Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

Trump has his yuge (but not too yuge) dictator parade (modest attendance) and it gets drowned out by actual news: escalating military back and forth between Iran-Israel (which is outside the general tit for tat), assassination and attempt of assassination of two Democrat lawmakers and their spouses, massive anti-Trump protests. Rain or not, Trump's parade (which hijacked a tribute to the Army's anniversary,

... at this point, it is believed that the author was dragged away by masked men. He was not seen again, though rumours continue to circulate that he may be in El Salvador.
 
Should be impeached for this statement alone.

 
Seen some posts how the military disrespected the asshole. First, no dress uniforms, just fatigues. Second, no marching in lock step.



As far as I know, any successful coup requires having the military back the guy taking over. Seems they might have a little problem with that.

Hopefully.
Seems foregone that we’re going to find out.
 
Well over half of Americans don't support Trump's disgusting big bill. You can read my link if you want, but WaPo might ask for your email so I'll try to highlight the important parts in case you don't want them bugging you to subscribe.

As Senate Republicans race to pass President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a plurality of Americans oppose the sweeping tax-and-spending legislation, with mixed opinions on specific provisions and concerns about its impact on the national debt and Medicaid, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll conducted earlier this month.


Overall, 42 percent of Americans oppose the budget bill “changing tax, spending and Medicaid policies” that narrowly passed in May by the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, compared with 23 percent of Americans who support the bill, and 34 percent who say they have no opinion.
Support among Republicans is higher, with 49 percent who say they support the bill compared to 13 percent who oppose, and 38 percent who say they have no opinion. Democrats strongly oppose the bill, with about three-quarters of Democrats against it. Independents also oppose it 40 percent to 17 percent, while about 4 in 10 independents have no opinion on the bill.

About two-thirds of the public says they have heard either little or nothing about the budget bill. Those who have heard a great deal or a good amount about it oppose it by a roughly 2-to-1 margin, 64 percent to 33 percent, with nearly half strongly in opposition.

I guess ignorance is bliss.

Opinions on specific aspects of the bill — which includes tax cuts, increased spending on border security, cuts to spending on social safety net programs such as Medicaid, and rollbacks on spending to curb climate change — however are nuanced, ranging from very popular to very unpopular.
A clear majority of Americans support increasing the child tax credit from $2,000 to $2,500 — 72 percent — and 65 percent support eliminating taxes on earnings from tips. But 66 percent of Americans broadly oppose cutting federal funding for food assistance to low-income households compared to 23 percent who support this, while 61 percent oppose spending $45 billion on migrant detention centers compared to 24 percent.

One of the most divisive components of the House-passed package are the size and scope of cuts to entitlement programs. To deliver on some of Trump’s pricey initiatives, the Republican bill plans to significantly cut spending on Medicaid as well as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and other safety net initiatives.
Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Josh Hawley (Missouri) have all raised alarms about far-reaching changes to Medicaid and its impact on rural health-care facilities in their states.

I do wonder if the Republicans will cave to support their master. Oddly enough, parts of the Senate bill are even more cruel than what the House has passed. All we can do is hope that people vote against these cruel people in the midterms next year as well as attending protests and rallies etc.
