COMPETENCE AND HONESTY ARE STILL VIRTUES. LET’S VOTE FOR SOME NEXT TIME

Tipping point? America and the world seems to have finally realized Donald Trump is nothing but a bullying incompetent immoral grifter par excellence who has burned our country’s bridges as fast as he can. And leaves us nothing but a gigantic mess that will take an untold amount of time to fix. If, hopefully, we can. He’s currently at a NATO confab in Europe. Threatening. Insulting. Glowering. Preening. And what’s the result? The adults in the room are ignoring him and carrying on with the business of governing the world. Good. We can’t wait until the US gets to do that. Meanwhile, back here, review of Trump’s OBBBA a year later is not wearing well. In fact it’s so unpopular that the GOP is attempting to rebrand it the ‘Working Families Tax Cuts.’ Nice try. They leave an important part out. It's a much sweeter deal for America's wealthiest people, who get a PERMANENT extension of tax cuts Trump enacted in his first term. We hear Trump and Vance talk about not taxing tips (up to $25,000 per year) or overtime pay ($12,500 per year). But those working-class tax breaks EXPIRE in less than two and a half years, at the end of 2028. So the tax breaks for the rich guys who don’t need them, that were set to expire last year, are now permanent. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office in August projected that the wealthiest 10% of Americans will see a bottom-line benefit of about $13,600 a year. While budget cuts in the OBBBA would see Americans at the other end of the economic spectrum take a hit of about $1,200 annually. Cynical rebranding won’t work on this POS. More…on July 4, 2026 the NYT reported that 1M people who bought President Trump’s memecoin have lost money. The losses total $3.81B. This coming after Trump signed a financial disclosure revealing that the same crypto bet dealt him a $636M payout. In all, his business ventures brought him at least $2.25B in 2025. That Trump exploits the presidency for financial gain is a given. But now there are real numbers with real victims attached. $2.2B in total gains for Trump and at least $3.81B in losses for his investors. He fleeced his supporters with his memecoin. And there’s no doubt, he was targeting them. NYT also reported: “Three days before his inauguration, Mr. Trump unveiled a second Trump-branded investment — the $Trump memecoin. A type of novelty currency with little practical value. ‘It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!’ Mr. Trump wrote on social media. ‘Join my very special Trump community. GET YOUR $TRUMP NOW!’ Let the buyer beware. Sheep were born to be fleeced. But should the president, whose supporters put him in office twice, be his first choice? If you’re a grifter, of course. Total trust creates a bird’s nest on the ground, not to be ignored. Lastly a reminder of what constitutes Communism: a system of government in which the ruling party controls major investment decisions while hoarding wealth for itself and suppressing all opposition. Sounds more like like a DJT fever dream. GOP. The party of projection strikes again.
