    Great story of the only Senate Democrat to celebrate Independence Day in 2025:

    U.S. Senator John Fetterman
    @SenFettermanPA

    Last week, Gallup polled only 36% of Democrats are “extremely or very proud” to be American.

    In the greatest country in the world, that’s just wrong.

    I’m unapologetically grateful for our nation and the American Way of Life—today, and always.

    Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

    And lots of liberal tears.

    Trump signs his agenda bill, with a flyover and fireworks to mark the occasion

    He’s turned the traditional July 4 picnic into a celebration of the country’s independence and of his win in Congress, seizing upon the day’s fanfare to salute the most decisive legislative victory of his second term. The festivities included a bomber jet flyover – a nod to the military’s recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities – and will feature a fireworks show on the National Mall later.

    “We made promises, and it’s really promises made, promises kept, and we’ve kept them. There’s a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy, and I have to say that the people are happy,” Trump said on the balcony of the South Lawn alongside first lady Melania Trump.

    So. much. fucking. winning.

    “The greatest country in the world” fought a civil war to keep slavery, waged genocide against Native Americans, tolerated a century of terrorism against black people, and elected Trump twice.

    Yes, despite all that, America is great in some ways. But the GOP isn’t one of them, and you’re not either.

    4)The country that used to build to last. I was in Portland Saturday, partly to catch Portland’s First MAX trains in action one last time, as retirement is imminent (potentially by the end of next week) after 40 years, what a waste.(San Francisco has historic streetcars 3 decades older in regular service), but it was the train cars filling in on Amtrak Cascades 503 that were a sign of when things were built to last.

    After the Horizon coaches that replaced the TALGOS were in turn pulled from service due to defects. Amtrak surged a couple 3-4 car sets of AMFLEET Coaches from the shop in Delaware. The Amfleets were adapted from the High Speed Metroliner EMU originally a project between the Feds and the Pennsylvania Railroad, making the basic design nearly 60 years old. The unpowered Amfleets Coaches were built between the mid 70s to early 80s. Rose pretty good for such an old coach, my main concern was Control Point 188.5 near DuPont.

    One of my obligatory stops in Portland is the Oregon Railroad Heritage Center. Haven’t been down there since 2019, and they only had the outline for the Turntable, but looks like it’s installed now. Don’t really need it for the logging steam engines that replaced Southern Pacific 4449 (locomotive that participated in the Bicentennial)on Holiday excursions, but they hope to have 4449 and SPS 700 running again someday. It’s lack of places to run that are the problem, BNSF is on again/off again, UP doesn’t host from foreign roads, even ones they now own, and Oregon Pacific’s right of way is in need of serious repair to lift weight restrictions.(Museum is acquiring it, plans to use the revenue from the one remaining customer and any others they attract, to fix it up).

    Saw a few of the remaining Type1 MAX care, but odds of catching one, pretty small 3-5 out of 81 LRVs in action on the Saturday schedule, but rode the replacements. Good design.

    Trump is warring against DEI because he believes in an all-white, inequitable, exclusionary America.

    In 2020 I said POS Hunter Biden would take down Joe Biden. He would have, too, if not for the silence of the FBI regarding the authenticity of the laptop contents, and the cover for the lies provided by the MSM, which told their own lies.

    Anyway, let us simply conclude that I was off by four years:

    How Hunter Biden Helped Derail His Father’s Re-Election
    Joe Biden’s debate against Donald Trump was supposed to prove the aging president’s stamina. But in the weeks leading up to it he was devastated—and distracted—by his son’s legal travails.

    Hunter found out the Democratic National Committee was paying President Biden’s legal fees arising from an investigation into his handling of classified documents, taken over by a special counsel, Robert Hur. Hunter asked why the DNC could not pay his too. Lawyers ultimately decided the president should not be involved in fundraising for Hunter, and the DNC could not justify picking up Hunter’s tab.

    This might have been the one correct decision made by the DNC since it decided to let itself be bought by #CrookedHillary in the runup to the 2015 primary season.

