Ya think? It is a remarkable and well deserved turn in fortune against Trump. I think it confirms what both of us are saying. If we are talking reality, not perception, you are right that Trump is a worthless dangerous piece of shit. Although I wouldn't put it that kindly. 😉 If we are talking perception, Trump moved 70 FUCKING POINTS with Independents. Meaning Independents had a 10 % preference for Trump over Harris on inflation when he was running in 2024. Now he has - 60 points net disapproval on inflation with Independents. I think what makes it worse for Trump is this is all clearly his own stupid judgment and broken promises. Neither Biden nor Trump chose COVID, or the inflation it resulted in.. Trump chose to go to war with Iraq and spike oil prices. Although he claims he had no idea whatsoever that Iran might retaliate that way. He may be telling the truth for once. The piece of shit's ego clearly won't let him even consider the possibility that Iran is outsmarting him. What a stupid worthless piece of shit. Now what Independents need to do is put Democrats in power to restrain him for the last two miserable years of his sorry ass Presidency.

Spoiler alert: rant incoming. I don't disagree that Trump botched COVID. There were many nails in his coffin in 2020. And that was for sure one of them. But one of the reasons he won again in 2024 is people remember that "the Trump economy" from 2017 to 2020, pre-COVID, seemed to be pretty good. I'm not making a statement about whether that is objectively true. I am making a statement that polling showed that is how people remembered it. I'm pretty sure a lot of that feeling was that the inflation that happened under Biden - and to the whole world thanks to COVID - just was not a reality during Trump 1.0. Susie Wiles was sure able to help capitalize on that in campaign messaging, when Trump listened to her. I've had a nice but weird series of discussions with one of my brothers about this, who I refer to as a McCain Republican. He's really mostly apolitical. But he loved John McCain as a fellow Navy guy. So this brother voted for Trump in 2016. When I asked him why, he said, "Whatever he does, it's going to be interesting." I said, "Yes. Nuclear war is interesting. It doesn't mean it's good." That zinger of mine still might prove prescient. I think being an infrequent voter who like most people isn't a fan of government my brother just liked the "break the glass" quality about Trump. That changed bigly by 2020. By then this brother was raging way more than me, the real lefty in the family, about how Trump was a "megalomaniac." He now despises Trump. He of course voted for Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024. But when I asked him who he would have voted for in 2020 if he had only voted on the economy, he immediately said, "Trump." When I asked him why, he said, "my retirement account was worth a lot more." Stock market did pretty well under Trump. And Biden, too, of course. I'm sure this was a huge part of why young Zoomers who had no real recollections of Trump 1.0 when they were in high school were willing to give him a chance. The economy, stupid. They for sure didn't like high rent and mortgage rates under Biden. Even my left-of-center nieces and nephews who were paying high rent or high mortgage rates were not happy with Biden at all. Final point, which was an interesting poll outlier. In every election since 2004 CNN asks if you are better or worse off than four years ago. No surprise, people who say they are better off vote overwhelmingly like 2 to 1 or more for the incumbent party. People who say they are worse off vote overwhelmingly against the incumbent party, also 2 to 1 or more. People who say they are the same as four years ago usually split their vote 50/50 or so But 2020 was different. So this is the third question down in that exit poll. No surprise, people who felt better off financially under Trump 1.0 voted like 3 to 1 for Trump. And people who felt worse off voted 3 to 1 for Biden. Note that even in Nov. 2020 after months of COVID 40 % said they felt better off and only 20 % said they felt worse off financially after four years of Trump. Had this been like 2004, 2008, 2012, or 2016, Trump would have won. In all those other years the people who said they were about the same financially split their votes 50/50. But for some reason in 2020 people who said "about the same" voted overwhelmingly for Biden, 65 to 34. I think it was Trump's craziness that nailed his coffin shut in 2020. That was for sure true in the family example I gave above. Another indicator of it in this same 2020 survey is that 49 % of voters said only Biden had the right temperament to be POTUS, and they all voted for Biden. 39 % of voters said only Trump had the temperament to be POTUS, and they all voted for Trump. People who said either "both" or "neither" had the right temperament still voted heavily for Trump. But the math problem both in 2020 and 2024 is about half of America is deeply convinced Trump is a lying dangerous asshole not fit to lead. He is an idiot who bombs innocent girls and lies about it. Why would any sane country want this piece of shit as their leader? Other than America, of course! 🤔 So sorry for rambling. But I hope Iran does not return the favor and assassinate this piece of shit. I want to see him bleed out like the worthless piece of shit he is. In 2020 I think the economy mostly did work in Trump's favor. Even if it was just his good luck to inherit an economy that Team Obama, and/or time, healed. But now the piece of shit has both a shitty economy in the eyes of a majority, and his own evil temperament. So he is headed to a worse fate than 2020, I think. Please Iran, do not assassinate Trump the worthless piece of shit. Yes, he is warmonger who kills Iranian leaders and Iranian girls. He is a weak pathological liar who can not even admit he kills children and lies about it. But don't you think he deserves to suffer the one thing he can't stand? That the whole world increasingly views him as a failed worthless piece of shit?

