I haven’t done one of these in a long time, but I have
several subjects circling the drain in hand, but none substantial enough to
whip into a dedicated post. So here goes…
TACOS to Go
While I’ve been greatly amused by the memes and comments referring to TFG as a TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out), I hope they don't stay too long. Sure, I love that it annoys the hell out of him,
but there’s a problem.
We NEED him to “chicken out” on his bonehead plans and ideas.
If he doesn’t “chicken out,” then it creates more pain for everyone (who’s not
rich). If he’s going to float more economy-bombing tariffs, we need him to put
things back to normal. We need him to back out of invading Greenland or Panama.
We need him to not abandon NATO or Ukraine.
The thing with this guy is that he’d rather blow everything
up than come off looking unmanly. His ego won’t allow his image to be
tarnished in such a way, so he’d rather endure the collateral damage than
be seen as weak. That’s why the other autocrats can play him like an orange
clarinet; they know how to puff up an ego to get what they want.
Even to the extent that his claim that all this is a
negotiating strategy… asking for the outrageous and “settling” for what he
wanted in the first place, I believe he’d scuttle it all if he thought it made
him look soft. After all, this is a guy spending millions in tax dollars for a
self-glorifying military parade!
So yeah, we’ve had our fun, but let’s not cut off our
collective nose to spite our face. We need him to step away from his most
destructive ideas, so maybe we shouldn’t dare him to stand firm.
Besides, there are still other avenues to be used to make a guy uncomfortable.
Family Feud
I’ve also enjoyed the blowup between Elon and TFG. It’s
not like watching Mommy and Daddy fight; it’s more like watching those
degenerate neighbors down the street out in the yard throwing used auto parts at each other.
This is a cockfight between two of the biggest dicks in Washington, so there’s
not exactly anyone to root for.
It’s funny how NOW Elon brings up the Epstein list. And
no matter how much we’d like to get a look, you know it’s never coming out
without heavy scrubbing. If this administration ever releases it, it will
contain only Democrats and Republican never-Trumpers.
Is anyone really surprised that TFG is allegedly on the
list? Hell, there are only 17,000 pictures floating around of him and Epstein
or his Madame hanging out together. You think they were only talking about the
real estate market?
Elon should be careful about backing the opposition. That’s
one more tool TFG could use to postpone or cancel the mid-terms or the 2028
elections. “They’re trying to buy the
election,” he’d scream. “I have no
choice but to shut it all down.”
I still think that’s the plan all along. As I’ve said before, they’re all acting like they will never have to be re-elected again. They’re being openly racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, and all the other phobics. I say they already know the fix is in.
LA Law
You could consider the escalating unrest in Los Angeles
as a test run for the next election season. TFG commandeered the National Guard
to have them go in and terrorize protesters. The fact that none of the protests
were likely to become violent until the Gestapo showed up won’t gain any
traction in the newly compliant news media. They’ll dutifully show the most
lurid bits, which TFG will use to claim he needs to declare martial law and
shit-can the election.
He’s just getting us all used to this kind of thing; once
again, creating the problem and then wanting to take bows for “solving” it.
Good News and Bad
News
It’s great that Abrego Garcia is coming back home, but
you knew it wasn’t going to be cut and dried. The administration brought
him home only to make up some new charges out of whole cloth, so he’s
essentially going from one jail to another. All the better to make an example
of here at home, I guess.
At least he’ll get a trial now, but who is going to defend him? He’s going to need a good lawyer at a time when the legal profession is under tremendous pressure to not cross the government, lest they face career-killing consequences. I hope there’s at least one sharp legal eagle out there who’s itching to do some high-profile pro bono work. This guy’s going to need it.

Yep to all of it. I was so Triggered by the Fuckery that I did a long Manic Ranty Post about it Today too. So much to unpack and try to cover that the Media really is fearful to now. If only he hadn't just tripped UP the Stairs and fallen all the way down them instead... he can't FOAD soon enuf, he's the biggest Threat to the Security and safety of our Nation and it's Citizens. ICE has become his American Gestapo and he does Create problems and then takes Credit for Solving what he instigated and caused. He's provoking and seeing what the Public will tolerate and accept without resistance? I fear he's put our National Guard and Troops in a precarious situation against Americans... it's a Wet Dream he's had for Years to turn our Military against us who won't bend the Knee or kiss the Ring and have an excuse to implement Martial Law. I just pray nobody gets maimed or killed like January 6th, which he also is responsible for.
The longer I look at it, the more I believe we're entirely screwed. They've moved all the chess pieces into place like masters. We can't call the police, they're on his side. Can't count on the Justice Department, they're just the legal revenge wing of his domain. Can't sue, not only are the lawyers afraid, he owns the top judges.
Our only alternative is to vote everyone out, but he's going to get rid of that option too. I think protesting and consequently being used as punching bags and crash-test dummies is all we have left. I hate being so fatalistic but I really don't see any rays of light, other than the oncoming locomotive.
we are fucked. Remember that speech in PA when trump said that Elon helped him win, "he knows how to work those voting machines" why does no one talk about this. I was hoping Musk would admit it to get him impeached but them he'd go to jail so there is no chance of that. And is musk quietly backing off cuz he's scared or is he planning something. No matter what we are fucked.
We certainly are, both sideways, and up and down.
See, if we had an unbiased Justice Department, they might investigate such admissions, but they're all on the home team. They only exist now to prosecute political and business enemies of the regime.
