A Political Movement That Attracts So Many Awful People Can Never Be a Cause For Good in The World

Adding to the MAGA movement's bad week...

But here is another question that I hope we all get a clear cut answer to at some point in the not too distant future -

How is it possible for there to be so many sex offenders affiliated with one guy, Drumpf, and why are those in the MAGA movement attracted to and supportive of these creeps?

"Hollywood star turned right-wing commentator Russell Brand has been convicted of rape and sexual assault by a London jury.

Jurors at Southwark Crown Court returned guilty verdicts Thursday on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, TMZ reported. The jury found him not guilty of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault. Brand, 51, had denied all the charges.

The judge signaled that prison time is all but certain. “Obviously a custodial sentence of some length will result,” the judge told Brand after the verdict. He is scheduled to be sentenced Monday."

I'm just saying.

Several people in Drumpf's cabinet and inner circle are named in the 'Epstein Files'.

Two of Drumpf's biggest tech-bro funders/donors are named in the 'Epstein Files'.

The Tate Brothers, Andrew and Tristan are currently in jail awaiting extradition to the UK for rape and other sex crimes. They've been long-time best buds with Drumpf and his sons. 

Drumpf himself is an adjudicated rapist.  He's been accused of sexual assault by more than twenty-five women.  His name is plastered all over the 'Epstein Files', more than any other name besides Epstein himself.

I mean . . . when will it all click to Americans as to who and what these people are and the kinds of 'values' they represent?

Bye-Bye Bobo. It Was Fun While It Lasted. Okay, Maybe Not, But Bye Anyway 'Felicia'...

I do have to confess that I am a bit torn by news of this midterms casualty:

 

Link:  Lauren Boebert 'seems to be done' as vote counting ends in her biggest county: expert - Raw Story 

"Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) lost her best hope for a comeback when her strongest county finished counting votes, leaving most remaining ballots in areas her Democratic challenger is winning." 

 

 I say I feel 'torn' about Lauren 'Bobo' Boebert being booted out of Congress mostly for selfish reasons.

Ever since Bobo's dingle-berry sidekick Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) resigned from the House earlier this year after Drumpf pushed her out over Marge's support for releasing the 'Epstein Files,' the Marge & Bobo Comedy Hour show was forever broken up.

Sadly, Bobo just hasn't been quite up to the entertainment grade-level without her heckling sidekick Marge at her side, although she has had a few fleeting moments of solo dumbassery admittedly.

So yeah, with both of the boobsy twins gone now, who is left in the deteriorating MAGA caucus that can produce the level of comedic, entertaining stupidity that those two could come up with when they were in the same room together? 

But seriously - good riddance to this phony moral scold and her trashy, hypocritical MAGA values and all of the drama baggage that came with her -

Elmo Paid Half a $Billion to be Humiliated and it Was the Best Money He Ever Misspent

It will never stop being one of the funniest things to ever occur in US history that the wealthiest man on the entire planet spent upwards of a $1 billion to purchase himself a crook-friendly congress and  a state government (Texas), and voters essentially telling him to go fuck himself:

 

Link:  Elon Musk’s nearly half a billion dollars in midterms spending was a flop | Elon Musk | The Guardian 

 

"Elon Musk set a record for election spending this year after pouring nearly half a billion dollars into backing Republicans in the US midterm elections. It turned out to be a poor investment.

The SpaceX and Tesla CEO contributed at least $446m to Republican-aligned Super Pacs and groups over the course of the elections, specifically targeting several key Senate races in an effort to help the Trump administration retain Republican control of Congress. He outdid his own 2024 spending of nearly $290m. Yet as Democrats swept to power across the country on Tuesday night, it became clear that Musk would get nearly nothing in return for his hundreds of millions in spending.

Democrats won every one of the five Senate races where Musk’s America Pac spent the most money backing Republican candidates. In Texas, where Musk’s empire is based and where he directed most of his political efforts, Republicans lost the Senate race, governor’s office and are expected to relinquish control of the state house."

 

While the officially reported amount of cash that MuskRat pumped into Republican campaign coffers is around a half a billion dollars, it's speculated the amount is actually closer to $1 billion.

Imagine the good things to help better the lives of Americans that money could have been used for, and he pissed it all away in a failed attempt to buy more power and influence for himself.

That's why I have been smiling non-stop since yesterday morning as the results of these mid-terms started coming in and we have watched in real-time as Elmo's money swirls its way down the toilet drain.

What makes the humor here all the better though is how MuskRat moved his business operations out of California to Texas over the past two years because California was too "woke" for Elmo's delicate sensibilities, and as soon as he took up residence in Texas, Texas decides they don't want anything to do with him either, and turns the whole state blue in these midterm elections.  It's glorious.