    And here’s POS Hunter weighing in on his POS father’s response to the SCOTUS decision on Donald Trump’s first term presidential immunity:

    Suddenly an unidentified voice piped up from Biden’s screen and recommended an Oval Office address. At first, some aides had no idea who was speaking. It soon became clear the voice belonged to Hunter Biden, who the White House staff had not known was on the call.

    White House Counsel Ed Siskel expressed some concern about Biden speaking from the Oval Office. Hunter snapped back: “This is one of the most consequential decisions the Supreme Court has ever made.” He said his father had every right to use the powerful imagery of the Oval Office to deliver that message. (They later settled on the Cross Hall, the long hallway on the first floor of the White House.) After the call ended, Siskel told colleagues Hunter’s presence was inappropriate.

    Here we have a convicted felon speaking on behalf of a cognitively incompetent president. Democrats lined up nearly lockstep behind this corruption as their 2024 message.

    The price Democrats will pay is not yet fully known, but it will clearly be staggering. The greatest price yet to be paid will be a 7-2 conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

    The winning continues.

  13. 13

    So. much. fucking. winning.

    History repeats.. This is a replay of kreepee dumbfuck through empty suit Bush’s first term and through the “re-erection” – a babbling butthole favorite bleat..

    Slowed down a bit after the failure of SS “reform” and Katrina..

    Ending in disaster with the Bush depression.. Not to mention all the billions pissed away in Iraq and Afghanistan. If nutjobs like kreepee dumbfuck had their fantasies fulfilled, the U.S. would still occupy BOTH debacles.

    yawwwn… The pants shitter era will play out even more disastrously. But kreepee dumbfuck can always comfort itself with its collection of Hunter dick pics.

  15. 15

    if not for the silence of the FBI regarding the authenticity of the laptop contents.. I was off by four years:

    lmao.. it blames farmer jim and gym jordan’s idiocy on the fbi and only makes itself, dumbfuck, look like an idiot.

    Sorry dumbfuck, even all the dick picks couldn’t help you.

    so.much.fucking.idiocy..

  16. 16

    @ 15

    … even all the dick picks couldn’t help you.

    You’re correct, Welfare Queen YLB.

    To take down that POS son of a corrupt president and begin the process to cause the Democrats to lose the White House and the Senate last year I had to rely on the illegally purchased firearm found in a dumpster way too close to a public school and the years of tax evasion that the FBI couldn’t cause to elapse via statute of limitations by sitting on the case.

    More’s the pity.

    Don’t say the Big Beautiful Bill doesn’t help you, libbies.

    None of you donate a dime to charity but all of you will now claim the standard non-itemizing $1k/$2k deduction for the money you don’t donate.

    And hey, Joe Biden can claim a dependent deduction for the bastard grandchild whose existence he does not acknowledge, so even POS Hunter’s dad comes out a winner.

    lmao@16

    what happened to the drip.. drip.. drip.. from farmer jim and gym jordan?

    don’t you remember your own babbling?

    they had the laptop amirite?? And rudes in the Ukraine – that fishing scam went great didn’t it?

    Made for great bullshit from John Solomon that you swallow even to this day.

    @12 “the authenticity of some of the laptop contents” ftfy

    The laptop is authentic, but not all of the contents are, making it a tainted crime scene and inadmissible in court. What else ya got?

  22. 22

    @16 I’m for prosecuting Democratic criminals, but unlike you and your ilk, I wouldn’t make exemptions for rioters who try to overthrow our government or other Republican criminals. You can’t have law and order for only one side. That’s not legitimate.

  23. 23

    @18 Oh look, the dumbfuck troll claims without evidence that liberals cheat on their taxes, when it’s an established fact that the leader of his party not only paid no taxes but also converted charity funds to personal use.

    The White House

    The Senate

    The House of Representatives

    6-3 SCOTUS majority

    A liberal SCOTUS justice who looks unhealthier by the day.

    16 months before midterm elections

    3.5 years before Vance’s first term commences.

