it also seemed the most mockable of all the crap that happened yesterday. there's really not much humor to be mined from learning that it's actually Nosferatu McGoebbels who's been ordering the military to blow up Venezuelan fishing boats. ugh

It'd just astonishing to me that pouty "pro-Palestinians" refused last year to vote for Harris to "teach Democrats a lesson" when Trump family members (looking at YOU, Jared Kushner) made it clear before the election that they would do this.

President Nosferatu's got the troops marching into American cities and he's gotten Donnie Demento to give the troops permission to use full force. And the Extreme Court reversed every legal precedent in the last 250 years to allow the thugs to stop and detain any person they want to, based on how that person looks to them.

Apparently Dumpy didn't know anything about Kegsbreath's big meeting with all tge generals at first, either. But of course once he found out where the spotlight would be on 30 September, Dumly decided to crash the party. So - all of the US leaders with stars will be concentrated in one location in the US today, plus the president. Any terrorist with any brains would find that a beautiful target to bomb the shit out of. Or, to attack bases around the world while the leadership is absent.

To America’s Disgrace Trump,

I caught only part of your rambling, bumbling, moronic, divisive, hate-mongering, lie-filled RANT (no intelligent person would refer to your “speech” as anything other than a RANT) this morning, and it is obvious to me that all of our nation’s generals and admirals are now fully aware of what the leaders of foreign nations were already aware of – that you, a bone-spurs coward of the highest order, are completely unfit to serve as our nation’s so-called commander in chief.

I composed this form letter for American Citizens to send to every Senator and Congressperson:

Dear Senator __________(or Dear Representative ___________),

It is not possible to be so ignorant that you are not aware that the President of the United States is a liar, a fraud, a con, a grifter, a puppet of Putin, a traitor, a convicted felon, a law-breaker, an inciter of violence, a scumbag, a sexual predator, a friend and associate of one of the worst pedophiles in the history of the U.S., an abuser of human and civil rights, a racist, a fascist, a person who has populated his cabinet (and other important positions) with inept, incompetent people who are endangering the safety and security of our country, and our nation's presidential accident and disgrace.

We, The People, damn well know that you are aware of these facts! Therefore, do it now, get rid of Trump. Impeach!

We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

(End of letter)

Trump, going further, I agree with ANTIFAscist ideology! The term “ANTI” means “not in favor of; against”. The term “PRO” means “in favor of; for”. Anyone who is against anti-fascism is pro-fascism, pro-Nazi. Scum-of-the-earth Hitler was a NAZI. Scum-of-the-earth Hitler was a FASCIST.

I stand against Fascism. I stand for Democracy.

So did my father, who was an officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WW2; a Navigator in a Heavy Bomber Squadron. He and his crew, stationed in Southern Italy, completed 50 missions, bombing FASCIST NAZI facilities in Europe.

So did my father-in-law, who was a First Sargent in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WW2; he worked at the battalion headquarters of Heavy Bomber Group based outside of London. His Heavy Bomber Group completed hundreds, if not thousands, of missions against FASCIST NAZI facilities in Europe.

I also want to let you know that I’ve nominated you for THE PRIZE! The prize that you’ve earned. The prize that you deserve. The Novel Piece-Of-Shit Prize.

You will go down in history as the WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. The MOST. DISGUSTING. PRESIDENT. EVER. You will go down in history as AMERICA’S PRESIDENTIAL ACCIDENT & DISGRACE. Although it would be my preference for you to suffer a massive debilitating stroke or a massive heart attack before you are put in prison, I would certainly be fine with you being put in prison before you suffer your final demise.

We’re getting on with the most important project of the 21st century – PROJECT 86-47+25.”
