So supporters of POTUS are talking seriously about asking him to declare Martial Law,and stop the November 3rd elections, by shutting down polling places.Using his "army" to enforce the law. The "army" of course will consist of 1/6 arrestees,and ICE agents, not the U.S. Military.There will be blood.

If you're old enough to remember J. Fred Mugs and Dave Garroway on the first "Today" shows,then, like me,you're old as dirt, so "Like" this and comment.

Shitler always tells us, sometimes not so subtly, that he would "annihilate" Iran. This is obviously him seriously considering the "nuclear option". Should he actually do this, (and he might), the entire global economy would crash, like a set of dominoes falling. Yes, it would end the war, and us!

So in his genius, Shitler is now going to build a tower topped with missiles, rockets, attack drones, machine-gun nests, and snipers. From his insane point of view, this will discourage and/or kill any protesters on the National Mall.This would make Tiananmen Square in China, look like child's play.

So Alito and Thomas have done it again.Going completely against the Constitution,and voting with Shitler on the mail-in ballot issue. Not surprisingly,the other 4 "conservative" justices hedged their bets,and left it open for another challenge before the '28 election. These people are NOT Americans!

Has anyone else noticed that in "Republican" political ads, they never say how they will help the American people? It's always about things like Jon Ossoffs expensive hair cuts, or that the Dems are all communists or how much money Dems. stole. What are they going to do for the people? NOTHING!!

So Scott Bessent, Sec. Treasury, thinks that it's Biden's fault for our current inflation,and Ukraine's fault for fighting a war with Russia. He thinks that tariffs and the war with Iran, are a minor problem! Is this billionaire for real? What a total ass-kissing POS! He thinks costs now are lower!

SCOTUS is so crooked, that even when the Chief Justice notes that Shiler's decision to build his ballroom is "lawless", the 5 most-crooked Justices, vote that he can do it. THEY KNOW it's BREAKING THE LAW, and they still allow it. My God, how corrupt can our government get? They don't care we know!

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
SCOTUS has really screwed us this time. Shitler's executive order, for all practical purposes, eliminates mail-in voting, and the assholes on the "high" court, supported it, by not ruling against it. How are the people who are invalid or sick going to vote? How is anyone posted outside their state?

So after only 20 months as POTUS, Shitler's numbers are under water in 47 States. I bet I can guess the States where he is still popular, can you? The question is, will these 47 States still vote for the Great Fascist Party in November? Or will they finally realize they're being conned?

With all of the sympathy going to the men and women on the carrier "Lincoln", everyone seems to forget about the 700 or so sailors aboard the two destroyers still on station, for the same period of time, who are in REAL trouble. Destroyers are very small ships compared to carriers.

Try to imagine putting your life savings in the new Shitler bank! A man that has declared bankruptcy at least 6 times, and is doing his damnest to bankrupt the former United States. Who could possibly be that stupid? Don't answer that, I know who.

So just venting. Calling any doctor or company, or even the local post office, all you get is some A.I. robot asking stupid questions or hanging up because it's "none of the above". This world is going nuts, and we are all victims of this "lack of service" mentality. 20 minutes on hold is absurd!

So breakfast this a.m. with acquaintances. "Not to get into politics, but I'm worried about losing Medicare and Medicaid. Our rural hospital will have to close." Look of disbelief! "What do you mean?". "The Big B.B. After November Medicaid disappears. $500mil. gone from Medicare" "Really?" DOH!!

So Shitler's "fabulous" economy, lost 23,000 jobs last month. Americans criticized Joe Biden , when most months, he had well over 200,000 jobs. I don't think Shitler has had one month near that amount, and now he's losing more jobs. But the markets hit new records every day. Something's fucked up!

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Looking at today's (8/3/26) stock markets, setting records! Meanwhile, the economy is slowing to the slowest pace since the end of the second world war. Most Americans, who are not heavily invested in the markets, are feeling the pinch. How does this make sense? The markets are being manipulated!

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
So I'm no mind reader. But it's obvious to me that Shitler, and his buddy Stephen Miller, are planning on stopping the '26 election. Not the way you think. But by taking away our anti-terrorism capability, and literally inviting a large-scale terrorist attack on America. Probably New York. (2)

So puzzled and astounded this a.m.when I saw a replay of a Fox interview with the Vice Chairman of the so-called Democratic Socialist Party (which I never heard of, sorry). She is against everything in government, meaning no government at all. Let all criminals out of jail, no borders at all. (more)

The four service members that were just killed in missile attacks by Iran, won't be counted as war-related deaths by our Fearless Leader and his lackey, Hogsbreath, because (get this), they were killed during a "cease fire"!! When did I move to North Korea? Who else is really pissed about this?