Magyar is still right of center. So he's not exactly my ideological dreamboat, since I am a Berniecrat or a Warren Boy at heart. That said, as Politico noted in a very good article, he is part of what is seemingly a global movement of personality-driven political figures who are not the status quo. And who promise to break the status quo. Which was sorely needed in Hungary. But it is a mixed bag. The American version of "break the status quo" is Trump. Ugh! I am lovin on two countries now: Canada, and Mexico. Aka, my neighbors. They are both respectfully telling Trump's America to go fuck itself. Since I don't consider myself to be part of Trump's America, and I have zero respect for that part of my country, I hope they actually do go fuck themselves. I love seeing Trump die death by a thousand wounds. Please, world leaders. Stab the immoral rapist lying genocidal stupid piece of shit in the back. In the face. In the fat ankles. Make the stupid reckless piece of shit Trump keep bleeding out politically. He is a massive fucking disgrace. What a total piece of shit. Stab him. Take any dull instrument you have and make the worthless piece of shit bleed out just a little more politically. That is what Canada and Mexico are doing, in very different ways. Carney is The Establishment Figure who probably would have lost, since people grew tired of Trudeau. But he ran against Trump, who is an insult to Canada as well as the whole world. So he is stabbing Trump in the face. I fucking love it. Trumo can say any stupid fucking thing he wants and more and more people just laugh at the stupid reckless piece of shit and the country that elected him. We deserve it. Sheinbaum is stabbing Trump in the back. As much as anyplace in the world, Mexico is under the grips of a working class-based somewhat authoritarian movement that actually is working well for the working class. And is left of center. I love it. I wish we had that in America. Maybe someday we will. It seems like at first Sheinbaum did what a typical Mexican does, and gave America - and Trump - the respect it deserved. But now that the worthless stupid raping lying genocidal piece of shit Trump is bleeding out politically, she is standing up against him a bit more. It all weakens the doomed piece of shit stab by stab. And Iran has absolutely castrated the worthless weak piece of shit. Trump's narcissistic personality will not allow him to believe he lost. But he lost. He promised regime change. What a fucking joke. Instead he killed Iranian girls and lied about it. What an immoral raping lying piece of shit. A moral disgrace to the whole world. Yeah, the Gay-murdering theocrats in Iran suck. But so does The Genocide Jew, who dragged us into this. And so does Genocide Trump, who publicly threatened to end a civilization. The Genocide Jew and Genocide Trump are worthless and wrong. I hope The Genocide Jew and Genocide Trump end up chained to Yasser Arafat in hell forever. Three weak pieces of shit who had no courage and used violence to lead. They all deserve to burn in hell forever, as far as I am concerned. So Hungary's change is like an appetizer. I want Genocide Trump and The Genocide Jew taken out, slowly and painfully. I am pretty sure now I will get my wish with Trump. Iran already took the stupid asshole's testicles. The rest will be fun to watch. Not so sure about The Genocide Jew. Israel is turning more right wing be the day. Killing innocent Palestinians and Iranians only makes The Genocide Jew more popular. It's a shame.

And in his pool. He likes water sports. If a guy takes a job that allows Donald Trump to piss all over him, and requires complete obedience to his Master, aka The Warmonger King, what does that tell you about his proclivities?

And then there are nukes. 🤔 I've been listening a lot to Robert Pape. I have no idea what his politics are. But in the context of Iran, he sounds like an expert in the field who has correctly predicted how Trump's war would backfire, at least so far. The regime did not change. Oil prices did. He predicted all that. Professor Pape: Trump Ceasefire Will FAIL As War Metastasizes He recently wrote a NYT op/ed that this is going to help Iran gradually emerge as a fourth world power, with China and Russia and Iran all aligned against the US. Which is increasingly alone and disrespected. Basically, that which does not kill the theocracy makes it stronger. And it guarantees that they will now be on a relentless drive to get nukes. Obviously, America is winning. As @PeterRS notes a few posts up, I am sure genuine true blooded pure real American voters (no filthy Mexicans or socialist Canadians or shit hole immigrants, please!) will thank Trump in November for all the winning he is doing for us. 🤪 As Pape in the interview above notes, the one thing JD Vance stressed is the US (and, more importantly, The Genocide Jew) will not tolerate a nuclear Iran. Granted, JD flip flops. Trump was Hitler, now he is Jesus, if you hadn't heard. Pape argues most Iranians probably would now agree that Theocrats With Nukes is the one thing that will stop Trump or a future US autocrat from blowing the shit out of them. Even if they dislike theocrats themselves, which many do. So this is not on a path to peace, he believes. If he is right, it gets worse. Which is why @PeterRS is likely right. This will get settled at the ballot box. And it won't surprise me if Warmonger In Chief Trump and The Genocide Jew get the bright idea of nuking Iran first.

