The American White House is "Adorned by a Downright Moron"

Every minute of his execrable presence in our American White House cheapens and sullies the history and the honor of that hallowed office ever further.  

Behold:

I cannot think of a more garish, ugly, tasteless and gratuitously cheap political stunt than holding a bloody UFC fight on the White House Lawn as a celebration of this nation's independence from the very same kind of repression and totalitarianism that our forefathers fought to vanquish some 250 years ago, and for which Drumpf and his goons are attempting to resurrect.

In 1926 writer H.L. Mencken wrote: 

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

 

 

Mr. Mencken sure as shit nailed that prediction, didn't he?

The Right-Wing Blame Game Spins Up in Texas - Again

Watch as a drug-addled, dementia-ridden American President, like the slimy coward he is, blames his predecessor for the horribly tragic, probably preventable loss of life in the Texas flash floods, calling it "the Biden setup" and then in the same breath bizarrely claiming that he's "not blaming" Biden, when it fact he just did.

It has been pretty clear for awhile now that what little remains of Drumpf's undersized brain is the consistency of under-cooked oatmeal.  But sure, Joe Biden, who could actually string coherent sentences together and remain focused on topics, albeit with the occasional verbal gaffe was just too damn old. 😕 

 


 

As far as the Texas floods being a "Biden setup," like the moral recreant he is, Drumpf will never accept responsibility for his and his party's role in tragedies like these.  And of course, just like after mass shootings such as occurred a couple of years ago in Uvalde Texas, Republicans have already begun their mantra that it is "too soon" to talk about exactly who and what was responsible for such a high number of lives lost in a single deadly event like this.  Republicans don't want to talk about root causes of shit like this because it would reveal their own culpability.

Here's one story to help you understand the factors that contributed to this horrific flooding tragedy:

That would be mostly Republican lawmakers since they have held an iron grip on political power in Texas for decades.  Nothing happens in that state without the imprimatur of the Republican party, believe me. 

And then there is this:

Drumpf and the right-wing 'Project 2025' ghouls want to slash and burn everything, including agencies and employees who provide the public service of warning Americans about severe weather forecasts and life-threatening weather events such as the flash flooding that has taken at least 90 lives so far in Texas, many of them children.  

Isn't it odd how Republicans never have a hard time finding money to hand out to their billionaire cronies and corporate donors with ever more tax cuts, tax loopholes, public land giveaways, government contracts, etc., but plead insolvency when circumstances demand they do their fucking jobs and actually legislate something beneficial for the safety, security and welfare of their own constituents? 

You want to Make America Great Again folks?  The solution is as simple as it gets.  Stop voting for corrupt, money and power-worshiping Republicans.  That's all it takes.

The Warning Signs Are Steadily Accumulating

If you read anything this week, read this.

This guy isn't wrong.

As an armchair World War 2 historian myself, I cannot begin to tell you the kinds of chills that run through my body every time I watch a documentary about the rise of Nazism and the Nazi party in Germany in the 1930's and see the clear parallels between the party of Hitler coming to power back then, and MAGA coming to power in our present day.  Its almost as if Drumpf had studied Hitler and adopted his dumbed-down, carnival barking, con man public presence, forged his own dictatorship, and he found a teeming pool of slack-jawed rubes and hateful, uncaring, dictatorship-loving Americans to mesmerize and exploit. 

All that is left for Drumpf to super-accelerate and complete his totalitarian takeover is to stage his own Reichstag Fire moment.  And when that fateful day arrives, and there is every reason to believe it will, I better not hear a goddamn word of contrition or regret from the mouths of those who blindly facilitated the end of the American Experiment in democracy.

 

 “Man and fascism cannot co-exist. If fascism conquers, man will cease to exist and there will remain only man-like creatures that have undergone an internal transformation. But if man, man who is endowed with reason and kindness, should conquer, then Fascism must perish, and those who have submitted to it will once again become people.”

Christmas Came Early For Budding Dictator Donny

Drumpf's BBB "Big Beautiful Bill" gives more taxpayer money to ICE than what the US Marine Corps will get.

Think about that.  Think long and hard about it.  Then go read this article:  LINK   

 


Link:  https://www.yahoo.com/news/ice-175-billion-windfall-trump-103059036.html

 

 "President Donald Trump’s budget, which passed the Senate Tuesday, allocated some $175 billion towards his mass deportation campaign, more money than almost any country spends on its military, and many times the estimated yearly cost it would take to end world hunger." 

 

Drumpf is building up his own paramilitary force.  Loyal paramilitary forces are what dictators use to keep themselves in power and their political opponents terrorized and neutralized.

The Republicans just gave him all the money he needs to become a Putin-style despot.

