Trump-aligned club for the ultra rich launches in Washington I love it. I'm sure there won't be a Tik Tok video on how you working class folks who voted for us are not welcome at our club. Where we talk about what tax cuts we want for ourselves, or what public safety regulations really get under Elon's skin. Poor little rich men. Even though they bought the best White House and SCOTUS and Congress money can buy, nobody will let them speak. At least they now have a place where they can get a word, or a tax cut, in edgewise. Meanwhile, the rest of us can eat journalists.

Do you know what the law actually says regarding what she did? If this is just a narrow matter of what the law says, which I know is always up to a judge or jury, common sense tells me to never bet against a judge knowing what the law that governs her own court room says. At the very least, I would guess it is ambiguous enough that she can argue that she followed the letter of the law. That has nothing to do with whether or not the judge is a liberal or conservative. It has to do with the common sense idea that no judge wants to lose her job, or go to jail.

Thanks for the diagnosis, Doc. Even though it ignores everything I said. Since you missed it, you are the one with a pre-determined conclusion. You obviously think the judge is in the wrong. There are a whole lots of facts that you either don't understand, or don't care about. Was this judge under any legal obligation to help the immigration officers in her court room? If so, why did she repeatedly demand they leave? That implies she either was under no legal obligation to help them, or she is a judge who has no clue about the law. Was this judge correct that they needed a different warrant to arrest the man? Why did the judge direct the immigration officers to see the chief judge? Does any of this matter, or does anyone on a jury who even thinks these questions matter get maligned as "fans of the wife batterer" in your mind? I will repeat a political point you clearly do not get, because you are resistant to it, like a bacteria. The point some Democratic leaders are making, seemingly effectively, is "We're not for wife beaters. We're for due process. And we're for judges who stand for due process." SCOTUS is saying the same. I say that because the poll I cited shows a majority, barely, support the concerns for due process. Which, in this case, actually does relate to whether the immigration officers had a valid arrest warrant. You've made it clear that you have decided how you feel, and these questions about facts don't really concern you or interest you. That's fine. But don't malign me as a fan of a wife batterer. I'm not. I personally am good with the idea that the guy is deported, again, legally. Still want to know whether Judge Dugan can arrange for Andy Beshear to be POTUS, so he can legally deport assholes like Obama did. And so we can move beyond these dumb and fact-resistant debates.

There is a lesson from the same sex marriage fight that applies here. The bumper sticker is simple: IT'S PUBLIC OPINION, STUPID! The Supremes are captives of public opinion, and mostly see themselves that way. For all I know, by 2028 Trump will be elected as permanent King in an 80/20 landslide. Why? Every Latino man wants to pay $100,000 to own a truck. If Trump can figure this tariff shit out so that every middle class Latino guy has to pay $100,000 to own a truck, that's his ticket to love and royalty. Just kidding. Trump is a dumb ass, and his approval rating is dropping like a rock. So not even his circle jerk buddies like Alito and Thomas think Trump will be a handsome young King by 2028. Nor will JD. So they have to worry about what the public thinks about them. I think they read the polls. They know not even most Republicans want a King Trump. That's my theory. So far, Trump's disapproval is whatever it was in Act One, minus two points or one month. So right now he is at 52 % disapproval. He is actually catching up quickly to where he was in 2017, although right now he is still about one point better than his 53 % disapproval rate in April 2017. And we know in 2017 it just got worse. So is there any reason for the Supremes to think this guy will have an 80 % approval rating when we all figure out he really should be our king? I doubt it. Same thing with same sex marriage. There are may Gay men who believe that victory was primarily or even exclusively a legal victory. And there are many legal heroes in that war. I can't find the quotes, and I wish I had written them down somewhere. But I am pretty sure even SCOTUS members have discussed how they had their eyes on the polls. It is not a coincidence that same sex marriage gained majority support in public opinion polls right around the time SCOTUS made it legal. Those two things were interactive, I think. It was public opinion, stupid! Of course, that was a different SCOTUS. I agree with your skepticism about this gang of nine. There are a few of the right wingers, like Thomas, who really do seem to not give a shit what people think about him. Which is fine, since I have zero respect for him. But I think most of the conservatives, and especially Roberts, have their eyes on the polls. If it comes down to who is the asshole, and who is the reasonable moderate, Roberts is going to at least try to be the reasonable moderate, I think.

