God Save the Souls of Our Soldiers if Drumpf Puts Their Boots on the Ground in Iran

True to asshole form, Drumpf doubles down on calling the military personnel and their family members liars for speaking out about the purported horrible living conditions onboard the US Lincoln which has been deployed abroad for nine months, with the past six months in the Mid East as one of Drumpf's toys in his sandbox war with Iran.

These are the folks DonOld says are lying:

 

Link:   Families of USS Lincoln sailors say Trump should be ‘ashamed’ : NPR

  

"WASHINGTON — Families of sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are condemning President Trump's comments on the ship's record deployment.

A U.S. defense official not authorized to speak publicly told NPR the USS George Washington is en route to relieve the USS Lincoln, which has been at sea for nearly nine months. 

Trump was asked by reporters Friday whether the USS Lincoln's deployment had gone on too long.

"No, not nearly long enough," Trump said.

His comments come amid reports of food shortages, plumbing problems and declining mental health among crew members. There have even been some reports — which NPR has not been able to independently confirm — that sailors have attempted to jump overboard.

Karen Bramlett's grandson is on the ship. She asked NPR not to use his name for fears he could face repercussions or harassment from the military.

Bramlett said she is able to communicate with her grandson via Instagram about once a week.

"He's saying he's good mentally and physically, thank God," Bramlett said. "But he's just depressed. With the conditions over there you really can't blame him."

Bramlett said her grandson enlisted in the Navy about two years ago. She said it was a dream for him.

"But now he's like, he just can't wait to be done," Bramlett said. "Those dreams have been shattered."

"Donald Trump needs to be ashamed of himself to let them suffer the way that they're doing," she continued. "They're over there fighting for our country. And this is the thanks they get? They can't even get help from him or his administration.""

     

What does it say about Drumpf and Hegseth's handling of this USS Lincoln situation that the grandmother of a US sailor would be fearful that the military her grandson serves in and her own POTUS would seek reprisal against her grandson by her speaking out on this matter?

No sentient human should be shocked to learn that a guy who has a history of making denigrating comments about the US military and US military personnel, and who himself is a serial Vietnam War draft dodger might not give much of a shit about the well-being of American soldiers who he has put in harm's way.

This is who Drumpf is. He is an unfaithful, uncaring, narcissistic pos, and the people who still worship and support him are also supporting his reckless and damaging behavior toward our nation's military readiness and toward the safety and well being of our men and women in uniform.

SCOTUS Ruling Confirms Lower Court Judgment That DonOld Drumpf is an Adjudicated Rapist

The United States Supreme Court has confirmed with perfunctory finality that DonOld Drumpf is indeed, a rapist:

The filthy old, kiddie diddling mobster has been fighting the E. Jean Carroll judgment for more than three years, all the way to the US Supreme Court, in a scummy attempt to deny Carroll the money awarded to her by the courts after it was determined during the trial that Drumpf had sexually assaulted (technically rape per the court) Carroll when he cornered her in a NY department store dressing room years ago and jammed his little Cheeto fingers into her vagina.

Not only is what Drumpf did to Carroll considered 'rape' in most jurisdictions in this country, it also gives proof to DonOld's own past claim, the one he made to Billy Bush in the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape, that he randomly sexually assaults women by "grabbing them by the pussy."

This is the raping, serial sex offender pig who Ma and Pa MAGA worship, and in a sane world that really should tell us all everything we need to know about the so-called 'moral values' of those who are embedded in that execrable movement.

Drumpf Betrays Yet Another Long-Time US Alliance

What a perfect way to finish the weekend than with Drumpf stabbing yet one more long-time democratic ally of the US in the back to appease another of his communist dictator "friends":

 

Link:  'God help us': Alarms sound after Trump's latest military maneuver - Raw Story

 

 

"President Donald Trump stoked alarm on Sunday after he adhered to a foreign dictator's demands to reduce U.S. military exercises with South Korea.

Trump announced on Truth Social that he had directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to reduce the scale of the joint military exercises conducted between the U.S. and South Korea. The move came just days after North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un described the exercises as a threat to his regime, and promised to escalate retaliatory threats in response."

