Hey Congress (Senate & House), it’s time to do your job. Remove the stale TACO now! Click on the “86 47” image & read to more.

Hey Congress, the King of England gave a speech yesterday. You gave him a standing ovation when he told you the importance of the legislative branch(YOU!!!) to perform checks and balances over the Executive branch. So when are you going to remove that stale demented TACO in the WH? Perhaps when Hell freezes over or the Golden Ballroom becomes the ultimate destination for all you hell bound sycophant Trumpian worshipers. 👿

For all those following the Alex Pretti killing by the 6 ICE agent,here is a current Wikipedia posting. Also I posted 2 still frame photos from one of the videos showing these 6 ICE “Thugs” before and after they murdered Alex. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...

This fame from the video just seconds before the the ICE agents needlessly repeated shooting Alex Pretti to dealth.

This frame from the video shows the 6 ICE thugs standing up and away from their victim lying dead or dying on the street with two or more pointing and perhaps shooting their hand guns at their victim; I heard 11 distinctive shots fired in this video.

Everything convicted felon Piggy-Peto-Prick POTUS said in that speech was a lie even though I played it back from a podcast in double-time to made it bearable to listen to the pathological liar. I down grade the felon’s self-score from: A+ + + + to: F- - - - -

Lies keep tumbling out of the convicted felon’s mouth every-time he speaks.

The current MAGA Congress & the corrupt DOJ most certainly will never investigate this and the numerous unconstitutional crimes of Trump administration. “We the People…” must vote out all the MAGA Congress to save our Democracy. actionnetwork.org/forms/invest...

For YEARS, activists and human rights groups have questioned and challenged U.S. military aid to the Egyptian government, which looks like up to $1.3 BILLION in “foreign military financing” each year.

Someone should have turned the funding stream off at multiple opportunities — and we may now know one reason it wasn’t, at least during the Trump years: In 2015, Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi allegedly gave the then-candidate’s presidential campaign a $10 million boost.

Explosive Washington Post reporting has uncovered a multi-year FBI investigation that found $10 million in cash leaving a state-run Egyptian bank around the same time Donald Trump suddenly loaned his campaign $10 million.

We're left with 10 million questions. However, we don’t have the answers because Attorney General Bill Barr, one of Trump’s key political appointees, quashed the investigation before it could come to a conclusion.

The idea that Trump may have engaged in a pay-for-play scheme is only the latest in a long list of potential crimes, conflicts of interest, misdeeds, and negligence in U.S. foreign policy -- and nothing will change if we sit on the sidelines. That’s why we’re demanding answers now.

Building a world where U.S. foreign policy isn’t up for the highest bidder is critical, and the first step is accountability. That requires House and Senate Oversight to investigate this matter immediately.

Our nation is rapidly declining toward a dystopian/cacotopian society controlled by a corrupt authoritarian with anti-democratic ideology of fascism. Before we lose our freedom to vote, “We the People…” can restore our Democracy by removing all the current Congress in power.

Dystopian Societies
* Oppression and Control: Dystopian societies often feature a powerful, controlling elite that manipulates or oppresses the population, limiting freedoms and forcing compliance.
* Loss of Individuality: Personal freedoms and individual identity are frequently sacrificed for the sake of order or the goals of the ruling power.
* Social Decay: Dystopian worlds can be depicted with a decaying environment, social fragmentation, or an erosion of trust and compassion among citizens.
* Technological Misuse: Technology, instead of improving life, can be used for pervasive surveillance and control, further stripping away autonomy.

Cacotopian Societies
* Extreme Moral Corruption: The hallmark of a cacotopia is a society where goodness and morality are nearly absent, replaced by pervasive evil and cruelty.
* Focus on Suffering: The defining characteristic is a society marked by great suffering, where suffering and injustice are normalized.
* Nightmarish Elements: Unlike a typical dystopia, a cacotopia's elements are more explicitly nightmarish, with leaders focused solely on maintaining power and abandoning all principles of compassion.
* Survival as the Goal: In a cacotopian setting, the primary objective for inhabitants becomes mere survival, often at the expense of their fellow humans.

