Trump Ruins America - Every Day Edition
Trump’s weekend missile parade to stroke his ego is a pathetic artifact of his political impotence. Rolled by China, ignored by Israel, beaten at cards by Ukraine, and with polling numbers dropping in every area, Trump needs a little Abrams M-1 tank Viagra.

Evidently there is some doubt the birthday parade will happen. Bad weather will be the "reason" but the truth may be that the crowds will be too small for Trump to feel properly honored. Word is DC hotels have not filled up with MAGA pilgrims.

In August 2024, Trump said of the Democratic Montana Senator Jon Tester (who lost that year): “He’s got the biggest stomach I’ve ever seen.” Trump even mocked one of his own supporters at an August 2019 rally, saying , “That guy’s got a serious weight problem. Go home, start exercising!”
These are all textbook examples of what psychologists call narcissistic projection . Trump is a crook (a convicted felon , in fact), so he calls other people crooks . He’s a liar ( The Washington Post counted more than 30,000 whoppers during his first term alone), so he calls other people liars (even a Gold Star widow !). He’s an ignoramus so he calls other people stupid . Trump’s obsession with other people’s weight is another manifestation: He’s an overweight man who calls other people (less politely) overweight.
How Trump’s Obsession With Weight Explains His Misrule

Donald Trump's inability to broker a continuing –– but tense –– peace between Israel and Iran has reportedly placed him on the outs with his MAGA base after Israel launched an attack that threatens a growing war in the region.

A video of Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) being tackled and handcuffed spread rapidly across social media Thursday after he interrupted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at a news conference in Los Angeles, where protests have raged all week against the administration's crackdown on immigrants, reported NBC News .
"It capped a week when the Democratic Party seemed to finally find its voice , in ways big and small, to push back against the administration," the network reported. "From California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s questioning President Donald Trump’s acuity to Padilla’s move to interrupt Noem to mini-rebellions playing out at the nation’s capital, Democrats began to break the hold Trump usually has on the news cycle."

Local Chicago news teased a story tonight that ICE are planning large raids on Chicago commencing in 48 hours or so.

Good. I hope they picked up a large amount of what was supposed to be future democrats...and I hope Johnson is crying loudly about it.
Too funny

Funding The War on Yourselves
Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will begin “winding down” FEMA after this year’s Hurricane season and, perhaps the more significant statement, that he will begin distributing disaster aid directly from the President’s office. In other words, disaster assistance will be the President’s personal gift, an assist for friends and those who display loyalty. It’s part of the broader pattern we can see across the horizon: Trump takes the policing and military powers of the United States and the national tax revenues (drawn disproportionately from the blue states) and uses it to make war on states he considers enemies.
Trump went to a performance of Les Mis at the Kennedy Center last night . A reporter on the red carpet asked him if he identified more with one character in the play or another, since Les Mis is his favorite play. Trump said "that is a very interesting question" and then asked Melania to answer the question. In other words , he has no idea who the characters are in his favorite play. Art mirrors life.
I'm not surprised. He doesn't exactly scream high brow entertainment.
I bet he knows the names and back stories of all the wrestlers though.

that would have been great
"Word is". You obviously don't have a clue what is the real reasoning behind the restriction. Trump had nothing to do with it. Commanders, on the other hand are all over it. Now I know this is a hard thing for the left to hear, but that decision is enforcement of Army Regulations. Particularly AR 600-9.
You could at least TRY to find something truthful.
Back in the old days (the 2024 presidential campaign), we heard a lot about how Biden needed to go because "the world was on fire".
Look around now.
Trump has utterly failed both in foreign policy and domestic policy.
Now he's talking about a prospective Israeli attack on Iran - what does Trump say - 'maybe it will help and maybe it wont.'
A federal judge just ruled that Trump didnt have the constitutional authority to federalize the California National Guard and ordered him to return control to the governor of California.
But he stayed his order knowing that it will be overturned.
Appelate court already ruled in trumps favor. Took an hour.
States rights.

List them? We'll wait.

I wouldn't hold your breath ...
Trump has signaled the intention to modify "mass deportation" so that it does not include farm workers, and "hospitality" workers.
MAGA wont like that.

Trump's underwater on every issue which now includes immigration.
It's so bad in an unbelievable about face, Trump says we need immigrants for hotel work, farming, etc.?????? What?? Who told him???
So you knew his donors were going to blow up when it started hitting their businesses.
Trump hires immigrants at his properties on work visas but yet his goons go after the same legal immigrants with work visas in all these high profile raids.
Absolutely insane, no thought to consequences of these excessive actions until the donors and billionaires pitch a fit making him backtrack.
