Quit Political Game of Chicken & Do Your Job

The political Red and Blue Teams are 27 days into their game of economic chicken.  Both sides want the public to believe they are not capable of resolving differences.  The answer is they are unwilling to do the job required of them.

Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time.  The never ending political campaign has turned every vote into a W or L.  Most people can recall the spoiled kid in their school who had to win at everything and would lie, cheat, harm or steal to make "a win" happen.   That can be seen in our elected officials.  

Get back to work.  Do your job.  Serve up your best work to Trump II and he'll either sign or veto the funding bill.  

Many corporate and political leaders today are those spoiled kids of yesterday.  Our country should be embarrassed, as should their parents.  After all, we raised them into their roles of public-private service.  

27 days of no empathy, no understanding, no courage and worst of all, no responsibility.  Quit tackling each other and tackle the problems facing the American people.  It's your flipping job.

From "Not Touching" to "Demolishing"

Trump II, the digital Caligula, went from adding a ballroom that would "not touch" the existing White House to demolishing the entire East Wing of the building.  The move came with none of the usual historical oversight.

Sounds like something a predator would do......

Speaking of predators, the financial kind are among the funders of the new ballroom/East Wing: 

...Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon, and Palantir. The guest list also featured oil billionaire Harold Hamm, Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, and cryptocurrency entrepreneurs Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.

71% of Independent voters are dissatisfied with the direction Trump is taking the country.  The group that swings elections has every right to be upset.  The takers take and take and take....

TRUMP XIX 2092

Trump II posted yet another AI video that only a TechGod could love.  Both plan to live forever.  Both usurp God's word and creation nearly ceaselessly, given most of these folks do not sleep.  They generally are not in favor of their worker's sleeping or having a personal life.

Don't sleep, live forever, torture the little people...there is lore regarding such beasts.  

I'll venture the science fiction club has put more thought into 2092 than Trump.  It's clear the kind of future Trump, TechGods and PEU Legends wish to create, one where there are no restraints on their whims or predilections.  Lord, help us all.....

Push Donald, Push

It's not unusual for a 79 year old man to enjoy taking a badly needed dump.  Thanks to AI and Truth Social people have the opportunity to see Trump II's giant defecation make its way through the bowels of a fighter jet and fall on a mostly white crowd of people gathered in the street.  

It's not clear the location of Trump II's expulsionary fantasy given the signs are not in English, normally a requirement in MAGA world.  AI is yet to learn that, despite being "all knowing" like Trump II himself.

Another AI video pictures Blue Team leaders bowing to Trump the King, whose donned robe has fallen off.  

Trump says he wants to go to heaven.  He does not seem serious about improving his chances, not in the least.  You can't push your way in, even if you have legions of earthly followers.  

Red Team's "No Kings" Roots

The original orange tinted Republican expressed concern in 2014 over President Obama's executive orders as monarchical, kingly and unworthy of a democracy. House Speaker John Boehner threatened to sue over this violation.   Karl Rove and Senator Rand Paul got in on the characterization.

Boehner's successor in skin color was relatively restrained in his first White House term.  That went out the door for Trump II, the digital Caligula.  

Every American should be able to say they are against imperial power, indicate they oppose a monarch acting as the law contrary to passed legislation.

However, that is not the case.  Politics is an insufficient way to explain our world, given its ever shifting sands, serial mistruths and mind numbing double standards. 

The foundation of democracy should be more than Bronx Colors Nutmeg WPF06 and a spineless Roundtable.  

Red Team Future Executives

Trump II era Red Team politics has been grooming future leaders to carry on his divisive, selectively enriching policies.  

I long for the days of traditional conservatism, now a mere memory.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's list includes of conservative values includes "human dignity."  I wonder how he'd score the racist chats from Young Republicans who for the most part are channeling their party's CEO.  

You can't call any of this leadership on behalf of our Republic.  It's tribal win lose which is part and parcel to an election but needs to be set aside for governance to occur.

Oh and Congress, Get Back to Work!

Call Back the House, Get to Work

Citizen Trump had this view of the Presidency in past shutdowns:

TRUMP: But if there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together. 

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Who’s going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a — is shutdown of our government? 

TRUMP: Well, if you say who gets fired, it always has to be the top. I mean, problems start from the top, and they have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room, and he’s got to lead.

Trump golfed twice instead of "getting people together" and fired government workers vs. those at the top.  One Red Team Senator called the firings punitive.  I would go further and call it abusive.

Politics is an insufficient way to explain our world, given its ever shifting sands, serial mistruths and mind numbing double standards.  

Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time.  Get back to work and do the people's business!

Update 10-14-25:  A recent poll showed:

Some 67% of the 1,154 respondents said Republicans deserve “at least a fair amount” of blame for the shutdown as it stretched into Day 10, while 63% said the same of Democrats. President Donald Trump also drew scrutiny with 63% saying he deserved a share of the blame.

Get back to work. 

