Right-wing influencers love Trump more than the base does

The base is adrift over Epstein, Iran and the genocide in Gaza.  MTG has threatened to leave the party.  Meanwhile on my YouTube feed the right-wing influencers like Megyn Kelly are more in love with Trump than ever.  In the meantime Trump is going to meet with his BFF Putin in Alaska.  Trump feels Zelensky should cede Crimea to Russia.  This would be like if we gave a part of Poland to Hitler.  Trump's second term is so strange he wants to treat the country to a third term.

You have now entered the political Twilight Zone

 The weird Trump cult continues.  No special requirements.  No need to graduate from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.  Homan will train you.  Just a willingness for a patriotic 14-year old boy to beat up his neighbor.

You Can't Make This Shit Up.  An ongoing series. 

Why the Epstein Files matter

 OK so Trump's name is on the List.  According to the WSJ Bondi told him this some time ago.  A fairly common reaction I'm seeing though is why does it matter?  I'm seeing this at some conservative blogs I peruse from time to time like the Left is using this against Trump and that's all it is but the Democratic chef at work yesterday who hates Trump with a passion also said he's tired of hearing about Epstein and everyone knows he cheated so what does it matter?  There's some serious conflation going on here.  People are putting this on the same level as if Trump made numerous visits to the Playboy Mansion and played polo ponies with Hef and made business deals in the grotto.  Epstein/Maxwell involved sex trafficking of underage girls on a mass scale which by definition involves lack of consent.  It's like I remember some comedian I forget the name and he made fun of what he called Japanese creepy porn and said they look like they're not enjoying themselves.  So with Epstein we were not dealing with high-priced consenting escorts but very young girls probably under duress.

Tired of the Epstein Files?  You risk looking like a perv.  It matters.  The Left had nothing to do with it.  The deification of Trump is weird and cultlike.  We like to deal with facts here.

Trump promises to flood the zone in NYC with ICE

 Just what we need more drama and social unrest courtesy of Hardass Homan and it's gonna get hot too.  It's amazing that they got rid of all the criminal aliens already.  The worst of the worst all gone.  Geeez that was quick!  Now they can focus on the regular aliens.  Mexicans with string trimmers, taco stands, fence installers, gardeners and landscapers, hotel and restaurant workers, construction sites.  Who knows where they'll be sent to.  Some Aleutian island?  BTW what's a Cuban person gonna do in Africa?  Wondering who does the Homan Estate?

Chronic moral insufficiency

 Homan bankrupting small farmers in CA through the ongoing ICE raids.  The majority of the field workforce gone in many cases.  The migrant farm workers have either been arrested or are afraid to report to work.  Skilled laborers.  Fruit rotting on the vines.  You I'll be paying more for produce in the near future.  Agriculture Sec'y promises automation and putting Medicaid workers to work in the fields or something like that it's confusing.  As ICE is obviously afraid to go after the criminal aliens we might soon be left with some sort of imbalance.  After Homan's work is finally done they might be the only ones left after all the hard-working law-abiding ones have been deported.  Hannity and Charlie Kirk will be able to afford a bag of cherries.  You won't. 

Welcome to Trump's dystopia.

Trump wants DOJ to reveal what Epstein had for breakfast

 Always skirting the issue.  He has asked Pam Bondi to release the grand jury transcripts in the Jeffrey Epstein case even though nobody asked for that.  The Guardian reports that Trump and Epstein were BFFs for 15 years and the WSJ says Trump once sent him a racy card for his birthday.  Other than that they were barely acquaintances.  Trump wants to sue the WSJ btw.  What else is new.

Don't cry for me Maurene Comey.  Daughter of former FBI head James Comey the DOJ has fired her as a federal prosecutor.  She did a half-assed job in the Diddy case.  Not gonna lose sleep.

Trump wants to re-open the legendary Alcatraz to the tune of $2 billion.  Where is the money gonna come from out of his ass?

The surreal Trump Administration continues......

Can Homan and Hannity be deported to Iceland?

 Homan is a scary dude.  Imagine going home and finding him in your closet.  The next Halloween mask?  So according to the Washington Post there's an internal ICE memo circulating to send some illegals to countries where they're not even citizens.  But doesn't this increase illegal immigration in those countries because they're not even citizens there?  So the cycle perpetuates itself.  Stupid me and my dictionary definitions I thought to deport someone meant to send them back to their home country from which they came.  The Homan game plan only complicates matters immeasurably.  Are atolls in the Pacific included?  Makes no sense.  I don't even think ICE goes after real criminals because they're afraid.  Leave that to real law enforcement.  Oh Trump and Noem will say they do but I think they're more comfortable harassing random undocumented people on farms and in the street.  Basically a rogue agency that Dr. Phil is in love with.  Bunch of amateurs who look like they were just hired walking around in neck gaiters in 95 degree weather surrounding and bothering people.

