Well, this whole ticket thingy will change when the Trump Center launches it's month-long residency of Alexis Wilkins, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Lee Greenwood, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West (via phone), Carrie Underwood and Lady A. Man, the doors will be busted! Tickets will start at $9,999 for the entire series. Parking $50 per hour, no refunds, no rain checks, no weapons, no outside food. Platinum sponsor: Trump Media...

This comment from 2016 doesn't count--Pete was drunk at the time...

Uh, hold on there, Baba Louie. Do the math. That's $250 per person. Assuming an 11% return (roughly the long term return on the S&P 500) that comes to $1,635.89 after 18 years. That's about a credit hour at some directional school college, or one class in a community college. Helpful? Yes. Very helpful, and a big impact on some young person's life? Nopenopenope...

Mark your calendars for the day in the near future where this witch will announce that beside running for Governor, she will also run for re-election to her House seat. Why, well, because, yes, and then some. Elise will mutter something about the betterment of New Yorkers and those in her district, hoping the members of the press and public get distracted by some shiny object and stop their line of questioning...

Um-news flash to ICE Barbie: you and your gang of creepy thugs could close the borrowers to ALL entry, and folks will continue to get shot in the streets for no reason. If only there were some way that Homeland Security, law enforcement and HHS could team up to, oh, say, make firearms (the #1 killer of children) less available. Give that some thought and get back to your fellow citizens on it...

Funny, these women do not look like murderers, rapists and drug kingpins to me. I guess it takes all kinds to do crimes. And while married to our nation's finest, too...

There is no way that Admiral Bradley is going to fall on his sword for a drunkard. He will clearly state to Congress that he was following orders (not a good excuse, BTW). The the investigating committees will face the choice of NOT having Hegseth testify, or NOT searing him in for his testimony, OR having him lie under oath. This matter will end badly either for a decorated admiral, or for a drunken cabinet member.

PS to Congressmen and Senators reading this port: Ask Drinky Pete the nature of the meetings he attended, and who he met with, rather than hang around while a military operation was underway. Hijinks will then ensue...

While I don't disagree about the reason that some of these reports will not be issued (the workers who collect the data were not in place, so that data cannot now be collected retrospectively), it's a one-time excuse that cannot be applied again. The lack of data collection and reporting does get in the way of the Fed acting on short term interest rates in their next meeting, so it seems quite reasonable that the FOMC does not change interest rates this month. Jay Powell and some others on the committee do not like to act when they are missing data which otherwise helps guide in decision making.

Trump has frozen the Fed for a month, perhaps to the short-term detriment of the US economy. Real smart, MRI boy...

GOP politicians running for election or re-election in 2026 will be hiding their MAGA hats and ducking and diving when in the same room as both Der Dotard and a camera. The commercials will write themselves: "(insert MAGA functionary name here) is a great friend of Donald Trump. He brought you higher healthcare costs, war criminals, Americans deported lawlessly, and so much more! If you want more, vote for him/her. If you're sick of how this country is going to Hell, vote for me--I'll stop it."

Rinse and repeat, state after state...

This lady must wake up every morning scarcely believing that she has risen so high on such little in accomplishments. She is like Trump, constantly failing upward. At this rate, she will be seated on the SCOTUS by the end of the coming year...

There are many Americans who voted for higher healthcare costs, some knowing it and many not. Those people need to understand the direct connection between their votes and the calamity on their doorsteps. Most do not, and few of them will believe they are at fault...

I'll wager Drinky Pete thinks that such documents will protect him in cases of the commission of war crimes. NDA documents will do so, because those in the military will spill, one way or another, on the illegal orders which resulted in the killing of people who should have been rescued, held, questions, and if need be, charged.

If Hegsteh's actions, as reported, are proven, this could result in the President of the United States issuing a pardon to a war criminal. Let that sink in, voters, MAGA folks and GOPers in general...

This nonsense will stop if either/or
-Bovino is in jailed for contempt, some pound me in the --- federal prison, or
-Bovinos lawyers are jailed for allowing his client to be a toad

If the first, this nazi cosplayer will shape up quickly. If the second he will get to defend himself in the future, no lawyer willing to take him as a client

The conference will feature
-$2,500 per night room rates, five night minimum
-no discount on food and beverage charges
-in season greens fees
-daily resort fee of $250 per person
-pool casita rental of $250 per hour, three hour minimum and two hour use limit
-record low attendance

Lots of US troops are currently stationed in Red States. Many of those states have lots of loyal veterans. The funerals for fallen US soldiers will be fun pageants the first few times, then will get old fast. A few weeks in, the anger will rise. Mark your calendars for, oh, mid-January ...

I hear ICE is hiring. Rural failures do well in that organization, many are saying ...

Give the Z Man the arms he wants and the free reign he needs and Vlad will come to the table prontodente ...

I see no problem with people disparaging family members. Suck it up, Senator ...
-Sen. Rafael Cruz

I guess they don't need those anti terror folks since Der Dotard won the war on terror. He said so recently ...

The DOJ and Gomer Comer's committee are outing dozens of Epstein victims, in hopes of those same victims asking that the documents not be released. And upon the very first such request, the releases will stop. Forever. Of course, the actual request is that names be redacted--as promised--and that the documents then be released. But something is about to be lost in translation, from English to the guttural barking that is the language of those in the MAGAverse...

Oh, she was drunk, so it was OK to have acted that way. Got it...

Off the fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat will waddle to the SCOTUS, in hopes of a spot on their docket, declaring that an immediate hearing of this case will prevent a national calamity of unseen proportions, worse than any event in recorded history. When will those justices tire of the bleating the monster they created? Sooner, but probably later...

Hey, MAGA-hat folk who are getting their healthcare cut, or re-priced to unaffordable levels: what the hell was your orange god doing in those four years between jobs? Didn't he have time to come up with a super-de-duper healthcare plan for the US? And all those toadies surrounding him must have had some ideas to offer, if only he had asked them. Why are we here now, staring into the abyss? Many MAGA folk declare that 'there is more work to be done' in their justification for voting for this despot--wasn't healthcare part of that work? Anyone? Anyone? Vance?

Well, that would be nice, but the Z-Man will be disappointed, because Der Dotard will be helping serve dinner to the troops, in some far-flung location. Right? Right? Right, anyone?

I guess Z can talk to Trump while they play golf 3-4 times this weekend, in Palm Beach...

Well, that's it. All elections are hereby cancelled, from Dog Catcher to President. All present office holders will remain in their positions until death, at which time their oldest male offspring will take the job...
