All Talk, No Action

During his State of the Union speech last night, Trump said he would really like to stop the war in Ukraine.  He said that 25,000 people a month are dying in the war.

I've heard that number from other sources, but that is the number of Russian troops dying in a month.  That number of deaths is completely under the control of Putin.  Putin can stop the deaths of Russian troops any time he wants.

Trump said nothing about the number of Ukrainian civilians that are being targeted and killed by the Russians.

Russia is the aggressor and the war will end only when Putin decides to stop his aggression.  Trump knows this.

What the hell is wrong with Trump that he can't put more direct pressure on Putin to stop this war now?

The Burger King Tells Whoppers.

Whopping Liar

Painful as it was, I watched all of Trump's State of the Union speech last night.  Actually it was more like an end of year wrap up of his proudest moments and lies.

I never watched the Apprentice, but he does have a talent for acting like he cares about people.  He gave awards to some people who deserve the attention and he shared the stories of people who have endured terrible losses.  Of course he didn't really care about any of these people.  He just wanted to use their stories to bolster his self-image and pretend to show how much he cares about them.  Trump has repeatedly shown that empathy is not an emotion he understands.  These people were just props for him.

He again claimed that tariffs are great and that foreign countries pay for tariffs.   He said he liked tariffs because he could use them to make other countries do what he wants them to do, they bring manufacturing jobs back into the U.S. and they raise a lot of money.  He even said that someday tariffs could replace income taxes. 

But two of his tariff goals are contradictory.  The more manufacturing that occurs in the U.S. rather than a foreign country, the less revenue generated by tariffs.  Imported manufactured goods generate tariff income.  Without an income tax those same goods made by workers in U.S. factories do not generate any tax revenue.

As would be expected, Trump lied continuously and outrageously.  If he is talking he is lying, so in a speech that lasted an hour and forty seven minutes he could spew a lot of lies. 

And the burger king tells whoppers.

The Ultimate "Owning The Libs"?

Have You No Shame?

Magettes and Trump love to "own the libs".  Are the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and the refusals by the FBI and DOJ to share evidence about these crimes the ultimate examples of owning the libs?

Are Magettes and Trump proud of these crimes?

Magettes should be ashamed, but like their boss, DJT, they don't know the meaning of the word.

What Is It? An Imposter Or Madness?

I Am Not A Liar!

In June of 2017, at the start of Donald Trump's first term, Sean Spicer, then the White House Press Secretary, said that Donald Trump's tweets "are considered official statements by the President of the United States."  I did a search and could find no policy change from the White House that retracted or disavowed that statement.  

I just read that the actor Kelsey Grammer said he liked President Trump, adding "I've never seen a more transparent presidency in my life".  I'm not sure that publicly and continuously lying qualifies as transparent, but what are we to make of the recent racist post picturing President Obama and his wife?

Was that post and picture an "official statement" from the President of the United States?

Trump now claims that he didn't make the racist post.  It was posted on his account by some unnamed staff member and the post has now been taken down.  Is this follow-up statement a transparent clarification or just another lie?

So which is it?  Are his posts still supposed to be taken as policy?  Trump clearly intends them to be taken seriously.  Or, are there staff members who are free to make official presidential announcements without Trump's knowledge?  Or, are these posts just the ramblings of a seriously damaged mind?

Finally, should Trump still be in control of the nuclear codes?  I wonder if some un-named staff member also has the codes.

Attack Greenland! Is he Crazy?

Troops from allies of the United States, including France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden, are being sent to Greenland to prevent an invasion of Greenland by the United States.

That is a fact, not some insane conspiracy. Actually, it is not the United States that wants to invade and seize Greenland; it is just Donald Trump.

He recently told all of us that the only constraints on him as president are his morality and his mind. He is telling us that the Constitution, laws, Congress, the courts, international law, voters, treaties, and so on do not apply to him.

I do not know what his rationale is for asserting that he is unconstrained, but it is clear that he is physically and mentally impaired.  He must be stopped. The only people who can stop him are his MAGA supporters and the feckless Republican Senators and Representatives who have, up to now, failed to honor their oath of office and their constitutional duties as an equal branch of government to provide a check and balance on an out-of-control president.

What The Hell Did Trump Take Before His Speech?

