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.

Did I miss anything?

The “JD Vance Curse”

Most of us know of that religious dickwad we call VP….but have you noticed that everything he touches turns to shit?

This is a look at this ‘curse’ by Buzzfeed….makes for some interesting reading…..give it a try….

Let’s talk about something people are calling the “JD Vance curse.”

In case you didn’t know, the VP is on a bit of a losing streak.

Some say it all started when he, you know, kind of maybe allegedly helped kill the pope.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/jd-vance-curse

Just puts this clown in the light that he deserves…..and amateur trying to wear big boy pants.

Time for him and his boss to disappear from our memories.

Whatcha think?

“lego ergo scribo”

Who’s Next?

There has been lots of discussion about Donny and his possible pursuit of an illegal third term…..but let’s look past this debate and look at what we can expect if he decides to step aside and give JD a chance to  rule the roost.

I know many people want to see Donny gone….one way of the other…..but what would be better….JD or A third Donny?

How old does JD Vance think is too old to use the n-word? How about saying “I love Hitler” or making jokes about gassing your political enemies?

These are absurd questions to be asking of a vice president, but they keep coming up because he keeps brushing off revelations that young Republicans have used racial slurs and other hate speech by insisting they’re just kids. When Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE staffer, was terminated earlier this year over racist, pro-eugenics tweets, Vance insisted that such revelations should not “ruin a kid’s life.” On Wednesday, when Politico published the contents of a group chat containing several young GOP leaders, Vance came to their defense in a similar fashion.

This wasn’t a college group chat. Its members were leaders in the Young Republican National Federation, which includes members up to the age of 40. William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used variations of the n-word. Peter Giunta, who was chief of staff for a New York assemblyman until he was fired on Tuesday, joked about murdering his opponents. Hendrix is 25. Giunta is 31. Vance, for what it’s worth, is 41. Before being tapped as Donald Trump’s running mate last year, he was also known to hang out in group chats with other young Republicans, some younger even than Hendrix. Is 41 too old to face consequences for your actions?

Vance’s repeated insistence that young adults should never be held accountable for using racial slurs is notable in and of itself. But his larger refusal to condemn depraved allies or even to distance himself from them is part of a larger trend. Most political norms—and the laws of political gravity that helped keep them in place—are long gone, replaced by an intense tribal loyalty that turns any scandal into an opportunity for whataboutism. This, it seems, is an early preview of Trump’s lasting political legacy: Republicans are no longer apologizing, nor are they pushing out racist, bigoted allies when they inevitably find themselves embroiled in controversy.

If the nation has the misfortune of electing JD things would not be too much different than today.

JD is a creep, a liar and a racist bastard….not too far from his Number One….

Repubs have a different person in mind….

A new YouGov survey shows that a large number of young Americans are getting behind Donald Trump Jr. as the dark-horse Republican candidate for the 2028 presidential election.

The poll revealed Trump Jr. has strong support in the 18-to-29 and 30-to-44-year-old demographic ranges.

More than a quarter of Republicans and right-leaning independents under 30 pegged Don Jr. as their “ideal” choice to lead the GOP ticket in 2028. It’s a 10-point increase from April.

What’s more, 53 percent of voters aged 18 to 29 and 55 percent aged 30 to 44 said they would consider voting for Don Jr. in the next Republican presidential primary.

Any thoughts on this possibility?

Those Bastards On The Far Left

Many of the mindless drones on the Right are spouting lots of crap about all those on the far Left…..especially those dolts in the Donny Praise Society unknown as the Cabinet and especially that idiot number 2, Vance…..

His latest statement is a typical of a mindless regurgitation….

Vice President JD Vance hosted an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show from the White House on Monday, and his guests included White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who said the killing of the show’s namesake will lead to a crackdown on leftist groups that he described as a domestic terror movement. “With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people,” Miller said. Vance said the White House would “work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.”

  • “The organized doxxing campaigns, the organized riots, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting people’s addresses, combining that with messaging that’s designed to trigger and incite violence and the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence,” Miller said. “It is a vast domestic terror movement.” He said the crackdown would happen “in Charlie’s name.”
  • Vance opened the show by saying he was “filling in for somebody who cannot be filled in for, but I’ll do my best,” the AP reports. He said Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, told him the 31-year-old was never “cross or mean-spirited” to her. “I took from that moment that I needed to be a better husband and I needed to be a better father,” Vance said. “That is the way I’m going to honor my friend.”
  • Later in the show, Vance said that he was “desperate” for national unity, but that there can be “no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.” “When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out,” he said, per NBC News. “And, hell, call their employer. We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility, and there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”
  • “This is not a both-sides problem,” Vance said. “While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left.”
  • Vance’s other guests included Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Kennedy described Kirk as a “spiritual soulmate” who “orchestrated” his endorsement of Trump last year at an Arizona rally organized by Kirk’s Turning Point USA group, the Guardian reports.

