There CAN Be Consequences…

by MyBaconPress

Arresting the royal formerly known as Prince Andrew? Man, Europe has jumped to action against the perpetrators who show up in the Trump/Epstein files. That must be nice. I wonder what it’s like to live in a country with laws that apply to everyone. It seems like a good thing. I wish we had that here.

As the revelations about the files come out, big-wigs across Europe are, at the very least, losing jobs. Now not-a-prince Andrew has actually been arrested. This appears to have been quite the process. One does not, apparently, just arrest a Royal.

An image of Andrew, Virginia, and Ghislaine.

But since this photo of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre came out, his star has fallen steadily. First they stripped him of his honors and duties. Then they stripped his titles. They they tossed him out of his house. They made him as much of a “non-Royal” as they could. THEN came the arrest. Now we need to get the US serious about consequences of raping minors.

I really don’t like this attitude that they “get to” because they’re rich. If we don’t follow up, it won’t just be an attitude. It will become a truth that they get to rape our children because they’re rich. I genuinely hope we don’t let that happen…

Trump keeps saying he’s been “totally exonerated” in the Trump/Epstein Files. I wonder if he keeps saying it in an attempt to convince somebody, somewhere, or if his mind has devolved to the point where he has randomly decided on his own that he’s been totally exonerated in the Trump/Epstein Files.

Does Trump really believe no other country uses mail-in ballots? He keeps saying no other country has mail-in ballots but that’s not true. So I wonder if he keeps saying it in an attempt to convince somebody, somewhere, or if his mind has devolved to the point where he has randomly decided on his own that other countries don’t use mail in ballots…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, you want yet another example of Trump lying just to lie? Easy. He keeps saying he’s fighting the illegal drug trade. He keeps murdering people in the Gulf of Mexico, pretending he’s fighting the illegal drug trade. But he has moved huge numbers of law enforcement officers and agents who used to actually fight the illegal drug trade over to immigration so they can arrest people facing a possible misdemeanor charge – and maybe not even that.

So how does one fight the illegal drug trade if one takes the officers and agents that DO that and put them to work chasing undocumented immigrants? The words say one thing, the actions say something else…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Him calling me that [a traitor] has become a badge of honor because I’m not in his cult, I refused to bow to his demands to cover up the Epstein files to protect his friends…” That’s a statement by Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on Brand X about Felon 47 attacking her.

For his part, Felon 47 says he’s been “totally exonerated.” He means “totally redacted.” We have yet to see what the files actually say about him in full…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this point, the trumpster has done just about everything he promised not to do and has NOT done any of the things he promised to do. He hasn’t drained the swamp, for example. He has brought in new and worse swamp monsters. He invaded Venezuela in exactly the kind of unprovoked, nation-building move he promised not to engage in. Now he’s threatening to do the same in Iran.

Only… I doubt Iran is going to capitulate as easily as Venezuela. It’s a tough call. CLEARLY, the people of Iran are fed up with their leadership. Will they fight to defend it? Then again, people often fight because some moron outsider attacked their nation. A US assault might actually bring Iranians closer, common enemy and all that jazz.

Trump needs to stay out of jail by staying IN power. The whole country (read: world) hates him and there’s no way he can win honest elections. Even MAGA, while dutifully reporting total and absolute fealty to their Precious, seem to be staying home rather than participate. The GOP has won exactly one election since 47 infested the Oval Office again. The mid-terms loom. If control of Congress switches, Trump gets impeached, at the very least.

HE knows that as well as you know it and I know it and everybody else knows it. The primary difference is, I’m holding my breath in hopes for that day and he’s scared to death of it. At this point, Trump actually needs a war in order to try and mess with our electoral process. He’ll SAY it’s about securing the vote. He lies. It’s really about securing his freedom.

So there you go, MAGA. After lying to you about everything, all the time, now there’s one more. He’s going to start a nation-building, war of choice, just to try to stay in power and out of jail. American taxpayer money will be wasted and American youth will be destroyed, just so one craven, failed human being can try to avoid the consequences of his actions. Thanks, MAGA…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you ever talk to a MAGA, you’ll learn pretty quickly that they have no idea about what’s actually happening in the world and, most especially, in this once-great nation. Their information sources keep certain stories from them. That’s literally true. MAGA media simply doesn’t report certain things and/or offer weak tea reasons for some other things. The information divide has been the primary basis for the left vs right battles for quite some time and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find a way around it.

The problem is, part of MAGA conditioning is to never seek or trust information from non-MAGA sources. (There’s a reason MAGA has been conditioned to revile smart people.) The result? MAGA has nowhere to check information. They’re left asking Laura Ingram if what Sean Hannity said is correct. (It isn’t.)

One possible answer is Ground News. It’s a website, (click here). I don’t work for them. This is not an ad. Ground News gathers news stories from across the political spectrum and groups the stories by topic. They identify the political leanings of the publishers, left, right, or center. They also show the factuality of a given story, high, low, or mixed. They have little boxes called ‘Blind spots’ where they highlight stories being reported on one side of the dial but not the other. Both ways, by the way.

The main down side to Ground News is that it only covers actual journalism sources. Most of the information MAGA receives in their media is “opinion.” Take Fox Not-News, for example. They offer a few minutes each day of actual, hard news. They’re even pretty good at it. Then they bury that news under hours and hours of opinions dressed up as news shows. They call it “opinion” because an opinion can be anything from a considered thought on relevant and valuable information to an outright lie. And the vast majority of MAGA “opinion” consists of outright lies.

So it’s not perfect but it’s an outlet they might be able to trust and find out if they’re on the right track or not. You, too, by the way. I think you can send your MAGA there to get a full array of information. Tensions are getting pretty high, out there. The very least MAGA should do before the shooting starts is to make sure they’re killing people for the right reasons – or for any reason at all…

A Peek Behind The Curtain…

by MyBaconPress

So now 47 is saying that if he can’t get his election rigging bill called the SAVE Act passed in Congress, he’ll just issue an Executive Order that does the same thing. He wants to eliminate mail in ballots. He wants your name on your current ID to match your birth name. (Sorry, anyone who took their spouse’s name when they married. Tough luck, I guess.) They’re both stupid provisions, of course. But the most stupid part of all? Executive Orders are not laws. They don’t carry the weight of laws.

Obviously, he wants to get rid of mail-in ballots. That should be all the proof a thinking person needs to know he plans to rig the machines and he can’t as easily rig votes on paper ballots. Another way you can know that’s true is the claims that paper ballots are so easy to rig. As it happens, paper ballots are hardest to rig. That’s why he doesn’t want them. Paper ballots beat him in 2020 and paper ballots will beat him again in 2026, assuming we’re allowed elections.