Here's the lesson that our little Nazi-saluting friend Elmo has yet to learn - gobs of money can certainly buy political influence.  Money can buy favorable treatment from a corrupt government.  Lots of money can even buy individual senators and congressmen.  But no amount of cash can never buy respect, honor, or integrity and Elon Musk, even with his mountains of cash, still has none of those things.

There Has to be Consequences for Those Who Choose to Side With Evil

It's astounding watching all of these Trump administration toadies, MAGA operatives, and Trump enablers running around with their hair on fire after the midterms rout suffered by Republicans Tuesday night.

What's astounding about it is that they aren't panic-squawking about policy differences and governing strategies of the incoming Democrats.  No, they are all much more worried about who is going to get a criminal pardon from the crime family boss and who gets left out in the dark:

 

Link:  ‘People are terrified’: Panicked calls as Trump’s corporate allies fear pardons won’t come - Raw Story 

 

"Some of America’s biggest companies spent two years courting President Donald Trump. Now they are quietly bracing for a Democratic reckoning, and many doubt the president will protect them, MS NOW reported Thursday.

Lawyers who handle congressional investigations at Washington’s white-shoe firms say they have been fielding panicked calls from some companies that expect to be near the top of Democrats’ target lists and have opened back channels to the party, according to lawyers and congressional investigators familiar with the matter.

“People are terrified of the reputational issues,” said a lawyer whose clients have already been targeted by Democratic oversight. “At the end of the day, a lot of corporations don’t believe there will be a blanket pardon — they believe there’s going to be a pardon for people that Trump loves.”"   

 

"People are terrified of the reputational issues..."

Gee, perhaps these 'people' should have thought twice about that then before throwing their lot in with a lifelong con artist, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, suspected child rapist, and coup-plotting traitor, dontcha' think?

I have zero sympathies for these people and corporations who cozied up to Drumpf and MAGA, knowing full well what their agenda was.  They strategically chose to side with a criminally compromised individual who has openly expressed a desire to become America's first dictator.  Fuck them all, as well as their now crocodile fears.

The 'reckoning' that I referred to in a previous post and which is mentioned in this article is coming for Drumpf and MAGA - make no mistake about that.  Drumpf knows it. MAGA knows it.  I would strongly suggest that these outside corporations who sided with Drumpf's criminal regime start getting their criminal defense legal affairs in order.

Rebuked by America, An Angry Old Mobster Predictably Commits to Pardoning Himself and His Hench-people

Once again for the gazillionth time - if no crimes have been committed, then why would preemptive criminal pardons be needed for everyone in DonOld's employment?:

 

Link:  Post by @atrupar.com — Bluesky 

 

"Trump suggests he is going to pardon everyone, including himself: "I'm allowed to do a self-pardon ... I don't want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense."" 

 

"I'm allowed to absolve myself of all the crimes I have committed against this country and the people of this country," brays the small, angry, now irrelevant little man-child.

And isn't it quite telling that the "nonsense" that DonOld refers to is commonly known as 'justice' and 'accountability' when it comes to US and moral law?

But yeah, of course the dirty old mobster included himself in his 'Pardon-Palooza' plans.  There is nobody else who can or would pardon him for the myriad of crimes he has committed in office.

Whether Drumpf issuing a pardon for himself, an act that has never been committed by any US POTUS in the history of the nation, is legal or not remains an unresolved constitutional question, but it sounds like it's a question that an answer will be forthcoming for at some point soon.

But the mere optics of Drumpf issuing criminal pardons to himself, his crooked children and cronies, and several of his crooked administration officials should be seen and accepted by all Americans as an open confession of their guilt of having committed God knows how many and what types of crimes in office.

And as for those whom DonOld is considering pardons for - neither time or belated mea culpas will ever - EVER erase the dark stain on one's character for having received a preemptive criminal pardon from a lifelong con man, a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a suspected child rapist, and a traitor to this American nation.

Frankly, imho, people's careers in US politics should be ruined for eternity if they accept one of these pardons from the diapered orange gangster in the White House, and they should not be allowed anywhere near our government ever again, either as part of government, or doing business with it.  Period.  (And you're damn right that includes Elon MuskRat)

MuskRat Bet the Farm on MAGA and Now His Farm is in Foreclosure

This asshole had better start setting aside some of his wealth to hire some top-flight criminal defense lawyers for himself: 

 

Link:  Elon Musk sulks after blowing $400 million on GOP midterm wipeout - Raw Story

 

"Elon Musk spent more than $400 million trying to stop a Democratic wave, and woke up the morning after Election Day to find his money had bought him almost nothing.

