THE PATRIOT, THE SMELLY BULLY, AND THE HILLBILLY 

The pig President and his hillbilly lapdog made embarrassment of themselves by lecturing Ukraine President Zelinsky about their “generosity” toward that invaded nation.

At their meeting on Friday, Trump accused Zelensky of being "disrespectful" and warned him, "You have no right to dictate what we should feel. You are gambling with World War III."If you had a beef, you do it behind closed doors. Trump has a reputation (this came from staffers) that he has an odor issue. In this case, he was airing dirty laundry (in his own head) in public.,

"I have empowered you to be a tough guy. You either make a deal, or we're out. You don't have the cards," Trump said. Vance told Zelensky, "Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media."

The interaction immediately sparked fury online as critics accused Trump of behaving in a "disgraceful" and "revolting" way toward the Ukrainian leader.

Tommy Vietor, a former Obama White House official and co-host of Pod Save America, wrote on X: "These f****** assholes lecture and condescend to Zelensky and then fluff Putin at every possible opportunity. Absolutely disgraceful."

Former Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger, a frequent Trump critic, also weighed in, writing, "The head of state of Ukraine should tell JD Vance to go to hell, little douche VP."

Ron Filipkowski, a former prosecutor and longtime Trump critic, wrote: "This is absolutely disgusting. I'm embarrassed to be an American. Revolting."

The baby bully Trump cancelled the meeting and Zelinsky left. I believe Trump, the Putin stooge didn’t want to have a meeting AT ALL.

His defenders will call Trump strong, he’s a weak puppet of Russia and his hill Bily  Veep is a screeching monkey.

There never was a plan to help the patriot Zelinksy.

Just when you think there’s a bottom………..there’s more deep foreboding shit. This was a show for  pig President’s MAGA base and Putin. This is a new world order we are seeing right before our eyes. 

 

HERE'S THE SHIT SHOW 

 

 

 

DISMISSED

 

For all the MAGA minions who think Trump is on their side, look at what his Justice Department did. Again, the people in most need of consumer protection get screwed. But yet they defends this clown.

The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Thursday dropped five enforcement actions against financial services companies accused of wrongdoing under the prior administration, including a major case against Capital One (COF.N), opens new tab.

The unprecedented mass dismissals eviscerated much of the watchdog agency's remaining stable of legal actions against financial services companies investigated for abusive and predatory practices.

President Donald Trump is moving rapidly to dismantle the CFPB, which he has said should be eliminated, claiming its enforcement had become politicized. The dismissals occurred while his nominee to head the CFPB, Jonathan McKernan, was on Capitol Hill testifying before the Senate in a confirmation hearing.

The CFPB's fate has looked grim since Trump took office last month and Thursday's actions confirmed its disassembly would include a swift retrenchment if not total reversal of pending enforcement actions.

McKernan nevertheless told lawmakers he would continue to take consumer protection enforcement actions if confirmed.

The agency dropped the case against Capital One after accusing the bank last month of illegally cheating customers out of more than $2 billion in interest payments.

It also dismissed on Thursday a lawsuit brought last year against the student loan servicer Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), accused of illegally collecting on student loans discharged in bankruptcy.

The CFPB likewise dropped a case against the Berkshire Hathaway-owned (BRKa.N), opens new tab Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, accused of steering borrowers toward unaffordable mortgages.

 

THE CRAZY MAGAs SPREAD LIE ABOUT OBAMACARE

Barack Obama is 9 years removed from office. Yet the MAGA crazies and the Republican right are spreading the lie that Elon the asshole found that the 44^th President is getting payoffs for Obama care. Ignorant and uninformed cult members need to know this is a lie. Now it really won’t mater because the cult members will still believe it.

In January 2017 the Last Line of Defense website published an article reporting that U.S. President Barack Obama trademarked the term "Obamacare" and had since racked up millions of dollars in royalties from its use by the U.S. government:

Here’s what happened in red ink

BREAKING: Obama BUSTED For Obamacare Scam That Made Him MILLIONS

Donald Trump's accounting team has found a little-known scam about Obamacare that has made the Obama family millions of dollars that should belong to the taxpayer. According to the lead accountant at Howe, Dewey and DeWitt, Obama had a line item written into the law that gives his family a royalty for using their name.

The name "Obamacare" appears ion the text of the law 418 times and on the health care marketplace exchange websites 129 times. Every time someone clicks on a page with that name on it, the Obama's receive 41 cents from the US Treasury's general fund. The worst part is, since the Democrats made it part of the Obamacare law and not the ACA law, it's perfectly legal.

When asked to comment, Obama spokesman Jules Dorant McMaddenfist said:

What you have here is typical. The Lincoln family gets a cut every time the Gettysburg Address is re-published and the Kennedy family still owns the phrase "Ich bin ein Berliner" as well as "I am a jelly donut.' Teddy's last senate campaign was run strictly on proceeds from "ask not what your country can do for you.' Why should this president be any different? Oh, that's right ... because he's black.

Now here’s the truth in BOLD BLUE

There was no truth to the above-quoted article. The Last Line of Defense (thelastlineofdefense.org) has a history of publishing fake news stories, and the website carries a disclaimer stating that its content is not factual:

A follow-up story was published by the same source in February 2025 claiming Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) discovered and halted the nonexistent annual payments to Obama.

In addition to the dubious source of this rumor, the article also contained several hints as to its fictional nature. For one, the name of Obama's fictional accountant (Howe, Dewey and DeWitt) turns into "How Do We Do It?" when quickly spoken. The article is also tagged with the phrase "You're an idiot”.

So, the bottom line here, IT ISN’T TRUE. As a matter of fact, it is farcical that Trumpanzees just post shit lie this they see and then throw out one sentence bombs that lend support to the lie.

A little history here. When Obama was running for President, the late Senator Ted Kennedy, an advocate of health care for citizens of America endorsed him in the primaries. When Obama became President, it became his top priority.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and informally as Obamacare, is a landmark U.S. federal statute enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. Together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 amendment, it represents the U.S. healthcare system's most significant regulatory overhaul and expansion of coverage since the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. Most of the act's provisions are still in effect.

The ACA's major provisions came into force in 2014. By 2016, the uninsured share of the population had roughly halved, with estimates ranging from 20 to 24 million additional people covered. The law also enacted a host of delivery system reforms intended to constrain healthcare costs and improve quality. After it went into effect, increases in overall healthcare spending slowed, including premiums for employer-based insurance plans.

The increased coverage was due, roughly equally, to an expansion of Medicaid eligibility and to changes to individual insurance markets. Both received new spending, funded through a combination of new taxes and cuts to Medicare provider rates and Medicare Advantage. Several Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports said that overall these provisions reduced the budget deficit, that repealing ACA would increase the deficit,[8][9] and that the law reduced income inequality by taxing primarily the top 1% to fund roughly $600 on average to families in the bottom 40% of the income distribution.

 

ESTABLISHED STORES GOING BYE BYE

Two chain stores that were part of the fabric (no pun intended) of America are closing Joann Fabrics and Party City are done. The temptation is to blame Biden but this is happening under Trump’s watch.

 

TRUMP AND TARIFFS

So Trump was talking about tariffs the other day and said that if there was a tariff in retaliation on Canadian goods, then the United State consumer/shopper wouldn’t have to pay it. The countries would. He implied that Canada would impose the tariff, then pay themselves fir imposing the tariff. He has no idea what he is saying or doing.
