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

Mark-John-Wayne-I'm-Not-John-J-Rambo-Mullin, who took over for Kristi Noem, because in the fascist playbook you replace your deputies after a while because the people become accustomed 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.

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 week, 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.

The Broadview 6 case of Prosecutorial Misconduct illustrates the Coming Fascist Escalation (The DAMN 15 included)

The latest 15 patriots arrested by the
Fascist Criminal Trump administration

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!!!

Trump Snooze, Knicks Lose, New York Boos

Go ahead Mock Me!  Laugh!!!  One day I will laugh at you...  

NEW YORK — In the middle of the national anthem, moments before the first NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden in 27 years, President Donald J. Trump stood at attention in his suite, surrounded by bulletproof glass, and was roundly booed by his fellow New Yorkers as he was shown on the overhanging video board.        

Donnie Don't Care loves going to high profile New York events to demonstrate his dominance.  Traitor trump's entire life is one of grievance and resentment at the people of New York and the elite class who treated him for decades like their gauche uncouth scummy slumlord he is.

Well, now they can't ignore him.  Now they can't deny him entry.  Now they have move out of his way.  Now they have to bow and scrape for him.  And if they don't?  Well he's President with a massive rightwing propaganda machine and a compliant and complicit corporate media behind him;

Asked later by a reporter what he thought of the reception he got from Knicks fans, Trump said, “I thought great. I mean, I thought it was amazing, actually. You mean when they have the camera on me?”

“It was I think uh mostly cheers. It was uh loud, and yeah it was very enthusiastic,” he said.

Donald J trump is a giant loser who tired of being treated like a loser launched the most successful political career in American politics.  Certainly, in post WW2 American politics.  But, he's only been able to look further because he stood on the shoulders of giant Republican bigots, traitors, thieves, racists, and criminals who came before him and spent the last 50 years since Nixon was forced to resign determining they would never put the Nation ahead of their Party ever again.

Additional:

"If you grew up in New York, you knew he was an asshole and a liar from day one.  He is a con man, he is a narcissist, and he is a psychopath, if you ask me." -  Rosie O'Donnell states what every New Yorker always knew about Traitor trump.

The White Supremacist Court Strikes Again!

If voting ever changed anything, they'd make it illegal... - Emma Goldman, it's funny how Anarchists always seem to empower Fascists...

Voting has always been a thorn in the side of the Republican Party effort to destroy the United States of America and replace it with a Neo-Conferderate Nation State built upon the twin pillars of White Power and Evangelical Zealotry.  
Enter the Supremacist Court and the elimination of the Voting Rights Act

John Roberts entire Raison d'être has been to eliminate the Voting Rights Act and to return America to the Jim Crow Era.

As a member of Gen X my first election I could vote in was 1992.  What I recall from the Republican efforts of the 1980s was voting was for squares.  Voting was for try hards.  Voting didn't matter.  Don't Vote it only Encourages the Bastards.  All the while elected Republicans have aggressively chosen to make voting harder at every opportunity.

Of course, while the general trend of whites voting Republican began in response to the now-defunct Voting Rights Act of 1965, after President Barack Obama's two election victories white people, overwhelmingly men but also women, went totally insane.  In response to President Obama's calm intelligence, reserved dignity, clear family values, white people demanded the chance to vote for the shittiest most despicable white man possible;  Donald J. trump stepped forward and declared I... AM... that Shittiest of White Men!

While Traitor trump indisputably galvanized and energized white bigotry and insanity he just came in at the most opportune moment to pluck the vile poisonous fruit of the toxic rightwing racist tree of white grievances which Republicans had cultivated for decades.

2020 was the first Presidential election since 1968 where over 60% of the eligible voters cast ballots.  We lost 5% off the 2020 percentage in 2024, as Republican controlled statehouses, and rightwing courts threw up every roadblock, removed access to ballots, early voting, and made it harder and harder to vote.  While Republican complicit corporate media allies took every opportunity to depress voter turnout and lie that Traitor trump and the treasonous Republicans were the better choice for grocery bills, gas prices, and work peace, while continually telling voters Democrats were lyin' about Project 2025, Trump's deportation schemes, and the madness of MAGA delusions once in power.