The world’s richest man, now the largest individual political donor in modern American history, poured his fortune into Republican Senate and House races through a network of super PACs, but Republicans lost both chambers anyway, reported the Washington Post.

Early Wednesday, Musk lamented the results, posting, “Data centers in space looking pretty appealing right now,” and joking that his “election-interfering space lasers” had failed.

The sting was sharpest in Musk’s adopted home state of Texas. In the race’s closing days, he attacked Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, claiming he wanted to “open the borders” and “abolish democracy” and that he “will vote to trans your kids.” Musk sent $168 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, much of which flowed to a PAC backing Republican Ken Paxton." 

  

MuskRat wagered his undeserved, ill-gained wealth on the wrong horses.

Not only did Elmo's chosen horses all come in dead last, but the party that he has single-handedly been underwriting for the last few years also suffered a catastrophic defeat and has had their congressional political power taken away.

The message to Musk and Republicans is simple and unequivocal - take your mountains of dirty cash, your fascist ideology, and your bought and paid for MAGA political candidates and go fuck yourselves into extinction.

Make No Mistake - American Democracy is Alive and Well, And is Coming For it's Enemies

BOOM!

And there it is: 

 

Link:  Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeats Greg Abbott in Texas governor race | AP News 

 

"AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Gina Hinojosa was elected the first Democratic governor of Texas in more than 30 years on Tuesday, ousting Republican incumbent Greg Abbott and catapulting a decided underdog to the helm of what has long been the nation’s most populous red state.

She will become Texas’ first Latina governor — and the first Democrat to hold the office since Ann Richards in the 1990s — following a groundbreaking victory that topples one of the nation’s most prominent Republican governors and steadfast supporters of President Donald Trump, possibly accelerating the state’s shift to an emerging battleground.

Her victory was part of an electrifying night for Democrats in Texas, where James Talarico also won election, defeating Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate."

  

You will find no clearer sign of just how badly Drumpf and his party got the shit kicked out of them last night in the midterm elections than seeing what happened in the deep red state of Texas.

Incumbent MAGA Republican and Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick loses to the Democrat.

Current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton loses his US Senate bid to a Democrat.

Incumbent MAGA Texas Governor Greg Abbott loses to the Democrat putting a Democrat in the Texas Governor's mansion for the first time in over three decades.

A clean sweep of Texas for the Democrats.

The Democrats also have retaken control of both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.

Such an occurrence in Texas would have been unthinkable a couple of years ago.  But then along came Drumpf, part Deux, and the rest is now history and so is the cowardly and corrupt Republican party.

What occurred yesterday was that a lot of better Americans went to the polls and an unmistakable majority of those better Americans made it clear that we have had enough of DonOld's shitshow and Republican cowardice.  And they did so with a total and comprehensive rebuke of Donald Trump and his MAGA goons, as well as those weak-kneed Republicans who refused to stand up to them.

Now comes the reckoning part of this story, a story which incidentally is no way near being over because this story does not end until DonOld Drumpf is removed from office and the execrable MAGA movement is shoved back under the rock it crawled out from under.

Let's get to work now America, and put Donald Trump and MAGA in our rearview mirrors and leave their asses in the dust.

When More Than Half Your Own Troops Don't Trust You, It's Time to Go

Had there existed a list of the 1000 worst Americans who could be considered to be the absolute worst choices to put in charge of the entire US military, Pete Hegseth would have been at, or very near the very top of that list, I damn well guarantee it:

 

Link:  Pete Hegseth Makes Over Half the Military Want to Quit Early | The New Republic 

 

"The Trump administration’s hyperpoliticized military environment apparently has thousands of active-duty military members looking toward the exit.

A survey by Common Defense Civic Engagement, a grassroots veterans organization, found that 53 percent of active-duty service members want to leave because their service is becoming more politicized." 

 

Peter Brian Hegseth has no business being where he is at and doing what he is doing.  

Hegseth is a right-wing 'DEI hire' disgrace, and the fact that more than half of the current rank and file would rather leave the service than continue serving under him should be seen as a huge red flag for troop morale and readiness.

Let's be clear - Pete Hegseth is more of a big talking, loud talking "culture warrior" than an actual warrior - in other words, the exact kind of person most professionally-trained soldiers would prefer not to have next to them in a combat trench.

Drumpf hired the manifestly unworthy Hegseth because DonOld does not give a flying shit about our military or our troops, and the fact that he installed a high-strung, performative, ethically compromised, Fox "news" weekend talk show co-host with a drinking problem in charge of the entire US military instead of a qualified, experienced leader is proof enough of that.

