Parade Deck Sec Def (Oops Sec)

Drunk & Incompetent

I am still livid over the shameful disrespect towards Ira Hayes, Jackie Robinson, and so many other Veterans by the racist cowards, traitors, and Incels who never served a fucking day but, lets not forget how the current Secretary of Defense showed himself to be an incompetent and stupid man.

Pete Hegseth is an embarrassment and a stupid fuck who doesn't know how to lead.  Many people don't know how to lead and to compensate they focus on the wrong fucking things.  Hegseth's ideas of leadership are like a grade school boys imagination,

"It starts with the basic stuff, right?" Hegseth told the crowd. "It's grooming standards and uniform standards and training standards, fitness standards, all of that matters."

Focusing on how a uniform fits and grooming is a facile take and literally the most superficial view of leading, which belongs in basic training and the parade deck but, not in a combat ready military.  

As I deployed into combat zones it became readily apparent what senior NCOs had spent their careers worrying about shiny black books and Stay-Flo starched uniforms.

There were a whole cadre of Marines who in the post Vietnam era didn't deploy much and were laser-focused on chewing out any Marine who dared use the cargo pockets on his woodland cammies instead of having them flat up against the pants leg.

These Marines were focused on performance on field day instead of performance in the field.

It was evident Hegseth wasn't fit to be SecDef by the fact everyone in his command recommended he be kept as far away from authority and leadership as possible.  So to Hegseth, leadership amounts to what you look like.  

Hegseth also mentioned Broken Windows a wholly discredited policing strategy which of course appeals to a shitbag like him as it's annoyance and intimidation of peoples and fits with his worldview of some people not really having rights and protections and being subject to the whim of the Police State.

"It's almost like the broken windows theory of policing: when you ignore the small stuff from criminals, and I'm not I'm not saying if you violate grooming standards, you're a criminal, the analogy is incomplete, but if you violate the small stuff and you allow it to happen, the big stuff, it creates a culture where big stuff you're not held accountable for. I think the same thing exists inside our services," Hegseth insisted.

Except that is not how good police work is done.  It is how an occupying army views a subjugated peoples.  It is how a bully thinks and how a campaign of low-level harassment works to control victims.  It's a shit theory advanced by people who do not understand day-to-day policing, do not understand crime, and do not understand how best to deter or investigate crime and is a way of thinking a person who spent the last decade sitting on a couch spewing propaganda to Faux News watchers thinks.

Hopefully, we won't have any catastrophes under Hegseth's tenure but just these series of insults, blunders, and intolerances.  Sadly, I'm certain Hegesth (And Trump, Vance, and Musk) are going to get itchy to prove how big and strong they are and we'll find ourselves in a shooting war with NATO in Greenland, Panama, and Ontario.

Update:

Drunk and Incompetent.   Just prior to the Operation, Pete Hegseth and Senior Trump officials included Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor of The Atlantic, in Top Secret bombing campaign which happened in Yemen last week.  Hegseth is "accidentally" going to include Volodmyr Zelenskyy in the planning for the US Army 82nd and 101st Airborne assault on Kyiv in coordination with a Putin thrust into Ukraine.

Republicans hate America: Elon Musk is going to steal your grandmothers Social Security

Musk Swastikars not only threaten your Rights but
your very Lives, as well.

 And then lock her into a Cybertruck and burn her to death.

Every Tesla dealership should be burned to the ground before further unfortunate Americans get trapped inside these death traps or simply get run down in the street and killed by Elon Musk.  Musk, himself, should probably also be burned to death (metaphorically) to safeguard Americans.

Tesla had to take the step this month of recalling every single Cybertruck because the vehicles are falling apart.  Teslas are the shoddiest most dangerous vehicles on the roadways today.  In any functioning State, with a healthy robust regulatory system, Cybertrucks and Teslas would be banned from the roadway.  Instead in Fascist America, the erstwhile President and multiple Senators do free car advertisements and the financial markets widely over-value the company.  Well, in response to Musk's vandalization of the United States Government, people across the globe have at a grassroots level have created the Tesla Takedown, boycotting, and driving down the value of Tesla stock, as well as more direct destructive action against Tesla dealerships (which is very bad wink-wink).

This has made Elon Musk very mad.  And because he's a disregulated, petulant, ketamine-addict Musk is going to destroy Social Security.  Musk started his temper tantrum with massive lies about what DOGE was uncovering in the Social Security Administration (SSA) unfortunately for Musk his lies were easily disproved but after he got caught in a massive lie about 300 year old dead people being found on the SSI roles,  so Musk, the drug-addicted Nazi, decided to fire a bunch of SSA workers and stopped actual Americans from receiving their benefits.

Also having been caught in his stupid lies, Musk increased the scope of his lying while he furiously unleashed his Vandals on multiple agencies and buildings in orgies of destructive petulance.  Congressional Republicans for their part continue to bow, scrape, and defer to DOGE and Musk telling their angry constituents, 

“I support Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency,” - Mike Flood of Nebraska.  Total soy, cuck, NPC vibes.  Remember all those insults rightwingers use are a reflection on themselves. 

Though, Republicans of course, have yearned to destroy Social Security for decades.  I've posted often over the years how each generation of Republicans claims Social Security is going

Bankrupt

Republican Plan for America

Years ago Republicans broke the Social Contract but it's this moment they've been waiting for; the convergence of power at all levels of the Federal Government and just the right collection of hired mercenaries and vandals (i.e. DOGE and Elon Musk) to crush America.  As they dismantle the Nation, impoverish people, begin the extraordinary renditions and human rights violations they are banking on a reaction and uprising big enough for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Then MAGA can accomplish the True Goal of Project 2025;  the rounding up and liquidation of millions of people.

