TACO, In Davos…

by MyBaconPress

Remember, the Dow is not the economy. The Dow is a CEO happiness indicator – and on Tuesday, it took a plunge. It fell 870 points while the Felon bragged about all of the “accomplishments” he imagines during one of his many, “Ain’t I great?” speeches. (For the record: No, you ain’t.) The plunge is the result of our National Embarrassment’s threats to tax the crap out of American citizens in an effort to punish Europe for not letting him steal Greenland. Yes, of course it’s stupid, this is Donny we’re talking about. But that’s the plan. BIG tariffs, paid by Americans, until Europe surrenders Greenland.

Is that any MORE stupid than saying you’re taking Greenland from Denmark because Norway denied you a prize they don’t control? The man – and I use the term loosely – is losing his effing mind. Is the US really going to war because one madman can’t be mollified?

No. As it happens, it was TACO Wednesday yesterday. Donny spoke at Davos, where the rich divvy up the spoils. He started with firm resolve in his voice. No, he wouldn’t use military force, though, he assured our allies, they wouldn’t be able to stop us if he did. But by God, he would have Greenland. He would make a deal for Greenland. He had to make a deal for Greenland.

“I’m helping NATO and until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me.” Wait, what? Iceland? He blathered on a bit more then added, “They’re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland’s already cost us a lot of money.”

This, of course, was old-man-losing-his-mind stuff. Anybody can misspeak. But he said Iceland four times when he meant Greenland – and he never seemed to have noticed. Look, he’s genuinely stupid. Maybe he thinks Greenland and Iceland are the same place. As a sidebar, KKKarolyin’ Levitt tried to cover for him by claiming he meant ‘Icy land,’ merely a poetic description of Greenland. Nobody (but MAGA) is buying because everybody (but MAGA) heard his actual words.

Here’s the thing: most of Donny’s “policies,” if they might EVER have worked (they wouldn’t) might only have worked, like, seventy or eighty years ago. The world is a VERY different place, now. Yes, the US has the greatest military on the planet and in history. But in the 1970’s, rich people decided they didn’t want to pay their fair share in taxes anymore and our national debt has been ballooning at an unsustainable rate ever since.

We cover it by selling that debt to the world. They buy our bonds, which we then promise to repay over time. American promises used to mean something, so people bought, meaning they hold the debt. That debt makes us FAR weaker than our military makes us strong. If they should, I don’t know, sell those bonds all at once, guess what happens. If you guessed “Stock Market plunge,” you win. No, there are no prizes. Just enjoy your good feelings. Yay, you.

So, while the most self-important and greedy people on the planet were all coming together for their economic back-patting meeting – THEY, after all, are doing great – the world started hearing about a plan from the European Union called “Sell America” and the Dow dropped 840 points. That was Europe telling our National Embarrassment, “Nice country ya got there. Be a shame if something happened to it, economically.”

But, and this point is speculation, because Donny is as dumb as any rock, someone explained it to him in private too. They went slow. They gave his dinosaur-like reflexes time to assimilate the information. “Stand down on Greenland (AND Iceland, you moron) or we crash your economy.”

The next time we saw Donny – no more speculation here – he was announcing he was over Greenland. “They” had worked out a plan. No, a framework of a plan. Well, he had a concept of a framework of a plan. You know, in the future. That’s the soundbite that will be fed into MAGA media. They have a concept of a framework of a future plan. Sure, it’s TACO but MAGA will actually believe he did something. There ARE none so blind as those who will not see.

When Donny was asked if the concept of the framework for the future plan included the US owning Greenland, he stopped dead in his tracks and said, “Uhhh…” That’s true. I’ve never seen him so stuck for a lie. He locked up for a moment before saying, “Duh, it’ll be great for everybody.” When asked how long the concept of the framework of the future plan would apply, he said, “Infinity.” At least that part is true. He doesn’t get Greenland, ever. Then Donny tucked his evil little tail and ran away. He’s outta there.

It was a pretty effective distraction. It lasted for several days. The Trump/Epstein Files never went away but they fell off the front pages for a time. So did Ukraine, where Putin was bombing the crap out of that country. But for the moment, Greenland seems to be over…

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

We don’t get too many bright spots these days but here’s one: There is no statute of limitations on murder. Jonathan Ross may look like he’s getting away with the murder of Renee Good today, but the future looms. Donny won’t last forever. Ross’s murder will. All we have to do is keep an eye on him for now…

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

Wow, based on social media activity, I’d say MAGA is being whipped into a frenzy again. They’re hearing that if the Dems take back one or both houses of Congress in November, cons are going to jail. That’s probably true, but if it IS true, it will be done by fair trial, with convictions based on crimes they’ve actually committed and can be proven, not on assertions and speculation. MAGA is being assured that such convictions will be “Lawfare,” yet another example where the right accuses the left of doing that which the right is actually doing.

MAGA will be loud, but they’ll be wrong. I hope the US does the right thing and convicts criminals rather than taking some political long-view that pretends Team Evil “learned their lesson” by losing an election. If criminals don’t go to jail, they don’t stop committing crimes. It’s pretty simple, really…

Martin Luther King, Jr Day…

by MyBaconPress

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. I’d like to try to write only positive things to honor the messages he tried to bring. Unfortunately, we still have a megalomaniac moron infesting the White House so darkness prevails, these days. Still, here are some of his messages.

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.”

“A nation that continues, year after year, to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

‘Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?”
Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?”
Vanity asks the question, “Is it popular?”
But conscience asks the question, “Is it right?”‘

“We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor.”

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

“Justice too long delayed is justice denied.”

That Martin Luther King, Jr was a pretty bright guy…

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

Everybody is supposed to focus on Greenland so that we don’t focus on the Trump/Epstein files. So let’s focus on Greenland for a minute – then get back to the Trump/Epstein files. It seems to be a trick he can’t do, pay attention to two things at once. It’s likely he doesn’t know that other people can pay attention to two things at once. Sometimes more!

So, now, in his insane push to “own” Greenland for no good reason, he’s threatening extra tariffs on the EU. In order to force Denmark to hand over Greenland, he’s going to punish Americans with higher taxes. Lovely.

At this point, it’s pretty clear, there’s no good reason to do what he’s doing. He has a story or two but even his stories are stupid and they don’t hold up under even slight scrutiny. He DOES have a new angle, though. Now he’s writing the Norwegian Prime Minister and telling them that because Norway didn’t award him the Nobel Peace Prize, he no longer has to think “purely of peace.” As you read his letter, bear in mind that the Nobel Prize is awarded by a private committee, not the country.

“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace,” the moron had someone write, adding he could now “think about what is good and proper” for the US. Apparently, that’s war with Europe, in his twisted pea-brain…

You know what, Donny? Even if they thought you deserved it – which you do not – maybe they denied you your coveted prize because you’re being such a dick around the world and it was a crappy thing they could do back to you. You know all about that, right Donny? Doing crappy things to people who irritate you just because they irritated you is right in your wheelhouse. Game should respect game, don’t you think?

