Remember
“What a piece of ass. I would love some of that.” – the felon-in-chief
A friend asked me about Susie Wiles, tonight's speech, and Friday's release of more Epstein scandal files. This is approximately what I said …...
A quick reminder …... the above quote is from Michael Cohen's book, in which he quoted what the felon said to him while looking at Cohen's 15-year old daughter.
And remember, this is the same pathetic excuse for a man who encouraged his teenage daughter Ivanka to get surgery on her nose and boobs.
Real men do not think or act that way.
This is the same shameless pile of shit who were must actively oppose. The pressure he is under is not because he cares about other people. It is all about himself, including the half a McDonald's arch he plans to honor himself. We must continue to apply the pressure that is hastening his physical and mental decline.
Reality
"I realized we were not operating on the same level of reality.” – John Trudell
Like every good and decent person in this country, I am sad to read the news about Rob Reiner and his wife. Like everyone who has had relatives murdered, I am sad for the surviving family members. While thinking about the harsh reality of the situation, my phone rang for the first of a number of calls.
“He's hit the bottom of the barrel,” my cousin said. “Actually, he is digging a hole beneath the bottom of the barrel,” I said.
As fucking gross as the felon's statement is, I consider it to be a good thing. It helps to put into focus what a pathetic excuse for a human being he is. There are three things I keep in mind. First, there is not a single citizen in the country who was “undecided” about the felon who is now convinced they should support him. More importantly, it will offend even some of those who supported him in the past. And third, it helps secure republican politicians in a hot seat, as their options are limited to agreeing with him, disagreeing, or attempting to avoid comment.
A Holiday Shine
“Some places are like people – some shine and some don't.” – Dick Hallorann
The sick old man attempted to shift in his chair, his ankles throbbing. He had put in two hours yesterday, and it was almost three today, and it was difficult to keep his eyes open. He heard someone across the table say, “Look! It's snowing!” This pissed him off, and he growled, “Fake news! It doesn't snow at mar-a-lago!” Another voice said, “It's okay, mister president. We're in the White House. Go back to sleep.”
“Big, beautiful ballroom,” the sick old man uttered before nodding off. Most of the staff around the table smiled faintly, not daring to say anything. They knew the sick old man was supposed to serve as the caretaker of the White House, yet he lacked the ability to stay awake in a meeting he had called. Everyone present is lost in thought on how they might exploit his approaching death for their own benefit.
Meanwhile, the sickly old man opens his eyes, finding himself in what he turned into the White House Resort. And he comes to a door, and he looks inside. Ivanka is watching South Park, and Jared pretends not to see him as he stacks silver coins in piles of thirty. Suddenly, a hand is placed upon his should. “It's me, Tiffany,” a woman says. “I've never met you in my life. You work for CNN,” the increasingly feeble old man says.
As this apparition dissolved into the lumps of his cranial lard, the sickly man began to stumble on down the hall. Suddenly he was confronted by twin boys about 40 years of age. “Are you the Grady twins?” he asks, but neither responds. He attempts to enter a room to avoid them, but the twins are somehow there. “Father,” “Yes, sons,” “We wanted to kill you.”
And he walked on down the hall. He heard loud noises coming from a room, so he opened the door. And he looked inside this solitary cell. His youngest son had plastered Brian Kohberger's image on every wall, and singing,”I want to kill a sorority girl, I could be happy the rest of my life, killing sorority girls.” So he closed the door, and he walked on by.
He came to his wife's bedroom door. As he looked around, heard splashing, and saw the curtain surrounding an authentic gold plated claw-foot tub opening. “Melania, is that you?” he asked. Slowly he watched her stand up, get out of the tub just as naked as the underage girls on his fantasy island, and walk towards him. As he embraced her, Melania's left arm came off into his right hand. He saw that it was composed of the same decaying flesh as the growing gray blotch on his. Quickly he dropped the arm, and saw that she had actually been bathing in a claw-foot coffin. So he left the room, saying, “There are no flies on Frank.”
