This will be forgotten on the ash heap of history just every other promise that The Great Incompetent has ever made to anyone.

When Senator Feinstein was showing up addled in a wheelchair to the Senate, Democrats were amongst the people who were saying it was time for her to retire. She was in better shape than Mitch McConnell is, she never disappeared for three months. Not a single Republican in the Senate has said anything about McConnell. A big difference between Democrats and Republicans, Democrats have the ability to self-reflect and speak publicly and not walk in lockstep. Republicans don't seem able to do that.

It's so stupid that The Great Incompetent is now blaming Ukraine for the price of diesel. He can't take responsibility for anything, any time. It's always someone else's fault with this embarrassment in the White House.

Everything you fear is true, sometimes, it's true. Rep. Massie from Kentucky has been consistent and non-partisan with demanding transparency and compliance with the law pass by Congress for the release of the files. It's so surprising he's a Republican elected official. Oh wait. The GOP has just gotten rid of him.

The Great Incompetent really is a creepy man.

From the Terrible Maps series. China's population expressed in units of Canada.

A member of European Parliament trolled Trump by welcoming Canada as an Associate Member of the European Union yesterday. Shout out the Heated Rivalry. "Dear Prime Minister Carney, I'm really excited we are formalizing our long-distance relationship," Damian Boeselager, a member of the Greens–European Free Alliance, said during a speech in Brussels. "Our history has had its ups and downs, but hey, we recently had a bad breakup with the Brits, and you seem to be going through a rough patch with the US," he said, referring to Brexit and Trump's insane trade war respectively. "So clearly, we are both open for something new." "And for us, choosing you, Canada, and Mr. Carney is quite easy," said Boeselager. "You have green hydrogen to keep us warm, you have maple syrup to keep us happy, and 'Heated Rivalry' to keep us entertained. You have poutine, the Mounties, Celine Dion, and Leonard Cohen and, of course, almost every famous Ryan or Justin I can think of." "Furthermore, you Canadians possess humankind's rarest skill, and that is the ability to apologize. You have courage, Prime Minister, which you have shown by standing up against Trump's gaslighting, something we still have yet to learn," he continued. "And we know that Canada will never be the 51st state, and apparently maybe also not the 28th member state, even though you would be very welcome, but maybe we could become the 11th province of Canada." "Long live Lake Ontario, across the oceans, our hearts will go on," he added, citing the beloved Dion song. "Thank you." While Canada may not become the 28th member state of the EU, it is now formally moving towards becoming an associate member, a distinction that would afford it a slew of benefits and access, deepening its connections to Europe as its alliance with the U.S. frays beyond repair.

Pete Hegseth's wallet was stolen including his driver's license. Do you think he's hoping for identity theft?

Dialectics is Hegel I say, not being a philosophy major, before it was Marx. Insecurity. I've argued in some other thread, at some other time, on here that I half think that the current insecurity is deliberate. People are less willing to work together for their common interests when they are desperate and more concerned about survival than about enrichment.

Long ago he was morbidly obese, which he mocks other people. But enough about him. Any more of his pardonees been exposed as pedophiles or neo-Nazis this week?

Governor Beshear appoint a temporary replacement already. Challenge the Republican laws trying to knee cap your authority. Play to win.

I thought he rented that boat for a good chunk of change? It's hard for me to keep up. I concur, shoes are so important.

Gen-Xers came of age during the Reagan revolution. For many this supply-side neo-conservative hellscape we've been living in for the last 40 years is all they know. The direct attacks by the American right-wing on the middle-class, working-class and farmers is assumed to be the only economics there are. Enjoy your wedding. It's hot and humid still in the south, I hope your summer suit breathes.

In hind sight Biden should have pardoned more people to save us all from The Great Incompetent's inquisition of anyone who was "disloyal" to our current small-handed, feeble minded dictator.

A toddler has just been scolded by mom about genocide.

Double bill with Melania - 20 days of choosing outfits.

The Treasure Department is now making it easier for The Incompetent's crime family to engage in money laundering for foreign interests. Senator Sherrod Brown’s Corporate Transparency Act required corporations and LLCs to tell the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, FinCEN, who actually owns or controls them. That remote control, often handed through multiple shell companies, is called “beneficial ownership.” It’s all about finding out who, ultimately, benefits from the corporation or LLC’s activities. This week, though, Bessent issued a new rule that not only ends that requirement but also directs the agency to delete all the beneficial-ownership information they currently hold on U.S. persons (like Donald Trump and his kids) that could be used to prove past money laundering crimes.

Step past the steam pile of shit, and continue on with your day and your thoughts.

Enough with the deadline Governor Beshear, it's time to make an appointment for the three month MIA Senator, who has yet to say anything to Kentucky voters.

I thought it was full of the gold leaf he's been stealing for his occupational therapy of craft work and decorating. Today he was doing the plane's toilet in gold leaf. Craft work and decorating keeps him calm and delays his psychotic rages.

Back to the topic - after that "brief" eye candy diversion. I know that Democrats don't want to mention the "B" word - Biden. Under Biden's four year presidency average monthly job growth was 409,000 jobs. Under The Great Incompetent the total job growth between January, 2025 to January, 2026 was 359,000 jobs. In a full year this incompetent White House regime has seen less job growth in a full year, than Biden managed averaged every single month. If you want jobs in the economy don't vote Republican, it never goes well. Obama handed The Great Incompetent a growing economy which TGI fucked up with his complete failure to manage through the pandemic. Biden handed TGI a booming economy which The Great Incompetent fucked up with his tariffs and the policy of lots and lots of foreign wars and high diesel price policy.

She has a future with MAHA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Best to address the lies without directly engaging - in my humble opinion. When you're walking along the street and come upon a St. Bernard's dump do you step in it, or do you safely avoid it and comment "wow that was a big shit." It's tempting to take the hate bate.