As someone who has been on thee Left most of my adult life would you please tell me who these ‘extremists’ are?

They have no f**king idea who they are it is just red meat for those worthless spineless supporters to keep them in their corner.

It is just like all those they call socialists….in actuality none of them would know a socialist if he walked up and bit them in the ass….it is nothing more than a simple slogan that is easily remembered by the mental midgets.

Now idiot in charge has called for an assault on the Left….

President Donald Trump revealed on Monday that he was considering designating Antifa and other far-left “radical groups” as domestic terror organizations following the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Asked, “Do you plan on designating Antifa finally a domestic terror organization?” the president responded, “Well, it’s something I would do, yeah. If I have support from the people back here– I think we’d start with Pam, I think. But I would– if you give me– I would do that 100%, and others also, by the way. But Antifa is terrible.”

Trump then added that there were “other groups” he would also consider designating as domestic terror organizations, remarking, “They have some pretty radical groups and they got away with murder.”

“Also, I’ve been speaking to the attorney general about bringing RICO against some of the people that you’ve been reading about that have been putting up millions and millions of dollars for agitation,” he concluded. “These aren’t protests, these are crimes what they’re doing.”

Trump received renewed calls to go after Antifa – which has a lengthy history of engaging in violence – following the assassination of Kirk at Utah Valley University last week.

Trump Says He Wants to Designate Antifa, Other ‘Radical Groups’ as Domestic Terrorist Organizations: ‘They Got Away With Murder’

This is such bullshit!

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ‘terrorists’ but antifa is…..you morons realize that antifa is NOT an organization there is no ‘leader’, there is no national headquarters it merely stands for anti-fascist.

Can they say that about the others?

They have NO idea what they say or what they want to do other than keep people divided and rabid.

Especially Blondi, DoJ, and her most recent statement….

Attorney General Pam Bondi has doubled down on her attack on free speech after a MAGA backlash, vowing to use the full force of the law to crack down on left-wing people using violent rhetoric to silence conservatives.

“Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime,” she posted on X.  (too bad that does not include all the hate speech)

“For far too long, we’ve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over.”

(thedailybeast.com)

They just cannot help themselves….

Speaking again on Tuesday, days after the killing, Trump said that “most of the violence is on the left.”

But the data tells a different story. In the last five years, 81 people have been killed by political violence in the United States. Right-wing terrorists account for over half of those murders, some 54%, according to research by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. Islamists account for 21%, and left-wingers for 22%.

The same study looked at data as far back as 1975 and found that terrorists inspired by Islamist ideology account for some 87% of all deaths (3122) from political violence, due to the mass casualties of the 9/11 attacks.

Excluding the 9/11 attacks, over the same period, terrorists inspired by right-wing ideology are responsible for 63% of deaths from political violence during that time, compared to 10% for left-wing attacks. Since 1975, there have been 391 deaths caused by right-wing terror attacks in the United States, and 65 deaths from left-wing terror attacks.

Trump’s First #2 Speaks

Donny’s first time at bat he had Mike Pence as his #2 now he has come out of the closet to voice his opinion on the policies plaguing the nation.

In the interview he covered 6 January riot, tariffs among other issues and situations.

Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized President Donald Trump’s across-the-board tariffs on Monday, arguing that a looming “price shock” to the economy and potential shortages will lead Americans to “demand a different approach” from the White House.

In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Pence rebuffed Trump’s recent comments that children in the United States will have to make do with fewer toys.

Trump’s first-term vice president also said he sees some of Trump’s actions as sharp breaks from what he said were the successes of their administration. That includes “wavering support for Ukraine” in its war with Russia and the “marginalizing the right to life” that Pence said followed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s selection as health and human services secretary.

Now watching Trump’s return to power from the sidelines, Pence said he plans to make a public case on those issues — in part so that Trump might hear arguments those in his White House aren’t making.

“Whatever the future holds for me, I’m going to try and be a consistent voice for those conservative values that I think are not only the right policy for the Republican Party, but I think they’re the best way forward for a boundless future for the American people,” Pence said.

The former vice president’s comments came the day after he received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award for his actions on January 6, 2021, the day Trump supporters attacked the Capitol. Pence faced pressure from Trump to use his constitutional role presiding over the counting of electoral college votes to seek to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

In the interview, which took place at the JFK Presidential Library in Boston, Pence said Trump “sent the wrong message” by pardoning or commuting the sentences of more than 1,000 supporters who rioted at the Capitol.

