Today's rare, televised cabinet meeting. A made for TV performance & infomercial. A true Caligula orgy of fawning & praising the orange one. Jockeying as to who would out-drool the other in homage. Joking about the tearing down of project rules & regs of old guard, denying wasteful funds, $$ in!🤑

So now there is a 90-day pause on the plate for countries that are "kissing his behind" according to him? Reflex-Stocks up. House votes not there for Sen. budget bill? Will his hat trick work for Reps? & 125% tariffs for "bad" China. Let's see if they put tariffs up where the sun doesn't shine? Con!

So, the Vice Moron's talking point is that 40% of people calling Social Security are fraudsters. Even on the surface, that statistic is ridiculous. And echoing a tall tale that mass numbers of dead people are receiving checks is pure fiction. This is not even worthwhile telenovela material. Dumb!

$200 million of "Thank You" ads for border propaganda not competitively bid & exempt from DOGE review. Makes complete sense? Retirement account values plummet. Golf weekend win. Workers fired. People deported without due process. Some kind of brilliant alright! I am not grateful for this whack job.

Yeah, pretty much a simple, easy to understand visual for those reality challenged of any beneficial effects that our citizenry can expect through broad tariffs on other countries(or more simply put, import taxes). Looking more phenomenal each day!

I so hope that the he keeps sending out unsolicited endorsements. It results in such better outcomes across this country. He's never wrong! Candidates really need his strong support & positive messaging for their efforts. Keep them coming, sir! I am so grateful for this unfettered quality in him!

Guess Speaker Johnson didn't have the votes needed to prevent at a minimum new house member parents from being allowed to vote by proxy. As usual, rather than admit the truth, he sent members home! The party that "supports" family once again reveals itself as anything but. Now the whipping begins!

Great that Sen. Tim Kaine is trying to force a Senate vote on the Canadian tariffs. Get the votes on record for these costs that will be ultimately be borne by the American people! At last, some pushback against the “silent” party majority that’s turning a blind eye to POTUS-IT!

You have to admit it must be getting pretty bad when even Joe Rogan has issues with deportation of an immigrant cited by our gov't as an error. What's worse is the "leadership" of said gov't & mouthpieces are still hunkering down about its a lie and fake news AGAIN! You can't make this stupid up!

Reader, she’s lying again. There’s no evidence.

Great reminder for those who watched or haven' seen the "Handmaid's Tale". The final season is beginning this month - I believe it's framed as the "Revolution Begins". Has been a gripping series over five seasons so far. I've "heard from a lot of people" it is a fitting closeout for sixth season.

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... Constructive action steps that make sense in these discordant times.

LA voted a vengeful, smart as a rock Republican felon into the White House to bomb its country's gov't, but won't let their republicans change LA laws. That's like thinking a bomb of poison gas doesn't spread with the wind! That's some kind of dumb! Must've had enough Dems to save LA for the moment.

Love it when the Brits get a bit cheeky!