 

Drumpf is taking orders from his dictator pals now, and no matter how hard his enablers and brain-dead defenders try to spin this, it does nothing to change a reality that is becoming increasingly clear - namely that Donald Trump is a traitor to this country.

The dirty old mobbed-up felon turned his orange hump back on Ukraine and is trying to remove the US from NATO to appease Russia's Putin.

Now he is sucking up to yet another murderous dictator, North Korea's Kim Jong Un and letting that brutal thug killer dictate US policy towards South Korea. 

I will say it again today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, and all of the days henceforth until the end of time.  DonOld Drumpf is a traitor to this country and he is taking America and the American people to a very dark and very un-American place, and his continued treasonous control of our government is going to end badly for a majority of the people living in this nation.

If They Don't Care About the Well Being of Soldiers and Their Families, Why Would They Care About You and Yours?

The malignancy of this pathetic loser's execrable presidency grows more malignant by the day, and that malignancy is incurable:

 

YouTube Video Link:  'Oh my God!' USS Lincoln sailor's wife rips Trump over 'infuriating' remarks

Raw Story Link:  'Oh my God!' Wife of USS Lincoln sailor 'infuriated' after Trump accused families of lying - Raw Story

 

I am going to quote a fairly large portion of this article only because the exchange between CNN's Jake Tapper and the woman whose family member is aboard the USS Lincoln is so remarkable - not so much for the fact that the lies of Kegseth and Drumpf are being exposed in real time, but also because the tone of the woman's ire was directed right at the Commander-in-Chief and his utter failure and dereliction of duty in that role:

 

"A U.S. service member's wife had a blunt response on Friday for President Donald Trump after he dismissed reports of poor conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln, even as families expressed serious concerns about their loved ones.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper spoke with the unnamed woman, who shared that she could not identify herself over concerns for her husband's safety and career. Tapper asked what her reaction was to Trump's remarks after the president said he did not think the deployment was "long enough." Nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines have been deployed on the warship for nine months in the Arabian Sea during the Iran war.

"Oh my God! I don't think the man thinks before he talks," she said. "I was really hoping that at some point there would be a redemption. Try to redeem yourself at least a little bit with everything that you do and everything that you say. Have some empathy. Take some accountability for what's going on with your military, your ships, and your war. It's infuriating."

She slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Trump for their comments dismissing the reports of deteriorating conditions and low morale among the troops.

"What the president is saying today, essentially saying that families are lying and service members are lying, even though the proof is right here on my phone, it is not fabricated," she said. "Nobody is lying."

She criticized the Trump administration for not showing sympathy for service members "that they claim to scream and shout that they support when it's politically sound for them to use, 'support our troops, support our troops' until our troops need support. And now suddenly everyone's lying. And it's a fabrication and it's a misrepresentation.""

 

Drumpf is accusing American soldiers who he has put in harm's way and their families of lying about horrible living conditions and plummeting morale among 5,000 military personnel aboard a major US aircraft carrier at a time when he is posting AI slop on his social media site depicting himself giving long dead President George Washington a personal tour of his glittering new, gold gilded, billion dollar taxpayer-funded ballroom where he plans to hold balls of some sort presumably.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aside from the balls of Vladimir Putin that Drumpf currently fondles in his pudgy little orange hands, my guess is that the only other kinds of 'balls' that Drumpf will be holding in his new gold-gilded ballroom will be the kind of "balls" where dirty, self-enriching deals are cut to put more money in his and his family's dirty bank accounts.

I honestly and truly do not know what it will take to open the eyes of those who still believe Drumpf gives a damn about the lives of American military personnel any more than he gave a damn about the lives of his staff, the media, and flight crew members who accompanied him on his Qatari Force One jet (QF1) on his recent trip to the NATO summit in Turkey, where after receiving intel from the Israelis of an Iranian threat to blow up the plane on takeoff, DonOld sneaks off the plane, hiding in a catering truck, while leaving everyone else aboard QF1 as sacrificial lambs should the Iranians follow through on their threat.

That is Drumpf's same attitude toward our soldiers.  Sacrificial lambs if he dictates it to be so.

