Questions

I saw a bunch of good questions online – thought I’d take a stab at ‘em.

1a)  Where are the homeless people who got rounded up in DC?  

I can only guess. 

• They went to “live” on a “farm upstate”? 
• Stephen Goebbels Miller sent them to one of his obscenely named concentration camps? 
• They’re in one of those for-profit prisons and being used as slave labor to pick the produce that the immigrants are no longer here to pick?

1b)  Why are we spending more to arrest and/or dump them all somewhere than what it would cost to shelter them?

Chronic homelessness costs taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per unhoused person per year and much of that money is wasted through high-cost policies that arrest and incarcerate unhoused people. A report from Los Angeles, California, for example, found that the city spends $100 million annually on homelessness, with $87 million of that amount devoted to law enforcement, leaving only $13 million for housing and services in the city with the largest unsheltered homeless population in the country. Salt Lake City, similarly, spends 85% of its homeless services budget on policing, according to a state audit. (source) 

2)  Why did Putin arrive to Trump clapping like an excited toddler on the tarmac, with soldiers kneeling to roll out the red carpet while European leaders and Zelenskyy were met by a Deputy Secretary of State?

Because Stinky’s in fanboi awe of Putin. He also owes Vlady serious spondulix AND Putin has MAJOR dirt on the orange pedo. Trump’s caught between hero worship and being scared shitless. The European leaders? They’re just adults, not mobsters. President Pedo isn’t impressed.

3)  Why does everyone pretend that Republicans are any fucking good at budgets, the economy, reducing the goddamn deficit or basic math? Clinton, Obama, and Biden were the only three presidents in the past 50 years to reduce the federal deficit. 

Let’s look at some facts, k?

...the deficit was $78.9 billion in 1981, the first year of Reagan’s presidency, and $152.6 billion in 1989, the year he left office....

Similarly, George H.W. Bush oversaw a deepening of the deficit to $102.4 billion.

Clinton then took over and presided over a deficit reduction of $383.3 billion during his eight years in the White House. This culminated in a budget surplus.

George W. Bush, who followed Clinton, led the country into two wars: one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan,...By the time he left office in 2009, it had grown by more than $1.5 trillion.

Obama, whose administration led the recovery from the financial crisis, left office in 2017, when the deficit had shrunk by...$747.2 billion.

Trump’s first term,...the deficit had grown by $2.1 trillion compared with 2017.

Much like Obama’s, Biden’s administration then oversaw the recovery from the pandemic. By the second half of 2024, for which the most recent data is available, the deficit had dropped by $942.5 billion. (source) 

4)  Why has J.D. Vance taken eight vacations in seven months ON THE TAXPAYER’S DIME? This includes his late July/early August kayaking outing in Ohio when he had the army corps of engineers raise the water level of the Little Miami River to make kayaking conditions more ideal.

Because he's useless in this administration. NO ONE likes him, he's stupid as hell, and he needs to keep some distance from Stinky's criminal antics so he can claim ignorance when the old orange one is either busted or dies.

5)  Why is Cosplay Kristi living for free in a house that should be occupied by the top admiral of the Coast Guard?

“Federal government coffers are not Noem’s personal piggy bank, and Coast Guard service members are not her servants. Noem must pay her part. If she requires accommodations for her security, she should brief Congress and request appropriate resources—not take over property from the Coast Guard,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement. (source) 

ICE Barbie certainly loves freeloading off our tax dollars and snatching every passing goodie that appeals to her greedheaded ass. She also put in a demand for a second $50 million Gulfstream 5 for her personal travel. I only mention it.

6)  Why is Pedo Prez allowed to sell Crypto, cars and such from the White House? Is there a Trump Gift Shop there now? Why... YES, yes there is! He’s set up a corner of the West Wing to display his own tacky MAGA wares. Between this, the grotesque proliferation of gold painted filigree and assorted garish gilded fripperies, and Stinky’s relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell (FPOTUS – First Pimp of the United States) and Melania (FOSWOTUS – first official Sex Worker of the United States) the White House is now a few levels below a Regency era bordello. 

I have more questions, seemingly unending questions. Very little makes sense anymore. For now I think I’ll just go take a shower, pat my very good cat, Cake, start a new book (Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir), and eat some truffles.
