8008S!
Am I suggesting we send exploding beepers to Mar-a-Lago?
Hardly.
I'm just saying that it'd be hilarious if a million or so
of these things suddenly arrived on Donald's Florida doorstep.
Maybe he could
store them in that bathroom that once held all those stolen
classified documents.
Yes, this cartoon is in bad taste but let's be clear... Trump
is Netanyahu's man. Bibi travelled down to Florida to meet
with the giant orange stinky clown back in July and there
was no subsequent journey northward to DC. Trump would gladly
stand back and let Israel pave over Gaza and the West Bank
with new condos for its "homesteaders" if he wins
the U.S. election.
I can even envision Trump liking the murder-pager idea so
much that, as dictator, he'd mandate all Americans carry
one at all times so he can Suicide Squad anyone that
steps out
of
line.
Anyway, if you're as appalled as I was by the exploding
pager attack, which killed many innocent children, then
know ye that
Trump is definitely part of that equation.

Trump's Project 2025
Fun Fact: P25 would put a lifetime cap on Medicaid benefits.
Meaning, if you use up all your benefits while you're young
then you're out of luck later when your body gets old and
needs help.
All part of the Republican philosophy to not only to keep
poor people poor, but to kick them when they're down.
More simply put: "Die and die quickly."

When I heard that the head of the UAW, Sean O'Brien, decided
not to endorse a candidate in this year's election the first
thing
I thought
was "Bribe".
Then I learned that O'brien
spoke at the recent RNC, and I thought "Yup, bribe".
Then I learned that many local UAW unions are endorsing Harris and I thought
"Uh-huh,
bribe."
Then last night I listened to Keith Olbermann tell a story about his father,
a
noted architect, who told Keith that "nothing gets built in this country without
someone
getting
a little taste of the action". And then Keith reminded us all that Trump
was in the real estate biz his entire adult life. And if anyone knew how bribes
work,
it's
Trump.
So, yeah.... bribe.

You
know, when I (often) question what went down on 9/11 I'm
not suggesting that lizard people wearing human skins used
CGI
to make people
think airliners hit the Twin Towers and blew the two (three,
really) buildings to pieces using Jewish space lasers.
I'm saying (buckle-up, buckaroos) that the oil-company CEO
son of a previous head of the CIA was awarded the Presidency
in
2000
by a Supreme
Court, one of whom was named Clarence Thomas, that couldn't
POSSIBLY have been corrupted by politics.
Dubya's opponent was part of an administration that had balanced
the budget for the first time and who was eager to solve
the impending climate crisis. Hard to imagine how an election
was stolen and given to the oil-guy in
a country run by the oil companies.
A quisling, btw, who by all accounts was not doing particularly
well at the job. He ignored all
warnings from security experts that an attack on this country
was imminent, fled to his Governor-brother's state of Florida
to read "My Pet Goat" to children on the very day
of the attack (certainly a huge coincidence) and
sat glassy-eyed as he was told twice that the country was
under
terrorist
attack.
He later claimed, on two occasions, tha he saw the first
plane strike on the Towers on a TV outside the classroom,
video
that
would
have been impossible for him to see without a CCTV link directly
from a camera in New York which relayed the image to a TV
in the Presidential limo.
But I digress.
As a result of the attack both Twin Towers magically
poofed into massive plumes of dust, a result which made
the world's architects sit up at their drafting tables
and yell "WTFF?" as, being experts in their
field, knew buildings didn't drop that way.
One of the other buildings in the complex, Building 7,
which coincidentally held the SEC files of an ongoing
investigation
regarding Dubya's part in a possibly corrupt energy deal,
simply collapsed into its own footprint and there's still
no explanation.
America then went to war against a country, Afghanistan,
that was famously resistent (Google "carpet of gold
or carpet of bombs") to Big Oil's desire to run
a pipeline through it and, after the invasion, suddenly
had an American oil pipeline running through it.
Dubya advised the American public to ignore the fear,
uncertainty and doubt his government officials were broadcasting
almost hourly and to, instead, "just go shopping" as
if nothing had happened.
Shortly after the attack the PATRIOT ACT, a
2800-page document gutting the Bill of Rights, appeared
from nowhere and was rammed down Congress'
throat as the ashes of the Twin Towers burned for weeks
in what could only be objectively viewed as a thermite-fueled
conflagration.
For his next trick Dubya lied about WMD's, which he made
sound like nukes, in oil-rich Iraq and subsequently threw
several trillion military
tax-dollars
into a middle-east
quagmire because, we're told, Saddam wanted to kill Dubya's
daddy. (Dubya could have invaded MY house for the exact
same reason. He didn't because I have no oil.)
Later, after American
forces allowed bin Laden to escape Tora Bora, Dubya said "I
am not concerned with bin Laden" and went golfing,
that is, when he wasn't "clearing brush" and
avoiding press conferences, at his high-tech central-Texas
bunker/prairie
home.
And the world has been a wonderful, magical, better
place ever since.
What I'm getting at here, and I'm going to quote the
slogan for "Milliways, the restaurant at the end of the
universe", from the Douglas Adams' book of similar title,
to frame it: "If you've done six impossible things
this
morning,
why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the
restaurant at the end of the universe?"
Essentially, "When there's been a shit-load
of previously inconceivable events occurring sequentially
in an absurdly short period of time in a manner
that benefits both the oil companies, the military
industrial complex, and the fascist oligarchy maybe we
SHOULD be a bit more suspicious."
Lefty out.
