"They will be taken over from Within"!

I fear for our/my democracy 

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on February 27, 1951.

 

The history of direct democracy amongst non-Native Americans in the United States dates from the 1630s in the New England Colonies. The legislatures of the New England colonies were initially  governed as popular assemblies, with every freeman eligible to directly vote in the election of officers and drafting of laws.

Those countries whom we generally acknowledges as our adversaries are best answered by those politicians and their party affiliation. As an example, the President Biden administration certainly onsidered  Russia, controlled by Putin, an adversary. About three months ago, President Trump and his administration would not have placed Putin even near the top of the list.

And for this reason are my fears of losing our democracy!

It is certainly no secret that Trump's goals are to convert our nation into an authoritarian rule of law. Each day and in every way, he showed us signs of rendering our government unimportant by either cutting the departments to pieces or eliminating them altogether!  He has no respect for our Justice Department and continues to override our Rule of Laws. He has cozied up to dictators and authoritarians around the globe. Trump finds their countries preferrable to our "laws and regulations too confining" for his business friends."  He usually leans toward their wishes while threatening to do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and such things that were designed for the people years ago! Trump and his friends are more interested in how many tax breaks they can get for the affluent. Dealing with pesky attorneys, judges, and  anyone who says "no" to him is one more roadblock to his dislike for a democracy!

America's democracy is, in my opinion, hanging by a thread and Trump is looking for a way - every day -  to cut that thread, and If I haven't made myself clear enough, let me put it this way. . . 

Donald Trump is America's most ruthless adversary, and he will be as long as we continue to allow him to emerses himself in our political future!

I distinctly remember hearing Russia's Nikita Khrushchev in a speach on television in the 60's in the presence of John F. Kennedy: "I won't have to go to war with America. . . they are going to be taken over from within!"

Vince Lombardi - tell us it ain't so

 "Never underestimate the stupidity of people in a large group."

That "cautionary remark" is often attributed to comedian George Carlin. I have used it several times, myself - especially in the world of crazy politics. 

And, how much crazier can it get than to turn on my television this morning and actually see Elon Musk dancing onto the stage somewhere in the great state of Wisconsin with a Green Bay Packers Cheeseblock on his pointy little head?  

I have been a loyal Packer fan since 1960 - even have some shares in the only publicly-held NFL team in the league. I heard a vicious, dirty, low-down, tell-me-it's-not-true rumor yesterday on Facebook that Elon Musk has made an offer to buy the Packers for a mere $7.5 Billion, lock, stock and barrel!

I would prefer they either stay publicly-owned or gather every player and coach in the middle of Lambeau field and commit a full-squad and coaches  Hari-Kari, with Elon Musk performing the ritual of self-disembowelment that is always the show-stopper headline  of the evening. 

Sorry, but I get carried away when someone wants to mess with my Packers! 

Poor Humpty Dumpty is about to fall. . .

Humpty Trumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Trumpty had a great fall.

All of his Cabinet and other strange folks,

Had a great breakfast - including some jokes.

No more Humpty and no more yolk.

No more Cabinet - (that was a joke.)

No third term and no more lies.

No Humpty Dumpty and nobody cries! 

In a recent interview, President Trumpty said he believes he will be running for a third term of office, and it will be possible to change the constitution to allow for it to happen. He is also certain that the American voters will re-elect him without any hesitation.

Of course, that would become a certainty as soon as he re-does the ballot and eliminates all registered Democrats from voting. 

The way things have been going, he's probably going to get all he is wishing for on the fearful November 7, 2028 presidential election. He also told all of his Republican voters last election "If you will elect me this time, I will make sure it will be the last time you'll ever have to vote again." (meaning there is no voting in authoritarian rule.)

To say the 2028 election may be the most important in our nation's history is a huge understatement!

And to say Trumpty - if he is still alive  - is a shoe-in is a long, long over-statement!

I think.

 

What the heck is he up to?

