Why is Trump afraid of the Epstein files? Did he rape little girls? Maybe. But wait…
Beyond the child slavery, Trump now stands to lose his GOP slaves, those who hate Trump’s power over them, who fear crossing the MAGA cult, they now have a righteous off-ramp — nobody likes a pedophile…Free at last!
Ladies and Gentlemen! The President of the United States!

Trump threw an extravagant, obscene Great Gatsby bash the night before The GOP was scheduled to kneecap federal SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans. Author Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby to explore the cruel nihilism created by 1920s income disparity. Ironic ain’t it?

We all know Trump is a wreck — congestive heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and dementia. Is the Phony Pharaoh building his own Pyramid?

Although he would love to be considered so, this Stephen Miller guy ain't no Goebbels. Yeah, Goebbels, the guy who murdered his wife and children in their last-ditch Nazi bunker. These pricks never last.

Trump humiliated America at the U.N. but not himself. Why? The Reptile-in-Chief enjoys a chronic blindness toward the disgust and contempt he evokes. He can stand before the U.N. General Assembly and not recognize the response he generates. Once an asshole, always an asshole. You get used to it.

The wannabe king recently slithered out of the White House to prove that D.C. was now safe. Trump made it to a local fish joint where he was accosted by protestors. He claimed the protestors were paid, a time-worn lie. But the FBI paid our phone bills to wiretap conversations. We thanked them.

Like today, 1960s resistance kicked The Man's ass so hard they tried to put us down as hippies, free love stoners, and bra burners. Bullshit. I had to set the record straight. I wrote a trilogy set in the civil rights, antiwar, and feminist movements. Here's an interview about it all bit.ly/4gasEtS

Today, we have a demented king who wants to use our military to invade American cities that voted BLUE instead of RED. He wants to use our own military to intimidate Americans, to stifle dissent. Screw the king. He wants to start a civil war. Don't let him. "Support Our Troops — Send them Home."

In the 1960s, the draft chose who fought in Vietnam. Many were drafted against their will. Other Americans protested our presence in Vietnam. But the protestors never turned against the soldiers. We knew that class and racism chose who went. We chanted "Support Our Troops — Bring Them Home."

You want to make America white again. Your old man defied federal law to segregate the public housing that made him rich. You pressured the NY DOJ to execute 5 black men later found innocent. You declare brown people to be enemies of the state. If you love white, why do your paint your face ORANGE?

Sit through the intro to watch Zelensky sit in the gaudily gilded White House and listen to Trump’s inane bullshit about dining out safely in Washington D.C. How does Zelensky control his dismay and disgust at Trump’s demented ramblings? Because Zelensky is AN ACTOR!

My theory: as a malignant narcissist his burning self hatred on others, especially those closest to him. His brutality toward Americans is an expression of his narcissistic self-hate and contemporizes Sun Tzu’s observation below, but we will extinguish Trump’s self hatred. 2026!

As in The Wizard of Oz, the creeps behind the Orange Thug machine look like the man behind the curtain! Behind apartheid-nostalgic Peter Thiel, self-hater Stephen Miller, and Project 2025 pimp Russell Vought, we’re gonna find the money and men [sic] behind the Heritage Foundation.

To hide the cost of renovating the plane Qatar donated to President Trump, the Air Force appears to have tucked it inside an over-budget, behind-schedule nuclear modernization program. Whassup, drunken bed-wetter Defense Sec’y Hegsdeath?

Not my president, inspiring jeers, boos and Scottish epithets from a nation that knows how to express their contempt for petty tyrants. Ugly sonofabitch isn’t he?

Oscar Wilde wrote The Portrait of Dorian Grey about a hedonist who sells his soul to have his portrait age and fade, not himself.
Wilde's tale returns in a man who pursues money and power the way Dorian Gray pursued beauty and sensuality. But this man ages and fades himself, not his portrait.

ICE forces a farmworker off a 30-foot roof. He dies in hospital. Man + place were once Mexican.
Russian snipers kill a woman thru the window of her Kharkiv home.
DOGE guts NOAA. Project 2025 says weather gives voice to "the climate change alarm industry [?].
Watch. Bear witness. Give it a voice.

When Trump was elected in 2016, I read 1984 for the second time. I read it because the bloviating, enraged, fearful, self-hating, vengeful President-elect and his high-octane motormouth, brought back Orwell's invented words like "doublethink," "newspeak," and "memory hole."

Project 2025, GOP policy guide, says National Weather Service (NWS) “has become one of the main drivers of the climate-change alarm industry…”
1. DOGE cuts 600 NWS staffers. 2. NWS says "weather forecast offices will be understaffed > loss of life.”
3. Late warnings of Texas flash flood = life loss

Texas officials are blaming the Trump/DOGE cuts to the National Weather Service for the lack of warnings of potential flash flood conditions on the Guadalupe River. However...

JD Vance and Drumpf are offering thoughts and prayers.
