Flying back to the US today, to visit and handle business. Check on family. My stepdad reached and said welcome home. I responded with I appreciate the sentiment, but the US is no longer the place I consider "home." Masked police, concentration camps, killing at will, and a child rapist president?

This 4th, this is the song I'll be blasting most of the day. All this bullshit patriotism. youtu.be/Iww-l4UtygE?...

The GOP will cut food and health care access to the W2 employees, who pay taxes every year, of the business owners, who don't pay their employees a living wage, who every year cheat the US out of the tax dollars they should be paying. They call one a freeloader and the other one "super smart."

I deal with plenty of MAGAts in my business. Demographics. All good, I'll take their money and I always do a good job. Everyone deserves that. Whst kills me is one complaining to me that Americans have no money, so she prefers dealing with Indian Americans. Cause they have money. She refers her....

How crazy is it that people whose forefathers immigrated to the US just told other immigrants you can't come in to said country. We don't want you. And we getting rid of other people who immigrated here and were legally residing in said country. The white privilege is astounding.

Someone told me they don't like the "waiting process" and I am like, waiting is not a process. It's just being patient to allow other work to be completed. The work is the process.

It's a really weird feeling when you just know your wife, who served in the US army during deployment, says she doesn't think she'll ever go back to the US after you moved to Portugal in October. She put her life on the line for the US and does not feel safe there. At all. She is black also.

CNN is always good for a laugh. Right now, Justice Department holds press conference on health care fraud. Ok, are they talking about Rick Scott the GOP senator for Florida? Cause he committed all kinds of Medicare fraud and just got away with it. No one did shit. Fucking baffoons.

Alright, here we go. I love Robert. This guy has always been on top of things and this is a warning that people need to grapple with now. The midterms are going to be a battle, maybe the last big one. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

tRump plays 3 dimensional lawn darts without the lawn. Cause it's a daiper and the darts are actually farts. Well, maybe turds. Let's not quibble.

The best thing about social media is if people make comments to you that are trying to be insulting or abusive, you don't have to respond, just block and delete. When a social media "intellectual" tries to correct or preach at you, tell em to take their soap box to the dumpster! No time for that! 😁

We moved to Portugal in October. I like to play golf weekly if I can. I play with people from all over now, Poland, Germany, UK, Singapore, it's wild. Everyone literally asks me why I moved and I tell them, racism, guns, healthcare, and stupidity. They all agree and say they understand.

tRump's name coming off the Kennedy Center, right now? It's just a small thing, but it's nice, right?

open.substack.com/pub/thejackh... Get ready.

Funny, I was reading comments on an article online about the protesters at the ICE facility getting convictions for engaging with ICE officers, and I can tell you, not only is the hypocrisy thick as mud, but like people say, tRump is a symptom, not the disease. And the disease runs rampant.

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... I keep saying this doesn't get fixed or stopped with an election. I fully believe they will try to seize control of things before the midterms.

People in the US think that when they get old, they will then get good affordable health care because of Medicare. That's what my mom had when she had her stroke. Hint: it's not great. Doesn't cover long term recovery. She didn't recover, passed after 2 years of hell trying to get her good care.

Seems to me that every act of gun violence in the US, whether it be a school shooting, domestic violence shooting, public space shooting, is really also an act of political violence as politicians, those who make and shape the laws of the US, take no action to address them. It's all political.

Repuglicants do nothing about gun violence after every school shooting. They also do nothing about pedophiles everyday they hide the Epstein files. Weird Americans keep voting them into power. Or maybe not. 🤔

172,000 jobs added? Where? McDonald's? Where are these jobs??? If that were really the case, I doubt the 10 year bond yields would be doing what they are doing. Which means the market ain't buying the info they peddling anymore. Which is why the fed will probably hike rates. Lies only work so long.

CNN wanting to charge me to read their articles on CNN Money is hilarious. I literally only read them so I can mock 90% of them in the comment section, I'll pass on paying to mock them. They have bent the knee and we all see.

Try to tell me Julian Casablancas isn't one of the coolest singers in any type of music right now and I'll tell you about that time I poked a guy's eye out during that exact same argument.

I look back on fond memories of growing up in the US a lot different after moving out of it. Shit, they seem a little darker the more I think about them. And it was almost always about race. Like, always. Fucking liars.

People in rural red America think all the big cities are so bad and cannot understand why people go visit them and it's like, ummm, yeah, the big cities are soooo bad that millions upon millions of people want to live in or near them. Because, you know, they are soooo bad. Where did logic go?