 BY HIS IDOL HE'LL BE TAUGHT

When the President of the United States said he will go as far as he has too, to get control over Geenland, a shiver ran up my spine. When he said he would see Canada as our 51st State, I sat up in my bed in the middle of the night and realized this man was serious. When he said he was going to take control of the Panama Canal, I thought he was loosing the last of his marbles. Is this how he conquers new land?

He chose the most unqualified people possible to fill his Cabinet and then dared the Senate Republicans to not confirm them. He has acted less like a president and more like a bully than anyone in modern history.  His actions are of a man who thinks he is a king! He has, without much discussion, pulled us out of world organizations and promised to do more.

We have all heard world leaders speak about "that crazy man America has elected - again - to remake the world order that has been around since World War II." Did I miss something? Did he tell us he was going to do this to kick off his first month or two of authoritarian rule? Maybe he's confused. Maybe he thought he told us and told Putin instead.

Why the hell is our legislative "do-nothings" just holding his hand and watching him tear our nation's government apart? He is - with the supposed guidance of Elon Musk - firing good employees and closing departments. He has had to reverse many that were fired and put back to work. He makes senseless decisions that make our nation a laughing talk of fthe world. 

And he believes the U.S. Supreme Court, who has always been in his corner, will be his "be all and end all" green light to do as he wishes. It may be his down-fall, in the end.

He has made our long-time allies become our new adversaries. Worse, nations around the world are losing - or have already lost - respect and confidence in America.

This is begining to smell like a plan of his from the day he lost the election to Joe Biden.  He promised revenge and retribution, but I thought it was just his temper showing.

It evidently was more than that.

He is determined to make his last term of office a disaster! He seems to want to dismantle the greatest democracy in the world  at any cost! And, he's working hard to get more land for America before he leaves.  I'm positive he's more worried about his name in the history books than about our survival!

Are we going to sit by and just let it happen?

A sign on the back of a pickup said it all:

HE BLEW UP TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF

FRIENDSHIP WITH CANADA IN LESS

THAN TWO MONTHS

STABLE GENIUS, MY ASS

Back In The Day. . .

 Look, Up On The  Tower Roof

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! No, it's a blimp! No, it's a plane! No, it's a. . . yeah, it's a blimp! and, it's an Alien! Yes, it's  SuperPump! A strange visitor from the planet MAGA who came to Earth with powers and abilities far less than those of moral men. SuperPlump, who can sell tall building in a crooked deal, who can lie faster than a speeding bullet, bend laws in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Donald Kent, insanely careless deal-maker, fights a never-ending battle for unthruths and self-proclaimed injustice. 

Do you remember hearing that spiel on the radio in the 1940s and 1950s? Yeah, well I do!

Back then, he made people feel safe and secure by just being around to give help when it was needed.  The big difference today is, no one is feeling that safe and secure. . . and it's mostly because he is around!

(Okay, I'll get back to my comic books now.)

The Chickens are Coming Home to Roost

How many times do we have to get on our knees and beg these criminals to start telling the truth? 

Every screwed-up cockamamie crime they get ready to do has to begin with an alibi ready to use: "it's a damnable liberal's witch hunt that has not one bit of truth in it anywhere!"

It's reached a point where if you look up the word "lie" in the dictionay, it will give you the definition of a "Republican" and display a photo of Trump and Vance!

The MAGA/Republican cult isn't very good at reading tea leaves and Trump's fiascos in various states. It seems folks can hardly contain themselves to rush down and vote those MAGAs out of office. In Pennsylvania yesterday, the Democrat won by more points than Trump won the state by in the last election.  And that's happening around the country! 

It is making the Republicans so nervous, they have asked Trump to "call back " Elise Stefanik as UN Amassador because her Republican vote in the U.S. House will be needed. And, Trump did just that on Thursday.  Now that's nervous!

The Trump fiascos are finally paying dividends - to the Democrats!

The Know-Nothings Really Stepped In It Now

 WHAT DID WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN?

