More Demented Activity from Trump

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he has offered the job of White House press secretary to his friend and UFC boss Dana White, an announcement unconventional even for the norm-busting president. White said Saturday that he plans to meet with Trump on Monday at the White House.

Well, it now appears that somebody suggested Dana White as press secretary; Trump got confused and announced the wrong Dana White. And now that mistake isn't going to be fixed because doing so would humiliate Trump.

She never had a chance, anyway. Trump reportedly hates standing next to Black women who are in positions of power.

The Mach Loop:

Well, Well, Well-- Nuclear Ed.

When Trump had the Iranian nuclear complexes bombed in 2025, he said that their nuclear program had been completely obliterated.

Then just after he started this stupid war, he said that the Iranian nuclear program had been wiped out.

Well, now, he's offering big rewards:

So I guess it's not obliterated.

Anyway, somebody would have to be really stupid to trust Trump's word on this. He'd figure out a way to either stiff them entirely or take a piece of the action. And "possible relocation"... to where? Chad?

Shorter Trump: Fuck You, America.

President Donald Trump said Friday that Stephen Miller was replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, installing as his closest adviser a loyal, combative bulldog for his “America First” agenda as the president prepares to stare down a newly empowered Democratic Congress next year.

Oh, he said he was willing to work with Democrats, but this is a declaration of war. There's going to be no reaching across the aisle. Pee-Wee German is the most racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, and all around shitheel of a person that the Senile Old Fat Fuck could find.

Prepare for massive governmental misfunction when he's not trying to sell out Ukraine and Alaska to Putin.

Shit's going to get worse until the Republicans in Congress grow a spine and do something.

Strap in, folks.

Six-cylinder action and no safety diesel on what appears to be a mainline track:

Locking Them Down, Here

Trump: "Pretend I'm On the Ballot."Democrats: "OK!!"

He said that, even though he's trying to run away from it now. And voters did.

A year or so ago, the pundits were saying that it was highly unlikely that the Democrats could flip the Senate and even if they did so, it would be by one or two seats.

Four seats and it's possible that two more may be added. Between that and the House, where the Democrats will have 225 seats and there are almost sixty seats left to be decided. Trump's rubber-stamp Congress will be over. It may be gone, now, as those Republicans who were fired by their constituents will have no reason to keep bowing to him.

The Democrats also flipped the governorships in some red states, including Texas and Georgia. In both states, Democrats took the office of attorney general.

A few thoughts.

Besides the economy, the Republicans' heavy reliance on hate-based politicking backfired. Trump's gerrymandering not only backfired, it may have driven voters to the polls in those districts. Fetterman was probably counting on having a lot of influence if the Democrats got to 51 seats. Now, he'll be little more than an annoyance.

And anyone who is now babbling about how the Democrats stole the election should be pitied, for they clearly need some professional help.
