"Bone Spurs" Coming for Chi-Town

Trump II, the digital Caligula, used a Vietnam War movie as an analogy for his immigration pogram.  Trump failed to consider his privileged "free pass" from fighting in that bloody war, courtesy of a bone spurs diagnosis.  

The other odd thing about his Truth Social entertainment post is that he referenced the Department of War (newly renamed) instead of the Department of Homeland Security, where ICE actually lies.

These two errors in thinking are not a surprise for a 79 year old man renowned for his savage whims.  Thus, I propose his next Vietnam era movie:

It's free for Trump II to use however he wishes.  No license fees, transaction fees, or import taxes.  Free, free, free, free, free....

Schnitt Show: Thanks Joseph

James O'Keefe has "Just Us" Department senior official Joseph Schnitt on tape saying:

“They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those (Jeffrey Epstein) files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files,” the official said over lunch. 

He also noted that Maxwell was “transferred to a minimum-security prison too recently, which is against [Federal Bureau of Prisons] policy because she’s a convicted sex offender.” He added, “They’re offering her something to keep her mouth shut.”

Trump is remarkably consistent in his depravity, as are his henchmen and henchwomen.  It's a Schnitt show.

This revelation came the day after South Park eviscerated Trump and Fox News.

Trump displays no discernable teachings of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  Satan is as Satan does.  

Trump Weekend Posts

Trump II shared a number of fake images of himself in various uniforms, poses and logos.

A Redittor had this to say on people in general impersonating a police officer:

...it’s just cringe and annoying seeing people pretend to be cops on TikTok for attention

I wonder if that also applies to Truth Social?

Trump's Q/Cross image had the cryptic statement "nothing can stop what's coming."

I imagine nothing can stop Trump II in his quest for $200 billion in net worth by 2028.  I wonder how much of the Q-Anutters' money Trump will usurp between now and then?   

Digital Caligula Trump has the blind support of Christian Talibanists Mike Johnson and the TechGods who've suddenly abandoned Burning Man 2025.  Is their allegiance limited to only one false god?  Possibly.

Trump frequently posts craven images and he did so mightily this past weekend.  

True Monster: Need Intervention

My wise friend wrote:

We have created a true monster that does not want to accept and respect the constitutional boundaries or accepted norms of the country. Gangster style . Trump and his financial supporters have no problem splitting up the country for their personal gain. We need an intervention.

That we do.  I sent the following letter to my elected official (Congress) in February:

I voted for you in the last few elections and appreciate your general level headedness. Balancing traditional conservatism with MAGA populism and its irreverence of reality must be quite the challenge. 

I am writing in regard to the absurd report that nearly 1.9 million federal employees received an e-mail Saturday afternoon with instructions to report what they did in the past week by Monday evening or be fired. There is no credible management theory that supports such a screen for eliminating unnecessary jobs. 

It's clear Elon Musk's six companies have no need for his onsite supervision. His boards of directors must have no expectations. Any work he is doing for those companies and DOGE is not all onsite, thereby he is telecommuting. I imagine you telecommute at times in your role as a Congressman. 

The quality of savings produced thus far is rather shaky. Musk would eviscerate any leaders from his six companies that presented him that shoddy level of analysis. 

I find Musk's demand absurd and unanchored from any sound management/leadership theory. It's a horrible look for our country, having a petulant South African excoriate our federal government. 

I recognize you are in a difficult space. I worked for a CEO with similar predilections as President Trump. Subservience and loyalty are all that are allowed. Independent thinking for the good of the organization (or country) is not permitted and usually met with ridicule, shunning and derision from the CEO/Trump and his ring of enforcers. 

Leadership is why you are there. I hope you find a way to exercise some on behalf of all your constituents, traditional conservatives, the MAGA "base", liberals and independents. 

An intervention is needed.  Anything public would not be tolerated and I have no desire to endanger anyone's political future. The longer reasonable members of Congress and the Supreme Court wait, the harder it will become.

Trump the Usurper will continue to envelop and incorporate anything valuable in his path along with quick detours to consume his political enemies.  

