"A promise is a comfort to a fool."

 


There are some words that just scream bullshit. For example, the check is in the mail, I am just around the corner, or I promise I won't cheat on you with my ex.  Add anything Donald Trump says to that mix. Recently, at the Republican crazyfest in Dallas, the president promised every American a check for $5,000, IF and only IF, we vote in a Republican congress. This is the same guy, mind you, who promised us all a $2,000 dividend check from tariff proceeds, a $1,500 annual check from health care rebates, and a $5,000.00 dividend from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). My friends, if you are still waiting on on what Mr. Trump promised you that you would be receiving, I have a beautiful antique bell in Philly with a slight crack on the side that I would just love to sell to you.      

Expecting a con man to help himself from conning you is madness. But it worked for Mr. Trump before, so can you blame him for thinking we are all gullible? Remember the wall that Mexico was going to pay for? I do. And of course we all know that it never happened.  And a lot of you voted for him again in spite of the failed promises from his first term. 

The thing about this latest promise is that even Republicans are questioning it. It would add over a trillion dollars to an already debt-ridded nation's budget, and congress would have to approve that type of spending.  So far, that seems to be a pipe dream. This of course hasn't stopped the con man in chief from floating his offer to us, if he can just get our votes for his party. It sure seems like a bribe, but I understand that a case for bribery would be difficulty to make, as one could argue that he was just being a politician making a political promise to get elected. 

Still, you have to ask yourself, if he has the ability to give us all a check for $5,000, why not just give it to us now? Why wait? Republicans control both houses of congress, so where is my money Mr. President?    

The question was rhetorical.  I know a con when I hear it, and no one does a con better than Don.

Boy, she really picked the wrong dude to have an affair with. Apparently, a deranged maniac with a litigious wife.

The 9-11 attackers and their financial supporters were Saudi:

“Classified documents provided to Congress include an assessment by the U.S. intelligence community that Saudi Arabia has not ruled out the option of developing a nuclear weapons program,” the Washington Post reports.

“The sobering intelligence outlook has compounded concerns from some U.S. lawmakers about President Donald Trump‘s agreement to assist Saudi Arabia with establishing a civilian nuclear program, which they fear could enable the development of a nuclear weapon and spark an arms race in the volatile Middle East.”

Nancy Mace has a podcast now. Bizarrely, it’s called “Get Maced.”

On this podcast, she most recently appeared wearing a leather catsuit.

One Internet commenter responded: “When you order Scarlett Johansson from the Avengers on Temu.”

I believe this is what a nervous breakdown looks like.
