Wonder what Joe’s cancer announcement will do to the books that are coming out? 86 them?

Another reason for no parade.

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.

Too bad the MAGAs don’t get this.

“Buy fewer dolls for Christmas.” = “Let them eat cake.” Remember what happened to the rich b*tch who said that? (Hint for low-IQ Drumpf voters: Marie Antoinette, then queen of France, said it. She was subsequently beheaded during the French Revolution.)

The people in the White House and the administration of that person in the White House are so freaking sick.

Donald Trump sinks to a horrifying new low as his administration reveals that they may produce a reality TV show pitting desperate immigrants against each other in a competition for U.S. citizenship.
And it gets so much worse…
According to The Wall Street Journal, television producer Rob Worsoff has been attempting to get the show off the ground since the Obama era but had little success selling the deeply dystopian idea.
Under the MAGA White House, that understandable aversion to such an exploitative idea is apparently thawing. Worsoff — who helped make Duck Dynasty, a popular show amongst right-wingers — told the Journal that he wants the citizenship show to be “hopeful and a celebration of what it means to be an American citizen.”
“This isn’t ‘The Hunger Games’ for immigrants,” Worsoff claimed although that’s exactly what it sounds like.
The Trump administration despises immigrants, demonizes them, and is engaged in a cruel mass deportation program. If they’re interested in this TV show, it can only mean that it shares the same fascist ethos.
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin revealed that she has spoken to Worsoff and that the administration is considering the idea. She said that it’s “in the very beginning stages of that vetting process.”
“Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval,” she added.
While Worsoff stated that he doesn’t know if MAGA Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem has “knowledge of his show idea” yet, it would be perfectly in keeping with her brand.
Noem works for a reality TV president and regularly poses in ICE raid videos and pictures with tactical gear and weapons, causing her critics to dub her “Fascist Barbie.”
At the same time, the White House is constantly pumping out AI images mocking migrants and smearing them all as MS-13 gang members and rapists. A reality show to monetize migrant suffering would be the next natural evolution of this disgusting ideology.
Even in the best case scenario, this show would result in some contestants winning and some losing, meaning that viewers would be tuning in to watch people’s dreams of American citizenship crushed.
If this idea doesn’t churn your stomach, you need to take a good hard look in the mirror. You might just see a fascist staring back.

In a stunning setback, House Republicans failed Friday to push their big package of tax breaks and spending cuts through the Budget Committee, as a handful of conservatives joined all Democrats in a stunning vote against it.
The hard-right lawmakers are insisting on steeper spending cuts to Medicaid and the Biden-era green energy tax breaks, among other changes, before they will give their support to President Donald Trump’s “beautiful” bill. They warn the tax cuts alone would pile onto the nation’s $36 trillion debt.
The failed vote, 16-21, stalls, for now, House Speaker Mike Johnson’s push to have the package approved next week. But the Budget Committee plans to reconvene Sunday to try again. Lawmakers vowed to negotiate into the weekend as Trump is returning to Washington from the Middle East.

“Something needs to change or you’re not going to get my support,” said Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas.
Tallying a whopping 1,116 pages, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, named with a nod to Trump, is teetering at a critical moment. Johnson is determined to resolve the problems with the package that he believes will inject a dose of stability into into a wavering economy.

More crazy rambling from the demented leader of the MAGAts.