I think that is what at least some Democrats are doing. The bumper sticker is: DUE PROCESS. And that is the bumper sticker of SCOTUS, too, at least some of the time. But you are skeptical of whether they mean it. Which seems rational to me. My comments were directed to what @unicorn wants to discuss, which is the specific details of the case. Neither he nor I are lawyers or judges. From the very little I know, I like this judge. Like if we were going to have a nationally televised debate between her and Tom Homan, I would bet on her to win. Both on the specifics of the law, and the drama of some social justice Judge Judy ranting with conviction about due process while Tom Homan does his tough guy "I don't want him to rape your daughter" routine. She would probe about how many American kids he stopped from being killed, since he is all about public safety. That said, we all have to be honest. Tom Homan is sexy as fuck!

So I was curious. Here is some context you did not state. This is a quote from Dugan: So right out of the gate, I agree with her statement completely. If I were on a jury selection panel, and I were honest, my guess is I would be eliminated because I view the world the way she does. I can live with that. This is about the context: So here is a test. Which best describes this situation: A. This fucker is an asshole. He was deported once, and he did not get the memo. Now he is fucking with people again. Get him the fuck out. Send him to El Salvador. Beat his fucking head with a golf club. And, yes. Take that last swing, so his fucking brains explode. Teach the fucker a lesson, and everyone else like him. B. As a matter of law, this judge fucked up. When immigration officials say, "Jump!", by law she has only one good legal response: "How high?" She fucked up. By law, she has to do whatever immigration officials want her to do. Trump wants to make a point here, and the law is on his side. C. ICE, Tom Homan, and these particular immigration officials fucked up. They are not paying attention to the law. They are grandstanding, while lots of Americans die of fentanyl they have no idea how to stop. So, as the judge's attorney said, this has nothing to do with public safety. The immigration officials had no legal right to arrest this guy in her court room. She is correct that they needed a different kind of warrant to make the arrest. She directed them to the chief judge, presumably to deal with the legal requirements involved in doing what they wanted to do. I'm guessing all three answers would get lots of backers, if we did poll America with these three choices. My guess is that "C" is closest to the correct legal answer. This judge has her own convictions about due process, and has been around the block. So, without the benefit of being a lawyer or judge, I would guess she knew what she was doing. Both in terms of her own view of the world, and in terms of what the law actually says. But there is no question that a lot of people would view this as abhorrent. And think the greater good is send the asshole to El Salvador and find a nice sturdy golf club to at least scare the shit out of him with. Politically, I will restate my point a third time. What I now know is this guy was deported in 2013 by the biggest bad ass of all. A total fucking sadist. A cruel son a bitch. And the fucking worthless Deporter In Chief of all time: Barack Hussein Obama. Fucker! Why is he back in the US? I don't know. Maybe he snuck in while Sleepy Joe was at the beach. Or maybe he snuck in while Tom Homan was failing to stop the fentanyl crisis. Beats me. But I want Obama back. Or, I want Andy Beshear in 2028. Let him be the country boy from Kentucky who says the Democratic Party deports people who rape the daughters of good Trump voting country folk in Kentucky. By the way, gotta add this. Restore the Biden child tax credit, because in addition to not wanting illegals to rape your daughter, I want her to escape poverty and prosper. And this tax credit is money paid by Elon Musk, who can afford to pay more in taxes so your daughter is not poor. And maybe next time vote for me, not Trump. That is the solution I want. Ask Judge Dugan if she can do that.