Do people who support the pedophile in the white house keep confusing the chaotic mess of the government as some "pre" greatness state of things that are all about to work out instead of just the fucking chaotic mess it actually is? Asking for a frustrated friend.

When the wife and I meet different people in Portugal, much like the group of German folks we played golf with last week, and they ask us why we left the US and we start telling them about ICE and the concentration camps built or being built in the US, their shock is pretty interesting.

6abc.com/post/bomb-sq... So are these guys gonna get a check from tRump also?

As a white American male, I am truly baffled that white male mediocrity destroyed what was left of American democracy. Talk about some thinned skinned shit. Damn.

www.cnn.com/2026/05/19/b... I had several realtors going on about how tRump was gonna get in and get those mortgage rates back in 4s and 3s, just you watch. They still don't get it. Still. They are not going down. Neither is inflation.

Are MAGAts saying "maybe Billy playing girl's middle school soccer isn't that big a deal" now as they fill their desiel supermax duelies up at Racetrac? I don't know, but I feel like this is going through someone's head, somewhere in America. Right about now.

Is there any other creature more thin skinned than the white, straight, American male? I can't think of any.

The greatest feat of the American politic is the elimination of critical thinking skills from the American education system. In doing so, yes, it has created a easier to lead populace, but has lost any sense of what it was that people thought was "great." This is how you ruin things.

So the Virginia Supreme Court said to hell with democracy! Once again, proof, the midterms are not going to save anyone or change things. It will take more than a vote at this point. Once you give fascists power, they do not just relinquish it. Get ready!

Wake up around 9, 9:30. Walk into the kitchen to this view. Drink an espresso with wife. Talk about what we plan on doing. Take Portuguese lesson for an hour. Walk the dog. Start work around 2 pm. Which means sitting in the office more on my laptop, with the shades open. Not bad in Portugal.

Maybe it is time for everyone to start buying guns and ammo? Cause things are going to get awful weird in the US come November. That's how it is looking from where I'm sitting. Sucks.

Is there anyway we could just skip to the Kool-aid party part of the MAGA cult debacle?

Is it fair to say in 50 years, children will learn that tRump ushered in America's third era of apartheid? Seems fair.

Do you think everyone in the US realizes they are one major medical event or even one bad accident away from medical debt ruin? Heck, James Van Der Beek is a great example. He made plenty of money from acting. Spent most of it on his treatments. His widow and 6 kids are asking for money online.

Curious to know when, if ever, the rural GOP voters will figure out that the policies they have been voting for over the last 50 or so years, focus on taking away any help for the poor, but especially the poor in rural places. The cities have extra help. The backwoods do not. Hmmmm.

Republikunts have total control of the government, the laws, the courts, the military and they choose to grift for themselves and enrich the already filthy rich. They choose to be patsies for Russia and Israel. They steal commodities from less powerful countries. They kill with impunity. Great?

So Camp Mystic withdrew their application for license for running a camp this year. Yeah, that's probably for the best. Why the fuck were they even being allowed to apply? 25 kids died.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

The FBI is raiding daycare centers in Minnesota, yet not one person in the Epstein files has been arrested in the US. Seems a little weird, right?

Anybody else thinking the announcement od the Strait being opened is just another pump and dump grift on the market since it is closed again today? Heard there were a lot of crude short sales yesterday. The grift continues! Nice work MAGAts. Lol.

Ummm, so Tammy Duckworth will now not be honored for her service? Read something about it online and the comments against her were disgusting, to say the least. America's racism and hatred was really harsh. This is one of the reason the wife I moved to Portugal. This shit will never change.

Why is it no one rigs elections to get the best candidate elected? Askin for a friend living in fascism.

As someone who can control the direction of their pee, I feel obligated to use it for good when I use a toilet that has some unfortunate "track marks" left by someone else. Call me crazy, but it's my gift to the rest of the world. You're welcome.

Ok, so all the people posting "don't say TACO, it's not funny, this is real and we can't make fun of him or he may go ahead and drop nukes," need to realize that he doesn't want you to make fun of him or call him TACO. It is better to mock him than to fear him. Seriously. Fuck the consequences.

The only reason Kegbreath is still Sec of Defense is tRump fully believes Whiskey Pete will use the military to make him the dicktator he wants to be. It's also why Petey keeps getting rid of certain high ranking generals and officers. He's prepping the ranks. IMO, this happens by the midterms.

Ahhh, America! The one country rich enough to make the common person feel like they are failing if they cannot afford health care instead of feeling like their country failed them. Nice work! JFC.
