At least in the blue states. The Feds kill another American citizen.
At first they got rid of the worst of the worst or so they said. Then they went after the farm and hotel workers, the bricklayers and the chefs. Now they're just targeting American protesters of their operations to send a message. The Trump Administration is like organized crime. If the DOJ is corrupt who will investigate who will prosecute? Will Bondi, Noem, Homan, Trump et al. all wind up in the Hague someday?
Some have even been spotted as far away as Minnesota The Trump Era suddenly giving off 60s/70s vibes.
Homan's Boys now happily violating the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution with their midnight battering rams. Vance to visit Minneapolis soon. Maybe he can observe how agents are now holding people down and tear- gassing them directly in their eyeballs. Post about how patriotic they are on X. What would Norman Rockwell think?
Queue Kate Smith and "God Bless America."
Never a slow news day under Trump. How long how long oh Lord before we return to normal governance? Stocks rebounded after Trump said he won't take Greenland by force but he did say Iceland a few times at the WEF. Despite the country and world being in total turmoil guy at work just likes to talk about the weather. Nurses on strike in NYC. Don't get sick here.
My friend is very political. He's also a heavy Trumper. Driving him home yesterday and apropos of nothing he goes "Democratic socialist scumbags." He'd be right at home over at that other place. Then he asked me what I thought about Greenland (I just love talkin' politics after a hard day at work). Basically I said there's nothing wrong with having an offer on the table. You can always join us no pressure, the offer is always open but where I draw the line is I'm against military threats against Greenland and attacking and invading them. So then my Trump friend talked about (he really should be posting over at that other blog), he started talking about China and Russia doing stuff up there and Putin maybe put something in the bottom of the Arctic Ocean (my friend an expert on everything). Went over my head. Then my friend said two or three times that Trump must have some access to some kind of secret intelligence, some critical info the rest of us don't have. This is the way the true Trump cultists defend him. Trump is like God. His ways may be inscrutable but trust him and his wisdom. Trump moves in mysterious ways or maybe he's just a dick.
Anonymous has revealed that Republicans are ready willing and able to impeach Trump and remove him from office if he continues to threaten Greenland. Attacking Greenland a NATO ally would violate treaties and defense agreements. Germany and France already sending troops up there to defend her. You can't make this shit up.
There really should be a 1-800 help hotline for the Trump cultists. Leave now before it's too late.
Deep thinker, philosopher and right-wing podcaster Megyn Kelly has formed a theory which began as a brain fart but which she is now putting on the table as a serious contribution to the national debate over the ongoing events in Minneapolis MN. She now says that the ICE protesters aren't having enough SEX and talks about all the fat unattractive women with multiple piercings in the anti-ICE crowds. Thoughts - Megyn Kelly has staked out an early position on that tragic ICE shooting of Renee Good, staked it out from the get-go and is sticking with it but I am also beginning to form my own theory here. Megyn Kelly is secretly attracted to ICE agents some kind of thug fetish going on. It rings her bell. The masked anonymous ICE agent, the super manly and patriotic Defender of the Homeland. The 50 Shades of Megyn Kelly.
I thought I was gonna have nothing to talk about today. You go girl! Throwing your sisters under the bus. (Is that Megyn moaning?)
Might be of limited interest to readers with all the big things happening but I have kind of formed an opinion now of the Better Business Bureau. This blog has toggled back and forth between basically All Things Trump and my bad online shopping experience with SHEIN. The finer details are in previous posts. Filed a complaint with the BBB and this thing went back and forth for a few weeks. SHEIN places almost the whole burden on the consumer to in effect basically somehow proving your lost parcels went to the wrong address. Lost about $500 to them which they won't refund. The BBB concluded the matter today informing me that they feel SHEIN acted in good faith and addressed my concerns. There were no real offers from SHEIN or compromises even so the BBB couldn't even get me a half result.
My newer view now of the Better Business Bureau is they are probably fine for informational purposes only but lacking any real enforcement powers they shouldn't be in the mediation business at all. In my modest view they're an overrated organization. My sister made the point Trump should go after online retailers like SHEIN and stuff like that and I agreed Trump would be better if he did just a few minor useful things for most people rather than the stupid epic things he's doing now so tangent back into politics if you wish.