Correct. There are no polls about this particular situation. And I specifically avoided commenting on it because, if I were on a jury, I would want to know about the details. The relevant part of the polls, to me, is this. There is more concern about due process, in general, than I might have guessed. Forget about MAGA diehards. I might guess some lifelong Democrat in NYC says there is too much crime. So yeah. If some wife beater who has been in this country for more than a fucking decade illegally is sent to El Salvador to be tortured, with no due process, I have no problem with that. Hasta la vista, pendejo! In terms of this specific case, I have no clue. I'll repeat what I said. If I were looking at it from the perspective of a judge, I would probably think the right way to do this is the legal process needs to play out. If I were Tom Homan, and I believe what I read and hear 24/7, the right way to do this is just deport the son of a bitch. He is a gang member. He beats his wife. He is a terrorist. He is an illegal. Fuck him. He deserves no due process. I'm not sure whether I even fairly characterized what a judge would think, or what Tom Homan thinks. I do think Tom Homan completely failed in his first act, in Trump's first term. And he got tens of thousands of Americans killed by letting fentanyl flood through the borders. So I am not particularly sympathetic to anything he says, or any "deport them now, no questions asked" strategy. It seems like a majority of Americans agree with me. But, if you and I were on the jury in this particular case, I think we are both saying we would want to be fair, and we would want more information. Was it reasonable for ICE to arrest the judge? Based on what you posted, it seems so. I hope the judge was aware of the risk she was taking when she did what she allegedly did. Does she deserve her day in court? Yes, of course. I'll also repeat that, in general, as a partisan and loyal Democrat, I think my party fucked up royally. These are unforced errors. Whatever the facts are, which I do not know, it sounds awful to say we are the party that wants wife beaters to run loose lawlessly. That is not what anyone is actually saying. But that is how Trump and his pollsters make it sound. The good news to me, as a partisan and loyal Democrat, is that some leaders of my party are saying, "We are not for wife beaters. We are for due process." A conservative SCOTUS is saying the same thing. And the polls suggest that resonates with a bare majority of Americans.

The polls on this are interesting, and a bit surprising. So first I will make three points about why you are right, and then cite polls that say you are wrong. 1. No one likes a wife beater or a woman beater. A wife beater staying illegally in the country is worse. A wife beater who also sends other to the hospital should be easy to ship off to be tortured in some place no one wants to go. 2. This was a massive unforced error. It was clear for at least a few years that chaos at the border that spread across the country was becoming more and more unpopular specifically among Democratic or D-leaning Independent constituencies in blue cities or states. Trump's pollsters clearly figured that out, and honed in on it in all kinds of ways. 3. The interest groups pushing the policies Trump lambastes are the ones Ruy Teixiera despises and says have to be purged. Because they insist on forcing Democrats to adopt positions that are wildly unpopular. He makes a good argument that even Hispanics don't buy what the pro-immigration interest groups push. Which is why more and more will vote Republican. So for all these reasons, these people just suck. Please. Torture them. They deserve what Joel just got in The Last Of Us. 😨 And yet, survey says: Trump is getting negative marks on immigration, polls show It actually surprised me that half the country would say it's wrong to send people who somebody says are gang members to El Salvador with no court hearing. It makes perfect sense to me that most judges, who probably think courts do support the rule of law, would say even a wife beater (Garcia) or a woman beater deserves a court hearing. I would guess a majority of Americans might be fine with overlooking due process for gang members who do bad things. But maybe not. There is nothing "woke" or radical about a conservative SCOTUS telling Trump he went too far. Kudos to them. It is probably partly why the polls are shifting.

That simple. Celebrate. I hope they do. You didn't ask the question that is more interesting: does a peace deal mean anything? Does Putin want peace? That's far more complicated. Putin now runs a war economy. Russia is a gas station that kills people. So I don't think much of the world trusts Putin. Probably even Master Xi, who at least has Putin's testicles in a leash. Trump also is betraying core American principles,and core US and allied institutions. But, as I said above, my opinion is that his supporters basically voted for Trump to manage America's decline. Even if they didn't intend it. So Trump is going about managing America's decline and empowering Russia and China. Woo hoo! Whether there is a peace deal or not, I at least hope Trump guarantees that Putin restrains himself in Ukraine until 2028. If only to let Trump go about his business of managing American decline. Putin has no reason to get in the way of that. He can wait to attack Ukraine later Trump, a fool, seems to understand at least that much. He is publicly baiting Putin to meet some very low and basic standard of human decency. Like, "Come on, Vlad. Can we agree not to kill children on Easter?" For the record, I publicly oppose killing Ukrainian kids on Easter. Could you check with Genocide Man and see how he feels about this?

