Barney Frank....end of a damn era there.

Two Chinese supertankers slid out of Hormuz Wednesday carrying four million barrels that had sat in the Gulf for two months, and a spray-tanned gold-plated fascist chwat-chewer stood at a podium claiming Iran's leaders are begging for a deal — while Brent crude hits its highest since 2022 and the U.N. cuts global growth to 2.5%. Low-income families eat the cost first. They always do.

What happens when you give a serious mob boss a $5.5 trillion tax revenue budget and $1 trillion military budget. Check out POTUS. He's having the time of his life. And his "gang" of followers can't get enough at the trough. Meanwhile, the boss sails along with his Retribution and Grifting presidential agenda. We are way beyond sanity. POTUS is bat-shit crazy. Remember when the national, partisan political fights were about how best to serve the American people, not rip them off. Trump MUST be removed.

PEACE, LOVE, RESIST's avatar

Let’s not call his 1.776 billion a “slush” fund. Call it a reparation fund so that when African Americans demand reparations, they can’t say there’s no money for it.

Joyce's avatar

I love this! And it explains why ShoddyToddy Blanche called it a slush fund in his lying session before Congress--doesn't want those uppity Black folks to think they can have any.

insert_something_creative's avatar

Do you mean "reparations" instead of retribution?

That is what it is. Instead of reparations to Black people for slavery, it's reparations for facing the consequences of their actions of January 6th (or whatever other crimes they committed).

They are firmly against "reparations" so calling it that would probably drive them insane.

Indicting Raul Castro -does the indictment cover the formaldehyde is his arteries and veins? 🤦‍♂️

DebJS's avatar

Is it so they have an excuse to send in the FBI et al. to arrest him like they did in Venezuela? So that could happen at any moment without warning?

Emma Ray's avatar

A never-ending nightmare!!

Crabby Canuck's avatar

People have been saying 'Trump MUST be removed' since Trump 1.0. Now that we're deep into Trump 2.0, WTF are people doing about it? Nothing, I tell you. Absolutley fucking NOTHING! You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Linda Weide's avatar

Each day I am not surprised, but I am shocked by the corruption of Trump. Part of the shock is the American acceptance of his bad behavior. There seems to be a stupor with people not knowing what to do, at least not legally.

On top of all this, and leaving the Iran war in a state of permanent mess, Trump is again going aggressively after Greenland and Cuba, and seems Canada too, but trying to slip it under the media's radar. It is like he has to do everything on his agenda before the midterms.

Trump may be more corrupt than Richard Nixon who carried an illicit war on Cambodia and had the Watergate Files. He is more corrupt than George Bush whose halfwit brother Jeb and the corrupt SCOTUS stole the election for him. At this point he seems to be the most corrupt president that we have had, if not in the top contenders. We have given presidents a lot of leeway in the past, and it has been a mistake. Trump is banking on that and running away with it, particularly as the election comes closer and he gets more desperate. We need to stop him.

If you are a US citizen or have US residency, would you please read my piece explaining the Free Speech for People campaign to impeach Trump AND his cabinet and help them get 2 million signatures by signing the petition in it? https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/indivisible-abroad-supports-the-impeach?r=f0qfn

I am not shocked by his corruption. The total shock for me is the treason on the part of the republican party. They have the power to stop him, so what they're telling America is 'we are trump', so shut up. We must hold on until Nov., and State Governor's must activate the National Guard ahead of time to protect and secure the election. Only a fool would believe trump won't try to thwart it.

RZolu's avatar

My fear is that he will employ Musk to fuck with the elections just like he did in 2024. Think about it: ALL 7 Swing states went to him with just enough votes to not require a recount? Musk's baby mama yesterday saying that Musk told her he was doing this on Election Day? And the repugnicans are crying that our votes are fucked with? Ya right - by them!!

Tex237's avatar

Their strategy included disqualifying enough black votes to assure his victory. If all the black votes had been counted, Kamala would have won in most of the swing states. Remember, it's no longer about who votes; it's about whose votes get counted.

FilmArtPhoto's avatar

The Fat Demented Fuck absolutely did NOT win the 2024 election, and Elon was instrumental in his alleged "victory".

They are absolutely planning to pull this shit off again, and his Shitty Ballroom is just a cover for his Dictator Palace Bunker. He is paying off Jan 6'ers now so they can afford the gas to drive to his Palace Bunker and support his insurrection AGAIN. He needs them.

