I’m pretty sure this “story” is distraction trolling but if you were going to execute Joe Biden in 2020 and then replace him with a robot, why would you NOT make the robot work better? Then again, Biden did a pretty good job, so the robot did okay with policy and just looked like it was in cognitive decline at a key moment? Why would one NEED a robot that acts like it’s in cognitive decline? Humans do that just fine, all by themselves?

Is it possible this is just the right’s response to Biden’s success a President? I mean, he should NEVER have run the second time, but his time in office was quite successful. He cleaned up the mess 45 left him and had the strongest economy in the world again, which he then left to 47, who has ALREADY decimated the good Biden did. It took him less than 100 days. That’s some serious incompetence. The best incompetence, the strongest incompetence.

There are really only two ways this thing can be: either 47 really WAS trolling (likely) or he really believes Biden was executed and replaced in 2020. I wish I could guess definitively but based on some of the other crazy things 47 claims to believe, one cannot simply dismiss the idea that he might actually believe it based only on how completely stupid it is…

While he was on the campaign trail, 47 used to whine that foreign countries were releasing criminals onto the streets of America. SO… have you noticed the number of criminals HE is releasing onto the streets of America? He started, of course, with the J6 rioters he sent to disrupt the 2020 election, many of them violent and, thankfully, several of them already re-arrested and returning to where they belong. Now?

He keeps pardoning people convicted of fraud. He has pardoned so many fraudsters, I’ve lost count. You don’t suppose it’s one of those “kindred spirit” kind of things do you? Like, it takes one to know one? HIS kind of people? When he does it, he SAYS it’s because they’re all (conveniently) “victims of Democratic injustice,” but the common factor among the pardons seems to be million dollar contributions to him or his PAC (which means him).

To be clear, these people were investigated, charged, tried, and convicted. It didn’t happen because of any political party. It happened because they were criminals engaging in crimes. Oh, and for clarity, they were NOT only defrauding liberals. On the up side, there doesn’t seem to be any political consideration surrounding these decisions. It’s just pure greed on The Taco’s part. It’s simple: pay a million dollars, buy your loved one (or yourself, but that might be redundant) a pardon.

I’ll tell you this: I’d bet that even MAGA doesn’t like that so much. It’s just straight up pay-to-play. The GOP used to see themselves as the party of law and order. That’s a pretty tough image to maintain when there’s a sign on the White House back door: ‘Pardons, $1 million dollars, each.’ I’m pretty sure that’s not what MAGA voted for…

I suppose this will be the beginning of the rift. Musk has come out against The Felon’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’ You know the one. It’s the one that promises to add trillions of dollars to the national debt while gutting the social safety net and hurting millions of Americans, just so rich people can be richer.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Muck posted on X. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” It’s weird to say this, but Musk is right on this one. He wasn’t done, either. He added in a second post: “Congress is making America bankrupt.” Then came the threat: “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”

In this Citizen’s United corrupted government OF the rich, BY the rich, and FOR the rich, he can do it, too. The fix to America’s financial woes will NOT be found in tax cuts, no matter how many times that failed and ridiculous story gets floated. It’s probably the single dumbest economic move a government could make at this point so, of course, the GOP is all in.

I get it, MAGA. The ONLY thing you care about is seeing my liberal tears. They may prove harder for you to see through your own tears, though, and I guarantee you, you’re going to suffer everything I suffer. If you live in a red state, you’re, likely, going to suffer even more…

Okay, so, tell me. How many Republicans have YOU seen since the House passed 47’s “Big Beautiful Bill” expressing dismay about some provision in the bill they “didn’t know was in there?” I’ve seen several. They didn’t even read the thing. It could have a provision in it that says all Congress critters have to give ALL of their money to Donny, and they wouldn’t know it because they didn’t read it – but they voted for it because they were told to vote for it.

I guess, on some level, that makes sense. That’s the problem with such an absolute lockstep compliance with party orders. Since you’re going to vote as ordered anyway, why bother reading the bill? And now the GOP members are answering that question. We should have read the bill because someone might slip some really stupid stuff in there. If nothing else, it would have given them a chance to come up with a better defense for their indefensible actions had they known what their constituents might ask them about.

“Freedom” for gun silencers? That’s in there. Shackles on states trying to regulate AI? That’s in there, too. Courts can’t enforce their rulings? You betcha, THAT’S in there. All Congress critters with initials ‘MTG’ must regularly humiliate themselves and publicly grovel before the President? No, they didn’t put that in there. They didn’t have to. That happens already…

Hey, speaking of idiots, Joni Ernst. When one of her constituents noted that people will die because of the provisions of the Big Beautiful Bill and the decimation it brings to Medicaid just so rich people can be richer, Ernst trotted out her “defense.” “Oh, we’re all going to die.” Do you think she drives with her eyes closed? Sure that would be dangerous but, hell, we’re all going to die anyway, right?

I suspect that her eyes are wide open. I suspect she knows darn good and well that, while we ARE all going to die, we ALL do what we can to forestall that outcome as long as we can. Killing people and justifying it with a blithe, “we all die” didn’t play well and it shouldn’t play well…

My, how the mighty have fallen! And in only 136 days. It’s impressive, in it’s own way. To be the leader of the free world one day, and be a humbled, failed, laughing-stock of a state only 136 days later. C’mon, that’s big stuff. That took effort. It was no accident. We’re now run by the stupidly blind leading the stubbornly stupid. These days? It’s downright embarrassing to be an American. Thanks, MAGA. We owe it ALL to you…
