Let me go in a straight line here about the Floridian husband of Venezuelan ICE detainee Vianes (?) Ramirez: On Monday I wrote an article headlined “Please, man – let’s work something out, let me keep my wife here” about the unnamed Miami, Florida man’s cries for an audience with convicted felon President Trump. In it I speculated that, given his choice of words, the man very, very likely voted for the fat fuck. One would think a Harris voter – or even a guy who didn’t vote at all – would be absolutely disconsolate and furious over losing their partner to the whims of a white nationalist tyrant. Instead he sounded far more like he has been betrayed by a personal friend he trusted.

As some of you may have noticed, I link a lot of stories from Yahoo and AOL News’s feeds from national and local outlets – the two sites are a great resource for collating stories from all over the place and load fast as they’re typically free of extraneous bullshit and autoplay videos. Which is why I was unaware that the man’s quotes that I had copied and pasted from the AOL repost of CBS Miami’s article had been captured in the above video until more than a day after I printed the story.

Trump FCC Reichsminister Brendan Carr on Friday ordered CBS to hand over the transcript and footage from former Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview with 60 Minutes, the Los Angeles Times reports. Guess Paramount isn’t settling their $10 billion “election interference” lawsuit convicted felon President Trump filed against them fast enough. Keep in mind Trump was too chickenshit to do this interview, plus the CNN town hall, plus a second debate, the fat pussy avoiding all possible contact with non-MAGA media in that last month a big ingredient to his win.

Keeping with the promised “surgical” retaliation against US tariffs on Canadian exports, former Finance Minister and candidate for the Premiership Chrystia Freeland tells the Canadian Press that Mapleland should target Teslas and American alcohol at 100 percent as part of its tariff retaliation package when convicted felon President Trump’s levies go into effect on Saturday.

Freeland also said she wants to be sure Wisconsin dairy farmers feel the pain as well.

Asked how he’s supposed to square his campaign promises of lowering prices with raising them by imposing tariffs on a whole shit ton of products they buy every day, convicted felon President Trump on Friday told a reporter that “Tariffs don’t cause inflation. Tariffs cause success. There could some temporary short term disruption. And people understand that,” almost as if he didn’t just win pretty much solely because enough people did not, in fact, understand that inflation was not Joe Biden’s fault. And now he’s going to raise prices on them deliberately by 10 and 25 percent.

Walking heart attack West Virginia Senator Jim Justice, who may or may not live to the end of his current term, tells Axios that people are overreacting to the coming consequences for convicted felon President Trump’s imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, saying “Everybody runs through the streets saying, ‘The sky is falling! The sky is falling!’ but it doesn’t fall.”

“Well yeah, no shit the sky isn’t going to fall, you sooty fuck, so how about you explain why Americans should be cool with paying 10 percent more on toys, electronics, batteries, clothes, furniture, and a whole bunch of other shit as well as 25 percent more on everything that comes from Canada and Mexico?” the Axios reporter probably did not say. The response was likely much closer to “Ahaha! Good one Senator, we’ll print that! Here, I got you a Danish. It’s cherry with a lot of that sticky sugary stuff drizzled on, just as you like it. Thank you so much for the quote!”

“The purge is bigger than first understood, we are told, and includes more than 20 heads of FBI field offices, including the ones in Miami and Washington, DC,” tweeted NBC News’s Ken Dillanian on Friday following up a previous report on top FBI leaders promoted by now-former Director Chris Wray being ordered to resign/retire or face demotion and reassignment to the parking garage.

Oh and nobody cares if you don’t get the headline. You should watch Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith instead of complaining that it’s so inscrutable and weird for a story about an FBI purge.

Federal prosecutors based at the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville have withdrawn from a legal dispute over evidence seized in an August 2024 FBI raid on MAGA Congressman Andy Ogles’s home and office, in what WTVF reports is a strong indicator that the shitbag’s dead-end effort to allow his Orange Allah to run for a third term has paid off and the second Trump Reich’s Justice Department will drop the investigation into some scam where Ogles loaned his campaign $320,000 of money that he didn’t have in an apparent attempt to look stronger in his 2022 primary.

Pretty fucked up to say the least and in a way considerably more fucked up even than pardoning all of the Capitol rioters. At least a lot of those pieces of shit still had to go through the wringer. It’s also not like saying “Can you imagine if Joe Biden did this before Gold Bars Bob Menendez went on trial?” is going to give any pause to Trump’s ballsucking cultists, but it’s still impossible to ignore.

Of course the equivocation is going to be that Biden pardoned Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, and so on before he left office to help them escape “justice” but the rejoinder to that is Trump should just pardon Ogles if he wants him to avoid getting prosecuted. At least bring it to that level.

