FINALLY A LEADER SPEAKS UP

FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA: "Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors."

PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISN'T TRUE

USAID sent a 3 person assessment team to the earthquake disaster in Myanmar.  

It's being reported by PBS that this team in Myanmar received termination notices.

Can't be, right?

I mean why even send them if you planned to can them, right? 

@fubah2

 Yea, he promised a "Golden Age" but America is getting a "Golden Shower" instead.

I'm disheartened for a number of reasons. I never thought I would believe a foreign leader more than a leader from our own country. Rubio wanted to show Forrest Trump that he was tough on Denmark & warned them to pony up more money for NATO. Whereas Rasmussen showed the world that he told America to cut out the shit & stop with the annexing of Greenland bullshit.

I was already in a shitty mood because after I finished my round for Meals on Wheels this morning, they told me to check my phone this weekend as to whether I should show up next Monday for my normal delivery day. Our local office was unsure if we were going to receive a truckload of food this weekend that would be prepared into meals for our elderly & others in need. So a bunch of us thought maybe we could go to COSTCO & Publix to gather enough food to at least make meals available for Monday. But nothing is ever fucking easy! Due to dietary & legal reasons that idea wasn't feasible.

We're talking about the most needy in our communities. These are people, absolutely wonderful people, who depend on us because they don't have anyone else. With the government withholding funding no one knows what the fuck is happening. So my wife & I are going to do something about it.

She's going to make her famous chicken parmesan & we are going to deliver it to those on my route who I know don't have any dietary restrictions. I can't just let these folks down & I'm not going to.

Everyone knows I despise Silver Spoon Donnie but it's not just this prick. It's every leader & CEO who don't have the balls to say "Hey, Stupid don't this or hey, dipshit you can't do this." The lack of scruples & courage to stand up to this POS is pathetic. The markets are tanking, people are getting laid off, parts of our country have been hit by unbelievably bad weather & this POS is down here hanging out with the Saudis at his fucking golf course.

We knew who this scumbag was & yet the deplorables put him back in office. Fuck all of ya'll!   

WHO YA GONNA BELIEVE?

Marco Rubio met with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen. But were they really in the same meeting? Check for yourself....

Rubio: "I met with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen in Brussels today to talk about the defense priorities shared by our two nations. We discussed the importance of increasing burden sharing with NATO and addressing threats to the Alliance."

Lars Rasmussen: "6 HR honest and direct meeting with Secretary Rubio. I made it crystal clear that claims and statements about annexing Greenland are not only unacceptable and disrespectful, they amount to a violation of international war."

@kcblitzkrieg

 I agree with you kc. With Lutnik & Navarro giving their input, they are the most likely to get fired because neither one of them have the courage to fall on their swords.

He's going to make individual companies come and beg to be excluded from the tariffs in exchange for a loyalty oath and capitulation, just like he is doing to law firms and universities.

HELLO RIGHT HAND. HELLO LEFT HAND

 All within a few hours --

 Howard Lutnick: “I don’t think there’s any chance Trump is going to back off his tariff."

Peter Navarro: “This is not a negotiation"

Prima Donald:  "The tariffs give us great power to negotiate. They always have.”

There's literally no plan.

UPDATE 

How do you announce tariffs & then that you are willing to negotiate what you just stated? 

Once Boss Tweet realized his mistake, he posted on Truth Social, "TO THE MANY INVESTORS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE.”

Who can believe anything this sack of shit says? Yet, there are still morons who do & many of them are in this forum. How are your 401K's looking?

Come out, come out, wherever you are.....

HE ABANDONED OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS AGAIN!!!

The Lyin King was supposed to meet coffins of 4 fallen US soldiers who died in an accident in Lithuania at Dover Air Force Base as presidents traditionally do.

Instead, he came to Florida today to attend a dinner for a LIV golf tournament on his Miami course this weekend.

He believes respect is optional & his own comfort is paramount to everything else. 

This fucker could miss a meal or two but not this selfish prick.

He's a despicable POS

HELLO RIGHT HAND. HELLO LEFT HAND

All within a few hours --

WHAT COULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE THAN

Rudy Giuliani ringing the opening bell at the stock market today which began the freefall.

Earlier in the morning Rudy, a staunch Catholic, said a prayer to St.Upid who is the Patron Saint of Economic Collapses.

