Trump is King of the Lagobillies!

Lagobillies

5/28/2026

Trump lives like an uneducated poor man’s idea of being rich.

MAR A LAGO HILLBILLIES

Jess Piper recently did a post with the above picture at the top about hillbillies and Trump trashing the White House.[1]

”Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture.” –Jess Piper

I’ve written before about having hillbilly cousins in the Arkansas Ozarks that we visited in my teen years. They ran ‘shine and float trips.

The ‘shine was fire!

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE MAR A LAGOBILLIES

I can say with complete confidence that what is happening at the White House is indeed white trash culture.

I mean, Jesus Christ, Trump is building an MMA octagon at the White House! How Roman of him. Will Trump get to wear a golden laurel wreath crown as he watches? Will he get to give a thumbs up or down? Will his rich billionaire friends with their puffed-lip trophy wives be there?

Remember the original run of the TV show the “Beverly Hillbillies?”[2] Probably not unless you’re a Boomer. Yes, I’m that old.

It was about a poor family of Ozark hillbillies that struck it rich when oil was discovered on their land. They moved to a mansion in Beverly Hills California. It was a popular show. Buddy Ebsen as the Patriarch. Donna Douglas as bombshell Ellie Mae. Irene Ryan as the irascible Granny. Max Baer Jr. as the dimwitted Jethro. They were good decent downhome people.

The point of the show was their whole fish-out-of-water take on wealth and its trappings. They called the swimming pool that came with their mansion the cement (pronounced see-ment) pond.

They stayed hillbillies, and they never lost their decency.

CEMENT GARDEN

In a twisted complete flip as a nation, we ended up having a real life cross between the immoral characters of Breaking Bad and Mar a Lagobillies. Trump being there in the White House personifies Mar a Lago hillbillies/Lagobillies.

First Trump tore down the entire East Wing of the White House in order to build a giant ballroom, without getting anyone’s approval or having the money appropriated to pay for the now ever-escalating cost. Trump wants his MAGAt stooges in Congress to give him a BILLION DOLLARS. He wants the ballroom so he can put on the dog and have big “fancy” parties to impress whoever it is he feels the need to impress, with taxpayers footing the bill.

Trump has had his cement pond (The Reflecting Pool) drained and painted blue because apparently it didn’t look sufficiently like his idea of a pool. So far, the no bid contractor he hired has been 7 times more expensive, making inflated profit, is fucking up the work, and will need more money to finish![3] [4]

Trump has no class to go with his wealth. He doesn’t understand beauty. That’s why he paved over the rose garden. For Trump it’s the concrete that has value--not roses or history. Anything beautiful is a distraction from him. Unless it’s a naked woman like trophy wife Melania that he’s showing off to the public with “artistic” naked pics taken of her on his personal jet.

SILVER SPOON

Unlike the Beverly Hillbillies, Trump struck it rich by being born to Fred and Mary Trump.[5]

Daddy Fred made little Donald Trump a millionaire by age 8.[6] The same racist profiteer daddy that gifted him the family business of avoiding taxes. Not exactly the picture of a self-made man Trump would like people to think but rather a man-child born with a silver spoon in his mouth who was handed life on a platter and had to be bailed out regularly by his rich daddy. It’s a riches to riches story.

Trump’s idea of governing is that any person or entity that interacts with him should give him personally something valuable (transactional) whether it’s praise, money, or something shiny like a medal or a plane. In Trumplandia, Trump comes first. Trump never took the silver spoon of entitlement out of his mouth and has made this once thriving democracy into his personal, debauched playground.

Trump’s idea of good taste is gaudy, goldleaf, marble columns, lots of granite, and chandeliers. AND he wants tax dollars to pay for it.

Trump doesn’t discriminate when it comes to taking money.

He grifts rich and poor alike.

When President Trump dies.

Free Beer Day

By Keith Thomas

5/9/2026

ENEMIES OF THE STATE

We haven’t seen a President with an enemies list since Nixon.[1] Trump makes that evil bastard who resigned in disgrace look like an amateur, though.

As of November 2025, not counting all the Federal employees that Trump has fired, and foreigners, Trump has designated 470 people, organizations, institutions, universities, media outlets, Democrats, corporations, law firms and ordinary citizens needing retribution.[2] (BTW the Reuters article cited is excellent.) The above is not a complete list.

It’s safe to say that Minocqua Brewing Co. and Kirk Bangstad are now on the hit list.

How about you? Do you dislike Trump? Have you said that out loud?

You might be on the enemies list?

FREE BEER DAY IS COMING

In the beginning.

Okay, it all started not so innocently when Kirk Bangstad, owner of Minocqua Brewing Co., said that the day Trump dies he would serve free beer at his taproom, located at 329 Front Street, Minocqua WI 54548. (The company website is < here > if you want to visit. https://www.minocquabrewingcompany.com/ )

That didn’t go over well in the conservative town. Not well at all.

Kirk Bangstad got visited by the FBI and Secret Service to answer some questions about him never saying that he wanted to kill President Trump. He just wants to celebrate Trump’s death in a positive fashion. Being a brewer, he thought offering free beer was the way to go. After all, patriotic Americans celebrated when the fascist Hitler died. Some people even drank heavily.

Here’s what Bangstad said in his now deleted post.

“Well, we almost got #freebeerday. Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We’ll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.”