I was never a fan of Pence but I will give him his props for not being one of the ass kissing slugs surrounding Little Donny.

It will be interesting how His Majesty handles the ‘disrespect’ he will surely claim.

Do you any thoughts on this?

Vance Goes To Rome

Breaking News–Sorry to inform the faithful.

Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican said in a video statement on Monday, ending an often turbulent reign marked by division and tension as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution.
He was 88, and had survived a serious bout of double pneumonia.
And the world will mourn and await the announcement of the new pope.
But this post is about the meeting of VP Vance and the Pope on Easter….
Vice President JD Vance met briefly with Pope Francis on Sunday to exchange Easter greetings, after they got into a long-distance tangle over the Trump administration’s migrant deportation plans. The Vatican said they met for a few minutes at the papal residence in Vatican City “to exchange Easter greetings,” per the AP. Vance’s office said that they met, but provided no further details. In all, Vance’s motorcade was on Vatican territory for 17 minutes. Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, and the pope have tangled sharply over migration and the Trump administration’s plans to deport migrants en masse. Francis has made caring for migrants a hallmark of his papacy.
After wards there was a difference of opinion on the exact results of this meeting….
Vice President JD Vance met with the Catholic Church’s top diplomats at the Vatican on Saturday, in the shadow of Pope Francis’ criticism of the Trump administration’s deportation policy and Vance’s theological defense of it. The tension was reflected in the official statements released after Vance met with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, and Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the foreign minister, Politico reports. The Vatican reported that an “exchange of opinions” took place on international issues, “especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”
White House recounted the agenda differently, saying that Vance and Parolin “discussed their shared religious faith, Catholicism in the United States, the plight of persecuted Christian communities around the world, and President Trump’s commitment to restoring world peace.” The pope has expressed disapproval of the Trump administration’s moves against immigrants while maintaining relations in keeping with the church’s tradition of diplomatic neutrality, per the AP. Before the meeting Saturday, Parolin told an Italian newspaper that the “current US administration is very different from what we are used to and, especially in the West, from what we have relied on for many years.”
For me I will take the pope’s word on the meeting for Vance has been shown to be lying POS.
I am waiting to see if there is some conspiracy that springs up around this meeting….after all moments after meeting with Vance the pope dies…..surely there is a conspiracy theory in there some where.
Whatcha think?

Who Will Get The VP Nod?

For a couple of months now there has been a wealth of speculation on just who Donald the Orange will pick as his running mate…..we will know for sure at the RNC Convention this Summer….but until then there is a list that many think are his choices.

Donald Trump appears to be zeroing in on a running mate. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s campaign has requested vetting documents from eight people, sources tell the Washington Post: GOP Sens. Marco Rubio, JD Vance, Tom Cotton, and Tim Scott; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum; Republican Reps. Elise Stefanik and Byron Donalds; and a member of his own former cabinet, Ben Carson, who served as secretary of housing and urban development. Coverage:

  • Axios has a rundown on what Trump likes about some of the candidates, noting that the No. 1 thing the former president is looking for in a VP candidate is loyalty.
  • NPR runs down the “pros and cons” of the top contenders.
  • USA Today reports on recent comments from Donalds, who is Black, suggesting there was an upside to the Jim Crow era in America. “You see, during Jim Crow, the Black family was together. During Jim Crow, more Black people were not just conservative—Black people have always been conservative-minded—but more Black people voted conservatively,” the congressman said during a Trump campaign event Tuesday. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had a blunt response to that: “We were not better off when people could be systematically lynched without consequence.”
  • CNN reports that Scott, who is also Black, has launched a multimillion-dollar outreach effort aimed at getting more Black and Latino voters to back Republicans at the polls.
  • Interested in what the casting director for the West Wing would do, if this were all a TV show? Well, the Daily Beast spoke to him, and he put Vance and Cotton at the top of his list. They’re “both standard, unimaginative, low-risk choices. That’s not my style of casting, but I think it might be appropriate casting in this environment.”

I agree that this election is as boring as watching flies mate….but you could put some funny in it by starting a pool on who his, Trump’s, decision on a running mate will be.

Make your pick and have some fun….

1–Marco Rubio

2–JD Vance

3–Tom Cotton

4–Tim Scott

5–Gov. Doug Burgum

6–Rep. Elise Stefanik

7–Rep. Byron Donalds

8–Ben Carson

9–None Of The Above

Personally I do not think he would want to lose a senator he needs help with women and Blacks….Carson and Stefanik are my choices.

Do you have anything you would like to add?

If you are bored with this election it will not go away so at least have some fun.