When the dismantling of our federal offices were moving along nicely, our Whitehouse Cabinet Officials decided they needed something more exciting in their jobs. So, they turned to good ol' Pete Hegseth. He has an itch to try out his new job of Departmant of Defense by bombing the hell out of some Rebels in Yemen. Or, so he thought.

And, we all know how that is rolling along. These greenhorn, unqualified, know-nothings in the president's Cabinet barely know how to find the front door, They were drug in and given a job by the president because he knew they would be loyal to him - no matter what - and do exactly as they are told.

So, we get what they sold their souls to get - a job in the big leagues! They were each branded with a MAGA branding iron on their hiney and that was about it.

If any of them are lucky, they'll get booted out the back door and picked up by the FBI for committing perjury, or worse!

Maybe the president has made several missteps in his first two months in the Oval Office - but, they insist it's nothing serious. The real serious stuff is yet to come!

Yessiree. . . it's abso-damn-lutely guaranteed to come!

Kiss your babies tonight, pull the covers up over your head, and dream of how good times used to feel. . . before the dawn of authoritarianism!

A Strange War Story

Pictured are the "I ain't heard nothin'" Members of the Trump Cabinet

Trump did, however, send his Cabinet of Junk Drawers and Fools to tell the world about his "Top Secret War Plans" on a rinky-dink unencrypted 1945 Royal Typewriter. A guy named Musk had already confiscated their high-tech communication equipment during  one of his raids in early February.

After a high-level discussion about the war plans, they had a "dry run chat" on how the attack would be carried out. One of the team thought it might be good to add a journalist to the group. They could give the world a bomb-by-bomb report as the strike progresses. 

To make a long story short, someone (not the journalist) spilled the whole story and it was beamed around the world! Now, the entire team of bumpkins are in front of a congressioal committee getting their hineys chewed on as they try to lie their way out of trouble. You see, it's kind of a knee-jerk reaction for Republicans. When they get caught, the first thing to do is lie.

There will, undoubtedly, be more investigations - until the lies finally run out - and then it will go the way such things always go - to the dust bin of history.

Oh, the war?  It is hardly mentioned any more.

And the folks in the committee?  They are hardly mentioned any more, either. Especially by Republicans!

Oh, give us a home where the Republicans don't roam

-DAINES AND SHEEHY- 

A BILL BY SEN. DAINES

WILL PERMIT OIL, GAS, AND VARIOUS

OLIGARCHIES  TO BUY MONTANA'S

PRISTINE PUBLIC LANDS IN AN 

AUCTION  ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS 

These two Montana Senator Shysters who pretend to love our beautiful public lands have found a way to make a huge pile of money on land real Montanans have enjoyed for generations!

Sen. Sheehy is brand new to Montana and Daines has been around long enough to know bettter.  When their rich friends are through with us, we'll have a landscape of rocks, dirt, mud, coulees, oil wells, mines. . . and no trees!

What they want to do to Montana is criminal!  These two bone heads are after what all Republicans are after: MONEY! 

Maybe we can't  out-bid their rich friends, but we can at least run these two Montana Traitors out of the U.S. Senate. How could anyone who loves Montana the way it is right now do such a miserable thing?

The Republican Party is trying to run us out of Montana and out of America, and these two sidewinders are leading the charge.

 

 

The Gang Who Can't Think - or Lie - Straight

It doesn't stretch the memory much to remember the strange and foreboding collection of  unqualified nitwits who were invited into the Trump Cabinet of "Junk Drawers." And, of course, each and every dunderhead was quickly confirmed by Republican Senators who feared the great and powerful Trump!

On March 24, 2025, a special "signal chat group" consisting of the head of the CIA and  FBI, head of National Security, chif of the national defense, and various other government officials discussed our nation going to war. A well-known journalist was inadvertenly invited to join them. As we can assume, highy secretive plans were discussed - although some in the group won't admit it. If it did not happen, no one will talk about what was discussed! 

Several questions were asked by Democrats in the session this morning and some were not answered. Right now, jobs have been threatened and we can understand how much more information will be gleaned from this "Band of Nitwits."

