Pensito Illustration Trump conducts foreign policy like a reality TV show, On bombing Iran: “I may do it. I may not do it. Nobody knows …”
The fake suspense is the thing,
And like puppets on a string,
The media obediently record Trump’s swaggering braggadocio.
Pensito Illustration So Trump’s new rules mean the Veterans Administration Can deny care based on political party affiliation.
Hey, Democrat vets,
Here’s what you get:
No treatment AND discrimination from an ungrateful nation.
American birthright on the block. The Wilderness Society is warning that the Senate’s Reconciliation bill for Trump’s Big Ugly Budget boondoggle will make “250+ million acres of public lands eligible for sale. “It puts 16 million acres of public land in California up for sale.SFGAte reports that, “Those vulnerable parcels of land include areas adjacent to Yosemite National Park, Mount Shasta, Big Sur and Lake Tahoe.”
The bill is the brainchild of MAGA Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who made news over his cruel gaslighting attempt to recast the MAGA terrorist murderer in Minnesota as a liberal by tweeting, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”
Whisky Pete on the block? Trump is reportedly furious with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for failing to deliver a North Korea-style military parade on the American Dear Leader’s birthday. The New Republic reports that he allegedly “reamed out” Hegseth over the spectacle — which was advertised as a celebration of the Army’s 250th anniversary but conveniently fell on Trump’s birthday — as well as the soldiers who took part in it, according to biographer Michael Wolff.
Off with their masks. California lawmakers have introduced legislation to ban law enforcement officers, including Trump’s MAGA ICE goons, from wearing masks. The law would also require officers to wear identifying information. ABC News reports:
A pair of lawmakers in California are seeking to ban law enforcement officers in the state from wearing face coverings, amid protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s immigration policies. State Sens. Scott Wiener and Jesse Arreguin — Democratic lawmakers from San Francisco and Oakland, respectively — announced Monday that they would be filing SB 627 to ban local, state and federal law enforcement from covering their faces when interacting with the public. The legislation, dubbed the No Secret Police Act, would also require law enforcement officers to wear identifying information, Wiener wrote in a post on X. “Secret police behavior tanks trust & must end,” Wiener wrote.
Gas face: Trump at his disastrous June 14, 2025, military parade
His Royal Flatulence. Our draft-dodging President Cadet Bonespurs finally got the North Korea-style military parade he’d dreamed of, and the reviews are in. It was a snoozefest. But during the June 14 parade in Washington, D.C., cameras captured Trump in his presidential viewing box expressing signficant discomfort.This fueled speculation that he was either sleeping, on the verge of tears or suffering from digestive distress. He literally had gas face.
Cold civil war. While Trump was watching his sad parade, millions of pro-democracy Americans turned out for No Kings protests across the country to send him a message: “We don’t want your stinking fascism, so get your tiny hands off our democratic republic.” Now the babyman is striking back. According to The Daily Beast:
Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night. The president issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed. Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
Über alles. A boycott of Target stores by African-Americans as well as pro-democracy groups earlier this year depressed sales so drastically that CEO Brian Cornell took a 45 percent pay cut. Having learned nothing from this, in late May Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi came out in support of the reconciliation package MAGA senators are preparing in an effort to pass Trump’s Big Bad Budget bill into law. The Trump regime White House website quoted Khosrowshahi’s tweet in support of the bill:
We’ve said from the start: No Tax on Tips should include @Uber drivers & couriers. Grateful the new House Ways & Means bill does just that. Thanks to @POTUS and @RepJasonSmith for backing all tipped workers—no matter how they work. Let’s get this done!”
In the House version of the bill, no taxes would be applied to cash tips only. Uber drivers rarely get tips in cash. But it’s the rest of the bill that most people find concerning, particularly the drastic cuts to Medicaid or SNAP. According to the Daily Dot,”Fierce opposition to the bill from the left means that Khosrowshahi was bound to face boycott calls over his support. ‘BOYCOTT UBER!’ wrote X user @Suzierizzo1. ‘The Uber CEO tells Trump that he supports him and the Reconciliation Bill that will leave children, elderly, and Veterans to starve to death! Look what we did to Target, so now it’s Uber’s turn!’”
Pensito Illustration Musk’s feud with Trump was just the rants of a ketamine whacko.
He’s deleting tweets faster than an oligarch fresh out of bravado.
It seems Elon was just a gibbering lout
Who was the first one to chicken out,
And so apparently we’ve moved on from T.A.C.O to M.A.C.O.
Pensito Illustration When Joe Biden tripped, Donald Trump made a big to-do.
When Trump slipped, tripped and gripped, it went viral, too!
But hey, you’re the president,
And it pays to have a sycophant
Like Li’l Marco, who will badly fake a trip to cover for you.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) addresses threats from Trump’s cartoon-villain border czar Tom Homan on MSNBC
How to talk to idiocrats, part 1. “He’s a tough guy, why doesn’t he do that? He knows where to find me,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Sunday, addressing Trump’s cartoon-villain border czar Tom Homan’s threat to arrest him. Newsom also spoke directly to Trump: “This is a serious moment, and it requires serious leadership, and it’s time for you to be a commander in chief of the United States of America, and I will have your back if you want to work in a relationship of trust and truth in the spirit of our founding fathers, but you come after poor kids. You come after families. We will do everything in our power to stand up and stand in your way … Where’s your decency, Mr. President? Stop. Rescind this order,” Newsom said. “It’s illegal and unconstitutional … It’s immoral. You’re creating the conditions that you claim you’re solving, and you’re not, and you’re putting real people’s lives at risk.” Newsom also announced plans to sue the Trump administration over the deployment.