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

So, MAGA rank-and-file seem to have pretty much given up on the Trump/Epstein Files. The minute they realized Donny is ALL OVER those things, they’re like, “Oh, no, our Precious!” and decided the files don’t really matter, after all. Americans and other smart people, though? Our position remains unchanged. Release the files.

At this point, truth be told, I’m starting to have a little heartburn about the fact that the victims STILL have not named names. I know there are conflicts, here. Some of the victims want to remain in the shadows, and it’s hard to blame them. Others have already come forward, though. When MTG made her promise to read the names from the House floor – a promise she can no longer keep, having stepped down – she was surrounded by some of the victims. THOSE women are clearly okay with being known.

Why haven’t each of them made a list of the men who were forced upon them when they were underage? NO, you don’t give that list to this corrupt DOJ. But you could give such a list to a reporter or AOC or Thomas Massie. I understand 47 trying to protect himself and I understand his creepy little minions working so hard to protect their Precious.

Obviously, he’s concerned that when hard evidence comes out that he was not just a participant in the trafficking ring, but one of the ringleaders, he might lose support from MAGA – and he needs fools to sing his praises and provide him cover. But have you seen these fools? He needs to have a little faith. One could release a 100-photo essay showing him raping twelve-year-old after twelve-year-old and MAGA would spring to his defense, suddenly pretending raping twelve-year-olds made one an “Alpha.”

At least now we know where cons got the idea to accuse Hillary of running a pedophile ring: they just announced what they were doing, but pretended it was Hillary. Every accusation is an admission with these clowns. But I digress.

My main point is that we have many of the victims available. THEY know who abused them. They said they were going to make lists. Where the hell are the lists? Let’s get them out there. Remember Algebra? Remember how, sometimes, it was easier to find the answer in the back of the book, then work the problem backwards to show your work? Let’s do that with the Trump/Epstein Files.

Name the names. THEN, we can work the problem backwards from the Trump/Epstein Files. Cause I gotta tell you, I don’t CARE who knew Trump, Epstein, or Maxwell and didn’t rape kids. Let’s get the names of perpetrators from the victims and skip all the drama of the DOJ slow-walking the files…

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

I’m surrounded by fellow Niner fans who think it’s some kind of betrayal to support a fellow NFC West team after the Niners are eliminated. Although I know I’m in the minority, I don’t share that attitude. I figure, once the Niners are out, they’re out. Maybe the NFC West should represent, to show WHY the Niners got bumped.

First and foremost, I’m a fan of the Red and Gold but I have other teams I like, too. I also have teams I don’t like. A LOT. When I was in the Air Force, the team I got to watch was the Denver Broncos. I developed an affinity for them. When I was a child, I was raised by an LA Rams fan to BE a Rams fan. (It didn’t take.) I support the Niners, but I have fond memories of the Rams. Yes, I know they’re a rival of the Niners but the Niners aren’t a factor anymore, right?

On the other hand, f*ck the New England Patriots. I’m so sick and tired of hearing about their “greatness” and all they accomplished. They cheated. For seven years! Because in the eyes of the NFL it was better for business, they got away with it with a slap on the wrist. (It didn’t hurt that Robert Kraft, the Patriots owner, is on the committee that pays the commissioner.) Then the league buried it. They swept it under the rug and now we’re all supposed to pretend it was just “greatness.” But as we all know, now, friends don’t lie. New England cheated.

SO, the Conference Championship games are set. The Broncos will host the Patriots and the Seahawks host the Rams. The Broncos just lost their star Quarterback to a broken foot so he’s out, making the road for New England much easier. BOTH the Seahawks and the Rams are in the NFC West. According to my friends… and family… and neighbors… and my barber and strangers I chat with in line at the grocery store and the teller at the bank and people I work with and it seems everybody else, I can’t support the Rams or Seahawks because they’re in the NFC West.

But that means I’d have to pull for New England, and I will not do that…

Stupid Memes For Stupid People…

by MyBaconPress

Recently, in response to the Renee Good murder, I’ve seen posts from MAGA in social media showing the faces of young women ostensibly murdered by undocumented immigrants set next to a photo of Good. The meme claims Good was trying to protect killers and the left mourns her loss, but ignores the murders of other young women. Have you seen this?

MAGA bullshit about murders.

In MAGA land, it’s big drama, a devastating burn. Typically, it’s MAGA stupid. It’s just false that Good wanted to “stop ICE from deporting illegals who kill American citizens.” If your position relies on a lie for support, your position doesn’t deserve to be supported. That’s a scare tactic. NOBODY is standing for murderers.

No, that’s wrong. NOBODY but MAGA is standing for murderers. Good was monitoring ICE harassment of people who are living and working here and contributing to society. Undocumented? Maybe. Maybe not. ICEholes regularly take American citizens into custody and rough them up. They’ve killed and maimed several American citizens.

I don’t know that all of the other women you’re showing were actually killed by immigrants, documented or otherwise, but for the sake of argument, let’s just agree they were. Also, it would be nice to have a time-frame on those deaths. Are we talking about last year or over the course of the last twenty-five years?

But all of that is nit-picking. Here’s your real answer: we all know that bad people do bad things and place of birth isn’t relevant. I would bet that on each day one of those women was murdered, so were a LOT of other people in this country – killed by Americans, probably a LOT of them white. MAGA ignores those people so they can focus on brown people only and pretend that if there were no “illegals,” there would be no crime. How stupid is that?

Also, we could only know that those women were, in fact, murdered by illegals if we know who the killers are, right? They’ve been, likely, arrested or identified but not around to be arrested, right? So, those killers are currently in the system and facing consequences of their actions. Bad people do bad things and face the consequences. What’s to protest?

On the other hand, and this is where it gets challenging for MAGA, Renee Good was murdered by a Federal agent practicing piss-poor police procedure. He was on Federal business, wearing a Federally-issued uniform, shooting Federally-issued bullets, from a Federally-issued firearm – then hiding behind his Federally-issued badge and driving his Federally-issued vehicle to make his cowardly escape.

See the difference, MAGA? If the government arrests murderers, there’s nothing to protest. When the government protects murderers? Yeah, count on some protest. It’s the proper response. If you loved your country the way you pretend you do, you’d be out there, too…

*****

This is tangentially related. MAGA is also posting memes that point out that Obama deported more people than 47 and that, for many, their only crime was to cross the border. So, Barack did a better job and he did it without all of this disruption and violence to the day to day lives of people? AND while Barack’s ICE agents wore windbreakers and not combat fatigues and how anyone could see their faces while they worked rather than coward masks?

“Barack did it better and we’re too stupid to understand.” Quality burn, there, MAGA…

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

Have you noticed? Nobody wants to be associated with Donny. He doesn’t earn accolades – he steals them. And he’s SO reviled, he needs the power of the Presidency even to do that. We may not be able to stop him, right now, but it sure will be fun tearing his vile name off of every building and sign that ever bore it. Hell, his name is SO reviled, I expect the card game of Bridge to change their top category. How about ‘Biden?’ as in “Three no Biden?”

