Make Swimming in Sewage Great Again!

And then there's this sideshow freak we have to worry about . . . ffs:

And you just know that were one of those grandkids to have gotten seriously ill or worse, he would have blamed it on Joe Biden's woke HHS policies for the simple reason that RFK Jr., like every other loser Drumpf nominated, is one of these people who never, ever accept responsibility for their own terrible judgment and decisions.

The worms that ravaged RFK Jr.'s brain have put not only the public health of 330 million Americans in harms way, it is doing the same to the children in his care.

Corruptly Rotten to the MAGA Core

Wow.  You have truly got to give these charlatans credit.

They really pulled off a slick deal with the gift of this lavishly pimped out Boeing 747 jumbo jet to Drumpf from his Qatari oil sheikh buddies.

Nobody in the DOJ is going to look into this clearly illegal deal folks.  It's not going to happen.  And that can be stated with a fair amount of confidence knowing that the DOJ is currently headed up by a woman named Pamela Jo Bondi.  Pam Bondi for those who are unaware, is an individual who has a past history of being a big-money Drumpf donor as well as using her public position as Florida Attorney General to defend Drumpf's public corruption (Google 'Bondi Trump University').

But the fact that Pam Bondi is a past enabler of Drumpf's chicanery is not the only valid reason to be of the view that no legal review will occur of this clear act of foreign nation emoluments bribery taking place in the American White House.

No, what seals the deal on that question is the fact that one of Pam Bondi's former jobs was as a registered lobbyist for the government of Qatar earning a cool $115k a MONTH, and it is those very same Arab oil sheikhs who are wanting to "gift" DonOld this nearly half a billion dollar jumbo jet, out of supposedly the goodness of their oil sheikh hearts:

"The plan for Trump to receive a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 from Qatar—the so-called "flying palace"—has unleashed new waves of legal concerns over the legality and ethics of such foreign government gifts.

As attorney general, Bondi's prior history as a lobbyist for Qatar has compounded concerns over foreign influence at the highest level of government. Additionally, Bondi is supposed to work as the top legal officer for the United States, not only for the president, and her ties to Qatar raise concerns over whether she will adequately pursue whether the acceptance of this plane is legal."


You can wager good money there will NOT be an adequate pursuit of "whether the acceptance of this plane is legal."

Oh what tangled webs of corrupt intrigue our MAGA friends do weave, eh folks?

This Whole Country Should Be Embarrassed

"As President Donald Trump signed an executive order to lower drug prices, an ABC reporter questioned the gift of a $400 million plane from Qatar which he is set to receive.

“What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?” The reporter asked. “Why not leave it behind?”

Trump cut the reporter off. “You are ABC fake news, right? Only ABC would — well, a few of you would ask that question.”

He added, “Let me tell you. You should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet. I can say no, no, no, don't give us — I want to pay you a bill again, or 400 million or whatever it is, or I can say thank you very much.”"

No.  Just fuck no.

Shit doesn't work that way in a respectable, honorable, constitutional, law-abiding democracy.

This orange, arrogant, money-hungry prick accepted a nearly half billion dollar bribe from the government of Qatar in the form of a royally decked-out Boeing 747 jumbo jet for his personal AND OFFICIAL use, and if Joe Biden, or Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter, or any other prior sitting Democratic president, or even Republican president for that fucking matter, had EVER involved themselves in such a stinking, rotten, sleazy fucking deal like this one with the Qatari oil sheikhs, they would have been summarily impeached and run out of D.C.

And he is doing this traitorous shit from INSIDE the American people's White House, no less.

The Americans who continue to support Donald Trump are at a crossroads.  They either wise up and accept the reality that they have been supremely played by one of the slickest, most ostentatious con-artists to ever ply the trade, or they continue to align themselves as willing accessories to his ever expanding corruption and treachery, only to eventually be treated with the same hand of 'understanding' that treats all supporters of fascism when their fascist idols face inevitable defeat.

If anyone "should be embarrassed" it should be those in this country who despite the growing mountain of evidence that Drumpf is selling this country right out from under all our American lives, continue to support this thoroughly corrupted, casino-bankrupting, pussy-grabbing, coup-plotting, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

The Gift of Foreign Influence Corruption That Keeps on Giving to Donald Drumpf

It never fails to elicit a hearty laugh from me that the people who voted for Drumpf still seemingly have absolutely no clue as to what a colossal fraudster and a mobster he is.

Here we see DonOld accepting a half-billion dollar GIFT from a Middle-East Arab nation that DonOld and his crooked offspring do "business" with.

And isn't it the absolutely perfect metaphor that Drumpf the Russian asset POTUS will now be flying around in a royally outfitted jumbo jet courtesy of a bunch of Arab oil sheikhs that his crooked family is in financial bed with?

This is how stupid MAGA voters are that they allowed this bullshit spewing clown to play their naive, foolish asses so effortlessly.

 


Link: Trump to accept $400 million 'flying palace' jet as gift from Qatar: report - Raw Story



It is a gift, no matter what horseshit excuses Drumpf and his ass-licking defenders are peddling.  

Drumpf says the jet is being "given" to the US Air Force for free by the Qatari oil sheikhs, and that it will be donated to his presidential library when he is out of office.  There's only one problem with that laughably bullshit story - US presidential libraries don't own royally-outfitted, 747 jumbo jets.  Go ahead, go look it up.  You will not find one single instance of a previous US president, throughout the history of this country, having accepted a gift of the nature that Drumpf is ready to accept from these crooked Arabs.

