock portfolios:

 

"In May, after the stock trades appeared, White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fortune the assets are held in a trust managed by the president's children.

Eric Trump posted that any suggestion a family member was buying individual stocks "would be a lie and blatantly false." 

"There's a financial conflict of interest if he has an ownership interest in the account," Painter said. "It doesn't matter who manages it."

In a statement, the White House's Ingle told Fortune that third-party financial institutions independently manage the portfolio through "computer-based model portfolios that automatically replicate recognized indexes, such as the Schwab 1000."

He did not answer questions about which institutions manage the portfolio or why the White House described a family trust in May. "There are no conflicts of interest," the statement said." 

 

Lol.  Fucking hilarious.

I have to laugh because of just how openly dirty it all is, and because of how it is being gotten away with now that the nation's top law enforcement official is mob boss DonOld's loyal consigliere.

Seriously though, in no reality-based world that I am cognizant of would the kind of brazen corruption that Drumpf and his family and "friends" are immersed in ever . . EVER . . have been tolerated had it been being done by a Democratic, or even another Republican POTUS for that matter.  Ever!

Think of how the reporting on this story played out for a moment.

First, one of Drumpf's White House spokesperson quislings (perhaps inadvertently) reveals to the 'Fortune' reporter that Drumpf's prolifically-traded stock assets (85 trades PER DAY to the tune of $1.86 Billion) are being managed by his ne'er-do-well, grifting spawn - you know - these parasites:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Then one of those spawn, Eric 'The Lesser' Drumpf, gets wind of the story, and vociferously objects to being fingered in his father's financial crimes and he issues a public denial of it,  calling his father's White House spokesperson a 'liar.'

Eventually, they just end up giving some bullshit statement that the assets ($1.86 Billion) are being "independently" managed by some unknown, un-named "third-party" institution which purportedly uses a commonly used computer software program to manage stock portfolios.

Essentially what they are saying to everyone with that bogus response is, "there's nothing to see here folks, move along now - and mind your own fucking business while you're at it..."

Crooks.  All of them.

Another Exciting Episode of: That Rarest of Creatures - Republicans Who Dare Defy DonOld

This pretty much makes it official.

Alaska's conservative (traditional) Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski essentially confirms that the last second election-related lawsuit Drumpf ordered his corrupt DOJ to file against that state is a crock of shit: 

 

Link:  GOP senator blows Trump-ordered election lawsuit out of water: 'Should never have filed' - Raw Story

 

"Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) has a blunt message for President Donald Trump’s Justice Department over its lawsuit in her home state’s Senate race: stay out of it.

“Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot,” Murkowski wrote on X Friday. “The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit."

She attached an Associated Press report headlined “Trump says he ordered the Justice Department’s lawsuit over Alaska’s US Senate race.”"

  

Suffice to say that I would trust Lisa Murkowski's judgment on what is best for her state and her constituents way more than I would ever trust the claims coming from DonOld Drumpf or any of his compromised DOJ apparatchiks.

Good for Murkowski for taking a stand against the dirty old, mobbed-up, dictator wannabe.