The Supreme Sinister Six

So now the White Supremacist Court has delivered the coup de grâce to the Voting Rights Act, Republican controlled states are taking extraordinary measures to ensure everyone of their federal districts is cracked and packed to ensure white voters get to pick Republican whites.  This isn't gerrymandering its' more akin the fracking the districts;

In Louisiana, Secretary of State Nancy Landry certified an emergency under state law, while Governor Jeff Landry issued an executive order suspending the May 16 and June 27 U.S. House primaries. The Legislature is reviewing options for a new map.

Gov. Tate Reeves has called lawmakers back to Jackson for a special legislative session on May 20 to debate redrawing Mississippi’s three state Supreme Court districts. It’s unclear how lawmakers will redraw the districts, but several legislators predict they will be redrawn to make them whiter and dilute Black voting strength. 

When House members meet this month for a special session to redraw state Supreme Court districts, they will convene in the Old Capitol building, where Mississippi lawmakers once implemented Jim Crow and voted to secede from the Union over slavery.

Republican Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey called legislators back to Montgomery starting Monday to approve contingency plans for special primary elections in hopes the Supreme Court will let the state switch congressional maps ahead of the November midterms. It's a move that Republican legislative leaders said would "give our state a fighting chance to send seven Republican members to Congress." The seven-member delegation currently has two Democrats.

In Tennessee, Republican Gov. Bill Lee also announced a special session starting Tuesday for the GOP-controlled Legislature to break up the state's one Democratic-held House district, centered on the majority-Black city of Memphis.

Hilariously, every single elected black Republican Congressman will be out of office in the next Congress; although rightwingers will still have Senator Tim Scott to point to in their defense.  Tim Scott has taken to his new role as a shameless Republican by lying about the Price of Gas by invoking 1984 and claiming trump and Republicans continue to lower the price of gas.

It seems clear Republicans believe they have with AI-assisted voter data and mathematical models to ensure they will never suffer an election defeat in their fracked congressional districts, and Republicans throughout the federal and state level governments absolutely believe they will never suffer any reprisals for their evil actions.

Perhaps, they are correct.  These mid-term 2026 elections will provide a clue as the whether Republicans Project 2025 efforts to remake the United States into a Neo-Confederate state built upon the pillars of fascist repression and malicious prosectuion at home and capricious war crimes abroad will be successful. 

The Death of Donald J. trump (False Flag or Not)

    Whilst the Republican effort at fundamentally destroying the United States of America and replacing it with a thinly-disguised Fascist Cult of Personality Autocracy the one thing protecting us from them right now is Republicans are natural cowards.

All the smirks and smiles and self-congratulations
After they pulled another STAGED FALSE FLAG

This was vividly demonstrated by the FALSE FLAG FAKE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT at the White House Correspondents Dinner a few days ago.  Understand "false flags" and the immediate claim that any shooting or any incident in America is a "false flag" is the weapon of the enemy;  and We, the People will not get very far attempting to turn the rhetorical weapons of the Fash against them.  However, in this time of the destruction of every norm, rule, code, belief, and law and the enshrinement of what Susan Jacoby called "The American Age of UnReason", we must use everything to stop the Destruction of the Nation by the Forces of Trumpism.

So, while I don't believe the shooting was staged by Traitor trump to get him his ballroom, or by any of his underlings the details released by the Republican Party and the Corporate Media about the incident involving Cole Thomas Allen are getting steadily and quietly walked back after the Media and Republicans immediately took to every platform to scream Leftist with Trump Derangement Syndrome Assassination Attempt.  Secret Service Shot!  Almost tried to kill Trump and the entire cabinet.

That's all bullshit.  Cole Thomas Allen didn't fire a single shot.  That's why Drunken Jeanne Pirro had to say on Faux News this morning, "I don't think there's any question but that Cole Allen was intending to fire that Mossberg."  He wasn't anywhere near Traitor trump.  Everything rightwing news is telling you about this incident is rife with rightwing lies.  As always.

But, that won't stop Republicans from trying to use the incident to ratchet up their agenda of oppression, intolerance, and destruction of the American Dream.  As we now enter the phase when the Fascists demand we the people shut up.

They’ve been saying comply or die for a long time.

But, understand Republicans don't care because embracing Trumpism has given them a level of power and control they've not had since Ronnie Raygun.   They've openly and shamelessly jettisoned everything they claimed to believe in;  the Republican Party is nothing more than bad faith scold, disingenuous trolls, drunks, bigots, rapists, thieves, and traitors.

