I still say it’s terrorism. The new program of deporting people to maximum security prisons with no charges, no trials, and certainly no convictions has, at it’s heart, a goal of terrorizing people into not coming into the United States along with terrorizing non-citizens who are here – legally or otherwise – to leave.

The United States government used to prosecute terrorists. Now? They’ve become terrorists. In my opinion, Bizarro America isn’t going well, at all…

In their latest excuse for why they won’t bring home the legal resident they wrongly deported to a maximum security prison in El Salvador without charge, trial, or conviction, the regime said the corrupt Roberts Kangaroo court only ordered them to “facilitate” the man’s return, not “effectuate.”

Oh, what frolicking fun, playing semantic games. It’s too bad there are actual human beings having their entire lives turned upside down and destroyed while all of this joyful merriment is going on. Remember, kids, if you support elimination of due process for others today, you’re supporting elimination of due process for YOU tomorrow.

I think it’s bad attitude stuff. I’m told we’re not supposed to call them Nazis because they haven’t murdered millions yet. (Hey, it takes a little time to work up to that kind of stuff.) Instead, I would like to suggest ‘Snotzies.’ It feels like it captures the moment AND the attitude…

Every time a President, or in this case Felon 47, goes on a trip, short or long, it cost money. Lots and lots of money. When he goes golfing, as he does most weekends, it costs millions of dollars. Every time. When he wanted to take a lap at a raceway, millions. When he wanted to go to the Stupid Bowel. Millions. He went to a UFC event the other night. Millions more. I wonder if that’s what MAGA had in mind when 47 talked about all of that “saving” he was going to do for the American people.

As of March 30 of this year, it is estimated he spend over $26 million taxpayer dollars. Golfing. And we KNOW the number has gone up substantially since he spent the entirety of his economic crash cheating on golf courses. I suppose if I was MAGA – and thank the gods, I’m not – I would excuse his extravagance at my expense by pretending that ‘Presidentin’ is hard and he needs rest. I would read his absence in the face of disaster as a calm face, not worried about the disaster he was creating.

Granted, I ALSO wouldn’t acknowledge it was a disaster of his own creation and maybe that it wasn’t even a disaster. Sometimes, I think it must be tiring, being MAGA and constantly having to engage in mental gymnastics to keep all of the excuses in the air and working at the same time. I mean, it must be exhausting.

But I’m not MAGA, so I think he’s just malingering. I think he’s playing WAY too much golf. I think he’s wasting WAY too much taxpayer money – especially since he’s pretending he wants to cut costs on everything, everywhere. As this thing moves forward, though, it looks like he wants to cut costs on everything that doesn’t benefit him, directly. He just really understands the need for expenses related to his pleasures, so those are okay.

Speaking of which, if I could get a little help from MAGA, I’d appreciate it. Would you please point me to the moment or moments on the campaign trail where he told you flatly that in order to save the economy, he had to crash it and let it burn? All I can find is him promising, over and over, he had a plan to fix the economy “on day one.” All I can find is him promising it was going to be easy.

I DID hear Musk saying people were going to suffer, so I know that’s out there. I’m also aware that 47 confessed things weren’t going to be easy AFTER the “election” but before being sworn in, but by then, MAGA had cast their votes for lower prices. They just didn’t GET lower prices.

So, if you could show me, please, when he told you, on the campaign trail, that everything was going to be more expensive, you’re going to lose your Social Security, AND that your 401k was going to lose thousands of dollars, well, that would be great. I mean, he keeps saying he’s doing what voters voted for. It feels, to me, like he promised “up” and his supporters voted for “up,” but all he has delivered is “down.” Maybe it’s just me…
