Eyes closed shut

 

Eyes closed shut

For a terrorist attack

By Keith Thomas

Condition Wide Open

            The Trump Administration can be counted on 100% … to lie.

            The anniversary of the right-wing anti-government terrorist Timothy McVeigh’s attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19th, 1995 got me to thinking about terrorist attacks in general.[1] A lot of right-wing nut sacks are anti-government in addition to being fascist racists.

            The Führer Trump’s administration has repeatedly shown that they are perfectly willing to sacrifice innocent people for their fascist cause. The MAGA approach to justice is that people are presumed guilty because MAGA says they are. MAGA knows that Kilmar Ábrego García is innocent just as they know that other brown people that they’ve grabbed off the streets, including citizens, are innocent. It isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about projecting the image of power and cruelty.

            The Führer Trump’s purge and decimation of government agencies have eliminated the professionals tasked with watching out for terrorists attacks. Should a terrorist attack take place MAGA will use the attack as an excuse to round up and imprison more innocent people. MAGA will be able to clamp down on all of society. Anyone that they want punished will be called illegals or terrorists.

            President Bush used the 911 attacks as justification for invading Iraq with the, as it turned out to be, false claim that the Iraq under Sadam Hussein had supported al-Qaeda and had weapons of mass destruction.[2] The military industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us about certainly made a lot of money off of that undeclared war.[3]

            The Führer Trump’s looking for excuses to deprive people of their civil rights and due process. MAGA has already demonstrated that they’re perfectly willing to manufacture justifications for their fascist rule. Does MAGA want a terrorist attack? Gutting the very agencies that are supposed to protect us seems to indicate that they do.

What do you think?

Let’s get real

Let’s get real

There will be bloodshed.

By Keith Thomas

4/18/2025

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.

Low Ratings Loser Trump

 

Low Ratings Loser Trump

Failing Administration

By Keith Thomas

4/16/2025

Big Baby Whiner

            I swear Trump has to be the most unintelligent, unprofessional, pettiest President in American history. Trump was rated 41st out of 44 presidents at the end of his last term.[1]  His MAGA cult will never believe how bad a president he has been and is. This is because they do not live in the real world. They have a fantasy construct as to how the United States is faring. They are the center of their universe.

            His approval rating is tanking and he’s only been in office as of 4/16/2025 for 86 days, 23 of which he spent golfing.[2] In the overwhelming majority of recent polls more than half the country disapproves of the job that he’s doing.[3] [4] He is work-averse.[5] After he tanks the economy and puts a few hundred thousand more people out of work his ratings will go lower. Trump’s final approval rating when he left office the first time was 34%. (George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter were rated at 34% as well.) He’d caused a few hundred thousand needless deaths and the economy was crashed.

            Taxpayers spent over $100 million dollars during his first presidency.[6] During his first term Trump golfed 293 days![7] Keep in mind that number doesn’t count the times that he visited one of his properties but didn’t golf. Plus Trump charges the Secret Service for their stay in Mar a Lago.[8] Trump lives to grift. He is greed personified. MAGA adores him for it and gives him money for his made in China products.

            MAGA wants all the children possible raised with the values of the liar and his character. It’s sad that character used to matter in America. And now 70 million people exalt a tantrum-throwing loser like Trump. It was and is Republican, values, policies, and goals that made it possible for a venal loser like Trump to become President.

They want him as President for life.
