Let’s get real

Let’s get real

There will be bloodshed.

This time around.

            It’s coming at us like a runaway train with a crazy engineer.

            Though I didn’t do any combat tours during my stint in the Army, I served with men that did. There were a few that enjoyed the killing. The killing is why they joined. They were stone cold sociopath killers.

Then there were those that just went mental. When I was a Drill Instructor (DI) our senior DI had been sent back from Vietnam because he had become indiscriminate as to who he killed. The Army made him a DI. He was crazy and visited an Army psychiatrist regularly. We had to pull him off of the trainees a couple of times after he lost it because of some stupid action that they had committed.            

            Trump wanted to use the military against protestors the first time that he was President. There were adults in the room that talked him out of doing it.[1] There are NO adults in the room this time around. Really, who’s going to even want to stop him from telling our military to shoot and beat up protestors? Trump has surrounded himself with people that are cosplaying in their jobs.

And they want to hurt people.

Think it can’t happen?

            It’s happened before.

            Remember President Tricky Dick Nixon and Kent State, Ohio. Four dead students and 9 injured by the National Guard.[2] If you’re too young to remember that I suggest that you look it up. History is getting ready to repeat itself. We have an orange stain for Commander in Chief (CIC) with the mental maturity of a toddler that wants to have a parade celebrating him like some tin pot dictator of a Banana Republic and a MAGA cult anxious to do his bidding. Trump’s firing any generals that won’t do his bidding.

            Who’s going to stop him from assassinating and/or imprisoning anyone that opposes him? His MAGA Supremes already told him that he has complete immunity (though they may have a little buyer’s remorse on that about now). The Führer Trump’s lawyers had already argued before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that he could kill his rivals.[3] His dictatorship is already using government agencies against his opposition and recalcitrant states, agencies, government employees, the media and any that displease his majesty with his decrees and cruel policies. The police are already doing his bidding.

            Thanks to a hot mic moment we now know the Führer Trump is now talking about sending American citizens to America’s first concentration camp run by a foreign dictator in El Salvador. It’s still hard to believe that a sentence like the previous one could ever have been written about America yet here we are. An American government run by a MAGA cult that holds racism and fascism as core values with a narcissistic self-serving greedy bully with the mental stability of a toddler as their leader.

And the toddler is having tantrums.

Actions have consequences.

            The Führer Trump’s Tariff War isn’t just crashing the American economy. It’s impacting the global economy as well. His 90-day pause on his most egregious tariffs is frankly giving other nations time to establish alternate supply chains for any critical goods and supplies. Our nations’ adversaries (Trump’s friends) are already jumping in to fill any voids possible. The enemy of their enemy is their friend. Trump is making us a pariah on the world stage to ally and foe alike.

            It isn’t possible to fuck over this many people and there not be any consequences or retribution. As many people that have already been harmed I look for a lot of protests this summer. Trump is fucking over his MAGA too.

Trump’s an equal opportunity fucker.