I watched Trump's speech to the nation last night (Wed, 12/17/2025).  As others have explained, this was Trump trying to convince the nation that he is a better president than the polls show him to be.  No one not already in the cult was convinced.

Trump frantically tried to convince us that as president he is so much better than what people think.  He was speaking so quickly that I became convinced he was hyped up on something.  I don't know what he took to hide his failing health and make sure he didn't fall asleep during his speech, but they should have given him a smaller dose.

Don't Cross This Line Or Else...

Somethings are becoming very clear.

Trump thinks that he can do anything he wants. 

•     Break any law he wants. 
•     Ignore the Constitution.
•     Make Republican law makers do whatever he says to do.
•     Ignore any of the norms that would apply to any other president.
•     Defy the courts.
•     Destroy the DOJ and FBI.
•     Prosecute anyone who opposes him without any proof of wrong doing.
•     Spend any money he wants without authorization.
•     Harm people and institutions when it suits his needs.
•     Use our military in any way he wants.
•     Threaten our allies.
•     Pardon without explanation people who do not deserve it.
•     Use the power of the presidency to enrich himself, his family and his friends.

He thinks a critical number of his voters will support him no matter what.

Trump has lost his mind.

The Supreme Court has said that Trump cannot be prosecuted for anything pertaining to his core duties as president. They've also basically said anything Trump does while in office is part of his official duties.  That means the only control over the president is impeachment.

Voters, Republicans, Democrats and independents, need to draw some lines that clearly state things that they believe will necessitate Donald Trump's impeachment.

These include:

• Starting a war without Congressional approval.  Venezuela will not start a war with us.  If there is a war it is because Trump wants one.
• Using the government or military to manipulate or overturn election results.
• Unleashing the military against citizens.
• A pardon or commutation for Ghislaine Maxwell.
• Impeding the release of the Epstein files.

I'm sure there will be more impeachment lines that will need to be drawn.  It is important we make these red lines bright and clear.  Trump has to believe that Republicans, Democrats and independents will impeach him if he crosses any of these lines.

Update 01/17/2026

I would like to add another red line.  Any overt act take control of Greenland.  Articles of Impeachment should already be written so they can immediately be sent to the House if he makes a move.

The King Of Corruption

Show Me The
Money

Donald Trump cannot claim to be the King of the United States.  He cannot claim to be the best president ever of the United States.  

But I can prove he is the most corrupt president of the United States.  Ever!

It is estimated that Donald Trump's net worth was $4.3 billion on election day in 2024.  Forbes estimates his net worth was $7.3 billion in September, 2025.  So between November 5, 2024 and September 30, 2025, 273 days, Trump's net worth increased by $3.0 billion dollars.

That's $10,989,011 per day!  And it would be a lot more if we removed all the days he spent playing golf and not playing president.

But in fairness, I'd wager he spent most of his time (when he wasn't playing golf or remaking the White House) worrying about that new word, affordability. 

25th Amendment Conspiracy Options

JD Vance

Donald Trump has acknowledged he will (or may) not be on the ticket in 2028 and that there are a lot of candidates to take his place.   JD Vance and Marco Rubio are at the top of the list.

I suggest that Trump watch out for JD.

JD will be watching to see what the chances are that Trump will be out of office before his term ends. If Trump leaves the presidency early, JD will take over for the rest of Trump's term and may be able to be elected to two more terms of his own. All challenges by other candidates like Rubio will be over before they can start.

If necessary, JD can work behind the scenes very, very quietly to fuel and support the 25^th Amendment to get Trump out of office early so he can be elevated to the presidency. Maybe a leak of a bad Trump physical or mental health diagnosis would be enough to get the ball rolling. JD would initially claim that talk of forcing Trump out of office is treasonous, but after awhile he will reluctantly concede it may be best for the good of the country.

Magettes will destroy JD if there is any hint he is working to get Trump out of office early. Even more likely, if Trump decides JD is working against him, Trump will make sure JD leaves office before he does. How does Don Jr as a replacement VP sound?

Rubio has to know all this, so it will be interesting see what he does to foil JD's plans. Maybe a cabal of Republican presidential candidates would work together to block JD.

BTW, in a previous post I said I didn't want to see Trump harmed or killed because the MAGA conspiracies on what “really” happened will be insane.  Simple logic says JD will have to get his fair share of scrutiny if any thing happens to Trump while he is in office.

