Retired, opinionated curmudgeon. Lean a little left. Only golf when my flask is full. Love my Saturday jam.

Well. We had a drinking game. A shot for each time he said "never been anything like it" or "everyone knows it" ... in 15 minutes, 9 shots. You know its all lies. I'm going to be walking this off for a few hours...

He acts like he wants to be a Mafia Don. But he isn't smart enough, disciplined enough, calculating enough. He's just soggy, ill tempered, sniveling Don.

Just imagine Trump, at the G7 sitting around the table with 6 others discussing trade. No photo ops, no one to hear the lies except the 6 who will call him out on every one. He would sit there not understanding anything going on. Why would he stay? He rushed back to the security blanket minions...

It was a gross injustice to have Trump speak at the convocation of West Point, after his administration gutted veterans affairs and pissed on their integrity and self respect. Pure political bullshit.

Is Johnson the biggest "kiss ass" trumper? He knows he's lying (Face the Nation) and you can tell that he knows he's lying. Waste, fraud and abuse is a big red herring. Those 3 things combined would not represent .5 of a percent of any big budget item. That's why they can't give examples of it.

Tweet of the day? So many Trump loyalists have turned inside out from their former same selves.

A few facts: I'm a grumpy old man. And a political junkie. Trump lies with every 2nd thing he says. Online and TV media are wasting their time when interviewing Trump. They compromise integrity for ratings. It's an affront to anyone who can think critically. It's like ice cream to the lemmings.

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

Seems that Stephen Miller is interviewing and tweeting in an increasingly panicked mode, like he needs to speed up the crimes and atrocities rate in order to hold power. Time for the thumb to come down on his Goebbels like neck.

Who ever heard of a secretary of state saying "well if we can't negotiate a ceasefire, we'll walk away". People good at judging people will know this is a guy with a conscience trying to sell a solution he knows is wrong, but afraid to call out the president, who said he could end the war in a 24hrs

I live in a city of 150k people. Can't find a grocery store that sells American oranges anymore. I guess our grocery chains think they leave a bitter taste in our mouths.

Message to Lutnick: tariffs will not cover for the lack of quality in American products and services. You're not better at mftg/production. The world is industrious, not arrogant. Better products. Read "The Puritan Gift". In you, the world sees the US : loud and arrogant. It won't sell.

Should be a quiet white house correspondent dinner. 11 Fox hosts, a few Breitbart people and Alex Jones by special invite having a political rally. Someone keep an eye on Hexsex. He's due for another clue to his incompetence. Tulsi had hers today.

The announcement of massive job cuts is not really job cuts. It's people cuts. Once the cuts are done, residing will begin... with MAGA loyalists.

Jason Crow on fire! To Gabbard, got her consent that she knew classification categories of her department, then read verbatim part of the text thread, forcing her to agree the info should be classified. Why didn't she interject into the chat putting that out?? Purely irresponsible and dangerous!!

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Watching intelligence committee hearing. I'm astounded at the sophomoric behavior of Gabbard,the ignorance of ratcliffe and gabbard about policy around release of info. But they're both pretty damn good at covering their own ass... at the cost of US security. They're more helping solve the problem.

@cnn.com is it so hard to find a sane republican to comment on the state of affairs that you have to put that moron Tim Burchett on? Is he trying to become the next John Kennedy?

Can someone make a caricature of Scar (lion king) as Trump?

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
Not my original thought but worthy of repeat: The meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump was one of a man without a suit, and a suit without a man.

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
I think Trump will push ahead with tariffs on Canada and Mexico. He's been called out for his baby tantrum last week and needs to have his revenge. Doesn't matter in who. As long as he can temporarily feel good by it...

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
Lutnick on CNN, like Trump and Vance, yelling an indefensible position on behalf of his boss. 300 billion is already a proven lie. Why does he keep repeating it. He might be a bigger liar than Trump.

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
Trump, at his white house meeting with Zelenskyy, showed clearly that he CANNOT negotiate. And his ghost author had the gaul to put his name on a book about it. He only knows bullying, using military strength as a battering ram. At negotiation he is a loser. His minions are too. J D Vance...pshaww

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
Great job by Zellensky in baiting not just one moron but two, into showing that they are only out for "you gotta be thankful". I think he realized that you can't win an argument when the motion doesn't know he's lost. Trump was like an old man telling kids to get off his lawn. FFS

Not sure i understand how there can be no one in charge of DOGE?? If no one is named as the boss, i guess that makes Trump the boss. The buck stops with Trump. He alone is responsible for every outcome from the rash of questionable decisions which have been reported by musk??

Another example of Musk and his " ready, shoot, aim" strategy. He said he would say incorrect things. He didn't mention it would be once a day...

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 14/02/2025
It's very hard to watch the financial markets, and all the world govts wait each day to hear what irrational nonsense Trump will spew. And worse to see them make decisions based on that nonsense.

trumps decisions around firing the head of the FAA, and freezing hiring of air traffic controllers didn't factor into the crash, these very stupid decisions were brought to light by the accident. That hurts Trump and his stupid minions who think they can save money, but instead are killing people.

Trump making stuff up in his presser is totally not helpful. Always blaming... when he says "nobody has seen anything like it" and when he starts playing the accordion with his hands, those are sure signs that he is LYING. Stop giving him airtime when he lies...

Jim Ruggles @lotl1.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
So Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali ... for Trump... for the next 4 years. To pacify the shiny baby. By falling in line they are subtly saying "hers your pacifier Donny, now go take your nap and be a good baby".

Fun watching the referee in the background, watching an obvious penalty on the Buffalo attacker and not throwing a flag, after watching questionable calls on Buffalo 3 times in the first half. Maybe there is something to the 12th man for Kansas... he should be wearing a red jersey.

Interesting comparison, and Canada has some pretty challenging geographic barriers to manage that the US doesn't.

For Trump to be unprepared for the bishop is an indication of his lack of readiness for everything. His team was caught off guard. The next time, and there will be one, many people could be hurt. Remember Trump and his team are talkers, not planners.

See this just now. I'm sure many normal people have had these thoughts as well. Makes you wonder how Elon would react in a situation where he had a real easy opportunity to provide great help.