Update:

And in case you're so self-deluded to believe I'm being over-the-top hyperbolic here is the Trump Press Liar KKKaroline Leavitt casually discussing the DEATH PENALTY with Faux News Propagandist Harris Faulkner'

 “And I know that on January 20, the president signed through an executive order, restoring the death penalty … this is deadly, dangerous stuff these liberal protesters are playing with," Faulkner said.

“It is, Harris,” Leavitt replied. “And what I can tell you is that President Trump condemns this violence and he is determined to restore law and order in our country, and he will ensure that the harshest penalties are pursued for those who are engaging in this vicious violence that we have seen targeted at this American company.” 

Republicans concept of Law&Order are identical to those of Germany from 1933-1945.

J. D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Elon Musk declared Ira Hayes a DEI Marine

Ask a white Trump voter to point out which
Marine is Ira Hayes (My photo from 2013)

    I am certain Drunk Rapist Pete Hegseth is looking forward to the remixed version of Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers in which Ira Hayes is removed entirely from the film.

I am unsurprised at the level of utter disdain, disrespect, and dishonor DonOld Traitor Trump and EloNazi Musk have for American Veterans.  From shitting on Medal of Honor recipients, belittling Americans wounded and killed under his tenure as President, to disrespecting Arlington National Cemetery.  There has been solid reporting on the DOGE Bags simply removing information from the unclassified DoD webpages about women and minorities in the history of the United States Military.  Including the slap in the face, of adding "DEI Medal" to the webpage address of Medal of Honor recipient Charles Calvin Rogers, simply because he was a black man.

But, DOGE wasn't content and now they've simply removed information about Ira Hayes, a Hero pictured in the most iconic picture from World War 2.  That its' removal nearly coincides with the 80th anniversary of the photo the War Department's capitalization via Nationwide publicity tours to Win the War is just the cherry on-top the shit DOGE cake.

White people hate America.  This level of repeated insults, continued disrespect, and absolute racist treatment of a man who survived one of the worst battles in the Pacific only to fall victim to PTSD and die a sad lonely death just 10 years later is.  I can not adequately convey how livid that 70 years after his death a cadre of cowards, bigots, Incels, grotesqueries, and traitors could saunter into power and feel empowered to simply erase him from official records.

Certainly, the Trump administration spokes liars responded with some mealy-mouthed bullshit about how this was inadvertent accidental purge of Ira Hayes and the Flag Raising over Mt. Surabachi but, it's part of Donald Trumps promise to rid the US Military of the dreaded DEI.  This is of course designed to give over to his ardent white racist supporters the cover to say Nuh-Uh!  Trump didn't disrespect Ira Hayes!  DEI gotta go!

The address for the article on Hayes, for example, now includes “deipima-indian.” The URL for an article about combat medic Charles Norman Shay of the Penobscot tribe, who survived the D-Day landings in 1944, now reads “deinative-american-fought-with-distinction-in-world-war-ii-and-korea.” 

DEI has been one of the most successful branding campaigns conceived and implemented by Republicans.  Of course, Christopher Rufo's bullshit everything is DEI would not have worked without the complicit cooperation of the Corporate Media.

Supposedly, J.D. Vance is a Marine.  I'd like to ask him if he feels his service was more honorable than Ira Hayes' because Vance is a white man.  I wonder if Just Despicable Vance had the courage to tell his Senior Drill Instructor at Parris Island that Ira Hayes was no hero?

And that DonOld Traitor Trump would be able to get away with proclaiming how much he loves our troops and white people would fall all over themselves to worship him, while he continually denigrates and shits on men and women far braver than he could ever be.

Update:

DOGE Incels also shit on Jackie Robinson whom they also labeled “DEI” which of course illustrates Republicans were rooting for the racists and bigots in the Chadwick Boseman led biopic.

Dear Elon Musk, Destroying the property of Oppressive Tyrants is an American Tradition

Who's footing the Overtime Bill of this Detail?
Back in 1776 these coats would have been Red.

Elon Musk, and his puppet Donald Trump, and hand-picked Inquisitor Pam Bondi have declared the on-going destruction of Tesla both financially and physically to be a coordinated campaign of domestic terrorism and have vowed to go after them with the full power of the American government.

What Pam Bondi said is the same thing Loyalist Lt. Gov Thomas Hutchinson and the British Crown said of the revolutionaries and Sons of Liberty.

When the Sons of Liberty prevented the British Tea from being unloaded into Boston Harbor, British Naval Vessels blockaded the harbor because the Tax had to be paid!

Oh I know!  I know!  I'm supposed to clutch at my breast and indigently declare the destruction of property is never, ever the acceptable!  Never, ever justified!   I'll just say the Founding Fathers would have melted every Cybertruck down and turned the stainless steel into bullets by now.  Especially, over the actions of an unelected Shadow President and villainous tyrant like Elon Musk.

DOGE and Trump are ransacking the United States Government, impoverishing the American People, destroying the Rule of Law, and laying the foundation for a Fascist Neo-Confederacy.  But, Musk's destruction of USAID, killing Veterans,  swiping Social Security, and helping Project 2025 and the decades long Republican agenda of installing an oppressive, intolerant, plutocracy founded on the twin pillars of white supremacy and fundamentalist patriarchy is crime of such magnitude that white people are fine with the 250 year old American Republic burning down.

Don't forget Trump signed an Executive Order back in January allowing him to invoke Insurrection Act.  In about 30 days time, Trump, Pam Bondi, Tom Holman, Pete Hegseth are going to declare the the Tesla Riots a casus belli and invoke the Insurrection Act.  Elon Musk has been yearning to violently unleash the United States Government onto Americans.  Be prepared because ICE is already acting as an unaccountable Secret Police and Trump has an agreement with El Salvador to use their sprawling 100,000 plus prison as an American Gulag.  Violence and bloodshed are probably coming.

