I Guess I’m Going To Hell

Bold statement I know but according to Donny that is what will eventually happen to me.

He made this statement at that lame convention while forcing a pledge from by-standers….

US President Donald Trump has threatened Americans who do not vote Republican will “go to hell”.

He started by calling himself “the greatest President in the history of the United States”, urging supporters at the convention to pledge allegiance to him.

“Please right your right hand,” he started. “I pledge to the greatest President in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can’t even breathe that I will go out with my family and friends, I’ll do it in any way, I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they [referring to the Democrats] do.

“I don’t want to waste the words ‘vote Republican’… If you’re going to vote, you’ll vote Republican.

“You know what happens if you don’t vote, you go to Hell, you know that, you go to Hell and I don’t want that to happen to you so please go and vote.”

(indy100.com)

There you have it….I am going to Hell….when the time comes do not send flowers….send ice water.

Actually I had rather shot myself in the nuts than vote for a republican….in 58 years I have never voted for a republican and never will.

Plus he basically ordered his minions to commit voter fraud….did I misread what he said?

Now what about the demand that supporters pledge to him and his greatness….is any of this really legal?

All this is in public record surely someone can use this in a legal battle….or am I just naive?

Gotta go…see you in Hell….

There Is Simple Solution For Dems

The clock is ticking on the midterms.

At almost every turn in the primaries the status quo Dems are losing to progressives (DSA if you really want to go there) and while fighting among themselves the Dems have overlooked the simple solution for their problem.

The GOP is running scared because of the DSA and the Dems are totally shocked that their brand of corruption and gutless governance has turned the voter off….

This is a really good observation about the Dems problem….

With the primaries winding down and several Democratic Socialists and other progressives having defeated more moderate Democrats, there has been a lot of hand-wringing on the center left about whether these “insurgents” are so radical that they will impede a blue wave in the midterms.

Since Republicans have few accomplishments of their own to run on and lack a platform that appeals to anybody other than their MAGA base, the right-wing propaganda machine has been working overtime to push the narrative that the Democrats have been taken over by communist lunatics.

To back up those talking points, they highlight some of the most radical ideas that can be found on the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — such as abolishing the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court — and the fact that real socialism has failed where it has been attempted.

To be fair, that last part is certainly true, and some items on the DSA’s agenda are way out there; but are they any crazier than, “Let’s give all the money to billionaires and hope some of it trickles down to regular Americans,” or “Our top priority must be the construction of a grand ballroom”?

Still, it begs the question of whether the Democrats have a socialism problem.

…

However, as the primaries have shown, there are also a lot of disenchanted Americans on the left who don’t feel that corporate Democrats are serving their interests or are even fighting for them.

Therefore, we would argue that the party doesn’t have a “socialism” problem, it has a policy problem.

The Solution to the Democrats’ DSA Problem Is Very Simple

There you have what is happening in a nutshell and it goes further than anything the MSM has offered up in recent months.

Me?  I love it and I will vote progressive every time….I just do not like the idea of calling them Democrats. ….for they are so much more than that tag.

The nation is beginning to wake up….and now when the elections in November roll around there should be all kinds of false BS spread and hopefully the voter will see through the crap and vote for what is best for the people and the nation.

Enough said?

Did The ‘Trumpapalooza’ Turn Violent?

Mercifully the clown show that they billed as a Mid-term Convention turn ugly?

Well according to reports it did just that.

The Republicans’ midterm convention in Dallas took a violent turn on Thursday as members of the crowd could be heard clearly calling for several prominent Democrats to be shot.

Senator Ted Cruz was delivering a speech during which he talked about New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Democratic Senate nominees Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan and James Talarico of Texas. As he did so, shouts of “he should be shot,” could be heard coming from the crowd.

Cruz did not appear to react to the calls for violence. “When Mamdani says he wants to seize the means of production,” Cruz began saying.

“He should be shot,” a member of the crowd can be heard shouting as the senator paused his sentence. “He means it, Cruz finished.

“When Abdul El-Sayed says he has an obligation to comply with Sharia Law,” he continued. Cruz paused again, this time more members of the crowd appeared to join in as they shouted, “He should be shot.”

“He means it,” Cruz continued. “And when James Talarico says he wants to dismantle capitalism,” the senator went on.

He was once more interrupted by shouts of, “He should be shot.” “He means it,” Cruz said again. The incident came shortly after Cruz had claimed that hate contributed to the assassination attempts on Donald Trump and the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk last year.

It’s unclear whether Cruz heard the shouts, though they were clearly captured in footage of the speech. Reacting to the incident, El-Sayed said that anyone who heard the calls for violence should condemn them.

Did you hear about this in the MSM…..I did not.

