The GOP and the MAGA nuts, Bob Costas refers to them as the ‘brain less and the spineless, keep whining about wanting to fight the election based on the candidates plans for the country. But the Trump camp has no plans, just grievances. A platform, what the MAGA nuts are talking about, has never been part of the Republican roadmap. Their so-called platform has always been whatever Trump was pissed-off about at any given moment. And, since he hasn’t the ability to hold a thought for more than a few minutes, that platform was changed forty times a night. So, what the hell are the MAGA nuts really whining about? What are they really saying? In its final form it’s really simple. We love Trump. Trump loves Trump. What’s good enough for The Donald is good enough for us, so vote Trump.
That may be good enough for the MAGAs, but the world needs a hell of a lot more than a criminal sociopath to lead it, and that’s all Trump’s got. Time to face that.

Senator J D Vance of Ohio was on This Week trying to find any excuse for Trump’s abhorrent behavior. When he was asked if his support of Trump included protecting his criminal sexual behavior, Vance’s response was to twist the answer to prosperity, as if better economic circumstances would somehow make it okay to sexually abuse women. The reality is, not having Trump in office of any kind would be the greatest boon to protecting women’s rights. Trump has made his views of women and sexuality abundantly clear.
Vance adds that these outlandish violations of women’s rights and privacy are not what we want to fight the 2024 election on. Wrong! This is exactly what we want to fight the election on. Putting a pig with Trump’s moral fiber in the White House is catastrophic on every basis but especially on how we expect a President to act toward women.

Krysten Sinema clearly explained the bi-partisan Immigration Bill on Face the Nation on Sunday. Now the ball is in Mike Johnson’s court. Will he withhold support because it will help Joe Biden’s cause even though it is essential to the nation? Probably, but that’s just the GOP way. The sooner voters understand this, the sooner they will vote these snarks out of office and give Biden a friendly congress.
The only way we will ever be able to get stuff passed like, money for Ukraine and Israel to fight, and more money for the orderly control of our borders, is to get the current crop of know nothing, non-functional clowns out of congress and replace them with those whose policies support the needs of the nation.

So, it finally happened, the nutty Mid-East militias led by fanatics who have no concept of any overall picture, finally pulled the trigger on the wrong target, and killed three American soldiers. Did Iran pick these targets or were the local commanders responsible? Not important. What is important is whether or not Iran has real control of these militias because if this kind of poking the bear continues, it will eventually bring on massive U.S. retaliation, to which Iran may have to respond. No one wants this.
The truth be known, the United States doesn’t want any part of Middle East wars or the Middle East itself. For all the trouble it causes, the Middle East is militarily insignificant. We have real wars to worry about in Ukraine and potentially in the South China Sea. Outfits like Hamas, for all the trouble they cause with attacks like their one on Israel just aren’t militarily significant enough to bring about real change, at least not the kind they seek. Sure, they caused terrible chaos, brought about the near complete demolition of Gaza, and gave the militias an excuse to do what they were built to do, cause a little death and destruction, but they didn’t appreciably weaken Israel and they almost completely lost control of Gaza.

Is the economic war over? Has China finally lost to the U.S.? Yes, but that doesn’t mean it will stay that way.

The jobs numbers this month have been a complete slam dunk. Even super conservative economist, Larry Kudlow, was forced to admit that Biden’s leadership of the economy has been outstanding. But all the polls show Trump is leading Biden by a strangely significant margin. People keep saying that it’s great that wages are going up, but they also want prices to go down. That’s impossible. If wages go up, prices must also go up in order to cover the increase in wages. That’s just capitalism. If you don’t understand that you’re too stupid to vote.

The GOP lost the vote to impeach Alexander Mayorkas. Sure, it was a bullshit impeachment, but they fought to get it with no evidence of any kind, and they got what they deserved… a loss. Marjorie Taylor Greene had made a big deal of publicly telling Mayorkas that he was going to be impeached. Now Mayorkas can tell her to stick it.
But Greene wasn’t satisfied to make a horses-ass of herself once, she had to go for “asshole of the month” with a denouncement of the vote because the Democrats cheated. That’s right folks, the Dems cheated, they actually voted. Representative Al Green of Texas left the hospital after a stomach operation to vote down the impeachment. It’s fascinating how someone who exists by the principal of cheating, as does Taylor-Greene, can find it so easily everywhere else.
Mike Johnson our pathetic Speaker of the House looked sick to his stomach as he announced the failed vote, but he had more sour stuff to swallow as the Republicans failed to pass their own funding bill for Israel. But it’s not over yet. The House will probably fail to pass a border bill today, which will leave Israel and Ukraine without funding for their war efforts against Hamas and Russia.
Its amazing how what was once the Party of America has degenerated into something that supports the Communist hordes of Russia and a bunch of Arab scumbags who murder children and rape women.
It’s truly incredible how one criminal degenerate can manage to transform an entire political party from patriots to punks simply by appealing to their worst instincts.

House Committee’s Special Investigator, Robert Hur, came to the final conclusion that there was nothing in what President Biden did with classified documents that would put him in the same criminal category as Donald Trump and the way Trump handled the classified documents that were in his care. But Hur is a hardcore Republican so he couldn’t just let it drop with the end of the investigation. He had to throw out a few lines about Biden being old and forgetful. Joe obviously didn’t like it, so he tore the fool a new one in a press conference that was allowed to get out of control with reporters screaming questions at the President and him trying to make sense out of a jumbled mess.
However, one thing established, was that he is perfectly capable of debating with the stumbling, fact-less Trump. In fact, he would in all instances bury him.
