2. General Trump

Apr 2020

General Trump is looking to be the de facto ruler of the Red States of America, or as it is formally known now: Trumpistania. Pence is the High Chancellor of Gilead, the religious faction of Trumpistania.

He certainly isn't a unifying figure head representing the federal government that Americans have fought and paid for for all this time.

I figured it was just because they were big donors, but now that I see Trump appointed the head of WWE to a task force, DeSantis' actions make more sense.

He's despicable in every way. FL has pretty good early voting so I expect he and the supine FL fascist Russian Repugs will stop that if they think they will get away with it. They have already fucked mail in voting in this state by using very strict signature matching on all mailed in and absentee ballots. If a person has aged much or has an illness that makes them shakey since they signed the cards, their votes will be rejected. The state is supposed to let them know to come in and verify their identity, but when calling, not one person had received the letter, even though the state of FL had them showing as being sent letters. If they end early voting here, we are well and truly fucked here, which is their plan.

And now Linda McMahon (wife of Vince McMahon - head of the WWE) is the chairman of America F1rst Action, a pro-Trump super PAC.

The Protests in Michigan Have Signaled the Nonsense Is Coming

Former Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA), who is a close White House ally, said he felt the country was nearing a tipping point. “I think it could be a combination of politics, misinformation, economic hardship, emotion/anxiety, and well intentioned civil disobedience,” Kingston wrote. “The liquor stores and dispensaries are open but I can’t buy gun!

bonus quote:

“When it’s my time to go, God’s going to call me home,” [Ashley] Smith said. ... “We are not promised a pathogen-free existence,” Smith said. “We do not have a constitutional right to not get a virus.

I can think of at least one Supreme Court justice that she could clerk for -- it would be a perfect fit.

Who could have predicted the spectacular failures 3 years ago. I mean yes we knew he was a worthless idiot but we’d be far better off if he’d gone on a 4 month golf vacation. Satire under trump is dead.

And yes I decided a couple weeks ago not to capitalize the orange Shiva’s name, he doesn’t deserve even that modicum of respect.

also shows how profoundly he doesn't understand how government works. He thinks it's exactly like running one of his own businesses and that he can just move employees around however he wants. Plus, he has zero sense that experience or prior knowledge of something could be even remotely useful.

Check out the comments on this post.

Clearly, these are points that resonate with us. Well, at least those of us who haven’t drunk the Flavor-Aid*. Or those who are not marching, blocking access to hospitals, or otherwise protesting reasonable and prudent safeguards in the TrumpPlague.
