Bored of War & Peace 19: Hegseth resegregating the United States Military and Republicans are Genital obsessed weirdos

Remaking the Military into Lethal Whites instead of Lethal Weapons and trading in OD Green for White Power.

Well...  Drunken Whiskey Pete Hegseth just issued a directive about testing for Testosterone levels in military service members...

Every Republican is a panty-sniffing genital obsessed weirdo.

This test is for women as well as men.  I actually think this is a backdoor way of getting a test ensconced which Republicans plan to then use on other people (forcibly if necessary) to prove they are a "Transgender" and thus put them into camps and psych wards for reprogramming. (I'm sure bad faith rightwingers will declare, You forced us to get Covid tests so we are going to force you to get Low-T tests!) 

Besides wanting to fondle service men's balls and sniffing women's panties to see if they are producing High-T Warriors, and of course issuing illegal and immoral war crimes orders, the other thing Hegseth has been focused on is stopping women and minorities in the US military from advancing up the ranks.

For a long time the enlisting in the United States military was a good move for financial stability and a base level of respect for black and brown people in the United States.  Advancement was, ostensibly, color-blind and medical benefits, base pay, basic housing, and TDY pay provided a stable floor to try and break the shackles of generational poverty.

When I was in the Marines in the early 2000's many senior enlisted personnel were African-Americans.  

The White Power Military
Hegseth is building

Including my first Sgt Maj, a man from Belize, who was coming up on 30 years service.  The reason has always been that for the most part many of the prerequisites for promotion (in the enlisted ranks) are based on color-blind merit and evaluations free from the bigotry.

Officer promotions are, of course, different and at the higher levels are a political chess game.  Remember the only senior high ranking Officer to face repercussions for Abu Ghraib was a Female Brigadier General Janis Karpinski.  But, Hegseth has taken it upon himself to not let women or blacks into the door.

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, stripped nine navy officers including women and Black service members from a promotion list last month, according to a person familiar with the matter, resulting in an all-male, overwhelmingly white slate of 22 advancing as nominees to become one-star admirals.

 This isn't the first time Hegseth has stopped the advancement of women and persons of color.  And he's also pushed those already in positions out.  The goal is of course to produce a genocidal evangelical endtimes focused military which will be more than happy to engage in warcrimes and xenophobic wars against the other to ensure Armageddon.

It's hard to pin-point which Traitor trump co-criminal is the worst.  Stephen Miller certainly might be, Just Despicable Vance wants to be, Mirco Rubio is pushing more and more for the invasion of Cuba, but the long-term damage Hegseth is doing to the U.S. military, senior structure, and physical and moral damage to the U.S. Navy, to say nothing of the fracturing of NATO with this constant drumbeat about Greenland are going to have lasting impact and require decades of careful diplomatic work...  which I don't think the current United States can muster.

Traitor trump orders ICE to keep killing people

“Everyone was saying that, you know, ICE was gone, you know, January, February, March, because, you know there was not really activity for some people, or people were not paying attention because all eyes were on Minnesota. But ICE never really left.” Allison Galvan, co-founder of the ICE detention rapid response.

"I tried to stop," - last words of Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero before his constitutional rights were violated and he was murdered in Biddeford, Maine.

For the briefest moments, after several unlawful extrajudicial murders by ICE Agents conducting unconstitutional searches & seizures, John Wayne Mullin called for a pause in these 4th Amendment violating "Kavanaugh Stops".  Well, Traitor trump let his lackey know that's not acceptable.

Traitor trump ordered the resumption of these unconstitutional traffic stops with the hope and expectation it will lead to more highly charged confrontations and more deaths.

Never forget these ICE agents are acting this way because they are getting tacit and explicit support from their superiors, higher ups, trump administration officials, rightwing corporate media, and King Donnie himself.  They absolutely believe they can brazenly act this way because there iz zero accountability and no future repercussions.

One thing which the Corporate Media doesn't cover and rightwing media completely ignores is these forcible detentions are often happening based on no probable cause.  Seeing a brown person isn't probable cause no matter what Beer swillin' Bart O'Kavanugh claims.  But, and this is hard truth; white people love these fatal interactions even with so-called "innocent" persons because whites in America believe all black and brown people are a priori  guilty of something and just haven't been caught yet, therefore their mistreatment up to and including summary extrajudicial execution in the streets is not a problem.

And don't go thinking any pretend moderate Republicans care.  Do you think Senator Susan Collins gives a shit ICE gunned down an innocent man in her state? Or any single Republican in Texas cares Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot dead without cause?  And that the Federal Government is pressuring and attempting to get all the witnesses to deport themselves so as to ensure the cover-up?  Or that there is no body camera footage?  Which would perjure the ICE Agents lies as it did when little fascist shit Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good and called her a "fucking bitch" while he and his buddies let her bleed out?

Well, Traitor trump, Stephen Miller, John Wayne Mullin, et al want these murderous encounters and traffic stops to continue.  They want people to be killed because the rightwing propaganda machine goes into immediate overdrive to besmirch the murdered individuals (recall the multiple "killings" of Renee Good) and they want Democrats to get upset and call for the Abolishment of ICE.  Republicans would like nothing better than to run on Democrats want to abolish ICE so black and brown monsters can kidnap and rape all the white women.  

Fear-mongering over immigrant hordes raping and killing along with Kamala is for They/Them, trump is for You was the greatest American political campaign of the 21st century.

I'm sure you wish it wasn't so but, it is.  That's the political reality.  Whites are by and large a lost cause.  These people aren't your countrymen anymore.  They expect your silent and docile acceptance of the new fascist order and want you dead if you protest or interfere.

