Felon Says He’s Not a Rapist, Pedophile

By Michael Woyton

Anything interesting happen over the weekend?

JK, I know there was a “60 Minutes” interview where president donald j. felon* said he wasn’t a rapist or a pedophile.

Oh, and there was the incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, too.

CBS’ Nora O’Donnell committed an act of journalism during the interview by reading a portion of an email reportedly written and sent by Cole Tomas Allen, the man arrested after being accused of charging a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday.

In the so-called manifesto, Allen laid out his rationale for the actions he’s been accused of taking.

After saying he was a “citizen of the United States of America” and “What my representatives do reflects on me,” he wrote, “And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

The last part of that sentence is what O’Donnell read to the president during the interview.

You’ll see and hear the derogatory tone the elderly golfer-in-chief takes with O’Donnell, telling her that she should be ashamed of herself and that she’s a disgrace.

But, to her credit in this instance, O’Donnell asks the perfect question: “Oh, do you think he was referring to you?”

Allen did not mention the mango makeup man by name, but the mango makeup man obviously knew who Allen was referring to.

And by the way, diaper don, a judge determined you are indeed a rapist.

And one more thing, please prove to us that you are not a pedophile and release all the Epstein files with your name not redacted so we can see if you are telling the truth.

It’s continues to be difficult to believe anything you say if you continue to try to cover up what you’ve done.

The first “lady” has the sadz over something Jimmy Kimmel said.

In a social media post Monday, flotus accused the late-night talk show host of spewing “hateful and violent rhetoric” about her family.

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate,” she wrote in response to who knows what, likely the comedian’s mock correspondents’ dinner monologue.

See Kimmel’s whole monologue through the link here.

My response to Melania: “I really don’t care.”

Here’s the brilliant Ann Telnaes’ take.

Felon Shows ‘Leadership’ Through People He Hires, Fires

By Michael Woyton

It’s difficult to follow the news, both nationally and internationally, and not constantly mutter “what the hell is going on?”

Last weekend, eight children, all under the age of 11, were massacred and two women critically wounded in Shreveport, Louisiana, by a man with a gun and it barely was a top news item for a hot minute.

For someone who thought that, surely, 20 children and six adults being slaughtered in Newtown, Connecticut, would make a difference in the gun-control conversation, I don’t know if this country has just become inured to mass gun violence or if there’s something more afoot.

Is it perhaps because a 34-times-convicted felon and adjudicated rapist living in the White House while constantly posting outrageous things on social media continues to try to break our spirits?

You know the guy. His recent “thoughts” have become stranger and stranger, from threatening to wipe an entire nation of people off the face of the earth to Frank Sinatra singing, “And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain.” A person can wish.

You also know the guy’s “guys.”

Of course, the less said about the incredibly incompetent and thoroughly unlikable Shady Vance the better, but the “guys” include a secretary of health who doesn’t believe in science, but will cut off the penis a dead raccoon to take it home to “study.”

They also include an FBI director who, according to The Atlantic, has had trouble waking up after serious imbibing to the detriment of his law enforcement duties and even had a reporter investigated by his agency for writing about his girlfriend.

The “guys” also include a supposedly alcohol-abstaining, heavily tattooed former weekend talk show host who believes that we are fighting a holy war but can’t seem to win said war while firing top leadership during said holy war.

The “guys” previously included women who ~~were forced to~~ resigned: an attorney general, because she didn’t prosecute the boss’ enemies fast enough, who was replaced by a man; a homeland security secretary, who made self-promotional videos and oversaw the deaths of civilian protesters and was replaced by a man; and a labor secretary, who was accused of abuse of power, having an affair with a subordinate and drinking on the job and will likely be replaced with a man.

More drinking allegations? Jeez, combine the def sec, the FBI director, the labor sec and toss in the United States attorney for D.C. and no wonder the joke going around is that the president has a Liquor Cabinet.

Because a fish rots from the head, let’s go back to the man himself.

president donald j. felon* still says that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

Whether he really really believes that or it’s all part of his dementia is anyone’s guess.

But his belief/delusion is reinforced by those around him.

Pretty much anyone he appoints who has to be OK’d by the Senate are asked, in one form or another, who won the 2020 presidential election.

Not one of them will outright say that Joe Biden won. It’s all “this body certified Joe Biden” or they flat out refuse to answer.

