“Lake America” is Trump’s bladder – and he can’t control that either!

Yes, it is still Lake Ontario – where Whitman wrote “By Blue Ontario’s shore” – and where I live.

In his current trade war with Canada, Trump has no more cards to play, because he switches cards in mid-play. One may think he’s acting smart, but this is a dumb business maneuver, when the other people in the market can’t trust what you’re saying. There is no deal possible when Trump himself does not honor the deals he claims to make. America’s “endgame” is already playing out – we are losing all our allies, losing respect, losing money and market share – I’m not Canadian, I’m American, and this “president” doesn’t represent me – and he even says so! He is not president of all Americans, so what deal can he make for us. This situation is ridiculous, and Trump is acting self-destructively (possibly due to dementia). Very sad; if you are also American, you will suffer too.

Current Canadian political leaders are mainly centrist liberal, as are many Democrats – but their goals and national loyalties are separate. It is in the nature of conspiracy theorists to conflate political philosophies they don’t understand as some weirdly coded message. It seems, strangely, to re-assure them to believe that people different from themselves are ganging up on them – perhaps providing a “circle the wagons” emotional connectedness with others of their ilk.

Currently, MAGA are trying to puff up a propaganda cloud around Canada to convince Americans to hate Canadians. It is filled with lies and nonsense. Some of the lies I’ve heard and read include:

“Canada, China, and the Democratic Party are colluding to rig the mid-term elections.” “Canadians jeer and laugh at American veterans.” “Canada’s economy is already cratering so they will come begging to Trump.” “Canada has ripped the US off for billions in unreported tariffs.” “Canada has no military.” “Military from Canada has only ever acted as observers, piggy-backing on American troops.” “Canada’s national health system excludes whites.” “American taxes pay for Canadian television.” “Alberta is planning to secede from Canada and ask to become an American state, things are so awful there.” “Canada wants to act like a state without becoming a state.” And, of course, “Canadians are communists!” – communists are everywhere; I may have some hiding under my bed….

None of this makes any sense. Some of it appears to be coming out of Russia, but some of it is homegrown. It really begs the question, how has our own education system failed so many that we can have people this ignorant of history, of economics, of international affairs. The sheer stupidity of it all is staggering. But it won’t work. Most Americans feel bonded with the Canadians, respect the Canadian people and their government – even if we may not fully understand it, we recognize the values involved as quite similar to our own. And we have access to information – and to our own experiences* – that assure us of the friendship, decency, and loyalty of the Canadian people, and of the history of America’s long alliance with Canadian governments. MAGA, you appear to have been born failures, and most of us recognize this – or you’ve just drunk so much of your orange god’s kool-aid you’re stoned out of your minds. Pity; if you ever crawl out of your cult, we may find a place for you in civil society yet….

*That many MAGA have no experience with Canadians as reference, is perhaps the most troubling aspect of this – The Trump cult appears to be made up largely with people who have rarely been out of rather isolated communities and social networks, who are thus free to imagine all sorts of evils reported to them concerning the wider world. Pace popular opinion, MAGA isn’t trying to take America back to the 1950s or the 19th century – they seem hell-bent on taking us back to the dark ages.

Parody written in 2016. Still True, unfortunately

Excerpt from a previous post, satirizing the presidential debate that year (“Mod.” = moderator.):

Mod.: Another question for you, Mr. Trump, from Marvin Electorate, concerning foreign policy.

Electorate: Mr. Trump what strategy do you have in mind that would include possible use of nuclear weapons in Iraq?

Trump: Strategy? I don’t need no stinking strategy! What are you, a plant? Clinton put you up to this? Is this debate rigged? Let’s talk about my huge support, by bulging manhood, my big brain. You can see from my head-size, right? Big brain, very big.

Clinton: May I address this, because I believe the threat of use of nuclear weapons actually increases the danger in the mid-east –

Trump: Shut up you cow! the risk of you cheating on your husband threatens a big reality TV show in the near future, you know, like Hulk Hogan?

Mod.: Candidates, please, let’s confine our discussion to the issues at hand.

Never ending war and never ending shame (History is never fair to the foolish)

How many thousands did Israel and America kill in their bombing raids? How many American military have been killed opr wounded in this fiasco? WE DON”T KNOW, because the Pentagon under Hegseth cannot be trusted to provide us with real information – only video-game style images of big explosions – murder porn, of which Trump is a big fan.