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
So more than 20 "Republican" congressmen were interviewed and asked what issues they disagreed with Shitler.To the man/woman,every one said the didn't disagree with anything he is doing. Now you're in the grocery store or gas pump,and looking at major price increases. They can't even object to that!

I turn on "Joe" every morning at 6, but leave the sound off for the first few seconds, just in case the program opens with Shitler speaking. I can't stand his voice or his appearance. It actually makes my skin crawl.

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
I'm wondering if the newest Shitler gimmick, "Trump Account" will be a scam to get parents to "save" up to $5000. for their kids, and end up somehow in his own pocket? To me, anything with his name attached has to be some kind of fraud. What do you think?

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
So my question is,why don't the governors of States where Shitler is going to deploy ICE at the polling places,call out the State Police to protect the voters from ICE? Warning ICE agents that if they intimidate voters in any way,they will be arrested, and kept in isolation,until after the election?

So things are getting worse on the cost of food front. Went grocery shopping yesterday, and for the first time in my life, a 1lb Choice steak, $37. ! Not to be out done, lamb chops went up 20% in one week. Even jello is up 25%. JELLO! Forget about hamburger! I can't imagine what families are doing.

Is anyone else seeing the similarity between Musk's "Star Link", and Terminator's "Sky Net"? Other than the time warps, and menacing robots, Star Link is soon going to be in every computer, tv, and phone. This includes Defense Dept. hardware. One man, controls the entire thing, and POTUS has stock!

While I'm a big fan of USA winning a soccer match,I'm very disturbed that our POTUS has put his thumb on the scale. If the U.S. does win the match, the rest of the world will see us as cheaters forever. Referees' decisions are checked during a game, not undone afterward.Sorry if this offends anyone.

How did you feel the moment you saw that weasel, Mike Johnson, say how much he opposed the ruling by SCOTUS, on "Birthright Citizenship"? And how he was going to work to pass a law to change that. Did you think of how many people that are Americans, because of this. MILLIONS and MILLIONS of us!

Watching "Joe" this a.m. showing a clip of Maria Bartaromo on Fox "Not News", interviewing J.D. Vance. As literal garbage is coming out of his mouth, she's just bobbing her head, as if it were gospel. Believe it or not, she was once a pretty good financial reporter. She's completely sold out. Sad!

So I have to admit that I almost popped my cork today. Went grocery shopping, as I do once a week. Every time I looked at the prices, compared to, not last year, not last month, but LAST WEEK, I got madder. Even the lousy chicken salad at the Deli went up 15% from last week! My eggs are now $8 dz!

I think the reason that Shitler appointed Bill Pulte to DNI, is exactly what he was qualified for. That is NOTHING! Pulte is already clearing the way for a terrorist attack on the former United States. Shitler wants an attack, so he can declare Martial Law, and stop the elections in November.

Watching the speeches from Michelle and Barack Obama today, reminded me of what a real President and First Lady look, act,and talk like.I listened all the way through both speeches,and they kept my attention. Listening and watching Shitler, I can't stand more than 15 seconds, before I want to vomit.

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
I think I'm losing it! This a.m., "Joe" is saying that Shitler's popularity is down to 39%, the lowest point in his Presidency. But last week it was only 35%! So did it go up? How can 39% of Americans still think this moron is doing a good job? What planet am I on. Please save me.

So this year, for the first time in my long retirement, I see my fixed income not keeping up with my expenses. There's a simple explanation. EVERYTHING from food, to gas to ordinary purchases, to insurance, to health care, has dramatically increased. While I watch Shitler and friends getting richer.

If J.D. Vance is the best POTUS candidate that the GFP can put up, they are in deep do do. Vance has the personality of a ground hog, and people don't respect him. He will be playing to 30% if he's lucky, (election deniers), and possibly even less. Same goes for little Marco. Good news for Dems!

So pro-Shitler editorial in today's local paper, says that Shitler NEVER said he would not get us involved in any wars! To split hairs, the writer said, that Shitler said, he would not get us involved in any "forever" wars! These folks are deaf, dumb, and completely blind to what POTUS is doing.

So I am remembering the great Peter Sellers movie, "The Mouse that Roared", and looking at the proposed $300 billion dollar payment to Iran. In the movie, Sellers thinks that America is surrendering to a tiny little European country. In real life, we appear to be surrendering to Iran. Wow!

captainwest.bsky.social @captainwest.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
I'm slow on the uptake, but it just dawned on me that these "detention" centers are privately owned,and I don't have a clue who owns them.I've never seen the name of a person or company on any network news,including MS Now.Shouldn't we be going after these companies, to make them allow inspections?

Not to scare anyone, but our mad-man POTUS, has just basically invited the Chinese to invade Taiwan, a close ally, and a supplier of much of the tech that we are using, as well as every day consumer products. And guess what? We won't lift a finger to help them. We now look weak to them.
