Did you catch the Ryder Cup story?
Trump and his minions attended the contest and were so out of control, even a beer was thrown at Rory McIlroy's wife, that...
McIlroy went nuclear!
He said you had to respect the game, that there was no place for this behavior on the golf course. Furthermore, he rubbed it in the mob's face by emphasizing that despite all the rabble-rousing, Europe WON!
So what happened?
PGA of America president Don Rea, Jr. apologized.
As for Heather McMahan, the emcee of the event, she apologized too, after inciting the crowd by saying "f*ck you, Rory" into the microphone. Furthermore, she lost her gig.
But it's just golf.
Or is it?
What I don't understand about Bondi's performance in Congress today, is if you look at the record, and the past is prologue, everybody who went the extra mile for Trump, who defended him with their words even though their positions were indefensible, ultimately got f*cked. His personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. And Rudolph Giuliani. And Jenna Ellis lost her law license. You lose your bar membership, good luck trying to earn a living. As for Giuliani, he got sued and lost a lot of what he had.
For WHAT?
Momentary fame?
Everybody is expendable other than Trump himself. Kind of like Fox... Rupert Murdoch taught Tucker Carlson a lesson.
Did you watch any of the hearing today? The Judiciary Committee members were asking questions, and Pam Bondi was interrupting and losing her sh*t. I mean even when she said she refused to answer a question, she did it with attitude, with a sneer. WHY?
She's an attorney, she knows you can't get away with this behavior in court.
Now when the Allies liberated France...they killed those who cooperated with the Nazis. Now after all the shenanigans with lawsuits back and forth, I'm almost willing to let everybody slide after Trump's term, clean the slate and start all over again. Then again, I still can't rationalize the pardoning of the January 6th rioters. What exactly am I supposed to take from that? That if I'm connected enough the law doesn't apply to me? That the law is irrelevant if my guy is more powerful than yours? Now that ain't the America I remember.
The Judiciary Committee is entitled to ask questions. That's their job. Why should they be excoriated for doing their job?
And if you think while biting back that everybody who doesn't agree with the president has Trump Derangement Syndrome...
I think it's the rank and file who voted for him that have that.
Let me see... They're not rich enough to save any serious money with the tax cuts. Their health care is going to go up in price. The local hospital might close. Their business might sink as a result of tariffs...but they still defend Trump.
You can't defy gravity. Things are not going to turn out well. If it weren't for all the investment in AI the financial numbers would not look good.
And what do you say when the pollution from fossil fuels shortens your life and causes your relatives' death? I mean the Marlboro Man died. Sure, you can smoke a pack or two a day and live to be a hundred, but the odds are not good.
Aren't these the same people who told us just weeks ago that it was about reasonable discourse, that that was the essence of Charlie Kirk? Then what explains Pam Bondi's performance today? Throwing random digs all the while. Interrupting a relatively calm Adam Schiff and calling him a bad lawyer.
Why does Trump and everybody who surrounds him act like they're so OPPRESSED! They control the government, with the presidency and two houses of Congress and arguably the Supreme Court and... They can't stop saying that the problem is the Democrats. Explain that to me, it's not like the left has any true power.
Then again, if only a Democrat would act like Rory McIlroy and push back.
I mean imagine Pam Bondi giving this performance in high school. When called into the principal's office, what is she going to do, BARK BACK? She knows better than that. So why doesn't she know better with the Judiciary Committee? Talk about a persecution complex.
The right thinks they can act like this and there will be no reaction? That everybody will just take it? I mean despite having all the power, they've got to stick it in your eye to boot!
There's a good piece in today's "Los Angeles Times":
"As Trump reign implodes, tell MAGA 'I told you so'"
https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2025-10-07/trump-maga-i-told-you-so
The writer's take is the left should stop pussyfooting around the Republicans. Democrats should stop flagellating themselves over the past election and the ineptitude of their officials and just state the obvious...things aren't good in America right now, and they're about to get worse.
But if you don't say what the right wants to hear, if you don't toe the line, their minions will come down on you and...what is unfathomable to me is most of these morons who bite back at me each and every day don't have any money! They're living from paycheck to paycheck. Man were they snookered.
But we're supposed to stay quiet for fear of pissing them off.
The Senate Judiciary Committee exists to ask questions. You can be civil or...
What's going to happen when the left starts to behave just like the right?
Watch out!
P.S. No matter what happens, anything bad will be blamed on Biden and the Democrats.
P.P.S. I mean if I acted this way at the DINNER TABLE, my father would have reached over and hit me. If you act like Bondi did today at the corporation, you lose your job! What lesson is being taught here? And, once again, you can act this way and I can't? Do you think if you keep saying the problem is Antifa and the woke mob on the left that that will make Democrats cower? It's a witch hunt, and today the witch flew in on her broom and tried to cast her spell, but...magic is a ruse, and boorishness will get you nowhere.