    Electoral College revisions subsequent to the 2030 census before Vance’s second term commences.

    Lots of campaign promises kept.

    A shit-ton of momentum.

    The list is longer than this but I’m heading to the boat this afternoon. Happy Fourth weekend, everyone!

    Trump went golfing.

    3 1/2 more years of this, followed by two full terms of stuff JD Vance did instead of joining the Cajun Navy for a day in order to search for survivors.

    Had DJT47 done a flyover he would be criticized for distracting from the rescue effort.

    Cause meets effect.

    Texas initiates a “blue alert“ to alert citizens anytime a policeman is harmed in anyway or feels unsafe or needs some help from the public or perceives some danger from a menacing child with a toy garden or something like that. They are using the same system That Texas uses to alert for flash floods.

    October 24 CBS Texas runs a story on the thousands of FCC complaints. Texans are registering about the blue alerts.

    January 2025 a viral Reddit thread on the Texas sub Reddit suggests people are now turning off the channel completely rather than get the blue alerts along with flood warnings. predators suggest that some people may die because they are no longer getting these alerts.

    Clinic in District Trump Won by Over 50 Points Shuts Down Due to ‘Medicaid Cuts’
    Community Hospital in McCook, Nebraska, revealed that its Curtis Medical Center, serving a town of about 900 residents, will cease operations due to financial pressures from Republican’s Medicaid cuts.
    >> This is what those rural republicans voted for. I am waiting for their messages of gratitude to be allowed to give those tax cuts to the billionaires.

    Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin wrote a letter urging his state’s Democratic governor to take steps to protect rural Wisconsin hospitals from the fallout of Republicans’ widely reviled budget bill — which Van Orden voted for.
    “Please Democrats, save me from the consequences of my vote!”

  39. 39

    Love this suggestion

    Evers should require Orden to make a public appeal, on video, about why the Governor needs to save rural hospitals, and exactly what Orden voted for before he considers his request.

    And that video should be everywhere, on a loop.

    @38 Van Orden is the same piece of shit who bullied tired Senate pages, and …

    Following the 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators, … falsely linked the perpetrator to the anti-Trump No Kings protests, writing “Yesterday, a whole pack of election deniers got together and spewed hate. One of them decided to murder and attempt to murder some politicians that were not far Left enough for them.” Van Orden responded to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s statements mourning the shootings in posts calling Walz “stupid” and a “clown.” He replied to criticism of his comments from fellow Wisconsin representative Mark Pocan, telling Pocan “It is statistically impossible that you could be dumb enough to believe what you are writing.”

    I can’t find it online but I had a thread post that had a clip with OK Senator Langford regarding the BBB. He said that the legislation that congress tried to pass on immigration while at the end of Biden’s term was the same as what is in the BBullshitBill. Had it passed then it would have been implemented already and it would have kept 1,000,000 undocumented immigrants from entering in this country since the time of when they could have passed it.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:
    Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;
    Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;
    Cowardice: I’m scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with my GOP colleagues;
    Moral rot: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.

    Again for the benefit of braindead, moronic trolls like dumbfuck and liddle maxiwipe:

    “How the Busch clan lost control of an iconic American beer company. If ever an American company represented the land of milk and honey for corporate executives it was Anheuser-Busch . . . For decades a palace of well-paid vice presidents in cushy offices presided over the manufacture of Budweiser, America’s beer, in that most American of cities, St. Louis. ‘Few companies on earth were more evocative of America, with all of its history and iconography, than Anheuser-Busch,’ writes veteran Financial Times journalist Julie MacIntosh in her strenuously reported book, Dethroning the King: The Hostile Takeover of Anheuser-Busch, an American Icon. As the title suggests, the reign of the King of Beers ended in the summer of 2008, when the company merged with the Brazil-based brewing giant InBev, an outfit about as culturally different from Anheuser-Busch as one could imagine. At $70 a share, or $52 billion, it was the largest all-cash acquisition in history and even more noteworthy because it occurred during the gathering storm of a global financial collapse . . . When growth-hungry InBev arrives on the scene, a company so lean and cost-conscious that they’re called the Walmart of brewers, all hell breaks loose at the complacent Anheuser-Busch headquarters. The Brazilians make a pitch of $43 billion in what’s known on Wall Street as a “bear hug”—an offer so generous that the recipient can’t refuse. But A-B’s board does refuse, triggering weeks of moves and counter-moves and endless end-gaming by the two companies. Ms. MacIntosh relates every gambit in crisp, scene-by-scene detail.”