When was the last time you heard people that supports Dems yell shit like this?

The best answer is….you haven’t….even if some think that MAGA supporters should be shot and killed there is some restraint among the ranks.

But apparently Repubs hate so much that they ignore this type of crap from their pseudo-human followers.

Now I was thinking….was this incident a warning of things to come in November or in  January2027?

Will these harsh words turn into actions?

Whatcha think?

Political Corruption

Most of us agree that Washington is teeming with corruption that most of our elected officials are on the take in one form or another….if we know this is the case why is it never a political issue at election time?

This corruption has been going on for many years….we cannot lay the cause at the feet of Donny although it seems to be more out in the open since he has got his filthy hands on the reins of government.

Almost every week, there seems to be another story about the pay-to-play ethos that is dominant in Donald Trump’s Washington, DC. On July 30, the Wall Street Journal added a new one to the list.

The Journal described the president’s fervent interest in fundraising and how he checks almost nightly with his top fundraiser, Meredith O’Rourke, to find out “which companies and donors have cut checks and which haven’t, and for how much.” The story highlighted the way she channels his interest into making her pitch.

“’This is very important to the president. He’s asked me to call you and ask you for this donation…. The boss wants this money.’”

Nothing subtle there.

Then there is the way the administration has used tariffs as a lever to extract money and other things from businesses seeking relief or exemption from the tariff. For example, on July 31, MS Now reported that the Antwerp World Diamond Center in Belgium had presented the president with a large ring, which he dubbed the Freedom 250 ring, and that they subsequently received favorable treatment in Trump’s tariff regime.

That was no ordinary ring. It is made of eighteen-karat gold and is the size of a wristwatch. It has a hand-carved presidential seal on top, encrusted with 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 18 emeralds, and 6 rubies. And it has an engraved inscription to Donald John Trump. A few weeks after the gift was made, the report continues, “Europe’s diamond industry was exempted from Trump’s latest round of tariffs.”

The New York Times is right to caution that “There is no evidence that the gift of the ring directly affected the president’s thinking on the tariff exclusion for the diamond industry. But the new list of exemptions has renewed questions about which industries should be exempt from tariffs, and why.”

As blatant as his corruption is why do not the Dems use it against him?

There is a simple explanation….they are just as guilty and do not want an unflattering light shown on the them.

That is why we seldom hear about corruption in any election cycle.

Now is the time for this to be front and center for 2028.

But will it?

Trumpalaooza Part 2

AS the GOP mid term convention (laughable theatrics) continued our Dear Leader made a second appearance (he just could not stand not being the center of attention) but I admit that is was not as full of manure as the night before….

Let me breakdown the night….Vance was allowed out into public by Donny….

President Trump returned to the stage on the second and final night of the Republicans’ midterm convention in Dallas on Thursday, imploring the crowd to “go out and vote” to save his party’s majorities in Congress, the AP reports. Trump praised his own Vice President JD Vance, who delivered a keynote speech that was closely watched as potentially teeing up a post-Trump future. Although Vance has not said whether he will run for the White House and Trump has yet to name an heir apparent, the crowd roared “JD! JD!” when he stepped to the microphone.

The president organized the convention in hopes of energizing supporters who often turn out for Trump but not for other candidates. “You got to do me the biggest favor you’ve ever done,” Trump told the crowd. “You’ve got to do this for me.” At one point he led the crowd in a repeat-after-me pledge to vote on Nov. 3. The second night of the convention showcased some of the most electorally endangered Republicans in Congress and those challenging Democrats in tough races, as well as another potential presidential hopeful: Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who railed against liberal Democrats.

Vance also delivered searing criticism of Democrats, calling them “the party of hatred.” And even though Republicans have faced their own rifts over Trump’s war in Iran and other issues, he urged them to remain united for the midterms. “Don’t give the country over to a bunch of crazy people because you happen to disagree with us on a policy issue here or there,” he said. When a protester with a Mexican flag interrupted his speech, Vance won an extended uproar of approval with his response. “Well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your a— over there. I’ll buy you a plane ticket,” he said. “We got to send a message this November,” Vance said. “This country was handed down to us by our parents and their parents before them. We received this national birthright, and we are going to fight for it by electing Republicans this November.

Vance was strutting like he had something to say….but he was just parroting what Donny told him to say and playing to a crowd of morons…..he appeared a clown without his make-up.

Like I said meaningless theatrics….mostly laughable and expensive….a colossal waste of time and money.

In short it made a great sleep aid.

Be thankful you had much better things to do…..like watch paint dry.

“Trumpapalooza”

That is what the fake GOP convention for the mid terms is being called…..