Any ideas where we can send Charlie Kirk?

The media is weirdly uninterested in Jeffrey Epstein

 I get news updates on my devices of course and being a busy man I often just scan them.  A quick perusal however seems to show much of the MSM taking the position of the Trump Administration on the matter of the Jeffrey Epstein Files.  MAGA is in a major rift as you probably heard as what was promised was not delivered exactly.  The media is treating it all as just another fevered conspiracy theory from the Far Right but I would frame it somewhat differently.  Going forward are the customers or clients of a major sex trafficking ring now routinely to be let off the hook?  WHY?  Legit legal question.  Can't be that hard for the federal government to figure out who was in that customer base or at least some of the players.  Diddy too was recently brought to trial on running a sex trafficking ring as well.  He was pretty much acquitted on that but as a theoretical question why was no one else brought to trial just him?  Only the figureheads or alleged figureheads.  It's not the least bit conspiracy-minded to ask such questions.  The media like CNN is framing this as only MAGA cares.  It's time to stop controlling the narrative at the behest of the Trump Administration and just ask simple basic and logical questions.  That's all for today folks.

Strawberry Fields Forever

 ICE agents continue to chase migrants through the fields of farms in CA.  Don't know if this causes cancer but the whole thing gives off a Monty Python/Benny Hill kind of vibe.  No reports of the raping of cattle but the thought occurred maybe ICE is afraid to go after the real criminals.  Better to go after some Tufts University Muslim woman who wrote an op-ed critical of Israel for the student newspaper.  Maybe Charlie Kirk can afford $40 for a head of lettuce.  I can't. 

Continuing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein Non-Files.  The Justice Department would have you believe they were the Snapchat of sex trafficking.  Data just vanished after 10 seconds or so.  User profiles all gone.  Nada zilch zippo. Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino is thinking of resigning and Kash Patel might join him.  Homan is still going strong however.  It's clear the man enjoys his work.

You can't make this shit up;)

Trump doesn't grow beyond his base

 Bubble politics.  Might even be shrinking his base.  What is he just gonna chase immigrants his whole term?  Re the Epstein Files methinks he doth protest too much.  Red flags?

It's not a conspiracy theory it's just common sense

 Reading just now according to the FBI and DOJ there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list after all.  Does not exist.  Interesting.  A convicted sex trafficker with no johns or customers.  Not one name to be published not even some unknown millionaire.  How did Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell stay in business all those years running this criminal enterprise with no clients?  Trump Administration painting this as a conspiracy theory from the Right (turns on his own base when convenient) but it's not it's just logical.  No record keeping whatsoever?  I never engaged in wild speculation about who could be on the List just that I never heard of an organized criminal not keeping files of some sort.  Also why are they saying this now so late in the game but nothing of this sort was said at the beginning?  It's like they're bullshitting their way through.

Trump promised to drain the swamp.  He IS the swamp.  Perhaps the most corrupt Administration in history.

A busload of 'hos crossing state lines

 Diddy cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted of transportation of prostitutes.  Judge denied Diddy bail prior to sentencing.  Prosecutors now seeking about a 5 year sentence on the 'ho transportation.  Basically a show trial to what purpose?  Weak case.  Maybe Diddy can run for Mayor.

Trump - the social unrest president

 He just loves to agitate the population doesn't he.  Bypassing CA state and local government he sends in the National Guard to quell the LA riots/protests.  On top of that he sends in a few hundred Marines - the few the proud.  Folks are rightly upset over Homan's goon squads and their operations in LA and ICE protests have now gone coast to coast.  Trump wants American citizens to get used to a military presence in American cities.  He wants to set up a police, a military state that's what this is about.  An AI advanced surveillance system to go along with that and too many Americans are already willing to give up their rights and freedoms for added security and safety.  Govern me harder Daddy!

Maybe one of these days Trump will get around to tackling the cost-of-living but I doubt it.

The Orange Man loves the drama

 Trump has made it a cornerstone of his presidency that he hates the immigrants.  Biden deported his fair share of illegals to be sure, Obama even more but they never talked about it much or made a show of it.  Now the ICE Capades in LA and the accompanying protests some of them violent Trump has sent in the Nat'l Guard (w/the Marines as backup?).  Trump lives for these moments and they help define his presidency.  ICE has become a kind of rogue agency something you see in a bad action flick. No name badges.  Masks.  Kidnapped people in broad daylight at times.  Where's Jason Statham?  What are we a Third World country?  Trump and Homan - alpha males without the sex appeal.