Sir! Some respect, please. I may be a conniving bitch. But one thing I won't do is move into my Beloved Sister In Cock @Suckrates' territory. She has dibs on Mamdani. And I am just happy that she enjoys him, in all his male glory. Meanwhile, I have made a small fortune as a highly paid escort drilling Pete Hegseth's ass when he feels the urgent need to be tied up and dominated. That is, of course, something Donald Trump can't do for him. It's an ugly job, that is emotionally draining. But for the good of the US, someone has to do it. How else is the US going to keep winning til we get tired of it? 🤪

Great song, Sis. I just had to get up on my feet and dance.

North Korea? 😁 They love autocrats there. Let's send JD to keep Viktor company. It's a nice little preview of how great it will feel when Orban wannabe Trump is gone, too. From Politico on the new Hungarian government: Happily, Trump never won 50 % of the vote, and never had the staying power of Orban. He hasn't degraded institutions nearly as much. Maybe there is hope for America yet. Despite that, Trump has managed to fuck up so much all over the world in the last year. His stench will last for a long time. It would be nice to think this is all about how much Hungary loves democracy. But they tolerated nationalist authoritarianism for a long time. It seems like it is more about a shitty economy. Which is what brought Trump barely to power again in 2024, anyway. So Democrats better be focused on the economy, not just Trump bashing.

I'm not sure either side is all that serious. The US seems to be to doing what The Genocide Jew wants. The Genocide Jew's stated policy is to kill all Iran's leaders. Trump is now all in on genocide with his threat to kill all Iranian people. This could be a difficult negotiation. Who knew? Certainly not our Shit For Brains Arrogant Dumb Fuck Rapist Convict Narcissist President. Iran and Russia benefit both financially and politically from this. If The Genocide Jew continues to drag the US into Genocide Jew Nation's endless war whoring, so The Genocide Jew can avoid jail. I don't see why Iran isn't smart enough to make the whole world pay for it in terms of higher oil prices. Makes lots of money to make lots of bombs in Iran and Russia. Stupid piece of shit Trump did not think that through. Then again, he could destroy Iran with nuclear weapons. That will go down well, won't it? Piece of shit Trump did not think that through, either. Our military is clearly very powerful. But Trump is still a pussy who makes pussy threats about genocide. China will pay for this in oil prices. But my guess is they don't mind watching the US self-destruct while they act as of the voice of peace. Piece of shit Trump handed them that gift, too. Who could have seen all this brilliance coming? 😉

Trump's definitely in a pissed off mood, as Pam Bondi learned recently. Although I can't blame Trump. All this winning must be so tiring! 😉

He lost the war, although he never admits to losing. I never thought I would be listening to John Bolton's "good" judgment. That said, I respect Bolton's logic. Unlike Trump, Bolton has logic and strategy. Not just reptilian instinct and self defense. Bolton's point is if you are gonna go after a snake, or a lion, or a tiger, you better have a plan to win decisively. You have to kill it. Or it will kill you. He said any war against Iran only makes sense if it is committed to regime change. Aka "boots on the ground" and lots of dead Amewricans. In military terms this is kinda sorta like The Powell Doctrine. Win what you plan to win with decisive force that you know is decisive force. Otherwise, you suck and lose. Ego Baby King Trump forgot all that cause he thought after Venezuela his shit didn't stink. Even South Park's "Respect My Authority" Cartman is smarter than this losing piece of shit. He's gonna tank the stock market this year and tank the GOP Senate and House. He is a worthless stupid losing piece of shit. If Iran manages to return the kindness and assassinate his stupid loser ass, as he takes America and the world down the shitter, who is gonna cry about it? What a total piece of shit. That said, AND I MEAN THIS SERIOUSLY, the anti-Gay theocrats in Iran better fucking beware. If you touch Melania or her shoes, I will kill you all.