Trump says Putin may not want to ‘stop the war’ in Ukraine Gosh! I am shocked! What is wrong with Politico? This must be wrong. Vlad is the sweetest guy around. And I personally saw the Tik Tok video @Barknaway posted of Zelenskyy, the Hitler-like dictator, mass murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent Russian children. It is obvious Ukraine started this war and all Ukrainians who die deserve to be killed. Putin is ‘playing America as a patsy,’ Grassley warns Trump Gosh! I am shocked! What is wrong with Grassley? He must be senile. Personally I am hoping Putin is elected as the next Pope. But it's almost too much to hope that such a humanitarian will be chosen. Putin is too good for that. Gosh! WTF? It is almost like Grassley is saying Trump is wrong about Putin or something? Grassley needs to take his meds. Poll: Canadians despise Trump and distrust US Gosh! I am shocked! What the fuck is wrong with Canadians? Didn't they get the memo that Trump is successfully unifying the whole world against China, and that is the best way to lower prices for the middle class - even in Canada? How fucking stupid can these people be? Maybe it's time for Putin to invade Canada and give it to us! Although maybe Canada should go with Putin, along with Crimea. Who needs these assholes?

Good point. Since my theme of the day is that W. was actually far worse than Trump, so far, there are a few very important facts we agree on in relation to your argument. If you want to somehow blame Ukraine or the US or NATO for Genocide Man starting a war in 2022, I think your best argument is how W. and the US started the Iraq War. That's the main thing we seemingly agree on. And I would NOT include Afghanistan. The USSR invaded Afghanistan unprovoked. But the US was provoked by 9/11. You can argue whether or not the war made sense, especially after decades of grinding stalemate. I think Vice President Biden was right that Obama should have pulled the plug on Afghanistan in 2009. But whatever anyone wants to argue, Afghanistan harbored terrorists who killed thousands of innocent Americans. And however fucked up it got, I think one good outcome - which Putin himself supported at the time - was to show that acts of terrorism against big powerful nations means you will end up being fish food at the bottom of the ocean. Like bin Laden did. The Iraq war, on the other hand, was based on total bullshit. It was an unprovoked imperialist war. Putin and some European leaders, like Schroeder, tried to stop it. So the US arguing that Putin had no right to invade Ukraine after we decided to invade Iraq, unleashing a similarly unnecessary bloodbath, has always been a weak point. Putin simply decided to do what W. did, with his coalition of the willing limited to North Korea, Iran, and kinda sorta China. And, at the most basic level, Trump is seeking to end a war. Not start one. In the context of everything that happened, I personally view it as a massive betrayal of democracy and US institutions. As well as of Ukraine and NATO and Europe and other allies. But even viewed that way, Trump seeking peace is a lesser evil than W. starting a war in Iraq, in my view. I've thought about this one a lot, since it is how I get around the problem of dealing with family members I love, but deeply disagree with. My Dad was a WWII veteran and Reagan Republican who fully supported the Iraq War. So I just avoided the topic. I could still admire his patriotism. Even if it seemed very misguided. I think the long brutal impact of the Iraq War has a lot to do with why Republicans eventually turned against the idea of intervening in places like Ukraine and adopting "America First." Although the same "America First" Republicans still want to arm up for a war with China. So has anything really changed? These days, I have a niece and nephew I am close to who are pro-Trump. Even though I love her, it is easy to dismiss my niece as ignorant and reactionary. She watches Gutfeld and has no idea who Kevin McCarthy is, or what forces in the Republican Party drove him from power. Or why. My nephew is much smarter. He can talk fluidly about the discussion he had with W. about subprime when he and his partners at the big firm he works at paid Bush for a private discussion when he was in his post-Presidency "give a speech" days. But when my rich conservative nephew lets his guard down it is clear that he is naive about Congress, and politics. He mostly thinks they all suck. So it kind of makes sense that he'll just embrace a knee jerk notion of "America First." In my mind, it's pretty simple. And it fits very well with how the world and nations have always worked. My Dad, not necessarily by choice, happened to be born into the generation that, more than any other one, built the American century in the blood of WW II. Russians know even more than Americans about how awful that was. Along with his other children, I got the benefit of that global US leadership. But also witnessed some of the excesses like Iraq. And now some of his grandkids are embracing "America First", and saying we really don't want the American Century after all. Or maybe they do. But in some naive and poorly thought out way. Trump has no idea what he is doing. Whatever it is my beloved conservative family members are thinking, I still love them. Even though I know by voting for Trump they set America on the path to managing its own decline. Which Trump will do, ineptly. It's not the worst thing in human history. I'd argue the Iraq War was worse. I am hoping Ukraine is relatively safe as long as Trump is in power. Trump is a fool, but Genocide Man is not. So he'll try to appease Trump with praise and gestures, even as he concedes nothing. But Putin would be a fool to piss off Trump, who whether by design or accident is a remarkably good asset for Putin and his cronies and their interests. Europeans are not fools, either. So this means they hopefully have four years to seriously prepare for Genocide Man, Unleashed, after Trump is gone. Or whatever comes after Genocide Man. Russia is still a far weaker country than the US. And the Ukraine War cost Russia a lot, and the US pretty much nothing. This is not a strategic win for Russia. At least not yet. But congratulations! You don't deserve it. But congratulations, anyway.

