Its Not Just American Doctors Looking to Flee Drumpf's Despotism

Someday, maybe, but doubtful... the Ma and Pa MAGA's of our world will acknowledge that having a government that is hostile toward science, toward medicine, toward the truth, toward reality, toward our laws, toward our constitution and toward democracy, not only does NOT Make America Great Again, it actually makes us not very much better than your run-of-the-mill, tyrannical, third-world shithole, albeit one with nukes.

All of the Fox "news" manufactured bullshit talking points can't hide the reality that is going to hit these Drumpf voters when the talented Americans of science, medicine, technology, the Arts and education begin fleeing the US because of threats to their institutions, their livelihoods, and even their personal freedom from Drumpf, Elmo and MAGA.  Just wait until that exodus of talent begins to adversely impact their communities and lives.  Granted, most of these MAGA diehards are nihilists anyway and as long as Drumpf is hurting the people they hate the most, they don't give a shit if they themselves get caught up as victims of their hero's oppressive wrath.  Its that way because that is pretty much how cults work.

"Michael is among a new wave of doctors who are leaving the United States to escape the Trump administration. In the months since Trump was reelected and returned to the White House, American doctors have shown skyrocketing interest in becoming licensed in Canada, where dozens more than normal have already been cleared to practice, according to Canadian licensing officials and recruiting businesses.

The Medical Council of Canada said in an email statement that the number of American doctors creating accounts on physiciansapply.ca, which is "typically the first step" to being licensed in Canada, has increased more than 750% over the past seven months compared with the same time period last year — from 71 applicants to 615. Separately, medical licensing organizations in Canada's most populous provinces reported a rise in Americans either applying for or receiving Canadian licenses, with at least some doctors disclosing they were moving specifically because of Trump."

A 750% increase the number of US doctors applying to relocate to Canada.

Why??

"Immoral and un-Christian" are MAGA Mission Statements

"The Big Beautiful Bill" put forth by Drumpf and MAGA Mike Johnson is literally the act of putting nail studs in the heels of the boots that are already pressed hard against the necks of working Americans.  And those boots are being worn by the billionaires and multi-millionaires who this Republican party actually work for.

What's that you say Ma and Pa MAGA taxpayer?  

DonOld Drumpf and the MAGA congress critters work for you?  

You really think so?  

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Get a fucking grip already, mkay you guys?

At some point you Drumpf supporters are going have an authentic come to Jesus moment when it finally dawns on your dim bulb brains just how badly you are letting Drumpf and these MAGApublicans screw you and your families over 10 ways from the sabbath day.

Uncle Donny's 2025 Pardon Palooza Tour!

It is utterly exhausting trying to keep up with Drumpf's brazen and remorseless engagement in broad-daylight corruption.

I have heard it said that misery loves company.  Well, if the past few weeks have been any indication, apparently so do convicted felons.

Pardoning all of the violent January 6th felons and terrorists wasn't enough to satiate Drumpf's penchant for granting freedom to some of the worst people in this country.

Just in the past month the filthy old, diapered mobster has issued unconditional pardons to:

Ross Ulbricht: a scumbag who was unanimously convicted by a jury of his American peers, in an American courtroom on multiple counts of engaging in a criminal enterprise, narcotics conspiracy, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to commit computer hacking.  He was also believed to be involved in plots to commission murder for hire.  The seriousness of this dirtbag's crimes earned him a lifetime prison sentence.

Michele Fiore: a MAGA Republican from Nevada who was convicted by a jury of her American peers in an American courtroom of stealing $70k from a memorial fund set up for a slain police officer.  She used the money to pay for plastic surgery for herself - I mean, seriously folks, you will not find a poster-child story more suited for telling you what kind of morally degenerate charlatans that most of these MAGA politicians truly are than this one.  She was awaiting sentencing.

Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins: this guy betrayed his law enforcement oath and was convicted by a jury of his American peers in an American courtroom of a dozen counts of conspiracy, fraud, and bribery and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

And just today:

Todd and Julie Chrisley: these two con artists had a "reality" TV show which apparently wasn't earning them enough to live their lavish, 'celebrity' lifestyles and so they turned to a life of crime and after having been caught committing tax evasion and bank fraud, were convicted by a jury of their American peers, in American courtrooms and respectively sentenced to 12 and 7 years in prison.