The 3rd Amendment is about Quartering American Troops not Canadian Ones. Welcome to my Home Northern Liberators!

Get in the Cybertruck Suckers & Losers! 
We're invading Canada!

"We need Greenland for national security and even international security," the Traitor said during his address. "I think we're going to get it. One way or the other, we're going to get it."

Why does Trump continue to threaten Canada (and Panama and Greenland)?

There are two main reasons;  Trump is a shit-talking bully who gets off on being an asshole insulting people while he's got a literal army standing behind him.  Also, once Trump undertakes a course of action he can never admit he was wrong even in the slightest degree.  Trump was Right is one of the catechisms of MAGA and so Trump has to be "right" about Canada becoming our cherished 51st State and about getting Greenland "one way or another".

So, at no point when asked by the Media can Trump claim he was not absolute sincere and correct about annexing Canada.  Today, DonOld quite matter-of-factly continued to declare Canada isn't a country as it was formed by a drawn line and only works as a State.  And today's reporting is Trump has military plans for taking the Panama Canal, after he told the Nation, "my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal."  Of course, the Corporate Media would never be so gauche as to properly call this an act of war but continue use the "reclaiming" euphemism.

I've asked some standard Reactionaries if there is any problem at all to them with a President seeming to threaten War with Canada or Denmark or Panama.  They simply laugh it off and resort to the "Can't take him literally or seriously" and man it sure is funny how he negged and trolled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

What Trump learned in his first term was the constraints on him were self-imposed.  I've written before Trump understands "The Law", as a perfect Platonic Ideal existing in the firmament, does not exist.  His complaints about Weaponized Department of Justice were a fulfillment of the Every Accusation Is A Confession so often found amongst Republican politicians.  Trump knows "The Law" is whatever he says it is because America is not a Nation of Laws but of Men and with the power of his cult, his fawning Corporate Media fans, his cowed Republican lawmakers, and his co-conspirators in the Supremacist Court he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants to whomever he wants.

He also knows that politics matches TV with episodic narratives being more important than an over-arching storyline or plot arc.  So if it's Tariffs today or No Tariffs today his cult will declare it the best move ever by any American President!  If it's threatening Canada, or Greenland, or Panama;  well, that's shrewd business acumen and leader of the free world strength and not the syphilitic whims of a madman.  If it's strong-arming Zelenskyy to turning over Ukraine's "Raw Earth" and helping Putin reverse his defeat in Ukraine that's a Real Peacemaker!  Or causing a recession and bankrupting Americans retirement savings while stealing Social Security Trump really means Trump is looking out for the Working Class!

In the worst case scenario, Musk in a Ketamine induced haze orders US military assets to strike targets in Canada for failing to protect his Tesla dealerships or claims a Canadian government hacker conducted a DDOS attack on Twitter (X) and declares a Casus Beli.  This preposterous sequence of events would have been declined as too fantastical and silly by even Tom Clancy's editors.  Yet, here we are...

And here's the worst and most frightening aspect.  No one is coming to save us.  Canada and Denmark are not going to invoke Article 5 of the NATO compact (based on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter) in the face of continued bellicose rhetoric and even if Trump were to get Greenland or Panama by direct military action.  The Democratic Party leadership does not seem up to the task.  The Corporate Media, Banking institutions, CEOs have thrown in with Trump (as he knew they would) and even with him cratering the economy aren't really doing anything.  The Republican Party is fully MAGA now, and any holdouts from previous iterations are content to go along.

So, either the Fascist Fever griping Us breaks or the Nation does...

Additional:

 “We do not appreciate the Secr. Gen. of NATO joking with Trump about Greenland like this,” Rasmus Jarlov, chairman of the defense committee in Denmark’s parliament posted on X Thursday. “It would mean war between two NATO countries. Greenland has just voted against immediate independence from Denmark and does not want to be American ever.”

I'm stunned.  A War with Denmark?  Trump wants to be remembered forever, destroying NATO and forming his Russian-American Alliance would make him Infamous and his Presidency would indeed be spoken about for decades to come.

Republicans hate America: Tariffs go Brrrrr. Trade War go Boom. American Dream goes ka-blowie!

You can't explain to people this type of mind frame
Like a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape
I'm fine like wine when I start to rap

“I’m going to say this at risk of my job,” CNBC senior economics reporter Steve Liesman.  “But what President Trump is doing is insane. It is absolutely insane. It is about the eighth reason we’ve had for the tariffs.” 

Remember Jeff Bezos made criticism of Trump's economic capriciousness unacceptable.  Mark Zuckerberg removed fact-checking of Trump's lies a bedrock of the New Meta/Facebook.  Elon Musk, of course, is the Shadow President.

The reason these obscene billionaires did this is because they want the United States economy to crash and burn.  There is so much to be gained by impoverishing Americans and removing the concept of the American Dream from the minds of Americans.

What the Billionaire Plutocrats have wanted to do is reutilize the strongest weapon ever created throughout the history of mankind; the minds of the oppressed.

Americans have longed believed that hard work, following the rules, and electing dutiful like-minded people into office meant they had a chance for a better life for themselves and their children.  Not Republicans.  Republicans hate America.  Republicans hate the Federal Government being used for social engineering.

So, what Republicans have done for decades is proclaim Democrats are using the Federal Government for the purpose of helping those who don't deserve it get ahead of those that do.  They've blasted it under various names over the past 60 years but, hit the jackpot with DEI.   Traitor Trump used this to great effect especially against Vic President Kamala Harris.

