Wrote this verse a *while* ago and revised it just now:
(with apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan)

🎶 This is the very model of a crisis constitutional,
We've put the country in the hands of Trump the Chief Deplorable,
He's stacked the courts and cabinets with people abominable,
This is the very model of a crisis constitutional. 🎶

I did, and the title does not exaggerate. It really is worse than you thought. For example:
J.P. Cooney, a career federal prosecutor and former top deputy in Jack Smith's special counsel's office, explains how President Trump sued his own IRS as a private party, settled the case through attorneys who have also been his personal lawyers, and then secured an addendum—signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche—immunizing Trump and his family from any IRS audit or tax-enforcement proceeding. Cooney calls it "practiced, skillful corruption".

With apologies to @ironspike.bsky.social Afon's...expression? posture?...in this panel is a perfect expression of every possible 'what exactly is happening right now' and 'how very interesting' at the same time
Reuben's stepmom Leah is braver around Afon than most people her age. AND she puts up with Reuben.

But like a lot of hippie types, there's an apocalyptic streak in her philosophy. It manifests as treating Afon like a cross between a message in a bottle to the future and avenging angel.

The highlighted sentence below not only includes bad math, but zero facts; the citation link does not include any factual evidence of their '1300% increase in assaults on ICE' and '3200% increase in vehicular attacks against ICE' statements at all.
The results of your state’s policies and politicians’ anti-law enforcement rhetoric are a national 
tragedy. Violence against ICE officers and agents has increased approximately 1,300 percent.7
Vehicular attacks against ICE officers have increased 3,200%.8 Perhaps most disappointing, the 
lawlessness caused by these policies has bled into sacred spaces of worship. Parishioners were 
met by an anti-ICE mob last weekend, as several dozen individuals stormed Cities Church in 
Minneapolis to interrupt worship services and scream in the faces of frightened Christians and 
their families. 9 The violence against our officers and the violations of religious liberties cannot 
be allowed to continue.

Some highlights below. NOTE: of the numerous "dangerous" immigrants listed in the cited links, *only one* was deported in 2025. The rest do not mention a date, or were not deported during Operation Metro Surge
In December 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched Operation Metro 
Surge to protect Americans from the dangers presented by unchecked illegal immigration,
including violent crime and drug trafficking. Since the beginning of this operation, law 
enforcement has put themselves in harm’s way to arrest dangerous criminals, including members 
of notorious, violent gangs.1 Criminal illegal aliens convicted of homicide, drug trafficking, 
sexual assault against a child, rape with a weapon, and other horrific crimes are now off the 
streets because of Operation Metro Surge.2
Unfortunately, you and other Minnesota officials have refused to support the men and women 
risking their lives to protect Americans and uphold the rule of law. Because Minnesota, 
Minneapolis, and St. Paul have chosen to ignore federal immigration law by enacting sanctuary 
laws and policies, the federal agents led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have operated alone. And politicians in your 
state are not just refusing to help these agents, they are putting federal agents in danger.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said, “ICE: Get the f*** out of Minneapolis. We do not want you 
1 Under President Trump’s leadership, ICE has arrested members of some of the world’s most dangerous gangs in

Yes, because unless you plan on keeping your kid at home forever, his/her vaccine status affects everyone they are around. And quit the catastrophizing. No one is holding a kid at gunpoint to vaccinate them.
So you think kids should be vaccinated at gunpoint against their parents’ wishes or removed from the home?

Just in case you weren't aware, that highlighted phrase should read "all people are subject to due process."
If this preliminary investigation suggests that status, the person ends up in the Criminal Alien Program office for processing—which is where I would come in. “What you see on TV, with us arresting people and doing all kinds of crazy things, that’s maybe 10 percent. The other 90 percent is essentially doing a bunch of paperwork,” the agent said. “It takes a lot to remove somebody from the United States. Some people are subject to due process.”

