Another week of silliness and absolute stupidity….
The war with Iran is still on-going….threats against Cuba are mounting….and the idiot cannot control his mouth.
As usual Donny had to embarrass himself in front of a foreign dignitary….
President Trump made a Pearl Harbor joke while hosting Japan’s prime minister at the White House on Thursday, reports the Hill. Asked by a Japanese reporter why he didn’t inform allies such as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in advance of the attack on Iran, Trump invoked the infamous attack of Dec. 7, 1941, per the Independent.
- “We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan?” said Trump, addressing the reporter. “Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” he added. “You believe in surprise, I think, much more so than us.”
Takaichi’s reaction:
- “As Trump said that, Takaichi’s slight smile appeared to drop, and she raised her eyebrows,” per the AP.
- “Takaichi widened her eyes and appeared to take a deep breath,” per the New York Times. “She kept her arms crossed in her lap and did not speak.” The Times story notes that US presidents have typically tread cautiously when discussing Pearl Harbor in public, given Japan’s status as a staunch ally.
Only our frail little Donny could be so stupid.
More antics from the ass kissers in his admin…..
A federal arts panel appointed by President Trump has endorsed a new 24-karat gold coin bearing the president’s image, deepening a dispute over whether a sitting president should appear on currency. The Commission of Fine Arts on Thursday approved a US Mint proposal for a commemorative coin for the nation’s 250th birthday showing Trump leaning on a desk with clenched fists, based on an official White House photograph now in the National Portrait Gallery. A Mint official told the commission that Trump personally signed off on the design, the Washington Post reports. Trump removed the previous panel members last year and appointed loyalists in their place. No commission members raised any objections at the meeting, per the AP, but there were concerns.
They want the image of Trump to be big, “as large as possible,” said architect James McCrery II—maybe 3 inches in diameter. “I think the larger the better,” said Trump aide Chamberlain Harris, adding that that would be the president’s preference, per CNN. “I think the president likes big things,” added McCrery, the original architect of Trump’s plans for a White House ballroom. Usually, new coin designs are reviewed by both the arts commission and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, but the latter panel declined last month to take up the Trump gold coin proposal. “It’s wrong. It goes against American culture and the traditions that drive what we put on our coinage,” said Michael Moran, a Republican who was appointed on the recommendation of then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Such coins typically sell for several thousand dollars.
Another moronic moment was when Donny pouts that Iran is retaliating….
Answering the question (well, not really), Trump went on a lengthy rant about how difficult it was to bring ships into the Strait of Hormuz, as the owners were sceptical about investing billions of dollars in the effort. Then, at one point, Trump quite shamelessly expressed surprise that Iran was retaliating by applying pressure to the US, as if it were breaking news that a country he was attacking was defending itself and striking back as well. His exact words in this context were, “So, it’s it’s uh little unfair. You know, you win a war, but they have no right to be doing what they’re doing.”
Can you believe the stupidity of this twat?
While Donny is wasting money with an ill conceived war his main concern is how he can get a national holiday….
For the past year, President Donald Trump has been asking his advisors how he gets his own holiday.
Zeteo, the site founded by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, was told that “on separate occasion over the past year, Trump has talked to longtime advisers about what it would take to officially make his birthday a national, federal holiday.”
It is bad enough that he wants his mug on Rushmore and he wants a huge arc, wants his mug on money, all in all this idiot is just plain insufferable….and some voted for this….
Speaking of the mental midgets that voted for this twat….
President Donald Trump has received unanimous backing from MAGA voters in a new poll — a result that left a television analyst stunned.
On Wednesday morning, CNN data analyst Harry Enten took stock of the president’s base of support as the war in Iran entered its third week, intensifying across the Middle East and fueling concerns about global economic fallout.
“Sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you and this is one of those,” Enten said on News Central.
He pointed to the results of a recent NBC News survey, which found that 100 percent of self-identified MAGA voters support the Republican president, while zero disapprove.

Think about that and the4 upcoming elections.
Donny is always hawking some cheap merch from China and now in the middle of a war he is hawking ‘kicks’….
And of course they are gold material.
While Donny is hawking his newest junk our deficit hit $39 trillion…..