How to talk to idiocrats, part 2. In an editorial on June 8, 2025, titled “Intimidation won’t make the Sentinel back down on Hope Florida story,” the Orlando Sentinel editorial board snapped back against Florida’s fascist governor, Ron DeSantis: “[We] received an unsigned letter from the Florida Department of Children and Families on Friday at 2:0 p.m. It was also posted on social media minutes later and reposted by Gov. Ron DeSantis on his X account. It demanded that Orlando Sentinel and reporter Jeffrey Schweers “cease and desist” reporting for a story about funding flowing through Hope Florida, the nonprofit spearheaded by the governor’s wife, Casey. This attempt to bully our newsroom away from a story is clearly intended to be chilling, but it won’t impact our reporting.
Today’s quotable idiocrat. GOP Representative Mary Miller — who once said that Adolf Hitler was “right about one thing” — wrongly identified a Sikh man as Muslim in a racist X post regarding who was allowed to lead prayer in the US House of Representatives. “It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should have never been allowed to happen,” she wrote on X over a picture of Giani Singh, a Sikh Granthi from southern New Jersey who was welcomed to give the prayer by Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew. “America was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth, not drift further from it. May God have mercy,” she concluded.
“I often say that I serve in Congress with some of the greatest minds of the 18th century. With Rep. Miller I may need to take it back a few more centuries,” Democratic Representative Jared Huffman stated.
Magic 8 Ball says: “Yes, definitely.” To the question asked in a headline at Australia ABC: “Is Trump the antichrist? — and other hard questions Christians should be asking.”
Pensito Illustration Musk started it, saying Trump’s bill was a “disgusting abomination.”
Trump responded, targeting Musk’s government contracts for termination.
So Musk threatens Trump with impeachment,
Then Trump mulls Musk’s deportation and banishment.
We hope it ends with a duel to the death, broadcast to a grateful nation.
Republicans side with Trump over Musk by nearly a 12 to 1 margin, but a majority of the rest of us are rooting for “neither,” including 52 percent overall, 80 percent of Democrat and 59 percent of independents.

“I noted over the weekend several reasons why Donald Trump himself, his presidency, and his administration overall are nowhere near prepared for the Iran/Israel situation. … But the more that it becomes an Iran/US situation, the more it’s important to add one more important point: Trump is absolutely, utterly unprepared to rally the nation around a war effort. And nothing we’ve seen in the last ten years even hints that he’s capable of it.”
“Conventional political analyses do not come close to describing the way our world has been turned on its head. Yes, the GOP lost its spine and its balls; Democrats flailed; the electorate realigned. The enter>tainment wing of the GOP routed the establishment. Much of the rest of the media has been enshittified. … But that really doesn’t capture the velocity or the scope of the transformation. It’s not just our politics. America has become dumber, crueler, crazier, and more violent. To much of the rest of the world, we have become unrecognizable.”
“As is so often the case, Donald Trump’s opponents are playing into his hands. This is exactly the kind of fight that Donald Trump loves, with his opponents carrying Mexican flags past burning cars.”
“Don’t kid yourself they know they are absolutely getting cooked politically with their terrible bill and rising prices, and they want to create a violent spectacle to feed their content machine. It’s time for the mainstream media to describe this authoritarian madness accurately.”
— Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), reacting on X to President Trump sending National Guard troops to Los Angeles.
“The people have spoken. A new political party is needed in America to represent the 80% in the middle! And exactly 80% of people agree. This is fate.”
— Elon Musk floated a new political party on Friday after falling out with President Trump over the big, beautiful bill, The Hill reports. He followed up with a potential name for the group, “The America Party.”
America’s millionaire population grew by 379,000 for a total of 23.8 million, the most of any country, according to a new study by UBS, CNBC reports. Much of that wealth growth came from strong markets and a stable dollar, which both have been disrupted so far in 2025 by a trade war and recession fears.
A new Economist/YouGov poll finds 60% of Americans think the U.S. military should not get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Only 16% support U.S. military action, and 24% are unsure.
A new Washington Post poll finds Americans opposing U.S. airstrikes against Iran by a 20 percentage-point margin — 45 percent to 25 percent — with a sizable 30 percent saying they are unsure.
Americans broadly disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president and favor Democratic U.S. House candidates for the 2026 midterms by 8 points, 45% to 37%, a new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds. The president is underwater on 10 out of 11 issues.
An Economist/YouGov poll found that only 16% of U.S. adults and less than a quarter of Republicans think the U.S. should get involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel. Trump voters are even less enthusiastic than Republicans as a whole. Only 19% of 2024 Trump voters support U.S. involvement.
