Let's hope that replacements needing confirmation are held up in the Senate.

Exactly. There better not be one Dem who votes with MAGA.

Or … can’t he say Walz’s replacement is “temporary” NSA thereby avoiding confirmation?

I hope the price of Voodoo dolls doesn't go up - because I am ordering one with an orange face, diapers and a comb-over!

Unsuccessfully avoiding the label of “Donny Two Dolls,” Trump fires a fall guy for Signalgate.

AHA Trump, AKA the Grinch, struck early this year. That means buy now before it hits the shelves and hope that in what 6 1/2 months it still will be acceptable to your loved little ones. He is so horrid it is unspeakable. What bothers me so much is when you hear him speak he talks as if he is perfect and all is ok and there will be some disturbances but don't worry I know about them. ARE YOU SERIOUS - I wouldn't trust you walking up my driveway!!

How long until Trump starts hawking Russian nesting dolls from the White House? After all, Trump didn’t impose any tariffs on his “Mother Russia”!

I'd like to know which company has started to build a toy manufacturing plant that will be up and running before Christmas! What a bunch of evil bastards!

Blaming the Dems for something the Rs do is not erroneous, it’s intentional. Say it first and say it loud gets the win. Dems and their “high road” seems to have lead to hypoxia.

Trump brushed off the looming cost of his latest tariffs on Chinese goods with a shrug and a sneer:

“Oh, the shelves are going to be empty. Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30.”

Spoken like a man whose children never had to settle for anything less than gilded excess.

The Trump spawn didn’t build empires—they inherited a con, polished it with entitlement, and weaponized it under cover of politics. They got rich off nepotism, grift, and the malignant halo of their father’s name—selling influence to the highest bidder, laundering legitimacy through hollow job titles, and cashing in on every loophole corrupt lawyers and cowardly regulators would let slide. They hawked ghostwritten books and empty brands, posed as business geniuses while suckling from daddy’s trust funds, and peddled access like carnival barkers in $10,000 suits.

And now, under Trump’s second term, the grift is no longer covert—it’s government policy. Taxpayer dollars are shoveled straight into Trump-owned properties, where Don Jr. and Eric skim the cream off inflated Secret Service invoices and bloated federal “event” budgets. Ivanka, cloaked in faux diplomacy, floats through shadow negotiations and White House kickbacks, still tethered to Jared’s Saudi billions. Together, they bankroll private clubs that double as pay-to-play pipelines, charge six-figure “membership fees” for proximity to power, and quietly collect from every government-funded banquet, summit, or golf outing that happens to land—surprise!—at a Trump venue.

This isn’t a family business. It’s a dynastic racket. A gold-plated parasite latched to the neck of American democracy. And every dollar they rake in now is soaked in the blood of our institutions.

When businesses can only sell " 2 dolls instead of 30" then Republicans will start complaining louder

Don’t you just love that “WE” might have to hurt for a while, but in the end WE’ll be fine? Makes me so mad at the Trumpy Tommy Tuppervilles and other Republicans who are saying that. They will all be just fine with their self-awarded health insurance, padded retirement accounts.

I’m not sure that the analogy works, but as Tonto would say - “What do you mean ‘we’, Paleface?”

Mike Waltz stepped down, but right into another post? I thought it was confusing. Are Waltz and Lil Marco switching jobs?