Every.  Single.  Complaint.  By Trump.  By Elon Musk.  By Faux News.  By the rightwing social media propagandists.  By their battered and brain-washed drones.  Revolves around the fact, Republicans do not believe the government should help anyone, ever, including America citizens.  Look at Elon Musk and Trump and the Republicans in Congress moving to steal social security and eliminate Medicaid.

Government, to Republicans, should be a blunt instrument used to quell domestic dissent at home and to open up foreign markets to exploitation.  But, understand what Republicans are doing this time around isn't just the just promising White People that they will remove all the unqualified blacks and women from positions in the government but, setting them up to believe that Government can never be equitable or a force for good and must be eliminated.  Because once Republicans convince their voters there is no American Dream; that a better life, or retirement, or security in their old age is no longer possible well then those same people will fight literally to make sure it's not possible. 

I guess Trump and MAGA are lucky the first steps over the edge into the economic abyss have happened so quickly as KKKaroline Leavitt and Peter Navaro were quick to blame President Biden.  But, even Traitor Trump himself is saying out loud that a Recession is coming and American workers are going to be reduced to penury and wage slavery.  

"I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing.  It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us," DonOld stated as the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and every economic indicator in the country began a precipitous drop.

That "Us" is the fucking tell.  Because it's not U.S. it's a small cadre of incredibly obscenely wealthy individuals who are going to get that "wealth".

Hey! Why isn't anyone talking about Chemtrails (Contrails) anymore?

     Look I know RFK Jr is in the midst of making a Measles outbreak in Texas become a full-blown Nationwide epidemic but, why isn't he moving on stopping chemtrails in the sky?

REO > RFK
Time for me to Fly

"We are going to stop this crime.  Kind of frightening to think that somebody may be putting large amounts of bioavailable aluminum into the environment, spraying it in microscopic particulates from airplanes.” - RFK Jr in August 2024

This was a major point of RFK Jr's 2024 campaign and part and parcel of his plan to replace the highly respected, world-renown, US scientific medical community based on a century of hands-on work, decades of research, thousands of trials, and millions of man-hours of painstaking study, theory, and effort with some bullshit the worm in his brain came up with.

Ah wait!  Now, I get why Elon Musk is firing hundreds of FAA traffic controllers.  And why Sean Himbo Duffy is overseeing an aviation accident every day.

Always remember things like spewing conspiracy theories about chemtrails is part of the Republican plan prior to an election.  They concoct and spread as many lies to see which one gains traction amongst their willing accomplices in the Corporate Media and which ones their base gravitates towards.  After the election, they get busy destroying the Government and pilfering as much loot as they can (after all this is the reason Republicans run for office) and forget all about the propaganda and lies until and unless they find a need, excuse, or reason to bring it back up.  The joy of being a Republican is having no memory and being able to change their deeply held beliefs and convictions from day-to-day as needed.

White people for their part love being lied to and actively seek out Republican lies.

Trump's Economic Free-Fall: If America was a Plane, Trump would Crash it on purpose

America looked from Trump to Musk and
Musk to Trump and could not tell the difference

"What am I supposed to do?" Sean Himbo Duffy asked. "I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers?"

At another point, Musk suggested that air traffic controllers hired through DEI programs were responsible for inefficiencies in control towers, though when pressed, he failed to provide specific examples.

During Trump's first administration he brutally raised my taxes and screwed me with the SALT deduction cap.  

Now, just 50 days into his Fascist Second Term he's wiped out a quarter of my retirement savings.  However, I am lucky that these accounts I have were extra monies I've managed to set aside to complement my expected pension but, just like with George W. Bush's Great Recession Trump's Capricious Economic Free Fall is wiping out years of retirement savings for me and millions of Americans and I don't even know if that will get his cult members attention let alone for them to abandon him.  After all his little blonde spokes liar KKKaroline Leavitt simply blamed President Joe Biden today.

It's not only multiple planes and the economy but the entire Nation in a Free-fall.  And it's not an accident, or an unfortunate byproduct of Trump's capricious On Again/Off Again Tariff threats, but exactly what Musk and MAGA have planned to do once they got their hands of the levers of government.

“We have to reduce spending to live within our means. And that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity,” Elon Musk said back in October.

Watch out when a Billionaire uses "We"!  Always remember when Republicans speak of shared sacrifice or "temporary hardship" and "long-term prosperity" they mean your hardship and their prosperity.  It seems clear the Trump/Musk plan is to cause a Depression and use the economic turmoil to allow the Billionaire Class to buy up all the functions of Government, wide swathes of Federal Land, and huge tracts of housing and buildings cheap to then enforce the Rule of the Rich.  Additionally, Musk and MAGA will steal Social Security and eliminate all the other meager social safety net programs.

Why do you think Musk is always lying about Fraud he's uncovering?  $50,000,000 for condoms for Gaza!  Only 6% of Federal Workers are going into the Office!  8 million dollars to study Transgender Mice!!! 150 year olds are getting Social Security!  

Elon Musk was interviewed by Larry Kudlow on one of the Faux News programs;  the Coke Addict and Ketamine Addict discussed all the fraud, waste, and abuse in the Social Security Administration as Musk intends to siphon off those funds to prop up his Government financed Fortune.

"[M]ost of the federal spending, is entitlements. So that’s like the big one to eliminate. That’s the sort of half trillion, maybe 600, 700 billion a year."

