I have to confess, I like what happened in Trump Tower the other day. Recently, a guy named Mahmoud Khalil got taken into custody, apparently for being alive. I mean, even the people who arrested him say there are no charges against him. He hasn’t committed a crime. He was arrested and is going to be deported because he opposed the American position on arming Israel in their attempts to eliminate the Palestinians, once and for all, and claim the land as their own. I opposed it, too. Are they going to deport me? (I mean, please?)

Authorities originally said they were revoking his student visa because of the protest. When his American citizen wife explained that he doesn’t HAVE a student visa but, instead, is a permanent resident with a Green Card, the authorities made a phone call, then came back and said, “Okay, we’re revoking his Green Card.” Then they took him into custody in New York and flew him to Louisiana, making it VERY difficult for his lawyer to communicate with him. The First Felon suggested (okay, lied) it was because of Khalil’s “Anti-Semitic” protest.

SO, demonstrators from a group called, ‘Jewish Voice for Peace’ staged a sit-in at Trump Tower wearing shirts that read, “Stop arming Israel,” and chanted “Bring Mahmoud home NOW!” See, anybody with a functioning frontal lobe knows that opposition to that war is opposition to the actions of a government, not “Jewish people.” 98 people were arrested.

I’ll tell you this: I can’t WAIT to hear the trumpster claim the Jewish demonstrators were Anti-Semitic…

During his campaign, the trumpster said on multiple occasions he planned to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Then he acted all impressed that it was written in 1798. That was one of the early hints that The Felon was getting input from the evil Heritage Foundation. I say so because there’s NO WAY a person as stup–, er, ‘intellectually incurious’ as 47 knew there was such a thing as the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

Someone briefed him, for sure. The mystery is how they got him to sit still and listen long enough to remember the name correctly. On the campaign trail, he was very impressed with himself and pleased that he finally got to sound smart around people. But whoever briefed him, didn’t tell him the whole thing.

Like, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 is a wartime act. The only time it has ever been used was during the War of 1812, the First World War, and the Second World War. What do they have in common? That’s right, they’re ALL WARS! As messed up as everything is, the US is not currently at war. No matter, on Saturday the 16th, he signed an Executive Order invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. But then we’re right back to the madness. You see, he claimed he was invoking the act in order to deport some Venezuelan gang members.

What put the lie to his claim is the fact that the US already has laws to deport criminals. We don’t need to invoke old wartime powers. But if he got away with it for the Venezuelan gang members, he could then use it against others – like Mahmoud Khalil, perhaps? They really want to deport that guy for having principles. But when even Jews are coming to his defense, the effort to deport a legal resident has clearly run into problems. It immediately felt, to me, like The Felon was trying to do an end run around the law. “What? A convicted felon who despises laws? Say it ain’t so!”

Apparently, I wasn’t alone in that suspicion because the trumpster invoked and a Federal court revoked. Well, the court issued a temporary restraining order stopping him from using a wartime power during peacetime. US district Judge James Boasberg issued the order in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward.

This whole effort on the part of the trumpster is yet another example of acting on their own false rhetoric. Everybody knows we have problems at the border but is it an invasion? No. That’s just language the cons used to catastrophize the situation. But then, his pea-brain started to believe his b.s. rhetoric and now, suddenly, he sees an “invasion.” There are words for it, when people see things that aren’t there. ‘Paranoid’ comes to mind. ‘Delusional’ is a accurate. Dare I say, ‘deranged?’

So far, it hasn’t been any fun having a REAL morally bankrupt, psychologically deranged person in the White House. This guy isn’t all scare stories and made up failings of MAGA talking about Biden. He’s the REAL DEAL. He has no morality, he’s clearly deranged, and he’s, at best, intellectually incuri– oh, to heck with it, he’s stupid, and the whole world will pay the price…

Okay, speaking of stupid, MAGA has long-since insisted that climate change isn’t real. Then, that it IS real, but natural, not at all man-made. Okay, affected by humans but no one knows how much. Now some of that non-existent, natural, okay, minimal climate change is pounding the Midwest plains and the south with what is described as a “monster storm.” People have died in bright red Kansas. People have died in bright red Mississippi. People have died in bright red Missouri. People have also died in bright red Arkansas.

Let’s connect two dots. We’ve been listening to Musk and the Felon whining about the role the Federal government plays in people’s lives and we’ve watched them take a chainsaw to the institutions. MAGA has been cheering because of all that fraud, waste, and abuse that has NOT been uncovered or even happening – including at FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. MAGA has been conditioned to believe FEMA doesn’t do anything of value, so MAGA has been very happy to see FEMA kneecapped. You can already see where I’m going with this, right?

Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, and Arkansas are all about to find out what it feels like to suffer a tremendous natural disaster, then not have any help coming. 47 pretended that’s what happened in South Carolina and he told that lie over and over, in an effort to smear Biden. But now it’s likely to be true. No help for the desperate in a time of need, or, at least, not enough help.

It’s been on my mind, of course, because I live in California. We have fires. They’re often very bad. I’ve been wondering what would happen the next time something took flame, causing increasing damage as a direct result of climate change, with no FEMA to help. It’s a problem California is going to have because so many MAGA have such corrupted morals they voted the Antichrist into office – or so the story goes.

True confession time: I’m sorry for the loss of life, but MAGA conditioning has completely stripped them of empathy. So completely, in fact, that MAGA has to actually experience something in order to understand the implications and ramifications. So, I’m glad the red states are getting what they voted for, first. Yes, climate change IS going to hit and hurt California but as it happens, it hits everywhere, all the time – including red states.

They’re all taker states, too, more heavily latched on to the public teat than California. They’re poor. They’re less likely to be able to muster the resources needed to help themselves, based on the reality that they’ve never been able to in the past. And now Uncle Sugar may not be there for them when they’re in need.

The entire world is going to suffer because MAGA chose to live in fantasy land. I consider it a good thing that they get to experience the reality of their choice before the rest of us have to. Now all they have to do is figure out a way to blame Biden for creating the storms in the first place…