I think EVERY American (and MAGA, too) should vote on paper ballots. My position feels buoyed by trump’s efforts to eliminate paper ballots. On second thought, since the machines will be rigged to increase red votes, MAGA can feel free to use them. Blue voters absolutely should not.

I expect to cast my absentee ballot in November, the same as I’ve been doing for years. Voting mail-in is easiest on the voters and most secure in the vote. No wonder that loser doesn’t want them around…

We all know Alexi Navalny died IN the hands of his political rival, Vladimir Putin. Now the best evidence indicates that he died AT the hands of his political rival, as well. He was murdered by a powerful neurotoxin found in a specific kind of South American frog. There’s no known instance of the stuff occurring naturally anywhere in Russia, though it can be synthesized…

Oh, the Gordie Howe International Bridge, eh? It gives us all a small glimpse into how Capitalism really works. See there’s a bridge connecting Detroit, Michigan in the US and Windsor, Ontario in Canada. It’s called the Ambassador Bridge and it was owned by a guy named Manuel “Matty” Moroun. It’s old (opened in 1929) and inconvenient. It connects surface streets on the Ontario side so if you use it, you’ll still have to wend your way through town. Oh, AND, it’s a toll bridge. The Moroun family makes money from the thing.

So, a new bridge was proposed. Bigger, better, and more convenient to use. ALSO a toll bridge, by the way. But if you’re getting ready to travel from Detroit to Ontario and you’re going to choose which bridge, most people, I think, would choose the higher capacity, more convenient bridge and that was designed specifically to be the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Such a common sense choice by consumers means Moroun’s Ambassador Bridge will lose traffic, which means Moroun will lose money.

Hey that’s Capitalism, right? Build a better mousetrap, and all of that jazz. A better way chooses the winners and losers, right? Or does it? Mr. Moroun, understanding the hit to his revenue, fought the bridge since day one. He knew his bridge was outdated and inconvenient, but he had the comfort of sitting back and enjoying the only route between the cities. He got to be lazy because he had the only bridge. I mean, the Moroun family could have arranged a new bridge as well, right? Instead, they filed lawsuits, all of which they lost.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge has been built and is ready to open now. Canada paid for the thing but they made sure to include US steel and US labor. It’s been a good, internationally cooperative project that promises to improve economies and lives all around. In 2020, Matty Moroun finally did the decent thing and he shuffled off his mortal coil, leaving ownership of his crappier bridge, the Ambassador, to his family. They have kept up the fight.

In a very real sense, he left them a weight around their necks. The Ambassador’s day has passed. As people shift to the new bridge, the revenues from reduced traffic will drop and that could threaten maintenance on the older span because you KNOW that if a Capitalist has to choose between profit and safety, well, you’re on your own. Profits first, always.

The new bridge is built, now, and ready to open. If you’re the Moroun family, what to do? The people have a new, better bridge but the Moroun family has something, too. Money. Here’s the real “Capitalism.” The Moroun’s have been spreading money around. Put a little (or a lot) into the right hands, you can STILL tie up the traffic. Moroun money has purchased them access to an excellent tool, the most corrupt President in the history of history. So they used it.

Matthew Moroun went to the White House and talked to 47 directly. We know the family has dumped large sums of money into Donny’s world and they likely left yet another big check because after that meeting, suddenly, the Gordie Howe International Bridge is seen as some kind of international security threat.

No, no details on exactly HOW the Howe Bridge is a threat. None needed, really. The Gordie Howe International Bridge will benefit thousands of work-a-day Joes all day, every day but it will hurt one powerful family of billionaires. There’s honestly no telling how this will play out. We can’t count on our “government” to do the right thing for the masses. Hell, Donny might bomb the thing, just to make the point.

But that’s how Capitalism really works. Build a better mousetrap, ‘Big Mousetrap’ will use their money and market share to bury you under lawsuits and blockades, limit your market, and try to wrangle control of (or copy and steal) your design. In Capitalism, money prevents progress as often as it enables progress. The actual question always comes down to who gets to keep the money, and if it ain’t the already rich, it ain’t happening…

Thanks, MAGA…

The article I saw had a tiny but relevant error. The headline read, ‘Inflation eases more than expected, hits nearly five-year low.’ But the error was in the first line, which read, “The Bureau of Labor Statistics yesterday reported the consumer price index rose 2.4% year-over-year in January—down 0.3% from December and the lowest since May.” See the error? It should say, ‘The Trump Bureau of Labor Statistics…” That small adjustment explains the rest of the numbers.

If they had wanted to be really accurate, the article would have read, ‘A trump toady at the Bureau of Labor Statistics provided numbers intended to make the pedophile fraudster happy.’ I mean, really, do prices feel like they’re rising at slower rates these days? And then there’s this: if inflation is rising at a nearly textbook rate, doesn’t that mean Jerome Powell is doing a good job and his policies are working perfectly? Doesn’t that call trump’s claims of incompetence into question?

I mean, not to MAGA, obviously, but to everybody NOT locked in thrall to 47? Either Powell’s policies are working well to curb inflation, making trump wrong about Powell, or the numbers are fudged making trump wrong about the numbers. Either way, trump is wrong…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MAGA has been dutifully defending the actions of the ICEholes just as they’re told to. They repeat the tales they’re told as though the tales have some validity, like they’re straight out of the gospel. It’s pretty clear to thinking Americans that the stories don’t hold up. When we have side by side comparisons of the evidence versus the comments from ICE, we can see for ourselves the ICEholes are lying.

I confess, being caught in lies over and over about the public events kind of scares me for the people we’ve heard stories about who have suffered abuse and even died in ICE custody behind closed doors. Now the federal government has opened a criminal probe into statements made by two immigration officers about the nonfatal shooting in Minneapolis last month of a Venezuelan national named Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.

To be clear, THIS government, this corrupt, evil government working overtime to inflict as much pain and cruelty as possible into people’s lives opened a criminal probe into a shooting. Apparently, the shooting was caught on camera and proved the story the agents told was false. But it has to be worse than that, right? Pretti and Good were both murdered in broad daylight, both caught on camera. Agents lied about what happened in those cases, too, and video proved it. THOSE agents aren’t facing any legal action, so why these guys? I’m thinking it must have been pretty bad. Thanks, MAGA…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of shootings, yesterday was the anniversary of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in which 17 people were killed and 17 more injured. THAT shooting, according to MAGA, was impossible to stop and should have resulted in every human being everywhere carrying as much fire power as they could manage every time they stepped out the door. I mean, obvs.

