If Biden set a trap for him – any trap – meant to “go off” only AFTER Donny seized power, intended only to make Donny look bad, and then the trap triggered, successfully, and made Donny look bad, who’s the smarter man? The guy who set up the open-ended trap, or the guy who was unable to see it and stop it?

It’s a rhetorical question. Biden didn’t set any traps. The things that are going wrong in the country, today, are NOT Joe Biden’s doing. They’re not Barack Hussein Obama’s doing. This is all down to Trump. All of it. No one else gets the credit, no one else gets the blame. Well, that last part is wrong. EVERY one of the enabling lickspittles who help him and support him deserve some measure of the blame. They can form a support group as they all burn in hell together.

It’s been seven months since he and his cronies infested the White House. In seven short months, he has destroyed America’s reputation, America’s standing in the world, America’s relationship with trading partners, and he seems to be working as hard as he can to destroy the American dollar, once the fiat currency of the world.

A fiat currency is one that isn’t backed by a commodity or precious metal. The thing about a fiat currency? It only works if people trust the issuer. NOBODY – and I DO MEAN NOBODY – trusts Donald Trump. (Even MAGA knows better. Oh, sure, they’ll get in your face and SCREAM at you that nobody is greater that 47, but in their heart of hearts? They know who he is…)

This is from the Guardian: “Gavin Newsom can mimic Donald Trump all that he wants to,” JD “Just Dance” Vance told Fox News host Laura Ingraham this week, “they’re still going to lose unless they get better policies that actually serve the American people.” See? Bizarro America on opposite day. This, from the team that is so sure they can’t win based on their policies they’re actively cheating, right out in the open, for all to see.

Speaking of which, I’ve already received a second flyer from the GOP, helpfully “explaining” to me the kind of damage that occurs when a party tries to gerrymander a state in an effort to control the outcome of an election. So when the GOP gerrymanders Texas to gain five extra seats, that’s just good politics because they “deserve” them, but when Democrats gerrymander California to offset Texan GOP chicanery, why, that’s a moral sin above all others and no decent person should support it? Right, that makes perfect sense…

Okay, listen. If you have a friend who is a Democrat and lives in a red state? Advise them to leave the Democratic Party. Advise them to re-register as “Declined to State” or whatever that state calls undeclared or independent voters.

You see, as we get closer to “elections” in this rigged, bullshit MAGAmerica, you just KNOW the GOP is going to start purging voter roles. But they’re only purging Democrats. They don’t purge Republicans, obviously, and many conservatives still claim to be independents, right now, so they can’t easily purge independents from the voter roles without the risk that they might purge some of their own – and they need every vote they can steal, being so unpopular and all.

Your liberal (Smarter? Better informed?) friends can still caucus with the Democrats. In fact, in changing their registration, they increase the chances their vote will be counted. They can’t purge you if they don’t know you’re a Democrat, see? But you can still vote with the Democrats for decency and democracy…

MAGA spent years bitching and bitching and bitching and bitching and bitching and bitching and moaning and whining and bitching some more about weaponizing the DOJ, which was not happening at the time. Now? Oh, they’re having a great time watching Donny try to “get even” with his “enemies” (people who tell the truth) through a weaponization of the DOJ.

Hypocrisy, thy name is MAGA. I don’t know where he picked up this phrase he’s using, “mortgage fraud,” but, suddenly, everybody (hyperbole alert) who has ever uttered an unpleasant truth about the orange moron is under investigation for “mortgage fraud.” Although, in fairness, his fraudulent attack on John “walrus mustache” Bolton pretends Bolton mishandled classified materials.

I’m guessing these “charges,” like nearly everything else that vomits from his horrible face (he continues to brag, honestly, about his sexual assaults) are pure fabrications, but they will cost his targets, I’m sorry, I mean “victims” time and money. Even Fox Not-News has come out against the practice, highlighting the obvious political motivations from the tiny-handed trumpster.

So, a quick lesson for MAGA. When Donny was investigated and convicted it was because he actually committed the crimes of which he stood accused. He was/is actually guilty, see? Making up charges and then having your cops pursue the made up charges is the very definition of weaponizing the DOJ – and it’s Jeffrey Epstein’s very good friend, Donny, doing it to others, not the other way around…

A measure of the popularity of MAGA? Nancy Mace, one of Donny’s favorite pets (for the moment) was supposed to speak at an event held by a far-right, anti-trans group called ‘Moms for Liberty,’ whose slogan might be, “We’re at liberty to block your freedom!” When she got there, she discovered the room meant to hold 100 people only held eight. Eight people, total. And this is a group of people who believe the same delusional bullshit Mace believes. She should have packed the room, right? She canceled.

At one event, Mace claimed she would “debate anyone.” Then, anyone who arrived at the event wearing a shirt that indicated their opposition to her stupid positions was asked to leave. That sounds more like “run from a debate with anyone.” Classic MAGA: tough in groups, not so much individually…

If you take blood pressure medication, you know that it causes these… spots. I don’t know what they’re called but they can be quite large and quite noticeable. Most of us just wander around with a purplish spot on our hands or arms. Not Donny. He tried to hide them with what looks like foundation. Of course, blending isn’t his thing, so the effort to hide them with make-up serves, mostly, to highlight the area. In trying to downplay it, he draws attention to it.

That’s his relentless ego in direct conflict with his relentless stupidity…
