Finally, Saddam Trump might deserve it. Republicans, the FATH* party, will try to carry on killing. They love killing. But there will be a huge lapse in the power of hate in the world when Trump dies. That deserves to be recognized. Hail Trump! Thank you for dying. The best thing, the only decent thing, you ever did, ridding us of you. The world is finally united, in relief.
* Fuck America To Hell
Has anyone tried burping Trump? He's old, he's ornery, he's overweight. We have to try it. I might be mixing his emotional age in with things, since in aspects he's stuck in infancy and babies need burping or they can get cranky. Trump is cranky all the time. The reasoning is solid.
Who, for Christ's sake, would elect such a person? That was an aside.
It's hard to imagine how this wretch became president. Anyway, he looks gaseous as hell. That's evidence. Somebody try it. Be vigorous. Smack him on the back. Strange to think such a thing might mean life or death for millions. Might already have, Trump's dyspepsia and bloating.
He hovers and moves like the Hindenburg. Burp the shit out of him.
I don't give a shit about the machines and their capabilities. Well I do, in a positive way when they're used to do good. But fuck the people who use them for ill. And they seem to be everywhere.
The problem isn't Trump, if it ever was. He's fucked it up royally, again. The American casino is bankrupt. There's no daddy to bail him out. Run, Trump, run.
He's his own banker, courtesy of crypto. We're at that stage when Trump goes bust and weasels his way out. He grabs the money, as much as he can, and runs.
Donald Trump, Quixote from Queens, is actually attacking windmills. Real ones and imagined. The windmills are fighting back. And they're winning.
Tell gun nuts guns are the problem and they will shoot at you. They say people are the problem. They proved both. Guns are the constraint.
Gun nuts are also the problem. Only people with guns shoot people. Let them choose. Regulate guns or regulate gun nuts. Either is fine with me.
The world is learning from us. Electing your Id to run your country is not a good move. You can thank us later if we're still around.
Democrats have got to go big if they have the chance. Nothing piecemeal. Declare Trump's entire stint as president, both terms, illegitimate. He impeached himself, if with a bunch of abettors. Blow the whole fucking thing up. The Republican Party is the Confederacy. Traitors. The South has risen again. The stench of death is everywhere.
Maybe if we celebrated morons, gave them their due, they wouldn't try to rise up, take over, and get us all killed. Just a thought.
Donald Trump is at war with the world, in revenge for being born. He's that damaged. He has allies, firstly an extreme, life-hating bunch of feral Calvinists that hate creation. Pentecostals. Somewhat unbelievably they are joined by a group of tech tycoons who have become catastrophists.
They think societal collapse will play out well for them, never mind the carnage. They don't care. The tech tycoons are like brains suspended in a medium as was portrayed in a Star Trek episode. Alienation unites these factions in a war of the worlds. Life against Death. Love against Hate.
Existence against non-existence, when it's modeled out, but not all of them will own it. The Calvinists might. They really hate everything. The corruption and imperfection of creation as they experience it makes them all mad, both pissed and crazy, so in both those senses of the word.
Not to be discouraging but this is it. We didn't choose it but we are thrust into a battle of good against evil. The world of life against the world of death. Intelligibility against chaos. Cooperation against convulsion. We are called on to resist in an epic and battle that looks like bathos from the inside.
Third-rate characters like Trump. Even our villains suck but they kill you anyway. Satan is driving a clown car, but it's still fatal as hell. They will destroy everything and kill us by the billions and never look back. Big numbers are nothing to them or they like them. Psychopaths think big.
I can usually understand what Trump is trying to say, it’s just elliptical as shit. Lots of bits left out, but the guy is in his own world and not very smart, only driven to win and self-centered to such an extreme it probably would take a psychic or savant to comprehend it and they might not come back intact.
In the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy there's a thing called the total perspective vortex that destroys you by enabling you to glimpse how REALLY insignificant you are for a split-second. Trump is the opposite, a total lack-of-perspective vortex. Inside there the universe is Trump. And Trump is the universe.
Trump scammed himself. Unable to maintain his identity, weakly linked to reality on his best days, he has fallen for his own lies and is buying his own bullshit. Believing is madness, buying-in a catastrophe. We know from the study of the southern belle. Bellehood.
It's a role. You play a role. You play the game. Don't step inside it, for fuck's sake, but no one can accuse Trump of any sense. I defer to authority, Shirley Abbott, in Womenfolks: Growing Up Down South. The point of a belle is to become a lady. God help you if you fail.
