Well…the repubs just like braking the law so much they have just come up with a scheme to control all spending no matter what is in the appropriation legislation…this is in direct violation of the law and the constitution and Elizabeth Warren is fighting back…spending bills say where and when the money is to be spent but the repubs want to let the idiot trump pick and choose where and when to spend money or not spend it at all…the executive branch does not have “the power of the purse” and needs to follow what the law says…once this scheme came to light, Warren did what every dem should do, stop cooperating with repubs completely since if they get their way, there is no sense in doing any spending bill if it can be ignored after the fact…and this would mean the end of democracy, it’s that important…so thank you Elizabeth…go twist some arms of dems who think the repubs can be trusted at all…geez..

Explain this to me…
Well…with repubs continuing to lie that the tariffs are not going to effect prices at all, can someone explain to me why they are now touting a “rebate” of up to 600 dollars a person to help people pay the higher costs? With tariffs already estimated to cost a family of 4 over 4,000 dollars a year, it seems to me that this is just a bribe to take people’s minds off tariffs and give the repubs a talking point to be able to say “see, we gave you all that cash” and use it in the 26 election…but that family of 4 is still out almost 2 grand even after the checks…this is the repubs just making things up as they go since they are really willfully ignorant of basic economics…and they are counting on the dems continuing to be lousy in their messaging so the right wing mainstream media can drown out the truth…as always…geez…
More fallout from the EU tariffs…
Well…I talked a bit about the idiotic tariffs that the idiot in chief just put on everything from the EU…and guess what percentage of lifesaving drugs comes from the EU? 60%…yep and as of AUG 1st, they will all be 15% more expensive…do you take Ozempic? 15% more…or how about wegovy, mounjaro, or zepbound…all 15% more…or humira, or stellara…or how about the miracle cancer drug keytruda…15% more…even botox is going up 15%…and it’s not just drugs that will cost more after these moronic tariffs…do you think insurance companies and even Medicare are just going to eat this cost increase? Nope, next year all insurance will go up in double digits just because of these tariffs…and idiot boy is still out there lying that he is going to decrease the cost of drugs by “1,000%”…yeah, he doesn’t even understand simple math…does that thousand mean that drug companies will pay us to take them? That’s how stupid this whole thing is…hey maga voters…did you vote to have the cost of your drugs soar? Stupid, stupid people…geez…
The “deal” is going to cost you…
Well…god, I hate trump and his constant lies…just yesterday he went on and on about a trade “deal” with the EU that he lied is going to benefit the American people…look, it’s pretty clear if you can do basic arithmetic that it’s no deal…the only thing it does is raise tariffs from 1% to 15% on everything we import from the EU…so tell me again how raising costs by 14% is going to make anything cheaper? This is the kind of bullshit kindergarten economics that this dullard spouts every day and that economists across the world say is just a tax on the American people…and one of the largest tax increases on the people in this country ever…except for the rich who just got tax cuts that are larger than what 50% of the country makes in a year…and yet the morons who are going to starve after the food stamp cuts keep voting for these assholes…I wish they would just die already…geez…
Food supply dangers…
Well…as this summer goes on, I’m seeing more and more stories about the danger that the US food supply is under from climate change and the idiot’s deportation policies…there is a diary up at Kos where a woman in northern Ohio looks over at her neighbors corn field across the street every day and sees no ears even with the corn 8 feet tall…and then she describes the strange weather that started in the spring and makes the connection to the sterile plants…then she talks about an orchard in her area that had been run by the same family for over 100 years but this year trump and his ICE thugs ran all of the people off who did the harvesting for them…so they went broke and lost the farm where they grew apples, pears, and berries and the land is now being parceled out for lots to build houses…and the thing is, once these orchards and farms are gone they never come back…cripes I’m already seeing the effect of these farm losses here in Michigan…when the sweet corn harvest happened you could get a dozen ears for a buck but now it’s 5 for two bucks and heading higher…and with the loss of cattle ranches, the sky high cost of beef is going to go up and up and up…and these are racist policy decisions by idiot boy and his minions…and the sad thing is most of these farmers voted for trump and they would still vote for him again…morons…geez…
200 million for golf?