The “deal” Trump’s people are trying to work out with Iran is basically the Obama-Kerry deal only with many more benefits for Iran. Trump will declare victory – in fact he has surrendered. Because Trump is a loser (although I’m sure he’s getting some millions of dollars in the deal, which is all he cares about.) My guess is, this is at the urging of Rubio, the only member of the Trump regime with real foreign policy experience ( in the Senate), and Rubio is desperate for regime change in Cuba. (Trump has his military commit murder at sea on a routine basis. Now he wants to cause chaos for no other reason than he has lost the war in Iran.) Which will spark a humanitarian crisis that will shake the foundations of the Cuban diaspora in Florida – these people have no idea the problems they’re creating. This is a mess, this is as shame, this is what the MAGA cult has led us to.

The Israeli theocracy just doesn’t understand that they can’t kill enough Moslems to secure their claim to the (outdated) Kingdom of Judea. There will never be peace while Israel is dominated by the Ultra-Orthodox. They will always be insulting and injuring Moslems and Moslems will respond in kind. The situation is hopeless, and America’s best position is OUT OF IT! Unfortunately, we have a madman in the White House who trusts the Israeli promise that he can make money out of all this…

Orange crazy person deluded into thinking he matters to Bibi! LOL! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Trump should not have started this war – because there is no backing out. “Cutting losses” is a loser in his view. But so is staying forever. And so is on-ground invasion. I don’t know what winning would mean for America (and Trump doesn’t either). Frankly, there’s no winning, there is just losing. No planning so no way out. (Trump’s only plan – if it can be called that – was “get the oil!” – “nukes,” my backside! Americans have been suckered again, my friends.) Trump lost – America shamed. Tragic.

Trump has buggered us all, but especially his MAGA cultists. When his big ugly ballroom, grifted from tax-payer funds, collapses when he’s gone, no one will miss it – no one will miss him, either – no one will miss the MAGA thugs who worship him.

Trump’s drooling rant tonight – April 1, 2026 – could this be an April Fool’s joke – or just a joke of a fool who’s president.

This is written before Trump’s demented rant tonight. But I’m imagining his speech so Idon’t actually have to pay attention to it. Why should I? going into any of speech he could make in the present context, and knowing who he is by now, let’s just picture him trying to look presidential behind some desk or podium.

We all know the style and substance (Trump’s style is his substance): he’ll whine about the 2020 election; he’ll whine about how “leftists” judges are against him, he’ll whine about his big beautiful ballroom that just got enjoined against, and he’ll whine about birthright citizenship, he’ll whine about mail-in voting and his wish for a national voter registration; he’ll whine about Democrats in Congress and his wish for more money for ICE. He’ll rail against immigrants eating cats and dogs, and how Hispanics are rapist drug-dealers, and he’ll whine about the media being so unfair to him. He’ll whine about the Fed’s rates, and about how nobody gives him credit for a booming economy with prices falling everywhere thanks to his tariffs.

Then he’ll talk somewhat vaguely about Iran, possibly about negotiations that aren’t happening.. He’ll either escalate the war with beachheads on Kharg and the other islands in the Strait; or he’ll chicken out and say he’s done enough damage there, he’s bringing everything home. And he’ll castigate Europe and try to bully them to take over the war he started and threaten to leave NATO if they don’t.

Then he’ll make up some silly stories about windmills and electric cars and sharks and then possibly boast about the Trump Library and how he’s putting his name on everything because he’s the best president ever.

There: cut and paste this comment and you have Trump’s speech; now you won’t have to bother to listen to it.

The nugget of new information will be either a) he’s escalating the war, or b) he’s quitting all together. An incidental nugget would be his threat to leave NATO or actually leaving it – but we all know that’s coming, so it won’t be a surprise when it does.

The fact that he is now this predictable – a TV reality star using shock and surprise as his reputation buffering devices – tells me that while America has slipped into fascism, the emperor’s new clothes are now nothing but tattered rags made out of – nothing. But they always were, it’s just undeniable now, as is his dementia. This is the end of America, in some sense – certainly the end of any respect owed to the presidency – that’s over.

LATER:

It actually turned out to be even more vacuous than expected. Short form: ‘Obama/Biden bad, I did really wonderful things, Iran was close to nukes, we’ve won everything I wanted, soon it’ll be over, because -‘

‘But really: “Tonight, I’m pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion.” Wouldn’t it be great if he could tell us what those strategic objectives are? And who’s writing this speech, Trump doesn’t even know what a strategic objective is. So basically a wasted half-hour (so far) of re-iteration of things he’s been claiming for weeks, no news – he just wanted to grab the news-cycle – his ego has become political agenda. And we’ve all been taken for a ride on the Trump photo-op train – again. What a buncha crap! Don’t we all feel a little used?

Unnecessary, illegal war – again. Trump the fool leads us – and the world – further into hell.

