LOTS of Blather…

by MyBaconPress

I’ve kind of enjoyed all of the GOP hyperbole associated with today’s “No Kings” protests. It’s all so ridiculous. MAGA is calling Americans every name they can think of, the worst of the worst. They said participants in the No Kings protests are Hamas supporters, Antifa, and un-American. I laugh at these morons. Then, I remember that they’re going to govern according to their delusional fever dreams, and it’s less funny.

I oppose Israel’s attempted genocide in Gaza. I am NOT “pro Hamas.” For the record, in standing with No Kings, I’m aligning myself with the Founding Fathers and in proudly wearing the mantle of Antifa, I stand with the thousands of American soldiers who defeated the Axis Powers in WWII. I AM “Antifa,” or anti-fascist. Tell me why that’s bad.

As far as being un-American? You can go fu– well, what that Dick Cheney said. I’ll tell you what, I’m not going to hang around while traitors to the nation call ME un-American. If you oppose ‘No Kings,’ you must be pro king, right? It doesn’t get more un-American than that. If the fight against King George III was happening today, MAGA wouldn’t be donning red hats. They’d be donning red coats…

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

It’s time for Americans to STOP trying to convince MAGA they’re engaging in fascist behavior. What, you don’t think they KNOW it? Of course they know it. This isn’t even the first time in history fascism has been even mildly popular, here, in America. Rich people love it and they convince failed, work-a-day Joes they should love it, too.

Americans expected MAGA to stand down when we told them it was fascism because of the price Americans paid to defeat the ideology the LAST time it reared it’s ugly head. They didn’t. We said, “Hey, that’s Fascism!” and expected them to recoil. Instead, MAGA said, “You bet your ASS that’s fascism! WE LOVE IT!”

So, give it up, would you? They know what they’re doing. They have NO idea what they’re doing to themselves in the long run, but ushering in fascism is their goal, they think it’s a worthy goal, and they’re going to do it…

Zelenskyy came all the way to the US to ask Putin’s Puppet for Tomahawk Missiles. Donny said no. Do you know why? Because Putin told him not to! Those are not my words, they’re Donny’s. If you have a problem with it, take it up with Donny. But in the meantime, 47 is taking his marching orders from Putin…

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

Our Fearful Misleader has taken to ‘harassment indicting’ his political opponents. So far, all of the fraudulent indictments have one thing in common: each was dropped as an investigation by qualified attorneys before being restored as charges by bootlickers.

The First Felon pushed out the federal prosecutor for the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert – a trump appointee, because he refused to move forward with a fraudulent prosecution against James Comey. Donny installed unqualified loyalist Lindsey Halligan, who DID file the charges. She appeared in court with no other federal prosecutors, all of whom refused to sign the charging documents.

She also charged Letitia James after Siebert refused to destroy his legal career just to make a narcissist happy. Siebert has some integrity, Halligan does not. He cares about the law, she does not. He would not file the fraudulent charges, she did – happily. I can see a future where Halligan surrenders her law license a-la Rudy Giuliani.

So now there are NEW pretend charges against John Bolton. Bolton has maintained a journal throughout his entire career and Team Evil is charging him with putting national secrets in his journal and sharing pages with others. It goes back to the book he wrote in which he accurately described the chaos and incompetence of a trump white house, which irritated the thin-skinned orange man. This is Donny’s revenge. Oh, for the record, the Biden DOJ already looked into this and declined to pursue it due to lack of evidence. He’s just wasting time and wasting money…

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

I know loyalty is loyalty but Donny seems to be actively attacking Americans and MAGA. I’ve said it before. At this point, the MAGA rank-and-file remind me of nothing so much as an abused spouse. Donny gives them a “see what you made me do?” and – they do. They DO see what they made him do. They just don’t understand what they did to make him do it.

Take soybeans. Donny’s tariffs wiped out the American soybean market to China in, like, days. This year, so far, China has purchased zero American soybeans. Instead, they went down to economically troubled Argentina. Donny likes Argentina because their leader is an incompetent, wanna-be dictator, called ‘El Loco,’ whose policies are harming his country. Birds of a feather, you know?