Trump’s Number Two Sweepstakes

After the tally was counted on Black Tuesday it became very apparent that Trump will have no problem gaining the nomination for president for the GOP….if that is true then who will he choose to nestle up to him as his VP?

I and others have come up with a not so short list of possibilities…..

Here we go….

Elise Stefanik–NY Rep.

Tim Scott–SC Senator

Kristi Noem–Gov. SD

Doug Burgum–Gov. ND

Sarah Huckabee–Gov. Ark

Dr. Ben Carson–

Add ons….

DeSantis–Gov. Fla

Vivek Ramaswamy–billionaire

Byron Donalds–Rep Fla

Tulsi Gabbard–Hawwaii

And have even heard Tucker Carlson batted around as a possibility as well.

I do not think that Donald will name a woman….he will want someone that will kiss his ass and sit in the corner for 4 years….to me that sounds like Ben Carson or Tim Scott.

The one name that sort of surprised me was that of Tulsi Gabbard….that closet hater from the 2020 election….who showed her true colors once the election was over with….do not trust her!

You have my list….do you have a better one or would you like to give your take on my list?

If so I am all ears.

Closing Thought–10Aug21

Pres. Joe Biden has been and is riding high in the approval polls….sadly his VP cannot say the same thing……

A Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released Monday found Biden’s approval dropping to 52 percent. He may still be above water — only 43 percent of respondents disapprove of the job he’s doing in the Oval Office — but he’s down 10 points from where he was in June, when his approval was at 62 percent.

But like I said VP Harris is not that fortunate….

Forty-seven percent of registered voters polled had an unfavorable view of Harris, compared to 45 percent who had a favorable view, the survey of 1,997 registered voters conducted between July 16 and 18 found. 

The same poll found 52 percent of respondents holding a favorable view of President Biden, with 45 percent holding an unfavorable view.

These falling poll numbers are a bit disconcerting for Dems…..

Democrats are rightly worried by Harris’s anemic poll numbers. But her poll numbers have always been bad–except for one brief moment when she exposed Biden’s awful record on race, then immediately retreated. Every progressive policy she claimed to support was transparently an election gimmick. No one likes or trusts a prosecutor, especially one who aggressively harassed the poor and powerless while letting apex financial criminals walk.

Like I keep saying….calling either Biden or Harris a progressive is a disservice and an out right LIE!

Our two leaders are puppets of cash….corporations own them and that will NEVER change.

Look Ahead To 2021

This post just ask a couple of question that needs to be considered before one places their “X” in the box on election day.

Let’s look ahead….and theorize that the Biden/Harris ticket wins the election……

So Joe Biden is president….now what?

Assume Joe Biden wins the presidency. Assume as well that he genuinely intends to repair the damage our country has sustained since we declared ourselves history’s “Indispensable Nation,” compounded by the traumatic events of 2020 that demolished whatever remnants of that claim survived. Assume, that is, that this aging career politician and creature of the Washington establishment really intends to salvage something of value from all that has been lost.

If he seriously intends to be more than a relic of pre-Trump liberal centrism, how exactly should President Biden go about making his mark?

Here, free of charge, Joe, is an action plan that will get you from Election Night through your first two weeks in office. Follow this plan and by your 100th day in the White House observers will be comparing you to at least one President Roosevelt, if not both.

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2020/08/13/joe-biden-wins-then-what

With said…let’s jump ahead to 2024.

Biden will be a one term president and his VP, Harris, will likely be the Dem candidate for president in 2024…..the question now is …can she win the presidency?

Since John Adams first held the VP post in 1789, 14 of 47 vice presidents have gone on to become president,1 making it the most likely — albeit still far from certain — stepping stone to the White House. The number of vice presidents who have sought the presidency has really skyrocketed in modern times, too. Of the 13 VPs since the end of World War II (excluding Vice President Mike Pence), eight — or more than half — have gone on to become their party’s presidential nominee. However, as you can see in the table below, far fewer — just three — have won a presidential election, and just four have become president at all. Biden, of course, is hoping to become the fifth modern VP to accomplish this feat.

That’s not a great batting average, especially when you consider that both Lyndon Johnson and Gerald Ford first became president because their predecessors could not finish their terms — in Johnson’s case, because John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and, in Ford’s case, because Richard Nixon resigned. At 77, Biden is the oldest major-party nominee in history and, if elected, would be the oldest president to hold the office, so without getting too macabre, there could easily be a scenario in which his VP must finish his term.

Could Kamala Harris Win The Presidency In 2024? Here’s What History Tells Us.

I am going out on a limb….Harris will not be elected president….the only way she will make to the Big Chair is if Biden dies in office.

Sorry if that is a downer for you…..