Time to talk about the end game – if there is one. Trump, of course, has no idea what he is doing, and the members of his regime have been quite clear about the fact that there is no plan. How can we commit the lives of our soldiers in a major conflict just by ‘winging it’? Well, it makes sense if we remember that Trump doesn’t care about the lives of others, and thinks soldiers are “losers” anyway. He’s just hoping that at the end of the slaughter, he’ll be able to cash in some how – “Trump Tower Tehran, OK?”

The Israeli “plan” for regime change seems clear to me, given the trajectory of their strategy and tactics in the region’s geopolitics: They want Iran to fall into anarchy, which will resolve into a return to tribalism and break-up of the country. (They would like the return of the Pahlavis but only some in the Mossad and MAGA think the Iranians would accept this.) With Iran collapsed as a failed state, Israel would be able to strut their stuff in the region. But for how long? Islamicists are not going anywhere. I just see suffering and bloodshed for many years to come out of this. What that means for the US? We’ve just put our foot into quicksand made of horse manure, and all we get from Trump is BS.

DISBAND ICE! END OCCUPATION! OPPOSITION TO TRUMP’S CIVIL WAR!

Another week – another murder of a peaceful protestor by MAGA-thug Gestapo, Trump’s private army, with clear orders to intimidate, beat and kill people who object to Trump’s fascism. This isn’t simply divisive, it’s a civil war. If the Democratic Party will not fight for us as an opposition party, we resisters must build a network of opposition! Things are going to get worse, and we must be prepared for further bloodshed; and we must begin planning how to overthrow the Trump regime and try to restore the Constitutional government for which he has shown such disrespect, and whose laws he continues to break.

And where are the Democratic politicians in Congress? are they still trying to work with the Republican scum in Congress who have shown nothing but hatred for their own constituents – if not their own hatred, but channeling the hatred of the MAGA Trump cult? The Democrats must become the party of NO – no more fascism, no more Trump, no more ICE thuggery!

The commercial media – the so-called “mainstream Media,” which has so long ‘normalized’ Trump, which has cowered before his threatened lawsuits – they cannot be trusted! We must develop the kind of alternative media, alternative communications the way the rightists have. We need to fight fire with fire and stop hiding behind pusillanimous both-side-ism, “well, maybe this, maybe that” ambiguity, and rigid commitments to not get involved.

Get involved – this is your fight, too! Or one day you will hear the grim news that someone you love has been murdered by ICE. Where will you hide then?

Two Notes: The Fascist Corruption We Live With

1
Corruption is patented by the Trump Organization – trademarked by Donnie’s father. It’s the family legacy. Every society legislates behavior to some degree. The problem with Trump’s fascism is that it is lawless and thus subverts the rule of law and thus dissolves civic responsibility.
The judge in the Comey case says they jiggered the Grand Jury system in order to get the indictment! Their corruption is worn by them as a badge of honor – why? because Trump’s a conman who fooled 77 million people into voting for him, so he brought a team of fellow criminals to spit in the face of the American people and their political institutions.
Paul Ingrassia is going to be deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration. He is not a “conservative activist” or a “justice warrior” as Kash Patel dubs him; he’s a known racist with a self-proclaimed “Nazi streak” advocating suppressing black American culture , and encouraging white supremacy; he is also loosely but undeniably linked to a known sex trafficker and pedophile, whom he has defended on the internet. This is a criminal, garbage fascist regime, corrupt through and through – utterly unfit and illegitimate. “No enemies to the right!” – Steve Bannon – MAGA may be split inside but with the GOP’s blessing they remain a dangerous united terrorist front to the rest of us.
Trump is NOT “pushing for release of Epstein files” – he’s telling the Congressional GOP, ‘go ahead, vote for that’ (direct quote:) I DON’T CARE.” Note that this still allows him power of veto; note that he has power to release the files without Congressional vote; note that he still has time to order Bondi to shredd some of the files that might mention him. He’s a coward, dishonest, a liar. Corruption in full effect: The files will be well laundered by Trump’s Department of Injustice before we get to see them.
2
We have troops in the street; Musk has access to our data; venues of dissent and information are getting shut down; opponents of Trump are getting prosecuted. This is all Fascism 101. Some may be happy living under Dear Leader Trump, but most of us are not. This is not about the “left” but about a coalition of resistance.
Trump is a Stalinist-Fascist dictator. Stalinism is a dictatorial political philosophy bent on control of the economy by fiat; fascism is a dictatorial political philosophy based on a personality cult of social control. Both use force and the threat of force to suppress the will of the people. I don’t see much difference; it’s not a question of left or right.
The Regime breaking the law and committing murder is doing something very bad to us – it’s destroying the fabric of our society! Fear is the message – Trump wants an oppressed citizenry so he can pretend the silence means we love him. Well, diaper Donnie, we will not be silenced, we will resist.

