Let's play a guessing game. It consists of only one question. The question is extremely challenging, not for beginners, and not for the faint of heart. The winning guess will be rewarded with ebullient kudos. Ready? The question is: Where is the despot today, Saturday, October 11, 2025?

Clearly, his draconian actions have nothing to do with "saving" cities or "preventing crime." It's all about his blood lust to OWN the DEMOCRATIC cities, subjugate them, silence them, and punish them. His motives are crystal clear. He's spoken them and he shows them.

That's not true. Active duty military members are under orders & there are severe punishments for disobeying orders: court martials, reduction in rank, bad conduct discharge, & even confinement to military prison. They would be robbed of everything they worked for & their futures would be ruined.

Although shuttering and cutting back our national parks, museums, and other cultural things is important, my mind is laser-focused on the military members who won't be paid on October 15 and all of the federal workers who have lost their jobs. We're all about to be hit by the proverbial Mack truck.

Holy cheese and rice! I thought we were rid of the daughter and son-in-law, but here they are again, inexperienced, unqualified and corrupt, interloping in U.S. foreign affairs. The boos and whistles are "just desserts." They deserve much more of the same.

That's great that the court ruled on the side of facts. Now, who will stop the illegal invasions and remove the existing ones? Posse Comitatus, anyone? All mikitaey aboard for the "Invasion Land Tour of the Cities of the U.S." Where the train will stop next is a TBD surprise. Pack a lunch.

Every one of those insipient nobodies is mocking a human rights freedom-fighting hero, who justly was recognized for her bravery & her work. They are clinking, clanking, clattering collections of caliginous junk. They're too stupid to know decency, bravery, or devotion to preserving human rights.

First, he doesn't know her name. Second, he was never in the running, so he didn't "lose" to her. Third, if this clip is not AI-generated, the despot needs to stop combining his Adderal with psychedelic substances. OK, despot, "what's her name" really called you. Uh-huh. It's time for beddy-bye.

Stephen Miller is one of the many MAGAt pus-filled boils on the country's ass. If a festering boil could talk . . .

Interpretation: "Short-term pain" on consumers so long as I & my family don't feel that pain. Detachment is a mainstay of MAGAts. Detachment allows the despot et. al. to inflict the most Machiavellian pain on others. Their detachment is a psychopathic condition that will prove to be fatal to others.

Those of us who are discerning know that. But I, and I'm sure others, appreciate your need to explain. We all know that despite social media guardrails on us (but not on the regime), we share many of the same the same thoughts.

Hate to tell ya, Bernie, but as the old saying goes, you're talking to the wall. I sincerely wish that were not the case. But, we must be realists while simultaneously fighting the war against a legally protected despot. Dems need strong weapons. Their dedication to our rights is a good start.
