Rundown 

As expected, Trump enacted several tariffs last week, causing markets at home and abroad to tank as the trade wars with Canada etc. intensify.  

Spineless Dem in chief John Fetterman voted in lockstep with republicans on the continuing resolution to avoid a government shut. Said CR contained massive cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and the VA. It also ceded he power of the purse to Trump. 

Another of Musk’s Space X rockets exploded, flooding the air with debris and forcing planes to divert their flight path. Musk’s DOGE boys gained access to the Veterans’ Administration’s systems, but they’ve yet to wreak havoc on it as it uses an old operating system they have no experience with.  

Small miracles, right? 

Measles continues to spread while our incompetent Head of HHS pushes bogus claims that Vitamin A can prevent the disease. Likewise, the Trump administration is playing catch up on Bird Flu after hastily firing and then rehiring experts on the virus. 

The administration announced a five-point plan for dealing with the virus, claiming it would lower the cost of eggs. However, experts say this isn’t true. 

Regarding the cost of eggs and groceries not coming down like Trump said they would if he were elected, Trump reposted an article by Charlie Kirk that said, “People should shut up about egg prices.” 

Trump also gave the first State of Union Address of his second term, and it was a tsunami of lies.  

Only Rep. Al Green of Alabama had the spine to call out Trump’s lies, until the sergeant-at-arms removed him.  

And what did the rest of the spineless Dems do? They sat there saying nothing, timidly flashing little signs with “lie” on them. Be for fucking real.  

If they had an ounce of courage, they would have left in mass in solidarity with Green. Cowards, the whole lot of them.   

If this is the best the Democratic Party can muster in the face of Trump, in the face of fascism, we’re cooked. 

Which leads me to this week’s topic. 

I’m Done with Spineless Dems 

Nancy Pelosi and the democratic establishment have made it clear they lack the will and spine to bring the fight to Trump and MAGA. And rather than step aside so folks like Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Stacy Abrams, Maxwell Frost, and Pete Buttigieg can take the reins, they’ve clung to power well past their expiration date. Nothing will change while the same old heads are in office, so from here on out I will only be supporting progressive candidates who have fight in them. 

And if I’m being honest, I think we need to form a progressive third party since democratic leadership has been drifting rightward for years and now is republican-lite. So no more donating to any democratic candidate, PAC or organization unless they’re pushing progressive causes and bringing the fight to Trump.  

And you should too.  

Republicans are running scared, refusing to have town halls because their constitutes are ripping them new assholes for selling them out. 

Meanwhile, the only time I hear from Dems is when they want money. It’s the only thing these pigs seem to care about, so let’s starve them. They have gotten too comfortable and have forgotten they work for us.  

Do something substantial instead of performative bullshit, maybe I’ll kick in a few bucks. But maintaining the status quo isn’t going to cut it. We the people need Dems to grow spines and fight, damn it!  

Till next week, stay safe and don’t let the tangerine tyrant grind ya down.
