#TrumpParade 🤣🤣

We now have secret police grabbing people off the streets and sending them directly to "black sites" like the CIA used to do. When this happens in other countries we usually refer to those countries as being a "police state". Do the math.

New rave review for THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP! Give it a read if you're curious about the book; it sums it up nicely.

Ya know, Jesus' message was directed at the oligarchs of his day...the Billie Graham-like priests. Turning his words into a religious concept was a way to dilute his message. Religion has always been a means of control and distraction.

If you have wondered what it would look like in a film where Tony Soprano somehow became the US president, you no longer have to wonder. We are living in a country ruled by a Mob Boss. You should consider every move by him and his oligarchs as grift.

Now would be a good time for the Supreme Court to issue an unambiguous order for every person arrested to have due process as put forth in the constitution. Failure to comply will result in DOJ officials held in contempt.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Trump bragged about becoming a dictator when he was running, and the Project 2025 was denied by Trump. The MSM, the NYT and WaPo chose to pretty much either downplay the danger to American democracy or to bury it. What I like to call "Premature Capitulation". I'll be here all week...

The bright side for leaders of countries in the free world is that they can point to the US as a warning to their voters if the voters don't pay close attention to candidates.

As I'm not an historian, I cannot help wondering has an unpopular leader ever been able to force an authoritarian rule on a country? A country of 340 million people. A country with more than 300 million guns. A country with citizens owning military weapons. Stay tuned...

Every one in the judicial has known that it would quickly reach this point, where Trump refuses to play by the rules. They've also probably feared it because, really, with Trump controlling all of the levers of power, who's gonna stop him?

RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

With all the chaos that’s going on around us, we needs some baby goats in our lives. Enjoy!
