You know, Iโ€™m kinda over people gloating about the FAFO of MAGA who voted for Trump and are now feeling the consequences of it. Because the reality is, itโ€™s not just them getting what they voted for, Iโ€™M getting what they voted for. And thatโ€™s nothing for me to be happy aboutโ€ฆ

hey, do you know what the Boy Kingโ€™s Big Love-Me Birthday Parade is costing? 45 million dollars โ€” $16 million of which is just to repair the damage to DCโ€™s streets that will be caused by hundreds of tanks rolling across them.

    The Army is preparing for the potential harm to Washington streets with several measures it hopes will avert damage. These include using 1-inch-thick steel plates, some as long as 20 feet, at places along the parade route where the tanks must turn and where those turns could cause the most damage to the streets.

this is all so fucking unnecessary. tens of million of dollars, pissed right down the drain, just so a broken-inside bottomless pit of need can pretend heโ€™s not the worthless piece of shit failure that his father never stopped telling him he was.

you can only have two government-approved dolls and five pencils, but Donny gets to have a skillionty tanks and spend all the money he wants on a vanity parade.

and by the way, forty-five mil is chicken feed compared to what Donnyโ€™s wasting on his little adventure in Los Angeles.

โ€œthe current estimated cost is $134 million dollars.โ€

wrap your mind around that. one hundred and thirty-four million dollars, just so the National Guard can โ€œprotectโ€ a few square blocks of downtown Los Angeles from its own residents. what a waste.

think about that, the next time some Republican fuckwad tells you that we canโ€™t afford to give seniors healthcare, or provide hot lunches to schoolchildren.

Josh did miss Catherine every now and then, but mostly he was pretty happy with the trade.

Somehow, Trump has declared that weโ€™re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so โ€œurgentโ€ that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

Donald Trump may change the meaning of the word presidential as in my uncle fell down and hit his head on the curb. He's been rendered completely presidential.

The only reason we ever became concerned with a โ€œtrade deficitโ€ was in the 80s when Japanese car companies were eating American companies lunch.

Thatโ€™s it.

Itโ€™s not meant to be an economic strategy.

I have a trade deficit with Applebees but weโ€™re fine

I'm not "inspired" by women with more money than they know what to do with taking an expensive joyride as ordinary Americans go without when women who actually flew aircraft are being erased from history by the Pentagon and women astrophysicists are being besmirches as "DEI hires" and fired.

The whole tariff thing is just a way for Trump and his billionaire buddies to tank the market to buy low and get more rich. It has nothing to do with helping Americans.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