In a word, yes. Although in some alternative reality, I suppose it is possible that Ukrainians parachuted into Moscow on Feb. 24, 2022. And started sadistically and genocidally slaughtering innocent people in the suburbs of Moscow. Maybe that is what Genocide Man wants you to believe. It's the same as saying that Trump won by 60 % of the vote in 2020, or whatever. And instead of certifying his landslide win Democrats sent a mob to the White House and trashed it and shit on the Oval Office desk and forced Trump to flee. Total bullshit. Genocide Man is still Genocide Man, and Trump is still a felon and a liar. Facts don't change. Buy enjoy playing Goebbels. Even if you suck at it.

I think that explains it. It is far less sinister or stupid motive than it seems. In fact, it actually is something to be proud about regarding America. That quote is what Steve Bannon told Michael Wolff about Muller going after Trump. It is a perfect quote in my mind. Bannon is a hit man who seems to have a love/hate relationship with Trump, who is an even more gifted hit man than Bannon is. And these people know what they are talking about when they use the term "hit man". If you are not Michael Wolff in disguise, you should be. You sure agree with most of what he writes about Trump. Pretty much what you wrote as recently as today. So as Wolff explains in his Act One book on Trump, and in the interview, Mueller was concerned about institutional stability. So he thought it was better to let Trump run out the clock, rather than give him a reason to blow things up by trying to throw his dumb ass in jail. Arguably, Mueller was not wrong. Trump ran out the clock, botched COVID, got lots of Republicans killed by pushing lies about vaccines, and lost to Biden. As if to prove Mueller was right, Trump only acted aggressively to take down democracy when he lost, and it was time to sick the mob on Congress. The far greater act of incompetence in my view was Merrick Garland. After what McConnell did to his SCOTUS nomination, Garland had every reason to want to be a hitman, in my mind. But he seems like he has the soul of a choir boy. So if Bannon is correct that the problem with Mueller was that you should not count on a Marine to be a hit man, why would one expect a choir boy to be a hit man? Garland had FOUR FUCKING YEARS to do what every fucking poll showed most Americans wanted him to do: bring Trump to justice for The Jubilant Patriotic Cop Beating, and let a jury decide. He fucked it up. Like I said, this actually can all be seen as a compliment to America. Most people would say Marines are actually hit men. But if you buy Bannon's logic, he understands that most professional military men and women have actual souls, unlike him and Trump. Trump seems like less of a fluke than he did in 2019, when Wolff wrote his book on Act One. He's back, after winning a plurality of the vote. So now one has to conclude that a big chunk of America actually wants a crazy hit man. And it also raises the question: did we now give Trump exactly what Muller feared? A reason to tear down the institutions and system that did him wrong? Maybe so. That said, the reassuring thing about Wolff's argument is that he thinks Trump is primarily a dumb ass who lacks the ability to plan or reflect. All he wants is attention. So the best hope is we just wait 1,361 days for the nightmare to end, unless Trump kicks the bucket before then. Cheer up. Only 1,361 days to go!