It's Rule or Ruin, just like it was 165 years ago.

Trump's purloined billions, crypto cons, pardons, and insider trading

“Let’s also ensure that members of congress cannot
corruptly profit from using insider information.
Did Nancy Pelosi stand up? ... Doubt it.”

    Once he was back in office Donnie wasn't no time stealing every dollar he could.  Traitor trump revealed he "made" $2.4 billion in his first year back in the White House.

Everyone knows he made ten times that number or more but, this is what he had to admit to in his monstrous 927 page disclosure.    

The deal Traitor trump made with the Republicans was he could steal everything he wanted as long as he delivered what they wanted; a dismantling of the Federal bureaucracy and a powerful fascist paramilitary domestic force to quell dissent.

In exchange, Republicans would ceaselessly prattle on about the Biden Crime Family, or Hunter Biden's "Laptop", or Nancy Pelosi and know their conditioned conservative drones will immediately nod and say Yes, they all do it but, Democrats is worse...

"The word 'affordability' is a fake word, made up by the Democrats, I'll tell you why it's fake: Because they made it up I inherited these prices." - Donnie Don't Care.

 As Donnie Don't Care has repeatedly stated he doesn't give a shit about Americans well-being as he claims the "Affordability" crisis is a fake word, a hoax, and it's the Democrats fault anyway, even as Republican liars like Mike Lawler claim to have solved the "housing crisis" and after all there's always Nancy Pelosi,

 "As I said I don't think people should be profiting in office.  Nobody should.  You know, Nancy Pelosi shouldn't.  She's made, you know, millions upon millions of dollars."- Mike Lawler when asked about Traitor trump's looting of the United States.

Whataboutism is the go to move every time Donnie Don't Care is caught with his dick inside a teenage rape victim.

And if all that would fail, well Traitor trump, Just Despicable Vance, and StepheNazi Miller can simply do another round of blaming the immigrants.

White people have been successfully conditioned by 50 years of non-stop Republican propaganda;  ever since the Lewis Powell Memo and Nixon's forced resignation, Republicans determined never to put the interests of the Nation or American People ahead of their Party and their Rich co-conspriators.

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who has used his time in the Senate to enrich his family via various kickback schemes, repeatedly threatened probes and congressional investigations into President Biden's conflicts of interests and his pardon of his son.

And in response, Donnie Don't Care has been a wild pardon spree releasing all manner of fraudsters, grifters, thieves, and con artists, and traitors;  i.e. his people.

And the January 6th treasonous insurrectionists aren't even the worst!  (But, Republican propaganda has masterfully convinced some MAGA that the Jan6th criminals were all Antifa, FBI, and Souther Poverty Law Center activists while rightwingers also say the Jan6th criminals were all innocent patriots.)

And thus we see the successful rightwing propaganda machine at work.  White people, who often don't even hear about these heinous pardons because of the rightwing news they consume, are also done a disservice by the US corporate media, which barely seeks to cover Trump's criminal financial empire, stops mentioning it after an initial tepid report, and then retreats to their preferred #BothSidesDoIt narrative while also giving Donnie a pass cause they like the guy.

Anyway stealing is the least of Donnie's crimes.

Draining the Reflecting Pool and tearing the White House down

is an allegory for the draining of the National spirit of the United States of America.  The National Mall Anniversary Day is July 16th, to commemorate the laying out of the city plan in 1790.  I suppose we could reflect on that...

So, after Traitor trump's colossal fuck up and destruction of the reflecting pool, the National Parks Service had to drain it yet again.

You know what wasn't found?  A "350-foot gash"...It should be a bigger deal the President of the United States is a syphilitic liar.  A traitor.  A conman.  

You know what was found?  Massive tire marks caused by lazy Donnie's motorcade which ferried his gigantic ass across the reflecting pool surface even though it wasn't made for being driven upon, let alone with Traitor trump's stupid fucking vehicles.

Look...  Donald trump is a thief and a traitor.  But, he'd be nothing more than some two-bit failed casino hustler and grotesque rapist without his acolytes, sycophants, and the criminal co-conspirators he's surrounded himself with who are willing to do all sorts of immoral, unethical, and illegal acts.

You know, I was at the Reflecting Pool yesterday, and I think it's very sad. 

Someone intentionally did a tremendous amount of damage to the pool. 

And you can actually see where all the cutting is. 

They took a sharp object and cut for many feet along the pool.

- Lying Jeanine Pirro

I know why white people love him, he encourages them to be their worst selves, to revel in their biases, to feel good about being bigoted and racist and intolerant.  He does all the things they wish they could do;  

• Steal.  
• Cheat on his taxes.  
• Bang hot broads.  
• Lie.  
• Damage and destroy shit and blame someone else.  
• Murder... 

I know why Republicans love him.  His bombastic bullshit and total unhinged, fact-free missives gives them license and cover to do what they want;  dismantle the Federal Government and turn the United States into a Fascist Totalitarian shithole country whilst maintaining a simulacrum of the Democratic Republic.

And the US Corporate Media simply likes him.  Journalists get a kick out of him and simply ignore his lies and nonsense and bullshit and direct insults and attacks on them cause they like the guy.

So...  So, I guess we're here then.  Where a total piece of shit asshole rapist racist loser gets to claim, Antifa and vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool, and his lackeys make false arrests based on that.

