22 XII 2025: Trump can’t stop pissing

A while ago we had a small rescue dog named Laddie, of happy memory. The very first time Laddie entered our house, he jumped up on a divan and pissed on it, thus claiming the divan as his particular place, a lookout for watching what was going on in the house and a comfy place for daytime naps.

Laddie was content to have one place to call his own and did not pee anywhere else. But Trump goes around peeing on everything and leaving his name wherever he can. He has most recently pissed on the Kennedy Center and now on a proposed set of new-fangled battleships to be referred to as “the Trump Class.”

Since the U.S.S. Kearsarge of 1900, U.S. battleships have always been named for states of the union. Will this be another Trump innovation? Maybe he could persuade some hyper-red state to change its name to Trumponia? But is not enough. The month of August was named for the Roman emperor Augustus. Now Augustus is no longer famous, and he was a foreigner. So how about changing the name of the eighth month to Trumpust?

16 XII 2025: Trump a mean drunk

Huffpost reports from the interview with Susi Wiles, Trump’s Chief of Staff, that appeared in Vanity Fair: “Wiles suggested she’s been adept at dealing with Trump because she grew up with an alcoholic father. Trump operates with ‘an alcoholic’s personality,’ she said, with ‘a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing.'”

Because of Trump’s reputation as a teetotaler, I discounted my original perception of Trump as a “mean drunk.” But here is some corroboration for that view from one who works with him all the time.

Trump behaves like a “dry drunk,” i.e., one who has stopped drinking, but continues alcoholic behavior. This behavior could include: psychological and physical abuse, utter certitude about one’s own feelings and perceptions, raw hostility against anyone who disagrees, unquestioned self-confidence, an almost infinite capacity for resentment, and a lust for revenge.

So Trump eschews alcohol, but we’ve no idea of the extent of Trump’s intake of narcotics. What kind of a drug cocktail must Trump’s psychiatrists be putting together to keep him from going completely off-track? And, of course, like many alcoholics and addicts, he is propped up by a circle of enablers who know just how to “handle” him. 

We know too well how self-centered and self-serving are all Trump’s utterances, how, for him, nothing at all is not about Trump. I’m sure that when he contemplates the prospect of his death, he really doubts that the world will be able to get along without him.

7 XII 2025: Don’t intend to stop attacking

There are parallels between the behavior of Israel and Russia.

• Each, in its own way, is fighting to reclaim land that was given to them, by God or by Stalin. 

• Both make their claims as successors to a more glorious regime, Russia, Tsarist Empire, Israel, the Kingdom of Herod.

• Both are continuing acts of violence while pretending to negotiate peace.

• Both are irredentists, and will not cease acts of violence until they get what they want.

• The governments and armies of both are chock-a-bloc full of war criminals.

• Neither can be believed about anything.

• America is the dupe of both of them.

3 XII 2025: Who is the garbage?

It has often been observed that the President has the trait of accusing others of the very offenses of which he is himself most guilty.

So I read that he has denounced our Somali immigrants as “garbage.” That leaves me to wonder if the term “garbage” would not better fit Trump and his lickspittle entourage.

25 XI 2025: The case of S. Claus

There seems to be some pessimism about this Christmas, due to the high cost of goods, the dearth of goods, and MAGA’s suppression of peace and good will. I don’t think that this depression will be alleviated by I.C.E.’s hunt for Santa Claus. 

     Mr. Claus is an alien who enters the United States illegally to work every year. He has been getting away with this for years and years, but that was before Kristi Noem and Tom Homan who deeply resent the cigarette butts and empty beer cans they routinely find in their stockings. They can be counted on to make an all-out effort to track Santa Claus and send a squad of ex-con I.C.E. agents to seize him and remove him to an unspecified site. Santa’s usual reindeer will not be able to protect him. Santa does enjoy a lot of support in the wider community, but will mobs of children be able to keep St. Nick free of the I.C.E. goons?

12 XII 2025: U.S. Needs a de-Icer

The ICE Mob is resorting to thuggery more and more. Their abusive behaviors would get them arrested and convicted in the real world. That is why they wear masks. Maybe if Nazi war criminals had worn masks they would have escaped retribution.

We’ve not yet been told the truth about Tom Homan’s windfall of cash. Is Tom a “bent copper”? Maybe there is a credible explanation for the exchange of money in which he participated, but we have yet to hear it. And can we believe any explanation we hear?

22 X 2025: Settler crimes increasing on West Bank

From AP: “Settler violence is surging across the West Bank. The U.N. says the first half of 2025 has seen 757 settler attacks causing casualties of property damage – a 13% increase compared with the same period last year.” 

Even AP seems to be buying into Israeli propaganda, as it refers to these thugs as settlers. They are not “settlers,” but are occupying irregulars. And the “attacks” are not raids by military or police, but assaults and vandalism by colonists. 

The viciousness on the West Bank is, along with Gaza, part of the Israeli plan to expel the Palestinians and seize for themselves the remaining Palestinian lands.

Blog: Trump’s critics

I see that today is the feast of St. Lupenzius, a monk of Chalons, who, it is said, was tortured and murdered because he criticized Queen Brunechilde. Critics of Queen Trump should take warning.

20 X 2025: King of Incontinence

I’ve read of an AI cartoon posted online that shows Trump wearing a crown, sitting at the controls of an obsolete fighter jet, and dumping his shit on demonstrators below. This is all only partially true. Trump has no crown — he’s a dictator, not a king. Trump would not fly a fighter jet, but would use his new flying palace which could carry much more shit. However, no one doubts that Trump is full of shit, so much so that he is famously incontinent and cannot even control the shit he dumps on all the world.
