 "The pictures on tv are pretty bad." - Donnie F Trump on the Hamas/Israel war 7-31-25 

To refresh the narrative our first guest on "Meet The Press" was National Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett. He spouts out the Trump party line, as he is paired to do, but with the economy tanking it sounds weaker every day. Both Ford and General Motors announced last week that they both lost huge amounts of money last quarter, but Hassett says things are ding dong dandy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics head was fired last week because she released a less than scintillating jobs report. Trump said she was a partisan liar and from now on if he doesn't like the numbers he's going to cook the books and make himself look good. At what point in Trump's life has he ever looked good? Hassett said they lied to make Humpty Trumpty look bad and that will not happen again. Remember the great Kelly Anne Conway from the first Trump administration and her great phrase "alternative facts?" Get ready for a big box of that now every month. Inflation? What's that? "We can't be printing money and sending it to people." What does that even mean? Hassett always has this far away look like he's Kim Kardashian at a red carpet premiere. He has a strange grin that immediately gives him the creepy uncle look. Of course Kristen Welker did her usual weak as the cheaper paper plate interview and I wrote down a bunch of things that wilt in the light of reality. But it's okay because he's wealthy and his life is good. Let's hear Leslie Gore's " Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows." If you're a good person you'll get a cookie for dessert! 

Next was the California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla. The first thing I noticed was his hair. Do they still make Lucky Tiger Hair Wax? ICE is targeting the wrong people. I mean why go after potentially violent types when it's easier to round up farm workers and construction workers? Come on! The redistricting in Texas by Republican Governor Greg " Hot Wheels" Abbott is dangerous and undemocratic. But the same thing being threatened by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in California is cool. Different feet, different shoes. Firing the Labor Statistics boss is like breaking the thermometer if you don't like the temperature. I didn't feel very inspired if he's a voice of the loyal opposition.

Then they had their weekly commercial for the drug that cures your banana shaped penis. Let me just say ugh. The Sydney Sweeney ad for American Eagle jeans is supposed to have white supremacy undertones, but when a reporter told Tangerine Tits Sweeney liked him as President he said ooh la la. Young blonde with bodacious ta tas, Seems to fit the Mar-A-Lago stereotype.

The wretched Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to Club Fed minimum security prison in Texas. They have tennis courts. And just when is life fair? 

What do you think you are doing here?
How did you arrive?
Did you come up through the ocean floor
Or fall from the sky?
Did you come via the orient
On a steam boat built for you?
Did you think of all your friends behind
While you dance in Honolulu?
What it's doing to me.
I cannot follow you.