That makes the golfer-in-chief happy and solidifies in what is left of his mind what he thinks is the correct answer.

And then on Wednesday, the orange mayor of Mar-a-Lago posted on his ironically named Truth Social that the vote over redistricting in Virginia Tuesday was “A RIGGED ELECTION.”

He said that “All day long Republicans were winning,” even though the polls didn’t close until 7 p.m. which was when the votes could actually show who was winning or losing.

After actually admitting that his most recent election was “very close to a 50-50 split” — he usually says he won in a landslide — the president said, “As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person” … OK … I’ll wait for y’all to stop laughing …

If you’ve collected yourselves, here is the wording of the Virginia ballot question:

“Question: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”

We’ve all seen poorly worded ballot questions, but this one really is pretty straight-forward — especially if you’re an extraordinarily brilliant person.

Maybe it’s time for another cognitive exam?

Speaking of the Epstein files, at least acting Attorney General Blanche is by definition “temporary.”

Felon Criticizes Pope, Then Compares Himself to Jesus: WTF Now! Edition

By Michael Woyton

Remember those days when you’d pull an all-nighter for whatever reason? Studying for a big test. Taking care of a sick kid. Finishing up a work project.

How do you think an all-nighter would go if you were close to 80 years old and you’re in a high-stress job and trying to find a way out of an illegal war you started?

Throw in that more than likely you have dementia — and that might make you think you are Jesus Christ.

FREE: Subscribe to On Second Thought now:

From shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday through shortly after 4 a.m. Monday, president donald j. felon* posted a dozen times on his social media app.

The topics included a namesake tower on the moon, a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, former President Joe Biden (twice — same post), Rep. Eric Swalwell and his ballroom.

One of the postings was an AI-generated representation of the president as Jesus Christ, touching a man’s forehead as if he were healing him.

The “I am the lord thy god” post followed the convicted felon calling Pope Leo “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.”

The Orange Bishop of Mar-a-Lago is pissed that the pope was critical of him for warring and stuff.

Basically, the pope shouldn’t do anything but praise the donald because “I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do,” the demented night owl posted.

Pope Leo, according to the adjudicated rapist, is soft on crime and nuclear weapons and is catering to the “Radical Left.”

All of this would be funny if it weren’t so sad … and so dangerous.

The New York Times said the Jesus post was taken down by late Monday morning, but the pontiff did have a response.

Pope Leo said that he is not afraid of the president, and has no fear of “speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do.”

Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan, who is a Catholic, said the image was “deeply offensive and disrepectful.”

She said her Lord “represents humility, sacrifice, compassion, empathy and truth. Everything [the president] is not.”

It’s an easy out to mention that President Joe Biden never compared himself to the son of God or verbally bitch slapped the pope, and he was taken to task for far less cognitive concerns than the aging Florida man continues to display.

But it sure as hell is true.

Where are the constant calls for him to resign? Where are the mainstream media editorial boards? Where are the voices on the right side of the aisle?

Missing in action, that’s where.

Are they all waiting for something worse to happen.

25th A; Pope Gets Threat; DOJ Says Bondi Won’t Talk: Headlines

By Michael Woyton

Here’s a look at some of the news that is being made, including a new call for firing the president, the Pentagon threatening the pope and the former attorney not testifying about the Epstein investigation.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker joined a growing number of lawmakers and conservative pundits in calling for president donald trump’s* removal from office in the wake of his graphic threats to bomb Iran.

“It’s past time,” Pritzker posted on social media. “The 25th Amendment must be invoked.”

A Pentagon official threatened the current pope for criticizing the military actions take by the president and secretary of defense by reminding the Vatican that a 14th century pope was attacked and killed by a French monarch.

The threat led Pope Leo — the first pontiff born in the United States — to reject the White House’s invitation to help celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.

A study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that at least 2.5 million low-income people lost SNAP benefits because of the president’s budget passed in July.

Hardest hit was Arizona, which saw 424,000 of its residents, or 47 percent, being kicked off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, sometimes called food stamps.

A spokesperson for the USDA, which administers the federal program, applauded the drop in SNAP participation.

Tremont, a town of 2,000 residents in Pennsylvania, located in a county in which 70 percent of the 2024 vote went for the current president, is pushing back on Department of Homeland Security plans to house 7,500 immigration detainees in a vacant warehouse.

