The part that shreds the imagination - NONE of the chaos

The orange ogre carries out is necessary. Not in his first disastrous term, not in this one. Not the wars. He just breaks shit because he wants to - that includes the DOGE bullshit.

There really are no words. A fiction writer could not come up with the shit he pulls or says.

1. It's all to distract from Epstein. The biggest illicit sex, blackmail and money-laundering scandal in all of history.

Every act in his second term is another attempt to create chaos to hide the emerging facts.



He would destroy the world to cover up his and Epstein's hideous crimes.
And is well on his way to doing so.


We'll Meet Again!


Anyone who supports him is pushing the world closer to annihilation.

It's THAT F***ING SERIOUS.

3. Fiction writers wouldn't because there'd be little chance of selling anything as crazy as what Trump and

his regime are doing as anything but satire - but satire turns into horror mixed with all the real harm Trump and those around him are doing.

So much that's laughable, and so much that's tragic.

The same is true of most of our media, these days.

And the same is true of the tech lords, and especially the AI bros.

Assuming these psychotic clowns don't destroy society and the planet before they're removed from power, the historians writing about this era - the Era of Insanity, the Era of Stupidity - are going to have so much to try to explain.

The WTF era of Trump, Fox News, and the stupidest and most harmful tech ever, generative AI.

And if we can't stop them, we're likely to end up with a society where no one can read books, and most people are kept distracted playing like children generating AI slop while the AI companies tell them how creative they are.

... is a convenient by-product of his desperate desire to keep from being defenestrated by Putin. Everyone dismisses Putin's involvement in every aspect of Trump's malicious depredations at their peril.

To egg prices that weren't falling fast enough after Russia destabilized the world by attacking one on Earth's bread baskets. Thus, the media helped make egg prices the #1 concern. Sweeping away democracy to get a promise of cheaper egg prices was so worth it.

8. Because Trump is a chaos agent working for Putin who holds Epstein files and more over him.

The paradox is, according to Epstein, so does BiBi. Israel needs a strong US economy and US military. Russia needs the opposite.

Are they both manipulating him? When will one get pissed enough about the other's influence to finally expose whatever they have if we don't already know about it? And when will Prince Andrew spill some beans?