Trump failed. Trump wanted to be prom queen. He got elected. He gloried in it. Things began to go wrong. Wrong by his standard, magical compliance with his every wish, Trump being infantilized beyond recovery. He felt disrespected. Heads must roll.
The stage of retribution arrives. Vengeance. Think of the movie Carrie. And the correspondents dinner, where Obama made fun of Trump. Everyone gets it at those things, but Donald is different. Très fragile. Trump fumed. He was livid. He brings it on himself.
Nobody makes fun of Trump! What a fucking idiot. We all must pay. So this is our country now. Watch the revenge scenes from Carrie on your own. Choose your version, it all burns down. This is Trump's story and the story of the south. The south wanted its dream.
They needed to live the lie. Failure was unthinkable. Failure was growing up, the end of a vile system, voluntarily or otherwise. Otherwise it was. Still, they never gave up. The presentation of purity and innocence masked astonishing debasement and corruption.
The USA now, with the monster, Trump, our embodiment and bastion of purity. He carries the torch. The scepter. He wears the sash, Miss USA, Miss World, Miss Galaxy, Miss Cosmos, whatever he claims. The magic wand of lies and corruption makes it real.
But it's not real. It's nothing but lies.
I envision a remake of The Music Man telling the story of Trump, a trickster, fraudster and hustler who concludes he is every outrageous, self-inflating lie he tells about himself. He falls for himself, or the idea and invention of himself because there's nothing there. Language fails us but I think we can portray it, as a matter of art. Love, for example, can't exist within the gravitational pull of Trump's egotism.
I know, hard to get your head around. Trump is alone in the universe.
Trump's self-centeredness -- again, language fails but work with me -- creates a draft, vortex or suction of such ridiculous force it swallows people instantly into the black hole of Trump's nothingness. We can't imagine it without reference to something or without meaning attached to it but we have to get past that. Meaning doesn't exist in proximity to Trump. How the fuck do we portray that?
With negative space. We can infer the shape and substance of Trump from his effects, and the area of devastation around him.
The things we value, love, family, our health, connection with nature, security, beauty, vanish into the void encountering Trump's influence. Their lack defines Trump. Vampire elements are in play, but vampires are intelligible. Reason, ethics, right and wrong -- vaporize on contact with Trump. Trump is a void. The currency among people is meaning, in my opinion. It's not the currency with Trump.
Trump is an invitation to abandon your humanity and assimilate with him in the void. As I say, impossible to confront directly. I try to imagine Trump's aloneness. Truly, he is alone in the universe. Nothing means anything. Everything is terrifying and incomprehensible. Or, he doesn't know what intelligibility is. He's never experienced it. The fear is unfathomable, existential and all-consuming.
He is so incredibly fucking alone. Now, to give you an example of a song, there might be a version of this some maiden sings to Trump before her humanity is destroyed, and then Trump singing a version 'Till There Was Me' after annihilating the maiden, which Trump sings to himself.

Democrats can't get their heads out of their asses. They humored the crazies too long. No, the Second Amendment isn't about the private ownership of firearms. It just isn't. Unprejudiced sources agree, nine of ten, at least. Hillary, stop saying you have a gun. Or a license, or whatever. You're not pulling it off. And I'm tired as shit of it, Democrats playing to the nutcases.
That helps them stay nutcases. And that's only one issue. The list is long, maybe most impressively on defense. The military. Guess who Republicans are attacking now? Anybody they want, including American citizens. And we didn't take a stand, so people don't know what the fuck we're for. Maybe Bernie. But the Democrats wouldn't have him, or get clear on anything.
Why don't they just call him Lord Vader. Darth would do. Republicans are under a spell. In a cult. Part of a robot army. Call in the exorcist.
This had to happen. If we didn't know it before we know it now, that America has an undercurrent of evil going back to slavery, racism and a creed of greed, a religion of money and power that grew in parallel with Pentecostal Christianity. We never dealt with it. Those forces have risen up and are running the show. Calling it evil is not exaggerating. It is evil. They are evil. We, the opposition, hesitate to say it but we can because we are not tribalists and an identity cult. Which means we criticize behaviors.