Republicans, of course, have shot down and buried the dirty, rotten journalist - who was mistakenly added to the "chat."

One note:  Thank God, the journalist was aware enough to know of the top secrect information being discussed and did not publish what  he was being told. 

 

It's Amazing How Common Sense Can Work

Victimized for What He Bought - Not How He Voted

This blog should be read by every block head who has ever damaged a Tesla car, thrown a tomato at a Tesla car, or shot it full of holes before they set it on fire.

So, you're mad as hell at a guy named Elon Musk who, I think, is the guy that has something to do with making Tesla automobiles. He has also gotten himself in political trouble with a big chunk of people because of this DOGE thing. 

I have no "dog in this fight" so I have no comment about that. I can say I don't like what's happening to political situations in our nation, but I see absolutely no reason - or gratification - that can come from harrassing an independent owner of a Tesla or destroying someone's Tesla because they are wild-eyed, crazy mean at a guy named Elon because of politics.

Maybe the perpetrator needs to sit down, take a minute to re-think their plan, and figure out just who they are mad at.  It's it's the Musk guy, go take your frustrations out on him. 

That would make sense, wouldn't it?

Why would someone who likes the way a Teslar drives and bought one, have to pay for the political problems created or not, by a guy  named Elon?

I can probably find you a way to get an email or phone number, if you want to get in touch with him. 

A Born Leader of Workers. . .

I fired their worthless butts and some judge finds out their work on the job was exemplary and so they're getting their jobs back. It's time I make their "firing"  a little more permanent next time! 

As a graduate of American Managements at Chicago, I would be willing to donate a small sum to help Trump take some time off and go get a few courses in management skills. He desperately needs it! Only if for no other reason than seeing how the rest of the world's bosses manage things.

I have my doubts that Trump looked at even one employment record of those thousands of people who were fired. I would rather believe he just told the "DOGE" facilitators to send them packing with a note that read, "Lousy work performance - Gave them fifteen minutes to clean out their desk and get their butts out the door."

Evidentlly, they didn't think someone would check. They've had to call back thousands of workers they fired when the performance evaluations showed "exemplary performance" was noted    - with thousands more they're checking out as we speak. 

This is the kind of work the new Trump Administration is doing!

On second thought, forget that offer I made. I would never foist that dangerous guy on anyone. American Managements doesn't need money that badly!

The Things They Are A Changing

It appears Trump and most of the Republicans are going to get their way with  our public schools. The GOP has been wanting to get their greedy paws on our public school funds since Trump was in little boy pants.

And that would be possible if they can torpedo the Federal Education Department and hand it to individual states. 

Think about it. All of that money and power dropped into the paws of "red" states. There goes about 75% of public school funding, total control of public curriculums, and private and charter schools will pop up like weeds everywhere. . . with most of the money going to them!

This, of course, is an extreme picture, but in today's politics, maybe it isn't, either. When the Republicans can get this close to a lifelong dream, who knows? Most of us never saw a time when the Federal Education building would become Musk's new and remodeled Internation DOGE Tower.

The rule of law has been tweaked a little and it sure ain't pretty. If you can't afford to get your little darlings into a private school in Montana,  there will always be the public school in the former Bob's Bowling Lanes. 

Teachers will be heading to "red" States where they will be able to pay a liveable wage and "blue" state teachers will be signing up for parttime work to help with their groceries and health insurance.

...and every college-age youngster will head straight to the applications for work as a teacher!

 

 

. . . and Then There Was Light!

  DISTRESSING TIMES

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany and the people were so elated with the news, half of them wet their pants!

He began celebrating immediately by the systematic persecution and murder of million, including six million Jews.

Today, you won't find one  American who believes it can happen in their country. We are too civilized, too human to allow that to happen here! Besides, we would never allow a "Hitler-type" to ever get on a ballot. 

Well, I have news for you, little buddies. Wake up and smell the "Kaffee," because you have already found one. He may not be of German-Hitler blood, but he picked up all of Adolf's thirst for inhumanity to man. . . all in the eternal search for more power and all that it can get you! 

