Even the Corruption is Corrupt

Wait and see. Trump's latest gambit will blow up in his face. He'll screw his partners in crime, the way he always has. He's not even a reliable, competent criminal. And he'll get lots of people killed. He doesn't care. It makes him feel like a big man. 

Donnie and Bibi Make Boom-Boom

I wonder what Donnie did. He seems so desperate. Bibi has a better excuse. But he's still desperate. 

Full Metal Blankie

Trump thinks he's impervious. But his defense isn't an impenetrable shell it's a security blanket. 

Moron Makes War

Or is he more a madman?  

Riders on the Stürm

What can we say. It defies description. We went from being defined as what the Nazis weren't to being Nazis. Overnight it seemed, but that can't have been the case. We had a Nazi contingent all along. A minority but they somehow took over anyway. The way the Nazis did. It will be our own version but it's getting entrenched. Fast. I fear it's unstoppable now. 

Always the Outsider

The world's richest people, certainly the Americans, are mostly on board with Trump and the Republicans' pillaging of the planet. It's their playground, apparently, and we're appurtenances. We're playthings, hirelings and furniture. Maintenance people, maybe. 

But somehow they're outsiders. Outsiders no matter how much power and control they have. How can this be? It seems to be structural, persistent and assumed. I think because they are in fact outsiders because they're parasites. They're like a crime cartel or mafia. 

Trump Goon Infests Olympic Celebration

Trump goon Kash Patel crashed the American hockey team's gold-medal, locker-room celebration. It will be remembered. Of all the people in the world to let in there. Maybe a dentist. Kash gooned it up as a clueless, low-character guy might but not one in his post, one would hope. Hope not when it comes to Trump goons. The Olympics were looking good up until then. American team diverse as hell. A little politics from the athletes. Vance got appropriately booed. The summer games are going to be a mess. 

ICE Olympics

Trump must have hated the Olympics. All that feel-good inclusion. Actual competition without cheating -- anathema. I remember one outburst then he went quiet. 

My sources tell me Trump and Noem and the usual suspects are planning an ICE Olympics of real men throwing down on some ingrate immigrants. 

And throwing down some of those ingrate, brown-skinned, supposed illegals. Throwing down, as in smashing someone to the ground, is an event. And handcuffing. 

Choking and head-smashing. It will be like a rodeo. Brown people chased around an arena and subdued and manacled, roped and handled like a calf or other animal.

The grand finale will have to involve children. Maybe a bunch, 50 or so, turned loose in the arena and competitors on horses chasing them around with lassos.

Vlad the Entertainer

I mean Trump. Trump the salesman is Trump the vampire. A salesman with no product is a scammer, a predator and a parasite. He hawks inhumanity. No conscience, no worry. Become a drone. A bot.

Trump is the end taker -- of life. An undertaker. He kills or enlists converts into gangs of sub-vampires. He set these legions of blood-sucking murderers, his satanic hoard, on the world. And made a show of it.

Fade into Me

Trump's message is lose your soul to me and you'll be free. Yeah, free from your humanity. Free from your conscience. Free from being free. 

Consumers of the World, Unite!

You have nothing to lose but your shit. 

Bad Bunny Revenge

Everybody loves Bad Bunny. Everybody despises Trump. So he's going to bomb Mexico. Bomb somebody. Makes perfect sense.

Once Upon a Time in the Shithole

Trump is too old, but I think somebody is coming after somebody the way Charles Bronson came after Henry Fonda in 'Once Upon a Time in the West'. Too much evil has been done. Whoever made that movie, wrote the plot or whatever, saw some shit coming. 

The Bronx Boomer

Trump's a boomer. And he goes 'boom!' He blows up, with varying degrees of collateral damage. This time we all go 'boom' with him. That's his legacy. 

Hero of the Battle of Epstein Island

Donald Trump, lover of honors, awards and accolades, is hereby declared the Hero of the Battle of Epstein Island by the American Association of Pedophiles, Perverts, Sex Pests, Child Pornographers and Pigs for his successful thwarting of the prosecution of the persons involved in child rape with Jeffrey Epstein. 

Elect Me

Send me to Washington as your representative and I'll stand up and tell all the Republicans in Congress they're treasonous pieces of shit. I'll encourage all my Democratic colleagues to do the same. I will no doubt be censured and probably expelled if I keep it up. But what difference will that make? 

None. Our votes mean nothing.

Forced to defend myself I'll offer proof they are treasonous pieces of shit, assert First Amendment rights, and argue that it's impossible to capture what's going on in the country without such language. I will never back down. If I get booted out I'll insist on a replacement who will do the same thing. 

They want a fight. Let's give them one. For a change. 

Trump in a Tutu: Messages from the Unconscious

(this was written in 2020)

I believe that messages from the unconscious appear in dreams and in waking images that arise without any obvious stimulus. I also believe that some people have integrated primitive, unconscious drives into their lives in healthier ways and with less resistance because they are more open to it and because they believe those drives to be less shameful and, to some extent, even good. 

Fundamentalists and puritanical utopians are more likely to practice denial and frustration because they think that matter and "the flesh" are inherently base and sinful and only capable of leading one down into a pit of sin where they frolic with Satan. I, on the other hand, think that matter and "the flesh" and attendant frolics therein are good and part of a healthy emotional and spiritual life. 

Politically, the puritanical crowd has won the day and so denial is our prevailing ethic and assorted variations on toe-tapping behavior are the result. The puritanical utopians are in a hopeless quandary only resolved by dying, their release from the miasma of the material world. In the meantime they struggle horribly with the bonds of their humanity and imperfection and frequently run astray.

They are stuck in a body and existence they despise and so, when they fall, they usually fall hard into all kinds of sinful behavior, the baser the better, and learn nothing from it. They have no compassion for their own humanity because they hate it and even less for that of others because theirs is as apparent to them as their own is not. This is a sick-ass and self-destructive approach to life. 

Trump represents this unintegrated id and so it's understandable that he would provoke strong reactions in the underlying consciousnesses of others. He's stirring up some dark stuff. So I will begin a list of images occurring to me that seem to capture something essential about Trump, though they resist explication and understanding. I will list those here which seem symbolically true:

1. Trump in a tutu
