My essay in today’s Post-Star about political apathy in ignored rural communities, like where we live in Fort Edward, NY, and how I became so engaged in local politics. This is a conversation worth having, and I value your opinions. poststar.com/opinion/edit...

Angie Nixon, Melat Kiros, Claire Valdez, and Abdul El-Sayed are eloquent, passionate, pluralistic humanists who believe in democratic socialism. The only actual communist dictator wannabe in America is the delusional, narcissistic, isolationist monster on the left.

Trump unto himself is the embodiment of America’s sins. I mean, just take it in: He has the greed of the robber barons; the cruelty of the slaveholder; the arrogance of the colonizer; the paranoia of the witch hunter; the corruption of the political machine; and the vengeance of the demagogue.

When Canada, Germany, France, Ireland, and New Zealand all issue travel warnings about coming to “Trump’s America” due to the possibility of violence, mass shootings, and domestic and/or international terrorism… no further commentary is needed.

Do MAGA Christians really need any more proof that Trump is the Deceiver, the False Prophet, the Antichrist? This was his Easter morning post. Supporting him isn’t just a political choice… it’s heresy. And if their hell is real, it might be wise for them to start preparing for eternity in it.

It's Monday evening... but almost 97 years ago, on what became known as Black Tuesday, Wall Street shit the bed. Trump, his administration, and MAGA Republicans seem to be doing everything in their power to make sure that history repeats itself.

This morning in Australia at the "No Kings" rally:

Trump is the Blob -- oozing, spreading, consuming, growing larger and more grotesque by the day. The only difference between these monsters is that the alien amoeba had a clear sense of direction as it absorbed and dissolved everything in its path. Trump just destroys with reckless abandon. No plan.

Trump's SAVE Himself Act is likely to hogtie the many ill-educated MAGA voters with little understanding of the election process and ability to follow simple instructions. This will backfire on Republicans... and some of them know it. Also, Democrats are more informed and prepared voters.

Trump is actively rewriting the rules to make beating him at the polls seem insurmountable. But it's not. Think and act on a local level. Get involved with local Democratic Committees; follow likeminded people; vote as if your life depended on it; and "Never let the bastards grind you down."

I woke up this morning to the recurring nightmare that while we have a deranged, raging, gluttonous, afflicted, malignant narcissist infecting the country with his MAGA disease, the current presidential line of succession is littered with terrifyingly dangerous bootlickers.

He was very, very ill; however, symbolically, it looks like the demonic toxicity of Vance's hideous, oozing aura proved to be too much even for someone as spiritually protected as Papa Francesco. One of the greatest guardrails against the sinister usurping of humanism has fallen. God save us all.

I've had over a day to process his love-in with that insidious orange monster... and like almost everyone I know and every post I read, I have three words directed at the puckered, little weasel who just suckled Trump's enormous, endlessly flatulent rump-hole: Fuck Bill Maher!

Agent Orange filed for bankruptcy four times... and it feels like he's aiming to sink America with his fifth. Our country will be a boarded up casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk of Earth.

I despise him with every, single ounce of my being. He is a cancer on my mind... and his constant media presence and the festering drivel that pours from his puckered face eats up my time.

Everyday I listen to Morning Joe on MSNBC and everyday it’s another absurdist Trump dice roll, conversation of AI overlords, terror tariffs causing investment uncertainty. What will we name this era?

We thought Reagan era greed was bad... but Trump's minion of sycophantic nitwits are far, far worse than Yuppies. For the sake of it, let's call these bootlicking hustler wannabees what they are: Ninnies.

The president's job is to lead America, not take it over. As you read this post, an operation is taking place to strip protections and freedoms from ALL citizens, even the MAGA faithful. "This is the end, beautiful friend(s)." This is the end and I dread what's on the other side.