Traitor trump destroyed the Reflecting Pool because that's what this asshole always does.  He's always done slip-shod work, on the cheap, while breaking things, and claiming the work he's done is the greatest ever.

And for years everyone when he was bankrupt casino owner, and a Russian-mafia backed slumlord in New York City everyone, simply nodded and went Yeah, yeah, yeah to his claims of greatness.

And now he's broken the United States.  It doesn't mean we can't fix it but, Republicans are going to viciously fight non-stop to hamper We, the Peoples efforts to right what Donnie Dumbass has wronged.

Fearing for Public Safety

 As a Police Officer, I heard and read all manner of euphemisms to justify blatantly illegal actions by Officers and Departments.  But, I never heard a justification of an unconstitutional extrajudicial killing as being based on "fearing for public safety".

It's a disgusting amorphous phrase based on total bullshit.  It's like trying to claim a disorderly conduct authorizes deadly force.  But, in fact it's even worse.

Yet, again the Gestapho imitators at ICE have launched an attack on a person not committing a crime, in unmarked vehicles, while not in uniform, wearing regular clothing, while masked, guns drawn, seemingly without identifying themselves, using their vehicles as a weapon, and thus ended up executing a man.

That man by the Department of Homeland Terrorism admitted was not the "suspect" they were looking for, but when every brown person is your eventual target any one will do,

The fatal shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Maine has become the latest flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s aggressive crackdown on foreign nationals.

The incident unfolded in Biddeford, a coastal city about 24km (15 miles) southwest of Portland, the state’s biggest city.

According to DHS, agents attempted to stop a vehicle leaving the address. The department said the driver tried to flee and that “fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon”.

Earlier, Maine Senator Angus King said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had told him the officer fired after the driver allegedly attempted to use the vehicle as a weapon against ICE agents.

King also said the agents involved were not wearing body cameras and that they had been in Biddeford to arrest someone other than the man who was shot.

This is as clear-cut a 4th Amendment violation as the murder of Alex Pretti was an express violation of the 2nd Amendment.  The murdered man was not a suspect, was here legally, and was not in the commission of any crime when the unidentified ICE Thugs attacked.  Biddeford, Maine is right next door to Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, two of the richest areas in Maine, 99% white, and the home to former President George W. Bush.

First off, don't ever forget, don't ever accept their lies, and don't ever give the benefit of the doubt.  These actions are completely unconstitutional and unlawful.  And they are being done willfully and wantonly by agents in the field, with the express support of their superiors, and the vocal support of the treasonous White House officials, like Stephen Miller, Jeannie Pirro, and MarkJohnWayne Mullin.

Again, lying Trump acolytes and co-conspriators attempted to use the ubiquitous lie of the murdered individual tried to use his vehicle as a weapon, this is the go to lie they use to set the tone for on-line bots to parrot and to justify these murders.  Again the ICE Agents shot someone in a car because they are being told to do so and most likely been given verbal assurances they will be defended by the Trump Department of Injustice and the rightwing propaganda machine.

Secondly, this is exactly what white people wanted and expressly voted for in selecting Donnie Dumbass.

Third, Trump lackeys feel comfortable committing crimes and acting with petulant impunity because they feel certain they will face zero repercussions when this whole thing finally comes to an end.  This extends all the way down to individual murderers at ICE up to Traitor trump himself.

The ICE murders are ramping up again, after Stephen Miller told them to cool off for a bit.

Trump's Empty GAS-F is a fart in the wind

(Runnin' On) Running on Empty

As a visual metaphors go, Traitor Trump tearing down the White House, turning the Reflecting Pool into a swampy morass, while Republicans lovingly reinstall statues Confederate Traitors in Washington DC is sadly perfect.  But, I don't think anyone was prepared for how thinly attended, how cheap and shoddy*, and just how empty in attendance as well as spirit his GAS-F would be!

Trump's GAS-F is as big a failure as everything else he's ever done.  Unfortunately, something being a total failure doesn't mean it isn't massively destructive.  The Reflecting Pool, the John F. Kennedy Center, the East Wing of the White House these are just the most obvious and apparent illustrations of the repair work the next Democratic Administration will have to do.

But, while the Republicans in the Senate, House, and Supremacist Court will do everything they can to undermine, subvert, stall, obstruct and harm the next Democratic President as they attempt to undo the generational amount of damage inflicted on the Nation by Traitor trump and his criminal cabal, it's so apparent white people don't actually like Donnie.

Reflections of...
the way life used to be

Now, you'll counter with all the Jordan Kleeper or Dean Withers interviews with insane white people festooned in trump apparel and signs but, white people don't actually like Donald trump, instead they fucking love the evil shit he is doing.  Republicans don't like Donald trump but they love the destruction and undermining of the United States and the enshrinement of the rightwing agenda of intolerance and oppression into law.  

White people were driven utterly insane by President Obama's two election victories, mostly the second one, as the first victory in 2008 could be chalked up to George W. Bush's evil disastrous administration and a one-off fluke.

But, the second one against the two "wholesome" white bread candidates Romney and Ryan pushed whites into a spiral of insanity in which they demanded the shittiest white MAN alive be nominated for President.  Donnie Dumbass told whites in 2015 he was that shittiest of white men.

