The Orangutan-in-chief has polling numbers in the toilet. House Republicans are nervous about losing their seats this fall. Prices are going up, conumer confidence is down, and an unnecessary war in the Middle East continues to drain our country's finances.
And yet - there are still Republican politicians willing to lick his fetid taint. Goddess knows why... Look at what Senator John Cornyn (R-TX)
is trying to do:
Texas Sen. John Cornyn ®, who is in a tight reelection contest to keep his Senate seat, introduced legislation on Tuesday to dedicate a highway to President Trump.
“I am proud to introduce legislation to rename US Highway 287 as Interstate 47 in honor of our 47th President,” Cornyn wrote in a social media post.
um... wut? Not only is this gross, it also contradicts the naming convention for the interstates. Cornyn is defending his seat against TX state governor Abbott, who has accused Cornyn of being "Ant-Trump". Apparently, he needs to do a reach-around while licking his fetid taint.
This insane fealty isn't limited to Republicans though. Senator John Fetterman (DINO-PA)
voted with Republicans to advance Pedo McYamTits' Fed board of governors:
Two Democratic Senators on Monday joined Republicans in voting to advance the nomination of Kevin Warsh to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, backing President Trump’s nominee for chair of the Fed.
The upper chamber voted to advance Warsh’s nomination to the Fed’s board, setting him up to be confirmed in the coming days to replace Jerome Powell, whose term expires on Friday.
Warsh’s nomination was advanced in a 49-44 vote, with Sens. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.) being the only Democrats to cross the aisle and no Republicans voting against moving the nominee forward.
Something broke inside him. What a disappointment.
All of this has caused quite a few of us to fantasize about leaving for less insane pastures.
We're not alone:
Americans appear to be leaving the U.S. at once-in-a-century levels, fleeing divisive politics and a cost of living crisis.
In 2025, the flow of Americans ditching the 50 states for good caused the first estimated net outward migration of the U.S. population in decades, something that likely hasn’t happened since the 1929 Great Depression.
“Previously, the Americans leaving were super-adventurous and well-credentialed,” Jen Barnett, founder of the resettlement consultancy firm Expatsi, told The Wall Street Journal. “Now they’re ordinary people, like me.”
In 2024, Barnett joined in the trend, relocating to Yucatán, Mexico.
The term "rats fleeing a sinking ship" comes to mind. Despite all the outcry over "illegal" immigrants, our country's population is actually
decreasing. That this level of population decline hasn't been seen since 100 years ago, says all you need to know about how the average American feels about the toddler dictator.
One hopes the Republican party takes notice and grows a spine. I am not hopeful about that happening.
