Another Made-Up Participation Trophy for Our Toddler of a President

The Republicans are hard at work, creating awards so they can give gilded trophies to Trump.

President Donald Trump gave an hour-long, rambling speech Wednesday night at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual fundraising dinner in Washington, D.C.

House Speaker Mike Johnson introduced Trump at the event and announced the president had received the first annual “America First Award.” Johnson called the prize a “beautiful golden statue … appropriate for the new golden era in America.”

The mocking will be epic. Here's a sample:

Wow … this is great

May I suggest the gold statue be calf-shaped? https://t.co/oDEg57nrdn

Republicans have sold their souls to Trump. But in years to come, it will be as hard to find a MAGA Republican as it was to find a pro-Nazi German after April, 1945. They'll all tell you that they didn't support Trump, regardless of what you'll dig up about their support during these years.

Betcha Eric Trump’s Not Signing Up.

The U.S. Army has raised the maximum enlistment age to 42 and also relaxed rules on recruting individuals with drug convictions as the service continues to widen its recruiting pool.

He's 41, so he could go to his part. but that'll never happen. For the Trump family, public service is a means to enrich themselves. And there's very little money to be made in being an 11 Bravo.

Why Trump Wants to Keep Tens of Millions of Americans From Voting

This is why:

His approval rating is almost as low as that of syphilis. Ambulance-chasing lawhyers and used-car salesmen have higher approval ratings than Donnie of Dementia, Master of the Bad Spray-Tan.

Don't forget that under the rules that now exist for voting, the GOP won in 2022 and 2024. They only reason they want to change the rules, now, is because they're looking at a near-historic shellacking in November and their only hope is to keep people from voting. That thier proposal would disproportionally block minorities and women from voting is, to them, a feature of their nefarious plan.

Every day, in every way, Republicans reveal themselves to be evil personified.

The Hypocritical Mad King -Updated

He hates mail-in ballots, but guess how he votes:

President Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice.

Palm Beach County voter records show the president voted by mail in a Tuesday special election for state legislative seats and that his ballot has been counted. Early in-person voting in the contest ran through Sunday, when Trump was still at his south Florida estate.

His rule is "do as I say, not as I do."

ETA: His state rep is now a Democrat.

Burning These Down, Here

ICE, Standing Around Airports, Not Doing Masks

Here are a number of pictures from airports around the country, where ICE agents are standing around, doing nothing. But at least they're not out on the streets, detaining, beating and murdering Americans.

One thing is clear: This is, yet another unbaked Trump policy that wasn't thought out by anyone. Trump just gave an order with zero thought of implementation, and nobody else in the downstream shit flow had any idea of what to do.

Funny how they're now not worried about somebody taking their pictures.

Your Sunday Morning Jet Noise

A KC-390:

Fly the Fiendish Skies, If You Can

Flights are being cut back:

United Airlines plans to cut less popular flights — including mid-week and overnights — until the fall, in response to surging fuel prices triggered by the war in Iran, CEO Scott Kirby said Friday in a company memo.

Jet fuel prices have “more than doubled in the last three weeks,” Kirby said. US jet fuel prices rose to $4.56 per gallon on Friday, up from $2.50 on February 27, before the war started, according to data from Argus Media. That could cost United an extra $11 billion this year alone — more than double what the company has earned during its best year, Kirby noted.

And when you go to the airport, you might get groped by a goon whose previous posting was clubbing brown people. That there are over twice as many TSA agents as ICE agents doesn't matter to Grampaw Pedo the Sundowner.

Remember When tRump and the Rest of the Right Went Batshit Over Anyone Saying Anything Bad About Charlie Kirk After He Got Shot Dead?

This was then:

The rules are different for people that St.Upid of Dementia dislikes:

Remember this, because I will. I'll remind you every time someone on the Right dies and clowns like the Hillbilly CouchFucker starts clutching his pearls and hyperventilating about how we on the Left are so, so mean to the memeories of his Wingnut Gods.

ET-- Muller and Trump, sixty years ago:

To be fair, the "reform school" that Trump was sent to was one that rich parents sent troubled kids to, not one of the greybar schools that a juvie court would have sent him to.

What One Normally Does in a War, Right?

Allow the enemy to sell products to help fund their war machines. That is what Trump is doing for both Russia and Iran.

The Orange Dimwit thinks that he's helping global energy markets, but what's at sea in those tankers probably amounts to a popcorn fart in the market. But what it does is put money in the pockets of hostile regimes to fund their side of the wars.

And Russia is hostile, make no mistake about that.

Meanwhile, Commandante Bone Spurs, who dodged the draft with an allegedly fake ailment and who reportedly threatened to disown his kids if they joined the military after 9-11, and who regards those who serve in the military as "suckers" and "losers", thinks that countries that won't help him clean up his mess are cowards.

Anone see Trump's youngest child or his oldest grandkids walking into a recruiting station lately? Or those of any of his Cabinet officers or advisors? No? I thought not.

ETA: And he's just fucking delusional.