My Canadian sister-in-law surprised me. I told her recently I thought the US was fucked for good. Like this is the moment in history when America ceded global superpower status to China, whether we realize it or not yet. We are beyond question stupidly and ignorantly trashing every alliance we spent a century or more building. She was more optimistic. Slightly surprisingly, given that she has a whole family and friend network of people pissed off about the 51st state thing. Not to mention serious economic injury added to the insult. She thinks when there is a new POTUS, things may blow over eventually. Count on Canadians to look at the bright side, I guess. If we did not just put China in the driver's seat, it is only because even stupid unhinged democratic capitalism still beats state capitalist authoritarianism. I can see a possible upside, if I really want to wish and, perhaps, pray. I read some interview with Jerry Brown years ago. While he spent a life as an utter pragmatist when it came to governing, he's always had this quasi-religious, prophetic aura going back to Governor Moonbeam. He was talking almost off the cuff about how we really ought to be spending more time thinking about how to avoid a war with China. Because things can escalate quickly, and end badly. This interview had nothing to do with Trump. Just a long term assessment of how easy it is for things to quickly spin out of control. We are now in that moment. So the silver lining on this cloud is the adults in the room maybe will be motivated to speak up and take over. Carney is an adult. I'm not sure the middle powers concept will get as much traction as he wants. But it is sure worth the effort. As a citizen of the country of guns and endless school shootings, I ain't holding my breath. I hope my Canadian sister-in-law knows better.

Watching that made me sad for Democrats. And sad about 2020. Maya Rupert is introduced in this piece as an Elizabeth Warren 2020 advisor. So it made me think about those days, when lefty thinking was peaking. I have a lot of woulda, coulda, shoulda thoughts. Biden won in part because he had been Obama's # 2. And in part because he was the least unacceptable and most moderate of the bunch. In Biden's defense, what most fucked up his Presidency was one word, that he could do nothing about. And the word is not AGE or SENILITY. It's inflation. Inflation wiped out leaders and leading parties all over the world. Inflation is what brought us Trump 2.,0. That said, this rant of mine always goes to Mexico, and Lopez Obrador. He fought like hell for three specific groups: workers, seniors, and the poor. The inflation and COVID death was just as bad in Mexico. But he got his successor elected in a landslide. If you fight like hell for people, they remember and fight for you. And there are of course people who do relieve Trump is fighting like hell for them. Poor things. Some of them are learning. If Democrats had had what I will call an "AMLO moment" in 2020 all of this misery and cruelty and stupidity could have been avoided. Meaning if someone with an actual vision and temperament for fighting like hell for the workers, the seniors, and the poor had prevailed, just like in Mexico enough could have been both said and done to overlook that whole nasty inflation thing in 2024, I think. There are people who think that the last true gasp of Democratic progressive economic policy was in 2016, when Sanders fought the good fight and lost. I think of 2020 as that moment. America was ready to move beyond Trump, People wanted change. I will always think that if Sanders and Warren had fought together, as a team, maybe they could have won the nomination. There are people who think a Sanders/Warren ticket would have been kooky. The polls never said that, in the moment. People relate to Sanders' vision, and Warren's, which is like the AMLO/Scheinbaum vision. My big assumption here is that Sanders and Warren, unlike Biden, would have been able to fight like hell for the kind of economic policies - in a word, affordability - that Rupert talks about in that clip. I don't believe that even in his prime, Biden was ever that kind of guy. He was never a visionary, and a fighter. Which is what we needed. And what we need. Woulda. Shoulda. Coulda. It's never too late. The US, not to mention the whole fucking world, will be ready for a change again in 2028. In the mean time, this just makes me feel sad for what could have been. And all the misery and cruelty that could have been avoided. That said, on the bright side, who actually wants day care, or Medicare, or Medicaid, - or other such "scams" - when we can instead have war? 🫢

For what? The economy is roaring, inflation is licked, and the war is going great. Why are you liberals allows moaning? About gas prices and shit. I mean, don't be such losers. Under Trump, the affordability problem is solved, for sure. He killed a few hundred Iranian girls and lied about it. It proves that under Trump, life is super cheap. What more can THE GREATEST POTUS EVER do? Well, maybe build another statue of himself.

Of course I agree with you, my precious and devastatingly gorgeous sister. But remember, @Barknaway has some fine points. For starters, he is good and loyal and true. And I am a bit worried. That bitch dog killer is gone, thank God. So I thought our brainless pup was safe. But now there is Iran. They raised the age limit, and will let you have a drug track record. So it's only a matter of time I think until they accept dogs who will do whatever Trump says. I do worry for the pup, being a kind liberal like I am!