The People’s Republic of Minocqua, Wisconsin was NOT happy. Bangstad was immediately getting death threats from MAGA. Nothing new for him.

Now he’s running for Governor.

THE TROUBLE WITH ALGO (RITHM) AI

Is Algo Al keeping tabs on you?

Now, before I go any further with this there are some things people need to know. The government, especially the current DOJ, FBI, and Secret Service use AI and algorithms to search for words, phrases, and combinations of such, along with all sorts of other complicated criteria to look for enemies of the state.

The “state” being one President Donald J. Trump.

“Enemies” being anyone King/Fuhrer Trump designates.

So, people need to avoid using certain kinds of language, words and/or phrases or combinations of words.

Some examples:

“Kill,” “shoot,” “bomb,” “hurt,” “burn,” “execute,” “assassinate,” “pipe bomb,” “AR 15,” “VE,” “IED,” “detonate,” “explosive,” “chemical,” “gas,” “silencer,” etc. These words with combined with phrases like “I will …,” We will …,” etc.

Calling people “my fellow terrorists” especially in reference to calling for a meeting at a certain time will likely get you a visit from the Feds. I’m not sure where the sentence, “I’m going to verbally shoot up and burn the place to a cinder with my words—we’ll meet at dawn and ride” would fall in all of this so just avoid sentences like that if at all possible.

For God’s sake don’t say something like Karoline Leavitt said before the Correspondents dinner about shots will be fired. Shots were indeed fired.

Saying things like “Death to all MAGA” or “Assassinate all MAGA terrorist fascists” will get you a visit. So, don’t say those things. Don’t use those word combinations. Don’t consider or even think about doing those kinds of things!

Don’t talk about committing violent acts against people or share words that say those things like MAGA, and the President of the United States have done for years! Don’t do as Trump or MAGA does.

A couple of examples from the thousands available:

“Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” –DJT [3](He was talking about Democrats.)

“And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.” –DJT, 1/6/2021[4] (Words that Trump offered to his obedient MAGAts who then stormed Congress.)

Joe Biden shouldn't just be impeached, he should be handcuffed and hauled out of the White House for his crimes. –DJT [5] (Hm, I thought Presidents had complete immunity.)

"We will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store. Shot!" –DJT[6]

Trump also said, “There must be retribution for theft, and destruction, and the ruination of our country.” (Oh myyy! President heal thyself!)

Sentences like these can get common folk in trouble.

Don’t talk about getting violent revenge against his regime, persons, places or things. Don’t talk about blowing shit up especially very specific shit at a certain specific time with other people or by yourself. Don’t mention specific chemical or biological shit either.

I’m not sure how Algo Al classifies all the “Call of Duty” gamers.

There’s an entire well-sourced Wikipedia page dedicated to the rhetoric of Donald Trump so I’m not going to continue on with this crap.[7] Trump’s just an evil son-of-a-bitch.

MAGAts love being like him.

Screw Compromise! Screw Negotiating!

By Keith Thomas

It won’t stop fascism.

May, 6^th, 2026

VOTE MAGA REPUBLICANS OUT!

The Trump Administration is orchestrating a modern-day holocaust.

MAGA PRAYER WORKS!

So far, the fascist MAGA pro-life Republicans have caused a few hundred thousand deaths by cutting off USAID funds alone.[1] Estimates range from 9 million to 19 million preventable deaths by 2030.[2] [3] Four and one-half million of those deaths will be children.

Way to go Project 2025 White Christian Nationalists! You’re well on your way to surpassing Nazi holocaust deaths. That isn’t counting all the deaths you’re causing in the United States with all the various cutbacks in healthcare and assistance. Then throw in the numbers of civilian Iranians and Palestinians that we’re helping the Israelis slaughter in their genocide campaign.

Make your Nazi Jesus proud.

LOVE DIDN’T STOP HITLER.

Negotiating, compromise, and “reaching across the aisle” didn’t either. The Vichy French tried that.[4] Didn’t work. They ended up being half-Nazi fascists.

Fascists and Imperialists weren’t defeated by prayer circles and negotiations. They were defeated by nations, armies, and civilians fighting back with bombs, bullets, and people dying to the tune of 60 to 75 million deaths.

Personally, I don’t believe that we want MAGA fascists to get that far along. A few hundred thousand needless deaths already are enough. That’s on top of all the needless Covid deaths caused by their anti-science theology. Stop fascism before you need guns.

Besides, the vast majority of MAGA isn’t flipping regardless of what their Dear Leader Trump does. It’s a cult. They identify with him. The racism, misogyny, homophobia, lying, anti-immigrant, anti-foreigner, etc. all of it. They represent the worst of society and are proud of it.

Negotiating and compromising with racist White Christian Nationalist fascists is how we got here. They just stole pieces of our democracy year after year, compromise after compromise. Now they’re making a play for it all.

I’m seeing posts online and watching candidate videos online that for Democrats to get elected this year in Red States they’re going to have to campaign on “reaching across the aisle” and essentially be Republican Lite candidates in order to get Independents and MAGA votes.

Fuck that. What you get is a Fetterman fascism lite. Rank and file Democrats hate Fetterman. A slate of Red State Fetterman wannabes isn’t going to help the anti-MAGA fascist cause.

Be the Resistance!

Advice for Dems: claim the progressive Left, and

Don’t be a Fetterman!