The gross national debt surpassed another milestone, reaching $39 trillion this week, according to the U.S. Treasury. It was just October 2025 that it reached $38 trillion.
Another way debt is measured is the debt held by the public, which is preferred by economists, according to Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
“Surpassing $39 trillion in gross debt is an embarrassing milestone that both parties have helped build over decades, and neither seems particularly interested in addressing it before we hit $40 trillion,” MacGuineas said in a statement Wednesday.
“No matter what metric one chooses to examine our fiscal trajectory, we are clearly headed in the wrong direction. Gross debt is now $39 trillion; debt held by the public recently surpassed $31 trillion for the first time; deficits are approaching $2 trillion; and deficits as a share of the economy are twice as large as the 3% goal many economists and bipartisan policymakers believe we ought to be targeting,” she added.
Finally I oppose the instituting of religion and the Speaker is a full blown idiot that thinks god talks to him….now he has thoughts on separation of church and state….
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday explained his long-held opinion that the concept of the separation of church and state is often misinterpreted.
“The separation of church and state is a misnomer,” Johnson said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“People misunderstand it,” he continued. “Of course, it comes from a phrase that was in a letter that Jefferson wrote. It’s not in the Constitution. And what he was explaining is they did not want the government to encroach upon the church — not that they didn’t want principles of faith to have influence on our public life. It’s exactly the opposite.”
Johnson suggested Tuesday that the nation’s founders believed religion and morality were central to the government.
“They knew that it would be important to maintain our system,” he said. “And that’s why I think we need more of that — not an establishment of any national religion — but we need everybody’s vibrant expression of faith because it’s such an important part of who we are as a nation.”
While it is technically true that the words “separation of church and state” are not written in the Constitution, many legal scholars have said that the phrase is a reference to the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment.
I personally do not give a shit about his religious beliefs…..and he or anyone should be able to force those beliefs on others.
He is a religious twat.
Now that I have made your Sunday a little gloomy allow me to lighten the mood.
Huskies are the most vocal and dramatic of canines….I know I lived with one….these are not one off but rather typical behavior for all Huskies….they make life so damn interesting.
I hope there were a few smiles…..please enjoy your Sunday and as always…..Be Well and Be Safe….
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Only the mindless are unaware of the complaints being made against the prevailing idiocy in washington and a big portion of the electorate and conditions that you are talking about are quickly becoming the new boring norm in a decadent social order on the verge of implosion…so why waste the time?
If we didn’t complain and nod to each other in agreement we would implode and then explode and someone would have to clean up the mess. Better whine than have to wash down the walls with cabolic acid.
Judy….LOL well said chuq
The political incompetence of the 1850s lead to the chaos of the 1860s….we are looking at that destructive trend once again. chuq
…what he [Jefferson] was explaining is they did not want the government to encroach upon the church. But according to Johnson, it’s OK the other way around.
Christians LOVE to “interpret” things … which is why there are so many ways to read the bible and a different church on every corner.
There is always something lost in translation as well as stuff added. chuq
Re: Husky video — that one scene where the guy was pulling chunks of hair? That, for me, is a BIG reason I probably would never own a Husky. Love their looks, temperament … but not their shedding!
Nan that double coat is a problem when warmer weather arrives….but they are well worth the aggravation because of their personalities. chuq
Trump also got the PM of Japan to lay a wreath on the grave of the airman who dropped the atom bomb on Nagasaki in 1945. When she got back to Japan she told her parliament that “I will never set foot in America again”. I have an American blog follower who voted for Trump, and he fully supports the attacks against Iran. He said that is because ‘The women need to be free in Iran’. But killing them with bombs and missiles first is acceptable to him, I presume. And this is a former college teacher who can speak foreign languages and has lived in France. There is no hope for America recovering from this administration now, every country in the world except Israel, Hungary, Argentina, and Russia hates America. The damage is done, even after Trump is dead. You need to have a country-wide general strike, mass protests, and civil disorder. Instead people are arguing about celebrities’ weight loss, and calling Democrats ‘Communists’. The dumb have control now.
Best wishes, Pete.
I fear you are right….the near future is being lost to the ignorance. chuq