They can became un-evil. Someone can't became un-black or un-brown. That's the identity cult. We are being forced to own our evil. That's good. Canada is a model. Scandinavia is a model. Hell, the rest of the traditionally western, European countries are models in comparison with us. We made it easy. Trump is evil but he's sick. He's a compulsive. Non-compos by a normal standard. Lord Vader, Darth Donald, still a tool. We need to deal with the Death Star. The fatalities are rolling in. The bell is tolling for us.
Trump has exposed the scam of conservatism. They inhabit the upside-down. Where rugged individualists, the leaders and producers, need to have everyone get out of the way and yield. Though supposedly strong and unstoppable they must be unimpeded in their plunder or everything will fall apart.
In the upside-down the most powerful people, the super-rich, aren't rewarded enough and must have more. The dominant religious group, Christians and especially conservative Christians, are persecuted. They are disrespected and denied free expression. They must have recognition as the state religion.
White people are subject to prejudice. They are threatened and everyone else must go. Money and power, which conservatives already have, are their own justification. By divine right or natural law, take your pick. The status quo, which favors conservatives, is sacred. It must not be challenged.
The law and prisons protect these interests from the rabble. That underclass, most of humanity, are a burden. Sometimes a nuisance. They are tolerated if required for their labor or as soldiers or servants and enforcers, but they are otherwise disposable. Technology is making them useless.
They had better behave and revere their masters or they will be eliminated. God is on the side of conservatives and probably a conservative Himself. Times have changed, it's hard to say. But power is an expression of divine will, in the way the universe is made. Play your part or you will be removed.
Fantastically spoiled, vindictive narcissist Donald Trump has ruined the nation's big birthday. He did everything wrong but mostly it was partisanship and his huge, pathetic, insatiable ego. No one can imagine him behaving otherwise. It is who he is.
Trump's July 4th festival is as it had to be, a celebration of America's demise and the triumph of the Confederacy. Private property defined the Confederacy. Black people can show up to public stuff.
It was always about exclusion. Trump's turnout, and everything else, heralds the new way. Nothing is ours. It's theirs, the people who own it. The people who own us. Every day it's more literally true.
I knew Catholics were accused of idolatry and superstition by some Protestants. Of being degraded and undignified. Of misunderstanding how God had made us, as reasoning beings, and of what God wanted and expected from us, as reasoning beings and uniquely as an element of creation.
Who are the idolators now? Who's superstitious and degraded? Who is bowing before a charlatan and a buffoon who clads everything he can get his hands on in gold and has grifted his way through a life of preying on everyone he could, sometimes apparently for sport. Those Protestants.
People need balance. They need reason and they need a place for story and imagination. The senses must be engaged. Those Protestants were deprived of Christian art. Rich religious experiences that were emotionally and humanly satisfying. So they fell for shit. They fell for Trump.
And they fell from grace in the bargain. Since it's a bargain they made with the devil.
Build it and they will come. The virtual prison of Calvinism, believing life and creation are a shit interruption in the existence of your perfect, pure, immortal and immaterial soul, argues for a physical manifestation as a reflection of God's goodness. Hence a Republican incarceration fixation. Hence the love of prisons, brutal and arbitrary detainment since it embodies God's perversion, in sticking you in a body in the first place.
God's way, in other words, is the path of cruelty. To keep sin in check, I suppose, and to curb fleshly desires. We're incarcerated in creation so why not. Why not jail everybody. And why not drill down, define it and refine it so there's an ecosystem of incarceration. And nothing else, with wonderful hierarchies of pain and persecution. Anybody thinking about what might happen if, by some miracle, rational, decent people get control again?
Mike Johnson's nightmare. He's pissing his pants over it. Why? They all deserve jail. He knows it. So, back to the question, what do we do when, what, maybe a third of the country ought to be in jail, both for past transgressions and because they will never stop with the criminal intent? They walked away at the end of WWII, many committed Nazis and war criminals. They walked from the Civil War, too many traitors and racist assholes.
Where did that get us? Same shit all over again.
What would be justice for perps Miller, Vought and Trump? There would need to be thousands of each of them, punished and tortured forever. Still not enough. This applies to the Republicans in Congress. They created the mess, made themselves convicts. Sentencing is superfluous. They convicted themselves. I don't have an answer. Justice can't be had. Mercy hasn't worked. That's where we are, assuming we have an opportunity to do anything.
I lost my composure for over 50 years. It was a hell of a realization. I don't know where you go from there.
Republican hate is going live, less processed and more immediate, overt and aggressive. We have a true Nazi outbreak on our hands.
