The B.U.S. – that’s ‘Bizarro United States’ – government is sending letters to American citizens telling them to “self-deport.” I get it. The idea is to run, rough-shod, over everything. Sending out mass letters to, what, a given zip code, seems a little… sloppy. It seems as though the regime isn’t really trying to get it right. They’re just trying to scare everybody. I don’t mean to minimize that. They’re doing a FINE job, scaring everybody.

Dr Lisa Anderson is an American citizen. According to a photo I’ve seen, she appears white. Yet she received a letter from immigration telling her to “self-deport” immediately. She currently lives in Connecticut but she was born in Pennsylvania. Does she “self-deport” to Pennsylvania? Will that satisfy the demands of immigration? The letter she received said, “If you are an alien, being in the United States is a privilege — not a right.” That may be true but I’m starting to feel like if you’re an American citizen, being trapped in the United States is a punishment, not a privilege.

The regime’s entire approach is based in lies. I believe this to be true because they WILL NOT present their evidence in court. EVER! I have lived my entire life KNOWING that a person who will not present their evidence is lying. It’s kind of “entry level” stuff, you know?

Attacking the immigrant community is simply a set-up. The Don of Destruction is laying the groundwork to kidnap Americans and make them disappear, too. Right now, MAGA thinks it’s a great thing, deporting brown people. MAGA will happily pretend those brown people are all criminals because that lie gives them the justification they need in order to be cruel to brown people.

MAYBE a case could be made that B.U.S. was “only” deporting undocumented people – until BUS started deporting legal residents. They’re STILL brown, though, so MAGA still thinks it’s great. I don’t think it will be too much longer, though, until B.U.S. “deports” an American citizen to a foreign prison based on assertions, not actual charges or convictions. I expect he’ll be a bad guy, or portrayed as one, anyway, but it’s coming, and soon…

I saw a meme from ‘The Onion’ that read, “Sadly,” Felon 47 “was found alive and well this morning at Mar-a-Lago.” The sub-head read, “There’s always a chance for tomorrow’s obituaries.” This is a fast-growing sentiment here in this once-great nation. “Why doesn’t he just die, already?”

I think if he would do the world that service, MAGA would start to fall apart pretty quickly. I know he’s surrounded by a team of like-minded, anti-American authoritarians so it seems like MAGA would just carry on as normal. The thing is, 47 has some kind of weird charisma I don’t see from anyone else around him. I know, it seems wrong to apply that word, charisma, to The Drumpfster. We associate charisma, generally, with people we respect, and he clearly is NOT a good person. Hitler had the same charisma.

You see, “charisma” only refers to a person who arouses fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm. It could be – it was – JFK or Dr King. But it might also be Jim Jones or Charles Manson. And 47 certainly arouses MAGA. Sure, the rest of the world recognizes a clown when they see one but MAGA (and, apparently, Bill Maher) are easily fooled and Oh! Em! GEE! do they love that guy. I’m not sure there’s anyone who can replicate what the Don of Destruction is able to pull off.

Then again, when Caesar destroyed the Roman republic, he didn’t live long enough to take full advantage of it. But because of the actions he had taken, and with all the pieces in place, Caesar’s adopted son, Augustus, just stepped in and formalized the empire. The republic never returned. The thing is, Augustus was competent. Which of The Felon’s children could step up and take over? It takes a combination of charisma and skill. Donny has the charisma, evil though it may be. The Heritage Foundation brings the skill but the implementation still requires an audacity of trumpery. Those in The Drumpfster’s circle, generally speaking, have neither or, at least, have never displayed either.

The only way we’ll know, for sure, of course, is if he dies. I mean, to be clear, this is just a thought experiment, a kind of a guess. But I really would like the opportunity to find out what happens to MAGA when Donny dies and that’s an experiment I would like to see start sooner rather than later. Do you think he’ll accommodate?

Donny promised on the campaign trail that he would end the Russia/Ukraine war quickly, on Day One. No, even sooner. He promised it was going to be so easy, he’d get it done even before the inauguration. He failed. Like, completely. It’s simple. He promised he would end the war, he hasn’t – CAN’T – end the war. That’s a complete failure, I don’t care HOW loyal you are. He failed.

On the campaign trail, he promised he would just get the principles on the phone and say, “Look, you son-of-a-bitch…” The gullible cons lapped that up with a spoon and cheered loudly. But it turns out, in REAL negotiations, the people on the other side of the table will wait for the rest of that sentence – and 47 had NO IDEA how to finish that sentence.

“Look, you son-of-a-bitch…”
“You were saying?”
“Um… stop this… or else!”
“Da. Or else… what?”
“Waaaaaah!”

He likes talking like a tough guy but in reality he ONLY ever punches down, at people with far less power than him. That’s NEVER tough. It’s cowardly. When he’s confronted by people who also enjoy a little power, 47 often LOOKS as stupid as he acts. In the latest example, he’s now saying that if they don’t stop fighting, he’s going to pull the ultimate trumpery: he’ll call them names and turn his back. Ooh, that’ll show ’em.

The Cowardly Liar is way, way, WAY out of his depth. It’s just sad. Bigly sad…
