“When the music's over
when the music's over
when the music's over
turn out the lights
turn out the lights
turn out the lights
----Jim Morrison and the Doors
As stated earlier in these commentaries, the question had become: could or would the United States elect another Dwight Eisenhower? The country answered in the affirmative when in 2020 we chose Joseph Biden as our 46th president. But it was only after our Caesar Disgustus had made a complete pig's breakfast of things. The economy, by election day was hemorrhaging hundreds of thousands of jobs each month, thousands dying daily from the pandemic he refused to confront, and the markets in a state of paralysis. It appeared that our experiment of government by 'shitter' didn't work.
But, alas, poor Joe proved to not be very entertaining and, since at least Reagan, a premium has been set upon the ability of our chief executive to keep us on the edge of our seats. And so, the country, once again prospering but bored, and choosing excitement over competence, turned to the Orange Turd.
It didn't take long for the stench that surrounds our erstwhile Caesar to once again fill the nostrils and overpower our good senses. Once again we feel compelled, albeit with some trepidation, to every morning approach our living rooms, turn on the television, to find what steaming pile of shit he's left via 'shitter' or his own anti-social soil pipe he calls 'Truth Social” or, in tRUMPspeak “Untruth Anti-Social” or Anti-Social Lies.”
Today, being the 4th, and our annual observance of national independence, we were presented with, to his mind, an appropriately huge gift. A gift in the form of a giant, steaming, disgusting, pile of shit he calls “the Big Beautiful Bill”. It is, in fact, a “Big Disgusting Turd”.
Fashioned by Maggot Mike Johnson, ReSCUMlican Speaker of the House, made worse by the ReSCUMlican controlled Senate, and sent back to the House for ratification the Scum rammed this turd down the throat of the nation in the dead of night knowing that if the country got whiff of it before we were forced to eat it, revolt would be at hand.
The Democrats were quick to point out that the bill takes 80 billion dollars out of Medicaid and Medicare. Estimates vary with a reported 11-16 million will lose health coverage. Rural hospitals, some estimates of over 700, will close. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are in immediate danger. Head Start for the young and “Meals on Wheels” for the elderly will be gone. All this to give the top 1 percent and large corporations hundreds of billions in tax breaks. It will balloon the deficit and add between 3 and 5 trillion to the national debt.
They couldn't repeal ObamaCare. No. Now they just defunded it.
But that's not the half of it. FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, responsible for federal response and relief to natural disasters, like hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires will be gutted. Ditto NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency. The National Institute of Health and similar agencies responsible for, among other things, pandemic response will also be cut or outright eliminated as the war on science continues unabated. The bill is a perfect piece of tRUMPian dystopian legislation; of, perhaps, the final imposition of absolute tRUMPian ignorance upon the system. The crowning act of vandalism.
But his, dear god, is not the worst of it.
.By some estimates nearly 150 billion will go to fund I.C.E., the masked, hooded, gestapo that now roam the streets arresting and disappearing those with no documentation, those with documentation and, sometimes U.S. Citizens. This makes I.C.E., now larger than the FBI, and larger than most military forces around the world. They arrest people without identification, without warrants, and provide no due process as people are carted off to concentrations camps, El Salvadore, Guantanamo, and now a place in the Florida Everglades being made ready dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” and celebrated by the fascist scum. Forty-Five billion dollars has, with the signing of the “Big Stinking Turd” been appropriated to build concentration camps in the United States. Let that sink in.
“Alligator Alcatraz” has been dubbed 'tRUMP's Auschwitz'. It is more like Diaper Don's Dachau, the Nazi camp built within month's of Hitler coming to power. But this doesn't look, given the level of spending, like this will bode well.
We now embark upon the 250th anniversary of the founding of our republican experiment. Caesar Disgustus and his fascist movement has marked this milestone by assassinating the republic. We have become a republic in name only. A banana republic, thanks to tRUMP and the oligarchy that he now serves.
The music's over....turn out the lights.
Impeach and Imprison.