Link: (see above)

And now all of these crooks and losers are free - free thanks to Uncle DonOld's pardon, to go out and commit more of the very same crimes they committed which got them convicted and imprisoned in the first place.

And pray tell what are the common denominators of all of these now seemingly bountiful criminal pardons?  

Don't overthink it.

It's simple.

They are of white, publicly known people who have been and are open supporters of the convicted felon and rapist in the White House.  That is it.  That is the single criteria that Drumpf has for releasing these miscreants from their publicly and lawfully mandated criminal punishment.

And this is why I don't ever again want to hear a fucking word from any of you conservative Republicans on the subject of "Law and Order" and accepting responsibility for one's crimes.  Not.  One.  Single.  Word.  Your concerns in those matters clearly aren't worth the phony bullshit they are delivered with.

The end of the era of MAGA and Drumpf will come some day, that much is certain.  Despots and their cult movements always fail in utter disgrace.  And rest assured that when it does, there is going to be accountability and some long overdue reckoning.

'Just Hurry Up and Die' - MAGA Rep's Message to All Decent Americans

Former 'InfoWars' host Alex Jones was sued by the parents of the kids slaughtered in Sandy Hook elementary school after years of harassment, stalking, threatening, and public slander against those deceased kids and their families by Jones himself and his mentally unhinged followers.

Oh, and I refer to Jones as the "former" host of InfoWars because Jones lost that lawsuit to the tune of $1.5 billion and he and InfoWars were forced to file for bankruptcy and liquidate that pond scum operation in 2022.

But it doesn't surprise me that Jones is openly lusting for a cancer-stricken Joe Biden's death.  What does continue to surprise me to no end is the number of people in this country who have the gall to consider themselves decent human beings while being active followers of such a low-life piece of shit like Jones.

"Jones admitted hoping never to have prostate cancer, describing it as "a hot coal shoved up your rear end."

"Breast cancer plagues women, especially with the glyphosate and all that literally grows it," he opined. "Glyphosate also grows prostate cancer on record. Another little horrible thing the globalists give us, that's why prostate and breast cancer is way worse, thousands of percentage worse than it was 40 years ago if they rolled that c--p out."

"Oh, here, Joe, we care about you," he added. "Let's just pat you on the back. Here you go. Won't that old son of a b——h just hurry up and die?""

The formula is quite simple here.  Those who worship and promote an individual who is a moral monster and a literal piece of Nazi shit are telegraphing to the whole world the failings and indecency of their own moral values.

Notes From the Latest Meeting of Corrupters Anonymous...

This is how some of the shady crypto bros arrived at Drumpf's $1 million dollar a plate dinner at his shitty golf motel.  They have to hide their faces because that is what shady people do:

Link: The Tennessee Holler: "“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…" — Bluesky

Drumpf and his White House have refused to publicly divulge the identities of all of these people paying $1 million for a salmonella-laden dinner at his golf motel, laughably claiming that the dinner is being held on his "personal time," and therefore nobody's business.  Bullshit.  He is the President of the United States of America.  He has no personal time.  And if he is meeting with people who are giving him money to influence our government for quid pro quo considerations, then we sure as fuck deserve to know who these people are.

Apparently the New York Times has procured a copy of the guest list to this grifter's paradise event and will be publishing something about it shortly and I am guessing there will be a preponderance of names of Chinese origin on that list, but it really does go to show just how much in your face corruption MAGA allows Drumpf to get away with when we all know fucking well that they would be raging and sputtering with blood-curdling anger and vitriol were it a Democratic POTUS doing it.

I am so sick of these greedy, morally bankrupt losers ruining our country.

Greenland's Middle Finger to Drumpf

DonOld and his wimpy sidekick JD Vance pissed off the people of Greenland so deeply that they went and cut a mineral mining deal with Europe instead of the US.

This is how it starts.  The long-time, solid international alliances that the US had with it's long-time allies are being ripped apart by Drumpf and his cabal of fascist henchmen as they embrace despots like Putin, Orban, Kim, the Saudis, etc.

