Ego Man and The Sycophants

Ego Man and The Sycophants played in front of Congress Tuesday Night. The set included the Gulf Of America. Associated Press was barred for not humming along with the tune. We learned that only George Washington is held in higher esteem than Donald Trump.

The new tariff against Canada and Mexico was in full effect overnight, until the Emperor realized that it would hurt our own car industry. The White House sponsored DOGE fires and rehires has reduced productivity. Massive layoffs coming in the VA won't help our veterans. 

While Vance and Johnson looked like cats who swallowed canaries standing behind Trump during the show, the politicians who want a political future beyond 2028, will have to keep their parachutes packed.

  1. I was never more proud to be a Democrat.

    1. I'm sure many of my regular readers think that I have also joined the D tribe, but I haven't. These recents posts reflect my opinion as a disappointed independent. While I applaud the border enforcement, the Musk DOGE is a disaster. Chainsaws and sledgehammers are not precise tools. The Measles outbreak is an unfortunate coincidental statement on the theatrical cabinet appointments. If it was Trump's first term, I'd hope that he'd grow into the office, but it's not.

  2. It's funny that you double, triple or quadruple down on stupid the day after Trump delivered an overwhelmingly popular speech.

    I understand that you didn't vote for him and the fact that he was elected must rankle you to no end. But according to CNN and CBS (hardly conservative bastions in the press), 69% and 76% support what Trump said in the speech.

    We've now been treated to over a week of your irrational bashing of Trump and his supporters. I don't remember Dementia Joe getting similar treatment here. Heck, you haven't even authored a post about the behavior of Congressional democrats at Tuesday's speech. These are quite surprising omissions from a supposed "conservative independent".

    Instead of constantly insulting his supporters as "sycophants", maybe you should take a look in the mirror and consider that it might be you who has the problem.

    Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a terrible thing, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

    1. anon@5:46: I preferred him to Harris, just not enough to vote for him. Most people, which certainly includes you, don't really understand real independents. You might assume that we are actually D's or R's, but choose to remain anonymous, like you do when posting on blogs. I must confess that I am proud of my non-vote.

  3. Trump iI so far is a mixed bag of good and bad. It will take some time for all this to shake itself out. His foreign relations does not seem to reflect how to make friends and influence people. It is more like his temper at the moment is how he directs his policies.

    Removing the illegal ailens brought in by biden to change the dynamics of the electorate to favor the Democrats so far has the approval of most non-Democrats; it shows that the democrats are like pack animals who follow their leader and show little individual initiative. New York City mayor Adams who is now being threatened with removal from office as he wants to get rid of the illegals who are bankrupting his city

    Many Americans see Musk as exposing the waste and fraud from the Federal Government, and the bureaucrats who never really had to experience what it is like in the private sector are now learning what the word "layoff" means and are panicing. How that will affect how the government delievers its necessary services is an open question. Doing more with less is another new concept to the Federal bureaucracy.

    The 2026 Congressional elections will be the decider if MAGA is successful or not.

    1. anon@5:46: I think that MAGA had an underestimated Cult factor. With Trump not on the ticket in 2026, I think that the turnout will be typical midterm, which won't bode well for the Republicans.