“The resistance there has been largely divorced from the national debate around the president’s immigration policies. Instead, residents cite a raft of local concerns — water, sewer, health care and emergency response systems that could be overwhelmed.”

The federal government usually doesn’t pay local property taxes. Though the warehouse wasn’t being used, the previous owner was still paying taxes. Locals feel that hundreds of thousands of revenue dollars would be lost by having the government as a landlord.

To no one’s surprise, the Department of Justice said that former attorney general Pam Bondi won’t appear for her April 14 deposition before the House Oversight Committee to talk about the Epstein investigation for the sole reason that she is no longer the attorney general.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia said Bondi must testify whether or not she is the AG, and if she defies the subpoena, contempt charges will begin.

Felon Adds ‘Domestic Terrorist’ to His Resume

By Michael Woyton

The hard truth is, we have a domestic terrorist living in the White House.

president donald j. felon* has proven over the past couple of days that he doesn’t care about the people of the United States.

He also doesn’t care about the people of the world, other than his buddies/fellow authoritarians.

FREE: Subscribe to On Second Thought now:

That makes him an international terrorist as well.

On Easter Sunday, he threatened to obliterate the country of Iran and then doubled down with another post giving a deadline for what could well be construed as a nuclear threat for 8 p.m. Tuesday.

I was born post-duck and cover and pre-Cuban Missile Crisis and grew up knowing that the Cold War was real and arms control treaties were something to be celebrated.

Judging from news reports and social media, I don’t think I was alone in wondering — from the moment I awoke Tuesday until the “deal” was announced shortly around 6 p.m. — if the unthinkable would happen and, once again, the U.S. would maintain its title as the only country on the face of the earth to use nuclear weapons against another country.

The elderly golfer, who is displaying signs of dementia, has always been unpredictable.

During his first term, the president spoke openly in meetings about increasing the number of nuclear weapons in our arsenal, while advisers including State Secretary Rex Tillerson were looking at doing the opposite.

It was even reported on MSNBC that the president asked a foreign policy expert why we even had nuclear weapons if we didn’t use them.

He’s not a smart man. He doesn’t show intellectual curiosity.

He’s never cared about anyone but himself, even since his years in New York City as a real estate ~~fraud~~ tycoon.

And now as his mind continues its decline, he’s saddled with literally the potential to cause extreme suffering whenever the whim strikes.

Knowing how frail his mind is and how he’s never cared about anyone else, it’s no wonder people thought that he would pull the trigger on an entire country and possibly unleash a third world war.

Couple that with Pete Kegseth, the secretary of war crimes, saying we were undertaking a “holy war,” and we’ve got the road company of “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” playing on CNN.

Precious bodily fluids, anyone?

Yeah, there was gallows humor going around on Tuesday.

Someone posted that maybe they’ll wait a few days to file their taxes. One person even said that she was not going to be cooking with olive oil, but was breaking out the real butter to make dinner.

Jokes aside, I don’t know what this says about the future with a person in charge who has no restraints now and will have fewer and fewer as the days go by.

There’s is, unfortunately, no reason to hope Congress will step up to the plate.

Out of 214 Democrats in the House of Representatives, as of Tuesday only 70 have said the president should be removed by the Cabinet using the 25th Amendment or Congress should impeach and convict him or both.

Only 70. Democrats. Only 70. Fer chrissakes.

How many times will we find ourselves on the brink of armageddon under this mad man? How many times will we be terrorized by this convicted felon?

Once was more than enough.

So much winning, yes?

Medical Expert Says Felon ‘Exhibiting All the Signs of Dementia’

By Michael Woyton

I will admit that it is getting harder to live in a reality where it is so apparent that the president of the United States is clearly ill.

Even to someone who is not medically trained it is obvious something is seriously wrong with president donald j. felon*.

Who threatens to obliterate an entire country at 5:03 a.m. on Easter Sunday in an expletive-laden social media post?

FREE: Subscribe to On Second Thought now:

Shortly after that post was picked up by media outlets, Dr. Vin Gupta, MS NOW’s senior medical analyst, posted his own medical opinion that the president is exhibiting all the signs of dementia, NJ.com reported.

Gupta wrote that the president was erratic, that he can’t finish sentence and is often confused.