It was totally unlike that completely provoked Alex Pretti killing in which Pretti dared to have a gun he never even drew, let alone used. See how that works? I pay attention to what MAGA says about one shooting, then I listen to what they say about the next shooting. It becomes pretty clear MAGA positions shift quickly, as needed. It’s no wonder nobody believes anything they say…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During Pam Bondi’s tantrum on Capitol Hill the other day, she was asked at one point to acknowledge the Trump/Epstein survivors sitting in the room. She had been asked if her corrupt DOJ had interviewed any of the survivors. They haven’t. They don’t wanna. The survivors were asked to stand and raise their hands if they had reached out to the DOJ to provide information, but were rebuffed. This was Bondi’s response.

Bondi ignores Epstein survivors.

That’s some pretty aggressive, intentional “not-noticing” going on, there. I like how the survivors are looking at her. They don’t seem to feel the same shame Bondi is pretending not to feel. But that look, or non-look as the case may be, speaks volumes to me.

We now know Bondi is a co-conspirator. I mean, even if she wasn’t before, she certainly has embraced the cover-up wholeheartedly. At a minimum, she’s aiding and abetting after the fact. This photo makes it clear that Bondi has no intention of prosecuting anybody who engaged in the sex trafficking ring. None of the perpetrators, none of the clients.

There’s nothing about the Trump/Epstein files that doesn’t appear to be a cover-up, and one doesn’t cover-up honest, decent behavior. Thanks, MAGA…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It remains true, as conservative doctrine has taken hold of the world, every aspect of life has taken a serious downturn, or is about to. In this case, I’m referring to Measles making a spectacular comeback all over the world. The UK just lost it’s “Measles free” status because the illness is so widespread there now. All of it – ALL of it – is unnecessary. This is just what the world looks like when people govern by hope and wishful thinking instead of relying on facts and verifiable information.

I recognize my own propensity to pitch the occasional (cough) epithet here and there but all kidding aside, it seems the world is currently being run by some of the stupidest people in history and we’re getting exactly the stupid results people might have predicted. No, DID predict. At this point, the main question is which stupidity is going to kill us first.

It could be the spread of easily preventable diseases. It might be the return of smog-filled skies. Maybe it will be the effects of climate change. Maybe it will be violence. Maybe it will be something else, I can’t say. But all of those treats are on the way. They represent completely unnecessary pain and suffering and they’re all being brought to you by conservative orthodoxy. Thanks, MAGA…

Another Day In MAGAmerica…

by MyBaconPress

MAGA morality. That’s an oxymoron, like Jumbo Shrimp, but at least there’s such a thing as Jumbo Shrimp. There’s no such thing as “MAGA morality.” They have exactly ONE principle: what’s best for Donny? I’ve long said MAGA will do anything if they think it might please 47. Americans suspected as much when MAGA started lying about everything, all the time. Then Covid-19 hit and they killed their elders – over a million of them – because they couldn’t confess trump’s failings.

But not only did they kill them, they celebrated killing them. After all, they died from “comorbidities” and everyone knows that if you die from comorbidities, you deserve to die. That MAGA attitude killed over a million people in this country. They pretend to support law enforcement – until trump tells them to attack the Capitol building and “fight like hell.” Then they’ll fight – and even kill – law enforcement. They pretend to love the Second Amendment. Guns everywhere, for everybody all the time. Until someone they don’t like has one. Then? Having a gun is clearly a death penalty offense.

Now we have this story about a father living in Texas. He’s an immigrant. He got into an arguement with his daughter, Lucy Harrison, aged 23 years. First, he defended trump from charges of raping girls by telling his own daughter that if SHE had been a victim, he wouldn’t care, since he has two other daughters who live with him. And I guess he wouldn’t have cared because then, he killed her. This is a photo of the woman, a young pretty blonde women killed by an immigrant.

Lucy Harrison, forever 23

According to MAGA, we’re supposed to focus on those. None of the other murders that happened that day “count” and none of the immigrants who didn’t commit crimes that day count, either. We just strip it down to the most basic, single focus photo and scream, “IMMIGRANT! ARGH!”

Oh, I should mention, this immigrant, a white guy, seems to be getting away with it. The details behind what happened came down to just a matter of his word against his dead daughter’s word and, being Texas, authorities readily accept the “accidental shooting” story because they prefer to. But make no mistake. I believe this man murdered his own daughter because she said something about trump that he didn’t like.

I wonder if MAGA is going to start showing pictures of this particular immigrant who killed a pretty blonde girl like they do with others. At least the others have been captured, tried, and convicted. THIS guy, they’re giving a pass and letting walk. It’s almost as if their interest in immigrants who murder is limited to one group…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bill Kristol is a pretty well-established conservative, right? He posted on Brand X, in response to reporting that ICEholes shot a man ten feet away from them and then lied and said he was attacking them. Kristol: “Does DHS ever not lie?” Bill Kristol has noticed, but MAGA simply will not and there are none so blind as those who will not see…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gallup announced they were going to stop tracking Presidential approval ratings and people are surprised. Not me. Gallup hasn’t been a decent or respectable polling organization since the founder died and the son took over. And isn’t that classic MAGA? Donny’s poll numbers are in the tank. They reflect only the enduring love of self-deluded MAGA but it’s likely even some of them are lying. So, stop taking the polls, eh? If there’s no reporting of disapproval, there’s no disapproval, right? Jenius…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That racist video Trump the Pedo posted? The one that shows the Obamas as apes? The one trump knows nothing about because somebody else did it without his knowledge on his account late at night? The “somebody else” has never been disciplined nor even identified. Worse, 47 STILL doesn’t see what the big deal is. It’s just a simple, basic, long-understood racist trope. Why is everybody so upset? It just confirms what I already know: racists very commonly don’t know they’re racists…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In yet another weaponization of the law, Team Evil tried to prosecute six members of Congress over a video they made that reminded enlisted people they don’t have to follow illegal orders. I mean, how stupid is that? “Hey, they can’t make you break the law.” “Prosecute that man!” Weird, weird response. No, I get it. The video came out in response to Donny murdering people in boats in the Gulf of Mexico and sometimes, the Pacific Ocean.