He saw a light at the end of the tunnel, er, hall. So he continued walking towards the light, although each step seemed twice as difficult as the last. Plus there was a little bald man, dancing in his way. “Hey, you're the dancing death guy from the tub scene in that movie Ivanka loved!” the extremely ill old man coughs out. “No, it's me, boss. Stephen Miller.” “Oh, you,” the stooped old man said, though he was unable to place the name. He waited for a moment, expecting to see the elfin dancer open the door for him, but he, too, had simply disappeared.
Struggling to open the heavy door, the old man stepped in to a round of applause. The smell of sulfur roused him from his previous near-slumber. “ My big beautiful ballroom,” he said. “Why, it's as glorious as that of the Stanley!” He noticed an old friend tending bar, who asked, “What'll you have, Boss?” “I'll have a diet coke, Lloyd. Make it a double.” He began to scan his big beautiful ballroom for familiar faces.
“It's Rudy, and I'll bring your drink right over. You are at the head of that table with your friends. They have been waiting for you.” Sitting at that very table were his father, Roy Cohn, J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, Dick Cheney, and Charlie Kirk, and as the formerly very sick and feeble old man took his seat, they all rose and clapped like hell.
Note: I would like to wish the the entire DU community a pleasant holiday season. – H2O Man
The Pedo Files: Episode Two
"Darkness is good: Dick Cheney, Darth Vader, Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they get it wrong. When they are blind to who we are, and what we're doing.” – Steve Bannon, November 18, 2016
Some people were surprised by the communications between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon. The two became buds in 2017, and their relationship became tighter after Michael Wolfe's “Fire and Fury” was published. The book quoted Bannon as saying Ivanka was “as dumb as a brick,” and that Don Jr's infamous meeting with Jared, Manafort, and Russian agents was “treasonous.” Hence Steve's short stint in the administration.
Now, no one wants to think about Steve Bannon. He is a repulsive human being. There is, so far as I know, not a single positive quality that could possibly be applied to him. Among those associated with Epstein before his untimely death, Bannon's connection is perhaps the least reported on. Yet it is important, in that it provides evidence on the criminal nature of both in ways that were connected with the international sex trade that Epstein is best known for.
Let's do a quick review what's known about the relationship between these two human tapeworms. Epstein wanted his “public image” cleaned up, and Bannon agreed to coordinate with Ehud Barak to do just that. Other than saying he helped prepare Epstein for a “60 Minutes” interview, it is unclear what Bannon may or may not have done. Maybe the manner of Epstein's death was intended to take the spot light off Jeffrey and show him in a more positive manner.
Bannon is, of course, a criminal without honor. He has zero sense of loyalty. His “best friend” was Roger Stone, but he was willing to talk to Robert Mueller several times about Roger, and then testify against him in Stone's November, 2019 federal trial. His current “best friend” is Stephan Miller, who he will eventually testify against, in my opinion. He tried to damage Jared and H.R. McMaster with “leaks” to the right-wing media.
So why would Bannon have sought out Epstein? The answer is access to the opulently wealthy to finance his dream of an international collection of right wing groups to place anti-democratic politicians in power. It is true that self-enrichment was involved in things like his “build the wall” charity. But he hoped to connect this and other interests he had with the international money laundering that finances things beyond Epstein's sex ring.
Bannon would become acquainted with exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui and his yacht after leaving the administration. Wengui gave Bannon a $150,000 “loan,” then one of his businesses hire Steve as a consultant for a million dollars. This allowed Bannon to become what Olive Oyl called “so international” in making trips to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to meet with a total of seventeen far-right groups and leaders in as many countries. When he was indicted by federal prosecutors for the wall scam, Guo cut off relationships with him. This was on August 20, 2020, ten days after Jeffrey Epstein's death.
It is easy to think of Bannon as Otis Campbell of Mayberry fame. In fact, I think of Otis every time Bannon is mentioned. His goals have always been beyond his abilities. He fits with the Roger Stone -Stephen Miller mold (emphasis on “mold”). Yet he is dangerous in that he wants to stir the pot, increasing the levels of hatred, and hoping to spark violence, that he watches from afar.