The doctor said he has difficulties finding correct words and has an illogical train of thought.

He said the president was “worsening gradually over time.”

Of course, the Democratic side of the aisle criticized the president’s post.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the president was “ranting like an unhinged madman on social media” by threatening possible war crimes and alienating allies,” The Guardian reported.

“This is who he is, but this is not who we are,” Schumer said. “Our country deserves so much better.”

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, said on social media that if he were in the Cabinet, he would spend Easter asking constitutional lawyers about the 25th amendment.

“This is completely, utterly unhinged,” he said. “He’s already killed thousands. He’s going to kill thousands more.”

However, surprisingly, former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to say that everyone in his administration should “beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.”

She then said, “I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.”

Whether you think the elderly golfer seriously ill from dementia or just insane, I think most rational people would prefer that he be relieved of his duties.

And it would be wise to remember that he further threatened Iran in a way that can easily be assumed to be catastrophic and could lead to dire consequences here at home.

This is not someone who should have control of weapons of mass destruction.

‘Nobody’s Ever Seen Anything Like It’: Felon

By Michael Woyton

A prime-time speech by president donald j. felon* Wednesday night didn’t disappoint.

It was everything most of us expected.

He lied some and then lied some more, mispronouncing words along the way, like the word “battlefield,” saying “batterfield.”

FREE: Subscribe to On Second Thought now:

The orange grifter even said “We want to god bless” the Artemis II astronauts who are on their way to slingshot their way around the moon.

Once you get past the slow ambling to the podium, the verbal flubs and the low-energy, halting reading of the teleprompter — if Biden had said “batterfield” that would have been a week-long story in the mainstream media — there were the usual boasts and lies that we’ve come to expect from the adjudicated rapist.

Everything he sets his dementia-riddled mind to do is the bestest, biggest, most amazingest thing ever.

Each missile strike was something that no one’s ever seen before.

He mentioned his appearances at the dignified transfer ceremonies for service members killed in the illegal war and didn’t hesitate to lie that every one of grieving families begged him to finish the job in Iran, even saying that the families said, “Please, sir.”

However, he didn’t mention that he used a photo from one of the ceremonies in a fundraising email, offering donors “private national security briefings.”

The Associated Press chose not to call what the elderly golfer said was lies, preferring to say he “mischaracterized core elements of the U.S. economy and stretched the facts” about toppling the Iranian government.

He said the United States was “a dead and crippled country” because of the Biden administration, and now the U.S. is “the hottest country anywhere in the world by far, with no inflation.”

Have you seen the price of gas lately? Obviously, the country-club owner hasn’t.

The AP points out that in 2024, which was Biden’s last year in office, the economy was “far from weak,” with a gross domestic product that grew 2.8 percent, more than Trump’s 2.1 percent.

The president also once again trotted out the lie that President Barack Obama gave Iran $1.7 billion in cash. While the U.S. Treasury did the country around that amount, it was not a gift.

Rather it was money owed to the Iranians since the 1970s when military equipment was paid for but never delivered and was part of the deal to restrain the country’s nuclear development, which trump* tore up, which led to Iran starting their nuclear development program, rinse and repeat.

There is more that the president lied about, including “record-setting investments” coming to America, being totally independent of Middle East oil and Iran killing 45,000 protesters — lies.

What the speech did, the Los Angeles Times said, was little to make U.S. allies and world financial markets feel better about disruptions to the global oil supply.

The stock market dropped when it opened Thursday and crude oil prices jumped more than 10 percent to more that $110 a barrel.

The president said it was up to other countries who receive oil through the Strait of Hormuz to open it back up.

“They must cherish it. They must grab it and cherish it,” he said, as if he were referring to the Epstein files.

What he didn’t make clear was why the war is still ongoing when, as he said over and over, Iran was decimated.

His vagueness and unwillingness to stick to the same rationale isn’t going over well with the public.

And it’s showing in his poll numbers.

— — — — —

Ding Dong, the witch is dead.

Attorney General Pam Blondi is outta here.

Couldn’t of happened to a nicer person, doncha think?

The wannabe king, of course, used his social media to make the announcement, saying she “did a tremendous job” and “will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”

Bwhahahahaha.

Hey, Pam, get a lawyer that you trust. The Epstein files are not going away just because you finally got shitcanned by the mango Mussolini.