Crushed with grief over the loss of his son in the horrific collision with a commercial jetliner over the Potomac on Wednesday night, Georgia man Gary O’Hara tells CBS News that any attempt to blame the crash on “DEI” is only adding to his family’s grief, adding that no one in the Army lands a spot on a Blackhawk without being qualified. “You have to earn your spot to be moved into the ladder to be put into that helicopter. They don’t just give it to you. You earn it,” O’Hara said just two days after the death of his son Ryan, crew chief of the Blackhawk that collided with American Eagle Flight 5342.

“And you know, all of those soldiers that protect us, they earn their stripes every single day,” adding that the scene of the recovery was “very touching,” seeing “the other soldiers saluting as they take him out with a draped flag over it, but to sit there and think that that’s my little boy – it’s crushing.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 200 points immediately after White House Press Secretary Karoline “Blondi” Leavitt confirmed to reporters that starting Saturday the Trump Regime will indeed be imposing a 25 percent tariff on all important from Mexico and Canada as well as a 10 percent tariff on everything coming from China, CNBC reports on something something Soros.

You heard it ladies and gents, Saturday is tariff day! Mexico and Canada is 25 percent tariffs, China is only 10 percent because Trump is so tough on the commies! MAGA! Winning!

“When you’re flying with your loved ones, do you pray that your airplane lands safely and gets you to your destination or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer,” Leavitt also told reporters in response to a question about the new DEI shitshow.

“Pursuant to its authority under 5 USC § 1103(a)(1) and (a)(5), the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is providing the following initial guidance to agencies regarding the President’s Executive Order entitled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government (Defending Women). Steps to End Federal Funding of Gender Ideology: In light of Defending Women, each agency should take prompt actions to end all agency programs that use taxpayer money to promote or reflect gender ideology as defined in Section 2(f) of Defending Women. Specifically, agency heads should take the following steps: 1. No later than 5:00 pm EST on Friday, January 31, 2025 [blah blah blah] Review agency email systems such as Outlook and turn off features that prompt users for their pronouns,” says a memo from the Office of Personnel Management. Only a few hours left until the pronounpocalypse.

When does Trump issue the executive order capping credit card rates at 10 percent?

Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing on Thursday told reporters that programs designed to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace are an “integral” part of the Russian money laundering operation’s strategy going forward and they don’t plan on caving to right wing activists constantly freaking the fuck out over it like so many other companies have, Bloomberg reports.

“We are now firmly behind this program,” Sewing said in Frankfurt, adding he and his team “can see how Deutsche Bank has benefited from it. I know what diversity has brought us on the management board at the top reporting level. That’s why we are strong supporters of these programs.”

It’s not clear if convicted felon President Trump will boycott Deutsche Bank now or just stop making payments on his loans to protest Sewing’s enthusiastic embrace of woke DEI madness.

Cops in the Brittany region of Western France on Friday said they were investigating an act of vandalism on the tomb of Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the far-right National Front, just weeks after he died at the age of 96, the AP reports. The specifics of the vandalism were not made public.

Rodent-faced disarray-monger Chuck Todd has officially left NBC, Axios reports on the end of everything being devastating for Democrats. Can’t wait to not listen to his podcast.

“Transport Workers United Local 100 Interim President John V Chiarello announced today that TWU Local 100 would match the reward offered by NYPD Crime Stoppers for information leading to the apprehension of the six unidentified men who took a R Train on a joyride last weekend. The Union will pay up to $3,500 for the information, matching the Crime Stoppers reward. Images of the six men on platforms and entering the transit system were released today by Crime Stoppers.”

“The NYPD announcement noted that the six individuals ’caused damage to glass panels on the train,’ but this was the least of it, Mr Chiarello said. ‘A bunch of reckless teens took a $20 million piece of equipment out of a secure transit layup area, endangering themselves, transit property, and transit workers who may well have been working on the tracks,'” says a statement from TWU Local 100 chief John Chiarello on the hunt for the mischievous punks who broke into and stole not one but two R trains that had been parked overnight on tracks usually reserved for the N express train along 4th Ave in Brooklyn. Not for nothing but it seems like the $3,500 is the price TWU is willing to pay to avenge being made to look foolish and incompetent enough to allow a $20 million piece of equipment to be stolen by teenagers. Don’t these things have key ignitions in the operator cab?

Per the New York Daily News, the suspects posted video of the joyride on Instagram in which they can be seen passing at least one station and another train in service, with one saying “Check [the] radio now,” to see if they’d been noticed by the other train’s TWU member crew. They weren’t.

“Still photos released by police show at least one suspect jumping a turnstile” as they made their way to the parked trains, the News writes as if they expected the kids to use their MetroCards.

“This reminds me of all the places that named themselves after Biden and Kamala because they were so proud of their candidates” – Top comment on the Fox Business article “Trump Burger chain expanding in Texas, owner praises president as ‘gentleman that makes peace’,” posted Thursday.