Greenland's minerals deal with Europe is a swift kick to Drumpf's nuts to let him know that he can take his plans to usurp Greenland's sovereignty and shove them up his rotund, gelatinous ass.

Link: Greenland Signs Lucrative Minerals Deal with Europe in Blow to Trump - Newsweek

"Greenland has allowed a Danish-French consortium to mine a rock which is key to the production of aluminum.

The permit granted to Greenland Anorthosite Mining (GAM) to extract anorthosite follows interest in the Arctic territory from U.S. President Donald Trump in acquiring the autonomous island which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

GAM, which is backed by French company Jean Boulle Group and real estate investment firms bodies from Denmark and Greenland, was granted a 30-year permit, Reuters reported."

Look for more of this kind of embarrassing rejection to occur as Drumpf continues his dismantling of our traditional democratic alliances around the world.

The New Mission Statement of Drumpf's FEMA: GFY

North Carolina Ma and Pa MAGAs just learned the hard but predictable lesson of what you get when you pledge your loyalty to someone who could not give less of a shit about loyalty, and secondly to someone who has infinitely more important business on his agenda such as accepting $400 million jumbo jets and $5 billion dollar golf deals from Arab oil sheiks, and hosting $1 million a plate dinners with the worlds shadiest crypto mobsters.

What's that I hear Ma and Pa MAGA in North Carolina?  Your home and community have been wiped out by a natural disaster and local and state resources are lacking and you need Drumpf's FEMA, what skeleton crew remains of it after job purges by DonOld and Elmo, to come to your aid?

Here is the very direct, unambiguous answer to your pleas from your dear leader: 

"We don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wipers! We fart in your general direction!"

Rule of Law in Drumpf World: 'Secrets' = Crimes Being Committed

For every Republican and MAGA person who tried to convince us that a Drumpf administration would be more transparent and open with the American people than a Democratic administration headed up by Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, just kindly go fuck yourselves you very foolish, very thoughtless, very naive people.

The ONLY reason Drumpf has gone running to the highest court in the country to keep the results of Elmo's slash and burn rampage through our nation's governmental agencies hidden from public view is to cover up massive wrongdoing and likely criminality.  You know it.  I know it.  We all know it.

Liz Cheney was absolutely right when she said that the day will come when Drumpf is no longer in our American lives, and all that will remain for his supporters, his enablers, his co-conspirators, and his voters will be a whole hell of lot of shame and dishonor for themselves.

No Lipstick in the World Can Beautify DonOld and MAGA's Pig of a Bill

Do you want to know why they call it Drumpf's "Big, Beautiful bill," folks?  It's because there is absolutely nothing beautiful about it.

You have to remember that these MAGA Republicans are masters at slinging fear-infused bullshit propaganda and lowbrow sloganeering.  The words that come out of their mouths rarely if ever match their actual deeds and actions.

Just like when the say they want to, Make America Great Again."  They don't really mean it.  These people could not give less of a flying shit about America's image and reputation in the world.  If they did, they wouldn't be sucking up to a guy who has alienated America's traditional allies and is openly and embarrassingly fellating Valdimir Putin and the Arab oil sheiks.

And the same goes for when they call themselves the "Freedom Caucus," lol, so fucking fake.  Freedom is a double-edge sword word to MAGA Republicans.  They love to toss that word around and claim that they are all for "freedom," as long as that freedom only applies to those who look like them, think like them, vote like them, and worship a convicted felon and rapist like them. Otherwise, freedom is  just a throwaway word in their actual world and lives.

Link: Trump's big GOP tax bill helps billionaires, not us | Opinion

"America’s status as an aristocratic oligarchy arrived in the form of a dumbly-named piece of legislation – the “Big, Beautiful Bill” – that was passed in the early morning hours by House Republicans who wouldn’t spit on poor people if they were on fire.

President Donald Trump, architect of the bill’s embarrassingly stupid name, and his billionaire donors and cabinet members, along with the whole of the GOP, fully showed their tuchuses with this massive domestic-policy bill. It helps the rich. It balloons the deficit Republicans claim to care so deeply about, to the tune of $3.3 trillion over the next decade. And it hurts the poor, cutting billions from Medicaid, Medicare and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that many rely on as a lifeline.