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

Well, that was ugly. I wish I could say I was surprised. The team just reached the end of their run. They kept digging down, deeper and deeper. Finally, they reached, but there was nothing left. Yesterday, I predicted a Niner victory, 24-17. I DID qualify the prediction by saying, “but mostly that’s because I want them to win.” They never even sniffed the End Zone. As it happens, it was a perfect prediction. It’s just that I was predicting the Seahawks final total, 41, not the final score of the game. Genius, eh?

Our Niners gave us a better show than we had a right to expect. As usual, injuries hobbled the team nearly from the start. Injuries, alone, are bad enough, but in this case, WHO got injured was relevant, too. Worse, the injuries kept piling up during the game. It turns out, one cannot sit most of their first string and hope to be competitive. But the Niners were competitive through most of the season, anyway, and that says a lot.

If I’m being honest, I’m not sure the Niners could have beaten this Seahawks team even at full strength. They’re very good and they’re playing like it’s a sacred obligation. It’s a very well-coached team and they’re very disciplined. Having seen the remaining field of teams, I strongly suspect the Seahawks will win the Stupor Bowl. I thought that would be against the Denver Broncos, but their Quarterback, Bo Nix, broke his ankle in their playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills and he’s out for whatever is left.

The worse the beating became, the more befuddled Shanahan appeared to be. When he needed to have more answers, he had fewer. I’m confused by this guy. On the one hand, all praise to Shanahan for staying competitive during the season. That took some pretty solid coaching. On the other hand, injuries keep this team from ever taking the big prize and injuries have been a feature of his teams for years.

The Niners lead the league in injuries. Kyle overuses certain key players and just runs them until they break. Also, I find his play-calling frustrating when the team is losing. He gets locked into certain things and tries to force them. It has cost him games in the past. I suspect Kyle simply can’t get the Niners to the big game and win. But next season is coming, and I expect to be there…

His Contempt For Americans Is Showing…

by MyBaconPress

The Pedophile Protector got upset when someone called him a Pedophile Protector. Do you think a toaster gets upset when you call it a toaster? He’s just pretending, though. Gaslighting. Donny is doing everything in his power to protect pedophiles – allegedly including himself – by slow-walking the release of the Trump/Epstein Files.

Cadet Bone Spurs was on a photo-op at a Ford auto plant and an auto worker named TJ Sabula used the opportunity to pitch the nomenclature at Dim Leader. Donny, ever the clever word smith and inspiring orator, came back with exactly the third grade response one has come to expect from his putrid little mind: “Fuck you” and a middle finger.

Our classy and distinguished so-called 'President' demonstrating his feeling for Americans.

Sabula was suspended with pay from the plant. Someone set up a GoFundMe page to help during the suspension. As of Januray 15, the GoFundMe page had taken in $811,010 dollars! I suspect every one of those dollars had a “No, fuck you, Donny!” written on it. You either hate that evil weasel or you’re MAGA. There’s no in-between anymore…

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

OMG, he’s beaming. He’s SO proud of his non-accomplishment. He hasn’t done one thing to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize – which is why he’s never won a Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee has been quite clear: No Peace Prize for Donny. He hasn’t earned it, he doesn’t deserve it.

Instead, he pressured María Corina Machado to hand over the Peace Prize she was awarded. She wants to run Venezuela, you see. Donny won’t let her because he’s so completely, absolutely jealous that she actually won the Prize and he didn’t. So, she made the same calculation everyone else makes: flatter his teeny-tiny, oh-so-fragile ego. She “gave” him her prize.

Bear in mind, as far as the Nobel committee is concerned, The Felon is merely holding Machado’s Peace Prize. It’s still hers. It’s still recorded only in her name. He just gets to hold it. Think of Michael Phelps letting you hold one of his Olympic Gold Medals. Obviously, you can hold it, but he earned it. 47 looks like he really thinks he’s done something and he claimed credit. He wrote: “María presented me with her Peace Prize for the work I have done.” I mean, just look at this beaming, pathetic loser:

The Stench and María Corina Machado.

Her ploy doesn’t seem to have worked, though. He gets her medal, but then he repeats his line that she doesn’t have the support. So she still doesn’t get to lead Venezuela (he hasn’t forgotten that she won the Prize and not him) and now she doesn’t even have her Nobel medal. She’s keeping the money, I presume…

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

If every accusation is a MAGA confession, and MAGA is convinced Democrats are paying protestors, we can know for certain that MAGA pays protestors…

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

I’ve been able to track the rise of MAGA by looking back in history at the rise of the Nazis. Checking Nazis to gauge MAGA has worked like a dream since the movement started, but MAGA hates that comparison. They’re not sure why, because they talked all through history class. They’re having trouble figuring out exactly how they’re like Nazis – because they know nothing of the Nazis. The rest of us see it as clearly as day, though. So, we mention yet another parallel to Nazis and they scream, “Waaaa!”

Tough. I’m in the, “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck” camp and MAGA very definitely looks and quacks like ducks Nazis. The parallels have been startling, truth be told. One of the main reasons the Nazis got so powerful was nobody really knew what they were about. There was very little push-back. The good news?

Americans are pushing back. We DO know what MAGA is about. We’ve seen it in history. We’re not just standing on the sidelines in shock. We’re pushing back. That’s a difference from the rise of the Nazis and it’s a big one. All of the noise. All of the cameras. All of the eye-witnesses. ICEholes complain it’s harassment. Good of them to notice. But it’s not violence, is it?

So far, that hasn’t stopped ICE from using violence. They’ve killed a bunch of mostly defenseless people. They’ve hurt and harmed many more. One ICEhole shot a guy, Kaden Rummler, 21, right in the face with a “less-lethal” projectile – ALSO an improper use of the tool. He lost an eye. Then they did it again to a guy named Britain Rodriguez, 31, who said it felt like his “eye exploded in my head.”

A spokesliar from DHS described the protestors as a mob. She lied about what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. She tried to paint a, “They deserve what they get” picture but actual pictures keep making their way into the world and we can all see for ourselves that, really, the protestors are showing great restraint in the face of abusive force.

But the pushback is one difference between the rise of the Nazis and the rise of MAGA. It’s hopeful. It’s positive. It’s making their evil work more difficult. Keep pushing. Collect names where you can (Jonathan Ross). We’ll prosecute later. We can send these evil weasels packing if we just stick to it long enough…

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

Here we go, Niners. This team, this year, has been the hardest team to evaluate that I’ve come across for a long, long time. On paper, the team has lost a plethora of starters. They’ve been playing with rookies, backups, and plug-ins. On paper, they should have been booted from contention some time ago. But they keep winning. Mostly.