Trump II: King of "Just Us" Comedy

So much of what Trump II, the digital Caligula, says is highly comedic. Trump dusted off the "lock him up" chant for a sitting governor and major city mayor. He went after a judge randomly assigned to the James Comey case, which may fall apart before it ever gets to trial.

Doing his stupid memes and just f-ing around...  It gets a belly laugh now and then.  That helps deal with the fatiguing nature of Trump's incessant whining and savage whiming.  

Leave Ranting Old Man Behind

Trump II continues his retaliation game even against judges he appointed.  His "ignoble irreality" has no patience for judicial appeals.  

Our nation's most recent insurrectionist uses the word insurrection to describe normal judicial procedure and decision making.  The days are dark and growing darker with each new Trump "savage whim."

This morning six C-130's flew in formation over our section of rural West Texas.  That sign occurred after 9-11 in the run up to wars with Afghanistan and Iraq.  Is it an indication for a looming attack on the "already obliterated" Iran?  Wrapping up the Hamas war front is another sign.  Israel has a pattern of buttoning up one conflict before engaging in another.

Reality matters not to Trump II, the digital Caligula.  Portland is "on fire" and "burning" with no visible smoke or flames.  A "radical left wing terrorist" assassinated Charlie Kirk, except the assassin had no ties to radical left wing groups.  DEI caused the passenger plane-Army helicopter crash over Reagan National but its not clear how DEI infiltrated the inaccurate altimeter in the Army chopper.

Normally when a perpetually ranting 79 year old man gets things wrong, they aren't the President of the United States.  Unfortunately, that is our situation and his staff, Congress and the Supremes have been hapless and helpless to do anything about it.  That needs to change, because Trump II isn't changing his ceaseless and ever escalating retaliations or his protection of convicted child sex offenders.

Update 10-8-25:  Former White House advisor Miles Taylor said Trump's putting soldiers in cities is to foment a reaction that would justify using troops domestically.  The Hill reported Taylor saying:

The Trump administration’s deployment of troops to U.S. cities is a “false flag” operation meant to provide a rationale for ”harsh crackdowns.” 

“I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop ‘left-wing’ terrorism. He is staging it.”

Update 10-11-25:   Trump II and his goon squad continue to appropriate Charlie Kirk for nefarious purposes.

“Trump deploys outrageous rhetoric to try to legitimate his unconstitutional overreach,” said Peter Shane, who teaches constitutional law at New York University. “Whether it’s the baseless withholding of funds from private institutions that fail to bend the knee or fantasizing about the use of cities with Democratic mayors to train the military, Trump is running roughshod over the laws and traditions that have long sustained a robust American democracy.”

DHS Tool for Trump II's Savage Whims

Trump II's ignoble irreality went into overdrive on the White House lawn.  His "Just Us" department did such a bad job stating the case for sending National Guard troops into Portland that a Trump appointed Judge rejected the legal basis for such a move.

Courts require evidence, i.e. more than an erroneous presidential assertion.  

DHS Chief Kristi Noem has it out for Bad Bunny, the halftime show entertainer, who was born in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory.  People born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens, no different than Kristi Noem.  

An ICE raid on Super Bowl ticket holders may garner a few candidates for the Trump Gold Card.  There could be a big haul on the concession side, but does Noem want to hear blowback from wealthy seat holders not being able to buy drinks and munchies.  

Noem's statement about the NFL's sleep patterns is absurd. The organization already has trouble sleeping after the domestic terror attack that targeted their office in New York City.  

The DHS Chief might be better off redirecting her resources to young men who live nearly exclusively online, play violent video games and spend time on Discord being ironic.  She may wish to reduce their access to high powered weapons or intervene if they plan "to take someone out" as they have the chance.

To sum up, Portland, not burning.  Judge, selected by Trump.  Bad Bunny, U.S. citizen.  NFL, organization with no need for sleep cycles.  

Trump picked the judge that held up his appropriation of Oregon National Guard troops just as he picked Kristi Noem.  The judge did his job regardless of politics while Noem does her job exclusively to please her petulant boss, desperate to impose his savage whims.  

Our country needs more people like the judge and fewer people like Kristi Noem in important government positions.  God bless us all.

Update 10-7-25:  Politico reported on another Trump II enabler, "Just Us" Department Chief Pam Bondi.

Trump II Shanks Shutdown

Flashback (from CNN):

TRUMP: But if there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together. 

 UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Who’s going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a — is shutdown of our government? 

TRUMP: Well, if you say who gets fired, it always has to be the top. I mean, problems start from the top, and they have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room, and he’s got to lead.

This has been today's lesson in the Trump Rule which compels him to say whatever he believes in the present moment will optimize his image.  You could play that back in front of him and he would say "I never said that.  That's AI."

Just as the video of Trump shanking a shot in front of the green is also AI.  True to form, Trump's standards for other Presidents do not apply to him.  He hit the course today instead of getting people together to reopen the government.