One day our grandchildren's children will learn the stories of how the monster ate a whole democratic country and usurped its economy solely for his image needs and pocketbook demands.

Update 8-31-25:  Next up is splitting up the world for personal gain.

Update 9-10-25:  Jesse wrote:

I find it almost amazing how boldly Trump's cabinet members lie to the people. Yes, all politicians lie, but generally it is the exception and not the rule. And there is always an element of 'shame' to it. 

Not anymore. Lying is now a duty to the Commander, even when it doesn't matter, or is counter-productive. 

And the manner in which the mask has fallen away from the madness of governments is stunning, even more so for the lengths to which some will bend their minds and hearts to excuse obvious sadism, dishonesty, injustice, and murder.

Update 9-11-25:   Jesse noted:

If you cannot see the parallels between the deistic, politically subservient Christianity of the Nazis, and the co-opting of God as a benign figurehead for land, power, money, and nationalism today, you may wish to take a closer look. 

They do not serve God. God serves them, or remains obediently quiet. They replace His bloody crown of thorns, the symbol of His suffering for the sake of love, with a red cap of greatness and power. 

Why would God become man, suffer and lay down His life for his sheep? What was in it for Him? They don't get it. And they certainly do not want anything to do with the Cross. God serves them. And so they steal and murder en masse, in a perversion of His promise. For the sake of their own pride and prosperity. 

This is the abomination that brings desolation, the raising of idols and calling them God. 

Serve whom you will, but know whom it is that you serve.

South Koreans know what to do when the Trump monster starts to subsume them, 

U.S. President Donald Trump offered to allow hundreds of South Korean workers arrested during an immigration raid to stay in the United States, but only one has opted to remain, South Korean officials said on Thursday.

Update 9-14-25:  Brazil knew what to do with a former President who tried to overthrow a free and fair election.  That got Trump II's dander up.

Update 9-22-25:  Stars of the political Red Team showed up en masse at Charlie Kirk's funeral.  Only Charlie's widow, Erika, sounded like a follower of Christ's teachings.  Trump II and his minions were straight out of the Old Testament, full of tribal vengeance.  Jesus brought a new way, one they repeatedly ignore.

Update 10-9-25:  No leadership is observable from the Congressman who received my letter.  A university professor who studies/researches ways to fight against fascism had his families flight reservations cancelled while they were at the gate.  The professor is headed to Spain after getting numerous death threats driven by false information.  

“Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.  We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.” 

“...there’s an effort underway to paint me as someone who is doing the things that I’ve researched, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

The truth no longer matters to our political and corporate leadership.  Please Trump II at all costs...

Supremes' Stress Precedence: Trump Trashes Same

 The rule is now:

If Trump does it, it is a OK.

Trump II's maxim is:

Saying or doing whatever in the present moment to optimize his image, his power, his greatness.

The more adulation the better .

Blind loyalty is required.  Anything less will be steamrolled.

Difference, criticism or simply another viewpoint may bring out Trump II's vengeful side.  Like an angry god or scorned king, Trump II sees no constraints on his retaliation.

Irritated members of the Supreme Court made clear to lower court judges their failure to follow precedence.  

Yet, the Donarch issued another decree.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order requiring the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute people for burning the American flag, an activity that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled is legitimate political expression protected by the U.S. Constitution.

Trump's speech is privileged, protected and endless.  Yours?  Not so much.  

However, you are free to offer him compliments ceaselessly.

Your principles and memories of America and what it stands for are irrelevant to Trump II.  His America is coming and coming and coming and coming via a barrage of savage whims.  

Notwithstanding (in spite of) anything and everything.  That's Trump II's will.

My wise friend offered:

Who is going to stop him? Little by little the National Guard comes to every big city. Homeland Security becomes the SS "All Hail Commander-in-Chief" from K Street to Wall Street to Silicon Valley back to Mar A Lago and Palm Beach Island. The power elite are protected and know what is best for you.

Opportunity, like speech, is for the limited and politically connected few.   Meanwhile, Trump II, the digital Caligula, accumulates gobs of new wealth on his goal to a $200 billion net worth by January 2029.  