Theresa Palmer's avatar

It's a fact that the interference of Musk with his pot of gold (remember the 'lottery' he was holding?) pushed Stupid across the finish line, yet audits of their hijinks reveal that Kamala actually had the clear, unadulterated votes. This cyber thievery must be investigated next time, in real time. He is now desperately trying to buy the favor of the thugs of Jan 6. He lives a shallow existence.

Bonnie Council's avatar

OMG, just posted similar thoughts, then saw your comment so deleted mine. I definitely think Musk will do some dirty work. Otherwise why has he suddenly reappeared on the scene, just when trump's poll numbers are the lowest ever?

Linda Weide's avatar

I am watching a podcast where they are saying now that Massie is out he is getting the guts to stand up to Trump, but they are all terrified of being "primaried" by Trump.

Cyndi's avatar

Massie himself said in his concession speech something to the effect of "Look what I've done in the last five months despite Trump. And I still have seven more months!"

Also Cassidy lost his primary and came back to DC to immediately vote in favor of the Senate rejection of Trump's war in Iran.

Trump is his own worst enemy. ETTD.

Bob's avatar

These defecting Republicans are calling it YOLO, which I take to mean “you only lose once.”

Joyce's avatar

It just reveals their traitorous priorities: Donnie Demento can do anything he and Putin want, as long as the Republican weenies can keep their jobs. Go ahead and commit every crime in the books; destroy the US....just don't primary me.

HulitC's avatar

Meaning it’s Republican Americans who are to blame.

Linda Weide's avatar

While I have had Republican friends, I was friends with them despite them being Republicans, not because. At this point, I have no Republicans in my life, so my frustrations go to those who do not vote. Republican voting is destroying the planet in many, many ways. At least life for our species.

Robert Eckert's avatar

He is the most corrupt by such a wide margin that there is really no comparison.

Jeffry D Heise's avatar

I think dictionaries both print and online are just using Trump's picture to define corrupt.

Linda Weide's avatar

I don't know. It certainly seems so, but I am not aware of what others did that we may not know about.

Rosemary Orlandi's avatar

I really don't think there is anyone in in our own history to compare with this pres.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Under Nixon the big scandal that made him fire his chief of staff Bob Haldeman was a $350,000 slush fund. On the tapes, Haldeman had warned him that might not be enough to silence the Watergate burglars, "Those guys might cost us a million over the next couple years." Nixon responded, "I know where we could get a million dollars, I could get it in cash" (it is widely believed he was speaking of Jimmy Hoffa whom he'd recently sprung from jail; Hoffa was disappeared soon after).

Cue Dr. Evil demanding "One MEEELLLION dollars!" Trump would call that chump change.

Before that, the Harding administration was considered the most corrupt: the Secretary of the Interior went to jail for a $400,000 bribe and the Attorney General for a smaller bribe; the head of Veterans' Affair (not then of Cabinet rank) stole and resold some medical supplies. For comparison to today's dollars you need to multiply by some factor between 10 and 20; I can't be bothered to look it up right now but we are still nowhere near Trump's scale.

DeBurgh's avatar

Now we are talking about 1,700 millions. And he's just getting started!

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

"May be" more corrupt than Nixon? He passed that bar a looooong time ago.

Linda Weide's avatar

This is the German in me. More careful when speaking in absolutes.

DebJS's avatar

During his first term, capped off with an insurrection against the Government as part of a multi-faceted attempt to steal the election he lost. After that, the SCOTUS-6 gave him immunity and all bets were off.

Chris Hierholzer's avatar

I'm not shocked anymore. I just worry about who's gonna make a run for the pumpkin heads burgers when the shit starts flying.

We are both fully aware of the goniffs organized criminal beginnings at birth. His descent down the gilded escalator wasn’t where his transnational criminal syndicate scheme began though.

I’m still waiting for a mall filled with people shouting Liberté, égalité, fraternité, with carts full of our billionaire overlords, robber barons, mountebank sludge like Trump, and his administration …waiting for their turn at the guillotine and basket!

Denise Donaldson's avatar

I don't think the Mall will be big enough. I think there will need to be an open space that will hold many tens of thousands of people, at least. Maybe choose the middle of the Great Plains for the tumbrils and guillotines.