White House Ballroom, Who Is Stupid?

Trump and his administration think the American people are really stupid.  Or at least dumber than they are.

When asked if they consulted anyone for permission and guidance before destroying the East Wing of the White House, their answer was they were told you don't need permission to tear something down.  You only need permission for "construction — vertical build".  So by that rationalization Trump wouldn't need permission to tear down the entire White House?  He'd just need permission to construct a new White House?  You mean the new gold plated "Donald Trump Executive Mansion"?

The "vertical build" is not some technical jargon, it is word shit to keep the paving of the Rose Garden and the erection of the new White House flag poles out of the discussion.

Trump claims that he and some of his friends will pay for the new ballroom (originally estimated to cost $200 to $250 million).  He may extort money from his "friends", but I don't believe he will put any of his own money into the venture.  Trump also just filed for a $230 million payment for the suffering he took because of his two indictments for the January 6 riots and the national security documents he stole and hid at Mar-a-Lago.  Indictments that he would have probably been convicted on if he hadn't won the 2024 election.  He filed the suits knowing that he and his surrogates have the sole legal authority to authorize the payment to him (you can't make this stuff up).  Does the $230 million sound close to any current project Trump might like to fund?  If it is not needed for the ballroom, he can take a tax deduction and give it to his presidential library to cover the expenses of flying around in his Qatari jet until it is needed to go in the library. 

When asked about what the new ballroom would be called, Trump said something like he hadn't really thought about it, but probably  "The White House Ballroom".  BS!  The whole purpose of  the new ballroom is to get his name on it.

Trump claims the country needs the new ballroom so Presidents don't have to erect big tents on the South Lawn every time for the large, lavish dinners required for a foreign leader's state visit.

I did some checking.  I could only find about a dozen such events in the last 10 years.  I also checked about roughly how many venues there are in DC that could house 800 people.  The estimate was about 30 to 60 locations.  Even many more if you include the areas surrounding DC. 

I can understand there might be some security issues using some building not on the White House grounds, but they hold national political conventions in public buildings.  And there are some government buildings that are already big enough.

How much more would it cost to build a dedicated national ballroom at a different location?  The ballroom could then more easily be used for other large governmental events.  It might also make it easier to implement another of Trump's goals for the new building.

My instinct is, as Deep Throat said, "Follow the money".  I've got to believe Trump has got some plan to monetize the new ballroom.  Imagine how much magettes would pay to be able to say, I had my wedding, wedding reception, birthday party, bar/bat mitzva, funeral, etc. in "The Donald J. Trump White House Golden Ballroom". Cha-ching!

To Win War, Promise Trump The Peace Prize

President Zelensky may now have an opportunity to win the war with Russia.

It is widely believed that Trump was able to get a cease fire in Gaza and the return of the hostages because he put maximum pressure on all leaders in the Middle East, especially Israel and Hamas . He put the pressure on these leaders not because he had some altruistic goal to end the fighting and suffering. He did it because he so badly wants a Nobel Peace Prize. The fact that he didn't win this year may have provided an opening for a new approach to the issue.

President Zelensky should contact the Nobel Peace Prize Committee and tell them they have a chance to not just reward people working for peace after the fact, they can actually encourage peace themselves. Zelensky should talk to the Committee and ask for a commitment to give Trump the peace prize if he gets Putin to agree to and implement the following:

• Complete cease fire and removal from all hostile troops from Ukraine.

• Return all Ukrainian territory Russia has taken. That includes Crimea and the areas taken before the most recent Russian invasion of Ukraine.

• Return all the Ukrainian children that were kidnapped.

• Allow Ukraine security measures like joining the European Union and NATO, and allowing U.S. and European troops to train in Ukraine.

Zelensky could then go quietly to Trump and explain if he can get Putin to agree to these four items, the Nobel Committee has committed to give Trump the peace prize. All the parties can agree to keep the agreement secret if that is needed.

Trump's ego will demand that he make whatever effort is needed to accomplish the task.  Full sanctions on Russia.  Unlimited funds.  Cruise missiles and other sophisticated equipment.

Given Trump's declining mental abilities, I think he should be warned that starting a nuclear war with Russia will invalidate the whole agreement.  

Zip Ties For Children

This cartoon is not intended to be funny.  It may seem disingenuous and outrageous, but not if you've been following the news.