They lost their Week 18 tilt against the Seattle Seahawks and, let’s be real, they lost BIG. The score wasn’t so lopsided but the game itself? Seattle looked like a lean, mean, fighting machine. They knew exactly what they wanted to do and they did it. The Niners looked like they weren’t sure the game had started. The Seahawks pushed our Niners around like the Niners were second-year players. It was ugly.

The Niners face the Seahawks again this afternoon. It will be their third meeting this year. The Niners won the first game, but lost the second. Now we get a third. The thing is, the Niners have lost in the past and sometimes lost big. It’s common for them to come back the next week and thrash whatever opponent they face. This third shot at the Seahawks comes only two weeks after the second. We have a lot of current game film to study. For our part, the Niners couldn’t do ANYTHING in that game – so the ‘hawks have very little to look at.

The Seahawks beat the Niners like an adult shaking a baby but those kinds of losses often cause the Niners to bounce back with a vengeance. For their part, the Niners are playing with their second string but they’re still finding ways to win. It’s really quite astounding. Everything I know about football tells me they can’t keep doing what they’re doing, but they DO keep doing what they’re doing. I’ve decided to “settle” the matter by… watching the game.

I want the Niners to win. I’ll pick them, 24-17, but mostly that’s because I want them to win. If they do, they move on to the Conference Championship game. If they don’t, they go home. But this year, I don’t think I’ll be too disappointed with a loss. This team has already given us more than we could have asked for. It hasn’t always been pretty but they’ve done so much with so little for so long now, I’ve come to believe anything is possible. We find out today, starting at 5:00pm…

Messing With The Fed Is A Bad Idea…

by MyBaconPress

Have you noticed how much money is fleeing to gold and silver as investments? Have you thought about why? Also, you might want to think about what YOU are going to do. You see, no matter how much damage 47 has done or harm he’s caused, things are about to get much, much worse. All of this heat he keeps raining down on Jerome Powell? Donny wants Powell out as Fed Chair. Powell’s term ends in May. Donny doesn’t want to wait and wants Powell to step down now, today.

Powell looks tired. He looks like the pressure is getting to him. But he’s hanging in there. We owe him a debt of gratitude. See, Powell knows, and you should be aware, the minute Powell is out? The US dollar collapses. The US dollar is the world reserve currency, in part, because our economic structure prevents politicians from messing with the money too much.

Once Powell is out, Donny installs a toady and the US dollar becomes subject to the whims of that madman. It will be as trustworthy as the tales they’re telling about the Minneapolis shooting. And, like that shooting, you can SAY anything you want but the world is going to respond to reality, not the fiction.

Powell can hold the line until May, but his term is up in May. That’s when Donny gets his toady Fed Chair anyway. That’s when Donny’s personal whims dictate the interest rates. That’s when faith in the US dollar collapses completely. And when the faith collapses? So does the dollar…

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

It’s the class, you know? I mean, he’s a real classy guy. Like that time (Tuesday) when he was touring Ford’s River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan and a worker started heckling him from the floor about the Trump/Epstein Files, calling him a “pedophile protector” – and he responded by flipping the bird. Great comeback, there, Donny. Now, release the files…

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

From what I see, every decent person on the planet just absolutely hates these ICEholes. These petty little pricks thought that maybe they could gain some respect by putting on a uniform – then they hide behind their masks like cowering children. Maybe they could get even with all of their bullies. They’ve become the bullies they think they hated. Maybe they could finally, finally be a worthwhile person. Instead, they’re reviled and more isolated in life than ever before.

Every decent person on the planet hates their effing guts. Donny’s right about one thing: there’s a reckoning coming. Donny will die. MAGA will fade. Americans will remember. I hope we never, EVER let any of these ICEholes off the hook. EVER. Only we won’t be thugs in the streets. We’ll see you in court, then in prison…

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

Speaking of which, I wonder why MAGA doesn’t hear what Team Evil is saying when they warn that if they lose the mid-terms, they’ll be impeached. It’s a line that has been repeated several times. Donny just used it again in a recent fundraising message.

That’s not a message one normally hears from politicians, “Ooh, I’m so close to being impeached.” I have noticed that NONE of the people who have expressed that concern have included the idea that maybe they shouldn’t be doing the things they’re doing that might GET them impeached. That concept never even crosses their minds.

At least it’s a kind of honesty. “Hey, we’re committing crimes over here but our toady Congress is looking the other way and we’ve seriously compromised the court system. We get to keep stuffing our pockets so long as Congress won’t stop us. Don’t let Congress stop us!”

Honestly, if we have fair elections – or any elections at all – I think Congress flips. Even if it’s just one chamber, sanity can have a say again. If we can take both chambers, the impeachments can begin immediately and the ICEhole trials can start right away, too.

Republicans are trying to frame political enemies by charging them with checking a certain box on mortgage applications. Americans will prosecute MAGA for crimes against humanity. MAGA rank-and-file will be outraged when people start going to jail just for committing the crimes they committed. MAGA prefers made up charges. But sanity will make a comeback, sooner or later. Here’s hoping it’s sooner…

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

Many people are not aware of this but it remains true: new forms of what I might call “representational technology” are very quickly used for nudity. Archeologists have found carvings dating back thousands of years of nude women. Paintings depict nude women going back as far as paintings exist. Some of the earliest still photos are of nude women. Moving pictures followed the same path. Invent the camera, film a nude woman.

I submit that even the speed of the internet has been driven by nudity. In the earliest days of the internet, (I’m told) it took a long, long time to download one photo of a nude woman. I don’t mean to suggest nudity was the ONLY driver. But there can be no doubt it was a strong driver.

The thing about everything up to the internet is that the women depicted were likely willing participants or figments created in an artists mind. I suspect that’s how the internet started too. Then some small-minded moron posted some intimate photos of a woman who dumped him and a whole new nightmare was born: “revenge porn.”

Revenge porn is, more than anything else, proof that the woman was right to dump that useless waste of flesh in the first place, but that doesn’t lessen the shame a person might feel having their private bits exposed for all the world to see. There is some level of pushback now. The law is catching up and giving women the tools they need to protect themselves. Those tools don’t work too well. The speed of the internet is much faster than the speed of law, but at least it’s something. So, of course, now there’s a new danger.

There are several different AI engines out there. None of them operate as advertised. HUGE investments are being thrown at it. Maybe they’ll pay off, maybe not. Some people say the “success” of the Dow is riding almost entirely on AI investments. So far, it’s neither what the tech moguls want, nor the danger it represents to the work-a-day Joes.

Oh, but at least one of them is a definite danger to women and girls: Grok, Elon Musk’s AI engine. Grok is being used to “undress” women and girls in photos. Grok, which praised Hitler and called itself “Mecha-Hitler,” is the only engine that allows that process. But, as of this writing, Grok allows the process. One can undress and sexualize women and girls using Grok. It looks like Elon thinks it’s funny.