My goal in composing this is a reminder that our opposition goes well beyond the felon-in-chief. We should be prepared to see techno-sapiens attempting to create divisions within our party, especially at the grass roots' level, and to exploit them. It might be trolls from foreign lands, or domestic apologists for Charlie Kirk. I think ignoring them is best.
Roots Light
“We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.” – Malcolm X
My son was laughing about the felon's whining about attention to his failing health. He placed it in the context of the felon's increasing rate of insulting females, be they in the media or House of Representatives. “This has a different flavor, the distilled rage of his past shit. He is more confused,” my son said.
I mentioned the issues relating to the destruction of a section of the White House, including the bit about asbestos. My son said he wishes the felon would hurry up and get it completed. I asked why? “Because I want White House Correspondents' Dinners to be held there for as long as he is alive. Each year, I want Hillary Clinton to speak about how criminals the felon is, followed by Obama telling jokes about him to the crowd's delight. I want a Joe Biden Peace Prize awarded to OAC, each and every year. I theorize that this would be the best bet for reminding the corporate media that Donald Dognuts is a sick old fuck.”
After being a registered Democrat through his 20s, he is now an independent, to the left. I do understand most of the frustrations of my children's generation. But I also thinks he enjoys debating his brother and I when we get together, and my other son tells me his brother is competing with my youthful activism. I think this is a genetic feature found in all the males on my paternal side (and yet, DNA tests all document I am related to them).
It made me happy that my son was saying those things about the Correspondents' Dinner. Lately, I have been having fun discussions with my sons and daughters about the teachings of Malcolm X, John Trudell, and Fred Hampton. This weekend, there were discussions on Hampton saying we must go beyond knowing and saying the right things, for there must be actions to bring about actual progress.
I make sure to say that I'm as progressive as I ever was, just a lot older, and I've learned that the Democratic Party provides the best vehicle to bring about meaningful change. And I point out that while Malcolm was not a Democrat – and when he recognized the importance of political participation, recommended his audience register as independents – he did work with several Democrats. These are among the “heirlooms” I try to hand off to the younger generations.
(PS: I was happy late at night to send my son a link to Connecticut state rep Liz Linehan's page, where she had posted Jim Morrison's mug shots from December 9, 1967 in New Haven. We have many very good Democrats in all levels of office. We need to support them, and leadership will arise.)
"Creepy"
"I don't know if I like communism, and I don't know if I like socialism. But I know that the Breakfast for Children Program feeds my kids. And if you put your hands on that Breakfast for Children Program …..”
Fred Hampton (8-30-48 to 12-4-69)
If I had one recommendation for young people today, it would be to study Fred Hampton. In 1967, the FBI deemed him a radical threat to the country. Note that in Chicago, he had created the Rainbow Coalition, a multi-racial group that recognized fascism and economic warfare as the primary threat to low-income and middle class communities. Thus, law enforcement brutally murdered him on this date in 1969.
Hampton recognized that positive actions needed to accompany bold speaking. Thus, he knew the Breakfast for Children Program was essential. Thus, I think his legacy should serve as food for thought for all of us. This is not because, as an old man, I am stuck in the past. The exact opposite, because there are children without enough food for a healthy diet, I am focused upon the future.
“They are doing something to you because they feel threatened in some way by your existence.”
Nur Omar Mohamad to his daughter Ilhan Omar
The above quote was a father's understanding of why some individuals were cruel to his daughter in school. His daughter went on to become an advocate for children having nutritious food in her state. She became more politically active. At a precinct caucus she organized in 2014, she was assaulted by a group of five people, suffering a concussion. It required her going to the hospital.
Then she became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Since then, she has become a favorite target of the felon and his cult. I think her description of the felon's obsession with her as “creepy” is right on target. The Social Science Research Council has stated that Rep. Omar is the primary target in DC for internet hate speech. The brain-dead are convinced she is trying to impose Shariah law in this country, failing to grasp their hero is both lawless and sending federal troops to American cities to inflict fear and injuries to the public.