So, see, maybe it was some kind of an affront to 47 so they have to be prosecuted. I don’t think saying things Donny doesn’t like is prosecutable yet. Neither do the courts, apparently. A grand jury would not indict the targets and now a judge has blocked the regime from punishing Mark Kelly for his part in the video by busting his rank. It’s the right thing to do, in view of the simple fact that Kelly only stated a simple fact. Military members DO have an obligation to refuse illegal orders…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought MAGA would celebrate Pam Bondi’s asshole performance on Capitol Hill the other day. She was SO effective at not answering any questions while shouting like a child and throwing tantrum after tantrum, she became a co-conspirator. You know, assuming she wasn’t already. I thought MAGA would celebrate her whiny, screechy performance, then decry a similar performance from any Democrat that might show up on scene and do the same thing. I was thinking Bill Clinton.

But MAGA seems to be unhappy with her useless waste-of-time performance as well. At least for now. MAGA is still allowed to get mad at Bondi. Bondi isn’t Donny. But MAGA media will explain to the rubes that Bondi is doing Donny’s bidding and they’ll fall right back into line.

“The Dow is over fifty thousand dollars!” That was Pam’s explanation for why it’s okay for rich people to rape our kids. That’s a dumbass excuse no matter what the situation, but most especially when one realizes the Dow isn’t measured in dollars. She’s evil and she’s an idiot. Based on the current regime, there seems to be a connection…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the “bright” side, um, if one can call it that, none of this is going to be much of a problem for us, here, in the near future. Team Evil has rolled back the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gases. An analysis found that enforcement of laws against polluters is nearly non-existent. Trump was named ‘undisputed champion of beautiful clean coal.’

In a completely unrelated event, a couple of days ago, a headline appeared in ‘The Guardian’ that read, ‘Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say.’ The first line of the article read, “The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said.”

Scientists estimate that since the dawn of life on the planet, Mother Earth has shuffled off 99% of all species that have ever inhabited the planet. Said another way, it’s pretty clear Mother Earth doesn’t give a fig about any particular species one way or the other. If we don’t save ourselves, she’s not going to step in with some magical fix. She’s just going to shrug us off and try something else. Feel free to connect those dots…

Corruption On Steroids…

by MyBaconPress

I saw this sentence in an article by the Guardian, “The UK and US have sunk to new lows in a global index of corruption…” Hey, no question, eh? I can’t speak to the UK, but the US has become a cesspool of corruption under this regime. The only real question is, “Where ISN’T there corruption?” The article specifically referenced trump and the trump/Epstein files.

Why did the US fall to 29th place on the list? The report cited “the use of public office to target and restrict independent voices such as NGOs and journalists, the normalization of conflicted and transactional politics, the politicization of prosecutorial decision-making, and actions that undermine judicial independence.” MAGAmerica sucks…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems inevitable that that would lead to this. The ICEholes are hiding their faces while they harass and brutalize people. The wear masks. It’s a crime to grab the mask and expose their faces so they get away with it. BUT… there’s a guy out there, called Dominick Skinner. He’s a Netherlands-based, Irish national and he created a website called ‘ICE List.’ (Click here.)

See, puppy killer KLAN – those are Kristi Noem’s real initials – said anyone working to identify ICEholes was subject to arrest. Skinner’s attitude? “I reposted that and said, ‘well, we’re not in the US, so send them to us.'” People started doing that and now he’s got quite the database of names.

The DHS says the ICEholes have to cover their faces for safety because of the increase in violence, ignoring the fact that the increase in violence comes from the ICEholes. Skinner had the same observation and added, “I always say that ICE aren’t actually fearful of their safety. What they’re fearful of is not being invited to baseball games or not being invited to the pub with their friends. Community exclusion – that’s what they’re fearful of.” Hmm, I’d guess these incel losers would be used to being socially excluded…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a Republican (of course) from Wyoming, has finally decided she might be just a little bit uncertain about events surrounding the Trump/Epstein files. She bravely did her level best to ignore the issue, fearing that if she gets the information she might have to react. She said, “Well, initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t know what the big deal is.'” At this point, one has to have their head WAY deep in the sand to not know what the big deal is.

“But,” she added, “now I see what the big deal is, and it was worth investigating. And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong.” What was it that prompted her to finally speak up? The revelation in the latest Trump/Epstein document dump indicating a nine-year-old victim. Apparently, the thirteen-year-old didn’t bother her all that much, but nine? So now we know that Sen. Cynthia Lummis draws the line on sex with children somewhere between the ages of nine and thirteen…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This might be a Mars/Venus thing. Men are bad enough, but I never understand women who have a tolerance for rape – most especially when the rapes are of children. One would think women would work together as a group to protect each other from that kind of violation. But we already know about Ghislaine, a woman who found and groomed girls for delivery to men. That’s not a “tolerance” of rape. That’s a predilection.

Then yesterday, we got to see Pam Bondi on Capitol hill defending the perpetrators. And she did it right in front of several of the survivors. Smiling. It was a psychopathic level of social disregard in my untrained, unprofessional opinion. It was hard to watch. She made it clear she has NO intention of holding any of the perps accountable. Apparently, in Bondi’s mind, those girls got what they deserved.

She didn’t like being called before Congress and she was sure as shootin’ not going to answer a single question that came from a Democrat. She brought a specially prepared binder called a “burn book.” It is what it sound like. It’s a book full of… well… burns, nasty things she can say instead of answering questions.
“AG Bondi, why was the name of that co-conspirator improperly redacted?”
“You’re stupid and crime was up in your district two years ago!”
“But you redacted the name of a co-conspirator only in the list of co-conspirators, apparently to try and protect said co-conspirator.”
“We fixed that twenty minutes after you pointed out that we’d been caught, you big bag of poo-poo!”

She had a page of “burns” for each of the Democrats participating in the “hearing.” Oh, and, likely, one for Republican Thomas Massie. What she did NOT have was a single relevant answer to even basic questions. I actually got angry watching. I mean, really mad. It took me a few minutes to cool off and regain my composure after I turned away. It’s times like this I wish I believed in Hell, where there should be a special place for people like Bondi…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That racist video trump posted? The one that shows the Obamas as apes? The one trump knows nothing about because somebody else did it without his knowledge on his account late at night? A reporter noted that 47 frequently suggests Joe Biden didn’t know what was going on in his name and “now this racist video is posted on your social media – “

Donny interrupted and snarled, “I know a hell of a lot better than you do. You don’t know what’s going on. I know what’s going on.” So he doesn’t know anything about the thing he knows all about? Got it…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you know how I know that even Donald Trump doesn’t believe there’s any evidence implicating Bill Clinton in the Trump/Epstein files? Trump hasn’t appointed Clinton to a high-ranking, White House position like he has with so many of his other co-conspirators…

Speaking of the Trump/Epstein files, I’m disturbed by a recent trend. We keep being told how many times someone’s name appears in the file, as if that’s something. It’s not, and I don’t care. I’m not impressed that trump, likely, shows up tens of thousands of times. I want to know about the people whose names come up in connection with illegal behavior. That’s all.

