"Treasure Ship" - Pirates, Space Marines, and the most valuable substance in the known galaxy...

Not only did Trump foment insurrection in attempt to overthrow our democracy, he has consistently undermined the election process, while clearly being under the influence of a foreign power.

"I know you are, but what am I?" is not a valid defense, any more than "just following orders" would be.

More turds floating in the Swamp.

Between Citizens United, the Criminal in Chief, and lobbyists who have always led Congress around by their wallets, we have the most corruptible government in American history.

2026 may be the last chance to show votes matter more than $$$.

Vote well and impeach.

Open bribery and corruption normalized by Trump and MAGA. They're dumping sewage into "the swamp" and then wallowing in their own filth.

Trump convinced people gov't employees, bureaucracy, and regulations were the problem in order to remove oversight and checks and balances and defraud America.

Turns out Hitler may have had a micropenis and undescended testicles. That isn't shocking at all.

I wonder if he had small hands, too? 🤔

My first personalized rejection. It's a win...ish.

"Choosing stories is a subjective process, and we have to reject many well-written stories.

We liked the narrative voice here, but we wanted a stronger sense of plot and stakes from the outset... it felt more like a smaller part of a larger work."

I don't understand why she didn't just show up to work. Stand outside that corrupt turd's office every day. Sit at her desk in the chamber. Force them to have the Sergeant at Arms drag her out...

If we had nothing else confirmed this week, it's that the left are a bunch of wimps.

And so MAGA wins.

The parallels between eastern Ukraine and Putin and the Sudetenland and Hitler, along with appeasement by European powers, are so painfully obvious that it shouldn't need a reminder.

Giving in to a tyrannical bully will only encourage him.

Punching him in the face? Well... Why not try it and see?

I hated working inside the Beltway.

I punched out to Afghanistan as soon as I could. 15 years, two warzones, three developing countries in Central Africa, and most days believing what I did mattered.

Only been back as a tourist since then.

It took Trump and MAGA to make it all feel tainted.

Imagine Trump is finally impeached, removed from office, and indicted for treason and criminal conspiracy to defraud the American people.

And then is found incompetent to stand trial due to mental defect - malignant narcissism, delusions, inability to understand the consequences of his actions...

64 years ago today, USAID was founded based on the idea that the U.S. could pursue foreign policy objectives while also doing good for other people.

USAID had the most Christian mission of any U.S. government entity: care for the sick, feed the hungry, provide for the stranger in need.

To be fair, it wasn't a "riot" perpetrated by a "mob."

A riot is unorganized chaos. A mob runs into a store to buy the newest Labubu.

January 6th was premeditated, organized treason inspired by a criminal illegally hanging on to power.

The lack of proper sentences for treason is the real problem.

The Justice Department placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they filed court papers calling the Jan. 6 Capitol siege a "riot" perpetrated by a "mob," three sources told CBS News.

I walked in looking for a Post Office.

It was like walking into a forest clearing and seeing a unicorn. A used bookstore, with the slightly musty smell of old paper, a hint of dust, and an undercurrent of dreams and memories.

I told the owner, "Best Post Office ever."

(Yes, they mail stuff, too.)

The most important lesson the left needs to learn if they want to defeat MAGA:

Democrats lost their working class base and became a party of elites pushing an extreme-left agenda.

After letting Trump claim the working class and losing 2 out of 3, Democrats need to focus on Main Street America.

Leave aside the ideology and false religion. Pretend they aren't racists and wannabe Nazis.

The sheer dumbfuckery, cataclysmic incompetence, and incessant buffoonery is amazing.

They're just bad at stuff. Can't govern. Can't do math or science. Can't form coherent sentences.

Who votes for idiots?
Ebola has a mortality rate anywhere from 40-80%, and now it can be prevented or treated because of a VACCINE and a treatment developed during a pandemic MAGA thinks was a leftist plot.

While in the middle of the outbreak, these idiots fired dozens of CDC outbreak responders, after gutting USAID.
Things Trump and the Lickspittles won't tell you:

Today is Day 1 of the countdown to the end of an Ebola outbreak.

This outbreak could be the shortest, with the least number of deaths, in the past decade because of the Ebola VACCINE and monoclonal antibody treatment originally developed for COVID.

I did it - got it down under 6,000 words and submitted it for publication.

I'm a little worried I cut out too much context and world-building, but we'll see how it goes.

Wish me luck!

A lot of people patting themselves on the back about No Kings.

What will be different?

Will unChristian Nationalists repent at church on Sunday?

Will the government reopen on Monday?

Will ICE stop pursecuting immigrants?

Will Trump surrender to answer for his crimes?

No?

One more thing, addendum:

I'm not saying don't protest today. I am saying:

Be prepared for violence, and for MAGA to spin it and use it to justify tyranny.

As long as the machine keeps running and money is still flowing into the hands of MAGA oligarchs and the Treasury, they still have control.
One more thing, ending:

Protesting on a Saturday is convenient.

Freezing the country in its tracks on a Tuesday? Watching markets collapse due to a general strike? No schools, no hospitals, no flights?

Until it hits the wallet, disrupts daily life, and causes more than inconvenience, well...