THE NOTORIOUS P.I.G AND HIS LINEUP OF ROOKIES 

Can you name any cabinet hold-overs from Quid Pro Combover's  first term who hold any critical positions? Nah, there aren't any. 

In key positions, you have a drunk wife beating former weekend TV host, a former WWE executive, a former acting attorney general, two billionaire finance guys with no government expertise, an ex-Senator who is way above his skill level & a VP with limited proficiency who can't keep his mouth shut. 

Toss in a governor from a rural state heading one massive agency and a roadkill eating vaccine denier running our healthcare departments. An ex-reality TV host runs our transportation. An oil & gas executive runs the department of Energy along with an anti-labor secretary. Other big agencies are led by a small state governor, a defeated Senate candidate, a veteran lacking in intelligence experience & an election denier who vowed political retribution in charge of the FBI. Last but not least an agriculture secretary who advised citizens to raise chickens to solve the egg availability issue. 

Of lesser note, we have an ex UFC talking head, a border czar who has been a complete failure & an ex con who quoted his alter-ego on economic issues. 

There are others but you get my point. If history repeats itself, many of these won't make it through Genghis Don's 4 year term because he takes no responsibility for anything & when the shit hits the fan someone needs to be blamed as long as it's not Fattyshack Donnie.

What could possibly go wrong? 

Friday & Saturday racing @ Keeneland has been canceled due to expected bad weather. These 2 cards have been moved to Monday & Tuesday of next week.

When my wife went over to pick up the keys, our other Canadian renter told her they will not be coming back again next winter.  They no longer feel welcomed in our country.

We won't have a problem renting the place but it sucks because they were very nice people & kept the place immaculate.

You feeling any better now kc?

There are a couple pf things that caught my eye with this colt.

#1 he got into last year's Derby off the AE list. He showed early speed coming way over for post #20  & was 5th at the 3/4 pole @ 47-1. He got banged around in the cavalry charge, shied away a little in all the traffic & ended up 14th of 20.

#2 Prior to the Derby, he ran in the Toyota Bluegrass Stakes @ KEENELAND where he ran 3rd from post #8 to Sierra Leone & Just a Touch while going off @ 51-1.

#3 After the Derby, he raced again in the Perryville @ KEENELAND breaking from post 12 & finished in a DH for 3rd @ 15-1 in a real game effort. He ended the 2024 season running 2nd at Turfway as the chalk getting caught at the wire.

#4 He's raced twice in 2025 winning both @ Turfway convincingly as the chalk by 3.5 & 5 lengths.

#5 Love that he breaks well out of the gate & post #3 on Saturday should help him stay out of traffic in this 12 horse field.

#6 The same connections stay together here with jockey Luan Machado winning @18% for small trainer John Ennis who wins @ 22%.

#7 He will have to beat a NY shipper for Wesley Ward in # 11 Wathatalkinabout & #10 Extra Anejo for Asmussen & #2 Montalcino for Cherie DeVaux who has tons of speed.

#8 I think we'll get better than the ML 6-1 odds with plenty of money being played on the Ortiz Brothers & Flavien Prat on the 3 horses mentioned above.

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN OUR FOUNDING FATHERS

JOHN ADAMS: "SO WE ALL AGREE NO KING, RIGHT?"

THOMAS JEFFERSON: "BUT WHAT ABOUT A THREE-TERM DRAMA QUEEN?" 

Take a look at #3 Epic Ride ML 6-1.

And the House has gone home for the week.

It's freaking Tuesday & they're going home already???

These fuckers aren't worth a shit!

SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

Gen. Dan Caine testified that Phony Soprano lied when he claimed that Caine told him that he would kill for him, and put on a MAGA hat while serving on active duty in Iraq. Mar A Cloggo has told this ‘Sir’ story hundreds of times, including at CPAC just one month ago. But Donnie D-Cup's nominee for Chair of Joint Chiefs said it didn’t happen.

Caine stated “I’ve never worn any political merchandise or said anything to that effect.”

Probably just an honest mistake, right?

Tuberville: “We built China - the American taxpayers. We built the Middle East. We built Europe. So now it’s time they help us build back our country after we’ve helped them so much, and that happens to be with tariffs.”

Good Lord, what a dumb fucker!
