I have enough emotional cushion today to write a bit about Mad King Donnie’s crusade to tear down America, but where to start? It’s a target-rich environment – I’ll just toss a few things out:

• A stock market that has lost 10% value over the last month, erasing SIX TRILLION DOLLARS of investment gains. (Including way too much of our retirement fund.)
• Former international allies like Canada, France, the UK, and of course Ukraine, giving up on us. They understand that we are lost to them, perhaps enemies, as long as MKD is in charge.
• Donnie musing thoughtfully about ways to deport US citizens. I’ll say it again, deport US citizens! This is the next step in the US becoming the Soviet Union circa 1960.
• Ongoing wanton, random destruction of the IRS and the Social Security Administration by the DOGE boys. I guess the logic is that SS will become more solvent when we can’t send checks to anyone.
• MKD’s ongoing attacks on universities, withholding hundreds of millions in grant funds unless they bow to the king. The culture wars writ large. Same for news organizations and law firms. Behave as MKD dictates or suffer the consequences.
• Deportation of anyone MKD’s orcs declare a threat to the El Salvador hell-prison continues, with no due process, now authorized by SCOTUS. That includes those unfortunate souls proven to be there by mistake. “Oops, sorry, we’ve lost your baggage loved one somewhere in Central America. Call this number to see what your options will be. Thanks for flying ICE Air.”
• MKD declares that the Nazi’s treated some of their Jewish prisoners “with love”. Yeah, they lovingly rounded them up, placed them in cargo trains, tortured and starved them, then gassed and cremated six million of them. Tough love, Donnie. Your kind of people.
• Our unnecessary US measles outbreak continues, undeterred, perhaps even enabled, by wacko anti-vax health services leader RFK Jr. The fox is definitely guarding the hen house.

And all that’s just off the top of my head. These are dark, dark days. It’s going to take something significant to change course now – riots, a civil war, an uprising in Congress – maybe all of the above.