When MAGA speaks of fraud, wast, or abuse what they mean is every function of the Federal Government.  Listen to king idiot Joe Rogan and MAGA villain Marc Andreessen talk about the CFPB "terrorizing businesses" 

Marc Andreessen:  Yeah, 450 federal agencies and two new ones a year. And then my favorite twist is we have this thing called independent federal agencies. So for example, we have this thing called the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, cfpb, which was the. It's sort of Elizabeth Warren's personal agency that gets to control, and it's an independent agency that just gets to run and do whatever it wants. Right. And if you read the Constitution, like, there is no such thing as an independent agency. And yet there it is.

Joe Rogan: What does her agency do?

Marc Andreessen:  Whatever she wants.

Joe Rogan:  What does it do, though?

Marc Andreessen:  Basically, terrorize finance, terrorize financial institutions, prevent fintech, prevent new competition, new startups that want to compete with the big banks. Really? Oh, yeah.

Joe Rogan:  How so?

Marc Andreessen: Just by terrorizing anybody who tries to do anything and financial services.

Just ridiculous lies and hyperbolic fear-mongering.  And yes, White People have been lied to for 50 fucking years and deliberately misinformed by Republican Propaganda but eventually you have to realize White People want to be lied to and actively seek out lies. Trump's entire Political success and MAGA acumen was realizing he could win by lying non-stop about everything. 

Unfortunately, now in power Trump, Musk, and MAGA are going to bankrupt the Nation so the vast majority of Americans are reduced to Wage Slavery.  Migrants will, of course be imprisoned and used on work release in a near facsimile of actual chattel Slavery.

The next Democratic President is going to be tasked with cleaning up this epic shitshow and recreating basic governmental functions and will be unable to produce or advance a progressive Democratic agenda.  And if somehow some liberal legislation gets proposed and passed there is always the Reactionary Supremacist Court to simply say No that fails the Major Originalism Questions I Just Pulled Outta My Ass  Theory.

Elon Musk is exhibiting signs of megalomania, delusions of grandeur, and God Complex.  I know it's been heavily reported Musk has autism but, I refuse to accept the He's Ill defense to a man who is an outright Nazi and is threatening various Democracies across the planet whilst he dismantles the United States.  

The United States stands on the brink of Economic Free-Fall and its' obvious the crashing Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and other markets is what Trump and Musk and their Billionaire co-conspirators want because of what it will mean for their control of the Nation.

The Crypto Con & The Crypto Don: Cryptocurrency is Fiat Currency is Too Big To Fail will bankrupt the US Treasury

Unstable $20,000 dollar swings inside of 2 weeks

We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started.

As part of his plan to bankrupt the American people, impose vicious austerity, and turn the Federal Government into a system modeled on Putin's Russian Federation controlled by OligarchsDonOld Traitor Trump announced a US Strategic CryptoCurrency Reserve.

Over the last year, Bitcoin has jumped from a low of $54,000 to a high of $106,000 and today sits around $81,000.  Trump's executive order covered 5 total commodities.

Trump has believed for a long time that the Dollar being the world's reserve currency is a "bad deal" for the United States.  Of course, it's because he's stupid and has a Mafia leaders understanding of money.  What he's really interested in is what he can get out of it.  Hence, the $TRUMP meme coin.  Trump's a pump and dumper who base desire for money means he'll make this "Strategic Reserve". 

Of course, Crypto is a worthless commodity and a terrible financial instrument except for stealing large sums of real money.  Which is the entire point for those who invented it.  Crypto's, most common use, is to bilk old people out of their life's savings.

All those crypto bros who declared BitCoin and crypto was a hedge against inflation and a way to undermine the Fiat Currency will never admit that what they've always wanted was to replace their dollar with their made up digital "currency" and thus make themselves instant Billionaires with no work.

Ha ha ha your money is rocks join the 21st century, they say.  God Candle!  Bitcoin will always go up!

Couple that with the massive amounts of energy required just to service the Servers which compute the algorithms and store the bits.  And the massive noise pollution and heat produced by the complexes required to do the so-called "mining".  

Sacks owns huge amounts of all 5 Strategic Crypto

Of course, even worse than the new coal plants which will be built to simply burn coal to run the crypto algorithms will be the Collapse and Bailout.

What Trump did was make Bitcoin and Crypto reserves Too Big To Fail, so when the pump-and-dump and rug pull cycles lead to a crypto collapse the Whales will need to be bailed out thus leading to a $6,000,000,000,000 transfer of wealth.  Yes it will be 6 Trillion dollar bailout.

And where will that money come from?  Glad you asked. Medicaid, Social Security will make up half of the money stolen and the other half the Republicans will get creative.  But, like all thieves the Republicans  know that what they are in office to do is to make new ways to funnel taxpayers money into their and their Plutocrat Owners hands.

Crypto is just one facet of the Trump/Musk/MAGA dismantling of the United States of America.  And without a doubt when the massive theft occurs, MAGA will simply listen to Faux News and blame Woke DEI Biden for the crime.  Billionaires are going to make off with every American's birthright.

Drunk Van Orden shits on a fired Veterans Affair employee as he shits on America

There is so much horrible shit happening it's easy to miss the little insults.  With vast firings of federal employees, by the head of DOGE, Tony Ruiz a terminated employee of the Veterans Affairs, who was fired on February 3rd just days before his year-long probationary period was about to end, reached out to Wisconsin Drunk Van Orden a member of the Veterans Congressional Commitee asking about the firings.

Well in response, Drunken Derrick Van Orden disgraced the Naval Service yet again.  Van Orden is a mean drunk.  He's always intoxicated and always lashing out at people. 

Drunk Van Orden responded in the petulant despicable way all Republicans act now, insulting, condescending, and threatening.  Van Orden couldn't even be bothered to note Tony Ruiz had already been fired by a DOGE Incel when he threatened to report Ruiz to DOGE for daring to contact him at 1:46pm and "posting trash" about Traitor DonOld Trump.

