Today in Trump

[Kirkland Laing]

Trump absolutely fucking SODOMIZED zelensky bwahaha ha

Seriously.

This isn't to pick on Brock. But this is totally symbolic of what the MAGA crowd is made of. Here we're seeing a 50-some year-old man celebrating what some of us consider to be a shameful televised spectacle in the White House, between the President of the United States and the leader of another country.

Forget what was said, which is basically Trump ignoring the plain facts that Ukraine was invaded by Russia who is clearly the aggressor in this case.

This a grown man, leader of a country, throwing the concepts of civility, dignity, class, and humanity completely out the window. And the MAGA crowd celebrates it. Brock isn't the only one. ALL of MAGA world celebrates it.

What this basically illustrates is that we've reached a new low in our standards.

Just when you think Trump can't possibly do anything worse... he goes ahead and does it.

In any case, I'll just keep repeating this quote... probably for the umpteenth time during Trump's unfortunate term.

WW2 influenced the thinking of a critical mass of human beings, made them aware of how things can quickly go from peace to war, the horrific effects war has on the countries participating and the elites in the west all made compromises and alliances to try and create a world where it wouldn't happen again.

Gradually though over the decades the knowledge and awareness of all of this got bred out of people and they've defaulted back to humanity's normal state which is fear, loathing and ignorance. In America the first signs were the Reagan era which saw elites going all out to grab a bigger share of the pie and so on. What sped the whole thing up was mass immigration. Capitalism became a victim of its own success here creating so much growth that lots of new workers were needed. The subsequent immigration to fill those jobs has become an issue that demagogic politicians can take advantage of and get elected.

We're now basically back in about the nineteen twenties. All we need is a nice big recession and we're back in the nineteen thirties. They're working on that.

It isn't going to be an exact repeat of events last century on the exact timescale but what we are doing is creating the perfect conditions for something potentially a lot worse to happen again.

Guests are paying millions of dollars to dine and meet with President Donald Trump at special events held at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Business leaders can secure a one-on-one meeting with the president at Mar-a-Lago for $5 million, according to sources with direct knowledge of the meetings. At a so-called candlelight dinner held as recently as this past Saturday, prospective Mar-a-Lago guests were asked to spend $1 million to reserve a seat, according to an invitation obtained by WIRED.


“You are invited to a candlelight dinner featuring special guest President Donald J. Trump,” the invitation reads, under a “MAGA INC.” header. MAGA Inc., or Make America Great Again Inc., is a super PAC that supported Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. “Additional details provided upon RSVP. RSVPs will be accommodated on a first come, first serve basis. Space is very limited. $1,000,000 per person.”

The Internal Revenue Service is preparing to shed as much as 50 percent of its staff, according to four people familiar with the matter, a significant cut that could jeopardize the agency’s ability to complete its basic mission of collecting taxes.
The I.R.S. started the Trump administration with roughly 100,000 employees. It has already laid off more than 7,000 people who had recently joined the agency and had fewer job protections, and thousands more have taken Elon Musk’s offer to resign. Those cuts, as well as normal attrition, are expected to count toward the Trump administration’s goal of halving the number of people who work at the I.R.S., two of the people said.

Here is what an IRS cafeteria in Austin looked like just a few years ago. With an understaffed IRS, people were waiting years for these returns to be processed and refunds issued No one picked up when you called with questions. Destroying the agency means more photos like this:

It seems like an efficient government would want to efficiently collect taxes. Especially from high earners. They're going to fire all the people who audit top earners so top earners will all be able to cheat on their taxes with nobody at the IRS able to even know how they're doing it:

Trump is also selling off all big government buildings. So the government will have to pay rent to anybody lucky enough to be allowed to buy these buildings in perpetuity. Nice business for whoever gets them. By the end of four years they'll have sold everything they can for parts, have looted the entire government, treasury, central bank, you name it.



All Americans except for the richest 20% will pay more in tariffs than they will get back from Trump's tax cuts.

Great reviews on the new USMCA. Thank you! Mexico and Canada will be wonderful partners in Trade (and more) long into the future.

There it is: Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.