Welcome to crazy town where brains are broken every day.  To heal your brain remember the Trump rule:

Trump says in the present moment what he believes will optimize his image.

There is no other rule.  It has zero to do with reality or his developing prerogative state:

See E Fraenkel, The Dual State, pp xiii, 3, 71 (1941) (describing the way in which the creation of a ‘Prerogative State’ where the Executive ‘exercises unlimited arbitrariness … unchecked by any legal guarantees’ is incompatible with the rule of law)

Or the rules of golf....

Update 10-7-25:  Neither the President or Congress are doing their job as the shutdown nears Day 7..  Get together people!

Update 10-12-25:  Trump hit the links again for the second weekend in a row since the shutdown began.  Shank you very much for your attention to this matter.  

Musk "Remote Challenged" with Netflix Transcott

Brilliant inventor Elon Musk has targeted LGBTQ+ programming on Netflix with his call for a boycott.  Musk as the ability to watch 3,590 other shows that do not include the dreaded 1.7% of the population, transgendered people.  

Two hundred years ago Musk could've not paid the entry fee to see the carnival She-Male.  If Elon lived in the time of Joan of Arc would he have called for her banishment?

God has and continues to create people who do not fit neatly into strict male and female categories.  They deserve to be seen for themselves, both on and off screen.

Update 10-12-25:  The Guardian reported:

A prominent anti-DEI campaigner appointed by Meta in August as an adviser on AI bias has spent the weeks since his appointment spreading disinformation about shootings, transgender people, vaccines, crime, and protests.

Yet another reason for me to stay away from both social media and AI.

Trump's Nowhere Near Done

Trump II posted an AI video of himself as the Cowbell King of Death.  The bell tolls for Israel's enemies under Trump's ignoble irreality.

One might think his recent executive order on Qatar a slap on Israel's assassination attack in Doha, Qatar.  Not so.  It's for the future attack on Iran which former military experts suggest could happen in the next several weeks.

Trump and AI are perfect for one another as both are rife with errors but pretend to offer perfection.  

Trump II's Reign of Ignoble Irreality is clear for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Update:  My wise friend wrote:

The world is watching. These guys televise their malevolent madness. Is this the ultimate shakedown of "let us do what we want and you come aboard" OR we all end up with a RAPTURE? 

Don't you love it when the bunker class rolls the dice with nuclear war? Hollow Men rule the world.

Update:  AI video has quickly joined social media in proliferating widespread harm:

“Synthetic media machines, whether designed to extrude text, images or video, are a scourge on our information ecosystem,” Bender said. “Their outputs function analogously to an oil spill, flowing through connections of technical and social infrastructure, weakening and breaking relationships of trust.”

Trump II is a voracious consumer and spreader of same.  TechGods suck.   Those are the same Israel aligned TechGods Bibi Netanyahu is working with to get his messages spread.  

Trump/Netanyahu are working hard to wrap up Gaza so then go after Iran once again.

Update 10-5-25:  The Gaza wrap up effort is underway.  Israel's pattern is to end conflict on one front before adding a new one.  

Apex Usurper

Jesse wrote:

The recent speeches to the gathering of America's top military officers was painful to watch. 

And the President declared that certain American cities can be used as 'training grounds for the military' to crush the enemies within. 

The masks are falling away, and what has been hidden is being revealed. 

Faustus, who embraced evil and shunned righteousness, became the foremost symbol of the misuse of free will, that sublime gift from God with its inherent opportunity to choose virtue and reject iniquity. 

Faustus had advanced beyond the level of a scarlet sinner — he was a conscious follower of the Prince of Darkness. The fact he could publicly project an Antichrist image with pride, having no fear of reprisal, and his seeming diabolical art of escaping all punishment when others who were considered heretics had burned at the stake for less, would certainly signal that an unnatural individual walked in their midst. It is true in many respects he assumed the role of the charlatan, yet how apropos, considering his willingness to follow the Father of Lies and deception. E.A. Bucchianeri, Faust: My Soul Be Damned for the World 

You may look away, but you can never again say you did not know. When the reckoning comes, it is going to be exceptionally dramatic, and memorable. 

Congress and the Supremes are feckless enablers of Trump's carnage and chaos.  The generals meeting occurred as Trump II's military prepares for another engagement with the "nuclear facilities totally obliterated" Iran.  

More 24k gold accoutrements adorn the White House walls every day.  Come January 2028 when Trump II has achieved his $200 billion net worth goal, will those pieces of gold get packed up and sent to Mar-a-Lago?  

Endless rewards for the loyal and ceaseless retaliation for everyone else.  That is the "savage whim" way of Trump II, the digital Caligula, who is bringing the Age of Usurpment to an apex. 

Trump usurps while Congress claps and the Supremes await their next dog treat.  And the Epstein files remain sealed behind lock and key in an out of date Mar-a-Lago bathroom.