Things are not normal in the Trump Era. The quality of our institutions are not what they used to be. The Better Business Bureau. Pretty much a paper tiger. It's like the bad retailers don't even fear them anymore. Shop at home. Go local;)
Normally if you saw this you'd call the cops. Oh they are the cops. Will Homan's Heroes be liable for damages? That ain't cheap. Some kind of rage issues going on. Might we call them oh I don't know domestic terrorists?
Pondering the dichotomy here. The Iranian regime's crackdown on anti-government protesters at last count 2,500 dead. Trump weighing his military options and knowing Trump he will probably do something and truthfully I would not shed a tear for the mullahs. Over here state-sanctioned violence against anti-ICE protesters. Not getting the dissonance. A growing number of DOJ federal prosecutors are resigning over the direction of the probe into the killing of Renee Nicole Good. Fringe righties though still defending it even as Rogan and some other podcasters who used to support Trump are condemning it. Maybe Megyn Kelly will dance with Trump some day to some nice Nazi waltz music in the new WH ballroom. Apparently if I understand correctly the new training period for new ICE recruits is no longer 5-6 months but 47 days in honor of Trump being the 47th president. Iranian regime bad Trump regime good.
You can't make this shit up:)
He wants to invade Greenland still. His military generals are resisting him. The Maduro regime in Venezuela is still largely intact. Hardly a regime change. Not sure what was accomplished there. Trump sending hundreds of more federal agents to MN. What a way to quell and de-escalate the situation. DHS Sec'y Kristi Noem doubling down on the murder of Renee Good. Viral videos of ICE agents bothering people at gas stations and McDonald's. Trump's maniacal obsession with illegal immigration although an important issue not the most important issue facing the country right now imo. Trump definitely has OCD in addition to his other myriad mental disorders. You can't get rid of every illegal immigrant. At any rate whatever approach you favor it should be done calmly and professionally. For the record I don't favor mass deportations but Obama deported about 3 million without all the social chaos the Trump Administration is causing. Nobody died horrific deaths as I recall.
Big blue wave come the mid-terms.
Despite everything that's been going on and I don't recall anything as horrific as this happening during the Obama years. Obama the deportation king at around 3 million. Biden did his fair share too only they didn't talk about it much. This is why Trump consigliere Stephen Miller has them hitting burrito stands and Home Depot they're not reaching goal. So I was thinking about the physics of the situation. ICE cop stands purposely in front of Renee Good's SUV and she has to take off from a totally dead stop what's the maximum amount of speed she could have reached anyway? I didn't really understand that new (ai?) bodycam video Trump put out. Supposed to be a bombshell. Megyn Kelly all over it. Kind of a nothing burger in terms of justifying the agents. Maybe Hannity can deconstruct it for us.
Wisdom for today. It's better to let an ICE agent drag you out of your car and beat you up than try to take off.
State-sanctioned violence against even American citizens. Trump is tearing apart the social fabric of this once great nation and it's by design. It appears ICE actively recruits psychopaths. Talking of course about that fatal ICE shooting of that Minneapolis woman in her SUV. You see these goons coming up to your vehicle you might panic too. DHS whore Kristi Noem says she tried to run over an ICE agent. Trump echoed this on his social media. The videos and there are many show nothing of the kind. The International Criminal Court or the ICC already probing Trump's border policies especially its family separation policy. Trump is flooding the zone. His international war crimes on the front pages the last few days and the ongoing rogue activities of ICE. Weren't we just talking about the Trump/Epstein Files? Change the subject.
Read somewhere the ICC might prosecute Trump and his senior officials once his term is over. See you in the Hague;)
I watch a lot of podcasters on YouTube and one podcaster subbing for another podcaster proposed that since we already have Trump Derangement Syndrome or TDS perhaps we can have the opposite disorder or Trump Worship Syndrome (TWS). I like it. These are not MAGA-ites as I said in my last post. Jon Stewart makes that mistake. With the remaining remnant of Trump supporters there are no consistent guiding political or philosophical principles. They simply support unwaveringly everything that comes out of the chaos of Trump's mind. He's just trying to do the right thing and the media and the Left are relentlessly attacking him. Tom Homan is really a big ole soft teddy bear who has a job to do. You're anti-Trump? What do you hate the country or something?
The folk suffering from TWS they know who they are.
Elite sex predators even further down. Trump is now running two countries. How does he find the time? Rubio wants to attack Cuba next and I thought he was the rational one. Rubio is lousy at news interviews then again he has to defend the indefensible. BTW whatever happened to the Pete Hegseth double tap scandal? Like two day news item. Then Trump consigliere Stephen Miller says we have the right to take Greenland. I think half the Administration is composed of psychos.