This past Wednesday was the mid-term convention (why was this political bullshit needed?) and the key note speaker will be Uncle Donny and his humorless babbling speech.

First of all what and why is the ‘convention’ a necessity?

Come on….you know why….Donny cannot pass up a chance to be the center of attention and a canvas for his bullshit.

So why hold one in the first place? Trump has said he wants to recreate some of the spectacle of a presidential convention and, more importantly, get his supporters to turn out even though his name isn’t on the ballot. “Pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot,” he recently told supporters. “Just come and vote.”

Now that we settled that….let’s move on to the theater of the absurd, the convention….

And he did not disappoint me in the least…..after a wealth of BS from MAGA-ites and even one Dem, Fetterman, Donny took the stage to speaking with his adoring minions….as usual it was choked full of manure, promises and out right lies….

President Trump wants Republican voters to picture his name on their November ballots, even though it won’t be there. Speaking in Dallas at the start of a two-day RNC midterm convention, the president urged GOP voters to treat the elections as a direct referendum on him, the Wall Street Journal reports. “I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot,” he said. “Just one more time, because if we lose, you’re going to lose your border. You’re going to lose your tax cuts. You’re going to lose your safety and security. You’re going to lose your wealth.”

Trump is pushing to keep both the House and Senate in GOP hands for the last two years of his term, and he has sounded the “pretend I’m on the ballot” theme on the campaign trail in recent weeks. That strategy comes despite his approval rating hovering in the low-to-mid 30s and warnings from some Republicans that tying the midterms so tightly to him could backfire. The concern: Candidates already strained by high gas prices, the ongoing Iran war, and affordability worries may struggle if voter frustration spills over onto the party brand. Trump, for his part, has insisted that voters are angry at Republicans generally, but not at him personally.

More notable lines from his speech:

  • “If the Republicans win the Senate and House, because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend,” he said. The AP calls the plan, which would cost more than $1 trillion and would require congressional approval, “dubious” and said Trump offered no details of how it would work. Trump also said the money would need to be spent in the US, but similarly offered no details of how that would be enforced.
  • Trump also painted Democrats as extremists, the AP reports. “If we hand America’s future to the radical-left Democrats, our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet,” he said. “Vote Republican and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come.”
  • On the subject of the Iran war, he appeared to acknowledge it has hurt the economy, noting that before the US attacked, he told economists, “I hate to do this to you.” He claimed Iran was “two, maybe three weeks away from having a nuclear weapon” before the attack.

$5000 now there is a lie that will garner votes from idiots.

Now for the Dem that braved the stage (on video) at a MAGA rally….and make no mistake it was a rally nothing else….

Sen. John Fetterman delivered a moment at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday that neither party was expecting. The Pennsylvania Democrat appeared via video on opening night, calling himself a “common-sense Democrat” who rejects “extremes and socialism.” Standing outside a Pennsylvania steel mill, Fetterman promised to work with President Trump and GOP Sen. David McCormick, his Pennsylvania colleague, to “defend the steel way of life,” the New York Times reports. Fetterman already had fallen out with Democrats in his state, the AP notes; he polls better with Republicans. After a Wall Street Journal investigation on his conduct in office ran last week, per Axios, Pennsylvania Rep. Brendan Boyle, a Democrat, posted on X that, “John Fetterman is a disgrace.”

Fetterman is a gutless piece of ….

All in all the night did not disappoint for I was expecting nothing more than Donny thumping his chest like a sex crazed primate and a bunch of adoring yes men that graveled at his feet….and that is just what I got.

And the beat goes on

Donny Will Quit After Midterms

More juicy bullshit from Carville

There is always someone on the interweb that is predicted this or that around Donny….his health, his mental problems and so on…..but this one I found and thought I would post to get reactions if possible.

The Mouth of the South, Carville, is predicting that Donny will bow out after the midterms and Vance will advance to the seat of power…

The so-called “Ragin’ Cajun” James Carville has sensationally predicted that US president Donald Trump will resign from office following this November’s midterm elections, which are widely-tipped to yield a disastrous result for the Republican party.

Carville, who was the strategic brain behind presidential candidates such as Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, told the Daily Beast Podcast: “He’s going to walk away.”

Trump simply lacks the strength to face the crushing defeat headed his way, Carville argues: “He’s a soft man.” A medical expert has also suggested that Trump’s health is ‘getting worse’ after spotting several worrying signs

Concerns have also mounted over Trump’s health, with noticeable signs including drowsiness, swollen ankles, and dark bruises on his hands.

Current projections indicate that the Democrats have a 76.9% chance of securing a majority of seats in the House, a number that has climbed consistently in recent months. The president will bear the brunt of his party’s collapse, Carville says: “They’re going to blame [Trump] – the whole culture is going to change. The whole conversation is going to change.”

https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/donald-trump-will-quit-after-37623128

Seriously?