Is his political hornet's nest just an obfuscation for his obscene wealth accumulation and usurpation of public assets?  Maybe, maybe not.  I think it's both.  That's just who Donald Trump is, a bully, a prick, a con and a horse's behind.  Many can say otherwise, but that does not remove the underlying truth.

Update:  I erred in quoting my wise friend, initially noting PBI as the Palm Beach airport.  He let me know he meant Palm Beach Island where many private equity legends have palatial estates, Stephen Schwarzman, Henry Kravis, & Wilbur Ross to name a few.  The airport does make it easy for other PEUs to fly in and appeal to Trump II when he holds court at Mar-a-Lago.  So I wasn't totally off the mark.  I just missed the home greed and leverage boys.

Politics Sucks

The State of Florida removed a rainbow painted crosswalk that honored 49 people who died in the Pulse nightclub shooting.  It did so in the middle of the night.  NBC News reported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' response:

"We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes."

Who commandeered that crosswalk in 2017?  The State of Florida. 

Politics is an insufficient way to explain our world, given its ever shifting sands, serial mistruths and mind numbing double standards.  Governor Ron DeSantis' comment should be viewed in that context. 

I hope the 27 Camp Mystic girls who died in the tragic July 4th flash floods don't want to be honored with a "political" rainbow.  Surely. Texas Governor Greg Abbott can come up with an appropriate football image on behalf of those young girls.  

There are good reasons the majority of the country wants nothing to do with either political party.  Most of us have lives to live, money to earn and believe U.S. values enshrined in the Constitution are for everybody.  

When people gunned down can't be remembered in a way that honors them, then we are in a sorry state.  Politics sucks.

Update 9-10-25:  Jesse wrote:

Update 10-11-25:   Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered a rainbow painted crosswalk be removed or the City of Houston could lose state funding.

“Today, I directed the Texas Department of Transportation to ensure Texas counties and cities remove any and all political ideologies from our streets. To keep Texans moving safely and free from distraction, we must maintain a safe and consistent transportation network across Texas. Any city that refuses to comply with the federal road standards will face consequences including the withholding or denial of state and federal road funding and suspension of agreements with TxDOT,” said Governor Greg Abbott.

This follows Angelo State University and parent Texas Tech's forbidding discussion of "gender ideologies" by faculty on their campuses.  Abbott banned that with his state directive which also mentioned "radical sexual orientation."  Gay professors can see where this is going.  They may soon be resurfaced and painted over.

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.

Him-icaine Trump Draws Resources

Trump II, the digital Caligula, filled the streets of Washington, D.C. with National Guard members to fight crime and eliminate the blight of slums and homelessness.  His logic was to make D.C. a better place for commerce for locals and tourists.  That has not translated into restaurant business, which has fallen substantially:

Research by Open Table found that restaurant attendance was down every day last week compared with 2024, with the number of diners dipping by 31% on Wednesday, two days after Trump ordered the national guard to patrol Washington.

Trump is after "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people."  The National Guard may be the wrong tool given their limitations on arresting, processing and prosecuting local crime.  Police and social workers with access to programs are a more appropriate and targeted solution.  That matters not to Trump, the Savage Whimmer.

Red Team Governors are sending National Guard troops to D.C. as we begin the height of the hurricane season.  NOAA predicted 3-5 major hurricanes which surely will need National Guard support if they strike the continental U.S.  

Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina have all suffered greatly in the aftermath of major hurricanes.  Their governors may earn Trump points but the public might not be so forgiving if critical assets are not available in a hurricane's aftermath.

Trump is a vortex in himself, subsuming all in his path, taking anything he deems valuable, denigrating the fleeced, then crowing about all he did to achieve an outcome only he can see.  Reality is a completely separate world.  Unfortunately, the U.S. Presidency gives him significant power to mow down anything blocking his path.  

The "Just Us" Department, Congress and the Supremes were subsumed some time ago and are of no help in dealing with Himicaine Trump.  The sad part is those guys live there and can see with their two eyes what is happening.

Update:  NYT reported:

Army officials appear to be trying to keep the troops on the sidelines of the mission, despite the tough-on-crime image that Mr. Trump has sought to project