    @49. that’s great except for the 33,000 in the private sector who lost their jobs last month. Because of Republican policies that give tax breaks to the rich so they can get another yacht, the fired workers don’t have money to afford eggs.

    The numbers are screwy below the top line. The private sector number and the teachers number are probably each incorrect.

    “The Democrats onstage saw themselves as morally courageous. American voters, it turned out, saw a group of politicians hopelessly out of touch.”
    “Standing side by side at a primary debate in June 2019, nine of the party’s candidates for president were asked to raise their hand if they wanted to decriminalize illegal border crossings. Only one of them held still. Six years later, the party remains haunted by that tableau. It stands both as a vivid demonstration of a leftward policy shift on immigration that many prominent Democratic lawmakers and strategists now say they deeply regret, and as a marker of how sharply the country was moving in the other direction.”

    Everyone but Hickenlooper.

  63. 63

    I’d like to thank libbies for their lockstep support for a senile and incompetent president while this was happening:

    Representative Veronica Escobar of Texas said she first realized Democrats were in trouble in December 2022. So many migrants were crossing into El Paso that they were sleeping on pizza boxes as temperatures fell below freezing. A city known as a haven for immigrants since the 1800s was overwhelmed. Residents were losing patience, she recalled.

    Still, when she worked on bipartisan legislation to expedite asylum cases at the border, Ms. Escobar said, fellow Democrats criticized the proposal as too restrictive.

    “Living through what El Paso lived through, feeling how unsustainable all of this was, and frankly how challenging this was, I knew this would cause a massive shift in the perspective of Americans about immigration,” she said. “There was a failure on the part of the Democratic Party altogether during the last administration in adequately recognizing what was happening.”

    [Link @ 62]

    Oh, the recognition was there. It’s the acknowledgement that was withheld. People like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron were too stupid to recognize the problem, and that’s OK, because one can be stupid but innocent. But then there’s the grey zone – Welfare Queen YLB, who is partly stupid but insanely partisan to the point of dishonesty, which tips her the rest of the way into complete stupidity.

    And then there are the QoS McHillbilly types. They see what is happening, understand it for what it is, but then tell you that it’s raining while they’re pissing on you from above. Plain evil, they.

    Yes, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, that smell you can’t quite recall is the smell of urine. It’s the Democrat Party’s Golden Shower. You’re the urinal.

    All Americans are equal, but some are more equal than others.

    Welcome to “Animal Farm.”

  68. 68

    @52 There’s another point, too, which I’m sure you didn’t miss but instead choose to stay quiet about: Murkowski took a bribe to vote for a bill that hurts everyone else’s constituents.

    And the rest of the country will never view her in the same light again. She will always be remembered as a sellout, especially given that her vote would have defeated this awful, awful bill.

    @59 “Ask yourself why so many teachers joined the work force during the month of June. The numbers are screwy below the top line. The private sector number and the teachers number are probably each incorrect.”

    The numbers likely are broadly correct, but skewed. Business Insider explains,

    The gains in education and healthcare might be in part because schools were more hesitant to let folks go this summer, perhaps due to ongoing teacher labor shortages.

    “Probably what’s going on here is that there were smaller-than-expected summer layoffs in the education sector, which could be about teachers or it could also be about support staff, like school bus drivers or custodial staff,” Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor, said.