So Donny is sending $20 billion dollars to Argentina – and it could be as high as $40 billion – to help them stabilize their economy so it’s easier for them to sell their soybeans to China, and leaving AMERICAN soybean farmers out in the cold. Put another way, not one penny to help Americans, $40 billion to help Argentina. Loyalty should be a two-way street, but whenever Donny is involved, it isn’t. Donny is loyal to nothing but himself…

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

When it comes to actually lowering prices, Donny is a complete, absolute, abject, and utter failure. He can’t lower prices. He doesn’t have a clue how to lower prices. What he CAN do is lie about it, so he does THAT, instead. The thing is, his lies are stupid. I suspect even MAGA figured out he didn’t get drug prices down by 1,500%.

I mean, hey, we were ALL hoping we’d go to pick up our prescriptions and get a fat check, too, but it hasn’t turned out that way at all. Instead, we’re all still paying – a LOT – for prescriptions. For reasons that seem to elude him, prices don’t respond to his fantasies or declarations.

This is one of the biggest problems with his failed and twisted personality. NOBODY in his circle can even suggest he might be mistaken, for fear of retribution. (Did you see the Comey, James, Bolton bit, above?) So when he claims he has lowered the cost of IVF by 800% – his latest claim – nobody can point out to him that it’s impossible. Labs are NOT going to pay women to have an IVF procedure. That’s not how they make money at all.

Maybe he knows he’s lying. Maybe he’s just lost his mind. It’s hard to tell the difference but the outcome is the same: he hasn’t DONE anything – except blather. He’s got LOTS of blather…

Team Evil In Action…

by MyBaconPress

To hear them tell it, Republicans sure would like to know who passed that damned Big Beautiful Bill. None of them seem to know what was in it and the more they find out, the less they like. None of them seem to have read it. None of them seem to know who added what, and NONE of them seem to know why they voted for it. It’s all just a mystery…

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

Despite the way people from south of our border are being treated – that is, VERY badly – when GOP-induced disaster hit Texas in the form of floods, Mexico sent rescuers to help. They’ve set aside the terrible, inhuman treatment and sent help. Generally speaking, Mexicans seem to be better people than MAGA. No wonder MAGA hates them so much.

Meanwhile, Team Evil sent help, too – the very next three days later! Kristi Noem had to sign off on the expense as it was expected to exceed the allotted $100,000 and she wasn’t to be bothered during her three-day weekend. Once she DID sign off, though, FEMA – or what’s left of it – sprang into action the best he could…

Grok. What a crock. Grok is Elon’s AI. Apparently, in the billionaire set, you’re nothing if you don’t have your own AI. In Elon’s case, he’s nothing anyway, but he has his own AI. He said he wanted his to be free of all that woke nonsense so he had the programming altered to take out any reference to DEIA and other woke silliness. The result? Nazi/MAGA!

Grok told one user how to break into someone else’s home. Grok explained how to rape a woman. Grok started calling itself MechaHitler and spewing anti-Semitic tropes. It calls for harsh, over the top punishments for small infractions. It became, in essence, a Nazi. It was a rather perfect, accidental experiment. We get to see how AI responds to a lack of empathy: Nazi.

Interestingly, we’ve seen how MAGA responds to a lack of empathy as well, empathy having been removed from MAGA thinking by decades of MAGA media conditioning. Nazi! Or the next best, um, worst, thing – MAGA! MAGA doesn’t like being compared to the Nazis and I don’t blame them but if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and Sieg Heils like a fucking duck, it’s very clearly a Nazi duck.

Dear MAGA, if you don’t want to be compared to Nazis, stop acting like Nazis. It’s pretty simple, really…

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

To tell you the truth, I feel kind of badly for MAGA when it comes to the Epstein files. They’re STILL going to defend him, obviously. But now? Now they know – they KNOW – they’re very likely defending a pedophile. No, they won’t say so to you, but they know it.

