Another ass kisser who needs to see the door or maybe even hear it shut loudly behind him — as in cell door. Hia buddy Trump and a few others should partake of the same melody.

Sardonic poetry: MAGA country turns out in droves for Trump, waving flags and chanting his name, but when disaster strikes, he’s more likely to hand them a mop than a federal check. Take Arkansas-Trump-loving, red as can be, and home to his former press secretary, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. After tornadoes tore through the state, Sanders had to practically beg her old boss for help, only to get a cold shoulder and a FEMA denial letter. Turns out, Trump’s version of “America First” is more like “States, You’re On Your Own”-even if you voted for him three times.
The irony doesn’t stop there. In North Carolina, after Hurricane Helene, Trump’s team slashed the federal cost share for recovery, leaving the state to pick up a bigger tab just as families were trying to rebuild. Meanwhile, his administration is floating plans to make it even harder for any state to get disaster relief-quadrupling the threshold for aid and cutting support for things like parks and snowstorms. It’s like telling your most loyal fans, “Thanks for the votes, but don’t expect me to show up when your roof blows off.”
All this while Trump and his allies talk openly about dismantling FEMA altogether, as if natural disasters care who you voted for. MAGA may love Trump, but when the storm clouds roll in, it’s clear the feeling isn’t mutual. Maybe next time, they’ll ask for a signed photo instead of federal aid-it might be all they get.
After Trump is done with them, I hope they are NO longer SLOW learners.

The protests definitely need to continue. I'm sure that is a large part of what is helping the Trump favorability numbers plummet.

Trump Is Arresting Judges Because The Final Pillar Of His Presidency Is Crumbling
Trump is using power grabs and distractions, but the last issue that he had any popularity on is immigration and that has turned against him.
Apr 26
Donald Trump has seen the country turn against him and his policies at warp speed. Earlier in the week, a Fox News poll found that immigration was the last remaining issue where Trump had a positive approval rating.
According to the recent New York Times/Sienna College poll, that issue is gone too. A majority of Americans (51%) now disapprove of Trump’s handling of immigration.
Beyond immigration, Americans think that Trump has gone too far on a wide variety of issues in the latest New York Times poll:
- 61 percent of voters, including 33 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to impose tariffs without authorization from Congress.
- 54 percent, including 26 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to eliminate programs enacted by Congress.
- 63 percent, including 40 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to deport legal immigrants who have protested Israel.
- 73 percent of voters, including 56 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to send American citizens to prison in El Salvador, as Mr. Trump has threatened to do.
Americans don’t like what Trump is doing to the government, the economy, the immigration system, and virtually everything else.
The country has never seen its people turn on a president and his agenda so soon into his term.
All presidencies derive their power from the notion of the bully pulpit and the ability of a president to potentially rally the public to their cause.
Trump doesn’t have a bully pulpit, and the American people are rallying against him, which explains why he has chosen to act like a dictator by doing things like having judges arrested.
A president who doesn’t have a mandate and is facing real-time rejection from a majority of the people can’t use the normal channels of a democracy as their source of power, so Trump is trying to take what the American people do not want him to have.
What is happening is a tug of war between Trump and the American people. When Trump tries to use excessive and unconstitutional power, the people push back.
Polls like the NYT polls are warnings. Trump is being warned to change course. If he refuses to do so, the next step that the voters will take will be at the ballot box, where they will strip power from Trump by taking away all or part of his congressional majority.
Outside of his base, Trump literally doesn’t have an issue to stand on, which is why he is turning to authoritarian means to affirm his power.
He has lost a great deal of ground this time around and quite quickly, only just now getting to the first 100 days. In some ways this for many presidents (although I do see Orange felon as an imposter to the job) would be somewhat celebratory and Trump is having to find ways to be more mean, nastier, pushier and despicable. He needs to intimidate more because too many people are giving him the proverbial finger.
Even those who voted for him and likely many who are just waiting (a lot of those could be in House and Senate as we speak) for the right time to start to back away. I do wonder how much farther he will try to push. We are still awaiting a definite red line. I do think the tougher he tries to get the more un-happy and un-willing people will be and the more the push-back will come from them. I do think in the end there will be more of us, than those willing to stand behind Trump.