This dinosaur of past Dem glory is smoking crack.

Keep in mind that Carville pukes up something and the media runs to him….only because he had some success in the 90s….today he is a grumpy old man that carves attention.

This is a brain fart of an aging pundit that desperately wants to stay in the news so he belches out bullshit every chance he gets.

Does anyone seriously think Donny will give up his stranglehold on the country voluntarily?

I don’t….but what do I know….some aging pundit with more mouth than brains just keeps puking up fanciful bullshit.

Please do not hold your breath.

Please let me know what you think of this pile of manure.

To Fight The Imbecilic Fight

There is so much happening around Donny that the Dems could be focused on….but no they had rather join in the imbecilic fight among themselves.

As usual the Dems are proving just how worthless they truly are with this tired discourse on progressives.

There was an opinion piece in USAToday that highlights this useless fight.

Once again, Democrats are playing into Republican talking points. It almost seems like they’d rather incite fights among factions of their own party than try to keep the opposition from controlling the narrative, or remind voters of the disastrous Republican reign of the past two years.

In an ABC News interview that aired Aug. 9, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, was asked about comments former Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong had made in 2020, saying the country should “cancel Thanksgiving.”

“And I have a local city councilman that has this saying ‘Woke 1 was crazy,’ and I think that what’s important is that we have to assess what a candidate is saying now,” Ocasio-Cortez said, referencing an X post by New York City Councilmember Chi Ossé.

I don’t think Hong’s comments in 2020 were smart – I don’t necessarily think they’re why she lost the Aug. 11 primary election, but I also concede that they were the perfect fodder for Republicans to attack her with. I’m just frustrated that, of all the things happening in this country, members of the left are choosing to critique one another instead of everything happening during President Donald Trump’s second term.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2026/08/24/woke-meaning-republicans-democrats-redefine-policy/91341106007/

Come on people the president is at a weak moment and there are midterms on the horizon and yet instead being on the attack they are slap fighting among themselves and using tired dinosaur strategists from the past to do some of the hard lifting in the media.

Once again the Dems prove just how incompetent they are and the need for the progressives to thrown their worthless butts out.

This fight is doing nothing but taking away from the fuck ups of Donny and making people think back to the 1950s when they should be laser focused on the future.

Will this be a winning tactic for 2028?

I think not….I think they are handing the GOP just what they need to make a successful run in 2028.

Do Unto Others….But First

The GOP has been accusing Dems of trying to fix elections or allowing immigrants to run  rampant or well you get the picture….but as far as voter fraud goes there have been more GOpers caught than Dems….and the GOP is not above some disgusting dirty tricks to win elections.

This one caught my eye this morning….

A Missouri House primary race allegedly came with a side of hardball that crossed into felony territory. Federal prosecutors say Republican candidate Thomas Ross schemed for weeks to plant cocaine and Adderall on his primary opponent, Louise Secker, in an attempt to sink her campaign, the Missouri Independent reports. Ross, who won the GOP nomination for the state’s 161st House District by just 32 votes last month, was charged Wednesday with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. Investigators say Ross’ former campaign manager told police about the plot, saying the candidate told him to plant the drugs in Secker’s purse or vehicle while she was out of state on vacation, reports the AP.

According to an FBI affidavit, the then–campaign manager went to Joplin police in July with a glove holding a baggie of cocaine and an Adderall pill, and shared text messages in which the pair allegedly used code phrases like “the substance of the matter.” The manager later wore an FBI recording device to Ross’ home on July 31, less than a week before the Aug. 6 primary. He said he still had “the bag and addies” and could tip off police about drugs in Secker’s car. Ross allegedly replied, “If you can pull it off…pull it off.”

“The American people deserve confidence in an electoral process that has served our nation for generations,” said R. Matthew Price, US Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, said in a news release. “Candidates are expected to conduct their campaigns with integrity, honesty, and respect for their opponents, allowing voters to make informed decisions without fear of misinformation or undue influence.” Peter Kinder, chairman of Missouri’s Republican Party, said the arrest was “serious and deeply troubling” and urged Ross to drop out of the race, the AP reports.

These are the types of people the morons among us are electing….

“Candidates are expected to conduct their campaigns with integrity, honesty, and respect for their opponent”….when was the last time a GOPer held to those characteristics?

If he decides to stay in the race he may just win….after all it is Missouri.

Anything to add?

Readers going to Daily Agitator has fallen off so I re-post this to hopefully generate some interest in my secondary blog.

AS the way that our political system is functioning is with 2 parties that are basically the same party just with minor differences but I ask why they are needed.