They’ve defended his lying mouth, speaking blasphemies. They’ve defended him as a convicted felon. They’ve defended him as an adjudicated rapist. They’ve defended him as an overt racist, and now? NOW they get to defend him as a pedo. He sure does make it hard for them to love him. Somehow, though, like any abused spouse, I suspect they’ll manage…

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

Did you SEE that disgusting scene in which Netanyahu gave The First Felon a copy of a letter he had sent to the Nobel committee nominating 47 for the Nobel Peace Prize? A war criminal, actively involved in attempted genocide, nominated his co-conspirator, the guy who enables the whole thing by sending more and more weapons, for the Nobel Peace Prize? Priceless.

Next thing you know, Donny will be threatening to bomb the Nobel committee into compliance. That ought to do it…

Here’s a photo of MAGA sweetheart Stephen Miller visiting the newly opened GOP concentration camp, Alligator Alcatraz:

A face of evil at a holding camp...

No, wait… that can’t be right. MAGA hasn’t issued uniforms yet. Let me check my notes. Oh, right, that’s Heinrich Himmler, Hitler’s evil advisor. Sorry for the confusion. It’s funny, when I look at Stephen Miller, I always see Heinrich Himmler. I mean, look at these two, side by side:

Evil Stephen Miller Evil Heinrich Himmler

Except for the hairline, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, mustache, general head shape, and glasses, these two could be the same guy. I mean, EVERY time I see Miller, I see Himmler. It must be the evil aura they exude. Both are/were 5 feet 9 inches short and both weigh/weighed around 150 pounds. Maybe that’s it. Little, evil weasels, intent on “getting even” with their high school bullies by attacking people who had nothing to do with it.

Anyway, MAGA is SO PROUD of their Alligator Alcatraz, a place where they can punish and torture people who haven’t done anything wrong, but were born the wrong color. I’m SURE I’ve heard about that before, in history. It just seems so… familiar to me. Where have I heard of that before, throwing human beings into prison camps based on their ethnicity with no access to lawyers or due process? Give me a minute. It’ll come to me.

Dear MAGA, if you don’t want to be compared to Nazis, stop acting like Nazis…

It’s No Joke…

Q: What’s the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump?
A: Greenland is not for sale.

That’s a joke Amy Klobuchar told. It’s funny because it’s true…

The day his tariffs were supposed to take effect with Mexico, he lied and said they had reached an agreement. Mexico’s President has already explained to him that fentanyl is brought in by Americans and that they have ALREADY initiated a program to re-direct undocumented people. (You haven’t heard about any “caravans” for a while.) She also made clear that the Mexicans have a hard time stopping the drug trade because of how easy it is for the cartels to buy American guns. The Mexican President explained it to him right after his initial threats of tariffs. He knew all this from the start. He just wanted to look tough for the deceived.

The White House said Canada ‘misunderstood’ Trump’s trade war as, well, a trade war. I think 47 ‘misunderstands’ that words have meanings. Canadian stores are pulling American made products – even AFTER the tariffs were put on “pause.” The pause happened, incredibly, because Canada reiterated some of the things they were already doing anyway.

Hey, just as a sidebar, weren’t all these punishing tariffs supposed to pay for the massive tax cuts the GOP is planning to give the richest Americans? NOW how is he going to pay for those? I mean, he wouldn’t cut services to needy Americans just because he and his disgustingly rich cronies want even MORE money, would he? Would he?

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

People think he’s crashing the economy because he’s a moron. While there IS no evidence to disprove the premise that he’s a moron, in THIS case, it’s all about the buying opportunities a crashing economy grants to the oligarchs. He’s tearing things down because HE can profit in that environment. You? Well, there’s always the Hunger Games…

Wow, the Democrats are responding to all of this traitorous insanity with, wait… (checks notes) some VERY fiery words. Ooh. President Musk charged in and shut down USAID. Jamie Raskin “handled” it. “We are not going to allow this to happen,” he said, “This will not stand.” Oh, but he wasn’t finished. He kept going, “Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the treasury but you don’t control the money of the American people. The US Congress does under Article 1 of the Constitution.” THAT showed Musk. But Raskin STILL wasn’t finished, “We don’t have a fourth branch of government called ‘Elon Musk.'” Ooh, sick burn.

