Object to calling the prison in El Salvador the Trump Administration is using to house undocumented immigrants a concentration camp? Consider: “What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” (U.S. Holocaust Museum)
President Trump thinks executive orders are the equivalent of law. Unfortunately, Congress has done nothing to disabuse him of this false notion.
I saw a video of a Trump Cabinet meeting where the people seated at the table went around the room, one by one, giving praise to King Donald. Disgusting, to say the least. Trump is a petulant child who must be frequently praised lest he throw a tantrum.
When it comes to the Trump Administration, everything I see and hear reminds me of junior high. Well, except for the fact that these juveniles have a massive military and nuclear weapons. What could go wrong, right?
We are in the middle of a measles outbreak that has killed two children and sickened hundreds more, yet HHS director Robert “Worm Brain” Kennedy, Jr. is “investigating” the efficacy of vaccines. Just take Vitamin A, he says, and now we have children getting sick from vitamin poisoning. Kennedy is a threat to the health of the American people.
When Trump first appointed Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, I thought he was a decent pick. However. I noticed in a picture yesterday that Rubio has dark brown stains on his nose — the sure sign of someone who spends his days and nights kissing Trump’s ass. His behavior, so far, has been disgraceful.
President Trump wants to show the world he has a big dick. On his birthday in June, Trump plans to have a large military parade in Washington, D.C. Only authoritarian leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un have dick-wagging parades.
Doubt that MAGA is a cult? Some Republican members of Congress want to chisel Trump’s likeness on the face of Mount Rushmore, rename Dulles International Airport with Trump’s name, put his face on the $100 bill, and print a new $250 bill with Trump’s face on the front of it. And then there’s the Marjorie Taylor Greene types who think Trump is the greatest president to ever sit in the Oval Office. Can’t fix that level of stupid.
It’s hard to believe Andrew Cuomo is running to be the next mayor of New York. What’s next, Anthony Weiner running for president? Hell, why not? Morals and ethics no longer matter.
Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people continues unabated. While Hamas is the stated target, it’s clear that it is the Palestinian people who are facing the brunt of Israel’s bloodlust. It will take decades to rebuild Gaza — that is, if Trump doesn’t turn Gaza into an amusement park for American billionaires.
Bonus: The Cincinnati Reds are one game above .500, having won four straight games. Dare I hope? Polly and I hope to attend several games this year.

I read somewhere last week that RFK Jr looks ‘like a microwaved Mel Gibson’ and now I can’t unsee that exact thing when I’m unfortunate enough to see his face while doom scrolling.
I can’t believe the shit that’s happened. And the republican “representatives” are complicit in all of it. They’d better hope they don’t fall out of favor with Dumald, they’ll end up in a concentration camp, too.
Can’t wait to read his obituary.
Me too. I want to see him hanging head down from a lamp post a-la his model Benito Mussolini. Oh! What am I thinking. Don’t come for me Dondal. I’ll worship you now. (not)
Unfortunately, Dutchguy I fear he’ll end up either like Hitler, committing suicide in a bunker while the world burns down around him, or like Joseph Stalin, who died after decades of brutal rule and mourned by adoring crowds.. and then erased by his successor Nikita Khrushchev after everyone breathed a sigh of relief that he was finally dead.
🤬 I have nothing but contempt for the $12B a year handshake 🤝 Trump and Bukele got ovations for in the Oval Office Monday! At the current rate Bukele receives for storing “criminal” units (dehumanized people), at $1600/month, $12B would be the yearly fee for the 400K units that could be crammed into 5 more CECOT concentration camps for US “homegrowns.” All of it bypassing Congress’ Constitutional powers to make such contracts and appropriate the funds!! This is a major piece of the crisis that is now so clear! DOGE never saved a dime; it is redirecting all the dimes! Off-the-books, illegal funding using every last bit of our Treasury, our taxes, our healthcare, and our carefully collected social safety net!! All of it under the control of our Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge of anti-science, anti-law, anti-education, anti-intellectual, anti-democracy, hand-picked freaks!! Welcome to the American killing fields!! ⚰️⚱️🪦
FOTUS (Felon of the United States) is weak. He can’t get Bukele to return Abrego Garcia. He backed down on Chinese tariffs after the Chinese responded to his elevated tariffs by hiking their tariffs higher. I put abbreviated versions of those ideas into posters for the April 19 rally in town.
I have visited Auschwitz and various sites where people were detained before being transported to Auschwitz and other death camps. Ever since the election, I have been re-visiting them, involuntarily.
