"Victory 45-47" You too can smell like TOM

 

July 2, 2025 (163/1461)

TOM must be resting up in anticipation of having to stomp over to the House and bust some chops and “make some deals.”  Things are relatively quiet on the TOM front. Overshadowed by the looming July 4 deadline to pass the Bully’s Big Bill. “Republican leaders in the House are sprinting toward a Wednesday vote on President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cuts package, determined to seize momentum from a hard-fought vote in the Senate while essentially daring members to defy their party’s leader and vote against it. It’s a risky gambit designed to meet Trump’s demand for a July 4 finish.” The vote may actually get tanked by none other than Mother Nature. Apparently if you sack NOAA, she doesn’t like it. “Republicans have been holding open a vote on a procedural matter for more than 90 minutes, as they wait for weather-delayed lawmakers to return to Washington.”

Or maybe he’s quiet because he’s been brewing up his latest new venture. Trump Cologne. Yup. “President Donald Trump, who has promoted Trump-branded sneakers, guitars, coins and watches, on Monday announced a new addition to his personal line of merchandise.

The latest product to bear the president's name is "Trump Fragrances," Trump-branded perfume and cologne that costs $249.

The fragrances, called "Victory 45-47" are "all about Winning, Strength, and Success," Trump wrote on social media Monday evening.” Who the F wants to smell like TOM? Obviously quite a few people do. “According to a financial disclosure report released in June, Trump last year made $2.5 million from Trump sneakers and fragrances.”

And in the perfect example of putting the inmates in charge of the prison (kinda literally), TOM has put a pardoned Jan 6’er in charge of the investigation into the Jan 6 investigations (and “weaponization”). “A former FBI agent charged in the Capitol riot is now helping lead a Justice Department group investigating alleged overreach in that very probe. Jared L. Wise, a former FBI agent indicted on felony charges related to the January 6 Capitol riot, now serves as a counselor and investigator in the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group. Body camera and surveillance footage captured Wise shouting “Kill ’em!” multiple times as rioters attacked police on the Upper West Terrace. He also compared officers to Nazi Gestapo agents, declaring “Shame on you!” and raising his arms in triumph after breaching the Capitol. Wise remained inside for roughly nine minutes before exiting through a broken window.” Gee, do you think he’s a bit tainted on the subject? Do you think he can remain impartial and provide credible counsel to the group? Uh huh. And I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
