Jeffrey and Donald--BFF's? It's fun so see Trump/and sycophants squirming about the Epstein info drip. The Navy pilot who was captured in Korea said he could handle getting beat up, but what broke him was having to sit under a faucet so a single drop of water hit his forehead every minute or so.

The Epstein Files. The gulls were hoping the files would uncover prominent deep staters and Demos in cases of rape and pedophilia. Ooops! It instead revealed Trump’s own involvement in Epstein’s sordid operation and that MUST NEVER be revealed.
No other DOJ memo explanation makes sense.

Journal -- August 16, 1975.
For a while in VISTA, I was involved in something idealistic, however small. It made me think about some things I would not have considered otherwise. It was a great experience, one I really needed. Best boss ever--Otis B. Head. Loved the man, right. Me, Slick to left.

Draft Dodger Trump. Nobody in his family in the USA has ever served in the military, not him, his forebears, or his idiot heirs. What a callow, cowardly bone spurs bully. Here's my grandpa on the other hand, with his WW 1 record.

Signalgate goes on and on. The right wing media, influencers, and Republican neo-reactionaries are twisting themselves into knots trying to justify the worst security breach in American history since Klaus Fuchs passed American atomic secrets to the Soviets.
Klaus spent 14 years in jail. Pete?

Just Kidding. I still despise Trump, his sniveling Republican toadies and all they represent. For all America's faults, I love her still. Having ideals is easy, living up to them is HARD. But the pod analogy works for--Lindsey, Ted Cruz, J. D. Vance, Elise Stefanik, etc.

Trump is Wonderful. While visiting family in another state, I woke up naked beside the bed this morning, aware that all is good and our Dear Leader Donald Trump knows best. After I disposed of a pile of ashes and greasy flakes on the sheets, I felt serene. I hereby renounce all my previous posts.

A Lousy Human Being -- Donald Trump--destroyer of the 1980s USFL. A great alternate football league that failed by following his malignant leadership. Check this John Basset letter out:
We had season tickets to a great, gutty team, the Portland Breakers, coached by Dick Coury. Trump.

What Trump Has Never Learned...
SEVEN WAYS
There are seven ways through the week
and a few good nouns: tolerance, respect,
awareness…
It isn’t much. It isn’t anything—
gold beaten into fragile figurines.

H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) --His spirit is very much with us. From the afterlife he looks down and laughs uproariously:
"On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Facebook... I'm so glad I never got a Facebook account. Thought about it for a while, to help sell books, and looked around before it demanded you sign up. But now, seeing that stupid lucky dork Zuckerberg standing behind Trump on January 20 my revulsion for Mr. Z boils over.

Trump's speech to congress? 100 minutes of lies, brags, boasts, and delusions. There was a time when lying, bragging, and boasting were considered coarse--something men just didn't do. Now we have a president whose words rise to the level of a pro (fake) wrestler. Avert your eyes. C. Clausen image.

Betrayal - Infuriated by Frick and Frack's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House Friday, February 28, 2025. Munich-style Hitlerian Putin appeasement at its worst. I'm ashamed to be an American. Everything our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents sought and fought for--is toast?

The movie A Christmas Story, based on author Jean Shepherd's 1940s Indiana reminiscences, is revered because it shows classic American types, like the typical bully Scut Farkus and his toady, Grover Dill. Welcome to February 28, 2025 where Trump (Scut) and Grover (J. D.) pick on Zelensky.

Benedict Arnold Trump. In a classic case of "projection" Trump last year accused Biden in their debate of being a "Manchurian candidate" for China. Now? The actual traitor in this scenario is of course, Trump. Putin's puppet. Putin's catamite. Putin's gofer. Welcome to 2025 kids.

See you in Court! Have to hand it to Maine Governor Janet Mills, for openly defying Trump over school athletics in her state. In his usual coarse, oafish fashion, at the White House Trump threatened to withhold money from Maine. Governor Mills blew him off. Good job, Janet!

BLACKOUT DAY -- A week from now. February 28, 2025. Shut everything down. Buy nothing, especially not on Amazon. If you have to work, bring your lunch. No fast food. Let the reptoids know us humans are fighting back. Trump is but a 1978 "Jim Jones" writ large. This too shall pass.

When some impaired member of the household hands over your personal, tax, and social security information to a scam artist, the first thing to expect is to have your bank account drained. To support his growing list of dependents, Elon is coming after your money! Beware!

Trump's Ukrainian Sell Out -- 2025. Caving to Putin in the worst possible way? Munich, 2025. Our great western leaders of the 20th Century are rolling in their graves. FDR. Churchill. De Gaulle. This is scary. Demanding mineral rights? Neville Chamberlain redux. Appeasement X 100.

The Last Refuge of Scoundrels -- Patriotism. Draft dodger coward Trump hugging and kissing the flag in a blatant display of phony patriotism. True patriots don't do that. It's cringe worthy and disrespectful. True patriots can be found in places like Portland's Willamette National Cemetery.

First Blue Sky Posting - February 14, 2025. Best to all. In the news today: Danielle Sassoon? She clerked for SCALIA, of all people. If Trump and his minions had any shame (they do not) this would be a huge stink. A month into her job, Ms. Sassoon ordered by Bove to approve a sleazy deal? Chilling.
