Trump sees his job as seeking revenge and burning America to the ground for his boss Vlad Putin.

[Botany]

Trump and Musk don’t give one shit about conflicts of interest, laws, what
is good for the American people, or the people of world or the planet. Except
for the super rich and oligarchs. They thrive on misinformation especially
Russian misinformation which Fox News and the like are happy to push such
as vaccines are bad for you, the threat from transgender people, and if you
question the election you’re a conspiracy theorist. Google France, Musk, and
the GRU.

The Sec. of Education knows nothing about education and her enterprise of pro wrestling
literally has killed @ least 100 of its “stars.” Her job is to kill the department of education.

The new A. G. took a 25 K bribe from Trump in 2013 as Florida’s A.G. not to investigate Trump U.
and her first ruling as Attorney General was not to investigate any foreign interference into
our elections.

The new head of our intelligence is a Russian asset.

The new Sec. of Defense just told Russia they can keep the land they got by invading
Ukraine.

Musk is trying to shut down NOAA’s climate observatory in Hawaii @ Mauna Loa
because it studies atmospheric CO2 and Trump promised the fossil fuel industries
that he would stop any climate related science or policies. Meanwhile salt water is
working its way north up the Mississippi because the ocean levels are rising.

Trump has pulled us out of the World Health Organization and is working on crippling
the C.D.C., the N.I.H., and basic bio medical research. Trump blames them for his
shitty response to COVID and the real # of dead from that disease and its aftermath is
14 million dead worldwide @ least 1 million dead from other diseases and medical
issues because doctors, nurses, hospitals, and such were tied up because the C-19 pandemic.
Avian Influenza is no joke and it could cost a lot more than egg prices going up. Btw
funny I don’t recall any mention of egg prices going up because of the 1.2 million chickens
that died or had to be put down because of bird flu during the election but now we are
hearing all about it. The media or much of it is in the bag for Trump and the republicans.
Mika B. is dead to me. Her crying act about women bleeding out in hospital parking lots
because of the loss of health care for women because Roe was overturned.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. who is in charge of something to do with our healthcare system is bat shit
crazy and is gonna get thousands of people killed because of his codswallop of misinformation
and he has been a heroin user.

Reality Winner got 5 years for one stolen document (about Russia’s interference in our elections)
and yet Trump is going to walk away from his theft and most likely giving away our nation’s top
secrets to the Russians. We executed 2 people for that (the Rosenbergs) and another just died
in our Federal Super Max Prison in Colorado for the same thing (Robert Hansen) too.

Musk is trying to end democracy in America and is still pissed that South Africa no longer
is controlled by Afrikaner Nazis so one of the reasons he is trying to end USAID is because
it helps black people in Africa. And to me at least he acts like he is on drugs.

Trump “won” the election after massive cheating by Musk, the GRU, and the Crypto Boys.
Trump, “Musk is very good with those vote counting computers.” (My guess the central
tabulators). And at least 4.8 million voters were purged from voting prior to the election.
Greg Palast …. True the Vote … voter vigilantes. In my half baked mind that number of purged
voters is smaller than the real number of purged voters by all kinds of methods.

Watch how fast Trump OKs flipping our monetary system to crypto.

BTW the Gulf of Mexico uses the word Mexico which is a combination of 2 words from
a tribe of the Aztec Peoples but the Gulf of America uses those “foreign words”
because America comes from the Italian Name Amerigo Vespucci. Trump is stupid and
crazy.

Btw last night’s left over pastrami Ruben is my breakfast right now.

1. Your rant is the script running through my head.

Everyday more is added.

[LSparkle]

3. Ditto -- wait I take that back (too Limpbag) -- SAME!

[sop]

2. We are living in the stupidest timeline.

[ScratchCat]

4. You are 100% spot on

And the fact that tens of millions are oblivious to this and allowed this man to even run for office - when they don't even support half the stuff he is doing - is evidence that this country is over. 100% over. No way back at this point.

I honestly feel like I am watching a bad movie that wont end. One where everybody is laughing at how ridiculous the movie is, but they wont turn it off even though they can.

[Botany]

6. The 14th Amendment Article 3 should have made it impossible and illegal to run for President

but our corrupt Supreme Court ruled that it didn’t say what it says.

[Crowman2009]

5. Let's hope those MAGA rallies turn into riots.

Last time I checked, a lot of them are armed to the teeth and just Social security, medicare, possibly even SNAP benefits.

[Martin Eden]

7. Do you know how preposterous that sounds?

I mean, really -- eating leftover pastrami Ruben for breakfast??!!!

The rest of the OP is, of course, an accurate litany of the preposterous outrages being inflicted on us all by an evil cabal that could not be in power without the complicity of an imbecilic electorate.

[Botany]

13. It has all the needed food groups for a healthy body.

Fats, smoked brisket, cracked peppers, sauerkraut (cabbage, vinegar, salt),
Russian dressing, Swiss Cheese, and rye bread. I got caffeine with my coffee
and healthy stuff with the coleslaw.

Btw I’m posting a lot because I’m crazy and having to not walk because I just got
some surgery on my foot.

