Billions for Argentina, not one penny for Americans. Obviously, millions and millions for the minions, too. Puppy killer Kristi Noem is getting not one, but TWO new jets. $172 million dollars.

Maybe that’s a clue as to how he can fire everybody and stop paying most of the government’s bills – and that was before the shutdown – and STILL be showing a nearly $2 Trillion dollar deficit. (It would be far worse if he hadn’t imposed those massive tax increases on everybody through his tariffs.) That money’s going somewhere, by the gods. More on that from Ronald Reagan in a moment…

Yeah, this just figures, doesn’t it? Remember back when Donny was seriously mismanaging the Covid-19 pandemic, creating so many unnecessary deaths? MAGA doesn’t like climate change. (No, stay with me.) Because science kept betraying their faith that climate change was fake, they decided they didn’t like science, either. So, when Covid-19 reared it’s ugly head – see? We’re getting back to it – MAGA, after an initial brush with complying with science – decided to denigrate any and all scientific input on the topic.

When masks and social distancing were the only weapons we had, they wore eye-masks or none at all and held “Covid Parties.” Lots and lots of them “showed the libs” all the way to the morgue. THEN, when a vaccine was developed, MAGA refused the shot. Well, except Donny. HE gets it. He gets it to this day. He tells the minions not to, but he does. Now, obviously, MAGA didn’t have any decent reason to refuse the shot. So, they made ’em up!

That’s no big deal to MAGA. It’s part of being in the cult. The truth is their enemy. They came up with some good ones, some seriously scary stuff. Each shot contained a tracker. People who get the shot die from the shot because of the complications it caused. Get the shot and then get hit by a truck on the way home? That was the shot’s fault, obviously. (MAGA is not good with correlation.)

I have a second, generalized position about MAGA: every accusation is an admission. I say “every accusation” knowing full well one should avoid absolutes and I keep waiting for the exception MAGA would use to paint me a fool, but so far, every accusation proves, eventually, to be an admission.

The reason I mention that is this: it turns out, even MAGA claims about the dangers of the Covid-19 vaccine are the exact opposite of the truth. It’s early days, yet, but it turns out, Covid-19 mRNA vaccines could unlock the next revolution in cancer treatment! Granted, not by itself. But combined with Immunotherapy – the last ‘revolution in cancer treatment’ – the vaccine helps bodies target tumors that might otherwise go undetected.

Get yourself a MAGA friend. Ask them for advice. Always do the opposite. You can’t go wrong…

Canada, eh? They spent $75 million dollars to show an ad in the US featuring Ronald Reagan explaining why tariffs are bad policy that hurts a country’s own people. In the ad, Reagan says, “When someone says: ‘Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes, for a short while it works, but only for a short time.” There’s more. “But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.”

He added, “High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens: markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.” That’s Ronald Reagan explaining 47’s tariffs.

Donny, of course, is angry. He cancelled all trade talks with Canada for “as long as his tantrum lasts.” (I may have added the quotes.) In response, Canada pulled the ad. It’s too bad. It was good information. But Canada has to contend with Tantrum Donny so they stood down, being the grown-ups in the room…

I’ve got to say, if MAGA ever finds out what’s really going on in this once-great nation, I think they’d be just as mad as everyone else. I know, that sounds strange, but I hold that MAGA does NOT know what’s actually happening. Virtually every evil deed committed by Team Evil is “sane-washed” by MAGA media. They receive a constant stream of curated “information,” carefully managed to keep The Deceived deceived.

Do you remember the other day, when Donny read off a list of things he has reduced the costs on? It was wondrous. The only real problem? It was also pure bunk. Costs are not down on, well, anything, really. As he sat and read off the list, I knew he was lying and so did most other people. But that soundbite wasn’t FOR Americans. It was for MAGA. That clip got played on a loop in MAGA media and by the end of business, Friday, they KNEW prices were down on everything. Donny had told them so.

But they’re going into grocery stores. They’re pulling up to gas pumps. Maybe they need a new washer. They need medications. They’re getting their price increase notices on their health insurance right now. Their media is telling them one thing. Their day to day lived experience is showing them something else entirely. I say again, if MAGA ever figures out what’s really going on in this once-great nation, I think they’d be just as mad as everyone else…

Yeah, he’s TRYING to be as cruel as possible to Democrats in an effort to “punish” them for trying to keep millions of Americans – Democrats AND Republicans – from losing their health insurance. But Donny doesn’t CARE if people lose their health insurance. He wants to keep all the money for himself and those medicare subsidies would take away from the billionaires – and, apparently, from Argentina.

The thing is, he kind of can’t hit the Dems without hitting Republicans and Red hats, too. Worse, the red states tend to be taker states – by definition, states that take more money from the federal government than they pay in. Red states depend FAR more heavily on federal aid. When he slashes programs, they impact those red states, not to mention red districts in blue states.

He’s claiming the programs he’s hitting are all “Democrat” priorities but every state has been working on renewable energy for no reason other than it’s the obvious smart move. So how does he cancel renewable programs that don’t impact red states? The answer is, he doesn’t.

No, he can’t really hurt only Democrats. He’s taking out Republicans and Red Hats, too, just as collateral damage. But the MAIN point, I think, is that he intends to inflict so much damage on Americans. What a piece of…um…work…