Our "Adolf" is just beginning to build his power base and elimination of his enemies. He is also eliminating cumbersome federal things - and people - that might get in his way. (a favorite scheme used by the that other guy.)

The rest needs to be discussed as our "emperor" progresses with his plans. He still has to make last-minute deletions of most of our past rules of law, troublesome political enemies, and a total make-over of Mar-a-Mucho, the Southern Camp Headquarters and Golf Course.

So, it can't happen here, huh?

I'm sorry, but it can. The people around here are "easy pickin's," as they say. Besides, it seems like many of them would like to have this way. You know. . . something new and different - sure let's try it!

Petey and Elon's Grand War Plan Adventure

Petey Hegseth

One day, Pete Hegseth, Director of America's Defense Department, decided to invite Elon Musk to travel down the yellow brick road to his giant work place where the world's greatest - and most secret- war room is. It is highly top secret and only a few are invited inside.

This was a special occassion, however, and Petey was anxious to "read him in" about a plan to go to war with (censored)." Petey was so excited as he skipped down the steps to meet Elon. Elon gushed with pride and they met with a big hug and lots of laughter.

Reporters were on hand and their note pads were filled with questions for both giggling gnomes. 

The biggest question was, "Why in the hell is America letting this guy into the largest and most secret war room on the face of the earth? It ranks right up there with Steve Bannon's War Room!  Elon is just a rich guy with no credentials, no security clearances, no known reason to be anywhere near this place, and no reason to be "read in" on a possible plan to go  to war with ((censored)? 

Elon Musk

Musk, in photos taken during the "visit," looked like a wise-ass teenager who is being considered for a special fraternity membership. He was all smiles as he is about to be "read into" the war with (censored). Doesn't get much headier than this, rich boy!

As Elon departed, there were hugs all around on the steps of the five-sided building. 

What was this all about?  Is Richy going to be Petey's assistant, too? Is he going to be a civilian member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Is he going to be given a rank of General?

Is Peetey going to have to remove  that damned-awful tatoo that mostly covers his entire front-side?

More questions to come, folks.  I'll keep on it!

He Was Above the Law. . . Now He IS the Law

Damn them, they're blowing
it all to hell!

The Trump CONSTITUTIONAL

CRISIS  is under way!

"

A Constitutional Crisis is a situation in which a major political dispute cannot be clearly resolved on the basis of the particular government's constitution or established practice." 

Sen. Chuck Schumer said, "America is now in a constitutional crisis: Our democracy is at risk."  -Meet the Press

In the case of President Donald Trump, he governed his first term of office as though he was above the law. Since he began his second term as president, he has refused to accept the Rule of Law and firmly believes he is the law. On nearly a daily basis, he comes forward with a new Executiive Order to either make a decades-long department unrecognizable or he simple obliterates it! Strangely, he knows he does not have such powers, but he goes through the motions anyway. It seems to me his mind is getting a little worse. He can't tell us what he's up to and right now most of us don't really want to know.  The worst part of it all is he has roughly ten months and three years to go! It will be a race to see whether he can last that long. . . or if we can.

Maybe the fact we're in a Constitutional Crisis will finally wake up some Republican House and Senate members and make them remember how they could have taken care of this problem years ago.  After all, they are part of the problem and it takes all of them to resolve it! Being complicit is being guilty.

One point that is becoming crystal clear:  I'm betting there will not be  another party of Republicans if they don't do something soon!

Urge your representatives and senators to take care of it now - before it's too late!

 

America - Then and Still

If there was one, singular moment that I can point to that turned me completely away from Donald J. Trump, it would be these quotes reported by a man who knew him well. I am a proud Army Veteran, but I would like to think that any proud American would boil over at the disgusting beliefs he had of our servicemen and women. 

This photograph (above) of President Trump (photo from his first term) and his Chief of Staff John Kelly at a military ceremony.

