[REPUBLICANS AGAINST MAGA @michaelt5656]

A draft dodger trying to steal a hero’s honor.

[Fara Kaufman @justfara]

Mess Attendant Second Class Doris “Dorie” Miller awoke at 6 am. His first duty was to collect the crew’s laundry from deep in the hold of his ship. Miller was a big man, a gentle giant standing 6 foot 4 inches tall and weighing over 200 pounds. Very few of his fellow sailors made fun of his first name. Nobody ever did it twice.
Miller had been at work for nearly two hours when a violent shudder hurled him against the steel bulkhead. The USS West Virginia was under attack.
It was December 7th, 1941.
Over the course of that distant and chaotic morning, Miller helped move his captain to safety, commandeered a deck mounted anti-aircraft machine gun and, by the reckoning of some crew members, shot down between four and six Japanese aircraft. He also helped move crew members to safety at great personal risk. Miller saved many lives that day.
In the reflective aftermath of battle, while the Navy counted their dead, they also counted their heroes. Mess Attendant Miller was recognised as one of America’s first heroes of World War II. They awarded him the Navy Cross and a promotion.
He should have received the Medal of Honour.
The Frigate USS Miller (FF-1091) was later named for him. The planned aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) is about to be.
Or is it?
CNN reports that three high-level sources inside the Trump orbit say that Trump wants that ship named for himself. Ominously, the ship’s name has recently been rebranded by its hull classification number CVN-81 only, and the name USS Miller has been scrubbed from the official record.
Of course that’s what Trump wants. Miller was a black man, and the draft-dodging, racist creep knows his bigoted base won’t begrudge him stealing the name of the new carrier from an African American for himself. As long as the hero it was named for wasn’t white.
I am tired of that child-raping, lying douchebag carving out stolen honours for himself. A White House ballroom for a man with no balls, an arch for an arch criminal, the Peace Prize for a piece of shit, the chiseller’s name chiselled into the Kennedy Centre — all that is bad enough.
But there is no place for a craven, whiny, tantrum-throwing man-child on the hull of an American aircraft carrier. None.
Nearly two years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Doris Miller died in battle defending his country. He was 24. He was buried with full honours. A granite marker was dedicated to his life and heroism in his hometown of Waco, Texas.
Draft-dodging Trump and the monsters who serve him have earned no such dedications, no statues, no official praise, nothing but contempt — and prison. One day history will assign them the villainy they deserve, and their names will, like the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, forever live in infamy.

@EdKrassen I agree. And why only ground beef? Where’s the roasts & steaks?

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Trump ran on 3 major promises:

1. Lower prices
2. No new wars
3. Cut the national debt.

1. Everything cost more today under Trump (gas, food)
2. We are at war with Iran
3. Debt at all time high: $40 trillion.

Imagine if the media actually just told this story.

Talk about mental & physical decline, Biden never fell asleep during meeting & he certainly isn’t obese. Trump has ALWAYS been accessible as he craves attention, good or bad. He can’t compose or express a coherent thought.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

In a statement, the White House praised Trump’s fitness and contrasted him with predecessor Joe Biden.

“President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, relentless work ethic and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and the legacy media intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people,” spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement.

“President Trump is the sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises.”

Love Welker’s direct hits & watching Scott twist himself into a pretzel. Taxes on tips & overtime only affect a small portion of us. The rest of us are suffering from the tariffs & Trump War. Stop lying and start accepting responsibility for your GOP failures.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WELKER: Susan Collins says Trump's Canada tariffs will increase costs on American families. Is she right?

TIM SCOTT: Let's look back at Joe Biden--

WELKER: Wait. President Trump has been in office for two years. Inflation was at 3% when Biden left office. It's at 3.4% right now.

SCOTT: Joe Biden ...

WELKER: The Biden administration is over!

Those are her qualifications?

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump defends Darline Graham after she fumbled a basic national security question:

She’s very smart. She was being honest. She’s into the price of groceries. The price of food. She is going to do what the military wants, and really what the president wants. She understands that national security is my thing

[Willie Ross Jr. Knee Deep @RossKneeDeep]

There's a lot of things that Trump has done personally for himself since returning to the presidency. Like playing golf, military parades, Super Bowls, Soccer Championships, MMA cage fights on the White House lawn, retrofitting a gifted luxury airplane for $400 million, building a balroom/bunker, turned the Rose Garden into a folding chair parking lot. Placed his name on government buildings, placed his face and signature on our currency and passports...

My question is. What remarkable or slightly significance thing has Trump done for the American citizen?

I'm not talking about the $4 trillion dollar tax cut he gave to his billionaire buddies.

WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR US?

[𝕁𝕆ℝℂ𝕐 @CyndiJorae]

Get real. Gas where I live in $4.69 and going up. Coffee has doubled and meat has skyrocketed. Now Trump wants to import ground beef but won’t say from where. I’d sure love to be able to afford a nice steak again.

[Kayla @KaylaDavis2000]

Stephen Miller claimed Trump brought gas prices down from Biden highs and inflation to 2%. The truth? Gas is $4.11 a gallon, highest ever for this date, and inflation sits at 3.4%.

Stop lying to people!

Only ground beef? What’s happening to the roasts and steaks?

Trump's Mystery Meat Scam: Dumping Who-Knows-What Foreign Beef to Screw Ranchers and Buy Votes

Trump just announced he'll flood U.S. markets with 300,000 metric tons of foreign ground-beef product for 90 days — tariff-free, supposedly 25% cheaper — and has the balls to claim this "helps our ranchers" while the American herd "grows again."

Bullshit. Temporary cheap imports crush cattle prices exactly when ranchers need strong signals to retain heifers and rebuild the herd that's already at multi-decade lows. High prices incentivize expansion. Low prices kill it. Futures tanked on the news. Cattle groups called it out: short-term optics over long-term supply. This doesn't help American farmers. It undercuts them.

And what the fuck is this "mystery beef?" Horse meat? Dog meat? Soylent Green? Trump won't even name the countries. Lean trimmings from somewhere, "highest quality," trust the deal. Nobody trusts conman Trump, who will do any horrific thing he can think of to try and sway public opinion before the 2026 midterm elections. Grocery prices are a liability, so he sacrifices the producers who backed him for a temporary shelf-price mirage that may not even stick.

America First? What a pathetic joke. This is pure Trump First — always has been. Ranchers aren't just getting screwed; they're completely invisible to him. Nothing but disposable props in his desperate midterm price-fix theater.

Finally. The public has a right to know.

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

A heartbreaking investigation revealed that Trump's Bureau of Land Management is systematically rounding up thousands of America's wild horses, then quietly selling them off to buyers who are shipping them to slaughterhouses abroad.

Before, the U.S. government rarely sold wild horses. But since Trump took office, government sales have more than doubled.

Slaughterhouses pay up to $750 a wild horse, the investigation found.

The Bureau of Land Management is nominally in charge of protecting the 73,000 or so wild horses who roam America's public lands in the West. Under Trump, the Bureau is sending our wild horses to the slaughterhouse.