Well, you are of course correct about her. But I'm still rooting for her making something of herself. She has 87 months for re-invention. If Trump could do it, surely she can, too. I think Bruce Jenner was on to something. But the fatal mistake is the world didn't really need a transgender Republican in the era of Trump and LGBTQ-bashing. So Santos can learn from Caitlyn's grave mistake. By the time our gal gets out, we will have a Democratic POTUS. And America will be ready for a transgender Democrat, bursting with new personalities and an insanely cutting edge fashion sense, to run for her old seat. Stranger things have happened. And are happening right now.

Well, we will always have our devotion to virile young men with well hung cocks, Sis. That has already given us a lifetime of good fortune. Not to mention oodles of nutritious cum. What more could a girl ask for? Well, maybe a nice POTUS. But isn't that asking a bit much? The author of the essay trashing W. I cited agrees with you about W.'s personal qualities, of course. I think the fact that W. was popular, and came across as a decent guy who would bring you chicken soup if you were sick, actually helps explain why he was, if you buy the argument, the most destructive president in modern times. Even the MAGA faithful admire Trump thanks to his lack of kindness. He's an asshole. But he's their asshole. So it is actually a blessing that Trump is such a stupid fool, with small fingers to boot! It took years and two wars for W. to encounter the kind of resistance Trump has after a few months of his lousy second act.

Since I have been doing more than my fair share trashing Trump as the insolent pig, let me take a break for a minute and do the opposite. What I'm about to say in not really a compliment to Trump. Or my country, which I love. But I think it is mostly true. My neat party trick I've exhausted with most family and friends who are anti-Trump is I will ask them this. If you got to eliminate one POTUS from history, and it was either W. or Trump, which would you pick? Since most people I am close to are anti-Trump, including several mostly Republican siblings (they are the college-educated kind), the unanimous answer has been they would get rid of Trump. Then I surprise them by saying I would get rid of W. in a heartbeat. And keep Trump, as much as I despise him. It leads to interesting discussions. Most people despise Trump's crudeness, his contempt for democracy and the institutions it is based in, and his "megalomaniac" nature, to quote one brother. My reasons for dumping Bush are: 1) the Iraq War, 2) the subprime lending crisis, and how it blew up the world, and 3) the fact that he got away with those two horrors, and a lot more, while mostly being both popular and successfully authoritarian in a way that Trump will never be. Plus he was either a damn good liar. Or a fool who believed the shit his own warmongers fed him about WMD. Trump has 1,361 days to prove me wrong, and destroy the global economy. Or start a nuclear war. But the conclusion I am reaching is that W. represented the worst parts of US imperialism, and cowboy capitalism. Whereas Trump simply is a symbol of US decline. W.'s eight year reign had massively destructive consequences, globally. Bush was right that, in a real way, he was the last Republican POTUS. Everything about Trump is a conservative reaction to everything Bush fucked up. I'm a patriot. But given the choice between the imperialism of W. or the ignorant and crooked American decline of Trump, I think the latter is the lesser evil both for the US and the world. Mitch McConnell got it right when he said Republicans choosing Trump was a choice for the management of America's decline. Putin and Xi are thrilled. This guy is on to the same idea: What Donald Trump Learned From George W. Bush The author is right. We have been through this before, and it was objectively worse then. I think under W. much of the world either feared America, or perhaps respected us, or both. Now the rest of the world laughs at us, and plots against us. And Trump thinks he is winning. What a complete fool. But we deserve it. 49.8 % of us voted for this piece of shit leader, who is managing America's decline. We are a lesser nation thanks to him. But we voted for it. It's a democracy, and still will be. So we own the mess. Ugh! But hey. We still have 1,361 days to go!

