Last time, if you remember in our thrilling adventures of fearful Fascism today. Tom Holman, Chief Thug and bottle washer for the Reich’s Security Service said, “If you’re in this country illegally you should self-deport immediately. Because we will find you and arrest you!” Ice agents swarmed over a meat packing house in Omaha and raided farm fields in California. The Great Dictator declares he’s going after Sanctuary cities to root out the migrants. Then whispers from the people who really count.
Agribusiness, hotel chain owners and hamburger chain restaurants. Suddenly, the Great Dictator has a change of heart. Okay, you guys can stay! Provided you work in these industries and are willing to be exploited. TACO! Trump Always Chickens Out!
It was less than a month ago, the Great Dictator was telling fellow Republican Fascists. That he would not be taking America to war with Iran. The United States had ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran. Then as tensions were escalating with Israel. The Great Dictator advises staff in the Middle East to lay low or get out, because Israel was getting ready to attack. Not us, this country was as pure as the driven snow. And the Great Dictator had advised Israel not to attack the Ayatollah.
Israel attacks Iran with over 200 aircraft taking out most of Iran’s air defense on the first night. The Great Dictator flees the G-7 meeting because he really didn’t want to be there anyway. Negotiate? Work together? Bah, Humbug! But Trump hints at important doings in the Middle East. Then it appears, Iran is going to be a pushover. The Great Dictator announces, “Look what WE did! Boy, those American weapons sure are great, aren’t they? The Great Dictator announces he’s sending in the aircraft carriers!
Trump climbs into the boxing ring and takes a victory lap in someone else’s fight! And then declares, Iran must accept unconditional surrender! Israel fights the war, and the Great Dictator takes the credit and dictates the surrender terms. But only, after it’s clear Iran was a paper tiger.
I’ve come to believe the Great Dictator keeps Lindsey Graham’s soul in the tiny little black bottle. A bottle adorned with a pretty pink ribbon around it and kept in a desk drawer. If there is unpleasantness to announce, here comes Lindsey. “Yes master! Whatever you say master! I am your slave and must obey!” The Great Dictator uses Lindsey to announce we’re going to attack Iran too. Now, that most of the danger has passed. Marge Traitor Greene was apoplectic! And she doesn’t even know what apoplectic means! But that’s what she is. “You promised! You promised us, you wouldn’t attack Iran!”
What’s the word I’m looking for here? A word used to describe someone shocked and dismayed by the Great Dictator’s ability to lie to them. Would “dumb” cover it adequately? If the Great Dictator says, there is no threat of a nuclear war. Take cover immediately! The Great Dictator dismissed claims tanks and military vehicles could damage Washington streets. Then sent out the Park Service to declare “No Damage!” But two streets remain closed because they are perfectly fine.
The Great Dictator wants to ban 36 more countries to the 12 already listed. Call it, “You must be THIS WHITE TO ENTER!” 194 countries on planet Earth. And 25% of them aren’t going to be allowed in the United States. But that effort is really nothing for soon to come phase two. Countries Americans are no longer allowed to visit. What is your reason for wanting to travel abroad? What is your reason for wanting to leave America? Just let me look in your phone and your laptop first. What are your political leanings?”
John Thune, the Senator from the banking industry, declares the Great Dictator’s Big Beautiful Murder bill doesn’t go far enough! We need more and deeper Medicaid cuts! And maybe camps to concentrate all of these sick people together in one place. But Thune has a very good reason, besides his heartlessness and greed.
The numbers don’t add up. And Thune is a Conservative, and if this country plans a holocaust the numbers must add up. Not 3.4 Trillion added to the deficit like the Congressional Budget Office predicted. Not even the 5 to 7 Trillion added to the deficit over ten years as originally predicted. But Thune’s numbers now forecast 15 Trillion dollars added to the deficit over ten years! So, obviously there’s only one thing left to do. Make even deeper cuts to Medicaid and kill even more Americans even faster. Otherwise, the massive tax cuts for the wealthy made permanent, would be fiscally irresponsible.
Thune is on board with killing millions, but only if it is done in a fiscally responsible manner. The polling shows the public is not on board with the Big Beautiful Murder Bill. Two thirds of Americans disapprove of it across the board. Meaning only the Trumpanzee’s still approve of their own eventual destruction.
I told you several weeks ago, about Karen Taylor Robson. The political lightweight with the rich daddy running for the entry level position of Governor of Arizona. She was running TV ads around the clock like the election was next week. When the election is 18 months away. And on every TV ad she boasted ENDORSED BY TRUMP! They must have heard me as the TV ads have now stopped. Now, the TV ads around the clock are for Andy Biggs for Governor, insurrectionist and slime merchant. His TV ads also feature prominently that he too is endorsed by President Trump! Isn’t that amazing? Two candidates running for the same office and Trump endorses both of them!
What do you suppose are the chances, if I could muster up a big enough check. Trump would endorse my candidacy for Governor of Arizona? But Trump’s numbers are falling. The five to seven million Americans who participated in the “No Kings” demonstrations speak volumes. It was the largest protest against a sitting president in American history. With the Republicans set to ram through the Big Beautiful Unpopular Murder Bill, the numbers can be expected to crater even further.
Marge Traitor Greene is pissed! And they’ve taken away her Fuhrer’s club badge. John Thune wants more Dickensian measures even faster. That is what makes hitting a curveball so difficult. You don’t swing at where the ball appears to be now. You swing at where the ball is going to be when it crosses the plate in a few months.
Also, not in the news. Kristi Noem has suffered a drug over… I mean an allergic reaction. Poor folks have drug overdoses, while rich folks have allergic reactions. Poor folks are junkies and crack heads, while rich folks have substance abuse issues. Poor folks should be jailed indefinitely, and rich folks should be hospitalized.
The Great Dictator’s approval rating hovers at 38%. Or only Trumpanzees and a few hardline Republicans are still on board. Putting Trump’s popularity somewhere between Battlestar Galactica and chlamydia. There’s a curve ball coming.
