They “Hate America”!

Jeez I have not heard that piece of crap since my protests days in the 70s when some old fat white guy would get in my face and utter garbage.

I bring this up because an adviser to Little Donny has publicly made the statement about anyone that disagrees with the Orange Man on deportations hates America.

These accusations came from the demented mouth of one Gorka, a Trump adviser and a Nazi in sheep’s clothing….

One of President Donald Trump’s cronies has heavily implied that Americans who demand due process for a Maryland father who was wrongly deported could meet his same fate.

On Tuesday, Trump’s senior director for counterterrorism, Sebastian Gorka, appeared on “Rob Schmitt Tonight” on Newsmax and said that those who publicly criticize Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s incarceration in a notoriously brutal prison in El Salvador could be committing a federal crime.

This is despite the Department of Justice admitting that Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, was wrongly deported due to an “administrative error,” and the Supreme Court ordering the Trump administration to help to bring Abrego Garcia back to the United States.

“The taxonomy of American politics is dead,” Gorka said a little over two minutes into his interview. “It’s not left and right. It’s not even Republican or Democrat. There’s one line that divides us: Do you love America or do you hate America? It’s really quite that simple.”

According to Gorka, who was born in the United Kingdom to Hungarian parents, those who “love America” include Trump, his administration and his supporters because they want to “protect” the U.S..

Gorka then went on to describe those who “hate America” as anyone who opposes Trump and his administration’s actions by claiming they are “on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists.”

Gorka, a former Newsmax host, then dialed up the autocratic tone of his argument to an unsettling level

“And you have to ask yourself, are they technically aiding and abetting them?” Gorka said of critics. “Because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime in federal statute.”

The implication of Gorka’s threat wasn’t lost on social media users on X, formerly Twitter.

“This is how freedom of speech dies,” one user pointed out.

“That’s the mark of authoritarianism. When you can’t win an argument, you criminalize the people who disagree with you,” another said.

“They’re saying it — if you criticize them, you are ‘aiding and abetting’ terrorists,” another user echoed. “If you take a stand against them, you’ll be targeted too.”

It is getting close to the rule of the ‘brown shirts’….we cannot say or do anything that does not conform to what Donny and his Merry Band of thugs feel is best for the country….you know damn the Constitution full speed ahead for authoritarianism.

Once again I guess I am being pigeon holed by morons that pretend to ‘love this country’ when everything they do is to the contrary.

Screw this sanctimonious asshole and the political wave he rode in on.  PERIOD!

Trumpcare Is Becoming A Bit Clearer

Us old farts have been holding our breath for Donny and his Magic Sharpie have not been too busy with our healthcare problem….but that is about to change….

Large health insurers saw their stocks pop earlier this week, after administration officials announced they would boost benchmark payment rates for Medicare Advantage plans by 5.1% this year — the largest such increase in a decade, and more than double the one first proposed by the Biden administration. The bump means carriers should pocket $25 billion in extra revenue, according to CMS.

The Trump administration was widely expected to be more friendly to Medicare Advantage plans, especially after it appointed Dr. Oz, who had a long record of promoting the private plans on his show, to head CMS. The new payments were reportedly finalized without the celebrity doctor’s input — he was only confirmed by the Senate late last week. But they could both boost insurers profits and help them pay for additional benefits that would attract patients.

The bump could also exacerbate concerns about Medicare Advantage overpayments, which were already expected to cost the government well over $1 trillion during the next decade. According to the administration, the benchmark rate was driven higher by updated estimates of Medicare Fee-for-Service costs, which underpin the formula the government uses to compensate private insurers that sell advantage plans. But Jeffries’ analyst David Windley suggested some politics were still at play.

Then there is the news on prescription drugs….

Trump may have backed down on his staggering round of “reciprocal” tariffs, but the world’s drug makers still have plenty to be nervous about when it comes to trade. On Tuesday, the president said he would impose “major” new import taxes on pharmaceuticals “very shortly.”

“And when they hear that, they will leave China. They will leave other places because they have to sell — most of their product is sold here, and they’re going to be opening up their plants all over the place,” he told the crowd at a dinner for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

I am sure with an idiot in charge of HHS , RFK,Jr, and Medicare under the watchful eye of that quack Oz this saga is far from over.

I will be watching and writing whenever something new hits the presses.

“Screw It!” Is That What Little Marco Is Saying?

This is the feeling I get from the so-called talks that are going on about the conflict in Ukraine….it seems that after promising to end this conflict on day one the US has had about 100 days and we are NO closer to a ‘peace’ deal.

To make matters worse the SecState Rubio has is throwing up his hands and possibly walking away from the negotiations.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that the US may be ready to “move on” from efforts for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal if there is not progress in the coming days. Speaking in Paris after a marathon day of landmark talks among US, Ukrainian, and European officials, Rubio said the discussions had been constructive and produced an outline for steps toward peace. “We’re not going to continue with this endeavour for weeks and months on end,” Rubio said, per the BBC. The US, he said, has “other priorities to focus on.”

  • After weeks of efforts by the Trump administration to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine have failed to bring an end to the fighting, Rubio said the US administration wants to decide “in a matter of days whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks,” the AP reports.
  • “The president has spent 87 days at the highest level of his government repeatedly taking efforts to bring this war to an end,” Rubio said, per the Washington Post. “We are now reaching a point where we need to decide and determine whether this is even possible or not, which is why we’re engaging both sides.”
  • The high-level talks hosted by France Thursday were the first time since President Trump’s inauguration that top American, Ukrainian, and European officials are known to have met together to discuss an end to the war. French officials said a new meeting in the same format is expected in London in the coming days. Rubio said he could join that meeting, expected early in the week.
  • Rubio and presidential envoy Steve Witkoff have helped lead U.S. efforts to seek peace. Several rounds of negotiations have been held in Saudi Arabia. Witkoff has met three times with Vladimir Putin, Rubio said.
  • Moscow has effectively refused to accept a comprehensive ceasefire that Trump has pushed and Ukraine has endorsed. Russia has made it conditional on a halt in Ukraine’s mobilization efforts and Western arms supplies, which are demands rejected by Ukraine.
  • At least two people were killed and dozens injured in Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities overnight, the Telegraph reports. “This is how Russia began this Good Friday—with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, Shaheds—maiming our people and cities,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Who knew well pretty much everyone that has a brain that his promise was nothing more than a fanciful LIE.

But then that is what is expected from Little Donny and his Merry band of sycophants….lies and broken promises

I am not surprised….are you?