Like all Republicans, Van Orden hates America.  Like, all Republicans he is given undo credit for claiming to "Support the Troops" when his every action is to shit and piss on Veterans.  Like all Republicans, Van Orden's goal in government is to harm and fuck over as many people as possible in service to bigotry and the wealthy. 

But, I have no faith, exactly ZERO, in the supposed backlash in these angry town halls.  White people have shown a dogged determination to eat as many shit sandwiches the Republican Party can serve up to them, as long as they get the Trump speeches extolling and promising bigotry and harm will be done to the Other.  So, despite being a mean and disrespectful drunk Van Orden seems in little danger of losing his Congressional seat as he shits all over Americans and helps to enact the Republican agenda of hatred, oppression, and subjugation of America to the Rich.

MAGA destroying NATO in order to create the Trump-Putin Axis

Rus and Us; The Two Towers

It doesn't take a particularly astute analyst or access to TS/SCI intel to see Trump is aligned/allied/enthralled with Vladimir Putin.  He asked for Putin's direct help on television during his 2016 campaign.  Having gotten tangible and direct aid from the leader of hostile foreign power, Trump has spent the last 9 years denying it.  During his February petulant tantrum against Volodmyr Zelenskyy, Trump angrily defended War Criminal Putin to the assembled rightwing and foreign media.  His ardor having been raised by Zelenskyy pulling his punk card, Trump screamed about the Russia Hoax, "Russia! Russia! Russia!"

The "Hoax" of course being that what happened didn't actually happen.

Trump and Vance wanted to ritually humiliate Zelenskyy, while they took credit for the military and monetary aid provided by President Joe Biden.  And having Zelenskyy grovel whilst signing over a half-Trillion in minerals rights (RAW EARTH in a senile Trump malaprop), they would then declare Trump would negotiate a peace treaty in which Zelenskyy gave up everything to Putin while Russia was allowed to consolidate their gains and rearm for the next attack on Ukraine.

Leaders in numerous European countries having seen this childish tirade and then receiving the follow-up declaration by Drunken Rapist Pete Hegseth to remove US counter cyber warfare protections against Russia demonstrated their urgent need to come together to form an EU bulwark against the merging American-Russian Alliance. 

Working Lard? or Hardly working?

Whilst UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer correctly calls this a crossroads of history, Fat bastard Traitor Trump went to Mar-a-Lago to go golf and J.D. Vance went to Vermont to go ski.  And paid Russian propagandist Benny Johnson declared Trump is a Machine Working Hard down in Florida!  

Understand rightwingers in the United States have been so heavily and so thoroughly propagandized that they believe whatever lies Republicans tell them today even and especially if those lies directly contradict the lies the Republicans told the day before.  There really is no coming back from this.  It was obvious during the 2024 election coverage how impervious Republican voters are too the truth and how they have been so expertly controlled they now deliberately seek out propaganda to confirm the Agitprop which has been steadily fed to them over 50 years. 

Canada will be the United States' Ukraine

Combine this with reporting that convicted criminal Peter Navarro, urged Trump to remove Canada from 5 Eyes classification (Can, UK, Australia, NZ) shows that a U.S. NATO is dead. 

    What appears increasingly likely is Musk in some Ketamine induced fit of apoplexy will tweet out an order declaring a state of war exists between the US MAGA military and Canada.  Certainly, reading that last sentence would seem like an eye-rolling piece of fantasy but, Trump keeps saying Canada is going to become the 51st state and Musk keeps emailing Reply All to everyone in the Federal Government to justify their existence while telling Joe Rogan he's totally not a Nazi.

To call back to my own blog over 10 years ago, there is a concerted effort by the richest assholes in history to turn the United States into a clone of the Holy Roman Empire.  Billionaires, such as Harlan Crow, the DeVos Family, Linda and Vince McMahon, Elon Musk,  Paul E. Singer, Stephen A. Schwarzman, the Koch Brothers, want to rule the country as the Capitalist Nobility they imagine themselves to be, while using their vast apparatus of propaganda and control to select a figurehead President and pliant Congressmen.

  It's a stunning conspiracy in which they've managed to gain control of every Republican and Supreme Court justices.  Look at how Republicans at their angry town halls simply assert Elon Musk and DOGE have uncovered Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.  Sorry we need to steal your Social Security, eliminate your Medicaid, and return the rule of this country to those who own it.

Traitor Trump and Just Despicable Vance attack President Zelenskyy and Ukraine and form an alliance with Vlad Putin

Three KGB assets in the Oval Office

"We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years" François Hollande

Well, it's fascinating, if horrible to witness, the end of a strategic era.  NATO is probably dead as an American led coalition.  Instead we see the flowering of the American-Russian Alliance built upon the hand-in-glove relationship of Vlad Putin and Donald Trump. 

I'm certain DonOld Traitor Trump sees himself as an equal and peer with Vladimir Putin and imagines their Alliance will dominate Europe and form a bulwark against China.

I'm fairly certain Trump wants to get rid of NATO for the same base reason he got rid of NAFTA and declared the creation of "Space Force", to create something which will forever be tied to his name.  Trump's new global alliance with Russia, let's call it the Krasnov Pact, is a legacy no future American President or Congress or anything associated with this failing Nation could ever repudiate.  

Trump's foreign policy considerations are based upon Great Power games in which the US uses it's status and military might to wrest concessions from Minor Powers and intimidates erstwhile allies into acquiescence.  As such he can't contemplate "Soft Power" as for instance in the form of USAID, but only the threat of military violence.  Trump is as subtle as a cudgel.  His threats to Denmark and Canada are not only ludicrous but also criminal.  But, having admired Putin for years its' what he thinks a Great Power does. 