Reading a little about the artifacts of the Mughal Empire, including such as the Taj Mahal, made me think of course about Trump's physical legacy, in buildings and grounds, and how it will be utter shit. Nobody is going to want it. We will have to tear it all down.
Near to the core of the conservative scam is their persecution complex. This is connected to the FEELING and belief they are inexplicably, arbitrarily and irreducibly better than everyone else. So they should always get their way and be showered with rose petals while trammeling us.
Nothing in their environment should make them uncomfortable. Evangelicals and rich people both believe in this, in the one instance having been chosen and favored by God and in the other through Social Darwinism, also a kind of godly favor, so we should let them have their way.
The implosion of the United States is epochal. We're proving, finally, that humanity is hopeless. In the past the excuse that competition for resources and a struggle for survival caused all the conflict and horrible behavior was plausible. Not in the case of the United States.
The most fortunate country ever is destroying itself out of stupidity and a hatred of life. Not interpersonal or tribal malice but a contempt for existence. One-off, irreproducible circumstances of insane good fortune haven't produced a more kind and just society. It's produced pigs.
So it was never circumstantial. The murderous wars and barbarity were chosen. Societies could have opted for cooperation. And they did at times but it always ultimately got used for competitive advantage and wanton destruction. We know it because America is doing it now.
We had a summer of love, years ago. I predict 2026 we will be the summer of hate, courtesy of Donald Trump and Republicans. Fight against it, people. It won't be enough but do it anyway. Practice love.
I can't imagine anything having to do with JD Vance not being sick. His marriage must be sick as shit. Vance believes in wives as submissives. If Usha is a helpmeet and submissive it's sick as shit. If she isn't what the fuck is she doing with him?
And she's pregnant. I suspect that's Vance being fertile as a show of something, for the cultists. He's in a cult and fertility is a part of it. This is some sick shit. Usha is a Hindu. It's possible they faint or fall over in the face of evil as peaceful resistance.
Like a possum, total passivity. Good luck with that. It has never worked but nothing has. Sometimes evil wins. Innocent people die by the millions. The perps mostly go unpunished because there is too many of them. When evil wins it's a contagion.
Sometimes it's obvious. When evangelical Christians get hysterical over 'Sharia Law' as though that's likely to replace the American legal system it's because they're in direct competition. Evangelicals want a totalitarian theocratic state.
Similarly with Trump and algae.
Trump is a mindlessly reproductive entity spreading the brain software virus or bacterium of MAGA. We've seen how it explodes in populations that aren't inoculated with the ability to think critically. So Trump is terrified of algae.
When you're as fucked up as Trump messages emerge from the unconscious and have to be deciphered and interpreted. Recall that in the story of Narcissus the mirroring is a reflection, his reflection, in water. And the Washington Monument, an obelisk, is basically a big dick.
So there's something going on with Trump and his dick. Or, and this is where interpretation comes in, the dick might represent Trump, at possibly different metaphorical levels and with a range to it. We know he's sick, physically ill, but they won't tell us what's going on. Prostate, perhaps?
In which case treatment might have shrunk his dick which was probably hard for him to see anyway because of bloat. Or it might be the usual thing with Trump, that he's fucked everything up again unbelievably, so that's another insult to his manhood, maybe more devastating.
The whole world is watching him flail around. After insulting Italy Trump was branded 'coglione' which Wiktonary translates as idiot, fool, dipshit, and dumbfuck, the primitive meaning being 'ball-sack' which I like though there's much material there to be mined. Italian insults are rich.
Anyway, Trump would be unconsciously destroying the reflecting pool to avoid confronting challenges to his manhood. He's trying not to see his dick so he can maintain some swagger in his mind when in fact he's failing spectacularly. Stay away from the reflecting pool, by the way.
Trump has become unbelievably sensitive about it. You might be arrested. It equates to seeing Trump naked and possibly full-frontal as though anyone wants that. We just want him to go the fuck away. The whole world wants him to go the fuck away, but we'll see who he insults today.
Trump can out-asshole anybody. Or so we thought, maybe, come down to it. Trump's a pussy asshole, a nepo asshole and derivative. He didn't earn it, but was born into it. Opportunistically.
How hard was it, with the Trump millions and his cold mom and asshole mentor daddy, to achieve asshole supremacy? Netanyahu is something else, the real asshole deal, as Trump is finding out.
