Trump Wants to Fuck the Debt Ceiling Fuckery

Congress better pull their heads out of their asses by mid-July or we're all screwed. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is practically begging these lazy bastards to raise the goddamn debt ceiling before they skip town for their cushy summer break. The air feels thick with impending economic disaster as our national debt crushes down at $36 trillion—the weight of it pressing on our chests, suffocating future generations. Bessent's letter to that spineless weasel Mike Johnson reeks of desperation: "I respectfully urge..." Translation: "Get off your fucking ass and do your job before the country implodes while you're sipping margaritas!" The bitter taste of governmental failure hangs heavy as America teeters on financial collapse.

Trump's Constitutional Assault: “Fuck the Constiution”

Jesus fucking Christ. The stench of fascism wafts through the White House as that slimy worm Stephen Miller announces they're "actively looking at" suspending habeas corpus. Your stomach churns hearing these words—a cornerstone of American justice being gutted like a fish. The cold sweat of realization prickles your skin: this administration is calling migrants an "invasion" to justify this unconstitutional power grab. You can practically hear the rattling chains of desperate people like Öztürk and Khalil, trapped in detention with their last legal lifeline being severed. Only four goddamn times in American history has this happened—Civil War, KKK terrorism, Pearl Harbor—and now Donny McShitstain wants to join that list. Your mouth goes dry as one Democrat puts it: "If he can do this to noncitizens, he can do it to citizens too."

The Dirty Trump AssCrack: Wealthy Tax Hikes in Trump's America

Holy shit, folks. The political landscape just got messier than a toddler eating spaghetti. Donny McStinkface suddenly claims he'd "graciously accept" a "TINY" tax increase on the rich—a complete 180 from his campaign promises. This duplicitous bastard told Time magazine he "actually love[s] the concept" of taxing millionaires more heavily.

Meanwhile, GOP lawmakers are sweating bullets trying to find $1.5 trillion in cuts to offset their massive tax reduction package. The air in Capitol Hill reeks of desperation and expensive cologne.

Two options are swirling through the political toilet bowl: letting tax breaks for the wealthiest expire (returning to the 39.6% pre-2017 rate) or creating a fresh tax bracket for the ultra-wealthy. The first would affect 1.5 million households and save $409 billion; the second would touch fewer rich assholes but generate only $59.3 billion.

Despite Trumpy McShitpants' apparent openness, his economic director Kevin Hassett backpedaled faster than a clown on a unicycle, saying the president "is not a strong advocate" of taxing the rich.

The stench of hypocrisy hangs thick as House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith prepares to meet with the administration to hash out this clusterfuck of contradictions.

MTG Shown to Be NOT In Control of Her Own Committee

During a Doge subcommittee meeting, Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene presented a doctored photo falsely showing a US fencing official giving the middle finger when he was actually holding up two fingers. When Representative Stansbury raised a point of order about this misrepresentation, Greene repeatedly refused to recognize her, causing heated exchanges. Greene abused her gavel power to silence opposition while continuing to misrepresent witnesses and evidence, culminating in what one member called "a literal photobomb." [TikTok]

Nancy Mace is Still a Bitch

A committee member highlighted Republican hypocrisy by reading a quote from Representative Nancy Mace claiming strong support for LGBTQ+ rights. They then entered evidence into the record showing that despite her claimed support, Mace posted 326 times about transgender people and bathrooms in just 72 hours last November. The speaker criticized Republicans for "obsessing" over demonizing transgender people while Democrats want to address substantive issues like Social Security, healthcare costs, and lowering prices.

Kristi Noem is an Uninformed Idiot

A heated exchange erupted during a Senate hearing when a Senator repeatedly questioned Homeland Security Secretary about complying with a 9-0 Supreme Court order to return Abraham Garcia to the United States. The Secretary repeatedly stated they were "following all federal court orders" without directly answering. The exchange escalated when the Senator called Garcia a "terrorist" and "human smuggler," prompting another Senator to intervene, noting that courts found no evidence linking Garcia to MS-13 or terrorism, and emphasized his due process rights.

Trump's Pathetic UK Trade Deal Exposes Economic Clusterfuck

Holy shit, the wheels are coming off Trump's economic promises. After weeks of bragging about how his "reciprocal" tariffs would rain down golden trade deals, Donald McStinkface has finally squeezed out one measly agreement with the UK—and it's as underwhelming as a fart in a hurricane.

Trump's Economic Dumpster Fire:

• Half-Assed UK Trade Deal: Trump and Starmer shook hands on a "framework" that isn't even written down yet. Like everything Trump touches, it's all flash and no substance—cutting tariffs on British cars while they'll "fast-track" our exports. Big fucking deal.

• Experts Call Bullshit: Economic analysts aren't buying the hype, calling it "a very small win" that can't be replicated. No wonder—Britain represents a paltry 2.9% of our trade. This isn't the economic revolution Trump promised; it's a pathetic participation trophy.

• American Workers Get Screwed: When confronted about devastating job losses at US ports, Turdburg Trump had the audacity to call it "a good thing." Meanwhile, Cleveland-Cliffs is shuttering steel plants, and aluminum smelters are choking to death instead of thriving as promised.

• Europe Threatens to Punch Back: The EU isn't taking this shit lying down, threatening a staggering $100 billion in retaliatory tariffs. As von der Leyen bluntly warned, these tariffs are already dragging global economies into the gutter.

• Republican Minds Explode: In a move that's making conservative heads spin, Trump is actually pushing to tax the rich by letting the top marginal rate from his 2017 tax cuts expire. The same party that worshipped at the altar of tax cuts for decades is now watching their god demand sacrifice.

• Administration Bloodbath Continues: Trump's installing his media attack dog Jeanine Pirro as DC's top prosecutor, fired FEMA's administrator for daring to suggest FEMA shouldn't be abolished, and kicked out the first Black female Librarian of Congress because... of course he did.

• Air Travel System on Life Support: Transportation Secretary Duffy is begging Congress for billions to overhaul our crumbling air traffic control system as travelers suffer through endless delays and cancellations.

As his poll numbers on the economy circle the drain, Trumpy McButtface's first trade "victory" is revealing just how hollow his economic swagger really is. Far from delivering the tsunami of beneficial deals he promised, we're left with a trickle of half-measures while American industries wither and die. Meanwhile, his jaw-dropping pivot to taxing the wealthy shows just how desperate this administration has become to find money for their promises—a frantic rewriting of Republican DNA that has the party faithful clutching their pearls and their wallets.

Trump Flip-Flops on Taxing the Rich

In a bewildering display of policy gymnastics, Donald Shitsniffer waffled Friday on whether Republicans should increase taxes on America's wealthiest. Just one day after reportedly pushing GOP lawmakers to let his 2017 tax cuts expire for the uber-rich, Trump backpedaled on Truth Social, writing that Republicans "should probably not do it," but adding "I'm OK if they do!!!" This head-spinning reversal follows White House proposals to create a new higher tax bracket for incomes above $2.5 million for individuals. Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson firmly rejected the idea, stating "our party is the group that stands against that." The suggestion has created a damned-if-they-do, damned-if-they-don't scenario for GOP leadership struggling to craft Trump's agenda bill. [TheHill]