US Supreme Court halts deportation of detained Venezuelans These fuckers need to be deported. And now. Especially that Black bitch. She was a DEI hire for sure. Same as that old Black smelly ass rapist with the pubic hair on his glasses or whatever. The incompetent Black asshole has DEI written all over his face. And what is up with that Latina? And, no, none of that Latinx shit anymore. And yes, I mean that ugly woman, who is clearly not like the attractive White woman standing beside her. She would fit right into a prison in El Salvador. Probably even speaks some Third World language or whatever. Maybe we should give a pass to The Jew. Trump is all in on Jews over Muslims. Who hires these socialists? Send them to fucking El Salvador now.

Duh!

And speaking of Evil Gays. For those of you who don't get a rise from Summer's smugness, here is one of my favorite Evil Gays giving an alternative version of Econ 101. But the point is still the same. Trump is an evil incompetent piece of shit POTUS. And America and the world know it.

Larry Summers summed it all up nicely, in a Harvardy elitist way that only Larry Summers can do. Poor @Barknaway! The stupid yapping dog used TikTok so masterfully to try to persuade us that Trump was something other than an evil incompetent piece of shit POTUS. And yet here he is. An evil incompetent piece of shit POTUS, sinking in approval just like in his first term. The difference in the sequel is Trump may actually yet wreck the economy. There is an upside. My one big disappointment with Season 3 of The White Lotus is that we did not have an Evil Gays subplot, like in Seasons 1 and 2. I missed the Evil Gay Hotel Manager or the Evil Trust Fund Murdering Gays. So if Mike White is paying attention all of this could end up in a great White Lotus season. Trump is a Straight rapist, of course. But Scott Bessent has all the makings of a genuinely Evil Gay in my book. Does anyone know who he fucks in the middle of the night, when he needs to blow off some steam from cleaning up Trump's daily messes? This has potential!

Trump is a traitorous pig. He is a traitor to democracy. His pig-like brain makes him weak. He thinks he is strong and smart. But he keeps showing America and the world he is stupid and weak. As Harris warned during the debate, Putin is eating the weak traitorous pig for lunch. This traitor belongs in jail. The weak stupid pig thinks he wants peace. He is actually working to create more violence. He is allowing Putin's genocide to work.

That's an outright lie. Fox News would never do such a thing! 🙄

So that must mean black smoke coming from a Tesla signals that the old Musk is still the asshole who was not elected? 😉 Musk stepping back from government work amid plummeting Tesla sales

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns Don't bothеr, they're herе

It actually is kind of funny that Trump has the brain of a pig. It will cause tragedy all over the world. It already has in Ukraine. And the middle class and working class will be fucked royally by higher prices and perhaps a recession. But in a way it is funny, really. America is this great superpower. And yet we elect a guy we fired, who has a stupid pig brain. Why is that not funny? Let's take the stupid insolent pig's press secretary at her actual loyal groveling words. She said literally "EVERYONE in the Pentagon" is against Hegseth. So let's see. Most generals and war makers are actually NOT woke liberals. They are cold-eyed realists. So if the stupid pig's stupid PR shill is to be taken seriously, what is it that EVERYONE - all these generals and war makers - sees that the stupid pig brain of Donald Trump prevents him from seeing? It is kind of funny, when you think about it. Our POTUS has the brain of a pig. But the generals and war makers are nothing compared to Wall Street and the billionaires and the Main Street businesses. They are all screaming in unison that prices will go up and the middle class will be fucked. And increasingly that we will have a recession. Trump promised to lower prices for the middle class. So why would he do things that will raise their prices and that have already met with vastly growing disapproval by the middle class? Why does the stupid insolent pig WANT to be unpopular? Obviously he doesn't. If YOU were a stupid pig, wouldn't you want to be loved, seeing as how you are actually quite dumb? So I think the obvious answer is that generals and war makers and Wall Street and Main Street can say whatever the fuck they want. But a pig brain is a pig brain. And it is quite stupid, as Trump is proving. So the stupid insolent pig just can't help himself but do dumb shit that he can't even see is really fucking stupid. This is America. It is kind of funny when you think about it.
