Take-home Civics essay exam question: “In 500 words, explain the important differences between federalism & feudalism as political systems.”

Trump Is Failing. At nearly everything. He promised lower prices. Failed. Stop 2 wars on Day One. Failed. Impose universal tariffs. Failed. Annex Canada. Failed. Conquer LA. Failed. Invade Chicago, Portland. Failed. Prosecute enemies. Failed. “So much winning—make it stop!” Well, he did.🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey, Trump Voters! You voted in a coup. You don’t have rights now. Only those Stephen Miller allows. You see invasion of major cities by roving paramilitary gangs & nationalized out-of-state military. It’s funny until they come for you. And they will. It’s not too late. Join the Resistance.

Visitantes latinoamericanos: ¡Precaución! ¡Alto peligro! Cuidado con el Presidente Muy Demente. 🤪🙃🤤🤬😤

Dear America, You’ve had your own country for 250 years. And what have you done with it? Slaughtered native inhabitants, exploited black people & Asians, raped forests & grasslands, forced workers underground for your steel & skyscrapers, etc. You’re too immature & dangerous to have your own place.

Fringe vigilante groups like Moms 4 Liberty suppress books in schools & other public libraries because they don’t like their content. This is Munchhausen-style “censorship by proxy”—“I’m not injured, but I imagine poor innocent white children who might be.” They offer NO vetted research in support.

Mr President, who do you admire? Myself, mainly. And Putin. But Americans, sir. Who beside you? Oh. Dillinger. What a character! He’s still famous. And Manson. Incredible power to control others, they’d do anything. Roy Cohn. Vicious. But what a lawyer! He could sue the stink off a skunk.

RED-HAT MAGA FARMERS “FARM AROUND & FIND OUT” . . . That they are just another disposable minority. Oops.😳 LOL—who could have guessed THAT??🤣😆🤭😹 newrepublic.com/post/201317/...

AG Bondi to propose New DOJ motto Brown-noser extraordinaire Shamela Jo Bondi wants a new DOJ motto that fits its exciting new mission: “Qui Dominam Iustitiam nullo nisi metu aut praejudicio sequitur.” Which loosely translates as “Who follows Lady Justice with nothing but fear or prejudice.”

The Silent 25th Amendment Activation Now Trump disappears for days at a time. When he does appear, he is more disconnected & incoherent than ever. Most of his time is spent rolling out one $$ scam after another. Policy is being made by Miller & a handful of others. Trump is not in charge.

I have a new idea for the future when it comes to qualifying a candidate for President: YES or NO: Do you have 6 or more personal enemies? If “YES,” you are DISQUALIFIED from office.

NY Post interview w/ Howard Lutnick is mostly a bore. But the first 5 minutes are beyond creepy. He describes entering Epstein’s apartment & seeing a dining room with ONLY a massage table. It’s like The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Pure Evil. youtu.be/IP0KB2XC29o?...

1/ The public fails to get what’s happening to the economy. It’s undergoing a process of “virtualization.” Nearly all growth in last 3 years is accounted for by AI & crypto. That’s it. Construction & home formation are stalled or declining. Autos, trade & most other traditional mainstays also lag.

Pam Bondi isn’t a good lawyer. First she’s just plain dumb. Plus she doesn’t seem to know the law or how it works. Like the Comey prosecution—a trainwreck. She seems not to know that eventually someone else will be in at DOJ & that person may respect the law & give her the John Mitchell treatment.

We’re all supposed to get on board with the MAGA sanctification of Charlie Kirk. But he wasn’t a nice man, he said terrible things just to punk & troll his opponents & he advocated the kind of fascist dictatorship/theocracy we see here now. I won’t venerate him until we have St. Butt-Head first.

TRUMP TO MILITARY— “We want you to wage war on American civilians, OK?” “Oh, and one more thing: You have to do it without pay. My shutdown, you know. But leaders lead. Get your ranks in line to do the shooting, or I’ll sack the whole lot of you.” “Heil Trump!”

GOP vs. “Socialism”?🤣🤭 American Nazis—like Trump, Miller, Musk & all of MAGA—aren’t opposed to “Socialism.” They’re only opposed to Socialism for YOU. Their Big Budget-Buster Bill is larded with over $3 TRILLION in giveaways to the wealthy & corporations. And they want YOU to pay for it.

JD Vance & the White Privilege Mafia Vance is only a hillbilly in his book. He went to Yale. This gave him bona fides to join the White Privilege Mafia. Peter Thiel adopted him as a protégé. If he becomes POTUS, he’ll continue as Thiel’s sock-puppet. Thiel funded Vance’s Senate run. He owns him.

“The Art of War” This phrase conjures up for me images from Mei Lai, Hiroshima, the Marne, Wounded Knee, Vicksburg & more. It’s time to retire it. It needs to go the way of “rape artist”—vile verbiage we almost never hear now. Except in the White House.

“Fascism in America? Nazi stormtroopers on the streets of Chicago, Portland & our capital, Washington DC? Not on my watch. Who’s with me? In the words of my pal, Ben Grimm, IT’S CLOBBERING TIME!!”

“Hold on a minute. You’re breaking up. I can’t hear you. I’m putting you on PedoSpeaker now.”

Troops invade Portland OR Shutdown looms in 36 hours MEANWHILE . . . “Are you still talking about Epstein? He’s dead. I killed him, OK? What more do you want from me?”