With Every Passing Day Drumpf's Regime Inches the US Closer to Becoming a Militarized State

I needed a few days of physical and mental health distancing from commenting on the Disunited States of DonOld Drumpf, so a short sojourn to the outback with Mrs. Gadfly for a couple of days, or what's outback for us in our elder years, was just the trick to soothe my savage brow.

And good thing I am soothed too, as coming back to the news cycle and reading about this story is enough to shoot the old blood pressure level right back up the chart:

 

Link:  Immigration experts floored after devious motive behind ICE’s ‘sadistic’ plan exposed - Raw Story

 

The Department of Homeland Security plans to spend $20 million to equip Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with gloves that can deliver an electric shock, and a law enforcement officer’s recently unearthed admission left multiple immigration advocates stunned on Saturday.

... 

“Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they [don't] leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively,” Reichlin-Melnick wrote Saturday in a social media post on X.

Thomas Kennedy, a Florida-based writer and immigration advocate, was also left stunned by Glueck and Couey’s remarks, calling it “sadistic stuff.”

“The gloves ICE wants to purchase for tens of millions of dollars that can deliver electric shocks allow the wearer to inflict pain without leaving the sort of marks that look bad to witnesses or leave an officer vulnerable to lawsuits,” Kennedy wrote Saturday. “Sadistic stuff.”

   

Yeah, unsurprisingly, you count me firmly on the side of NOT giving $20 million of taxpayer funded human torture toys to the guys that are running around like masked death squads in our states and cities kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to human rights abusing concentration camps, and who are responsible for the unwarranted shooting deaths of American citizens in broad daylight with no repercussions from the lawless agency and lawless chief-executive they work for.

These goons are actually trying to convince you that they need $20 million more of your tax money to purchase "gloves" that are essentially nothing more than small five-finger, electric cattle prods, in order to arrest the kind of people they have mostly been arresting so far, which are non-violent, mostly non-criminal immigrants, many of them women and children.

So yeah, a big, loud FUCK NO to giving the over-testosteroned, trigger-happy bullies and goons like the one in this recent incident in Virginia additional ways to inflict harm against humans:

Carolina Molina says the encounter happened Monday afternoon in Baileys Crossroads. 

Molina is a licensed counselor who works with immigration lawyers, conducting psychological immigration evaluations for their cases."

 

Considering the fact that these 🧊 I * C*  E🧊 shitheads are arresting mostly non-violent, non-criminal immigrants, and a great many of them are women and children, I think a fair argument could be made to not only deny their request to spend $20 million for electric shock "gloves," but also to take away their fucking guns from them as well.

The additional fact that they have already unjustly shot several non-criminal immigrants and lied to the public and courts about those incidents, and also the glaring fact that they have murdered US citizens in our streets in broad daylight should be a clear motivation to NOT give these assholes $20 million of taxpayer funded electric shock "gloves."

It's Not a Matter of 'If' Drumpf Will Interfere in the Midterms, But to What Extent He Will Do So

He has been telling us for years that he wants to rule the United States of America as a 'dictator.'

That is still the plan of the filthy old mobbed-up Kremlin asset:

 

Link:  Trump Blurts Out Vile Plot to Steal Midterms as GOPers Grow Unnerved | The New Republic

 

"While interviewing Donald Trump, a MAGA media personality urged Trump to consider declaring a national emergency to seize control of our elecctions. Trump’s response was ugly. “Let me just say that stranger things have happened,” Trump said. “I’ll leave it at that.”

In other words, Trump wants it understood that declaring a national emergency absolutely is being considered.

This comes as Politico reports that Republicans are privately bracing to face Trump’s “wrath,” now that the Senate has gone on recess without passing the voter suppression legislation he wants. Republicans fear he’ll erupt at them anew over this in coming days.

In short, Trump is intensifying his search for ways to rig the midterms or steal them outright."

 

Mark these words.  Drumpf is going to try and interfere in the November midterm elections, and my guess is that efforts are already being implemented as these words are being typed to that end.

DonOld and his team of MAGA crooks and con artists are not going to allow a fair and free election to ruin their plans to help Drumpf realize his dictatorial aspirations.