It’s the clearest expression yet from this administration that it cares only about adding comfort to the comfortable while further afflicting the afflicted, pulling the curtain back on the faux-populism of Trump’s MAGA con."

This bill is going to drastically complicate and make more miserable the lives of millions of Americans if it is signed into law in its present, execrable form.  That is not an exaggeration.

Let's start with the least human harming aspect.  This bill literally explodes the nation's debt, adding trillions to it, which gives the lie to Republican's fake concern-trolling about the country's debt.

This bill literally takes away food from poor communities and poor kids.  

This bill will increase health care costs and will throw tens of millions off of their current ACA healthcare plans, with ABSOLUTELY NO safety net planned for them.  They are essentially on their own.

This bill takes money away from the VA.  

This bill takes money away from Medicaid, and thanks to last minute, middle of the night ratfucking by Republicans it now looks like it would also blow a $500 billion dollar hole through Medicare as well, the program that the vast majority of elderly Americans rely on for their healthcare.  

This bill will make it harder for Americans to collect social security and forces us to work more years of our lives to get it.

You know, I often hear these conservative Republicans, because of their abortion stance, refer to themselves as "pro-life" and it just flabbergasts me to no end how phony it is.  Apparently that is the only fucking area where they truly give a shit about human life, is when it's a microscopic zygote in a woman's womb.

It sure as shit doesn't seem to bother these "pro-life" folks that more living, breathing kids will go hungry because of this bill.  It doesn't seem to bother them that more Americans will die prematurely because of lack of access to affordable medical care.  There doesn't appear to be much concern on their part about the elderly being treated like garbage after working their entire lives and expecting a little bit of dignity in retirement and being shit upon with attempts to take away social security, their financial lifeline, and make them work more years for it.  The pro-lifers certainly don't seem to mind that Elmo and the Saudi's orange piss bucket boy are trying to destroy the social security administration and of course Social Security, the most successful earned benefit program in US history, along with it, which has been a longtime right-wing conservative wet dream btw.

And it goes without saying that they don't seem to mind that their orange god has sold his rotten, decrepit, charcoal soul to a coven of Mid-East oil sheiks, including the ones where fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers and mass murderers of Americans came from, in exchange for giving them more influence over the governing affairs of America and it's people.

If they get their way with this anti-human, anti-American bill, the United States of America will indeed very likely become Drumpf's kleptogarchy.  And like George Carlin once wisely noted about kleptogarchies, it's a very special club, and it's a special club that you and I, and yes, even you dumbasses in MAGAville are not invited to.

Wise up before it's too late folks.

You Put Clowns in Your Cabinet, You Get a Circus in Your Cabinet

Let's be honest here, mkay?

Kristi Noem is head of the US Department of Homeland Security for the very same mobbed-up reason that Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are at DOJ.  And also for the very same reason that equally obsequious apparatchiks like Pete Hegseth are at Department of Defense, Marco Rubio at the State Department, Linda McMahon at Education, Tulsi Gabbard at National Intelligence, RFK Jr. at HHS, Howard Lutnick at Commerce, Doug Collins at the VA, etc., etc., etc....

Every single one of them is manifestly unqualified for the high-level positions that Drumpf nominated them for, yet the cowardly Republican eunuchs in the senate pushed their nominations through anyway.

Not one of these clown college nominees has shown any public interest in governing their respective agencies and institutions with any recognizable degree of responsibility or seriousness.  And the reason for that is simple.  They aren't there to competently manage those agencies as per the oaths of office they swore.  No, they are there to literally destroy those agencies and institutions from within, and the easiest way for them to do that is to first purge anyone in the department who fails to demonstrate a sufficient amount of loyalty to the mafia boss, regardless of whether that purge jeopardizes the mission of those agencies and brings harm to America and the American people.

Once the disloyal (aka honest, law-abiding) staff are removed, Kristi Noem and her friends will then have free reign to perpetrate even more damage to their respective institutions at the request of their mob kingpin, convicted felon leader in the White House.