Thanks for the Claudia picture. I just met a 3-year old on the bus today with her preschool group going back from an outing. She told me her name is Lotte and her mom's name is Claudia, and then I remembered why that seemed familiar to me in addition to it being the name of my sister- in-law. Claudia's serenity is a nice contrast to the Trump ickiness.

Aw dang. I liked him in office but that's also sad that he ended up messing up his legacy.

I admit I did like the "It'd be like talking to a table" response to a heckler.

I've been thinking about Dwump's ShitDanceHall which now comes with sniper nests and a mass drone control center. On sale at only $1B.99. How the fuck does Dumpsterfire think that will work come 2029 January 20th? Is he going to run to the bunker under the Ballroom with the Joint Chiefs and they'll help direct the "anti-insurrection" effort to forcibly disarm the populace? If so, he really is completely delusional bug-fucking-nuts. My guess is none of the Joint Chiefs will join him, because their oath is to the Constitution. It all "cutsie" fun & games about disregarding the constitution when its small shit deportations (I "joke", actually its all really fucking important, screwing with citizens and legal immigrants). But using the US Military against the civilian population? A. the US military is forbidden from doing that. B. it Joint Chiefs would see that also as oath breaking. But ok, lets say one or two of the Joint Chiefs is just as MAGA looney as Dwump's followers. How would they maintain command and control from under ground? Some sort of secure link? How long do you think the rest of the US Military command & control infrastructure would listen to orders to suppress the US population? They also swear an oath to defend & obey the US constitution. My guess is, what happens instead is the Virginia National Guard, with a US Army detachment sets up a perimeter around the ballroom, cut the water, power, and communications, jam whatever other signal the bunker can send, sit back, and have a round of cigarettes (or other non-cancerous libation).

Pete Gorton's avatar

could they build a wall ... with Mexico paying? (or Canada, or for that matter, the rest of us in RoW, who are sick to death of this unbelievable sh!tshow)?

Mr Mild - BlueVotingBastard💙's avatar

Mrs Mild interviewed Barney back in the 70s for a school project. IIRC part of it was shown on one of the local news channels in Boston.

I think Barney may have been a State rep at that time.

"I hate to be paranoid, but what’s the real agenda here? what happens on January 20, 2029, when, instead of getting the fuck out of the White House like he’s supposed to, Dear Leader chooses to lock himself into the fortified bunker of his Epstein Dance Hall — the one with the sniper nests and the ginormous fucking drone arsenal on its roof?"

Answer - We seal him up in it, and anyone stupid enough to be with him on that day.

Sharon C Storm's avatar

That has been my thought too. Make that his own prison cell.

Kim Nesvig's avatar

If I recall correctly, there was this other fascist leader who locked himself and then ended his own life in a heavily fortified bunker.

Frank Nuts's avatar

In the basement should we leave him:

—a loaded Luger pistol (for ceremonial purposes of course)?or

—maybe an indoor putting green with exploding golf balls? or

—some varm milk perhaps?

—Ovaltine?

Who the h-ll is going to be left to come after him if he’s sealed in his bunker? I won’t put my money on the chance he will copy that page from the Hitler playbook.

Right! Since he's turning OUR White House into another profitable trump resort, We The People can terminate his electrical supply, and put our duly-elected POTUS in a different house. Let him have the property he's defacing and destroying. He and his minions can rot there, for all I care anymore.

Joyce's avatar

Cut the power and the water. They might emerge when the supply of Twinkies and Diet Cokes runs out.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Once the Diet Coke runs out, hang that little fuckstain who fetches it for him and puts national security uber-top secret files on a plane to his divorced widows graveyard in Bedminister, NJ.

DebJS's avatar

And garnish his bank accounts as partial reparations.

Kim Steeves's avatar

I've often thought that the whole White House will need to be torn down/apart to remove his stench from it!

Wondering Woman's avatar

Certainly massive fumigation will be needed. And plans to restore the Rose Garden and remove all the gilded tat that the PAB added.

arne link's avatar

On the plus side, the restoration will supply a lot of jobs. Mexicans are really great at construction. How ironic if they are hired to do all the jobs.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

And, as someone said months ago, there will also have to be extensive smudging.

Rosemary Orlandi's avatar

yes indeed. picture a fleet of planes dropping bombs of sage on DC .

Denise Donaldson's avatar

That would just about do it!

BJ Zamora's avatar

No, but there would be an army of volunteers in line outside the WhiteHouse to tear off the walls all that gaudy Hobby Lobby spray paint gold junk.

