I would normally say that is fucking unbelievable, but sadly, it is very believable. The Onion is going to be out of business soon. ---

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#): > > white house plans to dismantle NCAR the National Center for Atmospheric Research which is CRAZY But it’s exactly the kind thing this administration does. Get rid of all those woke climate researchers who support the Chinese hoax global warming. I’m surprised they didn’t dismantle the National Renewable Energy Lab. Instead they just renamed it the National Laboratory of the Rockies. Well, they probably also shut down some of the research there, but that hasn’t made the news. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Venezuela nationalized its oil industry in 1976. Dipshit wants to start a war on the basis of something that happened during the Ford administration. It’s a lot simpler. He just wants to take the oil. Venezuala has the largest oil reserves in the world and he wants them. He’s seen how Saudi royalty live and he wants that. He had a chat to his mentor Vlad who said the best strategy for taking stuff is to find some paper thin basis for claiming what you want to take was taken from you and you are merely taking it back. ---

Whatever the fuck Trump is doing tomorrow, I hope the Democrats show up and either get picked off and kicked out by the Sgt. at Arms. I do not want to see one paddle. I want to see every fucking Democrat standing together on the Capitol Steps. I hope SCOTUS - who I proclaimed WRAITHS of TRUMP - do not show up yet of course they will, I want him removed by whatever amendment applies and by Coup d’etat if needed. Tomorrow that fucker will pronounce himself King and the left side of Congress will stand and applaud. None of the Dems should be left (unless this counts as ‘in session’ and let’s not allow the thugs to pass all kinds of crazy laws) ---

> “Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had – they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn’t watching. But they’re not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back.” Donny? They were not our, as in the United States, land and oil rights since at that time the United States did not own any oil companies. Or to put it in historical terms “I’m a hired gun for the United Fruit Company” as Smedley Butler once, pretty much, said. Saddle up me boys, the Banana Wars are going hot again. ---

BBC likely, saying he’d be talking to the nation tonight. Somehow I thought he’d be doing another address to congress. Everything he is saying sounds terrific. He just announced his next election. Nothing about snakes in Peru. Turkey’s were down 33%. The good things are getting better, The Biden stuff is gone. He’s throwing out numbers - I’m thinking 20 per minute. Cocaine can be useful. Snopse or whomever can fact-check whatever. He is the Greatest President Ever and whom Ever shall be. ---

To his credit, he ranted directly into the camera. The teleprompter screens have gotten better. +%20+ this, -40% that, $400 million more here, the world likes the USA or by this time next year will like the USA. All good things. People here may care about false / debated / true, yet to the world that was a kickass performance. This is how it’s going to be. And I will make it even better. ---

I have a Xitter account, though nobody follows me and so nothing I say matters at all. But I had to post this: > @realDonaldTrumprealDonaldTrump: I’ve read the Bible, and it is so full of WOKE BS you would not believe it! You must sign an executive order to BAN THE BIBLE IMMEDIATELY to protect REAL AMERICANS from WOKE INDOCTRINATION! 😆 I amuse me. Anyway… What was Mr. Potato Head’s ‘big announcement’ today? ---

The Networks showed their shows, right? This was on Fox/MSNBC/CNN and we can see here C-SPAN. I watched it on youtube, yet this guy was saying the right stuff in a very convincing way to his people. And to the world: Mess with the USA at your peril. I’ve not seen a President, certainly not him, look into the camera throw good stats and how he improved Biden’s stats before. If his stats were accurate or not (I lost him at 8 wars stopped, then Turkey’s down by 33%), yet the “We are the most powerful nation in the world” will not be taken lightly, as by almost any metric, that is true. Yet I’ve not seen him state, “This is how it’s going to be,” so convincingly before., ---

That last year everything was the worst it’s ever been in history and now everything is the greatest it’s ever been in history and it’s all because of him.