ICE agents stormed an apartment house in Chicago the other night.  They were allegedly looking for two gang members.  From what was reported, they had no warrants.  They broke down doors for each apartment, stormed in and rousted people from their sleep, beds and apartments.  They dragged people, including children, outside.  Some were in pajamas, some were naked.

People were handcuffed.  Children had their hands zip tied together.  Many were kept outside for hours.  Included were U.S. citizens.  Citizens were released only after ICE independently confirmed that they actually were citizens.  In some cases that took hours.  I guess you have to keep your passport in your pajama pocket.

When you couple that with Trump telling our top generals and admirals that they should consider using U.S. cities and citizens for military training, the cartoon doesn't look so outrageous.

Maybe ICE should get some hand ties made just for kids so they won't be so traumatized when they are cuffed.

The sooner Republicans wake up and demand Trump be removed from office, the better off our country will be.

Would You Accept Tickets To White House UFC Fight?

What idiot decided it is a good idea to hold a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) at the White House?

Oh yeah, our idiot king.  Oops, I meant our idiot president, but why?  And are there no adults in the White House that can tell Trump this is a bad idea?  Are there no Senators or Representatives who love and respect our country and our White House enough to speak up and try to stop this?  So far it looks like they are all expecting ring side seats.

I've heard the fighters are going to walk out of the Oval Office on their way to the ring.  What The Hell!

I think that Trump is a very sick man and I am worried about the damage he is doing to our country.  

If you were offered a seat at this UFC fight, would you say "Yes" or "No" or "Hell No!".

If you said "Hell No", please call and/or write your Senators and Representative to tell them they need to speak up and help save our country.  We really need Republicans and MAGA to stand up and say "Enough is enough".  The app "5 Calls" will help you with understanding issues and contacting politicians.

There is another nation wide protest on October 18th.  Please attend a protest and let MAGA know Trump is hurting the country much more than he is helping it.  We don't need or want a king.  I've got to believe much of MAGA knows this and it is not what they signed up for.  The country needs their help now.

One more thing, I read the purse for the fight is $100 million.  Where is all the money to stage this event coming from?  There better not be even one cent from the U.S. government.  How much is the U.S. going to receive for use of the White House and the grounds?  Who is going to pay for any damage done to the White House or the grounds?  How much money will go to Trump or his family or his friends?  Again, the "not one cent" rule should apply (lot's of luck with that).  

Who is going to pay for the damage done to the reputation of the United States of America, once known as a super power and the leader of the free world?  I hope that will be Trump and Republicans in November, 2026.

Trump, What The Hell!

Are You My Enemy?

During his speech to the generals and admirals today I heard Trump say something that shocked me.  He said something about the military fighting enemies, but said he also had to fight his enemies.  He said it is easier for the military to fight their enemies because they wear uniforms.  

Then he said his enemies are:

"No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms. At least when they’re wearing a uniform you can take them out.”

What the hell!  Trump frequently talks about Democrats as "the enemy from within".  So he would like to be able to "take out" his enemies (Democrats) like the military takes out their enemies?

Keep in mind,  Trump brags about bombing and shooting boats in the Caribbean that HE says are carrying drugs.  He provides no proof.  It seems to be based just on his judgement.

So when Republicans talk about Democrats encouraging violence let them listen to that part of his speech.  Trump wants to "take out" anyone he judges to be his enemy.  Is that a hint?

Hegseth's Very Important Speech

Trump and Secretary of Defense Hegseth (he is only Secretary of War in his imagination which is also the only place where he is are qualified to hold his current job) held an urgent meeting to make sure our top generals and flag officers know that there are new rules they are expected to obey.

Hegseth talked about several changes to the military.  He basically told these officers that if they didn't like these changes, they should do themselves a favor and just resign now.  Listen up dimwit Hegseth, you didn't get your current position based on merit,  you got it for lying and kissing Trump's ass.  These generals and admirals have spent years and decades getting to their positions and will still be there when you are on the trash heap of history.  Do yourself a favor and resign now.

Hegseth said there is no place in the military of over weight generals.  What about an overweight Commander in Chief who delivers a long rambling speech filled with lies?  What kind of image is he setting?