All the more reason to vote in numbers so large this November that the MAGA cheaters will have no choice but to be outwardly brazen in their election ratfucking attempts, and if they choose to go that route, it will be up to the American voting public to resist their un-American attempts to 'Putinize' our American elections.

There's Unabashed Cowardice and Then There's DonOld Drumpf

For those who are aficionados of scandalous intrigue at the highest levels of government, it doesn't get any more intriguing than this:

 

Link:  Trump Abandons Air Force Crew, Secret Service, Press And His Own Staff As Expendable Bait | HuffPost Latest News

  

"WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump last month abandoned Air Force One crew members, Secret Service agents, journalists and his own White House staff to serve as decoys against a possible attack from Iran while he secreted himself away from danger — despite the existence of alternatives, aviation experts said.

In a remarkable episode detailed by the Washington Post, Trump left last month’s NATO summit in Turkey via an airline catering truck that let him escape Air Force One and board a smaller jet for the flight to England. 

 

He then clandestinely reboarded the craft at Mildenhall Air Base, disembarking in view of the cameras to climb onto his preferred air transport, the luxury 747 he solicited from the Qatari royal family that lacks the missile defense systems of the purpose-built Air Force One 747s. 

Multiple White House officials failed to respond to HuffPost queries on the topic, and the Air Force referred all questions on the matter to the White House.

The 13 members of the press “pool” aboard Air Force One were unaware that Trump was not aboard — the entire reason for their being there — until the Post published its article. It is unclear how many of the two to three dozen Air Force crew members aboard and the unknown number of Secret Service and White House staff were also unaware of the deception.

It was also unclear why Trump chose to potentially endanger all those people — possibly 100 or more, depending on how many White House and Secret Service staff were aboard — rather than choose another option."

Let's see if we can condense this story into a straightforward, unambiguous explanation of what seems to have gone down here: 

Drumpf wanted to show off his sparkling gold, shiny new jumbo jet that his Qatari oil sheikh pals "gifted" him, for which I shall from this moment forward refer to as 'Qatari Force One, or 'QF1' for short.

DonOld was very excited to strut in front of foreign dignitaries at the NATO summit in Turkey with his luxuriously bedecked new QF1 jet that US taxpayers have paid more than a $billion - so far - to retrofit, and so he decided to take it on the NATO trip to Turkey.

But just like DonOld did with rushing the job for the reflecting pool repairs by giving one of his skeevy pool maintenance buddies down in South Florida a $6 million taxpayer funded, no-bid contract to to do the job which resulted in predictable failure, DonOld wanted so badly to show off his shiny new toy to European elites that he jetted off for Europe without it having been outfitted with any anti- surface-to-air missile defensive capabilities as the actual Air Force One is equipped with.

As Scooby Doo's pal Shaggy would say, "Zoinks!"  Right? 

So DonOld and QF1 fly into Turkey.  As they are about to depart Turkey for England, along comes Israel (making this story only more suspicious) to inform DonOld that they had intel of a plot by the Iranians to assassinate Drumpf by shooting down QF1 while Drumpf was in it, presumable upon take-off or landing somewhere.

So what does our dashing hero DonOld do?

He boards QF1 in Turkey along with his staff as normal procedure along with Secret Service, media people, and the flight crew.

As QF1 is waiting on the airport tarmac, DonOld is secretly spirited out of the plane into a waiting food catering truck that is parked beneath QF1, where he is hidden inside the catering truck and driven to a nearby military aircraft to be taken to England, where he reboards QF1 after it had departed Turkey and landed in England.

Apparently none of the SS, press/media, and flight crew who remained on QF1 for it's flight from Turkey to England knew that Drumpf had been taken off the plane on the tarmac in Turkey.

None of them were informed of the security threat to the plane they were about to take off in by Drumpf or his people.

QF1 took off from Turkey and thankfully landed safely in England where dashing DonOld then re-boarded.

Once again, as Shaggy might say, "Zoinks!"

Not a day goes by that the cowardly old kiddie diddling mobster doesn't come up with novel new ways to make people despise and revile him even more than they already do.

