Something odd is up. Or, let me state that a different way: something defensive is going on in the Oval Office today and since we’re talking about Mr. Double Down No Matter What, there’s something up. Trump is receiving Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and for reasons which surpasseth knowing, he’s not only behaving himself somewhat more than normal (it took him a full nine minutes to start bullying his guest, for instance) he’s also denying that he has said a lot of the terrible things that he has in fact said. And which are on record everywhere. So why bother to lie?

Senility? Trolling the libs? Or, maybe Susie Wiles or somebody has gotten through to him that his polls are tanking and his funny ha ha AI video about taking over Gaza was met with such violent opposition yesterday that he had to take it down — not to mention Junior having to take down his own post about sending weapons to Russia, as opposed to Ukraine. And there’s more of this.

Trump utter a “bad word?” Delicate, diplomatic, discreet and demure Donald? Nahhh. That can’t be. You must be thinking of some other orange-sprayed dictator. And here’s Trump winging it, clearly having no remote clue what he’s talking about.

As usual, Biden wrong, Putin right. That’s the new normal in the upside down world of 2025. Now Trump plays bully with the PM.

What I would not give to be a fly on the wall when Starmer talks with Macron. And I would particularly love to know what Macron and Trudeau say when they’re kicking back talking. They’re good friends and they both know who and what Trump is. Now this is alarming.
“I wouldn’t be opposed to it” — Trump on using Erik Prince’s private forces for deportations pic.twitter.com/NfSRl2YTcp

If this is news to you, Blackwater founder Erik Prince has offered Trump a plan to do “massive deportations” for the low low price of $25 billion. This would get rid of 12 million people between now and 2026. “Prince was also joined by Bill Mathews, another former chief operating officer at Blackwater, the private military contractor tied to the 2007 massacre of 17 Iraqi civilians, including two children, which also wounded 20 others. The four men convicted of crimes surrounding the killings were pardoned by Trump in 2020.” More pardoned criminals in government. This is the new DEI, Donald Engineered It.

Regardless of what Putin does, it will be fine, just fine. Trump never says a single word that casts even a faint shadow on Putin, whereas other players on the world stage are depicted as being totally black.
It’s going to take decades to recover from this autocratic bullshit.
Decades.

Small wonder that Junior felt free to post audio on Twit/X that given a choice between being allies with Ukraine and Russia, we should pick Russia. Mark this well, folks. This is what a dumbed down educational system votes for, a TV talk show host who lies about being a self-made billionaire. And don’t forget the $38 billion in contracts which Elon Musk has had with the government, not to mention the $180 billion he made shortly after Trump’s election. Oligarchy, we are there.
We thought it could never happen in America, but we were wrong. All it took was Reagan sowing the seeds of distrust in government, then Bush Lite messing up foreign policy and putting us back almost to a Nixon-era level of distrust and resentment, and then as an Obama backlash, came this bloody fool. Armed with 14 years of television recognition from The Apprentice and the satanic support of Fox News, we live in a lie-scape. On any given day, it’s only a question of how many lies were told.
May we survive to get on the other end of this. And I’m sure that the Prime Minister and anybody who goes into the Oval Office these days thinks the same thing.

Friends, if you are able to help with a donation or subscription, it would be welcomed. We have to ask for money because of our traffic crashing November 5. Hopefully things will rebound in the not too distant future. Thank you. Ursula






















“If this is news to you, Blackwater founder Erik Prince has offered Trump a plan to do “massive deportations” for the low low price of $25 billion. This would get rid of 12 million people between now and 2026.”
So, that comes to a little more than $2083 per person. Why not just offer all the “deportees” a flat $1500 plus first-class airfare back to their home countries?
Oh. I know why. Prince wouldn’t be able to skim billions off the top.
I’m ancient enough to recall dire warnings about the undefined dangers of sitting too close to the old cathode-ray TV sets. We thought it was about damage to eyesight. Now we now that sitting anywhere within range of any TV can damage brain cells and inhibit the ability to think critically, or even think at all. This is known as the Rupert Murdoch syndrome.
Dementia. Or lies. Doesn’t really matter to his cultists; they scrub their brains of contradictory statements. They are beginning to see the effects of his slash and burn tactics. Family members are losing federal.jobs, and the reddest states are fearing losing Medicaid and SNAP funds. His supporters lack empathy and x don’t care who his and Elon’s policies hurt until.it hurts them.directlym
