Monday, May 12, 2025:  Trump - Stupid On Steroids

Part 1: Standing up for the rights of innocent Gazans who are being slaughtered by the thousands is not antisemitism. Antisemitism is "discrimination, prejudice, hostility or violence against Jews as Jews", not criticizing the government of Israel. The Trump administration is using its power to arrest and detain innocent people using the guise that they are antisemites. It is just one of many Trump deceptions that distracts from his real agenda – to line his and his family's bank accounts with both foreign and domestic Ill-gotten gains.

Part 2: The Trump administration is neck deep in stupid. Our MAGA dominated government confirms that ignorance and incompetence at the very top of an organization breeds even worse ignorance and incompetence all the way down the organization chart. The Republicans in office were elected by stupid and they govern by stupid. We have a country whose government leadership consists of people whose only qualifications are that they can be as ugly, hateful, and ignorant as Trump. The best case scenario for the next four years is that we simply drift into being a non-player in the world of politics and economics. But more likely, there will be some massive international meltdown or war that will set the world back economically, socially, and politically at the end of which, we as a country will be relegated to a has been. The economic impact on Americans will be the loss of the standard of living we've come to enjoy. The gap between the rich and the rest of us will widen to the point where there will no longer be a middle class.


Thursday, May 1, 2025:  The Hundred Days of Hell With More To Come

True to his ilk, Trump has wreaked havoc on the world during his first 100 days in office and is well on his way of making America into a 3rd world banana republic albeit without the bananas. Trump is an incompetent asshole and the embodiment of consummate evil. Like in his life and his business dealings, he fucks up everything.

His approval ratings are lower than any other former president at this point in their term and that polling includes Fox news. But he does really give a shit? He believes that he is untouchable and thanks to the Supreme Court, that is partially true. Actually I think he sees himself as a Pharaoh. The oval office is now a trashy gold display of his poor taste. Staff meetings have red baseball caps with some tacky saying on them and every cabinet member must lavish bullshit praise on him at the start of any cabinet meeting.

We have already reached a point where the damage Trump has done to our country and our democracy is permanent. In a gathering in Michigan he said that he had just gotten started. So we can expect more of the same. In the meantime our enemies are absolutely relishing every moment and calculating the date when they will take us out.

So, I want to thank very person who voted for this jerk and every elected Republican for destroying our country and our democracy. Trump may be doing the damage, but you folks made it possible. You had the opportunity, the power, and the right to stop this asshole and you chose to do nothing.