The rest is becoming a distracting noise. As an example, I believe Bill Clinton when he says his name is in the files, but not doing anything wrong. So do the Republicans, by the way. There’s a reason they want his testimony behind closed doors and it’s NOT because they want to be open and forthright. They’re working toward smear season because it’s all they’ve got, there…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The jobs report came out Wednesday. It was expected to be so bad, the regime issued early warnings. Apparently, you just have to look at it right and you’ll see how great it is. “No,” we’re told, “lower numbers are good.” We were told to expect lower numbers going forward. Look, I know trump is crashing the economy and people are losing their jobs in record numbers so, yeah, I’m expecting lower numbers going forward. It turned out, the numbers were better than anticipated – even by the regime.

We DO still have to take into account the “Keep Donny happy” fudge factor, though. Maybe the number was real, maybe not, but they certainly expected lower numbers. The regime told us the lower numbers are related to all of the “illegals” they’re deporting. But wouldn’t that create MORE job openings? It’s a bit insulting that they just lie about everything all the time, but it’s quite insulting that they don’t even try to come up with believable lies. The economy is crashing and the jobs report is very low because every move trump has made has been to benefit the wealthy while harming the not-so-wealthy.

“Wait, that last sentence suggests he’s hurting the not-so-wealthy on purpose.” Yep. We’re being ‘put in our place.’ We got a little too big for our britches wanting decent working conditions and livable wages. Now we get to see what life is like when our overlords are NOT so generous and gracious. It either that, or they get to see what it looks like when you’ve so infuriated 300,000,000 people all you can see is an ocean of pitchforks and torches.

The jury has yet to decide how it plays out but, if we let them, they plan to hurt us…

Nothing But Football…

by MyBaconPress

Well, that was, technically, a football game. I recognize the trappings. New England had no business being there. They ended up with fourteen points but not until Seattle was done. Once the game was secured, Seattle started the celebration. The fact that the “game” hadn’t ended yet wasn’t really relevant.

The Patriots ended up in this Stupor Bowl because of the benefit they gained from an easy schedule. A couple of things fell their way in the playoffs. I think if Bo Nix hadn’t gone down, the Broncos would have represented the AFC in the big game. But he did, so they didn’t. It might have been a better game, though.

It might not have been. Seattle played very well. Seattle came to play. Seattle earned their victory. No weird calls, no controversies, just good, clean, bad-ass football. I think the Niners have the potential for the same kind of defense, if they can just get their defense out of the infirmary and onto the field. It seems that being able to play your players is a real advantage.

Now seems a good time to point out that Seattle’s Quarterback, Sam Darnold, spent some time in the Niners Red and Gold under head coach Kyle Shanahan. Even Darnold credits his time with the Niners as having revived his career. He says he learned tons from Shanahan and Niner Quarterback Brock Purdy. Maybe Seattle should send Shanahan a ring – or at the very least, a thank-you card.

I noticed we all survived Bad Bunny. I’m not the person to comment on the halftime shows. I rarely watch them. When I sit down to watch football, I’m not really in a concert mindset. I DID think it was smart. The NFL has been trying to cultivate a following among the Spanish-speaking crowd. I suspect Bad Bunny’s performance went a LONG way to helping that goal.

As a sidebar, and just for fun, it should be remembered that the NFL and President Pedo have a history. 47 once tried to disrupt the NFL by investing in a rival football league, the USFL. The USFL wasn’t supposed to be a rival to the NFL. They scheduled their games in the off-season of the NFL, trying to avoid conflict. They played for three years like that. They ran into conflicts anyway.

Rejecting the competition, the NFL pressured venues not to sign USFL teams under threat of losing the NFL team. The USFL started drafting top talent into it’s league robbing the NFL of said talent for their league. The USFL was badly managed, financially. They were in trouble nearly from the beginning. So they conceived a plan. The “they” in that sentence? That was the owner of the New Jersey Generals, one Donald J. Trump.

The USFL moved their schedule to compete directly against the NFL, then sued the NFL for violating anti-trust laws. The idea was to try to force a merger. This next bit never really made sense, to me, and I presume that’s because there was some backroom crap. The USFL won their suit. They won. But they were awarded one dollar. One whole dollar. According to anti-trust laws, that amount was automatically tripled. They came away with three dollars.

The USFL folded and never played their next season, scheduled to go directly head-to-head with the NFL. Like everything else trump is associated with, the league lost money. Over $163 million dollars in 1986 money. More importantly, the NFL has never forgotten. In 2014, the owner of the Buffalo Bills, Ralph Wilson, passed away and trump tried to buy the team. The NFL rejected him soundly.

The Super Bowl can’t really live up to it’s hype these days. The NFL spends so much time and money telling us how great everything is going to be – and then it just… isn’t. The conference championships are almost always better games. The commercials were once a big deal but they’ve dropped off, too. The cost for those things shot straight through the roof.

Seattle Seahawks fans are happy. New England Patriots fans are not. Pretty much nobody else cares one way or the other. The season is over and a new season dawns. As of now, right this moment, the Niners are tied for first place in the NFC West with a 0-0 record…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m going to stop with that. Yesterday’s game wasn’t very good but it DID offer a welcome break from the insanity that is the US today. I just had a nice time. I didn’t fret what the next crazy thing will be. I didn’t even think about him yesterday. He’s never far, though, and the specter of his return to my daily reality looms darkly in my windshield. So, just for today, nothing but football…

Our ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ Moment…

by MyBaconPress

We all know that Donny likes to give the game away. He says the quiet part out loud. Inevitably, he tells us what he did, even the criminal things, especially the criminal things. The left likes to portray that as stupid, like, maybe, he doesn’t realize he’s telling on himself. As the Trump/Epstein file thing plays out, though, I’ve started to see it differently. I don’t think he’s accidentally “telling on himself” like the moron we know him to be.

I think he’s bragging. I think he’s letting us know – he’s done something again, he got away with it, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Hell, his entire legal odyssey has been about getting away with crimes using the money he has. Most people simply don’t have the resources to buy their freedom by buying the judge. (I’m pointing at you, Aileen Cannon.)

We all know the wealthy elite live a life of privilege. I suspect we all know they get away with crimes the rest of us don’t, too. After that, the only question for them is, “How far can we go?” I think that’s the whole point to raping the girls. He (they) did it to prove they could. Raping our children is the special little “treat” they get because they’re rich and powerful. I’ve come to believe this is, very much, a “Let them eat cake” moment.

