Quit Political Game of Chicken & Do Your Job

The political Red and Blue Teams are 27 days into their game of economic chicken.  Both sides want the public to believe they are not capable of resolving differences.  The answer is they are unwilling to do the job required of them.

Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time.  The never ending political campaign has turned every vote into a W or L.  Most people can recall the spoiled kid in their school who had to win at everything and would lie, cheat, harm or steal to make "a win" happen.   That can be seen in our elected officials.  

Get back to work.  Do your job.  Serve up your best work to Trump II and he'll either sign or veto the funding bill.  

Many corporate and political leaders today are those spoiled kids of yesterday.  Our country should be embarrassed, as should their parents.  After all, we raised them into their roles of public-private service.  

27 days of no empathy, no understanding, no courage and worst of all, no responsibility.  Quit tackling each other and tackle the problems facing the American people.  It's your flipping job.

Update 10-31-25:  Quit the finger pointing, get together and hammer out a way forward.  Do your ffffffffing job!!!!

Update 11-1-25:  Airline CEOs joined together in calling for Congress to get back to work.

From "Not Touching" to "Demolishing"

Trump II, the digital Caligula, went from adding a ballroom that would "not touch" the existing White House to demolishing the entire East Wing of the building.  The move came with none of the usual historical oversight.

Sounds like something a predator would do......

Speaking of predators, the financial kind are among the funders of the new ballroom/East Wing: 

...Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon, and Palantir. The guest list also featured oil billionaire Harold Hamm, Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, and cryptocurrency entrepreneurs Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.

71% of Independent voters are dissatisfied with the direction Trump is taking the country.  The group that swings elections has every right to be upset.  The takers take and take and take....

Update 10-31-25:  Trump II is 63 points more unpopular than February after cratering with young voters:

Trump went from a plus-eight net approval in February to a minus-55 net approval in October

The creep element, a core aspect of Trump II, has become more manic and magnified.  Apparently, young people have noticed.

TRUMP XIX 2092

Trump II posted yet another AI video that only a TechGod could love.  Both plan to live forever.  Both usurp God's word and creation nearly ceaselessly, given most of these folks do not sleep.  They generally are not in favor of their worker's sleeping or having a personal life.

Don't sleep, live forever, torture the little people...there is lore regarding such beasts.  

I'll venture the science fiction club has put more thought into 2092 than Trump.  It's clear the kind of future Trump, TechGods and PEU Legends wish to create, one where there are no restraints on their whims or predilections.  Lord, help us all.....

Push Donald, Push

It's not unusual for a 79 year old man to enjoy taking a badly needed dump.  Thanks to AI and Truth Social people have the opportunity to see Trump II's giant defecation make its way through the bowels of a fighter jet and fall on a mostly white crowd of people gathered in the street.  

It's not clear the location of Trump II's expulsionary fantasy given the signs are not in English, normally a requirement in MAGA world.  AI is yet to learn that, despite being "all knowing" like Trump II himself.

Another AI video pictures Blue Team leaders bowing to Trump the King, whose donned robe has fallen off.  

Trump says he wants to go to heaven.  He does not seem serious about improving his chances, not in the least.  You can't push your way in, even if you have legions of earthly followers.  

Red Team's "No Kings" Roots

The original orange tinted Republican expressed concern in 2014 over President Obama's executive orders as monarchical, kingly and unworthy of a democracy. House Speaker John Boehner threatened to sue over this violation.   Karl Rove and Senator Rand Paul got in on the characterization.

Boehner's successor in skin color was relatively restrained in his first White House term.  That went out the door for Trump II, the digital Caligula.  

Every American should be able to say they are against imperial power, indicate they oppose a monarch acting as the law contrary to passed legislation.

However, that is not the case.  Politics is an insufficient way to explain our world, given its ever shifting sands, serial mistruths and mind numbing double standards. 

The foundation of democracy should be more than Bronx Colors Nutmeg WPF06 and a spineless Roundtable.  

Red Team Future Executives

Trump II era Red Team politics has been grooming future leaders to carry on his divisive, selectively enriching policies.  

I long for the days of traditional conservatism, now a mere memory.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's list includes of conservative values includes "human dignity."  I wonder how he'd score the racist chats from Young Republicans who for the most part are channeling their party's CEO.  

You can't call any of this leadership on behalf of our Republic.  It's tribal win lose which is part and parcel to an election but needs to be set aside for governance to occur.

Oh and Congress, Get Back to Work!

Call Back the House, Get to Work

Citizen Trump had this view of the Presidency in past shutdowns:

TRUMP: But if there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together. 

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Who’s going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a — is shutdown of our government? 

TRUMP: Well, if you say who gets fired, it always has to be the top. I mean, problems start from the top, and they have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room, and he’s got to lead.

Trump golfed twice instead of "getting people together" and fired government workers vs. those at the top.  One Red Team Senator called the firings punitive.  I would go further and call it abusive.

Politics is an insufficient way to explain our world, given its ever shifting sands, serial mistruths and mind numbing double standards.  

Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time.  Get back to work and do the people's business!

Update 10-14-25:  A recent poll showed:

Some 67% of the 1,154 respondents said Republicans deserve “at least a fair amount” of blame for the shutdown as it stretched into Day 10, while 63% said the same of Democrats. President Donald Trump also drew scrutiny with 63% saying he deserved a share of the blame.

Get back to work.