Lois Henry's avatar

Saw that on Wonkette followed by the suggestion of filling it with concrete poured through a hole.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

I rather like the idea of turning it into an anaerobic septic system - no oxygen required.

Chris Ortolano's avatar

I agree - start with the air vents.

Nancy Braus's avatar

seriously- yikes! He wants us to pay to create a building that can act as an impregnable defense so he can fight off any possibility of a successor in 2028? I hadn't seen that one coming. This is not on the corporate press- the word needs to get out, because he has been threatening since the day he stole the 2024 election to free his cult of the burden of future elections. Like an insurance policy in case the Tina Peterses of the country can't steal enough votes, enough Black voters aren't scrubbed from the voting lists, and in case ICE can't shit on enough people on voting day.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

And Elon Musk's Starlink is shut down.

PTW's avatar

Sadly, I ***had*** seen this coming. Hence the panic on his part about completing this fortress ASAP. Why he is obsessed with it. He has no intention of leaving.

The good news is, he will officially be just a squatter on government property then, and can be dealt with as the criminal trespasser that he is. He will **NOT** be "president" as of noon on January 20, 2029.

P123Sunny's avatar

Why doesn’t anyone ask the R Congresscritters AT EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY? They are enabling ALL OF IT…. yet we’ve been trained to focus on the one or two who crossover vote - totally ignoring the 50 or so that vote as an inert CLUMP… DON’T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK‼️

Is Part 2 of the answer "then set fire to it"? Here's another fundraiser idea! Sell tickets/matches for the privilege of burning the dance hall to the ground.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

I like the idea, but doubt the thing is burnable. If, in fact, it gets built.

Just like is done to reactors that melt down: just fly over and pour concrete on it to bury it.

Then we can cover it with dirt and plant roses on it. With apologies to Boston, we can then call it the Bunker Hill Rose Garden.

A bunker protected by snipers and drones is only as good as the snipers and drones protecting it. Unless the generals are also compromised, those snipers and drones will not be in protection mode, but in extraction mode.

I doubt it will be anywhere near complete by 2028, or if it is, its construction will be so shoddy that storming it won’t be a problem.

Easy for us white people to say, but not so easy for POC to feel reassured. One issue comes to mind is all the federal judges appointed by 45-47(!) that will take awhile to cycle out.

Susan, Donny clarified that the Dance Hall was for our snipers, and not enemy snipers. you would hate to have a federal government building deliberately engineered to accommodate the wrong snipers. that would make about as much sense as letting a racist game show host in cognitive collapse be president.

Jayme, sorry to disagree but he got the ‘abnormal do not use brain’ so if he lives that long it will be the same bullshit constantly he has never been any different. Thrown out of the house of Fred and into a military school and they didn’t want him either.

I agree with you 100%!

In one piece of good news Trump endorsed the guy who is almost as corrupt as he is for Senate in Texas. Let’s see that shitkazoo Paxton try to sell Trump-onomics in the general campaign. Talarico’s odds of winning that seat just increased, maybe by a lot

Richard Dorset's avatar

And the other news of note on this subject is that the Rethuglican Senators are of so upset that Trump knifed Cornyn in the back. Their reason? Cornyn was the most prolific fundraiser for them. Typical. Trump damaged us. The damage he is doing to the country? Nah! Who cares

The war will be against the Constitution, when it is time for the despot to be removed. That's also why none of the creatures in the unreconstructed Republican Party have even announced a desire to run for President even with two years to go. They don't want to anger him or his millions of cultists.

So in essence the war will be against us. America's Pilonidal Cyst deffos intends to be in the bunker and not be removed. So we'll see who decides to join him in it (well if this thing can even get built).

I'm thinking the price is going to keep multiplying and we should hit $2 billion by September.

The war against the constitution was over in February 2025. The constitution lost.

"Someone" is his 26 y/o mistress.

From what I understand, she’s more of an acolyte who believes fatfuck cured her cancer. But it is about as weird a relationship as anything in the history of this hemisphere.

Jeff, to answer your question: I think he knows just how much people hate him and his regime, and because he projects all his horrid thoughts on others, he anticipates a crowd literally coming to kill him. My 2¢

Denise Donaldson's avatar

I don't think he's psychologically capable of knowing that, Abby. His narcissism won't permit it. OTOH, he might very well believe that the evil, corrupt, insane Dems will rise against him because they're so jealous of his hundreds of accomplishments.

