Everything The Trumpster is doing from invading DC to going to Alaska to kiss Putin's assn and get his marching orders is just to get the Epstein investigation to go away

If there is any proof that Trump is on Epstein's pedo list it his rant that this a hoax created by Obama and the Dems, This is an obvious defense in case public or legal pressure causes a leak or release of the evidence. HEB has used this defense for every crime he has committed

Elon's death toll just went up and in Texas his state. The doge cuts for the weather service meant there was no one working at night in the Austin office to relay all the info coming in to Texas officials. So add another 70 or so to the 80 Tesla deaths and 300,000 children killed by cuts to USAID

Well you knew it was coming.When the economy starts tanking when the approval ratings go down that's the time to start a war, For a guy who pretends to not be a politician Trump knows the playbook

Predictions are that 165,000 more little kids will die due to Elon Musk's cuts to USAID. Meanwhile Memphis residents are having health problems due to his uncontrolled use of methane generators and his rockets are exploding and tearing holes in the ionsphere. This man says he has never hurt anyone

Watching Bezos kiss the royal ass over doing what's right for his company VS doing what the bully wants made me realize that no matter how much money they have when push comes to shove they will cave to the school yard bully every time. Your customers deserve TRANSPARENCY

THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
1) Tariffs on Penguins
2) Tariffs on Australia when we have a trade SURPLUS not a trade deficit.
I would say we have chimpanzees running the WHITE HOUSE but that would be doing a disservice to chimpanzees.

2) then it was their recent attempt to portray Trump as a peacemaker instead of a bully. Now they are looking for a reason to call him a genius as he pushes the failed Trickle Down economics that destroys us every time it is applied. Character doesn't matter to them. A description and quote (cont)

Certainty is the luxury of those who don't bear responsibility.

Rnc and House leaders are telling members they must not do town halls, Their constituents are so pissed at them several fled like cowards any way. True Maga fashion they are defending their fear by insisting all the people showing up are Dems or Soros backed groups. The boogy man is out to get them

I am watching Trump getting slapped down and its like a rat in a maze who keeps bumping his head and can't find a way out. it is entertaining in a sick way but would be fun if this senile fool wasn't trying to hurt so many people.

There are presidents I have liked and some I didn't like. Some were smart and some were pretty dumb. BUT I have never been ashamed of a US president until today. We will live with this shame as a country for a long time