The MAGA Offspring Apples Don't Fall Far from the MAGA Moral Values Apple Tree

Perhaps MAGA politicians like Lauren Boebert who seem to take great pleasure in publicly boasting of their Christian bonafides and reminding the rest of us of their superior faith beliefs, should spend less time lecturing dirty liberal hippies like myself about God and faith, and more time raising their children to be better human beings:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Link:  New details emerge in child exploitation case against Lauren Boebert's son - Raw Story 

 

"Newly released court records are filling in the case against Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who was arrested Sunday on three felony charges of sexual exploitation of a child.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Denver Post, the investigation began in 2024 with a Safe2Tell report that sexually explicit videos involving minors had been posted to an Instagram account. Investigators allege that one 43=second video recorded in early 2024 showed Tyler Boebert, then 18, having sex with an underage 17-year-old girl. He is accused of producing, possessing, and distributing sexually exploitative material.

Boebert, of New Castle, was released the same day after posting a $10,000 bond. He faces three counts of sexual exploitation of a child and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, all felonies, and is scheduled to appear in Garfield County District Court on Aug. 19.

In 2024, Tyler Boebert pleaded guilty to attempted identity theft after a string of vehicle break-ins. He faces two sentencing hearings next month in separate cases." 

 

Typically I wouldn't waste valuable blog space on a story about a MAGA politician's sex criminal offspring, but Lauren Boebert is a special case. 

Boebert has been using her Republican congressional position to shove her Christian piety act down the public's throats since she appeared on the MAGA scene with Drumpf's ascension to the White House.

Boebert herself has been caught up in multiple embarrassing public morality situations which seriously call into question her aggressive commitment to the religious values she incessantly and profusely expresses love for.

Here's a novel concept Republican voters - stop electing performative moral frauds like Lauren Boebert to public office.  That is the most surefire way to avoid embarrassment and shame to your political party that inevitably comes with having these losers in public office.

Uday and Qusay Drumpf Pad Their Bank Accounts While Americans Pay More for Everything

Republicans in Congress spent more than five years holding multiple congressional hearings and spending millions of taxpayer dollars investigating $8000 that Joe Biden lent to his son Hunter Biden to purchase a pickup truck, and chasing the contents of a doctored laptop containing pictures of the younger Biden's exposed penis on it.

Five years.  Multiple congressional hearings.  Millions in taxpayer money spent.

Now - contrast that with this:

Drumpf's unscrupulous spawn are cashing in 'big' and 'beautifully' on their old man's position of power.

Both of DonOld's boys are involved up to their eyeballs in scummy crypto deals and have ties to MULTIPLE companies who have suddenly been gifted with billions in US government contracts.

Yet Americans haven't heard a peep from this Republican-controlled congress on these matters of clear familial corruption occurring deep within the bowels of the American people's the White House.

Not one single hearing has been held looking into these matters.  Not one single Republican has called for any hearings or investigations into this braze, out in the open corruption by Drumpf and his family.

One can only conclude that Republicans in Congress are rubber-stamping the sleazy activities of the Money Launderer-in-Chief and his crime family because they really don't give a shit about corruption in government unless it's a Democrat involved in that corruption.

DonOld Drumpf and the White Trash Trashing of the American People's White House

Drumpf posted this picture on his own social media site a few days ago boasting about his "big beautiful ballroom" construction progress, construction which is currently in direct violation of a court order:

 

 

Link:  Post by @helenkennedy.com — Bluesky

 

Look at the size of that monstrous fucking "ballroom."  It dwarfs the actual White House by at least triple the footprint.

And he is going to emblazon it inside and out with some of the gaudiest, tackiest, gold decor that any depraved, dictator-aspiring mind could conjure up, and you Mr. and Mrs. Taxpaying American get the privilege of footing the bill for Donny's vanity project.

He is also tearing up the formerly beautiful green White House lawn to construct a big fucking cement helipad just so he can step out of Marine One helicopter and only have to walk 15 feet to enter the White House or his "ballroom."

It's all so depressing and sickening to watch this pig's ugly, forced transformation of our nation's capitol into his own vulgar, classless version of his sleazy Mar-a-Lardass compound in Florida.

He is so disgusting, as are his supporters.