How They Relate
* A Spectrum of Bad: A dystopia describes a bad society, while a cacotopia describes the worst possible bad society.
* Emphasis on Different Aspects: Dystopia focuses on flawed systems and the suppression of freedom, while cacotopia highlights the utter lack of morality and the prevalence of evil and suffering.

The Sun's corona is its outermost atmosphere, a region of extremely hot, diffuse plasma that extends far into space. It's typically not visible from Earth due to the Sun's intense brightness, but it can be seen during total solar eclipses as a pearly white crown surrounding the Sun. The corona is also the source of the solar wind, a stream of charged particles that flows throughout the solar system.

A quote found in the movie:
“…rise like lions after slumber in unvanquishable
number…” *

*In Shelley's poem “The Masque of Anarchy” the image of lions rising after slumber is used to inspire the oppressed to awaken from their slumber of complacency and rise up against injustice. The phrase "in unvanquishable number" emphasizes the idea that when many people unite, they become unstoppable.

Yes, I read about this recent discovery in a scientific journal; not at all like the elusive “Nessie” sightings. Believe it’s scientific name is: Pedophiletrumptosaurus. 😵‍💫 Wow! A real mouthful of a name. 😳 What do they eat?🤔

PEDOPHILETRUMPTOSAURUS has also been sighted at the White House, Mar-a-Lago, Florida and countless sightings as it prowls around numerous golf resorts in the USA & Scotland. In years past there were numerous documented sightings/visitations at the late Jeffrey Epstein’s properties.

OLFACTORY MEMORIES PAST & PRESENT… ZOO SMELLS...😳 vs TRUMP SMELLS…😵‍💫

*The word “STINK” in reference to Trump and all his cohorts on his WH Cabinet, most Republican Congress members and six of nine Supreme Court Justices, perhaps may not physically smell bad, but, all mentally & morally “STINK” for gross falure to their oath of office to uphold the rule of law and are flagrantly violating the Constitution. This vile stench is overwhelmingly obvious given their cowardly & shameless lying behavior, their lack of ethics to themselves and their constituents who voted them into office. All of them “STINK” for allowing the pathological liar, lawless convicted felon POTUS Trump to continue in office.

* Sarah Huckabee Sanders: She was the third woman and the first mother to hold the position.
* Stephanie Grisham: Notably, she did not hold any press briefings during her tenure.

RED ALERT! Convicted Felon Trump again is trying to clear his slate of the Jan 6 insurrection criminalities. Donald Trump calls for special prosecutor to investigate his false 2020 election claims Read in USA TODAY: apple.news/AlOqc1-t1RoG... bsky.app/profile/halo...

Donald Trump calls for special prosecutor to investigate his false 2020 election claims

ZAC ANDERSON AND LAUREN VILLAGRAN, USA TODAY

12:59 pm EDT Jun. 20, 2025

President Donald Trump is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, continuing to press an issue that resulted in an attack on the U.S. Capitol and his impeachment, but remains a central preoccupation.
"Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed," Trump wrote on social media June 20.

Trump's efforts to challenge his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden failed in court. Independent reviews and leading members of his own administration dismissed his fraud claim.

Yet Trump persisted, pressuring Congress to try and overturn the election results in a campaign that culminated on Jan. 6, 2021 when a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Trump later was impeached and indicted by a grand jury for his actions in the election aftermath, but the Senate acquitted him on the impeachment charge and Special Counsel Jack Smith requested to dismiss the Jan. 6 charges against Trump after he won, which a judge approved.

Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 people charged with crimes related to Jan. 6 on his first day back in office.

😂 HILARIOUSLY FUNNY! 🤣 GO Bernie! GO! Is “Trumpty Dumpty,” “wide-as-a-barn-door” convicted felon “TACO MAN” “POTUS Bone Spurs” Wannabe Dictator “KINGCOMPOOP” saluting at the “bored” marching troops or his “audience-of-one” in the stands? 😘🤣😜 bsky.app/profile/halo...

In the above photo, the foreground of POTUS 47 Trump “wide-as-a-barn-door” is authentic. The background with Senator Bernie Sanders sitting in the stands, is doubtful; he would not waste his time attending the wannabe dictator Trump’s outrageously expensive and pathetic vanity birthday & army parade. The actual audience attendance to this event paled miserably in comparison to the massive millions of people protesting peacefully for the “NO KINGS DAY” protests in every state.

