America's Mobster POTUS

What are we doing to our country when the ruling party is so pants-shitting terrified of their own party leader that they refuse to speak out against his most egregious abuses of power and scandalous executive actions because they are fearful of being murdered by his cult sycophants?

That isn't a governing party or coalition.  It's a Mafia outfit.  And Drumpf is the Mafia Kingpin, and the Republicans in the Senate and Congress are nothing more than his mafia outfit's capos and foot soldiers.

Is this the future nation you want your children and grand-kids growing up in Ma and Pa MAGA?  One where targeted violence and governing by mob fear and extortion is the new American political landscape, and where your elected representative fears for the safety of their life and their family's lives if they dare speak their mind about their party leader?  Really?

God help us all if the answer to that question is a universal 'YES.'

It's Sing-a-long Time! A One, and a Two, and a Three! . . . ♫♫♫

An ode to the world that Drumpf and MAGA are preparing for us should DonOld succeed with coronating himself dictator for life.

Meet The World's Newest Budding Monarch: King Drumpf

This is what DonOld Drumpf posted on the official government White House Xshitter account today:

 

 

 

First off - he is such blood-curdling embarrassment to this country.  The term 'malignant narcissist' does not come anywhere near to being an apt description of DonOld Drumpf's depraved soul and warped id.  It is so much more worse than that.

If Drumpf ever truly declares himself King and ruler for life, suspends our Constitution, and begins roundups of more than just Mexican lettuce pickers and Haitian janitors, this country is going to experience a time of troubles and civic conflict that it has not been witnessed within the boundaries of it's own borders since the US Civil War.  There are way more people in this country who DO NOT wish to live under a repressive, authoritarian dictatorship, or King, than those who do, and that silent majority will not stand idly by and watch as a mobbed-up, pussy grabbing, failed reality TV show host and Putin asset and his cabal of immigrant billionaires takes this country down the road of repression and despotism.

Drumpf's comments during last year's presidential campaign about wanting to rule the US as a dictator were not off-the-wall, joking statements.  The crooked old mobster meant every damn word.

And you know what?  Some of the better citizens of this country sincerely tried to warn Ma and Pa MAGA about Drumpf's twisted, imperious inclinations.  They really did.  In response, they were scoffed at and given the middle finger for the most part.

If Drumpf succeeds with his authoritarian ambitions, you can count on there not only eventually being a major societal backlash and violent upheaval, but also an ignominious end to the Drumpf movement, and a moral reckoning for those Americans who helped the wannabe dictator become an actual dictator-King.

Go read a history book or three about how the Germans who supported Hitler and the Nazi party were treated at the end of World War 2, a war they started.  That is the kind of moral reckoning that would be in store for current Drumpf conspirators and enablers should he go full-on dictator and drag America down that horrible path.

FAFO, as they say.

DonOld Returns to the Crime of a Familiar Impeachment Scene

Yet another high level DOJ resignation of a well-respected, honest federal prosecutor, Denise Cheung, who has refused to follow an order from her Drumpf and his "allies" to use her position to open a bogus investigation of Joe Biden, which incidentally is the same damn act of public corruption that got the filthy old mobster Drumpf impeached the first time.  If you recall, it was the dirty phone call and dispatching Rudy and this thugs to extort Ukraine's President Zelensky in to opening a strawman (aka phony) investigation of the Bidens in Ukraine.  Zelensky rightfully told them to fuck off.

Now DonOld and his "allies" have pressured the "top senior" federal prosecutor in Washington, Denise Cheung, to open a bullshit federal investigation of Joe Biden.  Cheung, being just as righteous an individual as Zelensky in response, apparently told Drumpf and his "allies" to fuck off and submitted her resignation, not wanting any part of the sleazy deal.

It's sad that our government is losing these decent, honest, hardworking public servants like Denise Cheung to scum like Drumpf and his Musk, oops, I meant "allies,". . . but at the same time it is heartening to see good people standing up to their evil machinations.

 

"The Trump-era Department of Justice has been rocked by yet another resignation, leading to a cascade of reactions Tuesday.

According to Reuters' Sarah N. Lynch, Denise Cheung — the top senior prosecutor in DOJ's Washington office — told her colleague Ed Martin, in her resignation letter, that she is leaving DOJ because of a request from Trump Administration officials she considers improper. The Trump allies, Lynch reports, asked Cheung "to launch a criminal probe" and "ordered her to investigate a government contract awarded during Joe Biden's administration and pursue a freeze of the recipient's assets."

In her resignation letter, Cheung wrote, "I have been proud to serve at the U.S. Department of Justice and this office for over 24 years. During my tenure, which has spanned over many different administrations, I have always been guided by the oath I took.... to support and defend the Constitution.""

Jesus Turned Water into Wine. Drumpf Turned America's Friends into Enemies.

And remind The Gadfly someone, anyone, how turning America's longtime foreign allies into enemies helps to lower the cost of eggs, groceries, and gas, fixes our immigration system, shores up social security and medicare, or makes healthcare accessible and affordable?

By the time these MAGA fucksticks finish with their right-wing, economic terrorism orgasm, most Americans will be considered fortunate to have access to all those nice things.

