I could understand* our rejection of democracy as a nation in favor of autocratic fascism if the guy calling the shots had good economic and/or strategic plans for where we are going. *Note that I am not be happy with this trajectory, but at least it would make sense. But this shit makes no sense

What BS! If they aren't making claims, they aren't costing anything. I really wish they'd show their work when they make these outlandish claims. The track record of this administration does not lend itself to any benefit of doubt.

I'm not saying this is smoking gun-level or anything, but remember who these guys are. Do you really think they would have to pay the men? I'm pretty sure they would do it for free. Compare Youngstown to San Antonio or Syracuse. Which one was straight out of central casting for a Libtard?

I wouldn't be surprised to find out she signed an NDA before they let her have any of the money. You heard Trump say they were paid protesters. Who do you think paid her?

I've convinced myself she was a plant and it was planned. Trump, she was paid! Otherwise, the police providing security would be in very hot water for not arresting the man who punched her on camera. The fact nobody is screaming assault and attempted murder is because nobody is pressing charges.

I had 3 brothers as a child. We played Lego as well as some other brand (white blocks with two large round things on top instead of 8 small ones). Jacks were for girls. When I was 4, I got a sister. By the time I was 8, she was playing with jacks. Jacks are worse.

Can we find out what Trump had to do to get that $4Mil? I mean, FIFA is corrupt as it gets...they don't give money away for nothing.

Have you seen her speak? Even the suggestion that she was accepted by a law school should be questioned? Talk about DEI!

Well, you gotta admit, that's gonna be a bit tough to parody.

Unfortunately, even after the wounds have scarred over and relationships rebuilt, there will be those who believe that Trump was right all along. Those will be the ones trying to keep their children from learning.

Does this mean that the administration now has a way to put whatever they want into a person's Google Search History? How much you want to bet that we hear a lot more about Search History in coming weeks?

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

I'd bet, once all of the dust has settled, we're going to find out that "low IQ person" is how the Tech Bros referred to the hoi palloi. When trump asked what hoi palloi meant, they told him "low IQ people".

I'd like to ask all those who responded with "Somewhat confident" through "Not confident at all" if they were planning on eating any of the food they were buying. Would you eat some chicken if you were only "Somewhat confident" was safe?

I'd like to believe that this is a sign that the younger generation is capable of independent thought. Then, I thought, what if Adam had been paid to say that?!

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

I disagree with one point--one of phrasing. I am quite confident that, of course, everybody can easily afford all the basic necessities needed to survive. We only choose a society where for the many, these are prohibited by and for the enrichment of the few. We could choose another way.

The thing is, they don't even have to make less money. All they have to do is stop the price gouging* and make the same amount they made before. *Isn't that what they call it when you raise your prices due to a catastrophic event even though your supply isn't affected?

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

I'm pretty sure there were more paid trump supporters there than paid protesters.

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

You know it was a fishing expedition. We're likely not going to see the warrant. The intent is to tarnish with accusations. They will all end up being false, but by then, it won't matter. This behavior will continue until we decide to stop it.

If you live in MS, please vote! If you know somebody in MS, call them and tell them to vote! We can do this. Cindy Hyde-Smith is about as smart as a box of rocks (depending, of course, on the type of rock).

I am fairly sure the SC immunity decision was to enable DOJ (and/or Trump's personal lawyers) draw up legal opinions as to why he is not committing war crimes, that his actions are upholding the Constitution, and that killing your enemy is not murder.

Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, is on record believing in the Pizzagate scandal, so every reporter should ask this lunatic conspiracy theorist only about her Pizzagate views and nothing about Trump or his policies, which will cause Trump to fire her crazy ass.

I worked with a guy whose first name was "Adolph". He was in his 60s, twenty years ago. Worked with the man my whole career. Few people knew his first name was Adolph, he was just known as 'AJ'.

I don't believe you can trust a single thing this man says. I wouldn't trust him to tell me if the sun was shining. And, that's a bad thing for POTUS, who represents the entire country.

I got my absentee vote packet yesterday. It's more complicated to fill out than my income taxes. Keeping in mind that any error, however minor, is reason for rejection, I'm kinda scared to fill it out. I guess that's the point. They want collect my taxes, but reject my vote.

I'm sorry, but after we kick Trump to the curb, I want him to parade naked down the streets of DC, ala the emperor with no clothes (let him wear a G-string, as if you could tell). Then, when he's on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, I want joystick control of his cyborg legs and make him dance!

I'm not sure Cyborg-Trump can even play golf. Has he even played since his 'conversion'?

If Trump hadn't meddled with International Affairs as a citizen, Putin would have capitulated in 2023.

A little known fact: Neither did Trump.

Capitalism is like gambling. It rewards taking a risk. You can see its appeal, particularly to a certain sector. One of the things they like most is that it is easy to rig Capitalism (as with gambling) so the 'house' always wins, but difficult for society (rubes) to notice (or care?).

As you note, the most profitable. If their fuel bill is up 60%, how much has their revenue gone up? I mean, if they are making more money, is paying more for fuel really a bad thing? Honestly, if they are profitable and are out-earning their competitors, even if they make less, they still win.

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I have to assume that, just like the strikes on Venezuela and Iran were dividends to the Oil Companies for their investment in the Trump regime, the Diesel deal with Putin is the same thing.

But, when registration fees (vehicle taxes) fall on your car every years because it's value is falling, you don't complain then, do ya'? Didn't think about that? It goes both ways. Wait?? What??

We need oil for the world? What's this? Now America is responsible for supplying oil to the world? Regardless of whether or not the world has America's best interests at heart? This doesn't sound very America First, to me. It's somebody first, but not America.

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Better yet. Teach your sons that they have the responsibility to protect women in vulnerable positions. Honestly, you should teach them to protect all people (not just women) who are in vulnerable positions, but that just might be too woke.

It's easy to make dogs look guilty. I think most of them know they are getting the better part of the deal. I'm OK with that.

Except, we will borrow (add to the deficit) to buy $100 oil to replace the $40 oil we filled it with.

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I disagree with you a bit, here. Trump didn't empty the reserves to keep gas prices low, he did it to keep oil prices UP. You gotta understand, they've had AI working on this and the plan is suck as much money from the rubes as possible. In 3 months, filling SPR will be a National Security Issue.

Of course, he's trying to start a race war. More like a "Let's you and him fight," kind of war, but he's been doing it for more than half a century. The big question, in my mind, "Are Americans dumb enough to fall for it?"

020

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I agree. We need to rid ourselves of this orange menace before we start to begin hating each other for not being blue enough. Don't take the bait.

The Smiling Frog @thesmilingfrog.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

He's not conflating anything with anything, he's just babbling. He got to say that if he didn't stop Iran from getting nukes, the USA would have been bombed, and they bought it! As a plus, he got his faithful to cheer for the destruction of America, what are the odds on that?

All this about Trump and nuking LA and SD-you knew when he uttered it that he specifically used wording he could deny. You heard it yet want to pretend that he was deadly serious. Weak sauce. But, to get Americans to cheer for an enemy nuking American cities, that was no mistake. That is the story

If Trump is taking elocution lessons from Melania, that might by a problem...
