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…

The Betrayals Never Stop…

by MyBaconPress

“People that own their homes, we’re going to keep them wealthy. We’re gonna keep those prices up. We’re not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that someone who didn’t work very hard can buy a home.” – Delusional Donny, the Dumbass.

Everyone knows the cost of housing is too expensive. By now, we all know that the costs are inflated by Wall Street buying up single-family homes as quickly as they hit the market. The euphemism the news likes to use is “inventory shortage.” That’s a misdirect. They use it to support “build more houses,” which Wall Street with also buy as quickly as they hit the market.

You can file this under yet another promise made, promise broken. He promised he was going to lower the cost of housing, or try to. Now he’s saying, blatantly, that, no, he’s not interested in doing that. Instead, he’s going to make sure the Haves keep what they have and the Have-Nots remain empty handed.

The frustrating part is that I still have a functioning long-term memory. I remember that the housing prices have been artificially inflated since the housing bubble created by the derivative market starting in the late 1990s and exploding in the early 2000s. Nobody made any effort to restore realistic pricing after the crash of 2008. Too many people had bought too many homes at inflated prices by then.

In an effort to get the housing market moving again, Wall Street was allowed, for the first time, to buy single-family homes starting in 2011. They didn’t really start digging in until 2014 but once they did, they began consuming with abandon. Donny promised to address the problem. The fix is so simple, even he could actually get it done so when he said it, I kept an open mind.

All we have to do is return to the days when Wall Street was barred from buying single family homes and require them to divest their single family holdings in a fairly short time period. I recommend two to five years. The only bill I’ve heard of that covers the topic says ten years. I think that’s too long, but I’d take it over the current, “Screw you, it’s mine!” we have now…

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

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” Ariel in ‘The Tempest,’ and, somehow, the most accurate description of our once beloved government. That Shakespeare guy was really pretty good…

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

Hold on to your wallets. There goes the dollar. Donny has made his pick for the next Fed Chair: Kevin Warsh, a loyalist toady with no more knowledge of the economy than the Orange Moron himself. Actually, Warsh’s level of understanding won’t be relevant. Warsh’s job will be to do what Donny tells him to do without question or hesitation. It won’t MATTER if Warsh knows a choice trump has made is a bad move, he’ll do it because he’s ordered to do it.

That destabilizes the dollar. People are already fleeing the US dollar in droves and, if I may bastardize a Bachman-Turner Overdrive song, “B-b-b-baby, we just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet.” Messing with the money is a common last straw for empires throughout history. I don’t care how special we see ourselves, it will be no different for us…

Remember, every accusation from a con is an admission. Donny is claiming protestors in Minneapolis are being paid to be there. Donny is a known liar and hasn’t got one shred of evidence to prove his lie. He just says it. His source? One should see his lie as proof that Donny pays people to attend his rallies, protests, and insurrections. We KNOW his campaign paid to have some of the violent criminals present on J6, for example. We also know – nobody has to pay Americans to protest this regime…

Holy Gods, we’ve been coming at this from entirely the wrong direction. It’s a much, much shorter list to ask, “Which rich and powerful men currently in, or coming into, the current regime do NOT appear in the Trump/Epstein Files? Because the more information comes out – as slowly as possible, and now we know why – the more it seems that if you ever hung around Donny socially, you raped kids.

That’s got to be hyperbole, right? But, Jeez, it sure seems like everyone surrounding him now, makes appearances in the Trump/Epstein files. It’s important to remember, there are names, lots of names in those files, of people Epstein was trying to schmooze or testing the waters of interest but didn’t do anything sexual with any minors. But now we know, there are plenty who did.

And, listen, just as a sidebar, aren’t you amazed – boggled might be a better word – at the sheer volume of files these guys have under their control? I would have been happy with just a list of the names on the DVDs Epstein recorded, apparently secretly. Those are the pervs I’m most interested in because those seem to be the DVDs Epstein used to blackmail people for having sex with minors. Um… allegedly.

But millions of files? At some point, we, the people have to ask how long so-called “important” people knew about this and did nothing – except, maybe, participate. Why did Epstein get a sweetheart deal the first time he got arrested and why wasn’t he arrested again sooner? Sadly, we all know the answer. Under normal circumstances, rich people get to rape poor people. Special rules for special people, you know. But I digress.

It’s the casual emails giving away the game right now. Elon wanted to know “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Howard Lutnick wanted to have a family vacation on the island. Okay, sure a family vacation doesn’t seem like anything nefarious, but kinky is kinky and we don’t know Lutnick or his family. Or, perhaps, the “family” was just the excuse. The emails seem to confirm at least one dinner Lutnick attended on Epstein’s island, with no mention of any family. There are more. Many more.

AFTER the publicity started damaging reputations, both Lutnick and Elon puked out the same story, “I didn’t know the guy and I never hung around with the guy.” But both Lutnick and Elon have email exchanges with Donny’s best friend from back when things were still private, working out times to get together and hang around.

I’ll tell you this: It’s just me, but I’m giving higher consideration to the emails written under the comfort of assumed privacy than the public disclaimers. That is to say, I think Elon and Lutnick are lying when they insist they didn’t know or interact with Jeffrey Epstein and/or Ghislaine Maxwell and now, because of their own lies, I suspect they DID have sex with minors…
