America’s Fever Nightmare
When Will The 74 Million Say ENOUGH!
It’s has taken Felon 47 just short of a month to dismantle American democracy. Now that’s true “lightning war” Herr Hitler.
And egg prices are still over $6 a dozen…if you can find them.
Yes, Our Lord and Savior Felon 47 has been busy. He rescued the oppressed MAGAdites from the transgender scourge (so happy, because it was sure to take over all aspects of our lives).
He put the fear of Lord Miller The Cruel into immigrants, documented and undocumented while restoring the authority of the European White Man as master of a Christian Nation…a Christian Nation based only on merit…a Christian Nation where women resume their rightful place making sandwiches and spitting out kids….a Christian Nation where only so-called “Heritage Americans” are true citizens…a Christian Nation where people of color return to the plantations, back to a beautiful and much missed bygone era.
He loosed his terrible swift DOGE on the Deep State, firing clerks and admins and air traffic controllers and scientists and nuclear workers and park rangers. He’s starving kids in Africa and stranding cancer patients and wrecking agriculture markets and telling USAID workers to find their own way back to the states. The big, beautiful list of cost cutting just keeps growing, as does my annoyance of X Musk, supposedly Master DOGE’s son. X is actually Musk’s Mini Me whose probably leaked my social security number to the Chinese. Sorry, the kid on his shoulders in the Oval Office was beyond freaky.
He’s bullied Senator Asshole Coward (R-Everywhere) into confirming a clown car full of cabinet appointees who at this moment are burning down NATO (literally), pouring vaccines onto the lawn at the CDC (maybe), sharing intelligence secrets with a KGB operative named Putin (probably), and shaking down Ukraine for its rare earth metals (absolutely). That’ll teach Zelensky to start a war he couldn’t win.
Meantime, good old Hillbilly Elegy (or is it Hillbilly Asshole?) cozies up to Nazis and lectures Europe about “free speech.” That’s code for it’s OK to say the N word and let the Muslim/Jew Hunt begin. I think that’s called hate speech. Can he please just deport Ohio’s dog-eating Haitians and call it a day?
Our soon-to-be Dear Leader and President For Life couldn’t be prouder. You know, it’s all an act of love. If you don’t see it his way, he’ll make sure some of the newly pardoned Proud Boys come by for a visit… for a talk…just stopping by… you know…for a talk. Proud Boys stand back and stand by…
“Today’s MAGA Republicans are on a raw-power bender the likes of which we’ve never seen. Years spent fruitlessly yearning to grind the hated libs beneath their heels have suddenly given way to a glorious moment where the barriers have all fallen away at once. They control all the power, and they’ve jettisoned all compunction about how they’re going to use it. The time has come at last, they rejoice, to crack some skulls.” – Bill Kristol in The Bulwark
Prince of Peace
Tongues are wagging in Oslo over his Gaza peace offer. Can you imagine how appreciative those bombed out Gazans will be, watching from refugee camps, as their old neighborhoods give way to luxury high rises with an ocean view, high rises full of sunburned Israelis, fat American tourists, and Russian oligarchs…but no pesky Palestinians. A Gaza Trump Tower? You bet your ass that’s coming. WOW…that Nobel Peace Prize is a lock!
He’s showed those Canucks and Mexicans and Chinese and EU a thing or two about tariffs. Just imagine how wonderful it’ll be when I carry my $8,000 laptop into my $125,000 pickup filled with $8 a gallon gas so I can grab a $15 carton of eggs (eight count) on the way to my 500 square foot apartment for which I’m blessed to pay just $7,500 a month. Oh, wait…can’t go home… gotta get to my fourth job so I can pay for all the healthcare I can’t afford. Sleep? Who needs it?
Hey! And, we’re no longer f**king around with those Greenland bastards. Our merit-based, transgender-less, fighting men (no women in combat) will soon hit the beaches battling the terrorist Inughuit, Tunumiit, and Kalaallit. They apparently weren’t read in on Manifest Destiny, boarding schools and reservations and all that. Take note Oh Canada. You’re going to be the 52nd state…and Panama the 53rd and Mexico the 54th… Yeah Denmark, you’re on the list too.
I could go on…but you get the point. The coup is about complete with barely a whimper from the loyal opposition, still fussing over pronouns while ignoring the biggest missile in the Democratic arsenal.
74,999,166 didn’t vote for this…didn’t vote for a racist, misogynist, fascist, narcissistic, twice-impeached, traitorous, infinitely corrupt, psychopathic, tech bros ass kissing, Putin boot licking, convicted felon.
And according to the most recent AP-NORC poll, a heck of a lot of the 74,999,166 are not comfortable with Creepy Elon/Mini Me X Musk rooting around their secure info. They do support ending fraud and waste, but not this way, not with massive cuts to Medicaid, a resurgence of polio, breaching security at the IRS and Social Security Administration, talking to an AI bot instead of a real person at a government office….
So, why the hell are your Democratic members of Congress (except AOC, Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, Elizabeth Warren, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Jamie Raskin, Jake Auchincloss, and Robert Garcia) hiding in their offices and leaving the fight to a couple of Blue State governors and a few Attorneys General (thank you AZ’s Kris Mayes)?
Well, the short answer is they suck. They’re clueless, scared, and seem to think a federal court system owned by MAGA will sort it out. Yeah, beyond f**king naïve.
Or, they’re playing a long game. As Rep. Auchincloss told Ezra Klein this week “We are not going to play the outrage Olympics.” With respect congressman, this isn’t a long game. You HAVE TO SPEAK UP, loudly, every day, with a focused and direct message. This is, in fact, the Outrage Olympics and the Democrats aren’t in medal contention.
Except for the aforementioned street fighters, the whole of the Democratic caucus is lost in a November-wasn’t-my-fault blame game. Congressional leadership keeps talking about finding common ground with MAGA. Fat chance of that happening!
This is the same gang that tried to run a highly diminished 82-year old (that’s a charitable description), then blew a BILLION DOLLARS on influencers and jumbled messaging. Yeah, it was close, but you lost. You can pin some of the blame on misinformation (legit), Russian influence (legit), and FOX News (legit). That doesn’t give you a hall pass to do nothing.
You, Democratic leadership, have a superpower: 74,999,166. Put it to work!
Meantime, the coup is coming at blitzkrieg (yeah, like the Nazis) speed. The bully is about to win.
You know how to stop bullies? A a hard left to the jaw is a good start. I think hockey players call it “spittin’ chiclets.”
The enough-of-this-shit beatdown needs to launch from the grassroots, yesterday. Demonstrations around the country are picking up including here in Red (cause it ain’t truly Purple) AZ. Also suddenly, Red State farmers (talking to you Iowa) and Greater Minnesota (talking to you Stearns County) are figuring out how oligarchy works. Hint: it’s not for you.
All those MAGA folks who are about to lose Medicaid, who can’t afford anything at the Trump Tariff price, who see a family member hauled away in the Great Deportation, who see their water supply poisoned while we Drill Baby Drill, who need FEMA after the next hurricane/wildfire, who need a second mortgage to pay for insulin, who can’t sell their grain at a price that covers the seed and the fuel needed to plant and harvest it….
Yeah, they’re going to join the 74,999,116. They need a leader, Democrats. Compromise ain’t on MAGA’s agenda. Grinding you into powder is their end game. You shouldn’t be shocked. He told you what was coming.
The coup is about complete. The billionaire tax cut is coming. The Dear Leader and President for Life felon is near reality.
Better get your steel toe boots. Time to make MAGA spit chiclets.