Trump (almost) in the news

Trump (almost) in the news
Because Donald Trump had such a terrible time in the news this week, certain stories concerning him were relegated to the back pages. Only here, where truthiness is next to godlessness, will you find the Trump news that really mattered this week:

TRUMP ADMITS IT: “I SUCK HORSE DONG.”

FN: Somewhere on a ranch in Kentucky, 8/2/16, 5pm EST: Attending an orgy sponsored by Sexy Evangelical Ministries, Republican Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, admitted that he had a fetish for fellating equestrian male organs of generation. “They’re huge! My mouth is huge! We made the deal!” he proclaimed, explaining why he would not be directly participating in the orgy, as his services were needed in the barn. He sent his wife Melania as representative instead – at a $3,000 per partner fee.

UPDATE 5am: Orgy organizers report that, as the orgy at last wound down, Melania’s performance had raised $9,000 for the Trump campaign, while an exhausted candidate was last seen running over a hill attempting to escape an estimated 50 stallions wanting more.

TRUMP ADOPTED, MAY HAVE MURDERED REAL MOM

FN: Butthole, Pennsylvania, 8/3/16, 2pm: At a press conference earlier today, an emotional Donald J. Trump, Republican candidate for President, announced that he had recently discovered that he had been adopted. He also confessed that this discovery was made by New Jersey police investigating his alleged murder of his birth mother, Illyanka Stinkoff, an illegal immigrant from Russia, who was employed as Trump’s maid when, it is said, he flew into a rage at her remarking his small hands. Witnesses say he then stabbed her multiple times with a pen-knife, the only knife small enough for him to grasp properly. It is further alleged that Chris Christy, governor of Virginia at the time, helped secret the body to an as yet undisclosed dumpster.

Trump was boastful of his adoption by the elder Trumps. “I mean, how could you blame them? One look at me, even as a baby, y’know, you can tell how smart, how articulated, how strong I’ve become.” As to his birth mother, he expressed disappointment: “Look, she was a loser. She couldn’t make money so she sold me. Am I for sale? For sure! But my price is well above rubies – I know, I own a jewelry store in Canarsie! Alright it went bankrupt – but not because of the rubies!” Without denying guilt in his mother’s murder, Trump further noted: “Most of us get an urge to commit the mom-death thing, we all know that. I mean especially if she’s Mexican or Muslim, who’s to blame for that? The Mom of course! Didn’t she have a choice to abort? Coat-hangers are everywhere!” Trump also reminded the handful of reporters he’d allowed in the room that his supporters knew he was the “best friend” of a lot of women everywhere, and would not care much whether he had murdered one or not. “They want America great again and only me can do that!”

Later, at the Butthole White Supremacist Club for a photo-op, Trump announced he would sue the Police Department of Atlantic City for even suggesting that he may have committed the crime, adding, “Look, I’m not adopted, I never said I was. I don’t know who this maid was, I never met her.” He then went on with a brief speech declaring that, unlike many “liberal demagogues like Mitt Romney,” he had no prejudice against White Supremacists and would fight discriminatory practices against them, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1965.

TRUMP EATS DOG FECES AT KENNEL CONVENTION

FN: Shittus, New Jersey, 8/4/16, 3pm: Attending the convention of the American Puppy Mill Kennel Owners, Donald J. Trump, Republican candidate for President, told supporters that he was inspired by the plight of encaged canines to offer a new line of snack sausage, made from “recycled dog food.” After they eat it, it comes out no worse for wear.” He bent behind a defecating Great Dane , scooped the source material for his new product and took a bite. “Hey, can’t tell the difference between this and a taco, anyway!” He then pointed out that since dogs poop freely, expenses for production of the new snack would be relatively low. “Except of course for my start-up fee and royalties. But don’t worry, sales will be so huge, this wouldn’t be missed.” Concerning rumors that Trump was in negotiations with Vladimir Putin over possible Russian manufacture of the new snack, Trump shouted, “Now that’s a vicious charge, as I have never even spoken with Putin, and I told Vlad that myself! Besides, if any peoples know how to eat dog doo its Russians. It’s healthier than caviar!”

