If anyone is wondering, and without getting into too much detail, I am a 60ish, curmudgeonly grandpa, IT guy, veteran, and part-time internet political junkie who was weaned on Bartcop's blog yonder a century ago, and if you know who Bartcop was and grokked his style, then we'll get along just fine.

While neither man is in jail, as they both should be, at least the UK took steps to penalize a child rapist, Prince Andrew, I mean, Mr. Windsor, whereas the United States continues to protect one, Donald Trump.

We must not allow a decades-long drug abusing dark tetrad to 'test' nuclear weapons under any conditions.

Ffs. Won't someone somewhere just give him a gold scepter with an engraving on it saying "NOBEL EMPEROR FOR LIFE" to appease his butt hurt ass? It would go along nicely with the gold crown the South Koreans just gave him. Perhaps if he has the accoutrements of a King, he'll be satisfied and stfu. 🫤

This US household wouldn't know. Thankfully, we no longer get our news and information from @cbsnews.com and consider them to be no more trustworthy than Fox "news" or the @nytimes.com.

What could possibly go wrong with allowing a criminal regime full of incompetent, unqualified buffoons and led by a criminal POTUS and the cabal of Russian apologists whom he has surrounded himself with play political games with nuclear weapons testing? 🫤

Yes, JD, we know. Its just as you, your felonious boss, and the corrupt MAGA eunuchs in Congress have planned it. The majority of Americans know exactly who is responsible for their current "suffering" as well as the suffering yet to come, and it sure as hell isn't Joe Biden. 🫤

Open, brazen corruption.

Trump pardoned a crypto tycoon convicted of helping terrorists & child sex traffickers launder 💰 — in exchange for personal enrichment.

Yet everyone who screamed about Hunter Biden is silent. @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

If he wasn't in the #EPSTEIN_Files, a hardbound copy embossed in gaudy gold would be readily available for sale at his MAGA Merch site for the low, low price of $500, or IF YOU ACT NOW, a personally signed copy for the more-than-reasonable price of $1K: Courtesy of the gross greedy #GrifterInChief.💰

Hit with higher insurance premiums? Trump is making them even higher.

Forced into bankruptcy by medical debt? Trump doesn’t care.

Worried that’ll impact your credit score? Trump wants it to.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

My mind is open enough to know that Rahm Emanuel is precisely the wrong person at this time in history for the Democratic party to turn to. He's an appeaser and a sellout. Hasn't Rahm made a comfortable enough living off of his two-faced politics already? He really just needs to go away. 🫤

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The Bible is nothing more than a fashion accessory to guys like JD and his MAGA brethren, something they carry around to show off whenever they are in need of some cover for their un-Christian behavior. 🫤

Actually you goose-stepping shitheads - you will be stopped. And then your fascist criminal organization will be defunded and shut down by theAmerican people. Because the cause of good always triumphs over evil. 🫤