16. Breakfast of Champions!

You've got on foot up on the other competitors.

8. For Trump, it beats the heck out of anyone seeing those pee pee tapes ...nt

[Gum Logger]

10. Repugs

lie like Satan. Lie like rugs.

[Kid Berwyn]

9. Spoiled NAZI Baby demanded flags raised from half-staff.

Which says a lot about dip's self-respect being a little less than the reflection of what others think about him, "a disgrace!"

Bottom line: The oligarchs tired of plutocracy and become kleptocrats.

Putin wins.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Excellent post summarizing our current reality.

[wiggs]

12. For sociopaths like these guys, the win is sweeter if it's illegal, cruel, or built on lies. Still doesn't

come up in pundit panels or media. It's better for them if illegal and they get away with it...sign of power.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. The currency issue is one of the scariest

[LiberalArkie]

15. Totally agree 100%

If trump wanted to build up the U.S. the appointments would have been different. He would have selected qualified people. But he chose the worst possible people for the jobs. Now he is removing any and all personnel from the departments that knew how to do things and replacing them with people with no knowledge at all.

I equate it to a power and light utility who fires every single outside employee and replace them with friends and family of the executives.

[Botany]

17. The sad thing is that any other DUer could have added many more things to the list of Trump's shit show

Such as Trump had US military flights go out of their way and land in N.E. Scotland so
the plane had to refuel with aviation fuel bought from a Trump associated business and
the flight crew and passengers had to stay @ his money losing golf course. That was
theft from the American government/people and not a God Damn thing happened to him.

[LiberalArkie]

20. Nope, and nothing will ever. He has info one everyone in power, more than Epstein ever had.

I just hope we end up with a kind of benevolent plutocracy along the lines of Thailand. They are a lot more corrupt than the U.S. but the people have adjusted to it for many years and the plutocrats can sense when the mood shifts. Like the recent move to provide for gay marriages. Just a couple of years ago that would have been unheard of. But a little civil unrest and the monarchy and the military house of government "caved to the will of the people". It was amazing thing to behold.

At some point there will be a decision here to have the constitution redone. I kind of hop it becomes a lot like the Asians when a person can not hold the top positions who have even 1 share of a media company. That would make a lot of changes here. Like maybe no one in any elected federal position can hold any stock even in trusts or with the children. If they want they can join the Federal 401K.

[dchill]

18. You are spot on, and I envy you your breakfast!

[mn9driver]

19. Yep.

Trump’s actions are all based on grievance and blackmail, not on policy. The country will take decades to recover, if it ever does.

[Wicked Blue]

21. K&R

[yellow dahlia]

22. One of the refrains I utter often during the day is "people are going to die".

We will see a lot of death due to services provided by USAID being obstructed.

What is going to be the result of people not getting info from CDC, about things like bird flu?

And as they confirmed RFK Jr yesterday, I said it again - people are going to die.

And yet, I just watched my local news normalize what the administration take over is doing. I yelled at the tv. I'm thinking of calling them and chastising them. (I'm officially a crazy old lady.)




BTW, love Pastrami Reubens...haven't had one in ages.

[A_Steel_Magnolia]

23. Super Summary!

I get it that trumpster believes he has been wronged with all the lawsuits, but I cannot help but wonder what Pootin has on him and/or what Pootin has promised him. I do believes that trumpster sees Pootin as a role model and coach on how to destroy democracy and create a kleptocracy.

[Botany]

24. Putin has been working Trump as a Russian asset for 30 years. He was an easy mark.

Not very smart, an egotistical narcissist, always in need of money, and vices that made him
easy to blackmail and or get kompromat on. In March of 2013 Russians are reported to have
taken Trump to a strip club in Las Vegas that featured “water sports” shows. In November of
that same year the Steele Dossier reported that Trump was given a golden showers show in a
Moscow hotel. Trump was in Russia for a Miss Universe pageant and he returned to America
talking about how the European Countries were taking advantage of America with the costs of
NATO. Putin had him by the balls. And he still does.

[A_Steel_Magnolia]

25. Oligarchy/kleptocracy does not make sense for the US.

The history of the campaign and "golden showers," along with hush money payments all came out during trumpsters first term (especially after the Mueller report was released). Pootin could only hold that over trumpster's head until it was revealed. trumpster is the original teflon don. Even business deals like the proposed hotel in Moscow during the 2016 campaign (ultimately canceled after he won) was quickly forgotten. BTW, the marriage of corporate interests with government is just as dangerous as the marriage of religion and government.

It is apparent that trumpster wants to model America after Russia. Sadly, if trumpster succeeds, he will not only destroy democracy, he will destroy the economy even while he steals everything that isn't nailed down. Democracy and capitalism is the reason we have a booming economy. Revenge and retribution is only going to get him so far.

Sorry to ramble, but trumpster is handing Pootin one victory after another by damaging our reputation abroad, alienating our allies, and generally destroying the US government from within. I can't help but wonder what might be going on behind the scenes between the two of them.

I had no idea they want to shut down our observatory