That's funny and cool. The Genocide Jew has made it clear. Assassinating foreign leaders you don't like is eine perfekte Lösung What could possibly go wrong? 🤔 P.S. Maybe we take out a few hundred innocent little Israeli girls? By mistake, of course. Kind of extreme, I guess. But the Genocide Jew would love it!

Say hi to Zohran for me, Sis. Asssuming your mouth is not otherwise occupied. 🤪

Truly, I am a man of simple tastes. In my next life, I only want to be Kellyanne Conway's vagina.

I'm SHOCKED. Of all people, I would think you understand my motivation, my Dearest And Darlingest Sister In Cock. I could give a flying fuck about Bessent. He is a disgrace to the LGBTQ movement. He snivels at the ass of a bigot racist who systematically puts down and delegitimizes queers who don't worship him and vote Republican. Ugh! No. My heart goes out to Melania. And especially the shoes. When Mueller laid a finger on Melania's shoes, he doomed himself to an eternity with Satan. Please try to be your BEST Sis. Try hard! Consult Zohran if need be. He can get along with our Will-Iran-Soon-Assassinate-Him?-POTUS. Turns out assassinating all the leaders of countries you don't like is THE BEST!, Sis. But, again, I hope Iran leaves Melania and especially HER SHOES alone!

I'm gonna have to disagree on this fellas. Sure, I get law and order and all that stuff. And I suppose, yeah, maybe we need democracy and shit. But this poor man Trump had to watch that dead FBI cunt and his minions go through his wife's wardrobe! Sure. Kill some Iranian schoolgirls and lie about it. Nobody gives a fuck. But you just don't fuck with Melania's shoes! Mueller should burn in hell forever for that! P.S. Then again maybe the Iranians will assassinate Trump and The Genocide Jew and they will burn in hell forever. Open up Pandora's box and all kinds of shit comes out.

Actually, that's not fair. Trump defends Patriot Pete pretty well, don't you think? Problem is, Patriot Pete is disloyal when it comes to defending Trump. When Trump lied about how the US killed Iranian schoolgirls, Pete should have been a man and denied it. Instead, it was almost like Hegseth was trying to tell the truth. How fucked up is that? 🤔

This is fantastic news!!!! Top US allies are turning toward China instead. Thank Trump. Glorify Trump. Worship Trump. He Is KING! Okay let's start with a few small pieces of bad news. There always have to be a few assholes to spoil the fun, huh? First off as always Canada has proven themselves to be a shit hole. Why am I not surprised? Those unpatriotic socialists need to all be deported. That way we can get some people with Heritage Blood in there to make it our 52nd state after Greenland. Germans are always causing problems especially with Jews. Now we have the Genocide Jew all pumped up and ready to use a tactical nuke on Iran wipe the scum leadership off the face of the earth. That is a great solution when you think about it. Plus those women and kids who DID NOT COOPERATE even though we gave them every chance to get rid of the SCUM leaders who are like VERMIN. And now the Germans don't want to accept responsibility for NATO to clean up the mess they caused in the Straight of Hormuz. We need some Heritage Blood there, too, I guess! So yeah you have a few socialist losers from NATO shit holes but other than that everything is going great! The greatest richest and most advanced democracies in the world are all on board with the Board Of Peace! Saudi Arabia: on board! Qatar: on board! United Arab Emirates: on board! Turkey: on board! Egypt: on board! Jordan: on board! Morocco: on board! And lest we forget: Jared Kushner: on board! Although Jared had to put his billions in Middle East financial holdings in a blind trust. Ha ha just kidding. That shit is only for socialist losers and suckers who fight in wars. Smart people who do not live in shit holes make money off democracy LOL!!!

Oh my dearest and darlingest Sister. That distresses me so! Okay, we have to get creative, I guess. It is true that I think of you as my Sister In Cock. Can't you just lean into our training and devotion as Nuns Of The Nipple? He does seem civilized enough in that regard. 😉

Sorry Sis. You can't have any. You have Zohran, anyway. 😁

Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strike Fuck yeah! I am tired of this woke bullshit. Let warfighters fight wars! All this politically correct bullshit about dead Iranian girls is unpatriotic. The whole point of war is to kill Iranians, okay? Who the fuck cares about dead girls? President Trump knows that girls are good for fucking. Especially pretty young ones. I have three wives and seven kids, both boys and girls. I know what boys need and girls need, too! War fighters fight wars. They need to fuck and be manly! No queers! No women! No anal sex! I am so tired of these hysterical women and their fuckling woke bullshit. Let my men hunt and kill Iranians! We are here to help them! No more of this woke bullshit!