Clearly, women do not. It’s got to be weird. If a person who has never seen you naked draws you naked, they’re going to get some of the details wrong, right? But it’s still your face. YOU – the real you – are not being exposed. But it looks close enough that it still feels revealing. It’s still a violation, an invasion. YOU know the picture is wrong, but what about the guy sitting three cubicles down?

It has opened up a new question. Internet platforms are protected from actions against the platform over user-generated content. That is, if I paste your face on someone else’s nude body and post it to Brand X, you can’t sue Brand X. If an employee of Brand X does the same as official business, you CAN sue Brand X, because Brand X created the content.

So what happens when a USER (not the platform) directs an integral part of the platform to commit the crime? The user says, “Dress her in a piece of string,” but Grok does the actual work. Who did that, the user or the platform? Personally, I’d say it’s a conspiracy and both are complicit. That would allow me to hold Brand X responsible and THAT, in turn, would help me protect women who do NOT want to be nude on the internet – and that should be our highest priority in the matter. You know, IMHO…

So, it seems at this point like he has dropped the whole ‘Peace Guy’ persona entirely. He has invaded one foreign, sovereign nation, Venezuela. He’s threatening another, Greenland. He’s bombing Nigeria. Now he’s saber-rattling about Iran. The ONE country, it seems, he’s reluctant to help, militarily, is Ukraine, the one country that has asked – begged – him for help. I can’t (Putin) understand (Putin) what’s keeping him (Putin) from helping in that one (Putin).

No, Nobel Peace Prize for you, Donny. We let you have the vaunted FIFA Peace Prize and you’ve crapped all over it’s hallowed tradition. And, no, you can’t even “share” María Corina Machado’s Peace Prize. I know, I know, you’ve ended, what, a hundred thousand wars? Sure, you have. But the demons you battle in your own head don’t count…

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

47 said, “If we don’t take Greenland, you’re going to have Russia or China as your next-door neighbor. That’s not going to happen.” Will somebody please show him a map? Specifically, Alaska from where, we all know from that voice of wisdom, Sarah Palin, we can see Russia. They’re already our “next-door neighbor.” Dumbass…

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

Donny keeps insisting that oil companies are lining up to get all that beautiful oil – somehow our oil, that we’re only storing under Venezuela – under their control. Obviously the oil companies want the stolen oil. It’s oil. But they’re not as interested in the problems of getting it, so they’re expressing hesitation.

Donny keeps insisting that oil companies are lining up to get all that beautiful oil but the CEO of ExxonMobile said, “If we look at the commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, today it’s un-investable.” But Donny keeps insisting that oil companies are lining up to get all that beautiful oil – so now he’s threatening to cut out ExxonMobile because they don’t see it as a dependable investment. But Donny keeps insisting that oil companies are lining up to get all that beautiful oil…

Let’s visit an old friend, shall we? I’ve got to confess, his illegal invasion of Venezuela, coupled with the ICEhole’s murder of Renee Good served – very effectively – to push the Trump/Epstein files off of the front page. But the matter hasn’t gone away. No matter how desperately he wants it to and wishes it would go away, it hasn’t gone away.

We know Team Evil has been working hard to release pieces of paper showing as little information as possible. They claim those are the files, the pieces of paper. Most people think the “files” are the information on the paper, not the pieces of paper themselves. The 8.5 x 11 black pages aren’t cutting it. Worse, they’re releasing those pieces of paper as slowly as they can by claiming, “We’re working on it. We just read slow.”

So now Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna have requested the court overseeing the release to appoint a Special Master – someone who CAN read. Massie wrote: “Attorney General Pam Bondi is egregiously violating the requirements of the ‘Epstein Files Transparency Act.’ Under her leadership, the Department of Justice is missing statutory disclosure deadlines, making excessive redactions, and illegally withholding the Department’s internal communications. Because the Department of Justice has shown it cannot be trusted with making the disclosures required by law, a Special Master should be appointed to oversee the release of the Epstein files.” See? It hasn’t gone away and it isn’t going away…

Just a thought: racism among white men seems to be rooted in a fear, “Holy crap, what if they do to us what we’ve always done to them?” So, you could stop doing to them…

As Iran cracks down on protestors, martyrs are being highlighted. Oddly, as the US cracks down on, um, who are they cracking down on, again? Oh, right, anybody who gets in their way for any reason, whatsoever, right. We’re getting some martyrs, too.

Iran has been in upheaval to one degree or another, ever since the United States overthrew the democracy there in favor of the Shah (and the oil, of course). It seems natural they’d have a martyr or two. On the other hand, the US has only been in upheaval since Donny the Dumbass seized power. He’s only been running the show (into the ground) for about a year, we already have a name or two to rally around.

Yes, your own country creating martyrs IS a badge of shame, but let us not let their tribulations and deaths be in vain. Word is, his criminal regime will fall if we can get just 3% of the population into the streets. Our current population is 345,297,879. That means we need about 10.3 million people marching – peacefully, please. The sooner we get out there, the fewer names of martyrs we’ll have to collect…

I’ve got to say, these Forty-Niners are a rather amazing squad. They keep suffering injury after injury. They have a long list of starters sitting on the sideline. They just lost another in yesterday’s game. They won anyway. Now they’re going to play Seattle again. They played two weeks ago and it didn’t go well for the Niners.

The Niners Head Coach, Kyle Shanahan, has publicly requested a Sunday game instead of a Saturday game of the NFL. That’s pretty unusual. Normally, coaches just shrug off whatever day they’re assigned. “It is what it is.” I suspect he needs as much time as he can get to prop up what’s left of his team. Yeah, the Niners won, but they lost George Kittle to a torn Achilles tendon, the latest in a concerning, long line of soft-tissue injuries. The team leads the league in soft-tissue injuries.

There’s a story going around. Maybe a rumor? There’s a guy out there named Peter Cowan. He says he has an inkling as to why the Niners are the most injury-prone team in the entire NFL over the last decade. First he lists the injuries. It’s a pretty brutal list, and it’s long. Every Niner fan knows this team has suffered more than it’s share of injuries. We openly ask each other, “Why?” What’s going on? I mean, the injuries are a regular topic of conversation.

Cowan says he thinks the problem can be traced to an electrical substation next to the Niners practice field. He says the substation emits “low-frequency electromagnetic fields” that can “degrade collagen, weaken tendons, and cause soft-tissue damage at levels regulators call ‘safe.'” Cowan traces the pattern back to 2014, when the team started using Levi’s Stadium full time. It’s an interesting theory, if nothing else. Meanwhile, the Niner survivors are off to Seattle to face the Seahawks again…

One Fraud After Another…

Through the years, I’ve picked up a thing or two about the Dow Jones Industrial Average. For one, it’s not that anymore. Now it’s the Dow Jones index. It tracks financial stocks, not industry. Another, and this is important, is that the Dow is not the economy. I mention that one because of this one: the Dow, specifically, is nothing more than a CEO happiness indicator.