I believe POTUS 47 created another fake photo like this but dressed-up like the POPE.

Notice above the distinguished “TACO” badge for lack of courage to admit all his lies and lawlessness in violating the Constitution of the U.S.A. before as 45 and now as 47.

“We the People…” will continue our peaceful protests against the corrupt and disgraceful Trump/Vance administration.

PARADES FOR ALL OCCASIONS (Please read this interesting & informative article by Brandon Friedman found embedded in total below the photos [ALT]. 🙂 PEACEFUL PROTESTING TO ALL 😄

When I was in seventh grade, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Iraq’s tiny, oil-rich neighbor. In response, the U.S. assembled a coalition of 42 countries to eject his army with military force.
Looking back, the success of Operation Desert Storm may have seemed inevitable. But at the time, to most Americans, the Gulf War was anything but a foregone conclusion. In fact, early 1991 was a white-knuckle period for a country still traumatized and reeling from the Vietnam War. That perception was only heightened living with a mother whose cousin had been killed at Long Khanh in 1969.
What that day in Shreveport taught me was that there is a time and place for military parades and displays of martial power.
I had a front row seat to all the buildup, as my family lived in Shreveport, Louisiana, just across the Red River from Barksdale Air Force Base and the 2ndBomb Wing. Every week, if not every day, I watched B-52s on the horizon as pilots practiced touch-and-go landings. I know I wasn’t the only person in Shreveport that winter suddenly filled with a mixture of pride and apprehensiveness. At the time, the U.S. hadn’t used its military like this since the evacuation of Saigon. Not only had it been largely untested for nearly 20 years, but the all-volunteer force had never been mobilized on this scale. There was this fear — almost a complex — that any major war we attempted would end up the same.

Of course, the fears were unfounded. Saddam’s military fled Kuwait in a matter of weeks and President George W. Bush wisely chose not to press the effort by toppling the Iraqi government. Instead, tens of thousands of U.S. troops returned home that spring and summer to cheering crowds. There was a national sigh of relief.
In Shreveport, my entire middle school flooded outside the morning the bombers returned. We’d been told they would fly directly over the city. And sure enough, they did. Low and slow, B-52 after B-52 cruised over the center of town. …

…Now, 34 years after the Gulf War, America is holding another military parade. Only this time, instead of serving a purpose founded in genuine love of country, built on a celebration of communal sacrifice, we’re faced with a president hosting tanks and planes for a martial display that, officially, is to mark the Army’s birthday, but just so happens to fall on his birthday too.
It’s unclear where this country goes from here, but U.S. political and military leaders need to make a choice.
President Trump’s military parade is, of course, troubling for its similarity to those that often take place in other countries like North Korea or Russia. In rare cases, such France’s Bastille Day parade, they are something of a celebration of democracy. But far more frequently, they are shows of force and expressions of belligerence. It’s arguable that they’re signs of deep-seated insecurity on the part of weak autocrats who demand them. What is inarguable is that an endless parade of tanks and missiles is often the calling card of fascists. …

…And that’s where we now find ourselves. This use of the U.S. military is horrifying for a specific reason. It’s not simply because he’s showing off the hardware. It’s horrifying because the parade serves as a mirror, reflecting where we are as a nation.
The worst possibilities we could infer from Saturday’s unwarranted, Kremlin-style parade are now flying low and slow in the parade of headlines across our news feeds.
To counter peaceful protests, the Trump administration has federalized thousands of California National Guard troops in opposition to the governor— something that hasn’t been done in 60 years. On Thursday, a U.S. district judge deemed the federalization “illegal” and returned control of the guardsmen to the state, though an appeals court temporarily halted the order after the Trump administration appealed. …

…Earlier in the week, Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Congress, “We’re entering another phase ... where the National Guard and Reserves become a critical component of how we secure that homeland.”
Taking it still further, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Thursday, “We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.” When Sen. Alex Padilla rose to question that antidemocratic view, Secret Service agents forcibly removed him from the room.
It’s unclear where this country goes from here, but U.S. political and military leaders need to make a choice, and they need to make it now. Are we going to slip further into authoritarianism, where laws are imposed by fiat and enforced with military might, or will we fight with everything we have for the republic?
