*Full Disclosure* I didn’t see Traitor Tot’s alleged presidential address, aka goo-goo baby talk tonight, but from the snippets I’ve seen, I didn’t miss a damn thing. But from the snippets I saw, one thing is clear.
Keep Trump Talking. In public. As often as possible. Because at this point, El Pendejo Presidente is the most powerful campaign tool the Democrats have going into the midterms. I’ll explain.
As we speak, the Trump administration, as well as the entire GOP are starting to look like the Chancellery bunker in Berlin in April of 1945. Hair Twitler just put out another hysterical, incoherent rant from the White House, apparently without two coherent sentences, and incoherent topic changes.
But nobody is buying it. MAGA is no more. Understandably enough, it’s begun with the states, specifically red states. Last week, the Indiana legislature voted on a bill to, like Texas, redraw their congressional maps, potentially netting Traitor Tot two more seats. Which begs the question, How desperate are you if two lousy seats can sink your battleship? Apparently critical, since Traitor Tot went balls-to-the-wall to get it passed, threatening all and sundry with dire consequences. And 34 GOP state Senators joined with united Democrats in kicking its sorry ass to the curb.
Here is why this is so important. US House GOPtards have to walk a tightrope, keep their numbers at home up while still kowtowing to the madness of King Donald. The success of state Representatives rests almost totally on their performance on local issues. And obviously Traitor Tot’s MAGA agenda, like ridding their state of any active form of democracy isn’t playing well. And so they’re throwing him under the bus, knowing this lame, ruptured duck has minimal influence on local voters pondering local issues.
And now it’s spread to the US House. A little over a month or so ago, an occurrence as rare as hen’s teeth took place. A House discharge petition to force the FBI to open up and release the Epstein Files to the congress and country passed! Not only did it pass, it passed with only one GOP NO vote. Discharge petitions are historically an exercise in futility.
And today lightening struck for the second time. Lightening has struck. Four GOP members crossed the aisle to vote with united Democrats in passing another discharge petition, this one to extend the ACA subsidies for three more years, potentially stripping Traitor Tot of his greatest bragging point from his Big Beautiful Bill. You heard it here first. Look for governance by discharge petition to become the dominant feature of the MAGA Mike speakership through the election.
This is because Traitor Tot has lost all coherence. Trump’s persona is that of the Master salesman. My ass. At this point the North Koreans wouldn’t take free missiles from this blathering idiot. GOP House incumbents in vulnerable districts are feeling the heat in their districts, and they’re seeing something else. They’re sensing the end of Trump’s disastrous reign, and are bailing to save their own skins.
It’s happening all over. The off year elections showed the way. In Virginia you had a GOP gubernatorial candidate that held Traitor Tot close, doing the bunny hop over his endorsement. And got creamed. In New Jersey, the GOP gubernatorial candidate refused to even utter the name of the Holiest of Holies. And got creamed.
Trump has lost it. And as a result his vaunted vote machine is dying right along with him. Part of it is the inevitable status of a lame duck. Why bother paying attention to, or supporting Traitor Tot when he can’t even run again? It shows in Traitor Tot’s tanking approval numbers.
But the real, underlying reason is that the sorry son of a bitch is batsh*t crazy. The other day Traitor Tot shot out a long, self pitying blast on Bullsh*t Social whining about when he’d finally start getting credit for how great America is again, and the economic miracle he’s wrought. He’s currently more than 30 points underwater on his handling of the economy, his signature issue.
And he’s degenerating. Quick history lesson. It was Howdy Doody, aka George W Bush, who at the command of VP D*ckhead Cheney got us embroiled in both Afghanistan and Iraq. It was democrat Barack Obama that finally got us out of Iraq, and Democrat Joe Biden that got us out of Afghanistan, and took the heat for the inevitably messy way it went down. Meanwhile Traitor Tot campaigned on keeping us out of foreign entanglements.
And now, following months of the US Navy violating international law by blowing up boats in international waters under drunken lecher Pete Hegseth’s despicable Kill ’em all order, Traitor Tot in his address tonight called for a US blockade of Venezuela.
Democratic US Senator Mark Kelly of Az put it perfectly on MSNOW when he said, Jeez, I hope he doesn’t actually think that Venezuela is an island. True dat. To blockade an island, you surround it with ships that either turn back or sink vessels trying to get through. You can’t blockade a land mass! You have to provide a physical manpower force along their land border to enforce a blockade like that. Which means putting US troops into a land conflict in South America. And what happens if those countries don’t approve of your blockade?
Traitor Tot has lost it. He is in either a state of senile dementia, or mid stage Alzheimer’s. And the best thing the Democrats can do at this point is to keep him front-and center in the media. Because there are plenty of GOP incumbents out there, both in the House and Senate, that are still trying to tiptoe their way across that tightrope to reelection. And the key now is to keep Traitor Tot out there blathering incoherently, and tie those incumbents to him with barbed wire.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
Regarding Venezuela and any blockade, about the only country in South America that would wholeheartedly go along is Guyana. Other countries down there may not like Maduro but the whole view of “Yankee imperialism” that Drumpf is threatening will NOT be met with the same complicity that Arab leaders gave the Bushes with their attacks against Saddam.
Given that only Congress can declare war on behalf of the USA, and given that a maritime blockade is, de facto, an act of war, why is the US military obeying illegal orders?