So, always understand no one lies Donnie Dumbass.  He's the most unlikable and unliked person in the US.  But... what he did do was allow these despicable, nay deplorable, white people like themselves.  Like themselves for their racism, for their ignorance, for their vile bigotry.  Traitor trump told them their worst impulses and worst aspects were not only right but good.  And so white people for the past decade have reveled in their hatreds and the more you or I or anyone tried to point out Donnie Don't Care crimes, immoral actions, violations of the Constitution, or the error of their ways, the more they said

Let them eat my gold-plated shit,
Traitor trump Antoinette

HA HA HA Triggered!!! Triggered!!!! Triggered!!! Hahahahahaha!  TDS!!!  Haha you woke libtard DEI are so mad!!!  Hahahaha Trump Derangement Syndrome!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

"Go home! Get out. We know our country is better than yours. That's because we filled it with our work ethic and our culture and our values.  You being here only dilutes it for us, those who built it and live it. We don't want you! We don't care if you're offended. Get out! Go home! Go back to fucking Haiti!" - Megyn Kelly - this is why whites and Republicans love traitor trump this racist speech by Megyn Kelly.

And... that's it.  That's the entire appeal to whites, and as allegedly prophesied by LBJ all those years ago the whites are more than willing to empty their pockets for trump.  

Of course, for Republicans, it's a little bit different.  Republicans hate Americans.  You can tell because they always say so.  But, they love Donald trump.  And it's because he's helping them accomplish goals they've dreamed about since Nixon was forced to resign.  First off, Nixon wouldn't resign or even face any criticism in today's America, Just Despicable Vance was correct about that.  But, under Traitor trump Republicans have dismantled the Department of Education, they've subverted the Department of Justice and weaponized it in a manner we haven't seen since the Hoover FBI went after the Black Panther Party in the 1970's and after Martin and Malcolm in the 1960's.  Republicans have also neutered multiple regulatory bodies like the EPA, OSHA, BLM, and opened up the Nation for the rapacious exploitation and despoliation for the rich.  The Republican Party has also undermined Voting Rights and representation across the Nation in a way 1960's Reactionaries could not have dreamed.  So, Republicans are more than willing to let Donnie raid the U.S. Treasury and steal billions, deface various monuments, undermine law & order and start various foreign conflagrations on a syphilis influenced whim because of the fundamental way in which the Republican Party is replacing the Democratic Republic with a Neo-Confederate Fascist Nation.

Secret Agent John Wayne Mullin defends deaths in ICE Custody

 I said a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE… We didn't see things like this happening to the same degree when we froze ICE funding. - Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez

ICE "Officers" have engaged in direct violations of the Constitution, up to and including, illegal extrajudicial killings of innocent people not engaged in unlawful or criminal conduct.

Mark-John-Wayne-I'm-Not-John-J-Rambo-Mullin, who took over for Kristi Noem, because in the fascist playbook you replace your underlings after a while because the people become angry or irritated or shocked at their incompetence, cruelty, or outright thievery.  The new deputy is thus able to continue the same policies until they too become too ridiculous or too embarrassing.

And, now we see ICE is back to violently assaulting and murdering.

But, it does seem no one, not even Senator John Cornpone Kennedy with his voice imitation of actor Pat Buttram,  could be as ridiculous as MarkyMarkJohnWayneMullin, a man who once thought he had the skill set to fast rope into Afghanistan.  Mullin's only other notable Senate accomplishment was being a hold-me-back wannabe tough guy in a Senate hearings who had to be reminded by Senator Bernie Sanders he was no long King of the Bum-Fights.

So it should come as no surprise when brought before a Congressional committee this month, Mullin acted like a lying servile trump toady and pugnacious asshole towards Congresswoman Lauren Underwood.  Mullin even had to have a little stress ball in his hands because of how angry he was being questioned by a black woman.

Because that's what it means to be a rightwing white male in America today; be actively ignorant, be violently stupid, and always be disrespectful towards women, especially women of color.  While constantly lying about everything and showing Traitor trump worshipful fealty by immediately rising up to defend Donnie Dumbass when he's criticized.  In authoritarian regimes, Mullin is one of those idiot treasonous yes-men so sought after and so prized because of the his reflexive desire to heap effusive praise and defend the head fascist.

And what was JohnWayne Mullin attacking Congresswoman Underwood about, the deplorable conditions and unconscionable deaths and mistreatment occurring in ICE detention facilities.

In today's United States Senate, every Republican Senator is more ridiculous, more odious, more deplorable than the next.  In 2021, when President Biden brought an end to the Republican Afghanistan War and occupation debacle after a futile 20 years, Mullin ridiculously tried to sneak in with “Delta [Force] guys” and “special forces”,

Mullin first attempted to enter Afghanistan via Greece, only to be denied permission by the defense department. 

He then reportedly called the US ambassador to Tajikistan with a request to help transport a large amount of cash into the country, saying he would be going on to Afghanistan to rescue a woman and her four children, all US citizens.

Mullin told the embassy he planned to fly to Dushanbe in Tajikistan from Tbilisi in Georgia, then to rent a helicopter. The embassy turned him down. Officials told the Post Mullin threatened the US ambassador, John Mark Pommersheim.

Mullin told Fox News: “Unfortunately, the ambassador, Pommersheim, was not helpful at all.”

 What a fucking asshole. I am certain in private Mullin claims if only he and his merc buddies had been allowed in they would have turned the tide in Afghanistan. But, Mullin lying about himself doing #extraordinarythings and his chances of coming home being "50-50" are the height of white male culture in the United States.

When you stare too long into the Reflecting Pool...

"It is legitimate! I saw it!  I was there.  I saw it all!"

So, once again the United States is getting a lesson about Donnie's slap-dash, slip-shod, shit-ass building methods which New Yorkers knew decades ago. 

