We might have to do without for a while.

HERE we have a Just the News interview with Donald from today, where he's being asked how he feels about Kash going after the miscreants in the Russia Russia Russia Hoax. We find him referring to the Epstein case as the "Epstein Hoax". We find him bragging about his tariffs, and continuing to insist the whole world has been awful to us, while never once admitting they were encouraged to enjoy the no tariffs while we had the most powerful military on the planet.

They got their pay by not having to pay tariffs, charging us as much as they wanted and their protection from our military. They've long since stopped paying even into NATO, let alone into their own militaries. It's been a long orgie for the corrupt.

I guess Donald thinks that's the more face-saving way for them to be brought to heel, but, and maybe it wasn't general knowledge, but for anyone paying any attention to geopolitics over the last many decades it's been blaringly apparent... and increasingly so over the last quarter century.

We did NOT stop charging tariffs in 1913. We began paying income tax in 1913. I'm not sure whether Donald knows this or not, but he's wrong on that score. My grandmother was tearing her hair out about how many times the tariffs would go up and down, making it a total headache for anyone in the import/export game. I think that stopped being a problem after Nixon officially unmoored our dollar from gold... I think... I'm unclear on a lot of things that happened while I was being hounded by packs of highly motivated hosers.

I don't think I cottoned on fully until I saw Merkel caving in to Obama's OUTRAGEOUS dictates. I'd already been wondering, but it was Merkel suddenly breaking off her friendly relations with Putin and acting like the rest of the clowns of Clown World that sealed it.

If you don't do what "Daddy" says, you have things like suddenly having to have your own military budget, and drastically reduced skim for all your lieutenants. You get sent to the corner in your dunce cap until you smarten up... kind of like they're doing to certain leaders in the EU now.

Don't mistake this for being only American scoundrels bullying and paying everyone else. Nope. It's scoundrels from all over USING our military and our treasury to take over the planet. So it's true that Donald is throwing, or appears to be throwing, a wrench into that plan, but he really might only be trying to wrest some of it back for the poor bankrupt American taxpayers while there's still so much resistance from countries like Russia and China and Iran and... well... what they like to refer to nowadays as The Global South, whether it's south or not.

And, yes, this does make EVERY leader in Clown World a despicable, brainless, psychopath.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Donald has about completely left off any mention of the ongoing slaughter in Palestine, and any mention of Bibi's attacks on Syria, to add in with his ludicrous stance on Russia's SMO. Innat weird?

I think they've taken Ivanka hostage.


pipe up any time....