“Do you own me or love me?“ I’ve been analyzing the strange mentality behind “Conservative” politics. It comes to Love vs. Dominion. The Right’s entire impulse is toward control, ownership & dominion. “My way or the highway.” Progressivism is rooted in empathy, care & love. Choose your world:

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK— AND BACK . . . AND BACK AGAIN. . .

Anyone else find this photo disturbing? 🇺🇸President of PedoNation🇺🇸 “He’s so Great with Children!”🤗

On Ari Melber’s show, he contrasted Nixon’s crimes vs Trump. I worry it wasn’t clear. Try an analogy: Trinity was 20 kilotons, an atom bomb. Modern nukes are 20 megatons or so, hydrogen bombs. Nixon was an atom bomb, constitutionally. Trump is an H-bomb, 1000x worse. Will that make him proud?🤔

Is it just me or is it really weird & very telling that our US govt has a Cruella de Vil look-a-like for spy chief & an FBI Director who looks like a classic Scooby-Doo villain? Looks aren’t everything, but let’s not ignore the obvious, eh?🤔

Many see the Comey prosecution as an aberration from GOP orthodoxy. It’s not. Revenge has been a keynote of GOP politics for decades. Nixon was payback for Goldwater’s humiliation. Reagan for Nixon’s. Trump was his own revenge for Obama out-classing him. This is who they are. At the bone. Evil.

Checkmate? Oligarchs‘ view is they OWN us. They bought the govt. Plus, everything we have, they gave us—jobs, income, loans, homes etc. Our money is theirs, and they expect it all back—in govt contracts, our consumption, etc. You think I’m lying? See the CHART. bsky.app/profile/shaf...

Very best outcome we can expect from the GOP government takeover is 4 years will be completely wasted on crank science & Trump vendettas. When we have no time to waste addressing real problems & dangers. Instead of the IRS, you could as well flush your tax $$ in the toilet. The worst is . . .😱🤯😩

Originally, large corporations like RCA wanted to monopolize everything, equipment to programming & broadcast stations. Congress passed laws to prevent that, specifically to keep one or two broadcasters from owning most or all the stations. Now we have Sinclair & Nexstar. How did that happen?

If you’re still not angry yet, take a look at this chart. And remember that for them, it’s still not enough. bsky.app/profile/sean...

October 1 US Govt will SHUT DOWN without a Bill to fund it. It’s Yom Kippur on the Jewish religious calendar, the Day of Atonement. Has the GOP Junta done things for which they must atone? What if the PEOPLE demanded atonement? Left work, stopped buying, filled the streets? STRIKE!!

Here’s the interview question I want Trump asked: “Jeffrey Epstein was your close friend. He died by suicide in jail. Now you’re president. Do you wish he’d held on so you could pardon him along with the Jan 6ers & other victims of the Biden regime?”

Trump & the Ineluctable Ingenuity of Criminality Hegel thought history was driven by an inherent tendency of human intellect. Trump, a mediocrity of limited ability, learned early in life affirmative achievement would never be his. So he turned to crime. The rest is history.

BRENDAN CARR IS A NAZI He operates as Propaganda Minister, flushing public broadcast wavelengths of content critical of Boss Trump or the Extreme Right in general. We own this bandwidth. It should not be used to promote Nazi propaganda over media monopolies like Sinclair with content like this:

And we thought they had NINE lives.😢 youtube.com/shorts/lfoCV...

A Satire Sample (the rest on Substack) “The King’s Ire” “Bring me the head of that Stephen Colbert! I’ll be revenged on him finally, I swear!” His retainers did as His Highness them bid. The First Amendment they gladly undid. open.substack.com/pub/shafawnn...

What makes fascist authoritarians and their minions so dangerous? When they look at the democratic opposition, they think, “These mofos are just like me. They want to kill me and take everything I have.”

People forget who the Rich really are. They think everything here is THEIRS & the rest of us are sponging off them. Your wages, your benefits, your house, your property—none of this would happen if not for THEM. And they want it all back. NOW. youtu.be/M2gvY2wqI7M?...

Just a reminder: Colbert & Kimmel are just the beginning. In case you never watched “V for Vendetta” (or read the graphic novel) THIS is where we’re headed.⬇️ youtube.com/shorts/lrjFf...

The End of Legacy Media? Kimmel’s firing is more than politics. Late night is hosted by gray-haired white males. Not a growth demographic. TV is too slow & passive for digital natives. Content must be interactive & fast-twitch. Ads are a time desert only seasoned frontier types can survive.🏜️🌵🐪

In the Crash of 1929 Wall Street financiers threw themselves out high-rise windows. Things are different now. They won’t be doing that this time. They will serve the economic poison to the rest of us & we’re expected to drink it. Bottoms up!🥂😵‍💫

Common refrain across rural America this harvest season:

MAGA Florida—Formerly “The Sunshine State.“ Now “The Cockroach Paradise.” Hurricanes, sea level rise flooding, Down-Turn Donald & Rob’em Blind Ron. What’s next?🤔 youtu.be/jghX6BZPFU0?...

How To Cook A Holocaust 1-Decry psychiatry as witch-doctory. 2-Defund state-supported mental heath. 3-Obtain court rulings against homeless (30% rate severe mental illness). 4-Declare homeless as threat to safety of cities. 5-Call for internment & “involuntary lethal injections.” Nazi enuff yet?