Traitor trump, besides being a rapist thief, who is undermining the United States, destroying Law&Order, robbing the U.S. Treasury and unraveling the Constitution and undoing 250 years of Americans trying to make the United States a more perfect Union, is also a cheap and tawdry mafioso-style construction conman.

So, everyone now knows the sleazy Donald gave a no-bid contract to his cartoonishly scummy neighbor who proceeded to do such a shoddy and stupid non-environmentally sound job that within weeks of coating the bottom of the pool in polyurethane liner the reflecting pool started to turn into a fetid swamp.  So, as he fucks America over again traitor trump turned to his ultimate defense lying.

But, it really should be a bigger story the President of the United States is a shameless unabashed liar;

“I saw it. They cut it. They cut it very violently," Trump said. "The same thing with the floor. They cut it and then they lifted it. They pulled it. And that's what it is.”

There are several things at play here;

1. First, the reason Traitor trump has latched onto this claim of someone cutting the coating is during one of his inane press conferences in May he went on one of his rambling verbal weaves in which he claimed the paint job was too manly and too tough to cut with a knife.  So, the idea of his pool being damaged by being cut is deeply rooted in his narcissists brain, and once Donnie Dumbass has some idea in there, he clings to it and no amount of proof or impossibility will dislodge it from his emotionally dysregulated brain.
2. Because his claim someone cut the coating on the floor of the Reflecting Pool is absolutely impossible.  It is not a thing to be cut with a "box cutter" or linoleum knife.  Nor could someone wade into the pool and casually slice it for hundreds of feet.  But, in trumpian fashion, as he always does his lie about the vandalism grew first from a 250 foot gash then a few days later to 300 feet and finally to 350 foot long cut coupled with dumping some pollutants into the pool.  The truth is the polyurethane coating was not the correct material for the Reflecting Pool but for Donnie Don't Care his gauche and gaudy Casino conman ideal of a classy is a chemically saturated crystal clear pool to overawe the rubes.  But, this doesn't matter to the MAGA base because trump knows all he has to say is he did a perfect and great job and conservatives gleefully nod along.
3. Traitor trump's cult absolutely believes his fact-free claims that "vandals" damaged the Reflecting Pool.  And if you think this can absolutely not be true, then understand what does MAGA claiming to believe it's true give them license to do?  Traitor trump's order to arrest of innocent people and accuse them of damaging the Reflecting Pool show you what he, his criminal cabal, and conservatives yearn to do writ large.
4. Donnie Dumbass, found out President Obama had overseen a renovation of the Reflecting Pool so when Donnie announced the Reflecting Pool contract he peppered it will all his phrases of faux masculinity, and used it as a way to slander President Obama (this is how he slyly calls President Obama the N-word).  When things went badly as they always do since everything traitor trump touches turns to shit Donnie turned to the MAGA 3-step,
5. One) Take All Credit (especially for things you didn't do, Two) Pass All Blame (especially for things you did do), Three) Declare Greatness (or victory in Iran).

Historically, when a body of water defied an absolute ruler that ruler had the water whipped for insolence. But, Donnie knows he can whip President Obama for trump's failures and lies and white people in America will greedily agree.  Just ignore trump's giant bulk being driven across the drained reflecting pool because he can't walk 2000 feet.

But understand MAGA is just a variation on time-worn fascism. Fascists inherit a working bureaucracy and then run it into the ground via thievery and appointing partisan ideologues, grifting con-artists, and imbecilic yes-men.  And when things don't work out?  Why you just erect drapes and fences to hide the damage you've done, place armed guards around the area to imitate and arrest innocent people, allege a vast criminal conspiracy, and ignore environmental laws and just dump the hydrogen peroxide laden algae pool water straight into the sewer.  After all who is going to cite the Traitor trump administration for that violation the EPA?

Anyway it's not Alge's fault!
So stop blaming him

Just as with his Iran debacle, his gestapho goons at ICE violating the Constitution, brutalizing innocent people and murdering Americans, we are witnessing Traitor trump's conflict with reality. And when reality doesn't conform with his lies, he invents whole easily disprovable fables, and massive conspiracies (like Antifa) and lies constantly. But, since most Americans are removed from he immediate impact of his lies, fables, and failures they can go along with his bullshit and after all there's always lying MAGA sycophants, rightwing propaganda outlets and their social media algorithms to assure them this is Biden or Obama's fault.

Bored of War & Peace 18: Traitor trump’s Memorandum of Understanding that the US is surrendering to Iran at Versailles

“Our surrender is signed.
I signed our surrender in Versailles.
Just signed our surrender.”

"Qatar is the closest to Iran, physically. With other countries, I noticed they had to travel about 45 minutes to get there. With you, you could walk right across the border."

There's no land border between Iran and Qatar. They're separated by the Persian Gulf.  But, at this point Donnie Don't Care was so bored and so frustrated with Iran he was willing to take any "deal", claim his "victory", and walk away.

Donnie Dumbass started an "excursion" against Iran and lost.  That's the headline.  That's the unescapable historical conclusion.  That's the result of his ignorant ass being negged into bombing Iran in conjunction with Israel War Criminals and having absolutely no plan, no diplomatic ability, and no other idea than to threaten more bombings.

This was a total strategic defeat for the United States capped off by Dumbass Donnie signing the surrender document at Versailles while French President Emmanuel Macron smirked and laughed at trump's boorish and obvious ignorance.

But, don't expect the US mainstream media to cover the reality of the fiasco in Iran in anyway other than Glorious Donald did it Again!  Another War Won!  Another War Stopped!  Statesmanship like you've never seen before!!!

