Last Week At The Sh*t Show–26Apr26

I now return to my regular schedule postings…..

“I’m the one guy who says don’t force the stupid people to be quiet. I want to know who the morons are”   Mark Cuban

A full week of a loud mouth firing off his mouth before his brain is loaded (considering if there is a brain in there)….each week the GOP and MAGA boneheads get more and more silly.

I see Donny who use to say he was a ‘stable genius’ is now saying of himself….he described himself: “extraordinarily brilliant.”  Okay that is laugh worthy!

I see our clueless leader is still harping on that he deserves the medal of honor…..

Donald Trump likes to receive honors and awards. Just look at how happy Trump was to get the first ever FIFA peace prize or when Venezuela’s María Corina Machado gave Trump her Nobel Peace Prize medal (to clarify, he may possess the medal, but he’s not been awarded a Nobel). And he apparently wants to expand his collection by awarding himself the Medal of Honor. In a conversation about the war in Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has “mused [that] he should award himself the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor.”

Trump thinking about potentially giving himself this honor isn’t new, though it hasn’t lost any of its cringeworthiness with time. It was one of the most embarrassing moments of Trump’s State of the Union. During his speech (via YouTube), he seemed to acknowledge why he wouldn’t get it: “I was informed I’m not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn’t know why I’d be taking it. If they ever open up that law…” The week before, during a speech in Georgia, he said that he should get the Medal of Honor for going to Iraq to visit the troops in 2018. He said, “That’s a little stretch if I gave myself one. … Someday I’m going to try.”

As a veteran who served two combat tours in Vietnam I am disgusted by Donny’s take on the war….

President Donald Trump blurted out a stunning claim about the Vietnam War in a CNBC interview — which was made all the more stunning by the fact that he avoided service in that war and called avoiding an STD his own personal Vietnam.

Trump famously avoided the Vietnam draft through a series of deferments that included a medical claim of “bone spurs” that has been discredited by the family of the doctor who made the diagnosis.

Decades later, Trump made repeated references to the avoidance of STDs as his own “personal Vietnam,” telling Howard Stern in one interview that “It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

But in a lengthy interview on Monday morning’s edition of CNBC’s Squawk Box, Trump brought into bold relief the consequences of his sacrifice in sitting out the war when he told the show’s co-hosts that “I would’ve won Vietnam very quickly.”

Trump Blurts Stunning Claim About Vietnam War — Which He Avoided Serving In

He’s a fucking idiot!  I have no use for the people’s opinion that did not serve…..their words are hollow and ignorant.  (Forgive the racy tone….I do have my buttons)

For me the silliness crap is all this holier than thou bullshit from Pistol Pete and Dumbass Donny….these people along with the likes of that slug Speaker want to force religion upon this nation….

Nearly 250 years after the founding of this nation, the United States finds herself at a crossroads, asked to choose between two different visions of what it means to belong to the American family.

One path leads to a Christian nationalist rebranding of America based on the alluring myth of religious and national purity, where Christian and American identities are synonymous, and where Christians are tasked with holding authority over all essential aspects of American civic life.

The other path is a return to America’s pluralistic roots and the endeavor to create a society in which people from diverse religious traditions can freely bring their gifts and aspirations to bear on a shared diverse democracy.

These blockheads are doing what they accused Muslims of wanting to do about 20 years ago.

Plus the Congress and Donny and the board of crooks are trying to legislate morality….cannot do it…..why?

The moral argument for not making laws about many—especially victimless—activities is that people have a right to live their own lives so long as they don’t hurt anybody else. That’s a convincing case for those of us who naturally gravitate to a live-and-let-live take on life. But it’s unpersuasive to the growing ranks of those inclined to control freakery in these illiberal times, and who believe the state should step in to control bad things. The strongest rebuttal to the authoritarian case is that people so vigorously disagree as to what constitutes “bad” that efforts to regulate a whole host of activities invite noncompliance. Recent polling provides evidence that Americans disagree on many issues.

When it comes to what constitutes an immoral activity, Americans have some common ground. According to recent Pew Research polling, 90 percent of us believe it’s immoral for married people to have an extramarital affair. Two percent say it’s morally acceptable and 7 percent believe it’s not a moral issue at all. That low opinion of cheating is shared by 93 percent of Republicans and 88 percent of Democrats. At least 90 percent of Catholics, Protestants, and Jews agree. Eighty-nine percent of men and 91 percent of women concur, and at least 89 percent of all age groups also morally disapprove of stepping out on a marriage. The weakest disapproval comes from atheists, “only” 84 percent of whom call extramarital affairs immoral, and 5 percent of whom say they’re morally acceptable.

Personally I think these efforts by the GOP are immoral and I refuse to bow.

Here is one for you…..Donny is thinking about bailing out an oil producing country…..

The Trump administration is considering whether to provide financial support to the United Arab Emirates as economic fallout from the U.S. war with Iran ripples across the region.

Emirati officials have discussed possible relief measures with the White House, including a currency swap, if the country’s economy deteriorates further. The talks come as shipping disruptions tied to the Strait of Hormuz continue to threaten oil flows and regional stability.

The issue was raised last week by Central Bank Governor Khaled Mohamed Balama during meetings with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. While UAE officials have indicated their economy remains stable for now, they have signaled that assistance may be needed if conditions worsen.

Trump Considers Billion-Dollar Bailout For UAE, Biggest Backers His Family Businesses, As Iran War Strains Allies

Tell me there is not something hinkey with this proposal.  Why does a nation where no one has to work because of oil revenue needs a bailout.

Plus Donny’s Board of Peace just got an infusion of over a billion dollars….Donny’s family will be tapping it I am sure….

In January 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing an organization called the Board of Peace, whose stated purpose is to promote peacekeeping around the world.

Three months later, in April 2026, social media posts online claimed the Department of State had authorized the transfer of $1.25 billion in funding to the board. Social media users claimed the transfer effectively placed the money, which was supposedly intended for international relief and peacekeeping efforts, directly in the hands of Trump, the board’s chairman.

Trump and the board’s executives control funding for the Board of Peace — and Trump selects the executive board — and the president will continue to do so even after his second term ends in January 2029.

You know how the GOP is always blaming someone for their stupidity…..this one takes the cake for the week….

Robert F Kennedy Jr has dismissed any suggestion that his vaccine skepticism has contributed to measles outbreaks across the U.S., instead placing the blame on immigrants.

“It has nothing to do with me,” the Health Secretary told lawmakers at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Tuesday, in which he was questioned on his department’s budget for 2027.

“If you’re worried about polio and tuberculosis, you should look at the immigration policies in this country. ’Cause the place where it’s occurring are the place[s] where the immigrants are going, because they’re not vaccinated.”

This idiot is as brain dead as the moron he works for…..

That is enough corruption for this Sunday…..let me put a small smile on your face….

I hope that made up for the awful news I brought forth.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and as always….Be Well and Be Safe….