John Kelly, the former chief-of-staff to President Donald Trump's first presidential term stepped up and severely criticized his former boss over disparaging remarks the then-president made about service members and veterans and for what he called Trump's utruthfulness about his positions on various groups as well as on abortions.

Kelly went further to quote Trump: "I think those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or serioiusly wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all 'suckers' because 'there is nothing in it for them,'" 

Kelly said of Trump, he is  "A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because 'it doesn't look good for me.' He is a person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family   - for all Gold Star families - on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America's defense are 'loosers' and he wouldn't visit their graves in France."  

This was, and is again, our military's Commander-in-Chief.Once a draft-dodger, always a draft-dodger. . . and with absolute no respect for anyone who did serve. 

Republicans who can still respect someone like that have my whole-hearted sympathy.

P.S.  And now, he is showing us how much he really dislikes us and the country that made him "rich and famous." He is finally telling us how much he wants to demolish it!  

(Most news content from NBC news - 2/03/2020)

Who is this egomaniac?

For as long as I live, this is the photograph I will most remember as a wicked and evil pathological liar with the characteristics of a "pseudologia fantastica" that is characterized by a habitual and compulsive tendency to lie, often without a clear motive. Such a person not only lies frequently, but may feel a compulsion to lie without being able to stop!

Such is this particular person. 

He will long be known by these characteristics far into eternity in American history books. He is the epitome of unvarnished egomania. He overflows with self-aggrandizement. Egomaniacs are characterized by an excessive preoccupation with their own ego, identity, and self, often with delusions of personal greatness!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the kind of president the Republican Party chose three times. This is the man that most suits their needs as a leader. This is the one who most mirrors their political party. This is not a democracy.

Is this the MAGA/Republican's best choice to lead 330 million Americans? Of course not, but they're only concerned with a man who will best lead them!

This is the "neo-Republican autocracy!"

Because of the evil pathological liar pictured above - this is the end of our democracy.

A political opinion

by John Watson

Who gave them the authority?

 RIDIN'  THE  WRECKIN'  BALL

When they're done, we won't have much of a nation to call our democracy anymore. He is determined to convert every last piece of America into an autocracy. He will no longer need to do those pesky executive orders. All he will have to do is send out an epistle to the peasants that will announce his new desire and plan of the day.

As the epistles begin flowing, he will, undoubtly, lop off some things he didn't intend to obliterate. No problem. He can always bring them back  - probably better than they were before. 

It all beggs the question: Who gave him the authority to take America into this patch of weeds and thorny bushes?  Did any American tell him he could do as he pleased? Did anyone tell him that he, Elon Musk and the MAGA/Republicans could knock down anything that they didn't like? 

I don't remember seeing that on the last presidential ballot. The last I recall, we were leaving the constitution and rule of  law alone and just electing a new president. So, who gave him the power to do as he damn well wanted? Several politicians have been very vocal when they claim Trump and Musk have no legal rights in what they're doing!

And yet, there they are - still riding that wrecking ball!

This mess is getting worser and worser. . .

I Promise To God I'll Sue Anybody You Say, Boss!

"The Commander of All Laws" took a stroll over to his personal Attorney General's Office this afternoon with the "real" AG to speak to a "hand-selected" group of workers. It has never happened before - to anyone's recent memory - and it gave him a minute or two to let the AG Staff know who is really running things. He ranted and pounded his little fists on the podium to let them all know he is going to straighten up the department and there will be no more "weaponization" of the Department of Justice! The president and the attorney general, of course, see all lies and illegalities from the same, corrupt view point!

The media networks are confounded with what they saw today. It was the most blatant and overt message to all Americans that the president will now be calling all of the shots and will round up all of his political opponents and send them to detention camps as near to the North Pole as possible. 

There just cannot be a good day for a blogger like me to say "This the worse day since that crazy psycopathic nut job took over his second term of office" because we all know tomorrow is going to be much worse!

He has been trying for weeks to empty all federal offices and fire all of the workers. He wants to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Offices. He has announced the Federal Department of Education is literally on the chopping block, with everything moved to each state to handle. He still wants to make Canada our 51st State, he wants to still buy Greenland, and he has a crew giving him some options on what he can do with the Panama Canal.

