NO KINGS + 2

 It was a perfectly beautiful autumn day for the estimated seven million people who gathered in parks and squares and in the streets to express themselves with signs, balloons, costumes and music.  Nobody came to "hate America" except a demented old felon who posted an AI fake of himself dumping shit all over it from a fighter plane.  Wearing a crown that looked like it was made for Bert Lahr in The Wizard of Oz.  

This woman was ready for him.


California had to close a 17-mile stretch of I-5 on Friday as the Marines at Camp Pendleton fired off a few 155mm artillery shells over it "in preparation" for Saturday's event.  No, of course it wasn't NO KINGS, the guys simply chose that day to celebrate the Corps's 250th birthday.  Also pure coincidence that Greasy Pete and Couch Humper were present.  What do you mean, warning shots?

The dictatorship took advantage of the festivities to carry out more unpopular actions.  Kristi Noem took delivery of not one but two Gulfstream jets at a cost of $172 million so she can zip to any part of the country where people who don't look like a Norman Rockwell painting need rounding up.  Around the same time political prisoner George Santos was freed from his New Jersey gulag, which suggests that his crimes netted him enough to purchase a full commutation including the $600,000 he was supposed to pay to the people he conned.  Because he's just a "rogue."

Santos promises to draw on his several weeks of experience to work for prison reform, just like the Tom Courtenay character in Billy Liar.  Marvelous movie.  Obviously a major influence on Santos.

(If you can explain what this crook's fraud and theft of public money had to do with Senator Blumenthal, I'd be glad to read it.  Also, Watergate was an "ILLEGAL HOAX!")


HM also advised that it was "my great honor" to destroy a "DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE" headed straight for Florida or something, but also that the two crew members they pulled out of the water are being returned to their countries "for detention and prosecution," another way of saying we have no evidence to use against them despite their alleged perfidy.  Who knows what they were doing?  Then he attacked Rand Paul, of all people, for condemning the killing of people "without any evidence of a crime."  And Thomas Massie just because he's also from Kentucky (NO EPSTEIN, NO EPSTEIN, YOU'RE THE EPSTEIN).  And President Gustavo Petro of Colombia for the same reason.  Colombian fishermen beware.


Volodymyr Zelenskyy had to take time out from important things to sit in the Offal Office and listen to Trump's word salad last week.  I'm sure he didn't need anyone to point out that Greasy Pete wore his Russian flag tie as a signal to the boss.  They discussed a tunnel connecting Alaska to Russia for some reason, and then it got weird:  Trump claimed that some (unnamed) "Democrat senator" wanted to build a tunnel or possibly a railroad from Hawaii to the mainland.  At this point Zelenskyy realized he was at a mad tea party and zoned out.  

Too bad he went home before NO KINGS -- he would have enjoyed it.  I have perused the web and found only two arrests in spite of all the woke terrorist violence we were promised.  A woman in Fairhope, Alabama, was charged with "lewd conduct" because she was dressed as a penis, and another woman in a Trump shirt brought a gun to a rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Everyone else was very well behaved.




Trump's proposal for peace was that Ukraine just give Russia what it wants and stop making Putin bomb their cities.  It sounds reasonable, doesn't it?  Meanwhile the (Biden) truce he proudly took credit for is already over, as Israel claimed Hamas fired on its soldiers and resumed air strikes.  Humanitarian aid was already cut off because Hamas did something else, I forget what.  Maybe they refused to join in singing "Hatikvah."  Maybe they raised uncomfortable questions about the 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians now being examined by doctors in Gaza.  This is not an ICE facility.

Two hundred fifty years ago we were at war with the mightiest empire in the world.  Maybe that's why Americans instinctively support underdogs like Ukraine and Palestine.