Corporate “news” likes to trumpet increases in the Dow as if it means YOU are doing better. But you aren’t, are you? You’re struggling more than, what, ever? The Dow keeps reaching record highs and you keep finding your wallet lighter and lighter. Nobody’s telling you, but the two are absolutely related.

After the Dow changed from an industrial index to a financial index, it’s meaning changed. When it was an industrial index, it measured the health and strength of the US economy. Now? Well, now it measures how well rich people are doing. Now, every uptick of the Dow means they have more and you have less. Every. Single. Tick, tick, tick. They have more, you have less. Tick, tick, tick. Celebrate a robust Dow at your own peril…

It’s weird to realize, but do you know who – more than anybody else – does NOT believe in Capitalism? Capitalists! Oh, you don’t believe me? Watch them. Actions speak louder than words. The story is about buying and selling. Succeed you win, mistakes, you lose. But that’s just the story. In reality, their “Capitalism” often consists of stealing and selling, not buying and selling. While it seems true that succeeding equals winning, in practice, mistakes don’t equal loss. They equal Socialism, where the population bails them out financially and gives them a second run at it. Then a third. Then a fourth. Then… well, ad infinitum.

Even Capitalists think Socialism is better than Capitalism, and you can know it if you just ignore their words and pay attention to what they do. Actions speak louder than words. I’ll tell you this: Since even Capitalists reject Capitalism, I think I will, too…

Okay, back to this. Sorry. I’ve been watching videos of the murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis. I’ve also been listening to Team Evil describing the events surrounding the shooting of a person in Minneapolis – apparently on the same day. Question: was there a second shooting in Minneapolis on the day Renee Good was murdered? One that nobody is aware of except the lying liars of Team Evil? Because the events they’re describing? Those events have nothing, whatsoever, to do with the events shown in the videos. None.

In the shooting Team Evil is referencing, the killer was run over by a vehicle and is now recovering in the hospital. In the Good murder, the killer kills the driver, spits an epithet at her dying body, then turns around and walks away. Then he gets in a car and drives off. That’s not what “recovering in a hospital” looks like.

Also, where is this driving school the puppy killer Kristi Noem pretends is out there? She said, it’s on video, that protestors are being trained to use their vehicles to drive into ICEholes. Really? Where? By whom? More importantly, why? How much training do you suppose that takes? But since it’s clear Good’s intention was to NOT hit Ross, either she didn’t get the training, or she failed the course, right?

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

I’ve heard two different concepts from Donny recently that I suspect are intended to seduce his base into thinking he’s doing something for them. The first was his proposal to stop Wall Street from buying single family homes and the second was to cap credit card interest at 10%. Both of those ideas would benefit work-a-day Joes.

But stopping Wall Street from buying single family homes would hurt their bottom line. Capping credit card interest rates would mean less money for the issuing banks. If you think Donny is going to do anything, anything at all, to hurt rich-people investments just to benefit working class people, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. (Again.) That is to say, I’ll believe it when I see it.

But it DOES prove that he knows there are things he could do to help the American people, right? He knows what to promise. That means he knows where, and how, we, the people, are hurting. Honestly, I don’t think he’ll do one thing for the working class. But at least we know he knows – so we also know, he just doesn’t care…

I really don’t understand The Felon’s obsession with Greenland. It’s important to note: Greenlanders don’t want to be part of the US, and why would they? Why would citizens of a First World nation want to move backwards into a failing, submerging nation like the US? It would represent a giant step backwards. Compared to Europe, the US is rather primitive. Greenland becoming part of the US would be like the US pulling out all of it’s plumbing and throwing it away.

Donny says he needs Greenland for national security. Not true. The US already has a huge military presence in Greenland. We already have permission to expand that presence. Owning the island won’t make any difference. I became convinced he really just wanted the natural resources available there, but then I saw Rasmus Jarlov, the former Danish business manager in an interview saying the US already has “unlimited military access to Greenland they that don’t use and they could extract all the minerals that they wanted if they would just put up the investments, so there’s nothing they need in Greenland that they don’t already have exclusive access to.”

So if he already has the military presence he needs and he already has access to the minerals, what’s the point? Based on everything else I’ve ever seen from the guy, he wants to steal something. Maybe the problem with extracting minerals from Greenland is that they might have to pay Greenland something for them. Then again, maybe he’s just insane and he can’t stop himself from starting WW III. It’s also an excellent plan to fracture NATO and we know his master, Putin, wants that.

There’s a case to made for pure stupidity, too, and Donny makes it, himself. “The fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean that they own the land. [I’m] sure we had lots of boats go there also.” So, Donald Trump thinks the US had “lots of boats” going to Greenland? 500 years ago? He said it, and Joe Biden didn’t make him say it…

Good football games yesterday. The Rams beat the Panthers and the Bears beat the Packers, both with exciting finishes. Bears/Packers was boring for three and a half quarters, then it really picked up. So next week’s schedule for the NFC is foreseeable. The Niners play the Eagles this evening. If the Niners win tonight, they travel to Seattle next week and the Rams go to Chicago. If the Eagles win tonight, the Rams travel to Seattle and the Bears host the Eagles. Either way, next week the Seattle Seahawks host an NFC West rival. That should be fun…

Pulling Beards and Flicking Faces…

“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” The last known words of Renee Good, to the ICEhole who shot and killed her.

“Fuckin’ bitch!” First words of shooter Jonathan Ross after killing Renee Good.

In an effort to support their fraudulent coverup of a story, lying Team Evil has released more video of the incident involving the killer Jonathan Ross. They’re trying to prove she was an out of control nutball intent on hurting the officers. Dog Killer Kristi Noem called Good a “domestic terrorist,” fercrissakes. With her smiling face and her, “I’m not mad at you,” it’s a little hard to take that seriously.

Each angle I’ve seen – three now, two from bystanders, one from the killer – shows that the car and the ICEhole DID come into contact with each other. MAGA is sure that’s all the proof they need. But a very solid case can be made that the ICEhole put himself in front of her car. That’s a known no-no for cops.

She was trying to avoid him – and he could so easily have simply stepped to one side. It remains true. She wasn’t TRYING to hit him, he didn’t need to shoot her. Hell, they already had her license plate. It would have been a simple enough matter to follow up later, if needs be – oh, AND IF they had the authority to do so. Instead, Ross panicked.

Team Evil really wants, maybe needs, to justify this killing. So they piled on with their stories. Why, I don’t know. MAGA already believes (they have no choice). “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” – George Orwell, 1984. Rational people all know what we saw. So, just for added flavor, Team Evil is trying to justify the killer’s overreaction by pointing out that he was dragged by a car several months ago and ended up getting thirty-three stitches.

I’ve seen that video, too. The dude was breaking the glass and reaching into the car. That is, an unsecured car with the motor still running. The driver took off and Ross couldn’t manage to pull his arm out. That’s poor police work. His arm shouldn’t have been in there. Killer Ross is an ICE agent, not a cop. Still, the driver is charged and will face trial. Meanwhile, Ross is back on the street, apparently with PTSD, and Team Evil is using that incident to justify this incident. It’s no wonder he’s a little “sensitive,” they suggest.

