Another UMA (Unqualified Maga Appointee) bites the dust. THIS is why we USED to have a merit-based Civil Service (pre-Trump era)!

L'etat c'est moi in now in play!! King Donald I!
In recent weeks, Trump has become increasingly agitated whenever reporters press him on statements he made that he now insists he can’t remember
December 8, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Like the "spoiled child" he & the Administration lackeys will continue to "take" inch by inch until they own it all!! If you confront them they distract you & then come back later and try to do it again. it has been in the making since they first convinced you "right to work" was a "good" thing
“Saving 25,000 lives” by blowing up a boat relies on the kind of innumeracy that led people to believe that, when Trump talked about deporting 20 million people, he would be targeting only criminals and rapists. lnk.thebulwark.com/3KP4z0z

And yet I listen daily (on Washington Journal) to MAGA "call-ins" spewing venom at "Democrats" who have so much "hate" for the president! You reap what you sow MAGA!
He has been asked about this multiple times and said he would do it. But this time a black female reporter asks him the question, so it gets answered much differently. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Reporter: You said he would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd

Trump: I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news. Whatever Hegseth decides is ok with me… Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious reporter. Actually, a terrible reporter.

At LEAST someone in the UK is realizing that they are losing under Brexit. Americans still haven't realized that they are losing big-time under Trump and his band of fools!
Let silly hacks go and work on their next bit of Westminster gossip. THIS is the main news from that conference. The clearest indication yet, right from the top.
👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽

Music to my ears. ~AA

And the LARGER question is WHY?? Explain to me Mr. Trump how THIS helps AMERICANS!??
It’s not a stretch to say that my former political party is now firmly pro-Russia/pro-Putin. Not a stretch at all. It’s traitorous, but it’s true. Look, the leader of my former political party works for Putin. He’s on Putin’s side. Always has been. And the party has followed him.

How much of this will you have to see (the Gatsby party at MAL, the new Grand Ballroom etc) before you realize that the people you have put in charge are NOT there for YOU.. They are there for THEM!!
HAPPENING NOW IN FRANKLIN: Republican #TN7 nominee Matt Van Epps has moved his event from Puckett’s to the gated mansion estate of a right wing billionaire. Police are outside and told us it’s a closed door event.

Seems to say a lot about who Matt plans to represent.

The very FACT that they thought that this stance is moral or even LEGAL (to make a law that enriches yourself) shows WHO they truly are and NO amount of back peddling changes that!!
To recap:

-@MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty + other senate republicans tried to enrich themselves with taxpayer 💰

-We called them out. So did some Republicans. (Even @RepJohnRose)

-They both now say they won’t take money (shame works!)

-0 @Tennessean mentions of any of it

Trump ONLY cares about people who could embarrass or indict HIM. If he can shut you up he extorts you!

No movement in the history of the United States has demonized what it thinks are it's enemies (non-Trump Americans) than MAGA except perhaps the Southern slavery promoters.
Proving yet again how closely he studied Goebbels.
November 4, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Sadly, I agree.. until the consequences of the MAGA movement are actually FELT then nothing will change!!
I’m sure there will be a lot more of this. People need to feel the direct consequences of their vote. Otherwise, they will keep repeating and believing the lies.

And NOTE that the "agents" are also taking pictures of us so they can UPLOAD it up to facial recognition programs. Our government is is using it's storm troopers to gather profiles of people who they will later label enemies of the States while fat ass thugs intimidate Americans in person..
WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

And I am SURE that most people DON'T know that the Gatsby Era was the Roaring 20's which broke tons of social norms and excessive debauchery by the wealthy. It all ENDED with the Stock Market crash of 1929 followed by the Great Depression. History DOES repeat itself!!
The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

This "man" will sell ANYTHING if it a) brings money into his nest or that of the extremely wealthy or b) gives him a positive boost to his abysmal polling. This is NOT a businessman, this is NOT leader.. this is a sociopathic narcissist who would sell his mother if it stroked his ego