Abby From Maine's avatar

You may be right, but either way he is aware that people want him dead.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Well, after three assassination attempts---maybe one or two of them real---yeah, he should get the picture...

Abby From Maine's avatar

Ha! All staged to distract from Epstein! But he knows how many protest his existence!

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Not sure the second one was staged, but yeah, sketchy across the board.

Does he really know how many protest his existence? At this point, I wouldn't bet a nickel on how much Rump is told about real news. My guess is that the only information he gets is what his handlers approve.

William's avatar

/agree. the psyche is more malleable than people probably like to admit- just ask a real hypnotist. I would speculate if you took a previously normal person and placed them in an environment where all day everyday they were surrounded by people who told them how wonderful they were and how they were always right and how great all of their ideas were and let them do and say whatever they wanted without consequence, they would become a malignant narcissist and lose touch with reality.

come to think of it there must be a character like that in, Shakespeare? maybe a movie...

Denise Donaldson's avatar

I wouldn't bet that Rump was normal to begin with. I come down on the side of the argument that says sociopaths are often hard wired. And yes, given his family, any ASPD tendencies must have been reinforced a thousandfold.

Donnycon and his friends and family are looting the US treasury and actively destroying the country. What will be left after this reign of terror?

rlritt's avatar

Its just outrageous. And whats more outrageous is that his supporters don't care.

US Blues's avatar

Well, like Cassidy, Massie, Cornyn, and many others they FAFO the hard way about ETTD (everything trump touches dies). Credit to Rick Wilson for coining ETTD.

He's going to barricade himself in there in case of removal from office.

And he'll surround himself with J6'rs, Proud Boys & Oath Keepers flush with reparation cash and mail-order weaponry.

No what he'll do is have ICE and Jan 6 people and other thugs harassing voters on election day. He has already said he will surround polling places with armed guards to prevent illegal (non trump) voters from voting.

Yep. Maybe they'll hang VD.

1. Donny needs his dance hall so he can keep fighting his imaginary demons.

2. There are some real kings that we can be gracious to. Donny isn’t a king nor is he one person that we owe any graciousness to while he’s fucking the U.S. over

3. Can one actually paint a lake?

Cheri Collins's avatar

With waterproofing, no less.

SPW's avatar

I’m almost certain Donny has such friends(people who paint lakes, that is). Hell, he’ll dig ‘em up if he has to. As for what’s left of his plaqued up brain, god only knows what will erupt from it next but rest assured his blond blow job with the printer will be coming up with some good ones.

Kay-El's avatar

Donny has no real friends and all the contractors he knows, he doesn’t know.

rlritt's avatar

Its funny, I dont think Trump has any friends. I think he thought Epstein was a friend, but I think Epstein regarded him as a mark.

Pam Humphrey's avatar

What’ll he do when he figures out that fewer and fewer are afraid of or intimidated by him any more?

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Yes---with watercolors.

Yep, I'm low enough to go for that one. 😉

Frank Nuts's avatar

Only Donnie can paint a lake Kay-El. He said so. And that’s why we elected him…I guess

AuntTeeFa's avatar

Your Claudia was quite the accomplished and attractive lady. You definitely married up😉 hope those photos are as soothing for you as they are for us.

It’s been a minute since the last nadbuster, so thanks for that too!

Two candidates that I traveled last month to canvass for won their primaries last night!!

So I’m gonna spend the day smiling about that and the strong possibility that bellwether Pennsylvania means this whole shit show is gonna turn around in the midterms!! and ignore the never-ending cacophony for today ✌️

The standard bot post on all the websites defending Fetterman is: "The majority of the country thinks he's a hero." My standard response is: "More like a potato."

Cyndi's avatar

My answer has been "The majority of the country thinks he's a Zero."

Rosemary Orlandi's avatar

why does the majority think he's a hero ? because he votes like a republican ?

rlritt's avatar

How is he a hero? Because he votes against Democrats?

Frank Nuts's avatar

Rlritt, it looks like the end justifies the means over and over and over…ad Infinitum

It’s the republican mantra: “I’ve got mine, F all y’all including poor people, immigrants, non whites, women who don’t know their place, democrats, gays (except for closeted gays like Lyndsay) and trans (except for closeted trans like Trump…oh, you didn’t know — he looks absolutely stunning in a pink tu tu — to die for). Can’t get that picture out of your head? — you’re welcome.
