    Ohe hopes because he has pulled in so many criminals, and we are being totally ripped off. This should be adjugated now.

    Hmm, silly question about how she is worth that much money. Go to Congress, become a millionaire. Seems its nice work if you can get it and likely even better if you've no conscience.

    For how long we had no issues on this. Trump comes along and manufactures a problem and here we are.

    And now we find out if the Supreme court can get Trump to behave — or have they too left his leash a bit too long.

    What kind of sense does that make. Having a birth certificate with your MARRIED name. You weren't born married.

    House Republicans just rammed through a budget that’s honestly infuriating. They’re gutting Medicaid by a jaw-dropping $880 billion over the next decade—yes, billion—while handing out massive tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. It’s like they’re saying, “Sorry, working families, your healthcare isn’t as important as making sure billionaires can buy another yacht.” And here’s the kicker: in Speaker Mike Johnson’s own Louisiana district, nearly 290,000 people—about 38% of the population—rely on Medicaid to survive. That’s one of the highest rates in the country, and yet he’s pushing cuts that would devastate his own constituents.

    Let’s break this down: Medicaid provides healthcare for 70 million people—kids, seniors in nursing homes, people with disabilities. Cutting it by over 10% means millions could lose coverage. Hospitals in rural areas could shut down. Families already struggling to make ends meet will be left with nowhere to turn. And for what? To keep Trump-era tax cuts alive for the richest Americans.

    It’s disgusting, honestly. They’re calling these cuts “reforms,” but let’s be real: this is about protecting the rich and powerful while throwing vulnerable Americans under the bus. This budget isn’t just cruel—it’s a slap in the face to anyone who believes the government should actually work for the people, not just the wealthy elite. 

    I'd love to see Karma get to this one real quick.

    And what can you do when the domestic enemy is a sitting president. It has to be all hands, not just one side.

    As reported by The New Republic, “Since taking office, Trump has spurred economic mayhem in the United States and abroad with his relentless flip-flopping on tariffs and perverse trade policy. On his so-called “Liberation Day,” Trump used national emergency powers to enact tariffs ranging from 10 to 60 percent on more than 90 nations, including an 84 percent tariff. A week later, he announced a 90-day reduction on most of the tariffs while ramping up those on China, leading to some of the most volatile fluctuations financial markets have seen in decades—not exactly the best way to gain consumer trust.”

    Their is a lot more to this but graphs and other things don't seem to come out right in my c and p, so I just took the last paragraph which basically tells the story. Between Trump and Musk tearing things to pieces and the tariffs (supposed to save us but will do everything but) that are here but then gone in the blink of an eye but is actually paused so it could re-appear at any time we can't no longer count on up or down, or much of anything. Chaos and my feeling is that this chaos is as much what Trump has always been about with the added twist that he is now creating inside of dementia. This is called "being up shit's creek".

    OPINION:

    Trump Babbles his Way through doing a bad job and the Polling proves we Know it.

    President Donald Trump is not well-liked, and, according to new polling, few Americans understand why anyone would approve of the job he’s doing.

    That makes sense when you consider he’s doing an objectively terrible job – see the ongoing tariffs fiasco, the status of your retirement account and the still-high cost of groceries – while routinely showing up on television babbling like a 78-year-old in mental decline.

    Opinion: Trump blinks on tariffs, proving what we already knew. He's a chicken.

    It is early in a president’s term to see such a negative favorability swing.

    One explanation may be that Trump is uniquely bad at being president, as evidenced by his illogical and old-timey insistence on tariffs. Since launching an unprovoked tariff assault on what he dumbly dubbed “Liberation Day,” the global trade order has been twisted into a pretzel, and U.S. markets have whiplashed from “wildly bad” to “somewhat better, but still quite bad.”

    Between making bad decisions, Trump says a lot of incoherent stuff

    Not helping the general panic is the fact that Trump continues to utter quotes like this on live television: “I said we're gonna try to get groceries down. Right? An old-fashioned term but a beautiful term. Eggs.”

    OK. Have we tried giving him a nap?

    In a recent Cabinet meeting, he babbled something about companies building their own power plants with artificial intelligence: “We're letting people build their own power plants. A lot of them being built with the AI and beyond the AI. Chips. We're letting them build their own power. Never been done before.”

    MAGA Beekeeper Says Trump Destroyed His Business

    Farm around and find out.

    Apr 12

    Dear Humans,

    Meet Jim Hartman, a North Carolina beekeeper who voted for Donald Trump three times. Both DOGE and Trump’s tariffs are destroying Jim’s business and for some reason, the fool is surprised.

    “I never thought I was going to lose this much money this fast.” - Moron who ignored every warning like a moth to a flaming red hat.

    1. DOGE Cost Him $150,000 Overnight

    Jim runs Secret Garden Bees. A third of his business relied on a federal honey program that sold to food banks and schools. That’s right, yet another “small-government” Republican quietly cashing in on government welfare.

    Thanks to Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” the USDA abruptly killed the program.

    “For me, you know, it’s going to cost me around $150,000 a year, roughly 50 percent of my revenue. That’s a massive hit.” - said the man who voted for this because he liked all the bigotry.

    2.“Stuff like this is pushing me left.”

    And the other part of the hit? Trump’s tariffs.

    Jim buys his bottles from Taiwan and corks from Portugal.

    “We just bought our year’s supply... that would have been another $50,000 or $60,000 out of my pocket.”

    This is a small business. That’s not a sting. That’s a full-blown colony collapse.

    Yet even after losing half his income, Jim told CNN:

    “I don’t blame Trump personally... it’s the people he’s appointed and the way they’re going about things.”

    He doesn’t blame Trump personally?! Pure insanity. These people are Morons with a capital M.

    That said, in a separate interview with The Wall Street Journal, Jim said:

    “Stuff like this is pushing me left.”

    Pushing you left? Does Donold have to personally burn your farm down and shit on the ashes? What would it take to get you all the way left? FFS, Jim.

    3. God’s Final Word

    This week God sadly lost a paid subscriber for focusing on hysterically ironic stories just like this one. They said:

    Neither am I, generally. I do make exceptions for people who voted for Trump, obviously. Clutch thy pearls if thou must, but God has always had an excellent sense of humor.

    Lo, I say unto you: do not pity guys like Jim. He was just fine with supporting a convicted felon-rapist-racist-fascist lunatic to “own the libs.” He’s fine with mass deportations. He’s fine with all of it. But now that Trump is hurting him, suddenly he’s upset.

    Excuse me, but God finds that hilarious.

    I could not clean up the above entry exactly like I wanted too, ggrrrrr, but I did want you to see it. How many other people who have suddenly discovered how much they are losing with Trump is likely a whole heck of a lot.

    My question after reading this was just how many of that whole lot MIGHT still not be blaming Trump. So what in holy hell do they think he is doing. Even IF it were people around him, it would be his job to STOP them and obviously he is not doing that. My jaw dropped to the floor when I read this and is making a very slow return. I am really, really shocked.

    All those people so easily blamed Pres. Biden for what they were led to believe were negative items that were wrecking economy (never mind it was lovely in comparison to Trump's) and were not blaming anyone else but him back in the day. And suddenly now it is not TRUMP but others around him. Since when did all these others get the say-so only a President (not that the orange nitwit was ever or ever could hope to be such a thing), has, and it certainly was that way just a short while ago when we did have a sane, rational, w/o dementia Pres. Biden there. I couldn't believe my eyes and think I will be reeling for a while.
