Have they checked the roof?

 



It's a legitimate question.  After the near-death experience of boarding an escalator which stopped, the "what the hell was that?" address to the commanders and the desperate attempt to blame anyone else for closing the federal government, Trump apparently needed a time-out.  No one has seen him kicking the golf ball around or inspecting the construction project next door.  It's increasingly plausible that the scar on his left hand is from a shunt for embalming fluid.  Why wait till the last minute?

True, there have been demented TS posts like the one threatening Hamas and ordering all residents to abandon Gaza so construction on the Trump Hotel and Casino can start, but Gavin Newsom has people who can flawlessly mimic his blend of bluster and broken English.  I'm pretty sure they also put together this "Russ Vought is the Reaper" video.  (Vought, the Project 2025 goon who now runs the OMB, was completely unknown to Trump as of last summer.  He said so.)


Newsom's merry pranksters are getting competition from the folks at the Stephen Colbert show.  Since Vance thought all the racist sombrero memes were hilarious they created this for him:


Just trolling, having fun!  But I digress.

When I woke up today I was just a registered Democratic voter.  Now it appears I'm also satanic.


Thanks, DNC, but I already hate Trump.  Am I a globalist?  I've seen it used as MAGA code for "Jew" but it's like antifa, hard to pin down.  Trump's DHS is not helpful.  Under an AI image of a man in a US Citizenship and Immigration Services hat who looks like every mass shooter they write, "'Communist?'  DENIED.  'Terrorist?' DENIED.  'Globalist?' DENIED."  So the ADL, recently condemned by K$H Patel?  Chuck Schumer, according to Trump "a Palestinian"?  Bernie Sanders, an admitted socialist?  Citation needed.

Hate, evil and Satan.  As Major "King" Kong says, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with that.  Yet here I am on a Friday afternoon, trying to make sense out of a more than usually fucked up world.

ITEM:  Was Todd Arrington really fired as director of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library because he wouldn't give up a sword?  According to the New York Times, one of Trump's wenches at State emailed him looking for "a sword or something" Trump could give to King Charles.  She was told no, that everything in the Library is government property, which Trump apparently took to mean MINE!!  He had to settle for a replica of one of Ike's swords and shortly thereafter Mr. Arrington was forced out after thirty years.  You don't give a replica to a king, I guess. 

ITEM:  The biggest navy in the world registered another kill -- four more Venezuelan fishermen have landed their last catch.  Could you be prouder?  Trump does know that these are people working for a living, not billionaires sport-fishing off their yachts.  Doesn't he?  

ITEM:  Tina Peters, the Colorado election clerk convicted of trying to rig the 2020 election, has issued an impassioned demand that Trump "Send in the marshals -- get me!"  She's a "political prisoner" -- aren't they all?  Her judges were "put in place illegally, selected by benefactors in these blackmail rings like Epstein and P. Diddy."  She wants Trump to "Forget the appeal -- just do it and deal with the court later."  She wants to see her 97-year-old mother, damn it!  It's the MAGA "Letter from a Birmingham Jail."  Her one mistake was mentioning Epstein -- it's like saying "Voldemort" at Hogwarts.

ITEM:  Well, this is going to strain the Kim-Trump friendship -- North Korea is cracking down on breast augmentations ("boob jobs"), calling them "corrupted by bourgeois customs" and "rotten capitalist acts."  

ITEM:  At a forum down the road from his dacha in Sochi, Vladimir Putin sent condolences to the family of Charlie Kirk and praised the dead bigot as a defender of the "traditional values" the country's "political leadership is trying to restore."  He did not mention, nor was he asked about, the drones which closed Munich Airport for seven hours last night.  Hostilities between Russia and Germany are another tradition we were hoping not to restore.  

ITEM:  Like William Miller and countless other prophets, Joshua Mhlakela forgot to carry a three when calculating the Rapture.  He has crunched the numbers again, using the Julian calendar this time (rookie mistake!) and says October 6-7 is the right date.  It would be a Monday.

And finally, Pope Bob from Chicago (work name Leo XIV) is not just woke about believing people have the same rights as fetuses and immigrants should be treated decently.  He even believes global warming is real and bad.  Here he is, blessing a chunk of glacier from Greenland.  Why Greenland?  To troll Trump, obviously!


Sorry about the White Sox.  Wait till next year, eh?

I hate the poorly educated...

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Malign influence and other features

Image
 I had an odd dream early this morning.  Putin had come to Washington for a first look at his new province and Trump took him to the top of the Washington Monument.  It was a beautiful spring day, the windows were open, and as they looked over the mall a man dressed as Galileo emerged from the shadows and shoved them both off the observation deck to test his theory that the tiny Russian and the hulking American would impact the ground at the same time.  I awoke to the sound of rejoicing. Imagine my surprise when I heard that the boss has indeed been invited to Washington.  An international pariah since 2022, the dictator will meet his creature to carve up  Ukraine  and no doubt receive approval for his next "special operation," whether in Moldova, Poland or the Baltic republics.  It's just COMMON SENSE.  And NATO is too expensive for the US to keep up. While he's here Vlad can get a sit-down with his "girlfriend"  Tulsi Gabbard,  co...

The girl on the bus

Image
 In St. Petersburg, Florida, this morning a thirteen-year-old girl shot herself on the school bus.  No one knows why, it says  here.   Police are more concerned with where she got the gun and how she brought it on the bus.  Imagine being in that kind of despair, surrounded by clueless adults. Yes, imagine.  I don't know what we do now.   I spent yesterday listening to Britten's War Requiem, his response to the catastrophe of the twentieth century, the long war which saw far more civilians than combatants killed.  Combining the Latin mass for the dead with the poems of Wilfred Owen, who died days before the end of the Great War, it was written to consecrate the building that rose beside the bombed-out Coventry Cathedral.  Britten was condemned for sticking to his pacifist principles as England fought for its survival, but by 1960 he was so central to the country's musical life that no one else could be asked to compose for the occasion....