BURN! Wow! What a freaking nuclear shade bomb that was! He’s so right that Democrat entrepreneur ever opened up a “Kamala Cafe” or “Biden Ice Creamery” out of “pride” for the former president and vice president. Could’ve even gone further with the absolute slam by positing that they would’ve closed down because of poor business but brevity is the soul of wit, you know.

Ughhhhhh, man, these freaking clowns. First off this jackass completely glossed over “Obama Fried Chicken,” although that was a more cynical and not a small amount racist “tribute” by its Bangladeshi immigrant proprietor. But to his larger “point,” the commenter might as well be saying “This reminds me of all the Harris voters that got killed attacking the US Capitol in an effort to stop Congress from certifying her defeat” or “This reminds me of all the $99 NFTs of Biden dressed like a cowboy that sold out in under 12 hours.” There are only so many goddamned ways to say that that their slavish, suicidal, often homoerotic devotion to Trump is not actually a flex and yet here it is once again.

“The Blackhawk helicopter was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200 foot limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday morning, apparently forgetting the disaster of the Potomac on Wednesday night was supposed to be the tragic consequences of the Biden and Obama Administration’s DEI policies and now simply focusing on the more widely accepted theory of pilot error on the part of the Army Blackhawk crew.

We *really* need to know who that helicopter pilot was and what they were saying in their social media posts https://t.co/PTIr2AM1JF

Some of his fanboys were working hard to overlap the two and make it possible some Facebook post could trickle up to make the Orange God Emperor right all along about “DEI” being a factor.

“AMERICA FIRST DRUG PRICES!!!” the fat fuck also posted, apparently forgetting that on day one last week he repealed a Biden executive order lowering prescription drug prices.

Flying deportees on military planes from El Paso, Texas to Guatemala costs the Trump Regime more than five times what a comparable first class seat on a commercial airliner does, Reuters reports.

According to data provided to Reuters by American and Guatemalan officials, the flights cost $4,675 per migrant, more than five times the $853 cost of a one-way first class ticket on American Airlines from El Paso. Even an ICE charter flight would be cheaper, but because the Orange God Emperor wants to make it sound more ominous and scary by using the words “military planes” to describe his still-not-really-that-impressive effort, American taxpayers are getting hosed badly.

Summarizing the state of play on the field in Washington, super “plugged-in” Politico whiz Zach Stanton writes in the Friday morning edition of the “Playbook” newsletter titled “Trump’s narrative shift” that “After week one, the Trump administration seemed a bit like a Colossus astride the world.”

“After week two, it seems altogether more fallible and subject to the same laws of gravity that apply to every government and political leader. Whether that sense lasts is anyone’s guess – so much can happen so quickly in politics, and it’s entirely possible that in a month’s time, we’ll look back on this week as an anomalous moment in what is otherwise a series of political victories for Trump…”

“But I’d be remiss if I didn’t share that I’ve seen a noticeable shift in my conversations with Democrats over the last couple days. Suddenly, there’s some faint whiff of the old Trump 1.0-era resistance magic in the air, and some (but definitely not all) [emphasis Santon’s] of the intraparty quarreling that has raged since the November election has been supplanted by a new determination to paper over those differences and take on Trump. And yet…” Stanton continued, using the ellipses to lead into a section about the “neck-and-neck race” for the Democratic National Committee chair.

Holy shit this goddamned newsletter is so monstrously aggravating. This son of a bitch just fucking outright admitted he was getting excited that the “resistance magic” was back, that the conflicts that fueled so many clicks for Politico and other MSM sites from 2017 to 2021 are firing on all cylinders once again, that these “Beltway pro” cocksuckers got what they wanted out of the 2024 election. That, rather than a relatively placid and boring Harris administration where Republicans would act even more unhinged than they were 2021 to 2025 but since that didn’t drive traffic for Politico like the anarchy of the first Trump Regime did, it’s “magic.” Un-fucking-believable.

A bill, making it a felony for an elected member of a city or other municipality council to vote in favor of any local measure to implement “sanctuary city” policies as well as empowering the state attorney general to remove that member from office – among other over-the-top MAGA bullshit – passed both the state House and Senate on Thursday, headed for the desk of Gov Billy Lee, WTVF reports.

Sanctuary cities are already banned under Tennessee state law, so if the city council of Memphis were to pass such a measure, it would be toothless. Yet, for whatever demented reason, the ULTRAMAGA Republicans in the state legislature want to criminalize even a “symbolic,” dead-end vote to codify refusing to lend local law enforcement assistance to federal immigration authorities.

That’s, uh, pretty undemocratic, fascistic, and unconstitutional on top of unnecessary. Also extremely unlikely to fly with the Supreme Court, even given the MAGAfied 6-3 bench we’re stuck with now. They might be Nazis but they aren’t stupid either. Allowing criminalization of the basest of democratic functions to stand would open the door to California or New York criminalizing Republican members of Congress from their states for voting against a national right to abortion.
