Last Week At The Sh*t Show–17May28

Another dreary week under the boot heal of Donny and the Tech Bros….

Been a typical week from our Dear Clueless Leader….big talk about the senseless war to measuring DC for more destruction in the name of Trump.

Let’s begin with his ill-conceived war with Iran….we have seen what the price tag for this stupidity will but let’s look at what the price tag will be for you personally….

An updated analysis released Thursday finds that President Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran will cost Americans significant money at the gas pump this year.

The report, released by the office of Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), projects that if gas prices remain at their current level of over $4.50 per gallon, it will cost a US drivers an extra $73.06 per month—or $876 per year—to fill up their cars compared to what they were paying before Trump attacked Iran in late February.

For a family with two cars, this would mean forking over an extra $1,753 for gas this year

I am so glad this douche bag is putting America first.

As long as we are talking about the war with Iran….there maybe a name change coming….

The Pentagon is considering renaming the war with Iran from “Operation Epic Fury” to “Operation Sledgehammer” if President Trump decides to restart the full-scale bombing campaign against Iran, NBC News reported on Tuesday.

Sources also told NBC that the US currently has more firepower in the region before the US and Israel launched the war on February 28. “We are in a better spot now than on February 27,” a US official said. “We have more firepower and capability.”

The potential name change is part of the Trump administration’s effort to maneuver around the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which was an attempt to rein in the Executive Branch’s disregard of the Constitution’s requirement that Congress has the sole power to declare war.

The resolution does not supersede the Constitution and states that to introduce US forces into hostilities, the president must have a declaration of war or authorization from Congress, or a “national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces,” none of which the Trump administration had before launching the war.

The War Powers Resolution also includes a 60-day deadline for the president to end any unauthorized military action or obtain authorization from Congress, which has been falsely reinterpreted to give the president 60 days to wage war without congressional authorization.

And that is how you pull an end run on Congress.

And now for the more stupidity that is the Trump admin….

We all know that he wants his name everywhere and has set upon building more monuments in his honor….like the Arc De Trump and now a gold course in DC….

Along the banks of the Washington Channel in the nation’s capital sits the East Potomac Park, a popular green space offering 330 acres of open fields, picnic grounds, tennis courts, and lanes for running and cycling. At over 100 years old, the park is a celebrated “part of the culture in D.C.” But according to renovation plans obtained by the Washington Post, President Donald Trump wants to radically change the park, installing an “exclusive” golf course at the expense of public access.

“Based on the renderings being circulated to potential donors,” reports the Post, “the public golfing facility in the park that has long attracted hackers of all stripes because of its affordability and accessibility would be gone, as would a miniature golf course, the oldest continuously operating one in the country, which underwent a $1 million renovation in 2024. Hains Point, the tip of the peninsula popular with early-morning birdwatchers and weekend barbecuers, would be incorporated into the new course and seemingly inaccessible to anyone not playing golf.”

Donny is not through yet…..the Garden of American Heroes…..

President Donald Trump‘s proposed National Garden of American Heroes will take up a large portion of the Washington, D.C., waterfront – and won’t honor any Native Americans, Hispanics or Democratic presidents.

During the Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore in 2020, Trump gave a speech in which he vowed to establish the National Garden of American Heroes through an executive order as part of his second-term plan.

The order mandates the creation of a task force to establish this garden and to have it open to the public by no later than July 4, 2026.

The list of statues includes “historically significant” Americans, such as former presidents, Founding Fathers, frontiersmen, people who assisted with the discovery of America and African-American abolitionists.

This dick wad never tires of spending money on his vanity.

Now let’s look at some of the morons that enable this douche we have for a leader…..we will start with some fake pastor….

American Reformed Christian pastor, podcaster, and self-confessed plagiarist Dale Partridge says he knows one of the major causes of homosexuality among men, and it is “liberalism.”

Partridge made his comment about liberalism after watching a video of a transphobic MAGA influencer, Kaitlin Marie Bennett, asking questions to a college student dressed in a skirt. The student was part of socialist Democrat protest urging the president of the University of Central Florida to turn the school into a “sanctuary campus” that won’t aid federal immigration officials in arresting undocumented and international students.