The GOP's Paycheck-to-Paycheck Society is Killing the American Dream

This article is a year and a half old, but the underlying story of how 45 years of Republican 'trickle-down economics' has left more than half of working Americans on the edge of financial ruin has not changed, and if anything has gotten more dire in the era of Drumpf.

The Republican party has spent the better part of the last five decades chipping away, no, hacking away with a large axe, at every single government policy that benefits hard working, tax paying American workers, their families, and their communities.

When Drumpf came along with his wannabe dictator routine, the GOP cynically saw an opportunity to bum rush a reeling, pandemic ravaged nation and push through all the worst aspects of their execrable, wet dream political policies as they had outlined them in the jizz-stained pages of their fascist manifesto labeled 'Project 2025.'

I liberally use the term 'jizz-stained' when referring to Republicans and 'Project 2025' because you just know these morally corrupt cocksuckers were furiously jacking themselves off while reading through all of the proposed policies that they know will gratuitously wreck human lives.  These hateful, conservative assholes get their rocks off on hurting people and watching them suffer.

Link: 60% of Americans are still living paycheck to paycheck

This intolerable situation where more than half the country is a pink slip away from economic devastation will never change for the better until Americans pull their heads out of their asses and recognize the sad reality that the Republican party is not, never has been, and never will be their friend, much less their savior, and in fact is their most threatening, true enemy.

I Prefer a POTUS Whose 'Friends' Aren't Bone-saw Butchers

Drumpf is in tight with the bone-saw murdering Saudi oil sheiks.  BFF's and all of that, you know.

DonOld himself on multiple occasions has told us openly of his love for the Saudis, their love for him, and the beautiful "business" relationship he has with them.  The very first country he visited abroad in his first term in office was, you guessed it, Saudi Arabia.  And now in his newest term, the first three countries he chooses to fly to and pay American respects to are all Mid-East, Arab nations whom he and his family are in bed financially with, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

And the funniest thing about all of this is that Ma and Pa MAGA just sit there like lumps on a log watching as their beloved leader scores himself big money deals with all of these Arab countries, including the country that provided 15 of the 19 hijackers who attacked the US on September 11, 2001, because they have been hopelessly conned by charlatan.

Essentially, these are the barbarians who Drumpf and his crooked family are snuggling up to:

Drumpf is selling out his MAGA base right from under their brain-dead noses.  He co-opts their blind rage and manufactured anger and uses it as cover for his own sleazy, self-enriching business dealings with some of the most horrible and evil people on this planet.  Worse yet, he is selling out America and the American people and what little remains of America's prestige.

This is who Drumpf is.  He's a crook and traitor.  End of discussion.

Let's Do More Than 'Start Talking' About It, Lets Earnestly Plan For It

Are we a nation of laws borne of our constitution or not?  It's a simple yes or no question.

If indeed we are a nation of laws, then you're goddamn right that now is a good time to begin talking about legal accountability for this constitution and law shredding dictator wannabe and his henchmen.

Link: Let’s Start Talking About Jail Time for Trump and His MAGA Enablers | The New Republic

"Trump 2.0 has been a remarkable speedrun into lawlessness, a testament to the fact that there might have actually been some adults in the room during his first term. (During which time he still fomented an insurrection and got impeached twice!) Now, freed from those guardrails that were once upstanding, he’s rocketed into a new level of infamy. I once held that George W. Bush’s reign was much more costly than Trump’s. No longer; his return has truly been a thing apart. As TNR’s Alex Shephard documented this week, Trump’s trip to the Gulf States has been a vertically integrated grift, in which the president has racked up more corrupt enterprises than most politicians manage in their whole careers.

This week’s skullduggery is, of course, just one brief crime spree among many. Over at The Nation, Jeb Lund lays down the lengthy rap sheet that Trump has written for himself in his first 100 days. The Trump administration has heisted the private data of millions of Americans, unlawfully terminated thousands of federal employees, extorted law firms and businesses and broadcasters; they’re gaming the markets, raking in corrupt money with crypto-tokens, kidnapping people and exiling them to foreign prisons without due process, and much much more. As Lund notes: “The question is not whether Trump and his people committed a crime while you read that last sentence but how many.”"