Just so everyone is clear -- this is using your taxpayer money to buy up crypto currency so that the price goes up for those holding it.

Reporter: Veterans make up 30% of the federal workforce? Are you tracking how many veterans have been fired so far? Trump: Yes we are. We take good care of our veterans

Trump is truly despicable but his successor Vance could be even worse. Starmer told him off in the most diplomatic terms about describing Britain as not militarily meaningful.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b2709393.html

[TitoFan]

Vance is playing his role to an alarming extreme. But it can't come as a surprise. Trump does not hire/accept anyone with a mind of their own. If you DO have a mind of your own, you have to check in your brain at the "Trump Indoctrination Clinic" and get fitted with a Trump lookalike brain.

Remember that Pence seemed like a nice and level-headed enough man before he became Trump's VP. Then for four years he became Trump's puppet, echoing every piece of royal stupidity coming out of his boss's mouth. Finally, when Trump lost the 2020 election, Pence got some of his backbone back, and pushed back against the Big Stolen Election Lie. Much to his detriment, as Trump called him every name in the book.

As opposed to Trump, Vance does have a legitimate education and more than two brain cells inside his head. But he knows full well that the ONLY way to a future White House bid, is to become Trump's mouthpiece. Problem is he has taken the job a little too seriously, and to a disgusting extreme.

Trump infamously promised to "drain the swamp" back in 2016. Yet he's proven that he only accepts being surrounded by weak-spined ass-kissers. If you have the gall to disagree with Trump... you're dog meat.

How would a post-Trump Vance be? Hard to tell. Sometimes these adopted personalities can find their way into the bloodstream, become permanent changes.

Ukraine have always wanted peace and were the victims of Putin. Trump is only asking for concessions from one side. It is easy to make peace giving away another countries rights and taking their resources.

will you & your family sign up to go & fight for ukraine on the front lines?

How things are these days:

These guys are fucking scumbag pimps. They should be beaten into fucking comas the first time they go out in public anywhere but instead a huge chunk of the population seem to think they're heroes. The fucking vice president follows them on twitter. Here's Exhibit A that something is really wrong with humanity:

Here's why I'm retiring:

Given long enough these fuckers are going to crash the economy. I'm not talking about the current trade/stock market stuff, I'm talking serious damage. When it happens, do you think Trump is going to take the blame for it? He will not. He'll find scapegoats. The scapegoats for economic catastrophe have traditionally been the Jews but there's a wrinkle with Trump. He's actually friends with a lot of them, his daughter is married to a member of the tribe. Globalists is basically shorthand for Jews but Trump will look further afield.

Back in the day George Soros became famous by shorting sterling and blew the pound out of the European exchange rate mechanism, earning a fortune. If Britain had had a Trump style government back then he could easily have been accused of "betting against Britain", turned into a hate figure and prosecuted by a corrupt British judicial system. This kind of thing is what historically has happened to financial speculators when authoritarian governments need scapegoats for their criminality and incompetence.

But Soros wasn't the only person to make money from this. A whole bunch of people bet against the pound. One of those people was me! And I'm still going. These days I have other people do the nuts and bolts of deals but I tell them what to buy and what to sell and at what prices. I'm still doing the same job I was back then effectively. Whether it's stock market movements or interest rates or commodities or currencies. You can easily see a future situation where epic ongoing criminality, incompetence, lack of regulation and son on leads to an economic disater. And the people who speculated that this disaster would happen? Betting against America.

And I'd be an easy mark. Foreign, a list of haters a mile long a lot of whom are MAGA bandwagoneers these days, a private life the media would have a field day with. Easy to turn into a hate figure and I'd be off to prison. And it wouldn't be a white collar tennis prison with these fuckers either would it. It would be great theatre sending the people who crashed the economy to a federal pen. So fuck that, I'm out.

There's a chance this doesn't happen. Endless things could happen. Trump could die and get replaced by a Jew hater. Endless permutations. But not worth any risk on my behalf. They're going to fuck things up for sure and they're going to need scapegoats.