Hegseth also basically said there were too many women in the military who are not up to his physical requirements.  Pete, I would bet there are women in the military that could whip your ass.  And why just limit it to physical qualifications?  I'll bet there are a lot of women in the military with better brains, judgement and overall intellectual ability than you'll ever have.  Do yourself a favor and resign now.

The war man wants to change the rules so that anonymous complaints to inspector generals will no longer be allowed.  Anonymous complaints were allowed because pin heads like Hegseth would fire anyone who complained about something he didn't want to hear about.  Leaders can't address problems they don't know about.  

What a waste to bring all of these officers from around the world to listen to a lot of nonsense.

Will Trump Make It To Heaven?

Trump "Golden"
Pearly Gates

Recently Trump seems to be thinking more about his mortality and what he might need to do to increase his chances of getting into heaven.   I don't want Trump to die anytime soon, although a stroke from his terrible diet would be OK.  Preferably one that leaves him unable to speak, whine or insult others.

From what I remember from Sunday school as a kid, I think he will need to admit his past sins and ask for forgiveness.  Admitting he is wrong is not something he has had a lot of practice doing. Given that and his knack for long rambles, he will need a lot of time to make his case that he shouldn't be sent straight to hell.  He just might need to live to 200 to accomplish this.

Given his absolute need for the lime light, I think he has provided evidence that he has broken at least nine of the ten commandments. Maybe he can squeak through on commandment five, “Honor Thy Father and Mother”.

If he should make it to heaven, you can bet he'll immediately suggest to God that changes need to be made. Remember, Trump is right about EVERYTHING. Since Jesus is already the right hand of God, it might be a stretch for Trump to accept being the left hand of God. 

Trump would probably start his changes with what he considers is his supreme expertise and suggest the Pearly Gates be painted gold. Only then moving on to finding his enemies that got to heaven before him and having them all deported to hell.

Trump Is Such An Embarrassment, Again

Loser King of Chaos

I just watched the live joint press conference with British Prime Minister Starmer and Trump.  As an American I am deeply embarrassed. 

Trump was on television for so long acting like this genius business person even though he declared bankruptcy six times. You would have thought someone could teach him how to act like a president.

In his responses to questions, Trump spent more time bragging about his imagined successes and blaming Biden for leaving him such a disastrous country than he did on thoughtful answers.  It didn't help him to have some mindless American reporters (are were some of them influencers?) asking him questions.

Starmer, unlike Trump, came across as a knowledgeable, reasonable politician that understood what was required in this situation.

At one point I believe Starmer was in the middle of answering a contentious question from the press and he said something Trump really liked.  Trump reached over and slapped Starmer twice very firmly on the back.  I thought the act was very rude and a typical Trump move to always try to steal the lime light. I don't think Starmer appreciated Trump's interference.

Trump tried to take control of the questioning, but Starmer, who was the host, stood his ground.  I don't think Trump liked that, but at least on this he was in better control than he often is.

Trump is such and embarrassment, again.

It's All About The Glitz

Trump's Idea Of A Perfect Air Force One

In May, Qatar gifted a 747 jet to the United States.  It is unclear whether it is the property of the United States or the Air Force, but will undoubtedly end up as the property of Donald Trump, (aka Commander of Grift).  It is also unclear how much the upgrades will cost, how long they will take and exactly where the money will come from.

Newsweek reported that an official with information about the contract to modify the Qatar plane to be an Air Force One, referred to the jet as "executive airlift" and not "presidential transport,". This suggests requirements may differ.  It was also suggested this may mean fewer security, communications or defensive systems.

If this "new" Air Force One is not up to the standards of a real Air Force One, it will probably not be used overseas.  So we will pay somewhere between 400 million to a billion dollars for a plane that will be more ostentatious, but not as capable or safe.  But that is the Trump style.

I Saw Nothing

I Saw Nothing

Several weeks ago magettes were in an uproar about people in the Biden administration who they thought hid the cognitive decline of President Biden.  They wanted investigations and legal charges.

It is clear that Trump's physical and mental health is declining quickly yet the White House insists that Trump is fine.  He has minor health issues and shakes too many hands.

What the hell are magettes going to say when Trump finally completely falls apart?  We all know they'll do a Schulz.  "I saw nothing"  Schulz is from Hogan's Heroes for those under 60.

I suggest magettes start reading up on the 25th Amendment.  At Trump's rate of decline I think it will be needed before the end of the 2025.