Certainly, independent journalists like Greg Sargent at The New Republic or Heather Digby Parton at Salon and elsewhere will accurately describe this debacle of a embarrassing failure but, the corporate media is going to rush to defend Donnie and obscure the details and rush to move onto Traitor trump's next astounding victory. 

Obviously, Traitor trump himself will claim and is already claiming repeatedly he won an enormous unheard-of victory and did something no one else could have done and is the greatest President, certainly had the greatest year and a half, of anyone in the history of Presidents and the Republicans will all nod along and clap and continue clapping harder and harder in a grotesque simulacrum of a Stalinist speech.

Plus, Traitor trump got to call President Obama, a "stupid son of a bitch" and claim the Iranians said it.  Don't ask who; you wouldn't know them.  Just like everything else Traitor trump and his treasonous cabal of criminal co-conspirators claimed all along with Iran, just Trust Us Bro! 

But, the US corporate media loves trump and wants him and the Republican fascist agenda to succeed.  I will never forget and never forgive them for enthusiastically adopting Traitor trump's lies and bullshit about President Biden ending the shameful 20 year occupation of Afghanistan.

The US corporate media torpedoed Joe repeatedly and vowed to destroy his Presidency and his chances at a second term in office for him ending the occupation of Afghanistan.  Not once and not repeatedly did these same media personalities write anything about Traitor trump's unlawful military action with Iran, nor it's conduct, nor it's shameful conclusion, and Donnie's total and utter surrender.  What did Donnie's "excursion" accomplish?  He killed an elderly ruler, he murdered some school children, he hardened the Iranian regime's control and resolve.

And as always in the coming years, when the United States reaps the whirlwind for it's actions, Republicans and their media allies will simply ignore what they've sown and blame a Democratic President or Democratic Congressmen and Senators for their Republican perfidy.

So... what's next?

I think trump, Just Despicable Vance, the trump spawn, and other Republicans are going to start another vile push to steal or force the UN to give Donnie Greenland.  While Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham push for an invasion of Cuba.  Of course, Hegseth will continue to blow up fishermen in the Caribbean Sea, Pacific Ocean, and elsewhere.  But, no doubt as gas prices begin to drop, conservatives will claim Iran was a complete success for Traitor trump ha ha ha ha suck it libtards.

One of the cute tricks Republicans have mastered is to constantly rotate their cast of secondary fascists so when one becomes enough of a liability (I know that hardly seems possible in the current Trumpublican Party) a new one is elevated and the criminality continues without interruption.

Gregory Bovino is gone but Tom Homan issues the same pronouncements.  Krisiti Noem has disappeared into the vat of filler she uses for her face but, Secret Agent Mark Wayne is ready to commit the same crimes.  

There is a seemingly endless parade of these low-light conservative thugs and traitors available for the Republican Party to elevate above their head who then take it upon themselves to issue all manner of illegal orders, unlawful edicts, and immoral or unethical memorandum.

But, more disconcerting than these high-profile, made for rightwing tv fascists are the everyday bureaucrats and seemingly hard-working non-partisan officials who so willing or so easily allow themselves to slip into authoritarian mindset and set aside their ethical guidelines and abuse their authority without prompting, prodding, or provocation.

The Broadview 6 case clearly illustrates how ready some Americans are to get in line, just follow orders (even ones they know are unethical or outright illegal), to curry favor, and abet fascism;

Lawyers for the “Broadview Six” late Tuesday asked a federal judge to appoint special counsel to investigate alleged wrongdoing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office — and possibly prosecute for contempt of court.

The 33-page motion said the investigation should focus on prosecutors’ conduct “during the grand jury proceedings and the ensuing cover-up before this court” and should include everyone who touched the case, including U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros, his top deputies, and his supervisors at the Department of Justice.

“Indeed, these steps must be taken in large part because of what appears to be a determined effort to blame a single prosecutor when the misconduct now known…runs much deeper and indeed to the highest levels of the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office and likely to the Department of Justice in Washington D.C.,” the motion stated.

The motion warned U.S. District Judge April Perry that if a special prosecutor was not able to dig deeper, blame for the collapse of the Broadview Six case would be laid on a single scapegoat, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg, which would be “a convenient outcome for those who are eager to turn the page.”

As a police officer I testified before a Grand Jury several times, I can not imagine a State's Attorney wantonly or willfully giving false or misleading instructions to the Grand Jury or trying to engage in legerdemain of telling the Grand Jurors, 'Trust me Bro!'  But, as detailed by the lawyers for innocent Broadview 6 this wasn't just some individual rogue "bad apple" but a coordinated, and far-reaching conspiracy.

This is far from the only incident of prosecutorial misconduct, most of which have fortunately been stopped by judges willing to buck the fascist tide and rule against the State.  Of course, consistent defeats in court haven't stopped the Traitor trump underlings from pushing to make splashy arrests knowing their brainwashed white maga drones equate arrest with absolute guilt (unless the arrestee is a Jan6er or elected Republican pedophile).

It isn't called "Facebook" anymore, it's Meta and
since the US Government got the terminology wrong
their argument is invalid.

Therefore, in order to muddy the waters about the illegal actions by Department of Justice across the Nation but, especially in Minnesota, which resulted in the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti as well as countless constitutional violations and unlawful acts under the color of law, the treasonous Republican Department of Homeland Terrorism arrested 15 apparent members of the Direct Action Minnesota alleging their Facebook posts, statements, and meetings constituted a conspiracy.