The student fell silent when Bennett mockingly accused the student of acting like a “fascist” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer for having a reserved campus protest space meant to exclude her and other counterprotestors. The student’s silence seemed to stem more from a disinterest in participating in a bad-faith debate rather than an inability to debate their position.

After showing a part of Bennett’s video, Partridge said, “Not only does liberalism make men gay, it makes them incapable of thinking, okay? Liberalism is just, like, feminized politics. So the moment you hit them with equivalency or make them think in categories, they shut down.

If you think guy is a moron then wait until you read what Boebert has to say….

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) says that aliens from outer space are actually “fallen angels and Nephilim” from the Old Testament of the Bible, according to Right Wing Watch. On Friday, President Donald Trump released declassified government UFO files.

“God is the creator of the universe,” Congresswoman Boebert says in recorded video published Friday by Right Wing Watch. “He’s never not going to create.”

The Colorado Republican lawmaker said that it’s “always been something in my mind to say, ‘Well, how can we be the only ones?’ Like, God’s not going to stop creating just with us.”

Where did this mental midget get this “information”?

Responding to the disclosures, Jeremiah J Johnston of the Christian Thinkers Society attempted to debunk the files, offering a spiritual explanation for the mysterious lights and “orbs” spotted in the night sky.

Johnston went on to argue that, for him, UFOs can be categorized in four ways: misidentified objects like ice crystals or tricks of light; classified human technology like spy drones or satellites; angelic activity; and demonic activity.

I have 2 problems with his assessment…..”Christian thinkers and angelic activity…..christian thinkers I believe that is what is called an oxymoron.

How many rocks must they look under to find these complete idiots?

They just keep getting more silly by the week, huh?

Most news watchers know about the deadly ‘hantavirus’ that broke out on cruise ships….and Donny has an answer….under normal circumstances a prez would put an infectious disease expert in charge of any program involving this virus….but not our dumbass Donny….

When 18 American passengers who were onboard the MV Hondius were potentially exposed to Hantavirus, the Trump administration dispatched Dr Brian Christine to temper growing fears about another possible pandemic.

For a doctor who specialised in penile implants and surgical treatments for erectile dysfunction, the deadly outbreak is perhaps his most difficult public health challenge to date.

Once again Donny proves just how damn ignorant he is….a stable genius putting a penile implant doctor in charge of a deadly virus response….classic stupid.

But the silliest statement of the week was from the usual suspect….that idiot in charge….

On Monday, during a routine press event, president Donald Trump casually made an announcement that in any normal White House would have kicked off days of frenzied coverage — either about a revelatory inflection point in the history of medicine, or about the mental wellness of the country’s chief executive.

The president’s apparent claim? That an unnamed new drug can bring patients back from the dead.

“We’ve taken people that were dead,” Trump fomented. “We had a person given the last rites — gone, the kids are crying and everything — and started them on this drug. And the person became better. It works.”

You think we’re joking? Here’s the clip:

I think with that statement my post is done….there is only so much stupid one can write about before a drink is needed.

To try and talk people off the roof I give you a humorous video….

I hope you enjoy your Sunday and as always….Be Well and Be Safe….

  1. We have some of our own political upheaval going on with our government at the moment. But by comparison with the White House, you are living in a country ruled by people who should be in insane asylums.
    I can relate to the dog-calling video, as my Ollie could sense a packet opening from a hundred yards away!
    Best wishes, Pete.

    1. I keep seeing the your PM is a bit of a bother….yeah they do have the sense to know when it is time for that treat. chuq

  2. And to think there are people living in this country who actually think Donnie is the cat’s meow … and fully support his egotistical endeavors. The mind reels …

    1. In deed it does and if you notice the South is a hotbed of Donny worship….ignorance is their friend. chuq

  3. The week when he finally said his first and only true statement – that he doesn’t care at all about the financial pain of Americans. Doesn’t think about it at all. It was all his doing: he has ruined American lives, destroyed our standing in the world, and doesn’t care. Oh and he made tens of millions investing in companies he has the ability to grant deals to. The con is so far beyond the pale…

    1. It is a scam….a con….and some will allow it tho continue because of some stupidity of their prejudices…..chuq