So they are going to ride on the disgusting wave of Trumpism as long as possible regardless of what megalomaniacal self-enrichment or self-aggrandizement scheme he does.  Of course, even during Ronnie Raygun's disastrous and treasonous Presidency everything Traitor trump is doing would easily have been recognized and classified as a move by an Authoritarian Dictatorship.  The Corporate Media would also have called it as such, instead of being a willing and complicit collaborator in Traitor trump fascist regime.

After Traitor trump stuck his ugly visage on National Park Pass and Americans began to customize their passes the The Department of the Interior instructed the National Park Service to void any park passes which have been "defaced";

The National Park Service has updated its policy to discourage visitors from defacing a picture of President Trump on this year's pass. 

The National Park Service card policy was updated this week to say that passes may no longer be valid if they've been "defaced or altered." The change, which was revealed in an internal email to National Park Service staff obtained by SFGATE, comes just as the sticker movement has gained traction across social media.

Remember before this Traitor trump had giant banners of his fucking face hung outside the Department of Justice and now he's going to release a special commemorative U.S. Passport with his picture inside?

And make no mistake this insane Ballroom he's fixated upon, besides being a way for him to steal $400 million form the US treasury and American people, is going to be his Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, coated in tacky gold leaf and marble and inscribed with trump everywhere.

Traitor trump wants to be a King.  He's plastering his scowling visage and fucking traitor's name everywhere he can, but he's being aided by that party of scum-sucking fascists the Republicans as well, as they seek to enshrine him with all that talk about Mount Rushmore or renaming the boundary waters as the Trump Special Economic Zone or even the ha-ha it's just a joke libtard... or is it? renaming the Strait of Hormuz the Strait of Trump...

It's irrefutable that by this point the Founding Fathers, would have tarred and feathered trump for his actions, but because of the election of President Barack Obama a good number of white men and women went insane and said find us the shittiest white man in America so that we may render worship upon him in a manner of all the lies we ascribe to PBO.

And Traitor trump still stinging from being insulted by PBO at the White House Correspondents Dinner said, I am that Shittiest White Man you Seek!

When Donnie Don't Care about the Iran War No More posted An entire civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again, understand he was talking about the United States of America.  

Because the Nation you knew or thought you knew is long gone now; that doesn't mean we can't rebuild after Child Rapist DonOld the First finally leaves the office (in a pine box because he ain't leaving in 2029) it's important we not kid ourselves about the long hard slog ahead of us.

Bored of War and Peace 15: Draft Dodging Donnie claims he'd have won Vietnam War as Iran War reaches 60 days

“Venezuela, I took it over in 45 minutes. It was basically 45 minutes — by the way, a very strong military country and we took it over in a day — let's be nice — but we basically took it over in 45 minutes."- So... why is Heroic Donnie charging one of "his" warfighters G.K. Van Dyke for using classified intelligence to make a winning bet on removing Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro on Polymarket? After all that's what Traitor trump does everyday as he uses the Federal Government to enrich himself, his family, and his co-conspirators.

    Donald Traitor trump is a deranged, emotionally dysregulated lunatic and his MAGA cult are reaching the levels of delusion, psychosis, and collective narcissism that they have no problem ascribing miraculous and fantastical to his semi-divine touch.

For example, here is Addison McDowell, a smooth-bodied, wide-waisted, expansive derrière Republican CongressMan whose clearly never done a day's labor, other than to repeat the lies whenever called upon to appear in the media, decked out in the trump uniform of bright blue suit and red tie,

Bloated Smooth-Bodied Bloodsucker

"Look, let's let him do his thing.  He's the best negotiator to ever live.  And so I-I'm excited to see what he can turn out, uh, from that.  Look you got him already saving these people in Iran.  They're slaves and they're going to be murdered.  Look their lives are being saved because President trump did what no President could do in 40 years and so many of my democrat colleagues... it doesn't matter what it is they hate trump so much they've broken - he's broken their brains and uh and it doesn't matter what it is they're going to fight him even when he very well might be leading us to world peace."

Childish nonsense.  Pure fantasy.  Utterly and frighteningly delusional.  The kind of slavish devotion to an erstwhile God-King which the Founding Fathers viewed as anathema to this whole Nation.  And sadly, there is no shortage of these worthless drones, literally wearing the same clothes as their Dear Leader.  But, did you expect anything other than cult-like devotion from a backwoods snake-handler from North Carolina like Addison McDowell?  (The McDowell family like bloated fat leeches have attached themselves to the Treasonous trump family.)

