The Divided States of Tramp

Shame on you, America, for not doing more! Not more looting and pillaging of foreign countries' natural resources (looking at you Irak and Venezuela), not for claiming to be a beacon of democracy while censuring your own media (wink-wink Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel) and invading or claiming to invade foreign countries and territories  (don't be shy Greenland, Columbia, Mexico and Panama - did I forget any?) , not even for the pardoning of convicted criminals (the Capitol 1500+) and drug lords (how's that cocktail Juan Orlando Hernandez?). No, shame on you for not doing more to stop this senseless spiral down into chaos and dictatorship that you are locked in. Shame on you for allowing a petty, vindictive, decrepit old man climbing back on top in a position of power, then letting him take your rights and your family members and do with them as he pleases.

Yes, I say "America", even though the actions of one or the few doesn't represent a nation, the inaction of the many speaks volumes as to what you are capable and willing to live with. Remember the old saying that goes something like "the only thing that evil needs to triumph (or prevail) is for good people to do nothing". And make no mistake, Trump is absolute, pure evil. There is not a single fiber in his being that has a shred of human decency. If you need more proof, look no further than his reaction to the deaths of celebrated director Rob Reiner and his wife.

Trump knows no remorse, for he is never wrong. Instead of recanting or repenting for his mistakes, he will, without fail, always double down on what he said or did. When faced with the contradiction of reality itself and has no way out, he will result to a childish trick and brazenly claim he never did or said it in the first place, even though there is documented video or audio proof of him saying or doing those things.

His perception is so far from reality, that he may as well be living in a parallel dimension, but he broadcasts it so much, so often and with such conviction, that feeble minded idiots (starting with Vance, Hegseth, Patel, Noem, Bondi, Rubio and Miller) end up parroting it back to whomever is willing to listen to them.

You've probably heard of the Marvel or DC Comics Universe. Well, I'd like to welcome you into the DT Horror universe, on Earth 666, where Dumbald Jackass Tramp is King of the Divided States of Tramp and he lives in the White "DJT" Versailles Palace, people are submitted to random anti-free-speech checks in the street, thugs wearing ICE insignia embark or shoot people with impunity for looking slightly suspicious, all billion-dollar companies in the World pay him personally tribute and propaganda is broadcast 24/7 on all channels and in the streets, via speakers or giant screens that send the same subliminal messages: "OBEY!", "WORSHIP ME!", "I AM THE BEST!" et cetera.  

How far do you think we are from that dystopian future? Not very far. The only thing that stands in its way is you, the American people. And the only question you need to ask yourselves is this: are we going to do something about it?

"Dictator" doesn't even begin to describe Trump. "Tyrant" also doesn't quite paint the full picture. This creature needs a new word to properly encompass how vile, cruel, egotistical, reckless, corrupt, gluttonous and immoral this psychopath truly is.

Shame on you, America, for he has no shame!  

I believe Caesar said divide et impera, but Trump lives by another concept: divide and profit. There is absolutely nothing that matters more to him, except, maybe, his self-image or ego, if you will. Which is such a fragile, dainty, but oversized thing. You rub that the wrong way and he might turn down a juicy deal, but only to get revenge tenfold afterwards, so beware!

In a relatively short time span, he has managed to turn neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend and even family members against each other. His divisiveness reaches even across the borders and splits other nations' opinion about his actions or discourse. And no, despite what his MAGgot fanatics will tell you, that is not a sign of genius, that is a clear sign he should never have been president, so not the first time and definitely not the second time. To put this bully at the top of one of the most powerful nations of the world a second time is not a lapse in judgement or the need for change, it's simply inconceivable and therefore unforgivable.

Please don't wait until it's way too late. Please don't wait until the first political opponent ends up in prison or assassinated (or both, like it happened to Alexei Navalny) on his say so, cause I can almost guarantee you that it will happen. And please don't wait until 2028 when he will either cancel the elections or illegally run again (if he lives that long). So do your duty: go vote and impeach this piece of garbage that knows only one thing: how to fill his pockets...and fight windmills. Remember who else was fighting windmills? 

 

There are no words

 

 I'm appalled. I'm disgusted. I'm at a loss for words.

 Donald J.(ackass) TrAmp is not a human being. He is something that oozed out of an orifice of a creature that eathes, breathes and makes nothing else but shit. 

Its (no, I won't ever dignify Tramp with a "him") reaction is vile, unwarranted, unwanted and unwelcome. It's a reaction beneath anything that could possibly be considered as belonging to a sentient being. It's beyond belief. It's beyond reprehensible. It's...Trampworthy.