Here's hoping the next presidency is a calmer administration.  We don't need the drama.

So I guess Trump is going to declassify the Epstein Files to show that he's not in it

 To put to bed finally once and for all the Musk allegations.  The list was already released but not the list list.  We don't really care about Jeffrey Epstein's plumber or electrician or all the celebs he hobnobbed with.  We want the List and so far Pam Bondi has not provided.

Bad blood between Trump and Musk.  Is Musk talking to any Democrats yet?

For those of you who can't get enough of the Trump feed

 Should it come to that Trump would consider all of the facts in a potential Diddy pardon.  So says the wire.  Potentially speaking of course as the trial is still going on.  The Framers put this in as a plenary power whatever the logic.  I'm guessing they figured in their founding fatherly wisdom the judicial branch can mess up too.  Don't just dump on Trump about this btw.  All the recent presidents issued their share of controversial pardons.  The question is if Diddy does get convicted but later pardoned by Trump will he celebrate with a freakoff?

Does James Comey want a restaurant to deny Trump service?

 Never short of something to blog about.  As you know former FBI Director James Comey posted something on FB (later deleted) that he was walking along the beach one day and found a sea shell configuration in the form of "8647."  Major controversy followed and the SS is currently investigating him for possibly calling for Trump's assassination.   In restaurant parlance to 86 someone is to deny them service.  Also bouncers in bars may have to 86 or remove someone.  Perhaps the most common interpretation is when the mob uses the term it means to take someone 8 miles out of town and put them 6 feet under.  Trump is of course the 47th president hence the sinister meaning of "8647."  Tulsi Gabbard wants Comey in jail over this.  Comey's a dick and Chris Wallace recently destroyed him in an interview over the whole Russiagate hoax.  He's as corrupt as they come but what do you make of all of this?

The X-rated Diddy trial

 Just talking about it might earn you an NC-17.  If I were to provide verbatim court transcripts this post might come with a warning for sensitive viewers.  Court TV is covering it in their own way of course but so far when I turn Court TV on during primetime they're not discussing Diddy as you'd expect but some other trial.  Court TV is a family show after all where they talk about serial killers and spousal murder.  I myself don't have the money to run freakoffs.  Hey Google didn't correct that word must be in the vernacular now.  I just want to make sure I have enough money to pay my energy bill so ConEd doesn't flicker my lights.

Some people feel he's gonna get off.  Weird sex is not a crime so long as there's consent.  I'm into vinegar.  Been buying tons of it to kill off poison ivy in my backyard.  Diddy likes the baby oil for his hobby.  It's I don't know not making a prediction here but he ain't livin' right.

A conclave and Nancy Grace will be in her glory

 Diddy trial to start any day now with jury selection still underway.  Don't know the questions the potential jurors get.  "Did you ever see the music video 'Hypnotize' with Biggie and Puffy?"  Got to thinking if I had even a fraction of Diddy's money uppermost for me would be major home improvement e.g. electric staircase going up into the attic with wifi and cupholders.  Telescope up there too.  Kitchen and bath remodel.  The backyard - Inground swimming pool, small Chinese garden/pond with exotic fish, some Greek statuary here and there.  It would never dawn on me to run a sex trafficking ring.  He ain't livin' right.

The Conclave - I don't follow the stuff.  Mainly older Italian guys with a few Africans thrown in the mix.  Keep getting videos in my YouTube feed about the last pope of the End Times but I don't get my theology from Mel Gibson.  You have your Catholics who are more into bingo and bake sales then you have your more eschatologically-minded Catholics who speculate about Antichrist stuff.  YouTube sends me things all the time I never searched for.  A gorilla fighting an alligator.  Clickbait.

So we got a couple of topics going.  A diversion from the usual Trump stuff.

We're proud of our mistakes

 So yeah on occasion the Homan trawlers do pick up the wrong fish, small fry swimming the wrong way.  The gay hairdresser, the Maryland father and who knows who else off to that notorious El Salvadoran prison.  This would be less controversial if the problem were fixed right away.  Say put the wrongly snagged in a hotel room for the night with a flight waiting for them in the morning.  Perhaps throw in a $100 MAGA gift card by way of apology.  Instead we get Trump standing with the Salvadoran dickhead saying they can't do anything about this.  Administrative errors.  Wrongly interpreted tattoos.  A Homan hunch.  Whatever.  MAGA zombies like Megyn Kelly see no problem while Rogan offered only some tepid criticism.  The WH Stepford press secretary.  100 Days of Chaos.

Don'tcha just hate the bureaucracy?
