I’ve always expected there to be the silent shitheads. But the high volume stupidity on display in these United States is like watching drowning people refuse a life raft because they don’t like the color.

You wanted a culture war? Good. Now you’ve got one.

Every politician who calls this “freedom” should be dragged back to the dirt roads they forgot. We are not the fringe. We are the foundation. The working class is not your ATM, your cannon fodder, or your political theater. We are the muscle behind the myth … and we are wide awake now.

Honored to speak with @nharnie.bsky.social on the #BethesdaDeclaration. She opened with beautiful & powerful words from @defiance13.bsky.social. We discussed why #NIH is important, the harm happening there & why we had to speak up. www.podomatic.com/podcasts/sta...

Trump needs the show. America doesn’t. We’ve never bowed to kings, and we’re not starting for a man in a paper crown.

Real strength is quiet. It builds communities, defends liberty, and walks away from fights it knows it could win. A military parade is just theater for the insecure … a coward screaming in a bar fight, hoping the noise will keep the punches from landing.

Trump’s fragile little ego might need a parade to feel powerful … but America doesn’t. We don’t need tanks in the street or troops marching past golden stages to know who we are. Real strength doesn’t come with fireworks and forced applause. It doesn’t throw a birthday parade to feel relevant.

We are watching the slow rot of the republic, friends… one pardon at a time. The Founders warned us about kings. They didn’t expect we’d elect one who golfs badly and pardons like a mafia boss after three bourbons and a Fox News binge.

Scott Jenkins, corrupt to the bone and baptized in the unholy waters of political patronage, got his sins wiped clean by Rev. Don—high priest of vengeance and victimhood. Ten years? Too long, says Trump, in this new America, loyalty trumps law, and justice is just a four-letter word spelled “deal.”

Ah yes… nothing says banana republic in a smoking jacket like a convicted sheriff peddling badges for bribes—and then getting a golden get-out-of-jail-free card from the same man who once sold steaks and universities like snake oil.

Sanders says Arkansas in 'dire need of federal assistance,' but Trump says no - Arkansas Times
The state of Arkansas has appealed the federal government's denial of a request for assistance following disasters in North Arkansas.

But here’s the good news: Spring still comes. Truth still flowers. And every tyrant falls eventually … often beneath the weight of their own absurdity. We remember that too, this Easter. Amen, and pass the subpoenas.

So no, Mr. Trump, your Easter blessing rings hollow. You are not the risen. You are the rot.

He dares invoke the sacred while laying siege to the First Amendment, the separation of powers, and the basic tenets of democracy like Herod with a Twitter handle.

The man who pardons war criminals and dines with demagogues now invokes the Prince of Peace with the greasy sincerity of a huckster in a tent revival. He dares post Happy Easter after plotting to send American citizens to foreign prisons without trial.

He offers thoughts and prayers always prayers, never policy while public schools rot, while teachers dig into their own pockets for pencils and paper towels.

This man talks of resurrection while building detention camps in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty. He blesses families while tearing children from their mothers’ arms in the name of “security.”

Let us not forget the commandments written in executive orders: Thou shalt slash environmental protections to please the oil barons. Thou shalt impose tariffs that crucify American farmers while bowing to the whims of foreign strongmen.

RFK Jr., now Health Secretary in name and folklore, says autism is caused by toxins in our food, water, and maybe…ultrasound. No data. No scientists. Just a crusade against shadows with a federally funded spotlight. This is public health hijacked by a man who thinks epidemiology is a witch trial.

At Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall, stun guns crackled, protesters were dragged out, and she smiled through it all-blaming the media and denying she profited from tariffs she cheered in Congress and traded on in private. She defends liberty like a butcher defends sheep.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is allegedly locked in a prison funded by the very government that admits it got it wrong. A U.S. senator flew down to see him. He was turned away. El Salvador says the U.S. is paying the bill. And they are. The Constitution wasn’t torn-it was quietly exported.

Trump and RFK Jr. just proposed gutting health programs by $40B. Head Start? Gone. Public health? Now called the Administration for a Healthy America-which sounds like a vitamin pyramid scheme with riot gear. Call it austerity. Call it freedom. Just don’t call an ambulance-they defunded that too.

Col. Susannah Meyers praised unity among allies. JD Vance wanted Cold War cosplay. So the Pentagon fired her … for the crime of saying, “Actually, we get along just fine.” Truth has a new uniform … and it’s being escorted off base.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia grad student, protested a war … and now the U.S. says he’s a “national security threat” and plans to deport him. No charges. No violence. Just dissent. Land of the free … terms and conditions apply.

The House just passed a bill to stop “rogue judges” from blocking Trump’s orders. Because nothing says separation of powers like rewriting the rules when the referees call fouls. This is fascism with a gavel and a goddamn grin. Democracy is now available in executive orders only.

Trump’s budget is dead on arrival $5.7 trillion in debt wrapped in tax cuts and prayer. Johnson shelved it after the hardliners screamed it wasn’t cruel enough! And so the empire argues over who gets to sink the ship.

Trump slaps a 104% tariff on China. China fires back with 84%. The markets flinch. Eggs go up. Hope goes down. This is economic arson with patriotic branding. A trade war waged like a bar fight: loud, dumb, and full of broken glass. Globalization dies, not with a bang, but with a receipt.

Fifteen medics in Marked ambulances. Lights on. Unarmed. Shot dead. Buried in the sand. Israel says it was a mistake. Truth arrives late in war. This isn’t defense. It’s bureaucracy with a gun. It’s the Geneva Conventions redacted with blood. Humanity, once again, filed under “collateral.”

Canada’s pissed. Europe’s plotting. Detroit’s nervous. And you? You’re about to pay $8,000 more for a Subaru built on a planet we no longer pretend to understand. This isn’t protectionism… it’s a demolition derby in a collapsing strip mall. Freedom now comes with financing and a surcharge.

Robert L Arnold @defiance13.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Trump just lit the global economy on fire with a 10% tariff on everything, and anyone who ever sold America a toaster.This isn’t trade policy, it’s economic Russian roulette with all six chambers loaded and labeled “America First.” Globalization is dead. Long live the Price Hike.

Trump’s floating a third term, because when reality won’t renew your contract, you just rewrite the script. The Banana Republic now accepts term extensions… no receipt, no shame required.

Trump has launched a trade war against Canada and Mexico, because clearly, the best way to stop drugs is to tax avocados and lumber. This isn’t policy. It’s economic cosplay with real-world casualties. A war game where the generals are golf buddies and the battlefield is your grocery bill.