Drumpf's corruption-palooza, vengeance tour is going to end badly for a lot of people, first and foremost for Drumpf and his cabal of usurpers, and I am most definitely including Elmo in that category.  It is also going to end badly for millions of Americans who never in their lifetimes imagined a nefariously-plotted coup of the type these guys have engineered coming to fruition and bringing the country to the brink of totalitarianism and likely civil conflict in resistance.

The Madness of Would-Be King DonOld!

This was the President of the United States of America yesterday and today, posting public comments on issues that are clearly and foremost at the top of his mind as leader of the free and democratic world.  That was purposely mediocre sarcasm by the way. 😶

Why the blimpy old orange turd is still pissing and moaning about Tayler Swift is beyond me.  I thought that drama played out long ago after the election ended along with Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris.  If anything this just shows what a vengeful old cunt DonOld is.  And I will only beg slight forgiveness for using the C-word here in reference to the 47th president, but Merriam-Webster's Thesaurus could not provide a single synonym, so cunt it is.  But this is classic DonOld retribution.  He gets his old, gelatinous, piglet pink butt hurt and holds deep grudges against anyone who refuses to suck up to him and pay him the homage he mistakenly feels he deserves.

And now, after iconic American rocker Bruce Springsteen said some admittedly unkind, albeit truthful things about the DonOld the other evening kicking off his tour of Europe, Drumpf is using his position as America's chief executive to threaten Springsteen on social media.  Seriously - wtf??

Donald John Trump is not a well person folks.  Those of you who are still in denial about this bald-faced reality are co-conspirators in doing lasting damage to our nation's ideals and principles, our society, our democracy, our livelihoods, our health, and our actual freedoms by letting this bozo who is unfit to lick the ass of Joe Biden's dog Major continue in his capacity as not just POTUS, but also as a world leader. 😶

"Then we'll all see how it goes for him!"

Imagine the supposed "leader of the free world" issuing a public threat like this to someone of Springsteen's very public status, warning him to "KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT," and then threatening him with possible retaliation when he re-enters the US, his own country.

The filthy old mobbed-up tyrant is playing with fire if he thinks the millions of fans of Swift and Springsteen are going to sit quietly by while he slanders and threatens them.

What amazing times we live in with this delirious, banana republic madman in our White House... honestly, I am at a wits end loss to understand it all.

"Olympic wrestling champion Kyle Snyder has made his first public statement since his arrest in an Ohio prostitution sting last week.

In a post on X on Wednesday, the 29-year-old said he would lean on his faith and family, but did not directly address his arrest. “I want to thank everyone who has reached out with kindness and support. My focus is on my relationship with the Lord Jesus and my family. This is not conclusion of my journey. 1 Peter 4:17-18,” he wrote.

The bible passage he referenced reads: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

Snyder’s arrest came after during a police operation aimed at reducing prostitution in Columbus, Ohio. Snyder was arrested in a hotel room for engaging in prostitution. He was released from custody at the scene, and is due to appear in court on 19 May."

Kyle Snyder is the poster child for who too many American conservative males have become.  All-American, flag-waving, God and Family, bible verse spouting in their public personas, and shameless hypocrites in their private, reality-based lives.  Its both amusing and tiresome to ALWAYS see guys like Snyder run for cover behind the cloak of their cherished religion and the God whom they clearly disdain and only find use for when their immoral behavior has gotten them into legal jeopardy.  After his prostitution sting arrest Snyder says he is going to "focus" on Lord Jesus and his family.  Uh-huh.  Where was that "focus" as he was plotting his rendezvous with what he believed to be a hot-assed little prostitute?

Snyder is a Drumpf acolyte, apparently, and Drumpf appointed him to his Fitness Council.  As such, it is interesting to note that Drumpf himself has a history of paying for sex, as well as taking it by force or other deviant means.  Kyle Snyder clearly was just emulating the moral values of the individual who he and MAGA have become worshipers of.  See how that works Ma and Pa MAGA?

MAGA is a cult of personality movement.  There is no credible debate about that amongst sane humans.  And they have shown us over and over that there are very few if any actual honest to God, decent and scrupulous human beings in the leadership ranks of their movement.  That being the case, our entire society sadly, is going to wind up with a lot of Kyle Snyders emulating the moral values of felonious pigs like Drumpf.  What is more than just a tad scary about that is that these Trumpublican worshiping guys are also serving as family unit role models for the unfortunate children they have procreated and are raising up into the world.