Drumpf and his MAGA enablers are such duplicitous charlatans.  And the average American voter keeps electing these charlatans and their compromised candidates to higher office, and swallowing the lies of their dear leader as if none of it is going to have any consequences in the end.  All of these people are in for a terribly rude awakening eventually.

The Buck and the Sunken Jets Stop at Pete Hegseth's Desk

A major intelligence breach scandal.  A makeup studio scandal.  The purging of good, patriotic American military personnel who won't commit to being Drumpf yes men, as well as the legacy of accomplishments by military members of color.  And now the oops! loss of $200 million in taxpayer paid for military fighter jets, just poof gone, all in the first couple months of Pete Hegseth's Fox "news" command of the US armed forces, cosplaying the role of US Secretary of Defense.

This is precisely the kind of results you should expect to get when you give a critical military leadership position to a loudmouthed, know-nothing, D-grade Fox "news" weekend TV show co-host with a documented past history of drunken and inappropriate (aka, morally degenerate) behavior on the job, as well as in his personal life (rape accusation and coverup).

Ask yourselves how many legitimate, major name-brand corporations out there would hire someone with Pete Hegseth's known personal and work history for a top executive position in their company?  None, because it would make their companies look bad to the public and undermine the public's trust and faith in that brand name.

That is what Drumpf is doing to our US military by appointing a cheap, drunken, moral values-challenged oaf like Pete Hegseth as the United States Secretary of Defense, the person in charge of the combined US armed forces and supposedly the person responsible for setting the moral and military values, customs, and traditions example for the members of those combined forces. He is purposely damaging the US military brand name.

Hegseth is a sad, cruel joke on our military personnel.  He needs to be removed from office and he can take his demented boss along with him.

"The USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier lost another F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet on Tuesday -- the third since it deployed to the Middle East -- this time amid a landing incident that caused the jet to go overboard, defense officials confirmed to Military.com

The incident comes just more than a week after the Truman lost an F/A-18 jet and a connected tow tractor when the pair fell overboard while being towed around the carrier's hangar deck."

Republicans Fear Democracy - Its Why They Incessantly Attack It

Yet another instance of Trumpublicans in a Trumpublican-controlled state attempting to keep the votes of certain Americans from being counted in our elections.

Why do Republicans hate democracy and the concept of one person, one vote so passionately?  What are they so terrified of that they feel compelled to use their corruptly entrenched political monopoly in some of these US states to keep other Americans from exercising their constitutionally-guaranteed right to participate in our electoral process, AND, just as if not more importantly, to have their votes fairly counted?

The opposite of democracy is tyranny folks.  Its that simple.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😶

The Party of Racist Losers Loses Again - As They Always Should

Trumpublicans in Alabama attempted to brazenly disenfranchise black voters in their state through a new redistricting plan hatched up by their corrupt party.  Twice their illegal voter disenfranchisement efforts have been slapped down hard by the courts, this time by a federal court where two of the three judges are Drumpf appointees.  That tells you just how blatantly racist and criminally conniving the GOP redistricting plans were in that state.  Look for more of these kinds of legislative acts of electoral terrorism by Republicans in states they control because they know too damn well that when more Americans opt to exercise their right to show up at the polls and vote, Republicans lose badly.

And I have to say that if the white-wing, MAGA Republicans in this country spent even a fraction as much time and effort in being decent Americans and decent human beings and actually living their lives by the book and teachings of their supposedly cherished deity, I wouldn't be quite as harsh and unforgiving with them as I am.

Sadly, much more often than not, we find them deliberately trying to inflict misery on other Americans, mostly people of color as in this Alabama case, and other vulnerable citizens in our society, because that is what cowardly bullies do.  And no, that does not include the hundreds of undocumented immigrant, so-called "terrorists" that the greasy orange menace has illegally renditioned to El Salvador or God knows where else.  That is a whole different beast of impeachable horror that will be the subject of a future post.

Quite simply - this modern-day MAGA version of the Republican party is a party of moral cowards, and they are led by not only equally immoral, small-minded cowards and deceivers, but by some truly, demonstrably evil individuals.  It goes without saying that the convicted felon and court-declared rapist named Donald John Trump is one of them.

Little Donny's Childish Blame Game

Drumpf is blaming Biden and Pete Buttigieg  for the spate of aviation accidents and near-disasters that ONLY started occurring AFTER he and Elmo raped and pillaged the FAA and other government agencies of staff and funding.

Seriously - fuck this lying, incontinent, phony piece of shit.  And the same goes for the ignorant, selfish and hateful Americans who continue to support and enable him.

 


 

This says it all:

Terrible Timing For a Potential Nuke War India and Pakistan - Awful Timing...

This is happening on Drumpf's watch btw because he has installed manifestly unqualified, inexperienced and incompetent people in key cabinet positions that are critical to ensuring that these kinds of possibly world-ending conflicts don't arise.

 


 Link: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cwyneele13qt


  • "The Indian government says it has launched an attack on nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir

  • Three locations have been attacked, Pakistan's military says

  • Relations between India and Pakistan - both nuclear-armed states - have declined sharply following a deadly militant attack on tourists in Kashmir last month"


It truly will be a miracle if we all make it out of this era of Drumpf madness with barely our lives.
