I know, I know. But cut me some slack, Sis. Not everyone can be as graceful and lovely as you. 😉

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.' No no no! Of course I'm not implying that Jeff Bexos is spending 1 % of his Trump Tax Cut on Trump's trophy wife to curry favor with Trump. Who would ever think Jeff Bezos would do such a thing? And no! Absolutely not! I am not implying that Melania is the kind of whore who seeks fame and fortune, regardless of who she has to get in bed with. Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos are honorable men, who just happen to be sexy as hell. Melania has never done anything just for money and power! Money Amazon spent promoting people to see Melania: $35 million Money people have spent to see Melania: $11 million Money saved by people who voted for Trump thanks to lower prices: Zero

Even Mike Johnson had a hard time saying it.

This thread hits on what I suspect will be his true legacy. He will be remembered as President Bankruptcy. The biggest question in my mind is how long it will take. Better than being called Hitler by Vice President Herbert JD Hoover, I guess. 😉 And poor @Barknaway. I'm worried the bond vigilantes will eat him.

I corrected the typo. 😉

I know, dear. Like Barknaway, I was just trying to be inclusive and tolerant. 😉 We will always have barking. And fashion. And Michelle Obama.

I will give credit to Tik Tok for this: A ‘mediocre’ comment has put Talarico's Texas Senate campaign in the hot seat First, I don't think it's racist to say a Black man is a so-so campaigner. And that a White candidate is going to have a harder time winning a primary against a "formidable, intelligent" Black woman. Second, it is politically stupid for a white US Senate candidate to put the words "mediocre" and "Black man" in the same sentence. It opened up a hornet's nest. And Tik Tok, at its best, can probably handle that cultural debate pretty well. We might actually learn something good from it. That said, I'm the kind of simple-minded guy who watches Tik Tik to get Charli D'Amelio's fashion tips, and worship Melania's stilettos. WOOF! But as dog-brain as my mentality is, a Black man trashing Michelle Obama as a woman who "embarrasses her husband" on Tik Tok and singing the praises of Melania Trump is a bit of a stretch. Of course, what would I know? I'm White. I'm sure most Blacks detest Michelle Obama. 🤔 Speaking of which, good to know our hero pup is the kind of dog who wants us to know that Michelle Obama embarrasses her husband. @Barknaway may be dumb, but he's loyal. Given the chance I'm sure he'd be pleased to tear her mediocre Black face off. One of the things I wish I could unhear is the time my White Republican MAGA niece, who I love, said something about how most Blacks she has run in to are the type who worship Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey. Ugh!?!? I guess?????? Most Blacks I know do respect and admire Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey. So do I. So as much as my Sister In Cock and I look to Tik Tok for the latest in fashion, I guess I don't view Tik Tok as very useful for getting the Black take on Melania. Besides, the Black man in the video has very mediocre fashion sense, anyway. 😉

I did watch that one. Every once in a while I watch a Tik Tok just to confirm that our hero pup is still as mindless as I think he is. And, yeah. It's some moron ranting about how this is "terrible news for the leftists." Ha ha. You think I didn't know Trump was bad news for leftists, and all Americans? I didn't need a documentary to tell me that. Our dumb dog may be stupid. But I figured the Trumps out long ago., And I agree that it is terrible news for leftists. Speaking as a leftist, I'd hope that working class Trump supporters would be fighting for more factory jobs. We have 50,000 fewer factory jobs since Trump took office. Speaking as a leftist, I'd hope that working class Trump supporters would be demanding the lower prices he promised. Not tariffs. Anyone bought a big ass truck lately? Latino men are abandoning the Trump tent in droves. Go see Melania and you see lots of older white women. Speaking as a a leftist, I'd hope that working class Trump supporters pushed Trump to deliver on the promise he has made since 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 to provide affordable health care. Instead he is cutting Obamacare and Medicaid while millionaires and big donors clean up on tax cuts. I could go on forever. So, yes. As a leftist who wants the working class to get their fair share again, like they did for the half a century when the New Deal coalition ruled, it is terrible news that Trump's old white working class supporters can be so easily distracted with this Melania worship nonsense. I'd of course expect this from a dumb dog who every day acts more and more like a mindless drug addict who can't control himself. But it's sad that so many working class people can be so easily distracted by Melania's shoes. Jeff Bezos is not distracted. He's getting his tax cuts. And lots of other breaks for footing the bill, I'm sure. Meanwhile, the moron on Tik Tok just rants. I guess he must not care about the working class either. Just Melania and her lovely shoes. It's not even "let them eat cake." This is, "let them admire shoes." Bark, dumb dog, bark!

