Please do not be so insulting to cunts. Cunts are warm, feel good, and serve a purpose.

It was unavoidable. Really. I mean, what did you expect? The only other option available was voting for a <gasp!> black woman. No need to get crazy or anything here.

And Zelensky called him out on it. He literally told Vance that he’s never been to Ukraine, and Vance literally responded with the political equivalent of “I’m not a real army general, but I saw one on TV once.” . Like holy shit, you watched some news reports and you think that gives you the right to tell a leader of another country how to fight a war when you don’t even have the fucking balls to stand up to your own boss, who’s long since shown to be a fucking cuck himself?

Fuck JD Vance. Him, Trump, and Musk. I hope they all fucking choke on each other’s toes.

And for the record, I’m not saying Zelensky is perfect, but right now I’d consider him the greatest wartime leader since Churchill. 3 years in, and he’s at least holding a stalemate against an enemy that on paper should have been able to roll over him in 3 days. There any way we could send Trump over there and have Zelensky run here? I’d take him gladly over anybody in our government right now.

It’s cringe every time he says it.

And it’s a huge tell. People know that if they come in and basically tell Trump what a big manly man he is, Trump will just give them everything they want anyway. It’s not even a secret. World leaders have gone into press conferences basically saying as much.

I’d love to play poker with the man. I swear you could just keep dealing me a 2 of diamonds and a basic Forest from Magic: the Gathering, and I’d still be able to take the guy’s house in about an hour. And I’d play with my hand face up.

It’s literally a national embarrassment caused solely by Trump because his fee-fees were hurt.

In the past week, we’ve seen Trump sitting in the oval office and making a national embarrassment of himself in front of THREE separate world leaders: France, the UK, and now Ukraine. Three. In one week.

This is a national embarrassment.

This is literally doing permanent damage to America’s reputation. We can’t even say “We didn’t know” because we saw what Trump did during his first term, what he promised on the campaign trail, all the illegal and corrupt activity he’s involved in, and we re-elected him anyway. We knew, we re-elected him, and he did exactly what he said he was going to do. That is going to be an awfully steep hill to climb for the next President who’s going to be tasked with repairing the damage Trump caused.

The meeting started out with Musk – who has absolutely no business even being involved in our government – openly mocking Zelinsky’s attire like he’s a high school bully picking on the poor kid in the neighborhood. This is what we are projecting to the world.

I would also like to point out that while companies such as AP and Reuters have been banned from the White House, Russian state media was allowed in.

This couldn’t have been a bigger win for Putin if this meeting was followed up by a shot of Trump sucking on his toes.

So much embarrassment, so much national and global damage, so much damage to America’s reputation. All in one meeting. Decades of work, pissed away by two nepo babies and their fragile egos.

Have you been paying attention lately?

They’re being reported as if they were because our government is acting as if they are. Those EOs are all being enforced. Some are on temporary hold, but SCOTUS has already signalled they’re going to rule in Trump’s favor in the end, and Congress has done exactly nothing to stop them. The most you’ve got is a bunch of judges asking pretty please while threatening no consequence if Trump ignores them. Given that they’re actively being enforced, they basically have all the force of law in practice until somebody actually says otherwise and has the power to enforce it.

Notice how none of these judges attempt to attach actual consequences for ignoring the order. Every single one of these orders has been exactly nothing more than the judicial equivalent of asking “pretty please” and hoping the administration will just magically become benevolent and comply.

And that’s because every single one of these judges is trying to avoid the question of what happens when a judge threatens consequences, Trump tells them to go fuck themselves, and then they actually try to enforce those consequences. Because they all know what will happen. Trump will continue to ignore them and suffer no consequences as a result. They are desperately trying to hang on to the illusion that they are a co-equal branch of government, knowing full well that the curtain has been all but pulled and they are about to be relegated to merely an advisory panel that, with no enforcement mechanism available, can be safely ignored.

They’re doing this in the somewhat ironic hope that most people won’t notice it’s all they’ve got. They’re hoping that people will remain fearful of a judicial system that threatens enforcement while only having the illusion of enforcement. But at the end of the day, they know that all they’ve got to answer the question of “What are you going to do about it?” is a whole lot of nothing.

I’d love to see someone prove me wrong, but all I’ve seen are a bunch of judges going well out of their way to avoid it entirely. The last time a judge even tried, Trump violated court orders ten fucking times and received no consequence. And that’s when he was a private citizen. What do you think is going to happen when a judge tries the same thing with the same guy who is now President? The judge will be in a cell before Trump would be. And that’s the “good” outcome.

This is what people don’t seem to understand.

These boycotts are already priced in. The most you’re doing is mildly annoying some financial bean counter in middle management who might have to make a slight adjustment to a month-over-month sales report, and that’s only if the boycott happens at the end of the month. Corporations have seen these countless times before, and they also know that at the end of the day, people still need to go out and buy things like food, clothes, gas, medications, etc. And they also know that there is absolutely no appetite for a large-scale extended boycott that would be large enough and last long enough to make a difference; most people couldn’t boycott for that long even if they sincerely wanted to (and most don’t. They just want to say they did.).

Like you said (and I also said once in a previous post…great minds think alike), it’s like a toddler threatening to hold his breath. Yeah, that’s nice kid. You’ve gotta breathe eventually.

So yeah, the GOP method of handling the situation is as follows:

1. Employ the Trump method: Don’t hold town halls at all. No town halls = no angry voters. No angry voters = problem doesn’t exist! taps head

2. If you must hold town halls, either do them online where dissenting voices can easily be silenced by a mute button, or make sure they’re invite-only so the only people that are allowed to enter are those who support Trump’s position.

3. Blame any other dissention on “Democrat agitators”.

Some GOP lawmakers reportedly faced FBI warnings of credible death threats for opposing Trump-backed nominees.

I’m not saying it’s not entirely true because we’ve been hearing about this for years. But given who is in charge of the FBI now, I wonder how many of these “credible threats” are actually credible vs. how many of them are actually just made up by Patel to make sure they stay in line.

That said, it’s one thing for a civilian to not want to put themselves in a position where they could be harmed. They didn’t sign up for that. Civilians are largely in no position to do anything about it. But Senators and Representatives? This is literally what they fucking signed up for. This is what we grossly overpay them for. This is why we spend so much for their security. We elected these people and empowered them to do what we can’t.

Maybe if we start seeing a couple of these town halls full of angry people exercising their 2nd Amendment rights live and in real time, they might get the message.

Maybe this time they’ll use the word ORDERED in all caps to show how super serious they are.

I mean, they’re clearly not serious enough to actually threaten consequences for non-compliance. No need to get crazy here or anything. They’ll just use all caps. And then in the next one, they’ll use super-duper-serious wording like “Or else.”

The US spends $916 billion on defense, just under double what China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia spend on their militaries combined. We could easily slash 10 or even 20% from our military budget and we would still be far and away the most powerful military on the planet.

I do wonder how much of this is SCOTUS’s attempt at avoiding the question of exactly what happens when they give a ruling that Trump doesn’t like and Trump responds by ignoring it and telling them to go fuck themselves. Because at this point, any ruling not in Trump’s favor is going to lead to that question, which risks exposing the fact that they have no actual enforcement mechanism, relegating them to merely an advisory panel with no real power. Which basically leads to a situation where this court was most likely going to rule in Trump’s favor anyway because it (at least, for now) is in line with their own interests, but really can’t rule against him even in the off chance they want to without risking the entire house of cards crumbling down on their heads.

Trump is speedrunning the fall of this country. At this rate, he could break Hitler’s record for taking down democracy and still have a week or so to spare.