There’s no evidence Marie Antoinette ever actually said those words – she was ten years old the first time the phrase appears – but the phrase was illustrative of the attitude of the French nobles to the masses, who were starving at the time. It reflected the fact that the gentry were living high on the hog, enjoying all of the finer things in life and doing what they wanted to do, while the masses were increasingly starving and desperate. Does any of that sound at all familiar in today’s context?

There’s a story in history known as ‘Droit du seigneur’ (‘right of the lord’), also known as ‘jus primae noctis’ (‘right of the first night’). During feudal times, the idea was that the lord of the manor claimed the right to deflower any young woman on her wedding night. Although there’s no evidence of anyone actually doing so, stories like it go way back in history. Those stories reflect the power and privilege of the “haves” while reinforcing the subjugation and lower status of the “have nots.”

In both of those cases, the message is clear: If you’re rich enough and powerful enough, the law doesn’t apply to you. How better to prove that than get away with otherwise illegal things? And that brings me to the worst part. I think 47 brags that he gets to rape our children because of who he is, because he DOES get to rape our children because of who he is. We, the desperate masses, are being told right now, in real time, every day and to our faces, they get to rape our children if they want to.

Despite his lying claims, the Trump/Epstein files contain tons of incriminating evidence against the guy. Lots of other people, too. But I’ve come to agree with Jon Stewart who says nobody else in the files is going to jail. Jeffrey Epstein went to and died in jail. Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting, comfortably, it seems, in a minimum security prison still enjoying many of the finer things in life, though, admittedly, it IS still prison. But certainly NOT what most people envision when they think of prison.

We KNOW other people appear in the files. Rich and powerful people. We’re watching all of this garbage play out, “Ooh, whose name appears in the files and how many times?” So far, trump holds the record. I guess because he’s the biggest raper, the best raper. But all of that distraction is starting to feel like corporate media protecting rich and powerful people, possibly themselves among them.

It’s just a waste of time to learn that Roy Wood, Jr or Micheal Ian Black appear in the files in the context of television shows they made. I don’t CARE who was using Epstein’s plane to get around, so long as they were just using Epstein’s plane to get around. It’s noise and innuendo and as long as it IS noise and innuendo, both sides can use the vague reports to insinuate wrong-doing on the part of their political opponents. But it doesn’t have to be vague.

There is (was?) recorded evidence against these wealthy, privileged elites committing their crimes with these young ladies in the form of DVDs. Each disc was labeled with “[rich guy]+[victim]” and the date. So, you pick up the first DVD, type the name of the [rich guy] on a piece of paper, and set the disc aside. Then you pick up the next disc and type THAT name. You keep doing that until you’ve gone through all of the DVDs. (Don’t skip Donny’s.) Then you release that list of names. Easy, right? Straightforward, right? It might not even be all encompassing but it’s a great place to start prosecuting.

But nobody is doing that and nobody is going to do that. It’s infuriating. I find myself wondering what the masses are going to do about it. When they say, “We get to rape your children,” do we just shrug? ARE we going to let them get away with THAT, too? There are clearly no cops on the beat to turn to. The cops are protecting the rich, not the kids. What do people do when the cops can not, WILL not act?

The French people rose up. Marie Antoinette found her royal head rolling regally down the street. Perhaps there’s a clue in that. John F. Kennedy said that when you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable. I’m now waiting and watching to see if the American people are really just going to accept what we’re being told, begrudgingly or otherwise…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I didn’t make a mistake.” More truth. He didn’t make a mistake. He did it on purpose. He posted the video that depicted the Obamas as apes, a classic trope of bigots everywhere. He knew what he was doing. He’s trying to distance himself and blame others today only because the reaction was so bad, even from his own evil people. But this is just more Donny, telling you a truth about who he is. It wasn’t a mistake. It was intentional…

ALREADY Cheating For 2026…

by MyBaconPress

Listen, I’m about to write something and I feel like a heads-up is in order because it’s the kind of thing that normally pukes from 47’s putrid and fetid mouth. The difference between him puking it out, and me writing it here is that when HE says it, it reflects his teeny, tiny mind. He’s setting up crimes. He’s trying to explain away a loss. He’s projecting. He’s distracting. He might be trying to do all kinds of nefarious and evil things. When he says what I’m about to say, it’s all about him and his oh-so-crushable, hyper-fragile ego. Even he says so.

At the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5th, 2026, he said of the 2020 election, “They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would have had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I have a really big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible. The first time they said I didn’t win the popular vote. I did.”

It’s important to remember that at the time of the 2020 election, there was no need to rig anything. We, the people, were stacking bodies in refrigerator trucks for storage because so many people were dying so fast from his failed handling of Covid-19. The economy was flat-lined. Millions were out of work. Prices were down at the time because nobody had any money to buy anything but his terrible management of Covid led directly to the inflation explosion Biden had to fix. Most people genuinely hated trump for his complete failure at the job.

But when I write this thing I’m about to write, there’s no ego involved. It’s an honest warning, based on nothing more than a sober and careful analysis of information available today. It goes like this: If the Democrats don’t win control of Congress in this upcoming election, it will be because the election is rigged.

Not the pretend kind of “rigged” President Pedo always lies about. I mean truly and honestly rigged. I base THAT, again, on available evidence. There have been many special elections over the last year. Cons have won exactly one. Red district, blue district, it hasn’t mattered. People, Americans and MAGA alike, are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and that has been reflected at the ballot box already.

So he sent a team of his crony criminals into Georgia to raid the election office and seize information he has no legal right to. He says he’s trying to prove he won Georgia in 2020 because he just knows it. In my opinion, he didn’t go to Georgia to prove anything about 2020. He’s setting the stage for cheating in 2026. He suggested the Federal government needs to “nationalize” the election in about 15 states – blue and, very definitely, swing states. Uh-huh.

Setting aside that he only sees problems in the blue states, the Constitution is quite clear that voting is a State thing. The Federal government doesn’t get involved. He can’t legally do what he’s threatening but he does all kinds of illegal things and nobody says anything. There are no crimes if there are no cops. That’s important, because everyone on the planet knows that if Dems win Congress in 2026, there will be cops again and his crimes will be recognized AS crimes.

The reason it’s important to remember that voters kicked Donny’s ass in 2020 is HOW they did it, because that’s the ONLY answer to doing it again: Vote on paper. DO NOT use voting machines. Our “elections” have become increasingly unpredictable ever since those damnable things were introduced and we need to avoid them like we would avoid the Plague or worse, Donny himself. It’s my personal suspicion that Donny is so sure he won 2020 because he paid all the right people all the right money to rig the election by subverting the voting machines. When we all went to paper because of Covid, he lost.