So, I'm not surprised after calling Volodmyr Zelenskyy a Dictator and claiming Ukraine started the War with Russia, Trump and Vance attacked President Zelenskyy today.  Trump and Vance claimed this meeting would be to secure mineral rights for the US in Ukraine while bolstering American support to the Nation, but it was clearly a staged hit-job to make Zelenskyy look weak and supplicant to Trump.

It's clear Vance wanted to have an Epic Takedown, viral Tik Tok video of him absolutely OWNING Zelenskyy to burnish his fascist cred on the rightwing internet.  Vance came off looking like a fool as he stepped in to chide Zelenskyy with no saying Thank You and being disrespectful in front of the American media.  But, when Vance tried to mention "diplomacy" Zelenskyy made J.D. look like a poseur when he pointed out J.D. doesn't know anything about Ukraine and Vance sputtered he'd watched some videos.

The only people who thought Trump and Vance came off well in this dishonorable exchange are those who declared loudly that Biden was lying about Russia invading Ukraine, and then when Vlad did invade those same people declared Kyiv would fall in in "3 days".  Trump simply spouted Putin Talking Points and looked like a whinny little shit demanding a Thank you and telling him Ukraine is going to lose. 

The fact that this very same day Trump and Vance attacked Zelenskyy and Ukraine, that he ordered Drunken Rapist Pete Hegseth to stop US counter measures against Russia cyber attacks.

Whatever Trump's gravitation towards Russia and Vladimir Putin, Europe clearly sees the United States is no longer an ally let alone the leader in countering Russian aggression.  Fortunately, Europe sent out immediate messages of support apparently backed by legislative measures to continue supplying materials and support to Ukraine even while Trump plans to cut off Ukraine.  If the UK, France, and Germany get together to lead Europe away from the US sphere of world order it will be a devastating blow to next 100 years of American interests.  

The whole problem with the Lord Palmerston dictum there are no eternal allies only eternal intrests is that other Nations exist too.  Of course, Trump will be long gone when a diminished US faces blowback from the World but, he might still be in office when we witness the end of the American Century and the Rise of Chinese Hegemony.  All Xi has to do is sit back and watch Trump and Musk blow up the United States, destroy our foreign alliances and move into the regions we've abandoned.

Update:

You gotta be nice and thank me!

I watched the whole Oval Office debacle via Vaush's synchronous commentary.  It's shameful.  It's worse than you've heard.  We start with brain damaged Trump's malaprop of "Raw Earth" and he answers every question with his litany of grievances.  Followed by Biden is too blame for everything.  Then we see the stark contrast with the American rightwing media asking him, why are you so moral?  What a great peacekeeper you are sir!  While the foreign media correctly asked him how he intends to make sure Putin keeps any deal and Trump tells them its' a dumb question because he's so great!  Better than George Washington and better than Abe Lincoln!  Zelenskyy then pulled both Trump's and Vance's punk card and debunked their bullshit and the immediate angry childish tantrums thrown in front of the assembled media was beyond embarrassing.  Trump and Vance are triggered easily and immediately.  

When you combine this duo in the White House with Elon Musk's evisceration of the Federal Government it's hard to see how the US will come back after 4 years of Oligarchical treason agains the Constitution, especially with the Supremacist Court certain to stop any attempts at fixing this mess.

The Crisis of Masculinity: Andrew Tate and Donald Trump, two avowed Rapists, are their role models?

Andrew and Tristan Tate, two avowed rapists and sex crime proponents landed in the Florida today, I'm guessing most likely to request asylum from King Sex Criminal DonOld Trump.  I expect an announcement by Trump or Pam Bondi that America will not be prosecuting the Tate brothers to follow shortly, coupled with express pressure on the governments of the UK and Romania to drop their criminal proceedings.

Their flight was the most tracked flight as I'm sure the on-line toxic patriarchy wanted to proclaim Woke DEI Hillary Clinton Ninjas murdered Andrew Tate to blunt his messianic message to men everywhere.

Andrew Tate's toxic influence hasn't waned after three separate Nations charged him with rape, kidnapping, and human trafficking and despite Tate being such an emotional, overconfident, underpowered intellect leading to Greta Thunberg getting under his skin leading to his location and arrest; the fanatic zeal wasn't blunted.  Plus, he had other leading on-line reactionary rapists (Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson) chalking up his crimes as plots by the DeepState to undermine the message.

Tate's website and crypto coin were giant scams to fleece young men of their money and also involved a 21st century version of the old top-down pyramid scheme but, Trump's malignant influence on Romania led to his meme coin "DADDY" jumping in market cap value 80% as he flew to Florida to pay homage.

It's easy to see why young men gravitate towards Trump, Tate, Musk, and the misogynist right; they offer them the illusion of power and control, especially over women.  Just as with higher education, The Left and the Democratic Party have over the years become coded with the feminine, the LGBTQ, and cooperation instead of domination.  Indeed, these out and proud rapists often seem to their followers to not only do whatever they want they do so without fear of consequence and always seem to get away with it.

Update:

Tate's victims are floored by Trump's despicable actions;

The four British women who have accused Andrew Tate responded to the news of the brothers' travel to the U.S. with a joint statement on Thursday, saying they were "in disbelief and feel retraumatized by the news that the Romanian authorities have given into pressure from the Trump administration to allow Andrew Tate to travel around Europe and to the U.S."

"We can only hope that the British authorities finally take action, do something about this terrifying unfolding situation and ensure he faces justice in the U.K.," they said.

The Republican Fraud: Angry MAGA Town Halls upset Republicans are going to eliminate Medicaid and dismantle America?

