High prices and rising borrowing costs are squeezing family budgets, forcing more Americans to cut back on things like bowling and dining out. For many families, fun is becoming increasingly out of reach. This is Donald Trump’s economy.

El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"

The President said he’d send you DOGE checks and tariff rebates. He never did. Now he’s lying again. He’s desperately trying to cling to power. Americans don’t need more empty promises. They need real action to make life more affordable.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

Donny held another batshit rally last night, and he's too fucking narcissistic to understand just how badly he's screwing up the GOP's midterm chances. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I throw my head back in laughter. link is here: bit.ly/4hreRl7
The bottom line is that who gives a shit what memes I use to mock the fuckery. All that matters is that Donny is super toxic right now. He’s massively unpopular — even among the GOP — and every time he shows up at one of these shittacular rallies, he just digs himself and his party deeper.

We’re at the point where Republicans up for reelection don’t want this guy coming around and fucking up their chances. It’s pretty much only the perennial losers and bottom-feeders like Ramaswamy who are still sucking up to Dear Leader.

Shoot that shit straight into my veins.

Get out and vote on November 3rd. It’ll ruin Donny’s day. I promise.