But, good ole Addy McDowell is in Congress and today marks 60 days since Traitor trump decided to embarrass the Nation and the American People by listening to Bloody Bibi Netanyahu and agree to a joint War against Iran.

Contrary to the last 3 Presidents who all rightly ignored the Zionist calls for an unprovoked War, trump and his cabal proudly boast about their involvement.  And in keeping with their non-stop blatant bad faith, Republicans continue with the rhetoric of trump didn't start any wars he's finishing them!

And, unfortunately, as we have seen over and over again, these kinds of faux masculine jingoistic soundbites appeal to the average Republican Voter, who agrees that trump didn't start the Iran War and we've already won anyway...

Which leads us back to the the War Powers Act of 1973, which dictates after 60 days of emergency military operations the President must either request Congressional approval for continued warfare or announce a withdrawal to be accomplished within another 30 days. This is why Traitor trump has been so frantic to get a "deal" with Iran so he can Declare Victory and award himself a Triumph and get back to the needed Fascist reforms at home, like we labelling ICE into NICE, and stealing $400 million dollars from the American people for his so-called "ballroom".

But, I don't think there is anyway Mike Johnson or John Thune let an Iran War resolution vote come to the floor of the House or Senate because they don't want their squishy Republicans to be put on record voting for War yet again.  It would  ruin their Anti-War Rhetoric.

"When it's over, and it will end, when it's over— You know, they want it to be over immediately," Trump said to CNBC about his illegal Iran War. "And I just looked at a little chart, World War I, four years and three months, World War II, six years, Korean War, three years, Vietnam, 19 years, Iraq, eight years. I'm five months, okay? Five months."  

"I would have won Vietnam very quickly," he rambled on. "I would have— If I were president, I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time that we won, because essentially, we've won here, okay? I mean, people can play games."

I sincerely hope all the Vietnam War Veterans who have surrendered their honor and voted for trump 3 times are physically and emotionally devastated by this.  Likewise, I hope the same for all the Iraq and Afghan Veterans too.

Service members and Veterans have always been nothing more than a rhetorical cudgel for Republicans to use to Bash the Left and to help advance the rightwing agenda of murder, intolerance, bigotry, and adulation of the rich.  And with the compliant and complicit corporate media defending them, Republicans have always known thy can be lauded for saying they "support the troops" whilst their every action undercuts and undermines them.

Draft-Dodging Donnie is a dignity wraith.  His one redeeming feature is how he utterly and thoroughly insults, debases, and eventually betrays his most ardent and loyal supporters.  Although yes sadly, I know he pardoned his paramilitary terrorist army of Jan6th en masse, although some of those child raping traitors are back behind bars.

Now, as per their official policy of Fuck Veterans, Republicans and the Department of War have reclassified injuries sustained during the past 59 days,  

On the day the ceasefire between the Trump administration and Iran took effect, the tally of U.S. dead and wounded was 385. Despite a pause in hostilities, the number had slowly risen to 428 on Monday, according to Pentagon statistics. Yet on Tuesday, the number of wounded-in-action troops declined by 15 troops without public comment from the War Department, dropping the total to 413. The count held steady on Wednesday, except for one public War Department tally that put the “grand total” of wounded and dead at 411.

Besides the giant lie of the Iran War having been "won" as Donnie Don't Care declares Victory daily, the Pentagon is lying about Iranian attacks on bases and soldiers in theater as well.  Certainly, future Republican officials will enjoy taking away healthcare and service for future Iran "War" Veterans in the same way the current and past Republicans have enjoyed slashing Veterans care.

So, good luck to anyone serving right now.  Traitor trump doesn't give a shit about you.  Whiskey Pete Haguseth doesn't give a shit about you.  Squeaker of the House Porno Mike Johnson doesn't give a shit about you.  And I very much doubt Johnson is going to put a war resolutions vote today or tomorrow, instead Republicans will continue to claim the War is Won.  Trump is a Peacemaker.  The Strait of Hormuz is Open and even if it isn't we don't need it.  Gas is cheap!  America is beloved and respected around the world like never before and all the other Negging and Gas-Lighting they've adopted as their official policy to utterly destroy the United States of America and replace it with a simulacrum of a Democratic Republic modeled on the CSA and powered by fascist principles, American fundamentalism, and white power.