    If that is the case, Zhao said, “we might get an equivalently sized drop in the fall when schools reopen due to a smaller-than-expected hiring.” He added that the new data is likely a seasonal quirk, rather than a sustainable increase in roles.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/education-and-healthcare-boost-june-jobs-white-collar-jobs-struggle-2025-7?op=1

    And if that indeed is the case, then to get a fairer picture of the labor market, the June education hires probably shouldn’t be counted at all, which suggests the 63,500 education hires should be subtracted from the June total, leaving 83,500 hires vs. 111,000 projected. Note that construction added only 15,000 jobs, even though summer is the peak construction season, and manufacturing lost jobs. All of this points to an anemic, if not shrinking, economy.

    @60 “there are minimum population requirements to support hospitals in this country”

    How will liberals view Obama after another three years of the DJT47 retort to the disaster that was the Biden presidency?

    “There was a lot of overlap among aides to Obama and Biden, but to Biden loyalists, Obama was a prick. They thought he and his inner circle had constantly disrespected and mistreated Biden, despite his loyal service as vice president.”

    Dawsey, Pager and Arnsdorf add: “They felt vindicated when for the first time during Biden’s presidency, Obama publicly returned to the White House and began by saying ‘Thank you, Vice President Biden.’ Obama was quick to claim he was joking, but to Biden’s stalwarts it was merely the latest example of Obama’s arrogance.”

    What Welfare Queen YLB loves most about Obama is his penis. Prick bothers her not one bit.

    @73 Oh look! The dumbfuck troll is criticizing a Democratic president for allegedly mistreating his loyal colleague.

    Mike Johnson on Texas floods: “In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does … all we know to do at this moment is pray.”
    Christian camp of girls did pray. They were murdered by climate science deniers who said the only thing we can do is pray.

    The message of the republican party is “fuck you, you’re on your own.”

    Some folks have speculated Bondi’s relationships keep failing because she devotes all her time to her career. That won’t be a problem after she loses her lawyer license keeping Trump happy. Then she’ll have plenty of personal time.

    @78 “The message of the republican party is “fuck you, you’re on your own.”

    C’mon, you know that’s unfair. When bad shit happens to their own kind, they’re with them in spirit, and unflaggingly generous with their thoughts and prayers. The message isn’t “fuck you,” it’s “you should pray more.”

    The felon has said he wants to “phase out” the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

    Now the felon sends FEMA to help out his buddy Greg Abbott. and Texas.
    Maybe the felon is just going to end FEMA for Blue States.

    Reporter: Are you still planning to phase out FEMA?
    The felon: FEMA is something we can talk about later

    How hard is it to say, “This is a terrible tragedy?” Too hard for this Republican senator.

    In 1897, a federal judge in Washington state named Cornelius Hanford, for whom the town of Hanford was named, from which the name of the Hanford nuclear reservation is derived, explained why the federal supremacy clause generally bars state prosecution of federal agents under state laws in a case captioned In re Lewis, 83 F. 159, as follows:

    In deciding this case, I do not mean to say that the warrant which Mr. Kiefer issued was a lawful warrant, nor that the proceedings under it were proper proceedings. I do not mean to say that the petitioners were lawfully discharging their official duties in what they did. In my opinion, the warrant itself was improvidently and erroneously issued, and the proceedings were all ill-advised and conducted with bad judgment. But where an officer, from excess of zeal or misinformation, or lack of good judgment in the performance of what he conceives to be his duties as an officer, in fact transcends his authority, and invades the rights of individuals, he is answerable to the government or power under whose appointment he is acting, and may also lay himself liable to answer to a private individual who is injured or oppressed by his action; yet where there is no criminal intent on his part he does not become liable to answer to the criminal process of a different government. With our complex system of government, state and national, we would be in an intolerable condition if the state could put in force its criminal laws to discipline United States officers for the manner in which they discharge their duties. Or, take it the other way, if the government of the United States should prosecute as criminals sheriffs and other ministerial officers, justices of the peace, and judges of superior courts for errors of judgment, or ignorance, causing blunders in the discharge of their duties, it would bring on a condition of chaos in a short time.
    Id. at 160.