If anyone is good at inventing words, please feel free to add in the comments some adjectives that would be suitable to describe this piece of trash that calls itself human. 

 

Sticks and stones or AR-15s?

 

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones" - Albert Einstein

We've come a long way. From the almost bipedal creature that could only get as far off the ground as the highest tree it could climb, to the above the clouds 30.000 feet birds of steel taking us faster and farther than our ancestors could possibly fathom.

And yet, we are still the same as those poor, frightened, monkey-like cave dwellers that fear the lightning and the subsequent crash of thunder that had the first storytellers invent magical beings fighting in the skies or punishing us for our trespasses.

It is amazing and baffling to me how much we've changed yet how we are still the same when we let our so-called leaders govern us by fear. Fear of poverty, fear of internal or external enemies (be it real or imagined), fear of communism, of terrorism, of our neighbors, of our own friends and family.

The best example are the United States of America. The recent streak of mass shootings had (yet again) cracked open the proverbial can of worms about gun ownership regulation and the adulated second Amendment.

I have recently and rather uncharacteristically got involved in a thread on Twitter (yes, I guess I'm that old) where people were quick to attack anyone who remotely suggested that more safeguards should be put in place in order to have a stricter control on who is actually fit to own a gun and has a good reason to ask such a permit.

One of the most absurd reasons that I've read was that this was the only way to protect the citizens from dictatorship as well as from FOREIGN INVADERS.

Now let's take each of those arguments (apart) and see if they make any sense.

First off, I don't believe there has been any moment in the rather short history of the New World where Americans had to put up with any form of totalitarianism. Meanwhile, slavery, on the other hand, doesn't seem to register anywhere or bear any relevance in all this discussion, though.

To me, saying that it's because of said guns that there has been no dictatorship, reminds me of a joke about a guy who was gently tapping his fingers on a table. When asked what he was doing, he simply replied: "I'm scaring off tigers". "But I don't think there are any tigers around here", the other one said. "See how effective my method is?", the first one concluded.

My point is fear isn't rational, preparing for something doesn't necessarily mean it's the reason why it's not happening. People need to trust the system and its institutions, rather than taking matters into their hands.

Moving on to the ridiculous assumption that it's civilian gun owners that scare off any potential enemy from invading the US makes me literally laugh out loud. It's so preposterous I can't even begin to imagine how somebody could even come up with such nonsense.

If there's anything that keeps those real or make-belief enemies at bay, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the nuclear capacities and impressive armed military forces that we hear about and see on TV. No, it's the bazooka and AR-15 rednecks who need to wear weapons when they go shopping at Toys'R'us, just in case a toddler decides to deploy a WMD in the middle of the mall.

It's pathetic, is what it is! Those proud boys (and they really are afraid , little boys) are so out of touch with reality that they actually think they are safer carrying those guns without even realizing how they're doing nothing but reinforcing everybody's fears of gun-related violence.

There's just one more thing I'd like to say on this matter: there's no middle ground with these people. Stricter gun control equals no gun ownership of any kind among civilians (which would actually not be that bad, but don't let them hear you saying that).

But it's in their nature to overreact like this. How else could you explain that in a country that has (to my knowledge) never had an actual international conflict on its soil fears so much an invasion that it feels the need to wear assault weapons just for a coffee run?

Meanwhile mass shootings happen because almost anybody can procure a gun (and not just through illegal means) and all the American people do is either ignore them or actually use it to justify the need for even MORE weapons. Cause who doesn't want their kindergarten have armed guards or teachers, right?

And it really is all about perception. I remember the first time I saw military in the streets in France, just patrolling with their automatic weapons on display. My first reaction was: what's going on?! Why do we need armed soldiers to guard us? My sister-in-law, who had been living there for years didn't spare them a second glance and simply stated "I actually feel safer knowing they're here to protect us".

I guess I've said my piece, except this: I think I've heard it in Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine that in America more people die in shootings a year than in all other countries combined. I've recently been made aware by a gun supporter it was (no longer?) true to our days and that in Mexico alone there are more deaths. To people like him, I only want to ask you this: what happened to that great America, that made it stoop so low as to compare itself with a drug cartel infested country?

I guess any argument will do as long as it allows gun totting lunatics to keep their guns that their children eventually use to (accidentally) shoot themselves or their teachers and colleagues.

Sounds to me like the only invasion force that they should fear is not even at their thresholds, but in their very homes.

In conclusion, I leave you with this: there's nothing worse that anybody in the world can do to Americans that they aren't already doing or have done to themselves.
