Power to the customers and multi-media artists of Beauty Salons! We here at TWMDBS appreciate the spirit of a sweet little salon in Portlandia. Thank you for sharing your pointed pink message with Juanita Jean. Can we all agree on this? Hate is Ugly.

Everything TFG has a price. Whether it’s one of Melania’s fancy $90 ornaments (I thought she didn’t care about Christmas?) or T Flag wrapping paper at $28 for 4 sheets, or any of the myriad of goodies on Trumpstore.com, everything about him is monetized.

From Religion News this Christmas week, we have this headline:

At Trump’s Inauguration, Reports of a Pay to Pray

(RNS) — President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is reportedly planning an interfaith prayer service the day before his inauguration, where participants can worship alongside the businessman and his wife, Melania.

But those who want to join need to weigh the price of prayer: Tickets to the service will be awarded only to those who donate at least $100,000 to Trump’s inaugural ceremonies, or who raise $200,000.

Jesus continues to weep, as TFG faithful open their wallets.

This one is older than I am by a couple of years. Seems appropriate. Tip of the hat to the WaPo for resurrecting it. Have as Happy Holidays as possible.

Sometimes kids have to learn for themselves.  You know the type – the child who defies your warning to be careful or not do something that could be painful, like touching a hot stove or tasting Tabasco.  Some kids listen, and some…have to learn for themselves.  I think we’re there.  Trump has bent reality to the point that alleged rapists, liars, haters, racists, security risks, and the clearly unqualified are tapped to lead gigantic federal agencies with millions of people.  Prolific lying is normalized.  Political pressure from oligarchs’ money, along with the caving of tech bros has created a tsunami of bad judgement and acquiescence that’s going to get precisely what Trump wants – chaos and destruction.

You know what?  Sometimes you just have to let them touch the hot stove.  I predict that in the next 24 months millions of Trump voters who have supported mass deportation, privatization of the Post Office and Medicare are going to be shocked when they lose benefits and friends disappear.  They’ll be pissed when the price of eggs and other groceries skyrockets and when it costs more to fill up their cars.  They’ll be shocked when their iPhone and television prices double, and when there are shortages of products they’ve come to expect on the shelf.  They’ve believed the bullshit and touched the stove – let’s see how long it takes for them to recognize that doing that really hurts.  The problem is that others who didn’t touch the stove will also get burned and healing will be a really long time coming.

There’s not much else normal people can do now.  Delusion has taken over at all levels of government, business, and society, and the only way out now is to let happen what’s going to happen.  Hopefully when the suffering gets hard enough, people will wake up from their coma.  I just hope they do.

Today, Shitbag-Elect Donald Trump used a photo of himself and Jill Biden in an advertisement on Truth Social to sell his shit perfume call “Fight Fight Fight”.  Yes, he used WITHOUT PERMISSION a photograph of Jill Biden taken in a CHURCH, to sell fucking perfume. The photograph was taken prior to the Notre Dame reopening ceremony.  Much thanks to the French government for putting Jill in such close proximity to a convicted felon and sexual abuser.  More proof that he doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone and feels free to use any and all people to his own advantage.

To reiterate: Donald Trump doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone or anything but himself.  He has such disrespect for others (especially the Bidens) that he’s happy to use them for his own gain.