Prosecutors say the 15 are members and associates of the protest group Direct Action Minnesota, which they describe as an antifa — or antifascist — affinity group. Antifa is an umbrella term describing any far-left-leaning militant groups and is not a singular entity. They consist of groups that resist fascists and neo-Nazis, especially at demonstrations. 

The indictment itself does not allege any specific acts of violence. Rosen said that whether or not they caused bodily harm isn’t the measure of whether they committed a serious crime.  

He played video from Kyle Wagner where he allegedly said, “we’re not talking about peaceful protest anymore” and urged people to “get your f---ing guns and stop these f---ing people.”

Eternal Vigilance wasn't just a catchy phrase by Thomas Jefferson because understand the treasonous and increasingly unlawful Republican Party sees no reason not to use the Department of Injustice to torment, harass, and arrest political opposition just as their ICE goons engage in wanton unlawful use of force and unconstitutional searches and seizures.

Understand this is happening because almost every Republicans today believes they will suffer no repercussions for engaging in criminality.  I hope they are wrong and enough Americans have the stomach to make them pay for what they've done.

Happy Birthday Donnie The Dumbfather. Most people don't know it has a B. But it does have an AL and a G...

Barely Ambulatory

"I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody." - Donnie Don't Care doesn't and never did give a shit about anyone but himself, with the sole exception of his daughter Ivanka when he used to molest her as a child.  

However, Donnie Dum(B)ass does love something else apparently, "You know what I really love? I love the inflation!  You know why?  I can say it now, you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil from Iran."

It should have been obvious from demented Donnie's previous statements that stealing oil from Iran (and Venezuela) was his primary mover.  After all Traitor trump's biggest complaint about the Iraq War wasn't the lies, false pretenses, or even post hoc Nation-building bullshit; no it was that the United States didn't steal every last drop of "liquid gold".

What did this stupid attack on Iran accomplish?  It sure would be nice if the corporate media would talk about how pathetic, counter-productive and down right idiotic this "War" was and could be again!  Because guess what?  The current flimsy MOU is not in anyway a "Peace Deal" or even a "ceasefire" but merely a plan to negotiate further and even more pathetically it could be scuttled by Israel at any moment and, in fact, Israeli officials have stated as much,

“Israel is not subordinate to the United States. We are an independent and sovereign country.  We are not partners to this agreement, which does not safeguard our security. We must not withdraw from any territory [in Lebanon] that our fighters have captured.” - National Security Minister Ben Gvir.

Remember!
It's not flag desecration
when a fat slimy UFC 
fighter wears it as a
bandana because he called
Michelle Obama a Man

Of course, U.S. media is eager to give Traitor trump a big win but, Donnie don't care because he was "busy" enjoying his birthday bash, gladiators, motocross, BudLight, and the Military laid out before him.

There is only so much Republican lies and garbage one can listen to especially Traitor trump's stupid voice and non-stop stream of total bullshit.  But, I never expected the American Establishment and so-called 4th Estate to simply pretend the stark reality of what's staring at them in the face isn't happening.

The United States as you remember it from just a few years ago is long gone.  And it's not coming back.  

Republicans hate America.  The goal of the Republican Party, their Billionaire backers, and their complicit corporate media allies is to bring America back to its' founding roots;  a return to a Plantation based society;  that is the crux of Make America Great Again.  Republicans seek nothing less than to re-institute slavery and re-create the Oligarchy of the Founding Fathers.

I've postulated before what the rich of this Nation yearn for is a United States modeled after the Holy Roman Empire.  One in which the President is chosen by a select few and the assets, land, wealth of the land is owned and exploited by the very few while the majority of Americans toil away in feudal serfdom and immigrants are treated little better than slaves.

And the kicker is white people have convinced themselves they won't be the slaves.  Traitor trump isn't the cause of all this, he's just the bombastic boisterous showman who entertains the masses of white people and Billionaires are more than willing to let him loot the U.S. Treasury and start any number of worldwide conflagrations because in the end Republicans will help their Billionaire owners usher in an end to the American dream and reduce Americans into penury and perpetual wage slavery. 

Additional:

The reflecting pool debacle is so illustrative of the ignorance and idiocy of Traitor trump and his loyal sycophants.  The reflecting pool isn't some enclosed gaudy swimming pool but a garden feature, built on reclaimed marshland and fed by the Potomac River filtered through the man-made tidal basin.  It was designed to be a pond but since it had no fountain it needed a massive bubbler system to deepwater moving and to keep it from stagnating.  Coating the concrete lining with a polyurethane paint keeps the water from filtering and as it contains over 7,000,000 galloons of water a couple of jugs of hydrogen peroxide won't affect it.

But Donnie The Dumbfather enjoyed claiming President Obama is an N-Word, Owning the Libs, and engaging in a literal dick measuring contest. 

Bored of War & Peace 17: Traitor trump Surrenders and the United States lose again

    After agreeing with the bloody war criminals in Israel to attack Iran, Traitor trump has spent the last 100 days not knowing what to do about Iran after the initial bombing (including the unlawful bombing and slaughter of over 100 children in the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School - a war crime which every US media outlet has sought to excuse as always) Donnie Don't Care has relied on his tried-and-true playbook; threaten and troll to get his adversary to throw their hands up and give in.  

This has served him throughout his entire life.  And when it didn't work;  Child Rapist Donnie could always rely on someone else to Deus Ex Machina him out of trouble. 