All this can be stopped if Americans started voting every Republican out of office that we possibly can in every single county, state, and national election between now and the 2026 mid-terms.  That idea is premised of course on the supposition that Americans will even have federal elections in 2026.  There's a lot of time between now and those elections next year for Drumpf to further erode our liberties and further ignore or even suspend our constitution.

SS Recipients: Believe Drumpf at Your Own Peril

Deceit has no boundaries with Drumpf and his criminal regime.

If like I, you received this email from the hijacked and hallowed out SSA (Social Security Administration), congratulations, you have just been gaslit by one of the world's most prolific con artists.

Donald Trump, surprise, surprise, is lying to you.

The BBB "Big Beautiful Bill" DOES NOT, as in any way, shape, or form, contain any language that keeps Social Security from being taxed for 90% of recipients.  None.  Don't take The Gadfly's word for it, go and read the fucking bill, which is something that several of the MAGA monkey House representatives have publicly admitted they have failed to do, yet voted for it anyway.  

The Project 2025 people wrote this bill.  That means this bill was written by people who have a documented history of hostility toward government entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and VA care, and who have vowed to eliminate those programs and agencies if given the opportunity to do so.  Unsurprisingly, this bill also hastens the arrival of the date that Social Security becomes insolvent which will automatically trigger massive across the board cuts.

I mean seriously folks, just stop and think about this for a moment.  Why would people (Project 2025 assholes) who have a permanent hard-on for eliminating programs like Social Security and Medicare put anything in a bill that would truly benefit SS recipients or strengthen the solvency of the program?  The indisputable answer is - they wouldn't. 

If Donald Trump and his crooked MAGA cronies will lie to you, to we Americans on a fundamentally consequential matter that directly affects millions of American's lives such as this, then what won't he lie to you about?

Starve the Poor Kids and Fatten the Billionaires. That's Who MAGA Is.

A lot of clueless people in this country are going to find out soon enough just how cruel and uncaring these MAGA lawmakers can be.

This spiteful Wisconsin Trumpublican is not an anomaly when it comes to the subpar, collective moral character of the people who ascribe to this execrable movement:

 

Link: https://newrepublic.com/post/197614/maga-representative-donald-trump-budget-medicaid-free-school-lunch

 

"Van Orden reshared a post on X hitting back at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declaring “VICTORY!”

“17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance. And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit. All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors,” read the post, from an account called Logical Luminary.

YES!” Van Orden wrote, excited about the laundry list of benefits he’d just voted to strip away from his own constituents in Wisconsin."
 

 "YES!," the MAGA Republican screamed in orgasmic joy at hearing the news of all the Americans who he and his billionaire-owned fellow Trumpublicans voted to hurt.  It boggles the mind trying to understand how supposedly decent, God-fearing people could ever have voted to put a humanity-hating party like MAGA into power. 

Something tells me though that gratuitous sadism as a party platform is going to translate to an electoral bloodbath for the GOP in the 2026 mid-terms - providing of course that Hair Führer doesn't cancel those elections and proclaim himself dictator for life.

MAGA = Domestic Terrorism. End of Discussion.

Masked, armed, unidentified men in unidentified vehicles riding around like bounty hunter posses kidnapping people off the streets, dragging them from their workplaces, from their homes, from their churches, and often doing so in front of young children and other family members.

That is the un-Christian cruelty of MAGA's America.  It is the cruelty of Drumpf's America.  It is the America that every single person who continues to support Drumpf is helping to create.

And we are learning more and more with each passing day that these ICE bounty hunter goons who have been given an impossible order by a constitution-shredding, criminally-minded administration to round up and remove 20 million people from this country are doing so without a damn concern for accuracy or due process of law, and it is resulting in lawful American citizens being arrested and carted off to ICE deportation concentration camps.

This is Nazism in it's basest form folks.  It boils my blood to think that our parents and grandparents fought a fucking world war not long ago to rid humanity of this cancerous ideology and here we are just a mere 80 years later and our own country is under assault from those who would resurrect this movement of evil that our parents and grandparents fought and died to vanquish.  The whole concept of 'MAGA' assaults the decency of good people's minds and values and paints America as a country no better than Putin's Russia, or Kim's North Korea.

Those Americans who support this and continue to support the orange criminal-in-chief's efforts to Nazify the United States of America need to have their dreams of a full-blown MAGA society demolished and crushed beyond recognition.  It's as straightforward as that.  The MAGA movement is a terrorist movement and it's practitioners and promoters are domestic terrorists. 

 

Link: https://www.democracynow.org/2025/7/2/ice_abductions_masked_men_andrea_velez

 

"In an effort to fulfill the Trump administration’s daily immigration arrest “quotas,” federal agents and deputized local law enforcement are racially profiling and snatching people off the streets without due process. 

