The LAST time the low-information, conservative, anti-American crowd came together and started forcing their low-information, conservative, anti-America views on everybody, the battle that ensued was between the Blue and the Grey. THIS time, it looks like it’s going to be the Blue vs the Red. It seems the good guys always get blue. I like that. Blue is my favorite color…

I suspect 47 thinks he’s being tough when he receives a visit from some other country’s leader, and then attacks them publicly over some pretended “issue.” I guess it plays well in MAGA media. For reasons I can only pretend not to understand, he only seems to do it to darker skinned world leaders, too. The thing is, so far anyway, he attacks dark-skinned foreign dignitaries with false information. That kind of makes him look dumb… everywhere – except MAGA media, of course.

He did it with Zelenskyy when Team Evil was all butthurt that Ukraine hadn’t said “thank you” enough. Now he’s done it with the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa. 47 claimed, falsely, that white farmers are being attacked and killed in South Africa. MAGA loves stories about dark-skinned people killing white farmers. Do you remember when they were telling that exact same story about farmers that lived along the Mexican border here in the US?

They had LOTS of fun with that one – until some wet blanket reporter investigated the charges and proved they were nothing more than a fun story for racists. Farmers were NOT getting their heads chopped off by illegals along the Mexican border. So, you won’t be surprised to learn that white farmers are NOT suffering crime at a much higher rate than other citizens of South Africa. It’s just a fun story for racists.

So, of course, 47 is all in on it. He’s SO sure it’s true, he even went so far as to show a photograph of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo being buried after being murdered. He didn’t SAY it was a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo and, in fairness to him, he likely didn’t know or care that it was a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He believed it for the moment because it fit his story for the moment so he showed it for a moment so he could get his moment in MAGA media.

But if your story depends on showing actual atrocities from the Democratic Republic of Congo and pretending their imagined atrocities in South Africa, your story doesn’t deserve to be told. But maybe someone could check on the women from the Democratic Republic of Congo? Oh, yeah, the US isn’t in the good guy business anymore…

The left-leaning media is characterizing the discussions among Team Evil as to exactly how much damage they should inflict on defenseless individuals as some kind of ‘Freedom Caucus Revolt.’ Ooh, how did MAGA Mike handle THAT? (He told them to STFU and vote as instructed – and they did.)

Was there EVER any question in your minds that the GOP would fall in line and do as they’re told? Not in mine. They always do as they’re told. I’m not sure they know HOW to stand up, since their spines simply don’t seem to exist. Sure, they’ll say things in public, but they vote dependably.

Donny is out there, promoting his “Big, Beautiful Bill.” He says it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bolster the US economy. Remember, kids! It’s ALWAYS a safe bet that if 47 says a thing, the opposite is true. It’s almost a fact of life, like sunrise. So when he says the “Big, Beautiful Bill” is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bolster the US economy, you just KNOW the one thing this behemoth nightmare does NOT do is bolster the US economy.

Experts in economics seem to be in a near panic about the US destabilizing their own economy to such a dangerous extent. Our credit rating is down and investors are flocking to other places with their investment dollars. Instability is a bad, bad thing for most investors and the US is very unstable at the moment. Well, at least it’s current “leader” is. Unstable, I mean.

It DOES strip regulations related to buying a silencer for your gun. I mean, obviously. If you’re trying to stimulate the economy, what better way than eliminating some gun regulations?

It also eliminates all of that pesky oversight from the courts the cons hate so much. It never crosses their minds to simply stop breaking the law. They need to silence the people who keep pointing out that they’re breaking the law. The bit they tossed in? It reads: “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or restraining order…” Sure, you can make a ruling, but you’re not allowed to enforce that ruling.

It should go without saying that they attacked transgender people a little bit more, too. Remember, the goal is to stimulate the economy – and MAGA finds attacking defenseless people one of the most stimulating activities they’ve ever pursued.

They’re trying to bribe women into having babies. Sure, the economy sucks. You could be on the streets in a moment’s notice. Maybe you can feed your kid, maybe you can’t. Need a doctor? Oh, HELL no! Pay no attention to the fear that an actual shooting war becomes just a little more likely, here, in Bizarro America every day. “Have you a baby. Here, we’ll give ya $1,000 dollars.”

They were GOING to call these little baby-bribes “MAGA Accounts.” Apparently, they wanted a little credit for creating the things, and naming the accounts after their cult seemed like a lovely way to make sure people understood, this was a MAGA thing. Alas, that didn’t satisfy the ego of the Precious enough so at the last minute, the accounts were renamed “Trump Accounts.”

It’s classic GOP. During the campaign, The Felon started claiming – falsely, of course – that FEMA wasn’t on the ground for a natural disaster in South Carolina. FEMA WAS on the ground, helping as much and as quickly as they could. Donny was just lying, as he does so easily. But, it seems he wasn’t JUST lying. He was foreshadowing.

While FEMA worked just fine under – well, every President not named ‘Trump’ since it’s inception – it’s not working now. It turns out, cutting funding and personnel cripples the agency. Who knew? I mean, everybody but MAGA knew but, ignore that part. Now, even MAGA gets to see what it feels like when “government inefficiency” shifts from being a fun taunt to being a real thing.

Here’s what IS true, and I’m not making this up: it looks very much like natural disasters don’t pick and choose between Red Hats and Americans. We ALL get hit at the same time and at about the same rate. Hurricanes aren’t a surprise to anyone. People even refer to “hurricane season,” suggesting it’s a regular event.

They’re coming, like it or not, and FEMA isn’t ready, at least, according to FEMA. In fact, since I know the regime fires ANYBODY who dares tell any truth, I wonder why the director of FEMA hasn’t been fired as well. They should just drag him out of the– wait, what? Oh, he HAS been fired? Yeah. Perfect. That’s certain to make America great again…