"Elon Musk was hired by Donald Trump and given
the authority. I would encourage anyone who finds
themselves in this situation to realize that
we are going to get this economy turning again.
There are jobs available.
God has a plan and purpose for your life.” - 
After Mark Alford told his Serfs Neo-Feudalism is here
he ran to Faux News to tell them he has no problem
calling out the SWAT to kill them 

I warned you.  President Biden warned you.  Republicans, once back in control of the Federal Government, are one vote away from slashing the merger Social Safety Net.

“Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse. Everybody knows that, we all know it intuitively. No one in here would disagree,” - Mike Johnson.  Oh??? We know it intuitively? So Mike doesn't have to prove his claims of STAGGERING FRAUD WASTE and ABUSE, you the miseducated Republican voter just know it intuitively.

Well... here we are.  Republicans under Mike Johnson are scrambling to get their acts together to eliminate Medicaid.  Republican Millionaires lying to you to in service of Billionaires.  Now of course, rightwingers are going to lie and say Republicans and Trump cutting $880,000,000,000 from Medicaid is "saving it".

“I support any plan that helps Medicaid be sustainable. And the current trajectory of Medicaid is not,” said Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds.

Allegedly, over the past week as it's become obvious that Elon Musk and the Republicans are going to simply eliminate much of the Federal Government (USAID and Medicaid, the VA, Inspectors General, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) MAGA Voters are pushing back and yelling at Republicans in angry town hall meetings over the DOGE vandalization and ransacking of the Federal Government.

Scott F(ucking) Fitzgerald in a Town Hall in West Bend, Wisconsin responded with the current Republican catch-all Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.  "The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered already..."

"There is waste, abuse, and fraud in Medicaid we are finding out through DOGE and the access to this data there is massive waste, abuse, and fraud." - Missouri Congressman Mark Alford told Kaitlin Collins as he is gladly going to vote to cut Medicaid.

“But let me tell you, we cannot get to where we need to go without Medicaid,” Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) said Tuesday on Fox Business, adding that “Medicaid is where a lot of these savings could come from.”

"What Elon Musk is doing is truly revolutionary. As the DOGE algorithms find widespread fraud, waste, and abuse in the executive branch agencies that have been hidden from Congress for decades—it will allow us to restore the original intent of our Constitution: a leaner, more efficient, and more accountable federal government that is kept in check by the legislative branch.- Mike Johnson

Republicans believe the entire Federal Government is Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.  What MAGA and Elon Musk intend to do is nothing short of eliminating the entire Federal Government and replacing it with a shoddy simulacrum of a Democratic Republic.

“You can protest all you want outside of departments of this government, you can protest all you want, but the American people disagree with you. Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue, by the way. They’re consuming taxpayer dollars. Those jobs are paid for by the American tax people, who work real jobs, earn real income, pay federal taxes, and then pay these federal employees. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks. And these are jobs that can be fired at will.” - Congresswoman Major Traitor Greene 

You don't deserve a job.  There are two roles the Republicans see for the Federal Government; a domestic law enforcement apparatus ready to violently quell any and all domestic dissent and war crimes ready Military to be used to intimidate and coerce minor powers and threaten our allies into compliance.

Of course, every now and then a Republican will also use the Illegal Immigrants line for their evil actions; 

"Let me give you an example, did you know that the VA was in charge of payments for illegals, for umm housing." Oklahoma Republican Congresswoman Stephanie Bice told a disabled West Virginia Trump Voting Veteran.

But, Republicans have always hated the social safety net because it gives Americans options and freedoms and the ability to not have to work themselves to death.  And make no mistake, Death is what Republicans want for millions of Americans.

First off, as always I remain highly skeptical of these white rage demonstrations because over the last 60 years, white people have proven over and over again their ability to swallow every shit sandwich Republicans feed to them while voting GOP more fervently each time.  White people (as an overall group) have not voted for a Democratic President since LBJ in '64.  I see no reason to believe whites won't return to MAGA-Land in 26 and 28, when Trump runs again.  Certainly, Republicans believe all they have to say is the magical incantation of 

Woke DEI Transgender Illegal Immigrant Biden Inflation Fraud, Waste, and Abuse

And MAGA Voters will nod sagely, and say Ah 'tis true, 'tis true, clearly I need to be fired from my job

Republicans do this because they know the voting electorate has the memory of goldfish and the goal is to win the day-to-day messaging war because in two years time White People will have forgotten whatever nasty, vicious, anti-freedom, fascist action Republicans did in the past and instead will get upset about the Rightwing outrage du jour, like those Transgender athletes. 

From the story of the MAGA Loving, three time Trump voting, now fired VA employee and his wife;

“I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting,” he said. “We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.”

The man’s wife said they also believed his years of military service would have offered him more protection against DOGE cuts.

“I recognize there are a lot of cuts that need to be made, but this is not the one that you think will happen to your family,” she said. “I encouraged him to take the job there, because he loved working for the agency, and I think it has a good mission.”

I voted Trump and expected him to hurt those people not me!!!  So, sure protest and complain to your Republican Congressperson at a Town Hall for as long as they continue to hold them, but understand it's too fucking late.  We warned you, but the Corporate Media told you the 'Democrats are Lyin'! and White People said, 'FUCK OFF DEMOCRATS!  WE WANT FASCISM!  BURN IT ALL DOWN!!!'  

And here we are Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and the Republican House and Senate, and Supremacist Court have soaked the Nation in gasoline and are throwing matches they call Fraud, Waste, and Abuse at it.   And come 2026 and 2028, those White People who have been directly materially harmed by Musk and MAGA will go back into the voting booth and vote straight Republican yet again.