“When you look at what’s happening with Russia and Ukraine the drone is killing tremendous numbers of people,” Trump said during a press conference in Doha, Qatar. “You hide behind a tree and the drone comes down and it circles you with fire. You don’t have a chance and the tree comes down also by the way.”
“It’s so intense the— I mean you see these trees being knocked down like…” he continued. “Like they’re being sawed down by a top of the line, uhh, timberman like… Like… You know who? Sean… Duffy.”
“Do you know that Sean Duffy, the head of the Transportation Department, who’s working right now on the airports and getting a system because Biden didn’t do a thing for four years and Pete Buttigieg was the head and he goes bicycling to work,” said Trump.
“He takes a bicycle to work, can you believe it? He’s head— He’s running the biggest air system in the world and he takes a bicycle to work. What a— And they say he’s going to run for president, I don’t see it.” Trump went on. “Who knows right? But I don’t see it.”
“But, uh, when I look at what they’ve done uh, it’s so horrible what they’ve done and the work they did do they wasted billions of dollars,” Trump went on. “They tried to hook up air systems to… To copper. They tried to hook up copper to glass and the glass doesn’t work with the copper and…”
“Uh they had 30,000 different contractors doing 30,000 jobs and when they put it all together they spent billions of dollars. It didn’t even come close to working and we’re going to be giving out a brand new system,” said Trump.
“It’s very important. We’ll have the best system. And we think we know who that system is but we have a lot of bidding,” he went on.
“But we want one check,” he continued. “We want a unified system. We don’t have, uh, 5,000 contractors and all different places, some digging ditches and some not doing ditches because they want to go by satellite. Satellite seems to be the way to go. We’re going to be giving that out pretty soon.”
“But what people don’t know about Sean cause I mentioned lumberjacks that Sean — you probably didn’t know this that uh — I’m not talking about this Sean, this Sean no, not, this is not… This is a different Sean,” Trump said.
“Sean Duffy, the head of Transportation. He’s a great Sean though, I have to tell you but Sean Duffy was the world champion for five years climbing trees and down, up and down, world champion!” Trump said, struggling to string together his thoughts. “So that’s what you call a serious a lumberjack.”
“And he’s doing a fantastic job too, a really respected guy and terrific guy and I mentioned the champion because when somebody’s the champion — he’s the world champion for a long time — he came down, when you come down those trees, coming down at a rapid… He said that started getting your back. You will often break your back! You… You miss… You miss a shot and you’re coming down a lot faster than the human body was meant to come down. But he’s doing a fantastic job at Transportation. But this has been a very, uh, historic trip.”
Imagine for a second if President Biden had delivered a speech as confused, nonsensical, and downright strange as this during a trip to a foreign country. Every news outlet would be questioning his mental health. Donald Trump is clearly in a state of profound psychological deterioration and Congress should take immediate action to remove him from office.

“No one gives someone a $400 million jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious,” the former U.S. first lady, secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate said on Wednesday.
That’s a voice of experience.

Yet, it doesn’t matter to MAGAs.

Qatar Signs Historic Deal to Own US President

Donald Trump has taken some bribes in his day, but this may be the most blatant.
Sure, he’s running a crypto scam right now.
Yes, he let Elon fund his campaign in exchange for basically running the government.
He may even have guaranteed drilling rights to oil executives in exchange for $1 billion.
But this most recent move makes all of that stuff look like misdemeanors.
He’s taking a $400 million plane from Qatar. You know, the country that successfully bribed FIFA so they could host the World Cup.
And the worst part? He said he’s going to keep the plane after he leaves office. It’s not even for the government. It’s for him.
What part of this is not a bribe?
His only defense? “Who turns down a free plane?” 
Have you been hanging around Clarence Thomas too much, Donald? Who turns down a briefcase full of cash? Who turns down luxury vacations? Who turns down a new car? It’s called a BRIBE. The President of the United States is taking a BRIBE. 
Trump is monetizing this position in ways we can’t even comprehend. Just like with his other moves, he’s screwing over the American people while helping himself. We have a lot more investigating to do, a lot more reporting to do, and most importantly, a lot more shaming to do. 
This isn’t even getting into the national security implications. It’s a $400 million Trojan Horse.

Not mention selling them billions of dollars in weapons and technology that they will use against us.

I do not understand how MAGAs can support a man who cozies up to terrorists and the people who masterminded the 9/11 attacks. He accepts gifts of nearly a 1/2 billion dollars from a country that supports Hamas and other terror groups and lifts sanctions against a country that subsidizes terrorists and had a journalist dismembered because he wrote something that the country’s leaders felt was derogatory. Justify this. Even the Republicans can’t.

I am the smartest guy in the room. I know more about everything than even the experts know. How was I supposed to know that Mattel wasn’t a country or a person. Who knows that kind of information?

Justify this.