I don't think Trump sleeps all that much. He has the endless energy of a sociopath. BTW what is Lindsey Graham so giddy about? Re narco-terrorism the interesting thing here is that narco-terrorists aren't forcing Americans to do drugs. Me? I prefer the Christian Brothers to take the edge off a rough day. One of the charges against Maduro in the indictment is that he had machine guns. Like well DUH.
We're living in weird times.
President Trump has betrayed MAGA not the other way around. Trump has betrayed MAGA most notably on foreign policy to wit no foreign interventions and no regime change wars. America First NOT Israel First. Trump is a war criminal at this point. He invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president Nicolas Maduro and his wife and now claims to be in charge and running that country. This was never really about drugs but all about OIL. The indictment against Maduro and his wife doesn't even mention fentanyl. The rest of the Venezuelan government is still largely intact and Trump has threatened an even more brutal attack if the lady VP over there doesn't comply. Venezuelan paramilitary forces everywhere. Sound familiar? Boots on the ground would mean guerilla warfare = quagmire for years. Now Trump has his sights set on Cuba and possibly Greenland an important NATO ally. So far the military is obeying Trump's every illegal order. Thorny issue. They might want to reconsider that or be held to account somewhere down the road. Putin has made his chess move saying release Maduro now. China the same. MAGA has already abandoned the POTUS in droves. What remains are those few remaining supporters and loyalists. That's not MAGA. They're beyond MAGA. Now we're talking cult territory. Weren't we just talking about the Trump/Epstein Files like a few days ago?
Donald J. Trump. Madman on the world stage.
Any country can file a motion. However with America's military might probably won't go anywhere. War crime charges have already been filed against Bibi by the ICC and he's still happily conducting his little genocide with our help btw. The other avenue is impeachment and that's very unlikely to happen. Turns out Trump if you read the news reports was really after Venezuela's vast oil reserves all along. Most fentanyl comes from Mexico. Don't confuse me with the facts though.
Yet another distraction from the Trump/Epstein Files. Glad Anonymous is exposing Mr. Trump on YouTube though. Just wish they'd get rid of those silly masks.
The little ones anyway. Trump bombed Caracas the capital of Venezuela and captured Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife. An act of naked aggression. What are they gonna do with Maduro have him scrub toilets? Hegseth is like the neighborhood psycho who finally grew up and got himself into a position of power. Will Trump someday join his BFF Bibi in the docket at the ICC? The man is out of control. I'd like to see him capture Putin, Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping. Trump - a big man with tiny balls.
Two reasons for Trump's downfall IMHO. He entered his second term in full combat mode mad at half the world. WHY? Secondly he's not the intellectual type. He doesn't mull things over, calmly weigh the pros and cons but just forges ahead in his own stupidity. The tariffs are a perfect example. He's turned into a joyless prick and his Cabinet reflects that. Homan is like something out of a horror movie. Will he exhume the illegal dead? OK so the latest is Trump doesn't want Southeast Colorodans to have clean drinking water. Unanimous bill passed by the Congress, a pipeline project but he's getting back at CO Rep. Lauren Boebert over the Epstein Files. In a phone call to MTG he railed that full disclosure would hurt his friends. What kind of friends does he have anyway? I personally don't know any sexual predators do you? What kind of social circle is that? Everyone's a perv?
You can't impeach somebody for being an asshole but I'm sure there are grounds for something. Either that or Republicans get reamed and cleaned in the mid-terms.
I generally don't make them but going forward no online shopping for me. Would have to be an absolutely necessary purchase like if I ever feel the need to get a hearing aid but other than that I'm done. There are two groups of SHEIN customers. The first group are people who never had a problem with them and the second group are former customers who had to deal with Customer Service. I'm thinking maybe the UPS Claims Dept. is partially driven by ai although I don't know this. Might explain some things. Something hasn't been right since Trump got elected. Maybe it's the tariffs. SHEIN is a Chinese company so why should they give their American customers refunds? Just a theory.
We're a nation of compulsive shoppers. Probably half the people in Target don't really need anything. You always see them coming out of the store with plastic storage containers. Credit card debt in this country is at an all-time high. What's up with people always passing you on the escalators? Everyone's in such a hurry. My mother used to have a saying about such people. What are they in a hurry to get to their grave?
It's gonna snow? Go to Home Depot and get another shovel. You already have five.
