Trump is Mentally Unstable
It’s interesting to analyze how we got to the point of having a dictator and oligarchy in the USA. Donald J. Trump is simultaneously exhibiting authoritarian attributes, and mental instability or possibly age-related mental degeneration. This combined with his crimes against women, underhanded business dealings and a support base of paranoid, racist followers, has created a very dangerous dynamic.
But it wasn’t more than just a few years ago, I lost liberal friends because I would not be as liberal as they demanded me to be. I still supported law enforcement during the George Floyd trauma, though it was tragic that Floyd was killed and some rookie officers were politically sacrificed in the process. I was completely in favor of any form of domestic partnerships having the same rights as marriage—but against calling it “marriage,” when same-sex. Because I knew, many people would be alienated on the more conservative side. Said liberal friends, utilized “cancel culture,” and cited my lack of intelligence for not meeting them on the far left. The friendships, beers and past conversations were left to die over degrees of politics. Even if, often, we were in agreement. One coworker was furious with me because although we were supporting the same candidate, I did not like her as much as he did.
So, I can truly understand how that certain group of people saw diversity initiatives as a threat to fair hiring. Afterall, Joe Biden promised to appoint only a black woman to the supreme court. And then he did it. This was not choosing for merit. It was a choice based on sex and race—which was somehow supposed to correct past wrongs. Two wrongs, don’t make a right. Also, as we look in disgust at the books being banned by conservatives in the attempts to squash diversity equity and inclusion, we should remember that liberals were involved in book bans for classics such as “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” due to concerns about racial insensitivity. The tendency of judging the past via “presentism,” is also sometimes problematic.
Ultimately, the backlash for this unchecked liberalism came in the form of Trump. He promised to right these wrongs. But instead, he has lied about everything. He is supported by racist, opportunistic hypocrites. And now, we are at risk of losing our democracy. The meanness, and blatant disregard for personal freedoms and fair opportunity is appalling. Everything is for sale to the highest bidder. Trump is alienating our closest allies and has our economy teetering on the edge of disaster.
So, liberal friends, we are on the same side. And to my conservative friends, what’s it going to take for you to realize the monster you’ve released on democracy? The firing of those with opposing viewpoints, the defying of court judgements, the fact that a convicted felon is running the country backward at least 150 years… You’ve been had.
Is the economy better? Have prices gone down? What made you vote the man who caused an insurrection because he lost the previous election—back into the White House? Has any of that gotten better? How is laying off government workers and imposing tariffs that stop trade and raise prices helping the economy? We’ve seen a lot of questionable actions by Trump, Musk, DOGE—and potential conflicts of interest in what is cut and who benefits. Human beings have been arrested and deported to foreign prisons by mistake! When is it going to be enough?
So, aside from that group that still thinks Trump has their personal best interest in mind, the majority of people should be moving onto the “same side.” The question is, can you compromise with others, or do you have to insist that everyone believes exactly the same things that you believe? Because it’s okay to disagree. That is where our most valuable ideas emerge—in that middle area.
What I believe is that Donald Trump and all of the people who are supporting his attempt to become the first king of the USA, need to be removed from office and all positions that give them power over anyone. Trump is a mistake. He is not mentally stable. This is bigger than your desire to have things your own way with no compromise. This is about someone telling you he’s making America great, while he is actually destroying the foundations of our democratic government. If you couldn’t see it before, can you see it now? Race is not the problem. Our differences are not a bad thing. Billionaires buying elections and handing out million dollar checks to gain power, is the actual problem. And we need to deal with it before it devours us.

Missing Helium Balloon
https://youtube.com/shorts/axCzjeA5HGc?si=03hDnqsCJRJlyIPe
My son didn't want to part with his helium balloon that I got for him for Valentine's day. It could no longer hold up its own weight. So here I am explaining to him that it's gone. I probably shouldn't have breathed in the helium before I made the video...