Q.E.D. What a happy gullible dumb dog! Everybody give the dog treats. But just watch your hands. The dumb loyal dog will tear you apart if you are a Fake Jew or a Gay or a Socialist! The stupid dog can not think and really doesn't know any better. He can worship Melania and lick her nice shoes and admire her lovely dresses. He will bark like crazy when she smiles that fabulous glamour smile. Outside of that, he's like a drug addict or alcoholic. Every Tik Tok video is his next pill or drink. He can not help himself. Be kind to him. Thank God the dumb dog is not human. If he were human we would say this is the behavior of a sad and hollow man. This is all he has. But because he is a dumb dog, we can give him treats for being good and loyal and true! Woof!

Q.E.D. And remember everyone. Extra treats for our dumb dog. He is so happy today! I am so happy that he only barks, and is a dumb dog that can not think If he could think, he might notice what is really going on. Just everyone give him a treat and reward his stupidity and loyalty. He can not help himself. Wealth Concentration: The richest 1% of Americans are projected to receive a total net tax cut in 2026 that is approximately $14 billion greater than the bottom 80% combined. Income Shift: The plan heavily favors those earning over $1 million annually, boosting their after-tax income by over 14%. Offsetting Measures: While high earners benefit, some analyses suggest these tax cuts are partially funded by cuts to social programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Woof! Woof! Give the dumb loyal dog a treat! Woof!

Q.E.D. And please make sure to give Barknaway extra treats today. He is being such a good pup!

Q.E.D.

Which is the truly sad and stunning thing. MAGA cares about Melania getting richer. They are celebrating HER victory. As if someone named Trump needs more money! Granted, she is a First Lady. So she wasn't elected on promises to lower prices or lower mortgage rates or rent, like our pretty boy Mamdani was. She didn't violate those promises with tariffs that have raised the prices of big ass trucks. She's a symbolic figure. But when you think about other First Ladies, what did they stand for? Michelle Obama's official thing was healthy eating and apples in The White House. I think she also ended up becoming a symbol of women's empowerment. Hillary Clinton brought us Hillarycare and CHIPS, which was the compromise that got passed after Hillarycare faceplanted. You can be for or against that. But she wanted to, and did, improve health care affordability for children. Others like Betty Ford became symbols of courage and honesty in dealing with personal problems many face, like alcoholism What does Melania Trump stand for? What is the message to MAGA, and all of us? Recent reports indicate Melania Trump has shifted to monetizing her public profile, notably earning a substantial portion of a reported $40 million licensing deal for a documentary. While previously maintaining a lower financial profile, she is now perceived as actively capitalizing on her position through high-fee appearances. Documentary Earnings: Melania served as executive producer for a documentary, with reports suggesting she could receive 70% of a $40 million Amazon licensing deal. Appearance Fees: Reports suggest she has sought and received high fees, such as $250,000, for appearances at events. Business Focus: Reports contrast her first term, where she was seen as less involved in profiting from her position, with her current approach which includes a focused business strategy. Response to Criticism: Despite reports of high-dollar deals and, in some cases, paying for seats at screenings of her documentary, her representatives have previously stated she has no intention of using her public position for personal gain. Melania Trump stands for greed and bullshit. Such a Trump thing to stand for. And if the film is a flop by commercial standards, so what? So was Trump U. Who cares? It's not about helping people. It's about enriching themselves. I'm glad @Barknaway is a dog who is happy to bark and bark and bark. If he were a human being, he might need more than Tik Tok videos and Melania Worship as his treat. But he is perfectly happy to bark and bark and bark while the Trumps enrich themselves. And do nothing to help the people they said they would help. Barknaway is good and loyal and true. And just what the Trumps need. Gullible.

I LOVE THE MOVIE!!!!!! EXTRA TREATS TO BARKNAWAY!!!!! WHEN I ATTENDED THE PREMIERE HE BIT THE NECKS OFF THE FAKE JEW AND GAY PROTESTERS AND MELANIA TREATED HIM AND GAVE HIM A BIG HUG!

Oh, and I forgot. Amazon will make money, too, in the long run. I'm happy for Jeff Bezos. He needs all the money he can get!