If Democrats retake control of Congress on Tuesday, one of the first orders of business of the new Congress is to impeach and remove Pete Hegseth from our government and send a message to Drumpf that there's new management in Washington, D.C., and they're not fucking around.

Tuesday, November 3, 2026 is Judgment Day for Drumpf and MAGA - Let's Vote Them Off the Island

JfC, MAGA's crocodile tears act truly has grown interminably wearisome, you know what I mean?

Ten years of this stupid, seemingly endless bullshit from these people.  It is long past time to put an end to this scornful, insufferable nonsense.

What Drumpf has taught these bozos who support him sadly, is that if you just make a big enough public scene, stamp your feet and beat your chest, and respond with malicious lies while screaming, "RIGGED!!," every time an election or a court ruling doesn't go your way, it becomes fairly easy to sow doubt about the integrity of the legal and electoral systems in the public's mind over time.

And nothing benefits an aspiring dictator more than a populace that is distrustful of their own nation's justice and elections systems.  Those kind of people and their fears are easily exploited and manipulated for nefarious purposes, and that is what we see going on with Drumpf right now as he desperately tries to keep his MAGA 'protectors' in power in Congress.

But, tomorrow is the day that Americans have a golden opportunity to take a big step forward and begin the long overdue process of ridding our politics of this viral, toxic disease that goes by the name of MAGA:

 

Link:  ‘It’s all rigged!’ MAGA erupts after yet another Trump DOJ prosecution collapses - Raw Story 

 

"MAGA figures erupted in outrage Monday after a federal judge dismissed criminal charges against two former FBI officials accused of lying to Congress about investigations involving Hunter Biden.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui threw out the case against Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, finding prosecutors had failed to establish probable cause. He described the prosecution in his ruling as critical of the Trump DOJ as political “weaponization.”

The decision on the eve of the critical mid-term elections unleashed a wave of fury from prominent supporters of President Donald Trump, who accused the judiciary of protecting Democrats."

   

Shorter MAGA:  WAHHHHH! THE MEAN OLD JUDGES ARE "PROTECTING DEMOCRATS!  WAHHHHHHH!!...

Umm, no.  The judges are following the letter of the law and making decisions based on that and that alone.  Why is that such a difficult concept to grasp for the MAGA chuds?

This is no different than the 65+ judges who ruled on the merits of the law and letter of the US Constitution in ruling that Drumpf and his lawyers had no evidence and no legal standing to challenge the outcome of the 2020 election, an election that Drumpf lost, and knew that he had fairly lost to Joe Biden.

American judges in American courtrooms across this country right now are once again standing up for the rule of law and the letter of our constitution by keeping Drumpf and his lawless regime from committing crimes to advance their corrupt agenda.  It's that simple.

That is why DonOld and his corrupted toadies in his corrupt DOJ keep losing case after case and also why citizen grand juries keep refusing to indict people whom Drumpf and Toad Blanche have targeted for retributive prosecution.

MAGA wants a dictator with unlimited power running the country.  That quite simply stated, can never be allowed to take place.  It would portend the literal demise and ultimate death of the United States of America and the freedoms as we have known them.

Let MAGA scream and whine and pout all they fucking want about these court cases that Drumpf and his DOJ keep losing.  Tomorrow is the day that sane America finally takes a stand and silences the incessant, graceless, obnoxious caterwauling of these performative MAGA crybabies with our collective vote to remove them and their kiddie-diddling cult leader from power and restore some semblance of responsible adult leadership to the American people's White House and Congress.

Drumpf's Closing Midterms Message to America: 'Vote For My Malignant Narcissism'

Drumpf held a last minute rally today in front of the D.C. Reflecting Pool that he and his Mar-a-Lardass pool cleaning buddy ruined, and rather than providing Americans with an update on how he plans to extract the US from his failing, flailing Iran war and fix the economy that he broke, the phony old traitor instead chose to brag about and pimp his 'big, beautiful' new Nazi-inspired 'Triumphal Arch' which is the sister vanity project to his 'big beautiful' Nazi-inspired ballroom:

If better Americans are allowed to have a say in the matter, the embarrassing 'sniper' and 'drone' armed monstrosity that the filthy old mobster wants to build and force upon the country and force taxpayers to pay for, a structure which will cast an enormous shadow over Arlington National Cemetery as well as the Vietnam Memorial Wall, not only will never be built, but if by some crook of fate it does get built, it will most certainly be torn down and relegated to the trash heap of history after the old kiddie-diddling despot has been removed from power.