Two maga-ites running in her district said Rep. Omar should be hung. There have been people arrested for threats against her life. In recent days, the felon has been stirring the pot of ignorance and hatred, resulting in yet another increase in threats. He wants someone – or group – to kill her. My concern is less with the idiots who make threats on the telephone and/or internet, than with the quiet, capable, extremely sick individuals who might think it their duty to their president.
Thus, if you have a couple bucks, I encourage you to donate to Rep. Omar, as she has to pay for increased security at this tense time.

The Chain
“This world and yonder world are incessantly giving birth;
every cause is a mother, its effect the child.
When the effect is born, it to becomes a cause and
gives birth to wonderous effects.
These causes are generation on generation, but it needs
a very well lighted eye to see the links in their chain.”
Jalal-ad-bin Rumi, Persion Sufi poet
He is, in my opinion, the hideous, one-eyed ogre that Thomas Merton said Laurens Van Der Post spoke of, in Merton's introduction to his book “Gandhi on Non-Violence” (New Directions, 1964). He lacks depth perception, rendering his the most shallow of men. Being hollow, all he comes in touch with is damaged. Human beings even beyond his dim awareness also suffer and die.
At times over the last decade, he seemed almost like Victor Frankenstein's monster in Guillermo del Toro's flick, though far less composed of human flesh, due to make-up. Nothing seemed to stop him beyond a brief moment's promise for justice followed by the grief of reality that he escaped meaningful consequence time after time.
Each lie the felon has told is connected to the next, and thus these form the chains that are slowly beginning to tighten around him. For his life is a lie that has up to this point only damaged others. But the universe has a balance and thus we see the decaying flesh of the hideous, one-eyed ogre and listen to the putrefying thoughts of rancid, disconnecting brain.
“You own your lies,” Onondaga Chief Paul Waterman told me from his hospital bed when I asked him if he had a message for society. “And even if it takes a while, every lie you tell will eventually catch up to you. So try very hard to tell the truth. That's what I think. It's better to tell the truth.”
Gandhi said that truth is God, which is distinct from saying God is the truth. He was speaking about an energy force, which is the same as the Haudenosaunee's Power of the Good Mind, when it combines with the Power of Ideas. It is an energy force available to each of us as individuals, which multiplies when we are part of a larger group. An example was citizens collecting food for the poor when Congress was shut down. It is by investing in these things that we will quicken the just ending of the ogre's power to harm others, and actually deliver him to justice.
It may seem a contradiction to say tell the truth, but do not add to the negative force. Certainly, if you are in a large group, such as an extended family holiday gathering, you may “insult” a brain-dead maga who is under the force of the shared delusion that the felon is making America great. Keep in mind that the way you respond to this type has an influence on others listening in. There are positive avenues for communicating the felon's negatives.
The felon will soon be firing several members of the administration. Because he views them as extensions of himself, some of those who make him look bad will have lots more time to spend with their families. Another will be able to travel with his girlfriend, though without a SWAT team for protection. If these bumbling clowns seemed bad, wait until we see their replacements. And it gets worse for him, and better for us.
The maga in Congress are experiencing an implosion. Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning. Thomas Massie has told about an FBI agent threatening to bring false charges against one of his staff if they continued to advocate for the release of the Epstein scandal files. The offices of both started experiencing the wrath of the rabid maga supporters of the felon. Like all Americans, they see lone phantoms called forth from within the dark shadows, pulling the triggers of weapons of war.
Some more will show signs of the starting of a spine growing in their backs in 2026. But most will not. And so it is our job to either convince them it's not worth running for re-election, or burying their political careers in the mid-terms. That is a very real possibility that is available to us at this time.
The Termination
Despite his hoping for news to distract from the focus on the Epstein scandal files, I am willing to speculate that the felon is not a happy camper today. This is just my opinion – others may think differently – but I will go on the Doors' record as saying I'll bet Pam's bondage as today's target of his rage is an unpleasant experience for her. For as always, someone has to be responsible for the felon's failures.