    What’s interesting about this is the “taking it the other way part,” where he suggests the same principles behind barring states from prosecuting federal agents carrying out official duties should also bar federal authorities from prosecuting state judges for errors of judgment or blunders in discharging their judicial duties. Right there, in print, you’re reading the rationale for throwing out the Trump administration’s charges against Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan, even if it’s found that her efforts to protect the integrity of her courtroom technically violated a federal law or interfered with immigration enforcement. Of course, the continuing viability of an 1897 precedent is somewhat speculative, and even if the principle and reasoning is still considered sound, I can’t predict beyond Thomas and Alito what the partisan Supreme Court majority would do with this.

    Trump lackey Kevin Hassett says “the best way for people to get health insurance is to get a job.”

    https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/5386814-hasset-healthcare-coverage-cuts/

    This math whiz, who predicted U.S. Covid-19 deaths would drop to zero by May 15, 2020, apparently doesn’t know 64% of Medicaid recipients already have a job and don’t have health insurance because their employers don’t provide it and don’t pay high enough wages to afford it. Another 21% are either disabled or caregivers. Only 15% are unemployed or in school.

    A Robotaxi was in an accident within the first 48 hours of the failed launch in Austin. And the paid influencer “passenger” agreed to cover it up initially to help Tesla’s plummeting reputation and spare Elmo’s tender feelings.

    And then there are the QoS McHillbilly types. They see what is happening,

    They saw Eric Cantor, the Republican House Majority Leader and presumptive next Speaker lose his very next primary because he supported practical reforms to Ronald Reagan’s IRCA.

    When the Nazi Fucktard pretends that Democrats have ever been in the driver’s seat on immigration policy, even once, in the last forty years he’s lying again. Fat Hitler (but really Steve Bannon) saw what every other Republican including the Nazi Fucktard refused to admit. That Republicans own our failed immigration system.

    Remember the Idaho school district that banned “Everyone Is Welcome Here” posters? Well, the Idaho legislature looked into it, and now “Everyone is welcome here” is banned from the entire fucking state.

    https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/idaho-republicans-ban-poster-classroom-rcna216773

    It’s well known that Idaho attracts Nazis, Aryans, and white supremacists. The welcome mat’s still out for them. Now they’re letting the world know no one else is. Idaho: Beautiful state, ugly people.

    Kerr County official: No flood warning system because such systems are expensive, and local residents are resistant to new spending. “Taxpayers won’t pay for it.”
    Witness the utter failure of Republican leadership at local, state and federal levels.
    Still, It’s what the side with the most votes wanted. I personally have lost the will to try to protect them from themselves.

    County that voted 55% for Trump has to cancel plans to reopen their hospital after Medicaid cuts
    It’s what the side with the most votes wanted, I don’t understand the locals are being ungrateful.

    Officials feared floods would drown kids at river camps. A $50k siren study was rejected as ‘too extravagant.’ FEMA declined to fund a ~$1M warning system. Local plans died when Republican Texas state help covered just 5% of the cost. Now 80 dead — 28 children. ‘

    >> It’s what the side with the most votes wanted. They are responsible.

    So Bondi says there was no Eppie client list after babbling at one time it was sitting on her desk.

    Everyone is joking it went into the shredder after she saw orange pants shitter’s name on it.

    Is Bondi the most stomach turning pants shitter sicko-phant? I don’t think even Baldy Miller or Loomer comes close.

    @98 Texans know about flash flooding. They know where the flood zones are. They’ve been doing this for 200 years. The Native Americans have known it for 10,000 years.

    They didn’t have to spend a dime on warning systems. All they had to do is say, “You can’t put a kids’ camp there.”

    That was too much trouble.

  104. 104

    After the funerals are over, they’ve buried the counselors and campers, and the funerary flowers have wilted, they’ll grit their teeth and grin and say, “We’ll rebuild.” In the same place. It’s the Texas way. Shows how determined, persevering, and tough they are.