Well…I know I’ve talked about this before but it still pisses me off so I’ll do another one…since the idiot trump came into office, he has spent 200 million dollars of our tax money so he can go play golf and the repubs are just okay with that…even while they gut Medicaid and food stamps saying we can’t afford those two programs anymore…I’ll bet 200 million bucks could give thousands of people health insurance…or feed people that will be going hungry or starving to death…you would think if there is enough money for a quarter of a billion dollars for golf, there would be money for taking care of Americans…but the only American idiot boy cares about is himself so this is what you get when you have an entire party of hateful, racist assholes supporting the racist asshole in chief….geez…
It’s pretty darn funny…
Well…after I read an article on Kos yesterday about the latest “South Park” episode that attacked the idiot trump for the entire 30 minutes, I went out and watched it last night and it was pretty damn funny…the comment from one of the readers was that there would be “ketchup on the moon” made me laugh out loud…so go watch it if you get the chance…oh, in other mango mussolini news…idiot boy’s approval rating is down to 37% overall but in the mid 20′s with independents and that is going to hurt in the 26 elections…there is no issue that he is not under water on and that is how it should be since he really is incompetent in everything he does…haven’t seen him threaten the guys who do “South Park” yet but you know it’s coming after cbs caved and paid him off for a lawsuit he filed against 60 minutes for telling the truth…where are the guts from the media these days? Geez..
Even the repubs want the Epstein files released…
Well…no matter how much the idiot trump howls about Obama trying to distract the country from the Epstein files, it’s not working and even the repubs now are calling for them to be released and I really don’t think this is going to end any time soon…and just a couple of days ago the WSJ reported that yep, idiot boy is in the files and there are records and testimony that he raped a 14 year old girl at one of Epstein’s parties since sexual abuse of underage girls was what Epstein and Maxwell were convicted of…so the idiot is at all of these parties and now he wants everyone to believe he didn’t take part in any of them? So now we have a sitting president who raped a 14 year old girl and maga is just fine with that…along with all of the other repubs…there is no rule of law with these folks anymore…it’s just ignore our crimes or use the government to make them go away…and that is what is happening here with the corrupt AG (you remember the bribe she took from trump, right?) stalling all day long to make sure the files are never released…we really do need to take back the government and hold these criminals accountable…geez..
Don’t use anything musk…
Well…ole elon really hates the government except when he leeches more money out of it just as he did a few weeks back when he signed a contract with the Pentagon worth 200 million dollars for them to use his crappy AI that has been shown to not work at all…especially when it gives antisemitic answers to questions along with praise for nazis…how many more times are we going to allow musk to bleed the government as he has done with SpaceX? I mean hates government and that was clear when he ran the fraud of the doge debacle that didn’t save one dime and actually cost money with the changes that he did…but what did you expect from someone with a 5th grader’s understanding of how the government works…so what can we do against him? don’t use anything musk…no AI, no Tesla, and no more government money for spacex…nothing musk ever again…geez…
Now they are deporting American citizens…
Well…we knew it was going to come to this…after the ICEtapo started kidnapping people off the streets and deported them with no due process of the law, they have started to deport American citizens like the 4 year old boy with cancer who was sent to El Salvador even though he had never set foot in that country…and this is happening all over the country and the response of at least two repub senators is to laugh about it saying “you have to break some eggs to make an omelet”…never mind that it is illegal to deport American citizens and one has just been paid 175K for his kidnapping and deportation…I told you long ago that ICE was going to turn into the brownshirts just like Hitler used to terrorize every non Aryan across Europe…and they are using the same tactics they used in the 30′s and 40′s…just kidnapping and disappearing people they don’t like…like everyone who isn’t white…there needs to consequences when we take back congress and the WH…and every damn one of these thugs needs to go to jail…geez…