ICE took Jesus!
“ICE took Jesus!” shouted Garcia.
“Immigration?” replied Hassan. “But Jesus is a citizen, and a carpenter.”
“They said he is a criminal,” said Garcia. “And here illegally.”
“It’s the Orange One,” replied Bob. “He is sending everyone who he doesn’t like away to foreign prisons.”
“But they will die there!” shouted Garcia.
“Yes,” said Hassan. “But he would kill them here if he could. In fact, some of his followers would probably cheer if he did.”
“Until it happens to them,” said Bob.
“They don’t think it will,” said Garcia.
“How do we get Jesus back?” asked Hassan.
“It will be difficult,” answered Bob. “The inquisition is brandishing the holy book and waving the flag of the Republic!”
“But we must try,” said Garcia.
“Aye,” said Bob. “We must try.”
“At all cost!” agreed Hassan. “The Orange Liar must be deposed.”

NOT Patriots
The American Revolutionary War started April 19, 1775. It was to remove the king of England. Those guys were patriots. You imbeciles who are backing a billionaire fascist in his attempt to become king, are NOT patriots.
Easter Bunny???
I asked my 13-year-old if he still believes in the Easter Bunny. He said, "ah huh." So I said, "so you believe in a magical rabbit that brings you stuff?" He replied, "ah huh." I might just be suspicious, but I think he just wants the chocolate rabbit....

Trump's Team of Idiots
Did you see Linda McMahon, US Secretary of Education, repeatedly referring to AI as A1? The steaks are too high for these Trump selected idiots...

Ring Around the Sun
At 12:30pm I went outside and caught sight of a ring around the Sun. It was a bit too bright to look at it safely, so I took out my cell phone and snapped a picture. I didn't think too much about it and then when I looked at my photos sometime later, I found it pretty interesting. Here it is, untouched with no edits.

I really liked the first two Grumpy Old Men movies. But this third one is just dumb.

Trump's Stock Market Manipulation
Somehow, Donald Trump gets congratulated for stock market manipulation for backing off an economic disaster he created to make money. If Martha Stewart was president, she would go to prison.

Penguin Hat Tarrifs
If some of the tariffs are being suspended yet again, maybe I will be able to buy that cool red hat from the Penguins!

Earlier today, CuTRis imposed an 82 million billion trillion percent "reciprocal" tariff on Donald Trump, and a 44 million billion percent "reciprocal" tarrif on China. The stock market has reacted favorably. Even though he doesn't have stock, CuTRis stock went up 98 trillion points.
How We (USA) Got Here...
The "race war," was created to distract us, while we are being robbed by the rich. Since politians decide who gets what, they can do it legally. We all know reform is needed. But what and how it is being done, and who is benefitting, is not improving, it's becoming a fascist state, with an oligarchy that is fueled by racial hatred (backlash) from a liberal refusal to make certain people accountable for their actions. Meanwhile, we fight each other while our money and freedom is being seized. No amount of lying is too much, because the truth has been buried in the middle.

How to Get Rich?
Imagine if someone with access to a lot of money could cause the stock market to crash, like just for an example, if they could impose tariffs. Then, that person and others like him, could buy up a lot of stocks cheaply. Then if that same person could undo the tariffs and the stock market went back up, they would stand to gain a lot of money. It sure is a good thing for the rest of us who aren't billionaires, that no one has thought to do this.

Trump is a Disaster
Sometimes things get screwed up and nobody can help it. But this time, it's because of Donald J. Trump. The economy is tanking and the USA is sinking. It's due to one person and his band of mighty idiot followers.
Wisconsin Judge Election
How handing out million dollar checks to buy an election is legal, I cannot understand. But some people don't have a soul, and no matter how much money they have, they cannot buy one. If there are still people who don't think that billionaires are buying the government for their own purposes, think hard about this one election for a judge seat in the state of Wisconsin. The one thing I do understand, is that enough good people had the decency to say no to this hostile takeover.
