I hope you all had a nice, relaxing weekend. We got home from the beach safe and sound Sunday afternoon with no near-death experience like we had on the ride down. We know Donnie had a good weekend spent on the golf links during the day and rage-posting during the night. As it is, however, things are not looking good for Taco Man. I believe that he just received the ultimate humiliation from President Zelensky over the weekend when Ukraine launched a spectacular drone operation against Russia, knocking out a third of their strategic bomber fleet deep inside Russian territory. The humiliation comes following that infamous Oval Office meeting on February 28th in which President Zelensky was ambushed by Trump and JD Vance, leading to a heated exchange between the three participants ending in Trump kicking Zelensky out of the White House after telling him that “You’re right now not in a very good position…You don’t have the cards right now. With us you start having cards” and basically telling him that Ukraine needed the United States involvement if a peace deal was going to be reached. Ukraine had been planning this mission for over a year and a half and had not informed the White House of the plans, a sign that Trump and his administration cannot be trusted. So, on Sunday, 117 drones were launched covertly from the backs of cargo trucks secretly transported into Russia and strategically planted near Russian military bases. In any other administration, the United States would have been informed that a strike of this magnitude was going to happen and intelligence shared. This is just another example of how far we have fallen from respect by our allies and it’s going to only get worse. Trump promised he would get a deal in one day, and we are now four months from the inauguration with nothing accomplished by the Art of the Deal Master. I guess President Zelensky showed the TACO that he does have a few cards up his sleeve.
Saturday night, shortly after 10:00 pm, following a day of golf, a couple of Big Macs, some meatloaf, and 7 Diet Cokes, Donald fired up his iPhone and reposted an outlandish conspiracy theory made by another Truth Social user to fire up his cult members. Are you ready? President Joseph R. Biden had been “executed in 2020” and replaced by a robotic clone controlled by the Deep State. I am serious, folks. This is getting scary. There are lots of people that believe this QAnon conspiracy shite.
And how about all the negotiations taking place to bring some clarity to these tariffs and the Trade War? Let me see now, about two months ago, I thought I heard Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick promise 90 deals in 90 days. If I’m not mistaken, the only one I’ve heard completed thus far is some piddly ass weak agreement with the UK. I keep hearing we’re close, very close, but so far, no cigar. Meanwhile, the cost of this nonsense is starting to show up in the marketplace, and Americans will be paying for it every time they get out their checkbook, credit card, or pull a green back from their wallet. I sure hope Ma and Pa Magaturds are happy with all the extra money that the TACO trades (remember Trump Always Chickens Out) are putting in their pocket. Speaking of turds, and I can’t take credit for this because I saw it on the internet, TACO Man may have some stiff competition from TURD Man in the near future (Trump Unfailingly Reverses Demands). As I write this, I’ve got Credence Clearwater Revival’s “I heard it through the grapevine” going through my head.
It’s getting late, so I think I will join the missus and retreat to my nice warm bed. Keep smilin’.