Right now we're hearing that the economy is in a transition period, and it is, from fifty straight months of job growth, a four hundred percent increase in manufacturing construction and the best back to back years for the markets this century to a fucking mess. There'll be some short term disruption but long term it'll all be sunshine and rainbows and peole just have to put up with the temporary hits to the economy.

But then temporary goes on and on and the people running the show still have to take out more and more of the deep state and the swamp that's preventing the sunshine and rainbows. Eventually we find out that the whole point of everything is actually to get rid of all the regime enemies and we had to sacrifice the old economy in order to do it.


Here I leave you with the wise words of Tucker Carlson, telling you what he actually thinks when he thinks nobody is listening:

He went on to say that Trump was good at "destroying things. He's the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong."

Donald Trump is snatching Western defeat from the jaws of victory in Ukraine. He is extending a lifeline to a struggling war criminal running out of ways to fund his mischief.
The Kremlin may “have all the cards” in Trump’s mind, but that is only true at the most superficial level, and mostly not true at all. Russia’s deformed war economy is kept afloat by unsustainable hidden debts.
Harvard professor Craig Kennedy says banks have been coerced into off-budget loans to defence contractors worth up to $250bn (£193bn), disguising the true costs of the war and “creating the preconditions for a systemic credit crisis”.
Russia’s “rainy day” welfare fund is running out of gold. Its liquid assets are down to 2pc of GDP. Ex-finance minister Mikhail Zadornov said the country would be unable to prosecute the war within six months if oil prices fell further, which is highly likely as Opec+ raises output into an incipient global glut. West Siberian light crude is already down to $62.65 a barrel.




Putin has lost his regional ally in Syria. His mercenaries in the Sahel are overstretched and in crisis. He was unable to back his Armenian proteges against predatory ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan. He needs pre-modern North Korean troops and Iranian drones to fight his war.
He has conquered less than 1pc of Ukraine’s territory over the last year and has failed to capture a single town of importance. It is hard to exaggerate the strategic criminality of Trump’s pro-Putin pivot at this juncture.

Ibrahim Traoré - The president of Burkina Faso is fast turning into one of the greatest leader alive.

Fighting for his people against outsiders who want to exploit the country for it's riches. At the tender age of 36



Dodging assassination attempts left and right, consolidating his region, and elevating the position of his people. White western nations are trying to off him but not word from the United Nations, not one word from ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) not one word from the African Union, not one word from the international courts.

He's reduces ministers and politicians salaries by 30%. He#s increased workers salaries by 50% and refuses to accept a presidential salary.




Giving the middle finger to the West, and got rid of the Western puppets and thieves in government. Banned the use of the French language taught in schools. Now kids will grow speaking their native tongue

Locked up the monsters that terrorize his citizens making their lives unbearable

Dresses like a man should. Dresses like he's ready for war. No singing. No dancing. Just business.




At 36 years old, Ibrahim Traoré has already:

• EXPELLED French troops from Burkina Faso
• BANNED Uranium exports to France and the US
• ALLIED with neighbouring Niger and Mali who have done the same
• REFUSED any type of "aid"

This century, Africa will develop ITSELF with its OWN resources.

Burkina Faso is a fantastic example of a secular country working towards a decolonized future for their people, the RIGHT way.

FK TRUMP

Kudos to Traore for having an anti-colonialist mentality. In today's world, where Trump uses intimidation to bully other world leaders, it's nice to know some won't be bullied. Say what you will about outgoing PM Justin Trudeau of Canada. But he was way too wimpish to handle the bullying moron that is Trump. Bullies only understand when they're smacked in the mouth. THEN they learn to respect.

Traore is super young. Hopefully he'll gain the wisdom needed to make lasting improvements in his country for the good of his people.

Trump has some views

Trump playing down the security breach that saw a journalist invited into a Signal group chat where he reported seeing national security officials plan airstrikes in Yemen is a complete joke. He accused Hillary for the same thing and led to her ultimately losing the election 2016.

Vance and the others disdain for Europe is equally shocking. There is only transactional relationship. They are lining their own pockets and securing power for themselves.

Now they are going to ask Musk for tech support. Jokers.

Trump is all about DOUBLE STANDARDS. Only MAGA cultists fail to see this.

There's the security breach.