Felon’s Approval Numbers Appropriately in Dumpster

By Michael Woyton

“The fact that Trump’s proposals are unpopular even with his base underscores just how unpopular these measures are.”

That quote, which was included in a press release from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, jumped out at me as I read the results of a poll by UMass on the sinking approval ratings for president donald j. felon*.

The national poll that was conducted by YouGov was a survey of 1,000 people taken between March 20 and March 25.

FREE: Subscribe to On Second Thought now:

While I’m sure that within the walls of the White House and the Orange Motel-a-Lago it is being called fake news, it shows that the grifter-in-chief’s greatest hits are becoming more and more unpopular.

Overall, the poll said that the president’s approval rating has fallen to 33 percent, which is the lowest rating of his second term in office, with 62 percent of respondents disapproving.

More telling, the adjudicated rapist’s 33 percent approval rating is down five points from July and 11 from April.

Those poll numbers were called “brutal” by Jesse Rhodes, professor of political science at UMass Amherst and co-director of the poll.

The reason for the high disapproval rating, Rhodes said, is because “Americans grade Trump harshly on the most prominent issues facing the country, especially on bread-and-butter economic issues.”

He said 71 percent thought the president is not handling inflation well and 61 percent said he’s not handling the issue of jobs well.

Tariffs, which were supposed to be one of the elderly golfer’s signature issues, has become a public relations disaster, Rhodes said, with almost two out of three Americans giving him a negative grade.

“When it comes to public opinion,” he said, “economic concerns usually dominate, and Americans’ harshly negative views of Trump’s economic leadership are a major cause of his declining poll numbers.”

But wait it gets worse, for the donald.

The issues that he campaigned on — inflation, jobs and immigration — all show seriously slippage from April of last year.

The poll’s respondents disapproved of the president’s handling of inflation by 71 percent, down from 62 percent in April.

For jobs, he’s down to 61 percent now from 53 percent in April.

The con-artist-in-chief hammered away on immigration during the campaign but he’s obviously not handling the reality of immigration well — or at least Stephen Miller isn’t.

The UMass poll found that only 35 percent of Americans thought the issue of immigration was being handled well. Sixty percent disapproved.

Those numbers show him seriously underwater now, while in April, 50 percent approved and 46 percent did not.

Tatishe Nteta, UMass Amherst’s provost professor of political science and director of the poll, called the reversal in approval of immigration policy “dramatic.”

“In the face of these poll results, Trump may have to reconsider his campaign promise to conduct the ‘largest deportation program in American history’ or risk alienating a public increasingly weary of his harsh solutions to the problem of undocumented immigration.”

And what about the illegal war against Iran for which the president neither sought approval from Congress, the public or our allies nor even explained his rationale?

Nearly two-thirds — or 63 percent — of Americans said the president is handling Iran poorly, including 52 percent who said he’s not handling it well at all.

That certainly appears to create a weak foundation for any attempt to escalate the war, according to Raymond La Raja, UMass Amherst political science director and co-director of the poll.

He said the views are sharply polarized, with staunch MAGA supporters firmly in the president’s corner.

“[B]ut that support drops sharply among other Trump voters,” La Raja said, “revealing a clear divide within the Republican coalition,” suggesting potential cracks beneath the surface.

Complete poll results and methodology can be found through this link. The margin of error for the poll is ±3.5 percent.

As bad as the numbers in this poll appear, they certainly seem to jibe with the estimated turnout of 8 million for the nationwide No Kings rallies Saturday.

One can only wonder if there will be some “potential cracks” showing up with those in Congress on the right who can actually interpret public sentiment and might actually fear for their future prospects in office.

The golfer-in-chief isn’t going to be around forever.

Voting by Mail Irony Loss on Convicted Felon

By Michael Woyton

While continuing to push the Senate to pass the unconstitutional and ironically named SAVE Act, president donald j. felon* did something contrary to what he believes.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — or SAVE Act — or SAVE America Act, as it is sometimes known — was passed by the House of Representatives and is now being considered by the Senate.

The bill, depending on who is describing it, will ensure that only United States citizens vote in elections, even though evidence that noncitizens are voting is extremely rare.

FREE: Subscribe to On Second Thought now:

Authors of the bills have included the requirement that “documentary” evidence of citizenship would be necessary in order to register to vote, and such proof would have to be submitted in person.