Pam Bondi's 'dirty laundry' will come out followng DOJ arrest of judge: ex-US attorney

Attorney General Pam Bondi may come to regret approving and then boasting about the arrest of a Wisconsin judge on Friday for allegedly trying to shield an immigrant from being scooped up by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) outside her courtroom.
That is the opinion of ex-U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance who appeared on MSNBC Saturday morning to poke holes in the DOJ's case against Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, with Vance calling the arrest outrageous and unlikely to lead to a conviction.
Speaking with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Vance lambasted Bondi for running to Fox News to hype up the arrest where she told hosts, "We are going to prosecute you, and we are prosecuting you. I found out about this the day it happened. We could not believe, actually, that a judge really did that. We looked into the facts in great depth… You cannot obstruct a criminal case. And really, shame on her. It was a domestic violence case of all cases, and she's protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime."
According to Vance, the arrest, with the judge photographed being taken into custody in handcuffs had little to do with "protecting a criminal defendant" than it did as a warning to other judges to not buck Donald Trump's policies.Noting that the DOJ report on the arrest was at odds with what Bondi was claiming, the former prosecutor claimed it will likely come back to haunt the attorney general doing Trump's dirty work.
"This is all in violation of very clear DOJ policy," Vance accused. "You're not permitted in a case of an indictment or a complaint to go to the press and talk about anything that's not in the four corners of the document, because it prejudices the defendant's rights."
"We will probably see a motion to dismiss this case outright," she then asserted before continuing, "If this was a normal Justice Department. Pam Bondi, [FBI director] Kash Patel, anybody else who was talking about this case on national TV would be referred to the Office of Professional Responsibility for disciplinary action"
"This is not a functional Justice Department," she added. "So the dirty laundry will come out in the wash in these proceedings, where the facts just don't add up."

First he turns up wearing blue which is off code for an important funeral an then he sleeps through it. He did insist on sitting in front or he would not come. So, rather than the third row back where few could see the great rule breaker — he gets to quietly sleep for the camera's
Does make me wonder what he thinks when he sees these pictures of himself — or maybe these are the ones his keepers don't show him.

Summary
The host argues that right-wing politicians, MAGA media, and neoliberal elites keep power by systematically dehumanizing women, immigrants, Palestinians, Black Americans, and other marginalized groups; this erosion of empathy distracts voters from overwhelmingly popular progressive economic demands and normalizes cruelty that enriches the powerful.
- Dehumanization is a deliberate psychological tool that turns public anger away from corporate exploitation and toward scapegoated communities.
- Trump’s branding of immigrants as “rapists,” Israel’s portrayal of Palestinians as less than human, and police narratives about “dangerous” Black people all follow the same playbook.
- Media misinformation machines perpetuate these myths, while progressive voices must counter them with patience, facts, and human stories, rather than ridicule.
- Even many self-identified progressives unwittingly harbor misogyny, racism, or xenophobia; dismantling those biases requires intentional personal work.
- Building durable solidarity means centering on shared material struggles, such as low wages and unaffordable healthcare, while refusing to let cultural wedge issues fracture the majority.
A just society rejects scapegoating and stands up for the full humanity of every neighbor. Progressives must lead by exposing dehumanizing rhetoric, amplifying stories of mutual aid across lines of race and nation and organizing around the bread-and-butter policies that the vast majority already supports.
Dehumanizing groups of Americans have allowed Trump, Maga, and Neoliberals to take Power.
This is from Egberto Off The Record.
I felt like the meat of the whole thing was in the summary which is why that is all I put in. Trump and the Reps. and all their enablers are very good at diversifying measures, with so much chaos thrown in that soon you have no idea what is really happening. No wonder people just go to believing rather than checking.