Unfortunately, in this "excursion", Iran had no reason to surrender nor to negotiate in almost anyway with US.  So since Donnie Dumbass cut off his diplomatic options with his maximalist dumbassery and with no intent to attempt any international coalition to curb Iran, he had to continue to rely on aerial bombing campaigns.  While also engaging in corporate media bullshit of continually claiming a negotiated peace deal was right around the corner, a bullshit lie he officially trotted out 40 times and to which Republicans repeated thousands of times themselves over every media platform their complicit corporate media allies invited them on.

And every time Donnie Don't Care claimed the Pax Trumpublica was at hand the US Media gushed and fawned and declared he was another Pericles or Churchill and this was the greatest maneuver of statesmanship in modern history.

And every time it didn't come to pass, the complicit media simply pretended nothing bad was happening and all was for the best in this best of all worlds. 

Nonetheless, desperate to get some kind of deal so he can claim to have ended the 47 year War with Iran Kiddie Raping Donnie has apparently agreed to give $300 Billion dollars to the Iranian Government.  There's a bunch of other bullshit which is faint imitation of President Obama's masterful JCPOA deal in 2015.  The deal you'll remember a treasonous group of 47 Republican Senators sent a separate official letter to the Iranian government in which they VOWED TO NEVER HONOR THE TREATY whilst every single Republican and right-winger called it SURRENDER AND APPEASEMENT.

If the Iranians were smart they'd make sure all that money was in their hands before agreeing to any deal with a notorious conman and child rapist.  Especially, since Israel is not going to abide by any agreement which limits their ability to wantonly commit war crimes in Lebanon.

Bored of War & Peace 16: Desperate Donnie's Desire to Surrender to Iran Unconditionally to get another "Win"

At least Donnie Dumbass didn't beg
Israel and Iran to stop to make him look good

May we never see another War! for in my Opinion there never was a good War, or a bad Peace. - Ben Franklin to Josiah Quincy Sr (Sept. 11, 1783)

So, before Traitor trump declared Iran "attacked" and shot down an Apache Helicopter necessitating a U.S. Military response (of some sort), Donnie Don't Care was busy claiming, yet again, Peace Negotiations are going great and a Ceasefire Deal is, yet again, right around the corner.

Now, this is pure bullshit but it wouldn't be so galling if the U.S. corporate press didn't breathlessly and uncritically regurgitate PEACE IS AT HAND! and hail Donnie's truth social burps in-between his naps as god-tier level statesmanship every time he does it.

Ever since, Bloody Bibi negged Traitor trump into a joint Israeli-U.S. illegal war, CNN counted the number of times he's claimed Iran is defeated, ready to deal, and a ceasefire is right around the corner;

Including the period before the ceasefire, he’s done it at least 38 times. That’s the number of times he’s said directly — in social media posts, public appearances and phone calls with the media — that a deal was nigh or claimed Iran was desperate to cut one. 

The United States is controlled by an emotionally dysregulated child rapist and his cabal of criminal co-conspirators, most of whom are drunk all day long.

Obviously the worst thing about the Traitor trump administration is the wanton and cruel murders they committed abroad and at home.

But, these things would never have been possible without a wholly compromised Republican Party and a completely complicit and compliant U.S. corporate media.

We are now over 100 days of this stupid, illegal, immoral and unnecessary war.  Yet, I continue to not see major media calling this a boondoggle or a quagmire or a failure or any of the appellations they were so eager, so ready, and so giddy to slag President Biden with for ending the useless 20 years of war and occupation of Afghanistan,

“So, people don’t like it when you say, ‘Oh, do you know you’ve lost 13.’ We’ve lost, in two major wars — we took over Venezuela, we essentially took over Iran — and we’ve lost, so far, 13 people. Somebody else would’ve lost 100,000 people, OK?  But I get a kick when I look at somebody on television, ’He’s lost 13 people. I lost 13 people. They lost 13 people leaving an airport. Obama. Thirteen very good people that I got to know their families.”

Hahaha American deaths under Traitor trump give him a "kick" and thanks Media allies for not covering my disastrous Afghan policy and putting the blame onto Obama or Biden!  Who knows!  Who cares!  Blaming the Democrats for Republican perfidy is the American Way!  The way the corporate media aided Traitor trump in pushing the lies and slander around the Afghanistan withdrawal highlighted a fundamental truth about the state of journalism in the United States;  most media people love trump and want him to win and be successful in the Republican Party's bid to overthrow the Democratic Republic and replace it with the nascent Fascist Neo-Confederate regime we are ruled by today, those who don't love him are either willing to pretend this isn't happening because it would mean admitting their complicity or powerlessness or are going along because their billionaire owners demand it.

As a for instance; the legal timetable for the War Power Resolution of 1973 came... and simply went...  And all Squeaker of the House Porno Mike could muster was, 

“We are not at war.”

Can't have a War Resolution Act vote because we're not at War as the Republicans know their voting base doesn't care what Trump does as long as he's #OwningTheLibs.

The U.S. media nodded sagely and said, "Okay.  Well that's that then.  Good enough for us" and have not asked another question about the constitutionality of Traitor trump's illegal overseas military actions.

It's the same way dozing Donnie falls asleep at every important cabinet meeting and appears every other day with giant ugly bruising all over his hands and the corporate media who couldn't help but write multiple columns every day about HRC being on death's door or President Joe Biden is old, simply don't care to even ask a single question about trump's health.

So, every time Child Rapist Donnie makes some barely intelligible comment about the War being Over, and the markets react, someone with inside knowledge in the Traitor trump White House makes a financial killing using their access to insider trading.

ART OF THE DEAL!!!