What I hear is that they put an agent with PTSD back on the street and he killed a civilian, an American, a mother. Not a terrorist. Not even a protestor. A mother. He over-reacted and panicked, possibly as a result of his PTSD. So don’t try him for first degree murder. Lesser charges are fine, but charge the guy.

I would love that. Minnesota should arrest Jonathan Ross and charge him with homicide. It would be awesome pushback against the abuses and over-reach of ICE and the regime. Donny couldn’t pardon him for state charges. I think it might help to diffuse people’s anger, too.

We all know, the intent of all of this insanity is to provoke a response. Donny needs an excuse to escalate and this outrageous, unconstitutional behavior is supposed to bring it about sooner or later. All they need is one person – one – to respond in kind. It’s an untenable situation. People are angry and getting angrier. Sooner or later, someone WILL respond and then…what?

There’s one more aspect of this Team Evil isn’t even addressing. There’s going to be much back and forth on who did what and what was appropriate and even, maybe, “deserved.” The incident, itself, will be polluted with bullshit until it’s hard to determine details. But one thing that can NOT be denied? Those ICEholes denied Renee Good medical aid.

Some of the video that has emerged shows a person trying to render medical aid in the moments immediately after Ross shot Good for no reason. The ICEholes refused to let the person. The person clearly tells them, “I’m a doctor!” The ICEhole clearly replies, “I don’t care.” That, alone, should be legally actionable. Even when the ambulance showed up, ICE wouldn’t let the ambulance into the area. The EMT’s had to carry their equipment and get to Good on foot, wasting even more valuable time. That wasn’t an oversight, either.

“The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.” – John Lennon.

If Minnesota arrested Ross, the people would be pleased. Some of that anger would dissipate. Yes, it would escalate the situation, but in a different way than the regime wants. #ArrestJonathanRoss…

It’s one of the most stupefying things about MAGA. They’re all running around these days insisting there’s no such thing as international law. I’m sure there’s no connection, but it seems to have started right around the time their Precious violated international law by kidnapping Maduro. They all KNOW there IS such a thing as international law. The Geneva Conventions are only one example of the various treaties and agreements that constitute international law. Still, this is the preferred MAGA position, these days, and they’re going to stick to it and insist upon it – until they need international law.

You see, no one has explained the other shoe to them. It goes like this: If the Felon’s actions in Venezuela are okay because there’s no such thing as international law, then there’s nothing stopping a different nation – maybe one that doesn’t like us, hell, maybe one of our allies – from sending in their Delta Force to eliminate a foreign head of state THEY consider unstable and problematic.

I presume MAGA will take the position that they wouldn’t dare considering how bad to the bone we are. But they might dare and, according to MAGA, that wouldn’t be a legal problem in any way, right? There are, after all, no international laws, right? It’s immediately apparent, it’s a stupid position that leads to an obvious conclusion.

Fortunately, MAGA can just switch back on a moment’s notice. It’s the main advantage to a complete lack of principles. They can ignore every word they ever uttered when they pretended international law was just a dream, and now insist international law is the most important law. You know, should they need to. Zero principles. Mind-boggling…

Who’s Paying For All Of This?

by MyBaconPress

Honestly, put yourself in their position. The oil companies, I mean. Don’t consider this question from the position of a MAGA, who only sees 47 as beautiful and perfect. Consider the question from the point of view of a corporate boardroom – a boardroom that controls billions of dollars. Donny says the US is going to “run” Venezuela. The question you’re going to ask is, how? Like he has “run” the US? When one is not blinded by MAGA, one easily sees what a mess everything is.

Now Donny’s telling them, “Go into Venezuela and spend billions of dollars rehabilitating their oil industry while we (Team Evil) provide all of that beautiful stability and long-term structure corporations love so much.” If I was the CEO of one of those companies, my answer would be something like, “Yes, sir, we’re on our way. We sure are in a hurry. Thanks, pal.” Then? I think I would sit on my hands and wait and watch.

Despite their claims, I suspect they want the oil. Just having access to it fattens their bottom lines. But the only thing anybody can say, for sure, about Venezuela is that it’s now a country that has been destabilized. Nobody can predict the future there. Investing billions into an unstable, possibly unreliable economy isn’t the kind of thing these companies usually do…

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

Okay, quick question: now that we know all of this agitating has been about seizing Venezuela’s oil industry, what does that mean for all of those small boats blown up and the people murdered in the name of stopping Fentanyl?

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

To me, it looked like the Minneapolis driver was waving traffic around her at the start of the video. That seems relevant. I don’t know why she was stopped sideways in the street, but it seems like the move of someone turning around. It looked (and sounded) like she was waving conflicting traffic around her, both for their convenience and so she could more safely complete her turn-around.

Then ICEholes rolled up and sprang into ICEhole action. They approached the vehicle, yelling and shouting. They attempted to access the vehicle. No warrant, no probable cause. When they attempted to open the door, the driver backed up. Then she put her vehicle in drive, turned the wheel to the right (that’s important, too) and hit the gas.

There was an ICEhole standing kind of in front of her. (He was a little off to the side.) That will be the fact Team Evil will hang it’s hat on. To me, it looked like she was steering past the ICEhole but for a moment, as a matter of physics, the car was pointed directly at the guy. That was his moment to “get even” with all of those bullies. He pointed his weapon and fired. He shot a woman in the head. She’s dead.

People are going to see this the way they want to, and I’m a people. I can’t say what she was thinking, but, to me, it didn’t LOOK like she was driving AT him. If I was on his jury, I would vote to convict…

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

Well, that didn’t take long. It never does, really. MAGA has been against nation-building, regime change, “forever” wars since Iraq and Afghanistan. Especially so long as they thought those wars were started by Democrats, even though they were actually started by Bush 43. They’ve been loud about it. 47 ran on his record of “peace,” and they lapped it up.

Now that Donny has started a nation-building, regime change, “forever” war, MAGA is all in. It took them a few days. MAGA media had to put the “Ain’t he great?” B-roll on a loop for a few days, but the conditioning seems complete now, and MAGA is all in on this nation-building, regime change, “forever” war. It easy for MAGA media to manipulate the MAGA mind. The MAGA mind lacks principles, so it’s easy for them to shift from one position to it’s exact opposite in a matter of a couple of days…

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

Now that son-of-a-bitch is cutting off funding for needy families – but only in so-called “blue states.” He claims fraud and cuts people off “until this can be straightened out.” Remember, his stories don’t have to be true. They’re intended for video loops in MAGA media to fool the rank and file. Really, he’s just attacking blue states. Oh, AND all of the red people living in those blue states. That is a problem with our pretended ‘red state, blue state’ dynamic. There’s red in blue and there’s blue in red. You can’t hurt JUST blue by attacking so-called “blue” states.