After THAT kind of tough talk, Muck, of course, apologized and left, realizing he had been outplayed. Or not. In REAL life, USAID is shut down. (Apparently, he DOES “control the money of the American people.” He has your Social Security Number, too.) In fact, a group of congressional Democrats from the House and the Senate were denied entry to the treasury building when they went down there to talk to the DOGE traitors – so they held a rally outside. Cons are acting, Dems are talking. You know? It’s only been two weeks, but I’m starting to think the Dems talking points aren’t having much effect.

In truth, I’ve long held that it’s the Democrat’s job to lose. They pretend to put up some kind of a fight, but they lose. It’s a facade. It’s meant to LOOK like there are two parties and they are in opposition. It’s even possible they’re beginning to realize the facade is failing, though. Democratic Senator Brian Schatz said he was “putting a hold” on all of the Felon’s State Department nominees until USAID is restored. To be clear, that won’t STOP the nominees. It just slows them down, a bit, so it’s basically nothing more than a show.

The two parties, though? The GOP is the “Assholes who support the One Percent” group and the Dems are the “Empathetics who support the One Percent” group. But either way, they’re ALL supporting the One Percent.

Work-a-day Americans have NO representation in American government anymore, and we haven’t since the Roberts Supremely Corrupt Kangaroo Court issued their ruinous Citizens United ruling…

I know this is a nothing-burger. I KNOW it. Still, I just wanted to point it out, even though I suspect YOU know it, too. A reporter asked 47 what would happen if Iran assassinated him. He looked a little surprised, then talked tough. “They would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions.”

He hadn’t “left instructions.” The thought never crossed his mind until he was asked. He just talked tough and pitched out a threat. I think the reason it caught my ear is, that’s his way. He just makes things up in the moment and then pretends they’re true and have always been true.

That’s just a stupid person trying to cover up the fact that they’re stupid. We’ve all known someone like that. But THIS stupid person acts on his random thoughts and that’s very dangerous to everyone else…

This is from the Wiener Holocaust Library. For some reason, watching Trump and his goons attack the civil service triggered some history for me and I sought the details. If you’re an American, someone who loved this country, read it and weep. If you’re MAGA, you’ll read it and likely rub one out – but this didn’t end well for anybody…

“Gleichschaltung was the process of the Nazi Party taking control over all aspects of Germany. It is otherwise known as coordination or Nazification. The process primarily took place between 1933-1934.

The Nazi’s started with the Civil Service , issuing the Act for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service on the 7 April 1933. This act legalised removing anyone of non-Ayran descent from the civil service.

In the judicial system specifically, this act removed any judges that were deemed non-compliant with Nazi laws or principles. This act was reinforced by the German Civil Service code of 26 January 1937, which retired any judges or judicial official who would not intervene in cases and rule in favour of the Nazis. The People’s Court, a court created by the Nazis in April 1934 with judges chosen specifically for their Nazi beliefs, replaced the Supreme Court. With these measures in place, the Nazification of the judicial system was complete.

Gleichschaltung was applied across every possible aspect of government policy.

To take control of cultural policy, the Nazis appointed Joseph Goebbels as Minister for Public Engagement and Propaganda on the 13 March 1933. Goebbels became responsible for controlling the national media, film, theatre, arts, and other cultural aspects. Goebbels soon radicalised each of these areas, ensuring that they advocated Nazi ideas.

Whilst Gleichschaltung aimed to reach every aspect of rule in Germany, this was not always possible. Local governments proved more difficult to infiltrate, and even at the end of 1945 only 60% of local mayors were Nazi Party members.

Despite this, on the whole, Gleichschaltung was largely successful. By the end of 1934, the Nazis had managed to infiltrate and take control of every major aspect of German government.”

I just thought everyone should see where we are in the “MAGAfication” of America. And MAGA pretends to be all upset when thinking people say they’re behaving like Nazis. But, step by damning step…