Documentary evidence, according to the bill, includes a passport, birth certificate, military IDs in combination with record of service, certain tribal IDs and a few others, the League of Women Voters said.

However, one in 10 eligible U.S. voters don’t have any of those documents readily available.

Also, many married women, naturalized citizens, transgender persons, people in minority communities and elderly voters don’t have adequate documentation to prove citizenship, the League said, which is one of the reasons it opposes the SAVE Act.

The act would also make voting by mail significantly more difficult by requiring voters to provide a photocopy of their ID both when applying for and submitting an absentee mail ballot, the National Conference of State Legislatures said, which most states do not currently require.

The grifter-in-chief, whose official residence is in Palm Beach County, Florida, where his motel/country club is located, has long been against mail-in voting.

He has inferred that voters should show up on Election Day to cast their ballots — with a few exceptions such as illness, disability, travel or serving in the military, the New York Times said.

As we know because taxpayers are financing his travel, the wannabe dictator is frequently in Florida at his partying spot and actually spent the last two weekends there, the New York Times said, state of war be damned

Coincidentally, there is a special election being held in Florida today — Tuesday, March 24 — for two House seats and a state Senate seat. Early voting for the election began March 14 and ended March 22.

The polling site where the convicted felon could have easily voted is within a 15-minute drive of his legal residence and his golf club.

But no. He chose to vote by mail.

Or as he would say, he used “mail-in cheating” to cast his ballot.

I’m sure the adjudicated rapist doesn’t see the irony in this, because he lives in his own demented world where only he is right no matter what he does or says.

What’s good for the orange goose is certainly not good for the rest of us.

— — — — —

Just a reminder that there are more than 3,000 No Kings protest rallies across the U.S. planned for Saturday, March 28.

Organizers are hoping this will be the biggest turnout yet.

Felon Has ‘Free Ticket to Inhumanity’

By Michael Woyton

Shortly before 7:30 a.m. Monday, the current occupant of the Oval Office posted on social media that the United States had been for two days in “productive conversations” with Iran regarding the illegal, unsanctioned war, and hostilities on the part of the U.S. will cease for five days.

It really is a shame that anything coming from the administration of president donald j. felon* has to first be considered a lie.

Iranian state media reported Monday morning that officials in the regime “deny any talks” with anyone in the grifter-in-chief’s administration and claimed that any pause in attacks by the U.S. were due to Iran’s threat to target West Asia power plants.

FREE: Subscribe to On Second Thought now:

It really is a shame that anything coming from the Iranian government has to first be considered more credible than anything coming from our government.

What’s also a shame is that the stock market remains gullible to anything that comes out of the mouth of the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

According to CNBC, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 1,000 Monday morning after the wannabe king issued his “productive talks” message.

I’m sure a lot of well-placed people made a lot of money Monday morning. I’m not one of them; are you?

Even crude oil prices dropped in the wake of the orange authoritarian’s lie.

The Dow is only around 46,500, which is no where near the 50,000 mark that Attorney General Pam Blondie citied as a reason to forget about releasing more of the Epstein files.

A comment on the internet over the weekend rang true to me: The human body was not built to know what the most despicable person in the world is doing every 15 minutes.

And President Despicable continued to prove that there is no bottom to how low he can go.

On Saturday, it was reported the former head of the FBI Robert Mueller died.

It didn’t take long for the infant-in-chief to post, “Good, I’m glad he’s dead” and that he can no longer hurt innocent people. [NARRATOR: The felon is not innocent.]

Not too long ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated and anyone who didn’t sing Kirk’s praises enough was called deranged and sick.

Well, thank you president felon* for giving us all a template for our social media posts when a certain announcement of a certain someone’s shuffling off his mortal coil is made.

Map showing locations of planned No Kings protests for March 28. *(screen grab from NoKings.org)*

Organizers of the upcoming No Kings protests said that their biggest turnout yet will be on March 28.

More than 3,000 rallies have been planned across the country as of this date.

Last June, there were 2,100 events scheduled that resulted in 5 million people taking to the streets, the organizers said. Then 7 million people attended more than 2,700 events in October.

“The March mobilization is the next step in this growing movement, with organizers anticipating it will be one of the largest single-day nonviolent nationwide protests in U.S. history,” officials said.
