Two weeks of chaos and retreat

Donald Trump has been president a couple weeks and it feels like two years of misery. The chaos is by design… confuse, confound, overwhelm everyone. It is all about revenge and retribution. The Constitution… who cares? The rule of law… doesn’t apply to me! Government by the people… they are peons who don’t matter. The psychopath at the helm doesn’t give a shit about much else than himself and his perverse fantasies.

Trump places tariffs of Mexico and withdraws them claiming victory but it was hollow. Announces plans for a U.S. takeover of Gaza only to have aides walk it back the next day. His policies are a bad joke of empty rhetoric.

Courts are stepping in to block his birthright citizenship, firing of government workers, and other lawless atrocities. I applaud those judges. But what if Trump and the sidekick who bought unwarranted influence during the election, refuse to obey? Who enforces the courts decisions? The House of Representatives could impeach… ha ha… a bunch of compliant pussies.Things will change with the 2026 elections… maybe so, but with gerrymandered districts and lots of dark money will they change that much? Would the Senate convict? Not likely. On the unlikely chance they did find the criminal guilty and ordered his removal from office… would he leave? If he didn’t what could anybody do?

Trump is a psychopath. Musk an evil and greedy power grabbing bastard. Our constitutional checks and balances were supposed to block such men. But when an entire political party… the Republicans… are so smitten with power, so devoid of a moral barometer, and so castrated after bending the knee can ther truly be meaningful checks and balances? I fear for American democracy.

Meanwhile the price of eggs soars.

Convicted. Felon.

 

Convicted Felon Donald Trump

Donald Trump will be the first convicted felon in the White House. Nevertheless, the “rule of law” failed the U.S.A. No punishment for the felon. He skated on the January 6 treasonous insurrection case and on the theft and retention of classified documents case. Donald, Sam, and Clarence are conspirators. He will take office and commit more felonies under the shroud of dubious immunity. Trump’s pawns like Bobblehead Ben crow and pledge to support his every atrocity.

The big joke on democracy is 

that it gives its mortal enemies the means for its own destruction.