Here's some take it or leave it advice to our MAGA brethren - clean up your own moral values backyard first before criticizing or attacking anyone else's moral values backyard, mkay?  Gracias for coming to this Gadfly Ted Talk.

"It is corruption," No Matter How Deep in Denial Drumpf Supporters Are

Now you all know why Elmo forked out $300 million of his bankroll to help propel the dirty old, raping, Putin-fluffing mobster back into the White House.

Drumpf is using the prestige and power of his US Presidential office to literally bully other countries into giving money to Elmo's corrupt companies.

We have clearly defined, unmitigated corruption on a mass, UNPRECEDENTED scale occurring right now, today in the US White House and the people who played a role in letting this happen (MAGA, GOP) are silent as fucking church mice.

And this is why I have zero respect for MAGA voters and Republican politicians.  You can't spend four years running around with your hair on fire screaming about Joe and Hunter Biden's dirty $8,000 truck loan between father and son, but look the other way at the brazen fraud and scumbaggery on a grand, international scale going on in Drumpf's White House.  Shit doesn't work that way in the real world.

"Since Trump’s inauguration, the State Department has intervened on behalf of Starlink in Gambia and at least four other developing nations, previously unreported records and interviews show.

As the Trump administration has gutted foreign aid, U.S. diplomats have pressed governments to fast-track licenses for Starlink and arranged conversations between company employees and foreign leaders. In cables, U.S. officials have said that for their foreign counterparts, helping Starlink is a chance to prove their commitment to good relations with the U.S.

In one country last month, the U.S. embassy bragged that Starlink’s license was approved despite concerns it wasn’t abiding by rules that its competitors had to follow.

“If this was done by another country, we absolutely would call this corruption,” said Kristofer Harrison, who served as a high-level State Department official in the George W. Bush administration. “Because it is corruption.”"

Link: Pam Bondi Sold Trump Media Stock the Day Trump Announced Tariffs — ProPublica

Who is going to investigate, and if probable cause is found, prosecute her?  She is the highest "law enforcement" officer in the country.  Lol.  Pam Bondi's brazen corruption will get swept under the rug and out of the media spotlight before Drumpf can get himself involved in yet another impeachable offense.  You can count on it.

This is an arrogantly lawless regime.  They are thumbing their noses at not just our laws, and our constitution, but every single American citizen who does follow our laws as well.  The removal from power of these hoodlums must happen if the survival of the freedoms that 250 years of constitutional government have afforded us is to occur.

It's going to take years to undo the damage and prosecute all of the crime being committed by Drumpf and his MAGA co-conspirators.  Let's just hope we still have a functioning, law and order, constitutional democracy remaining in place to ensure that accountability takes place once these hoodlums posing as a government are at long last deposed.

The time is coming when every person in this country is going to have to openly pick a side and either choose to actively defend democracy or acquiesce to MAGA's fascism.  As Indiana Jones was somberly advised - "choose wisely."

MAGA's War on American Kids Shifts in to High Gear

Another example of the kind of selective cruelty that we have come to expect from the party of "family values" and "moral values."

Of course the punchline to this sad joke is that the modern-day conservative movement (aka MAGA) is in all actuality, a morally bankrupt, intellectually bankrupt, and spiritually bankrupt cult of personality bandwagon that worships a slick-talking, convicted felon con man and rapist.

And just know that these hateful Republicans are doing this while simultaneously plotting to transfer a massive amount of this nation's wealth to the wealthiest tax-cheating Americans via ever-expanding tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

These GOP scumbags would rather take away food from 7-year old kids than make guys like Musk and Bezos pay their fair fucking share of taxes to the country that enabled their path to a life of wealth and luxury.

This insidious MAGA movement gets uglier, crueler, and less Christian-like by the day.  The day of this movement's downfall will come, of that there is no doubt.  And when it does arrive, I sincerely hope the fallout from it utterly destroys the lives of it's most prolific promoters and propagandists.