Most of Americans already know he is about three clicks from slipping away to another world. We have all watched him give a rambling, accusatory, outright nonsensical rant on television and when he's through, we sit back and say, "Damn, are you sure he's our leader?"

Come on, Republicans. . . admit you have said the same thing, too!

Shut It Down and Loose the Hounds

SHUT  'ER  DOWN,  BOYS 

The Republican/MAGA has served up a dish of their own recipe of nearly-raw liver and turnips to the U.S. Senate in order to keep the government open.Their Spending Bill that was dropped on the door step is being reported as not only dead on arrival, but "stomped-on dead" by the Senate Democrats.

Our government will go dark tomorrow night, March 14, 2025 if the politicians don't get their heads screwed on right - and tight!

The way the Republican brigade has been finding such joy and amusement in stripping jobs from federal workers by the hundreds of thousands, the task of shutting down the United States of America should give them an indescrible moment of pure unadulterated pleasure! 

But, according to past efforts this session, Trump and the right-wingers have stubbed their toe at every turn and it will undoubtedly all blow up in their faces. . .  again. 

Remember, we're dealing with the "gang who never could shoot straight!"

They Came From Planet Nine. . .

The Key Stone Cops of 

The Trump Cabinet's "Junk Drawer"

It has been a giant mystery to Americans since Trump slithered into the Oval Office with a list of horribly unqualified Cabinet choices to oversee our top governmental departments.  What was his purpose, other than counting on their loyalty to let the orders actually come from Trump himself?

As I expand the questions of what the hell is happening here, I go from my basic thought that it is just that and nothing more. Today, however, weird and troubling actions begin to make me think there is so much more than just that menacing our entire governmental control center. A South African guy named Elon Musk pops out of Trump's suit case soon after Trump enters the presidency. Musk seems to have been given the job of being Presidential Assistant!

He walks in and out of the Oval Office, wearing a sweater, baseball cap, and other very informal wear and kind of takes over conversations. He is a man with a plan and Trump has either pre-approved it or he doesn't care what happpens. 

However, America has a few million less federal workers than usual, a mysteriously armed and secret band of  hoodlums who evidently have the authority to march into federal building, tell the workers they have been fired, and they have fifteen minutes to empty their desks and get their butts out the door!

These renegades are taking over our government facilities and not so much as a "thank you, suckers." If you want to check in with an actual government official eteo see what's going on, you'll get the answer,  "We're doing it all for you, America!"

Aren't we deserving of a simple answer, such as, "Are we being taken  over by Russia or somebody?"

Is my lunch card no longer any good? Do they allow workers in Russia to ask questions? Will we get to cash-in our 401(k) before we leave...I mean, fifteen minutes isn't very much time?

 I guess not.

More answers to your questions next time.

SEND THEM ALL PACKIN'

The Trump Administration, Republican Party. and the "Make America Great Again"  Conglomeration of Authoritarians have been busy. They have developed a rag-tag team of flying monkeys who are evidently only responsible to a guy named Musk who is firing workers, commandeering the federl offices in which they work, and giving the workers fifteen minutes to empty their desks and get their butts out the door!

It's a whole new world out there, folks. What once was ours, is now theirs. What once was harmless, is now filled with fear. What once was a democracy, is now an authoritarian autocracy!

Steve Bannon, master of the Trump war room, has followed up the Trump Cabinet's shouting match with Elon Musk and a few well-chosen words with Musk, himself.  If you want to keep up with this fiasco you will need a bulletin and score card. Stay tuned.

Bernie Sanders said it best when he gave the best description of where America is these days. He spoke from the floor of the Senate that we are not headed toward an oligarchy/authoritarian system of government. . . we are firmly placed in the middle of it!

Google his full speach of Feb. 4th from the U.S. Senate floor.

We are in this God-forsaken garbage heap of Trump's own doing and we'd better find a way to send him packin'. . . right now!