He doesn’t really care, of course. It’s for show. It’s an excuse to claw back American taxpayer money from the American people and put that American taxpayer money into his own pocket instead. Mostly, he has targeted children in this attack. That is, the money he’s slashing is for programs that help needy children.

Attacking children isn’t new to Donny so I presume this is easy. This IS, after all, the guy who set up and then stole from a children’s cancer charity, after all. He’s also the guy who allegedly raped and trafficked children for sexual purposes. He also violated underage teenagers by leering at them while they changed during beauty pageants. No, attacking children doesn’t seem to be out of bounds for him at all.

I don’t have to work at all to make a list of things he has done TO the American people. I can’t think of one single thing he has done FOR the American people…

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

I think the vast majority of people won’t take direct action against Donny because we’re far too civilized. We’re still counting on “elections” in a corrupt society with a rising dictator. We keep hoping some help will come from some place – just swoop in and save the day – but, so far, nothing. Meanwhile, we keep hoping for him to just go away – but nobody will do anything to help him ‘just go away,’ you know?

Now, though, I think Donny may have upped the ante a bit in a rather dangerous game. He used drugs as his excuse to invade Venezuela. Now he’s blathering about drugs in other countries, too. The thing is? There really ARE drug cartels in Central and South America. They really ARE billion dollar operations. And, by definition, they play outside the rules the rest of us follow instinctively.

As a law-abiding, civilized citizen, I won’t raise a hand against Donny – even as he attacks my life on a daily basis. But the drug cartels? Give them a reason. They very well might…

STILL On The 2020 Election? Okay…

by MyBaconPress

The level of obsession 47 shows with things past, things that can not be changed because they’re done and did is WAY beyond normal concern. OCD, maybe? I’ve heard (and seen) how Alzheimer’s can cause obsessive focus on things. The Drumpfster seems to be displaying that when it comes to the election of 2020 – and his reaction to it.

We’ve heard a LOT about January 6th. Honest people saw and reported an insurrection, fueled by The Felon. MAGA called it a ‘Day of Love.’ It was violent. People died. Things were damaged. MAGA demanded that we ignore all the violence and focus only on the empty corridors where the violence wasn’t occurring. Whatever the story, the main point held by Team Evil was that it was a spontaneous event Donny had no control over or connection to.

But, uh-oh. It turns out, Team Evil paid the expenses of huge swaths of the criminals and miscreants who attacked the Capitol on J6. Now, MAGA will deny that fact, claiming that there is no document with a line-item that reads, “Bring in violent protestors to kill cops.” Well, duh. Even MAGA isn’t dumb enough to write it out like that.

What Team Evil did was fund organizations who then funded efforts to get people to the rally. They even set up a bus program to transport people. See? Politicians ARE bussing people to preferred locations. It’s just that it’s the Republicans bussing violent criminals to the Capitol building so they can attack – just like Donny asked them to. A bunch of the money was funneled through Turning Point USA, by the way. That’s Charlie Kirk’s group, now helmed by Erika Kirk.

That is to say, Turning Point was instrumental in the J6 insurrection. Maybe that’s why Charlie had to go. He knew too much…

He spends his days tilting at windmills. Now all you have to do is decide if I’m talking about Don Quixote or Donny the Dotard…

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

“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.”

“Our investigation also developed powerful evidence that showed that President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January of 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a ballroom and a bathroom. He then repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents.”

“January 6th was an attack on the structure of our democracy in which over 140 heroic law enforcement officers were assaulted. Over 160 individuals later pled guilty to assaulting police that day. Exploiting that violence, President Trump and his associates tried to call Members of Congress in furtherance of their criminal scheme, urging them to further delay certification of the 2020 election. I did not choose those Members, President Trump did.”

“Pres. Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him.”

Excerpts of Jack Smith’s testimony to Congress…

Ah, crap. The world really is turning upside down. It’s weird agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene but she’s been saying truthful things recently, and I agree with truthful things. So? Suddenly, MTG and I agree about some things. I’ll get used to it. Besides, I WANT to create space for recovered MAGA to come home to.

But now it’s happening with Lauren Boebert, too. She says Donny vetoed a water project in her district in retaliation for her support of releasing the Trump/Epstein Files. I suspect an added irritant for the Dotard is that Colorado won’t let a Felon Donny likes out of prison, the way HE lets Felons he likes out of prison. Either way, now I find myself agreeing with Lauren Boebert, fercrissakes!

In a statement to a local news outlet, she said, “Nothing says ‘America First’ like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado many of whom enthusiastically voted for him all three elections … But hey, if this administration wants to make its legacy blocking projects that deliver water to rural Americans; that’s on them.”

I’m terrible at predictions but here’s one anyway: this veto of a unanimously passed, bipartisan bill, will be the first scale to fall from Boebert’s eyes. I suspect the truth is about to set her free. Stay tuned…

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

Has no one in MAGA really ever stopped to consider the mountain of information they’re asked to simply write off as fake news or a Democrat hoax on a daily basis? Have they never heard the adage, ‘Where there’s smoke, there’s fire?’ Even after things he had declared hoaxes or fake news get exposed as truths and factual news, MAGA still simply dismisses “less-than” information about Donny as some kind of conspiracy.

Is it really possible that all of these revelations, exposures, and reveals on his behavior and performance could be hoaxes or fake news? Here, let me help. No. The answer is no. Donny IS the criminal the civilized world says he is. He is not the “hero” MAGA thinks he is. MTG knows now. Boebert is learning, right now. MAGA will catch up, given enough time…

Well, he’s done it again. He keeps suggesting that every president should take a cognitive exam because “our great country cannot be run by “STUPID” or incompetent people.” That’s why he’s bragging that he keeps taking the things. He actually and honestly thinks those tests prove he’s smart. The thing is, because most people realize that cognitive exams are not intelligence tests, he’s sort of proving the exact opposite.

In a recent ramble, he wrote, “I ACED (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination, something which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take.” What he means, of course, is that no other President or previous Vice President was ever asked to take a cognitive exam – though I imagine Ronald Reagan took one or two.

His own team knows he’s losing his mind. At least they’re working to prop him up…

Donny’s big plan to lower drug prices? Oh, he asked the drug companies to lower their prices. In his pea brain, that, along with his stripping away of health insurance from millions of Americans, should solve the health care crisis in the US, right? Well, he DID ask – and they answered. It turns out, drug companies are raising prices on hundreds of medications. Not to put too fine of a point on this, that’s the exact opposite of what Donny asked.

Why, it’s almost as if the drug companies consider him a useless, feckless, irrelevant, obnoxious, useless (did I say useless already?), stupid, moronic, greedy, sinful, self-serving, self-important blowhard of a failed, useless (I did say useless already, right?) complete waste, pedophile, piece-of-crap of a human being.

Oh, I guess I DO have something in common with drug companies, after all…