They're Not Even Trying to Hide Their Massive Graft and Corruption Anymore

Apparently accepting a $400 million Boeing 747 jumbo jet, and a $300 million golf deal for his sleazy golf motel as "gifts" from some shady Mid-East oil sheikhs wasn't enough of an impeachable offense for the filthy olf mobster.  He has now turned back to his old friends the Chinese and their money spigot for getting even more dough stuffed into his greasy pockets.

Drumpf is just openly mocking his own supporters now.  

At a time when DonOld and his crime family are raking in all of these big cash deals with international scofflaw nations, he and Elmo are looking for reasons to kick elderly Americans off of Social Security and Medicare, working with MAGA Republicans in Congress to drastically slash Medicaid, defund education and schools, slashing Veterans benefits, and essentially seeking to eliminate any government program and agency that benefits Average working Americans instead of the parasitic billionaires and tech-bros who are bleeding this country dry like the vampires they are.

Link:  Tiny Company With China Ties Announces Big Purchase of Trump Cryptocurrency - The New York Times

"But on Monday, GD Culture Group became the latest business with foreign ties to seize on Mr. Trump’s crypto venture, which channels profits directly to the Trump family and has generated conflicts of interest that have alarmed ethics experts. (Memecoins like $TRUMP are a type of cryptocurrency based on an online joke or celebrity mascot and have traditionally not had any utility beyond speculation.)

In its statement, GD Culture Group, which is traded on the Nasdaq, said it would spend $300 million on a stockpile of Bitcoin and $TRUMP, using proceeds from a stock sale to an unnamed entity in the British Virgin Islands, a popular tax haven. It confirmed that investment plan in a securities filing late Tuesday.

The purchase would create clear ethical conflicts, enriching Mr. Trump’s family at the same time that the president tries to reach a deal that would allow TikTok to keep operating in the United States rather than face a congressionally approved ban."

I don't' ever fucking again want to hear a Republican complain about the corruption of Joe Biden, or even his son.

EVER!!

DonOld Drumpf's Sheikhdown of the Qataris

Even more corruption in broad daylight by the Drumpf crime family.  DonOld and his offspring have now got another big payday deal going on with the Qataris, and it is also being reported that his two ne'er-do-well male spawn are dipping their greasy beaks into the crypto scam honey pot.  It's estimated that in just under four months in office, Drumpf's family wealth has increased by $3 billion.  How does someone who has arguably the world's toughest and most intellectually taxing job in the world leading the planet's only superpower have so much free time to devote to massively increasing his own wealth?  More importantly, why the fuck is it being allowed to happen?

Link:  Trump Organization strikes deal for luxury golf resort in Qatar | AP News

"The Trump family company struck a deal Wednesday to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar in a sign it has no plans to hold back from foreign dealmaking during a second Trump administration, despite the danger of a president shaping U.S. public policy for personal financial gain.

The project, which features Trump-branded beachside villas and an 18-hole golf course to be built by a Saudi Arabian company, is the first foreign deal by the Trump Organization since Donald Trump took office and unlike any done in his first term. Back then, he forswore foreign deals in an extraordinary press conference surrounded by stacks of legal documents as he pledged to avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest.

Noah Bookbinder, president of a watchdog group that has sued Trump for alleged ethics violations, blasted the Qatari deal.

“You want a president making decisions that are in the best interest of the United States, not his bottom line,” said Bookbinder, who leads Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington."

Anyone believing that the Qataris aren't getting something in return for their "gift" of a $400 million Boeing 747 jumbo jet is out and out willfully blind.  And it goes without saying that these Mideast oil sheikhs aren't opening their arms to "doing business" with a guy who'd been turned away by every reputable American bank and financial org in this country after having blown the $400 million he inherited from his old man on cocaine, hookers and living the Studio 54 lifestyle, and bankrupting every fucking business venture he was ever involved in, including multiple casinos . . CASINOS for fuck sake!!.  No, the Qataris aren't that stupid.  There's a quid pro quo because there simply has to be one for that kind of "gift."

But sure Ma and Pa MAGA - keep making make-believe to yourselves that Hunter Biden's $8,000 pickup truck loan from his father is the greater threat to your miserable Trumpublican existence.