TRUMP WHIPS REPUBLICANS INTO LINE

FN: Bleeding Sore, Wyoming, 8/5/16, Darkest Hour of the Night: At a major gathering of Republican Party leaders, Donald J. Trump, candidate for the presidency, assured his followers that the Party was never more united than in supporting his campaign. “Even that puny little four-eyed mole Paul Ryan likes me. And Mitch McConnell? That sad fat bag of dung? He’s behind me 110%! I know, because I threatened to support him in his next run for office, and he buckled like the lilly-livered pig he is! Republicans all love me! Even those who say, ‘nah, I’ll never back Trump,’ they’re just lying so they can get re-elected, I understand that – I understand everything! When the people sweep me into office, there’ll be hell to pay for all involved! But you’ll still be able to buy my book, written by that corrupt ghost-writer I’m suing, at 50% mark-up. Autographed copies, signed by the professional Trump-impersonator I’ve hired at minimum wage, will cost an additional thousand bucks.” He then produced a whip and began flailing the hides off the Republican leaders, admonishing them: “Say it loud! We love Trump, we love Trump!” Soon the depurate wailing of the Party elite could be heard through the night: “Oh please god, stop! We love -ow, agony! – We love Trump, We yieeeeee, nooo! – We love Trump!” But as dawn approached, the wretched squealing slowly faded into groans as the dying gave up their last gasp of air…. Trump is scheduled to address the Society for Suicidal Masochists later today.

TRUMP DECLARES VICTORY, SAYS “ELECTION NO LONGER NEEDED”

FN: Not Washington DC, Washington, 8/6/16, 1pm: Republican candidate for president, Donald J. Trump held a press conference in an office he had especially built for the occasion. “Look around you, gentlemen – and you girls too, if you’re not having PMS. The shape of the office – it’s huge, it’s white, but most importantly – it’s oval – that’s right, it’s my Oval Office! I am now the President of the United States. We all know the people love me – even the towel-heads, the darkies, the kikes, the spics, the chinks – they all love me – Everybody loves me, we all know that. So I think it’s fair to say that an election in November would be a waste of time. I am hereby declaring myself the winner! We don’t need all the legal rigmarole with the courts to get this deal done! All we need is for lyin’ Hillary to throw in the towel. So I’m going to make her a deal – a hundred million? maybe two hundred? And a hotel chain under her name – the Hillary Hiltons! We can get this done, we really can!” At this point, the conference was interrupted when the contractor hired to build the office, undocumented alien Juan Vortex, politely asked for his wages. Trump exploded in what can only be called a rage: “You raping, drug-peddling, murdering Muslim! Get outta here before I have Manafort punch you down.” Turning to the reporters in his audience, he went on, “See what I gotta deal with! The ingratitude! And after I had given him the privilege to work for me. People need to remember who’s boss around here.”

The Clinton campaign refused comment, although an anonymous insider admitted that Clinton remarked that she wouldn’t sleep in any hotel with her name on it.

The Civil Rights Movement must be our guiding light – they suffered for the nation’s sins – now we suffer for our mistake this past election.

What is happening in Los Angeles is merely the beginning, we are entering the era of a full-on police state. Cynical anarchists and libertarians once decried America as a police state; well, their cynicism helped bring it about, in their apathy and condemnation of democratic culture and its problems – and opportunities. A self-fulfilling prophecy – well, this is what it really looks like – authoritarian control of the law, the military, the institutions of education, public health and human service agencies…. And of course, armed troops in the streets – “Everywhere!” Trump promises.

Protestors will be killed… not because they are insurrectionists (they’re not)… not because they are endangering the officers and troops (they’re not)… but simply because Trump wants them to die, he wants to see their pain and they’re blood flowing … and so, apparently do the agents and troops who are shooting at reporters, and beating protestors, and trampling protestors under horses hooves. No one condones the protestors who enact rioting, but that’s not why Trump sent in the troops, he just wants Americans dead in California, a state he hates. This is horrifying, but also reason to resist and protest. Be willing to present yourselves to the toughest criminal policing, be prepared. Organize effective resistance. No use waiting for the Democratic Party. Organize resistance and let the leadership manifest itself and those will be your leaders in the struggle to restore democracy. Restore, because it is lost, this is not a democratic republic, this is a fascist regime, and only one party dominates the government, the fascist Republican Party, and this is what we must ultimately confront with a new party, a democratic resistance/ opposition party. Organize the resistance and let the leadership grow out of that.

Again, remember: The Civil Rights movement of the 1950s faced police dogs and billy clubs and nights in stinking urban jails, threats of shooting, bombings of churches, lynchings. Despite the terror and brutality, and losses and threats, they marched on to promote the idea, the hope, of a better republic, a more democratic republic that recognized equality before the law for all men and women. Do not let the fascists win, do not let the neo-Confederates or the Christian Nationalists win, do not let the oligarchs win. The struggle will be hard, but the stakes are the highest – they are the future for your children and grandchildren to live a better United States than the one we suffer through now.