So vote on paper. Remember, Donny always says the quiet part out loud. After the last election (2024), Donny confirmed that he “won” because Elon was able to manipulate tabulating machines. “Nobody knows those tabulating machines like Elon,” he said. Not the voting machines themselves. The tabulating machines that count paper ballots. We need to dump them, too. Paper ballots, hand counted. THAT is how we get back to the Constitution in this once-great nation.

We’re not going to get the ‘no tabulation machines’ part in place in time for 2026, but the least we can do is vote on paper. Once the anomalies start showing up – and they will – we can sue for recounts and eventually force hand counts anyway. It sounds hyperbolic but I mean it: if you love America you’ll vote blue – and you’ll vote on paper…

MAGA Mike, the Johnson ran his mouth again and I think the part that bothers me the most about his comment is that we’re going to have to listen to MAGA pretending it’s a perfectly serious, reasonable statement that probably reflects absolute truth. After bitching that three Republican candidates lost their elections, the Johnson said, “It looks on it’s face to be fraudulent. Can I prove that? No.”

Well, then, don’t say it. I mean, anybody can make crap up, then dismiss it with a “Can I prove that? No.” Here, let me show you. Someone said MAGA Mike the Johnson beats his wife on a daily basis. Can I prove that? No. I heard MAGA Mike the Johnson was giving $25 dollar blowjobs behind the local gay bar in his home town. You had to let him finish the full blowjob before he gave you the $25 dollars. Can I prove that? No.

How about this one: MAGA Mike the Johnson is a spineless toady lacking all principle and dignity and willing to do any disgusting and degrading thing he’s asked (told) to do by his Precious in the White House no matter how stupid and/or incompetent it makes him look. Can I prove that? Well, with even a cursory look at his track record, yes, actually…

Conservatives have a kind of slogan they like to repeat: “If you’re not liberal when you’re young, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re old, you have no head.” Yeah, it’s cute. It’s wrong, though, so I fixed it: “If you’re not liberal when you’re young, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re old, your brain hasn’t calcified.”

Like so many other people who become more and more conservative as they age and their brains slowly turn to bone, Bill Maher is moving to the right. He doesn’t seem to realize it’s happening. In fact, he denies it. But on the January 30th episode of ‘Real Time with Bill Maher,’ I watched Maher spar with Joe Scarborough about Ilhan Omar and Maher sounded very conservative.

Maher was bitching that Omar, an immigrant US citizen of Somali descent, makes observations about problems in the US. Ignoring the fact that Omar is a member of Congress and it’s her job to observe and try to fix problems, Maher says she’s not showing enough appreciation for being in the US instead of Somalia. Maybe he thinks she doesn’t smile enough.

Scarborough tried to point out that Maher seemed to be making the point based on Omar’s criticisms. He pointed out that as an American citizen, she had as much right to complaints as anyone else. Maher denied he was basing his opinion on her observations. He just, somehow, knows, Omar doesn’t appreciate America enough. (The way any conservative might “know.”)

Scarborough never did get to the point where he asked Maher the one question I was shouting at my television: what are you basing your perceived lack of appreciation on if not her observations about the state of our once-great nation? No matter how you slice it, I heard Maher saying that because the US is still better than Somalia, she should just appreciate her lot and shut her mouth. Sounds pretty conservative to me…

Even ICE Says It Wasn’t Good…

by MyBaconPress

Well, this ought to settle an argument. It won’t, of course, but it ought to. The ‘ICE Firearms and Use of Force Directive’ is a handbook guiding interactions between ICE agents and their victi–, um, civilians. It outlines requirements for certain engagements including what actions agents should take before resorting to deadly force.

“Deadly force is not authorized solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect,” the handbook states, so we know Ross messed up right there. “Deadly force against a fleeing subject is only authorized if there is probable cause to believe that the escape of the suspect would pose an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or another person.”

Good didn’t pose a danger, imminent or otherwise, to anybody. ICE had already recorded the license plate of the vehicle. If they needed to – and they didn’t – they could have gone to her house later. To me, everything I saw in the video said, “bad police work,” and now ICE’s own handbook says “bad police work” too.

As Good was turning her vehicle to ensure that she did NOT hit her killer, the laws of physics dictated that for a very brief, momentary instant, the car pointed directly at Ross, who was standing where he should NOT have been standing, according to the ICE handbook. Had he been a better agent, he would not have been standing where he was and would never have even appeared to have been in danger.

Maybe this is confusing so I’ll sum it up for you: according to ICE directives, Jonathan Ross was the problem in that encounter, not Renee Good. Ross’s poor procedure put his safety at risk, not Good…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, since 47 posts to social media all night and he sleeps all day – save it, we all watch him snoozing – when the hell does this guy do any Presidentin’? The malingerer-in-chief must have delegated all of his responsibilities because he sure doesn’t seem to be doing anything except bitching about how hard life has been for him and how mean everybody is to him. He really is a whiny little bitch. Just a little something to remember the next time you hear him whining about Biden’s autopen…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, this is weird. I’m starting to think maybe these ICE raids aren’t so bad, after all. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re terrible. But since this policy has been put in place – by Stephen Miller, by the way, because Donny’s too busy posting to social media or sleeping – the Dems keep winning special elections. I haven’t checked too closely but I think the GOP has won exactly ONE election since Donny infested the White House a second time.

I don’t believe red voters are voting blue. Instead, I think red voters are staying home, unable to support what they’re seeing on their televisions and, sometimes, right down the street. It leads one to a conclusion that if ICE just keeps up their ICEhole ways, the left should be able to manage a sweep of Congress, followed by an impeachment that won’t be corrupted by compliant toadies. Like it or not, this November is the very last chance the US electorate has to put the country back to right – and we may not even get that chance.

It’s a real moral quandary. It looks like one might simply begrudgingly tolerate the ICE harassment for a greater good down the road, the ability to restore sanity to a once-great nation. On the other hand, the future is never guaranteed. Tolerating one outrage in the hopes that it might lead to something better down the road STILL leaves one tolerating outrage.

But if we’ve learned anything at all about Americans over these last years, it’s that Americans are an amazingly stupid bunch of people. As a group, I mean. If ICE stops attacking people in the streets today, most Americans will have forgotten all about it by November. It will lose it’s impact.