People were calling for war. They openly discussed occupying the Capitol. They called for hangings. They broke windows, vandalized and stole from offices, smeared shit on the walls. They were the *antithesis* of peaceful.
PEACEFUL MARCH
Patriots March to the Capitol
Following the President's speech, the massive crowd peacefully marches down Constitution Avenue to the Capitol to protest the certification of the fraudulent election. The march is orderly and spirited, with flags, signs, and chants supporting President Trump.

Security Failures
Capitol Police Response Escalates Tensions
Capitol Police aggressively fire tear gas, flash bangs, and rubber munitions into crowds of peaceful protesters, injuring many and deliberately escalating tensions. Video evidence shows officers inexplicably removing barricades, opening Capitol doors, and even waving attendees inside the building—actions that facilitated entry—while simultaneously deploying violent force against others. These inconsistent and provocative tactics turned a peaceful demonstration into chaos.

yeah white men are so oppressed.
The administration plans to issue a $1 coin with President Donald Trump’s likeness on it next year, despite a century-old precedent of not honoring sitting, or even living former, presidents on coins.
Instead of quarters honoring the abolition of slavery, granting women the right to vote and the Civil Rights movement, the Treasury will instead issue historical quarters featuring white men from the 18th and 19th centuries who were already well represented on currency and in historical tributes.

More proof that this country isn't going to 'grow out of' racism any time soon. Especially given the current Racist-In-Chief.
A teacher told OCR she heard a kindergartener use the N-word and saw swastikas doodled on notebooks, and students admitted saying “slavery is good” and “white power.” For many, the investigator found, school was a hostile, discriminatory place.

Only someone who never listened to the transcript of the phone call could make this argument.
In his filing, Mr. Skandalakis called into question almost every decision that Ms. Willis made in bringing her case against Mr. Trump. Notably, he argued that “reasonable minds could differ” about how to interpret the January 2021 telephone call between Mr. Trump and Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state.

“One interpretation is that President Donald J. Trump, without explicitly stating it, is instructing the Secretary of State to fictitiously or fraudulently produce enough votes to secure a victory in Georgia,” Mr. Skandalakis wrote. “An alternative interpretation is that President Donald J. Trump, genuinely believing fraud had occurred, is asking the Secretary of State to investigate and determine whether sufficient irregularities exist to change the election outcome.”

Not putting "Killed" before "Restrained, Beaten, Asphyxiated" kinda buries the lead on this one:
Even in a system known for its brutality, what New York State prison guards did to Robert L. Brooks and Messiah Nantwi stood out.

Both men were handcuffed before guards beat them viciously, leaving them unable to defend themselves or even shield their faces as the blows rained down. Both died soon after being attacked, victims not of justified force but, essentially, of torture.

The killings caused a brief reckoning this year within the walled-off world of New York’s prisons, resulting in criminal charges against 20 of the officers involved and sending officials scrambling to try to portray the episodes as unacceptable aberrations.

Oh...it's *definitely* real. And way worse than the headline. Of the students protesting the flag's display, only Black students were suspended. None of the white kids that protested were suspended *at all*
In response, many students said the school did not do much to reprimand the students carrying the flag, and a protest was planned to bring awareness to the problem, CBS 46 Atlanta reported.

However, the school administration suspended several students who were planning the protest. Student protesters told CBS 46 that only Black students were suspended. 

“The administration is aware of tomorrow’s planned protest,” the administrator said over the intercom before the planned demonstration. “Police will be present here at school and if students insist on encouraging this kind of activity they will be disciplined for encouraging unrest.”

Two white students participating in the Friday protest were not suspended, even though they claimed to be as disruptive as the Black students, CBS reported.

“The female had these incredible little horns on her face. When writing up the new species description I was watching the Netflix show Lucifer at the time, and the name just fit perfectly. I am also a huge fan of the Netflix character Lucifer so it was a no-brainer,” said bee ecologist Kit Prendergast from the Curtin University.

“These horns are found only in the female, unlike most sex-specific weaponry or ornamentation in animals,” scientists wrote in the study.
