There must be some more bad news coming for Donny pretty soon. He recently decided… no that’s wrong. He doesn’t “decide” things. Everything is impulse with this clown. Anyway, a recent impulse saw him bomb Iran again. Iran responded by bombing US assets in Jordan. The US, of course, claims total annihilation of whatever target they wanted to hit – perhaps another girl’s school – while simultaneously insisting Iran’s response didn’t hit anything.
That’s their official story. It turns out, though, the USS Abraham Lincoln wasn’t resupplied for such a long time because Iran had taken out the bases the US used to do that. Team Evil was trying to cover up the successful response by Iran so they didn’t acknowledge the destruction. The problem is, they didn’t do anything to compensate for it, either. They just – didn’t resupply the ship.
You will not be surprised to hear that Iran considered being bombed an act of aggression. For it’s part, the US says that’s not fair. It wasn’t aggressive at all. Instead, they called it a “limited, precise action” against what they said were mine-laying forces. That’s an interesting distinction. What they’re saying is, if, say, an Iranian sniper took out a single, orange, bloated, Jabba-the-Hutt type, golfing moron, that wouldn’t be an act of aggression. Just a “limited, precise action,” right? Hey, they set the definition…

Well, to be fair, it seems 47 may be making a way for more oil into the US. That may or may not bring down costs at the pump. We all know the story: greater supply equals lower prices. We all also know the reality: gas companies set the price at whatever the market can bear regardless of how much they have on hand. (We have lots of feel-good stories about free market capitalism that have no basis in reality. “Supply and demand” is just one of them.)
47 says he’s going to revive Venezuela’s oil fields. It’s only going to cost American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. (Make Venezuela Great Again, eh?) Then, all of that beautiful lucre goes into some very specific pockets. There are a few nuances. Team Evil’s direct entry into Venezuelan oil through the Department of Defense is likely to raise legal and political questions in both countries.
You see, it’s really the Pentagon entering into partnership to control Venezuela’s oil. The Pentagon having direct control over oil in a foreign country is rather unusual. Oh, and obviously, Donny couldn’t do it without getting into bed with a known (or suspected) criminal. Specifically, an accused fraudster, a money laundering guy, named Alejandro Betancourt. Betancourt controls Venezuela’s second largest oil company. All of that alleged money laundering is just a side hustle.
Donny doesn’t care about that. No, that’s wrong. Fraud is a required behavior if one wants to do business with the Drumpfster. Betancourt was the subject of an international criminal investigation. That’s the kind of guy Donny can work with, so US officials stepped in. They lobbied to resolve the case in a way that would avoid criminal charges and end travel restrictions against the Britain-based Betancourt.
Official word is that the US is looking for private partners for investment. So far, every time he has promised private investment, the US taxpayer ends up footing the bill. Chevron wants in on the deal. That means MORE private profit, socialized risk. Make no mistake, rich people are very, VERY into socialism when said socialism saves their companies or puts money into their pockets. They just don’t want that socialism to benefit anyone else…

It’s a peek into his twisted brain. If I can’t have it, nobody can. That’s the Drumpfster’s feeling about the Kennedy Center. He wants his name on it, as though he has accomplished something. The thing is, he can’t legally just slap his name on it. So his team tried an end-run. Oh, we’ll just give him credit for restoring the collapsing building. ‘Restored and renovated by President and Anti-Christ Donald J. Trump.’ That may not be the exact wording they intend. Same answer. No.
“Well, then,” he replies, “I guess we’ll just have to tear the thing down.” That’s a stalker attitude. It’s a twisted mind. If I can’t have it, nobody can. I doubt the Kennedy Center is as badly in need of repair as pretended. Donny just wants to cover everything in gold, cause there’s nothing tacky about that. MOST importantly, he wants his name on it. It’s stolen glory, right? He can’t EARN his name onto a memorial Americans would respect so he’s trying to slap his name next to a decent President in hopes some of JFK’s fame might rub off on him.
He strikes me as nothing more than a petulant brat throwing a temper tantrum. Watch for him to start starving the Kennedy Center of funding in an effort to bring about the very consequences he predicts. But frankly, I think I’d rather see the thing torn down than allow his disgusting and pukish name on it…

Okay, it’s been awhile, so I thought I’d take a second to remind everybody that Donald J. Trump was a client and likely co-conspirator in a sex trafficking ring operated alongside his best friend Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. There’s a reason he won’t release the Trump/Epstein files in full, despite having promised exactly that during his campaign. Yet ANOTHER promise made, promise not kept.
It feels like nobody cares anymore. The message is, “You ain’t getting it,” and most seem resigned to that reality. I suspect there are just FAR too many rich and powerful men in the files and Donny gets protected by default, as those rich powerful perverts get protected because of all of that money they have. In short, the message is, “We CAN rape your daughters. There’s nothing you can do about it.” This is the America MAGA loves, the America MAGA demands. I preferred justice…