I guess it’s less of a quandary than I thought. We don’t have any control over it and I do believe the raids will continue so, really, the idea that these ongoing raids are contributing mightily to the outcome of the upcoming elections is less of a quandary for me more of a possible bright side to the ongoing abuse…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The previous section, of course, depends on Americans get to vote and getting a fair and honest election. At this point? Odds are long. Look, this is simple. Our Fearful Misleader knows as well as everybody else that if he leaves office, he has to stop shoving all of that beautiful lucre into his pockets and, more importantly, he goes to jail. EVERYBODY knows it. The Left knows it, the Right knows it. Everybody knows it. So it’s cute as hell, when people talk about the upcoming elections and this possibility or that possibility. I do it, myself. (See the previous segment, where I talk about how ICE raids might help decent people in elections.)

I already don’t believe any of the claims the regime is going to make about all the “problems” they found when they raided a Georgia election office. No, they didn’t find 11,780 more votes hidden under a table. But Donny is clearly setting the stage to corrupt the midterms – assuming he can’t find a way to cancel them completely. I suspect he’s using his Father-of-Lies complaints about the lost 2020 election as cover to get into voting centers and corrupt 2026.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Word is, Donny isn’t going to attend the Stupid Bowel because California is too far away from Washington, DC. Or maybe because he doesn’t care for the musical choices the NFL made, Green Day in the pregame show, Bad Bunny during halftime. I don’t care why he doesn’t contaminate the state, just so long as he doesn’t.

But it turns out, he’s not coming because he doesn’t want to hear an entire state “Boo” him at the same time. His advisors made clear that getting booed in a long, sustained chorus of the hatred the world feels for him might be poor optics. I wasn’t sure if that was the real reason or not until I read that the Delusional Dotard himself said he would be welcomed by the crowd if he went. “They like me,” he lied.

If Donny is claiming we like him, it’s because he knows how much we effing hate him to the core…

Never-Ending Trumpery…

by MyBaconPress

A brief review: The worst President in the history of Presidentin’ steals his way into power then forces his way into control of the Kennedy Center. His teeny, tiny ego causes him to try to include his name in the name of the building. Nobody complies and it remains ‘The Kennedy Center’ regardless of what he does. But the performers scheduled to appear there – whatever it’s name – don’t WANT to be associated with Donny or anything about him so they start cancelling appearances.

Now, suddenly, The National Embarrassment has declared the Kennedy Center needs to close for renovation. Well, this should be… gaudy. Meretricious, even. (‘Meretricious’ means ‘attracting attention in a vulgar manner – and who is more vulgar than this waste of flesh?) I guess this is his clever ploy to keep from having quality performers canceling gigs because the values of the Kennedy Center, today, are in direct conflict with messages of decency…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, Todd Blanche, one of Donny’s protective toadies working as hard as he can to obscure details of all those years when Donny was raping children for fun – but ALSO overseeing a prosecutorial review of the Trump/Epstein/Maxwell sex trafficking case because, why not? – has declared the review of the Trump/Epstein/Maxwell sex trafficking case is “over.”

You’ll never guess, so I’ll tell you: It turns out, after all of that, there’s nothing that might warrant further prosecutions. Blanche said. “But that doesn’t mean we can just create evidence or that we can just kind of come up with a case that isn’t there.” This from Team Evil, infamous for “just kind of” coming up with cases that aren’t there.

I guess that means there are no more impediments to getting the Trump/Epstein files out there, then, right? Just release the rest of the information and we’ll ALL take a look at the information and see if anything comes across as actionable by any, you know, competent attorneys. I’ll bet competent attorneys will be able to see something, even if self-blinded Team Evil chooses not to…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I didn’t expect this. According to ProPublica, the names of the shooters in Alex Pretti’s murder have been revealed. Weird. Well, maybe. The shooters are Border Patrol agents. Their names? Jesus Ochoa (43) and Raymundo Gutierrez (35). On the one hand, the government is working hard to protect the names of goons in their goon squad. On the other hand, we find out these guys did the shooting. It’s likely just the atmosphere in the world today, but I noticed that the names of the shooters sound rather… Hispanic.

Wouldn’t it be just like Team Evil and the Evil Regime to throw two of their agents under the bus just because those two agents happen to have the same skin tone as the people they’re supposed to be attacking? And how do you suppose Ochoa and Gutierrez made the team in the first place? One would think the minute they showed up at the ICEhole office, they would be hooked up and shipped out. Either way, there’s still no statute of limitations on murder. Add their names to the list for future prosecution…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The dark but inevitable result of deporting people based on a random number (“We have to make 3,000 arrests a day!”) is that you start to arrest people just because they’re people currently available to be arrested. THAT means, that while your bosses are out there, pretending and insisting that you’re only arresting the worst of the worst, you’re actually arresting, say, five-year-old boys in bunny hats.

Right, five-year-old boys in bunny hats that happen to be here, in the US, legally. Five-year-old boys in bunny hats that happen to be here, in the US, legally and have committed no crime. Then, once you HAVE arrested five-year-old boys in bunny hats that happen to be here, in the US, legally and have committed no crime, you might as well ship them to a holding facility in Texas anyway. You DID, after all, go to all the trouble of violating that person’s constitutional rights.

MAGA has been told the father ran. He didn’t. MAGA was told the mother refused to take the boy. That isn’t true, either. In fact, the agents in question refused to let a woman keep custody of the boy. They had a number to hit that day. Arresting the child didn’t do anything to make America safer but it helped the agents to meet their quota. Personally, I think that’s a horrible reason to traumatize a child…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All I’ve heard is that this new, useless “documentary” about Melanomia is being screened to empty theaters. Well, no. I’ve heard the thing is terrible, devoid of information and misleading, too, but the main thing is, empty theaters. Everywhere, all the time.

Now, suddenly on this fine Monday morning, her movie has suddenly broken all box office expectations and taken in more than $8 million dollars? I suspect a trick. One person, likely, “bought” one showing for $8 million dollars. Two people might have split the cost, $4 million each.

That’s how conservative books hit the bestseller lists, you know. Someone makes a huge investment up front. THAT purchase gets counted in initial sales and adds to the bestseller consideration. THEN, quietly, the books are returned or “remaindered.” It’s a trick to make it LOOK as though someone has written a bestseller when they haven’t done any such thing.

I suspect a similar play here. Everything says this “documentary” is a vapid, vacuous bomb and theaters around the world are reporting ridiculously low ticket sales. The only way it could bring in $8 million dollars is trumpery. Fortunately, these things usually come out. Sooner or later, we’ll learn who the pigeon is. $8 million dollars. That’s the best trick SHE ever turned…