The felon awoke before noon.
He put his make-up on.
He made a face of ancient inferiority.
And he walked on down the hall.
He went into the room where his ketchup is stored, and then he
Paid a visit to the restroom, and then
He walked on down the hall,
And he came to a door
And he squeezed inside.
“Miller.” “Yes boss.” “I want to kill someone.”
“Pam …... I want to, uh, oh, oh
“Blame you.”
The Pedo Files: Episode One
"A wise man can play the part of a clown, but a clown can't play the part of a wise man.”
Malcolm X
I wish that Malcolm was here to talk about a tough man and a weak man. I'm not just talking about physically tough. Malcolm, for example, was a tough man who was as brave as he was intelligent. The felon-in-chief is a weak man, who feigns being a tough guy. Indeed, in recent days, we have witnessed his desperate to be a rough, tough he-man.
Only a weak man would delight in being cruel to someone who cannot fight back. We have seen this feature of the felon's personality for years. This week, he has been exposed as being what Dr. Bandy Lee refers to as a fragile man, one who when not merely frustrated, but afraid, lashes out at those he deems defenseless. He attributed his hoarse voice to screaming at someone in the administration. The he insults two female journalists for asking him uncomfortable questions. Let's consider these closer.
The fragile man screamed at someone I shall use the code name “polythene Pam” to identify. He was angry with her for two reasons we shall get to soon. Next, at the meeting with a foreign butcher, he was furious with a female reporter. His insults are less important than his use of the word “insubordinate” to describe her. This exposes his error in thinking that she works for him, when in fact that as president, he is the employee of the American people – including reporters.
Perhaps more telling was the swine's calling a female reporter “piggy.” It is not merely his body that is putrefied, it is the essence of his personality. The decaying orange ham has been rendered, at least for the moment, to vulgar sexist insults. Now let's focus on what is upsetting him so.
Like all fragile men, the porcine potbellied president hates being laughed at. One thing that would be humorous if not so pathetic that it becomes hilarious is a cartoon that Stephen Miller brought to his attention called “South Park.” Miller wanted the felon to sue the cartoon, itself a giggle. It is an accurate measure of exactly how thin-skinned these fragile men actually are. Someone – maybe polythene Pam, told the felon not to say anything, as it would risk a spike in the cartoon's viewership.
Now to more serious issues. The felon had believed he would enjoy omnipotent power in a parousia presidency. He intended to punish his enemies, such as James Comey. Now, 'ole Jim is not a popular figure on this forum, but even those who dislike him recognize that the case against him is falling apart at the seams. And the stuffing spilling out does not bode well for the prosecution. Indeed, those with serious legal minds are laughing at how weak it is. Hence, the felon is furious with his flying monkeys in the DOJ/FBI.
But what is really biting his bob has to do with what he considers betrayal on the Epstein Pedo Files. For no maga in DC has dared cross him in his second term, until now. Thus his rage against Marjorie Taylor Greene and three other House republicans. After fighting so hard to keep those files from the public, he was forced to change direction, and pretend he was all for their release. Let's take a deeper look at why.
Every thinking person recognized that the republicans in the House and Senate were spineless cowards, betraying their oath of office, out of fear of the felon. In truth, you could count the number of them who do not despise him on one hand. For example, take John Thune. He hates the felon and holds Mike Johnson in utter contempt – hence the Senate “vote” on releasing the files. While Thune lacks the courage of Marjorie Taylor Greene, his stance apes Erhlichman's Watergate position on Gray” “Let him twist slowly, twist slowly in the wind.”
Those from both parties in DC are being tight-lipped about evidence they have already seen. I do not know if this includes seeing the pictures of the felon with topless girls sitting on his lap that Michael Wolfe has spoken of. But what I have been told is that the evidence confirms that the felon was knowingly involved in the series of crimes involving trafficking girls and laundering money.
The DOJ will attempt to keep that information from being made public. Our job, as I see it, is to increase the grass roots' pressure on, so that the truth sees the light of day. And just for the heck of it, let's have fun in doing just that.