These arrests, carried out by armed and masked agents, are sowing terror and confusion in communities across the United States. 

Stephano Medina, a lawyer with the California Center for Movement Legal Services, shares how ICE regularly denies that it has taken people into custody, leading to family members scrambling for information about their loved ones. “It’s arrest now, ask questions later,” adds Dominique Boubion, an attorney representing Andrea Velez, a U.S. citizen who was taken by ICE last month in what Velez has since described as a “kidnapping.”"

 

Just once I would like to ask a MAGA voter explain to me in clear, no bullshit, no lies and propaganda terms why these ICE agents are operating like ninja thieves in the night, masked, unidentified, roaming around like bandit kidnappers snatching up people like Putin death squad operatives?

Actually, just forget about it.  I know I will never get a serious, fact-based, truthful answer from the 'moral values' fraudsters who voted twice for an admitted rapist and convicted criminal.

Selfishness, Cruelty, and Vindictiveness: The Backbone of the MAGA Agenda

Depending on which state you reside in, it might be a good idea for folks to understand which state Medicaid programs your friendly neighborhood, morally bankrupt, billionaire-owned Republicans are voting to eliminate.

By falling in line to their convicted felon and rapist leader's demand to pass his "Big Beautiful Bill," Republicans are planning to take away the funding for life-saving, low cost access to medical care for millions of Americans and it will be a literal death sentence for thousands, if not tens of thousands.

Why?  First and foremost, because the Republicans in the US Congress and the US Senate, and all of these red state state legislatures they control DO NOT give a shit about any of YOU, any of us.  They don't even care that their own red-state constituencies who per capita are the BIGGEST recipients of government subsidies and most likely to be Medicaid/Medicare recipients will NOT be spared this bloodbath.  All of this backstabbing just so they can give ever more tax cuts to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and give Donald Fucking Trump a legislative victory he doesn't deserve because the sad reality is that Republican men in this country are a bunch of sniveling, selfish cowards who are terrified to stand up to an old, diaper-shitting, Putin-owned mobster.

Here's a state-by-state list of state Medicaid programs that Drumpf and the MAGA Republicans hope to eliminate and take away from some of America's most vulnerable citizens:

 

 

Imagine the amount of gall needed to proclaim yourselves to be "the party of family values" when the sum total of your party's legislative agenda consists of inflicting economic pain and misery on American families at every turn as a payoff to big donor billionaires and corrupt business people?

That is who MAGA is.  That is who Drumpf is.  That is who the Republican party are. Nothing will ever change for the better in this country until more people wake up and realize that the Republican party does not work for the American people, does not give a damn about the American people, and certainly does not give a flying fuck about the best interests of ALL Americans.  Republicans work for and are rewarded by billionaires, shady foreign actors, and assholes in this country who hate America so much that they want to see democracy replaced by totalitarian authoritarianism with a convicted felon and rapist as their anointed King.

This Sequel to 'American Psycho' Sucks Ass

The American president is dangerous and malignant mental case.  God help us all.

The President of the United States of America, the supposed adult leader of the world's most powerful democracy, actually posted this embarrassing and idiotic video on his own shithole social media platform account.

The Americans who are still supporting and enabling this mentally unstable fruitcake ruling over us have perpetrated unfathomable damage to our nation and harm to our people.  Fucking enough already. 

 

 


 

History will not be kind or forgiving to those who enabled and supported this psychotic buffoon.

GOP "Shocked, Shocked" To Find Out Gambling Going on in Here...

Oh bullshit. 

Every one of these lying, gaslighting Republicans knows full well what is in Drumpf's "Big Beautiful Bill" and while it is indeed big, it is anything but beautiful.  

In fact, the ugliness and cruelty with which this bill was crafted is pretty clear to anyone with sentient brainwave activity who actually takes the time to sit down and read the text of the bill, which incidentally is what the fucking job of these legislators like Lindsey Graham and others is, and what our taxpayer dollars are paying their inflated, undeserved salaries for.

 

Link: https://www.rawstory.com/lindsey-graham-2672504175/?utm_source=superhead


"The race to pass President Donald Trump's domestic spending and policy legislation has left some Republicans in the dark about what's actually in the bill.

NBC News reported on Monday that some Republicans discovered an excise tax on wind and solar projects in the 940-page bill — a provision that was a surprise even to legislators who helped craft it.

"It's a secret, I guess," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told NBC News. "I don't know where it came from.""


If these Republican eunuchs don't even know themselves what kind of damaging provisions that their own colleagues are stuffing into this anti-life, pro-corruption, pro-greed monstrosity of a bill, then God help the American people should it ever get passed and signed into law by the felon and rapist-in-chief.
