The Republicult™ On Parade

Reading this article got me thinking:

NIH chops support for some medical research costs

Is there any R&D money in the NIH budget for future spinal column replacement surgery? I mean, given the critical shortage of functional spines among the Disloyal Opposition Party's kleptocracy, that alone should be reason enough to declare a national medical emergency. (I am, of course, referring to their party's numerous, spineless, opportunistic, elected officials.)

Now, I know lumbar disk replacement is already a thing, but what about the future availability of completely artificial spinal columns for surgical implantation? I write this because I don't believe enough suitable spinal columns for transplants can be obtained from human donor cadavers to ever fulfill the actual need. Therefore, there should be R&D money put into cloning spinal columns, and 3D printing spinal columns as well.

I guess I'm just going to have to send another round of emails to my two (2) Disloyal Opposition Party elected officials in congress, to bring this specific issue to their attention. And, I think I'm going to rather enjoy writing these particular emails.

To me, this guy is a poser of no importance to anyone but himself. But, he did make me smile this afternoon when I read this:

Kid Rock cuts Nashville performance short, storms off stage after audience won't clap

So, maybe his next appearance will be with that other has-been,Ted Nugent. That professional asshole's "bankability" is so low he's probably not even be on the D List anymore. After all, he didn't perform at the TSS's 2025 inauguration festivities.

Anyway, as an added bonus, the article made me smile a second time in remembrance of the 15 minutes of fame I had almost secured back in the day, when I told family and friends I occasionally had lunch with one of Bon Jovi's uncles. In truth, my fame didn't even last an entire 15 minutes after I told them, "No, I'm not going to impose on the guy by asking him to get his nephew's autograph for you." And, such I learned is the fleeting nature of fame.

The transgender community said that the right was using them as a lever, before moving onto others.
This week we see RFK talking about lists for autistic people, and that things like adhd didn't exist when he was a kid.
It starts by vilifying the disabled party, then it moves on to talking about how much of a burden on society they are, then it's camps.

They are already in the process of normalising the kidnapping and forceful removal of citizens of their own country, so at this current pace I'd say you have less than a year before we are at planned extermination.

Getting a little overly dramatic, aren't we?

Once the Wall Street oligarchs tell our fascist regime's leaders that an actual Euthanasia Program would be bad for business, that will be the end of it.

Hopefully. I can't see any other reason for thr party desiring to "register" people on the autistic spectrum then to be able to target them directly.

We sorta skipped the middle bit and went straight for the camps.

Not for the disabled.  Yet.

It literally happened! Yesterday, on Saturday, June 14th, The Republicult™ actually went on parade bigly! The Turd Reich, in honor of its dictator wannabe, staged their version of a Moscow Victory Day Parade in Washington, D.C.

Unfortunately for a fascist regime that produces reality TV performances for its adoring, shit-eating MAGAt followers, this show appears to have been a ratings bust. Now, the official TV rating numbers aren't in yet, but the video footage clearly shows near empty bleachers along the parade route. And, I haven't seen any estimates of the parade crowd size above 10,000 people.

In conclusion, I don't foresee the Turd-in-chief being awarded an Emmy for this reality TV show either.

I guarantee you the attendance numbers didn't matter and most of the event was contracted to trump family subsidiaries at a premium cost.

Given the turd-in-chief is an entity of classless, bottomless greed, I don't doubt the First Crime Family made every effort to monetize their reality TV performance.

On a couple of the short video clips of the parade that I bothered to watch, I was surprised to learn that the appearance of the U.S. Army was sponsored by Coinbase, and Palantir. It had never occurred to me that the U.S. Army needed corporate sponsors to show up for photo ops. You can not make up stuff like this.

I am just amazed at how thoroughly Trump ruined the army's 250th birthday.

I shouldn't be, but I am.

Interesting note:  The soldiers were not impressed.  They were out of step, for chrissakes.  My drill sergeant would have unscrewed my neckpipe and shat down it if I had marched to the chow hall like that at the end of week one.

That has to be deliberate.

I've encountered two narratives:  Either they were intentionally out of step, as a volitional expression of disrespect (i.e., Foxtrot Delta Tango), or they were pissed that they had to spend their weekend doing this, and were just really half-assing it.

I consider the first explanation more likely.  Anyway, it seems that der Fuhrer has not earned the loyalty of the Wehrmacht, which may be important if he attempts to override the results of the mid-term elections (if any).

As of the time of this posting, the turd-in-chief has not called Governor Walz of Minnesota to offer his condolences after the politically motivated shootings of two Democratic politicians and their wives, one couple of which did not survive their attacks. Further, when the MSM has asked the turd about any communications he may have had with Governor Walz, the piece of shit responded with political insults.

The English language simply does not contain words strong enough to describe my disgust with the turd, and the shit-eating MAGAts who adore him. I can no longer look at a video, or a picture of that piece of shit, and see anything even remotely resembling a human being.

I know myself and quite a few others were able to register for tickets and then simply not show up, among friends we were able to block out about 50 seats for everyone from Ben Dover to Homme Orange
