161. Surprised I made it this far

Absolutely disgusting. They didn’t waste any time throwing out Representative Green. Those f’ing hypocrites, especially the ones right behind him, laughing and wagging their heads on cue. J.D.Vance’s piggy face smirking smugly in between zoning out. You know they all hate Trump. Musk takes an extended bow. Trump: ‘He didn’t need this’.

Now an extended rant on all the ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ he’s found, including something about making some species transgendered. Kennedy rises when he is called out by Trump at his lame joke re 150 year old people on SS; he looks like he wants to disappear. Pelosi looks like she wants to kill Trump.

Now he’s hyping his ‘gold card’ for buying citizenship. ‘We will restore true democracy again’ - while handing the country over to Russia. Threatening Democrats if they don’t vote for his wonderful tax cuts. ‘Nobody’s ever seen anything like it before’ - ARGHHH! ‘To our farmers, have a lot of fun’. Oh yeah, they’re having fun.

Have to mute it occasionally to get through this. Ten minutes in my husband said ‘I’m done with America’. He’s never said that before. As a practical matter, we probably won’t go anywhere, but I so deeply resent that we all have to go through this because of this party of narcissists, grifters, and lunatics.