You still don't see the freight train headed your way do you Ma and Pa MAGA?  It's so sad to see.

It's gonna be one hell of a spectacle when reality collides with Ma and Pa MAGA's perception of Trumpian utopia, ain't it?

Wait until some of these former allied nations start restricting Americans from visiting their shores.  That's going to be just a little bit more than interesting.

Meh! Who Needs Nuclear Weapons Safety Experts When Elmo and the Boys are Available?

There have already been five significant US aviation mishaps since Drumpf and his boy wonder toady Leon MuskRat purged the experienced ranks of the FAA after four years of accident-free flying in the US under Joe Biden's leadership.

Viceroy Muskrat and his coven of pre-pubescent cyber trolls have now set their sites on the agency and the people who safeguard and secure our country's nuclear weapons, it really ought to concern a whole lot more people than it does.

Drumpf and his sperm-peddling running mate are putting the national security of every single man, woman, and child in America at risk and they are doing this not out of some noble endeavor to make government more "efficient," but to destroy the democratic pillars of our 249-year old nation and undermine and weaken the foundation of our representative democracy so that they and their unelected henchmen can "redesign" the American people's government to rig the system even more for themselves, and expand their own wealth and power over all of us.

Turning a blind eye to this madness isn't going to make it go away.  And no, there is no light at the end of this tunnel indicating things will get better if we just wait and let things play out.

Bad times have come to America and those times may very well be coming in the form of a tragedy and catastrophe too unimaginable for any of us to comprehend.

Drumpf is Not Hiding What His Intent is. Soon it Will be Time to Choose Sides in America.

This is not an idle threat that the greasy old, mobbed up pussy-grabber issued from his social media perch today.

The message here clearly is that he intends to put himself and his lackeys above the laws of this country and the US Constitution be damned because he, The Great and Powerful Drumpf is saving the country from "the deep state" or some other such bullshit, manufactured lie that he and his goose-stepping goons conjured up in their treacherous little minds.

This is how dictators justify mass-arresting political opponents and lining them up against walls and shooting them.

He's getting closer and closer to instigating civil conflict in this country.

Don't act shocked Ma and Pa MAGA when his chaos and lawlessness bring troubled times to your MAGA world.

Ma and Pa MAGA's Eggsistential Crisis

I recall a time when many of the Ma and Pa MAGA folk were claiming they voted for Drumpf because the cost of eggs and groceries were too high for them to bear.  When DonOld the Great promised them that he, and he alone could bring down those high prices of groceries and eggs if he was elected POTUS, they unquestioningly believed him.

I wonder how that hollow moral values-based justification for putting a lying, deceiving, narcissistic sociopath back in the White House is working out for Ma and Pa MAGA's eggs problem?  Oops - shouldn't have asked . . .

This is but one of many examples of Ma and Pa MAGA having gotten rolled by Drumpf's fake promises and lies, and it surely will not be the last.

Might Not Have Been the Best Idea to Elect the Guy Who Bankrupted Casinos After All

Oh hell yes.  This is what you voted for Ma and Pa MAGA.

You voted to put a crooked, criminally convicted, failed reality TV show host and lifelong sexual abuser in the American people's White House.  And you seriously believed it wouldn't impact your lives, right? [mirthful chuckling...]

You voted for an individual who has bankrupted nearly every single business venture he ever launched and who was forced to turn to shady foreign bank deals, and God only knows what other kinds of deals with foreign interests, to stay afloat financially.  Drumpf's "successful businessman" public persona has always been a publicly known charade.  He is a con man.  A flim-flammer.  A charlatan.  A mountebank.  A fraud.  A conniver.  A deceiver.  A betrayer.

And you voted for him Ma and Pa MAGA, and now the menace of his evil comes knocking on your economic security doorsteps.

Lotsa luck with that.

The Continued Criminal Barbarism of Drumpf's BFF

There is a 100% valid reason why Vladimir Putin is an ICC wanted war criminal.

Putin's military attacks on the much smaller nation of Ukraine, as he has done to other satellite nations in the former Eastern bloc over the years who have found disfavor with him, have been vicious and deliberately deadly toward the civilian populations of these countries and regions.  The deliberate targeting of civilian population centers and civilian critical infrastructure is how cowardly, terrorist regimes wage "war."

That Putin would bomb the containment structure shielding the site of a catastrophic nuclear disaster should be testament enough to his barbarism.  That he would unleash radioactive poison on not only the civilian population of Ukraine, but of the rest of Europe, and possibly his own country depending on which way the winds carry the fallout, should make him a pariah among nations of decent peoples.  More significantly it makes it a more urgent matter to seek his removal from power, with prejudice and haste.

And just knowing that the current American President is an owned stooge of such a barbaric individual makes it all the more disturbing and disheartening, and is another sign of the precipitous decline of American prestige and it's democratic values around the world since November 5, 2024.

Putin is a mass murderer and terrorist thug.  His name ought to be at the top of every decent nation's enemies list.  And Drumpf is going to invite this internationally wanted war criminal to the American people's White House and canoodle with him.  No doubt it will be a warm reunion between longtime chums and the old mobsters will have much to reminisce about.
