The United States is now facing the greatest threat to our free way of life in our history. Even the US Civil War was not the danger that is Donald Trump. In the Civil War, the South wanted to separate from the rest of the Union. Today, Trump does not want to separate from the US, he seeks to destroy the fundamental functions and purpose of the US. He seeks to destroy the Constitution, replacing the Judiciary and Legislative Branches with puppets of the Executive. Plainly stated, Trump seeks to establish himself as a dictator . . . and as of May 2025, he may succeed.
Remember when Mike Johnson was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives and he claimed “God selected me to lead the House the same as He selected Moses to lead the Children of Israel.” ?? Remember that?
Well, now it seems God has had enough of Johnson’s bullshit.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a move that many called long overdue, on Thursday God formally notified House Speaker Mike Johnson that he was going to Hell.
In a rare public statement, the Almighty said that Johnson’s support of Donald Trump’s war in Iran was the “last straw” that sealed the Speaker’s eternal damnation.
“What do you do with someone who claims to be a Christian and supports killing civilians?” God asked. “You send his ass to Hell, that’s what.”
Confronted by reporters in a Capitol corridor, Johnson said he was “disappointed” by the Heavenly Father’s decision, but added, “I serve a higher power than God — I serve Donald Trump.”
Trump: I know a lot of stupid people that went to a good college. My uncle was the longest serving professor at MIT. That means I have much better blood. But I went to the hardest college of all to get into, the Wharton school of finance, that means I'm real smart. pic.twitter.com/kYIWksn5Up
BREAKING: Trump, (In a Kermit The Frog voice) tells a crowd in Hebron, Kentucky how great our military is doing, before bragging about bringing energy prices down.
Note that as I write this:
– Gas prices are 45 CENTS HIGHER than when Biden left office – Electricity prices are… pic.twitter.com/lqt38FHOnq

Trump: “We took out all of their mine ships in one night. The Strait of Hormuz is open.”
The facts as of right now:
Iran struck a Thai civilian vessel attempting to transit the Strait this afternoon.
Lloyd’s of London has not restored war risk insurance for Gulf shipping.
No major shipping company has resumed transits.
Marine Traffic shows vessels at anchor, not moving.
Iran’s foreign policy advisor said this morning: we decide when it ends.
Trump said the Iranian navy was destroyed. We kept finding ships to bomb.
Trump said ships were safely transiting. The Energy Secretary deleted the tweet. Karoline Leavitt corrected the record.
They are going back to South Africa — the US is too violent for them.
The Trump administration’s crusade to “save” white South Africans from supposed persecution is backfiring. Instead of embracing his invitation to America, growing numbers of those same expatriates are buying one-way tickets home—disillusioned by the violence, fear, and brutality in Trump’s United States.
Andrew Veitch, who left South Africa for California two decades ago after being carjacked, told Reuters he no longer feels safe in Trump’s America. “People are being shot in broad daylight. American citizens are being shot and killed,” said the 53-year-old.
He plans to return to South Africa this year, joining a wave of repatriations driven by disillusionment with the country that once promised security. “I don’t want to live in a place like this,” Veitch told the outlet.
Trump’s officials have defended Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who killed two U.S. citizens in January, claiming self-defense—though video evidence disputes that. South Africa, which Trump once accused of persecuting whites, now finds itself welcoming thousands back. South Africa’s government says there is “no evidence” of racial discrimination against whites, and newly relaxed laws have prompted an online rush: 12,000 expatriates have checked their eligibility to reclaim citizenship since November.
The dumbass did pullups without warming up, tore his rotator cuff, arm will be in a sling for months. Who will do the surgery — an orthopedic surgeon or an herbalist or may Erika Kirk.
Three points I have gleaned from the bullshit coming out of the White House and the Pentagon.
First: There are far more American wounded casualties than the 140 DoD has admitted to. The number could be as high as 150. Of course if they are lying about wounded, they are almost certainly lying about killed as well. They are lying to us again as usual. No surprise there.
Second: Trump’s flunky son-in-law negotiator Kushner approached the Iranians about some sort cease fire or deescalation. They told him no (or maybe HELL NO). Why would they agree? They are winning militarily and psychologically. This will end on their terms, not Trump’s. This will become the greatest humiliation ever to befall any American President.
Three: The Iranians have announced that they are going to focus their retaliation entirely on Israel. I think for the most part Israeli air defenses have been depleted. The Israelis are doing their best to cover it up, but it looks like Iranian missiles and drones are hitting Tel Aviv and the rest of the country at will. The Israeli people aren’t stupid. They do know that Bibi is responsible for this fiasco. I would guess his and his governments days in office are numbered. Unless he makes a run for it he will be in a jail cell soon.
Trump will have to do one of two things. He will have to (1) unilaterally back down or (2) go full scorched earth on the Iranians. If he ops for alternative two, the Iranians will go full scorched earth on the entire middle east. They could essentially shut down oil production for a very extended period of time. The implications for the world economy would be nothing less than a major disaster. We are talking about a world wide super depression. We, U.S.A., will pay an extremely heavy price for electing a lunatic President.
A basic distinction in the world of medical diagnosis is between subclinical and clinical versions of a disease. The concept of a disease being in a subclinical state doesn’t really have a rigorous formal definition: it’s more of an informal judgment that the disease’s symptoms aren’t yet obvious enough to produce a formal clinical diagnosis. But naturally what will count as “obvious enough” will in turn be highly context dependent. Someone whose condition is being monitored closely by their loved or at least liked ones, and is getting regular medical examinations, is going to be formally diagnosed earlier in the course of the disease than someone who isn’t getting as much attention from family and/or medical personnel.
This is particularly true of the various forms of dementia, since these tend to have slow-developing histories that can leave a person in the subclinical stage of the disease for many years, before a formal clinical diagnosis is finally made. Which brings us to this:
Recently Trump has made it increasingly obvious that he’s confusing political asylum with insane asylums:
But the one thing that I can’t do anything about is that he allowed 25 million people, many of these murderers, drug lords, criminals, people from mental institutions — they emptied their mental institutions, Tom, is that right, all over the world, not just in South America. . . .how could you have an open border, all the countries are going to be dropping their prisoners into us, and that’s exactly what happened, and mental patients and others.
Many other examples of obvious cognitive confusion/incoherence are becoming available on a practically daily basis now.
Trump has always been a liar, a bullshitter, and an all-around moron, but the signs are increasing that he may have what I’m going to call “politically subclinical dementia.” This is a form of dementia that has gotten frank enough in its symptoms that it would be clinically diagnosed but for the presence of strictly political factors, rather than as a consequence of familial denial or indifference, and the related lack of medical attention that results from those sorts of characteristically personal factors. In this case, needless to say, the political is the personal, as everyone in this country is now stuck in a relationship with a increasingly demented abuser. Of course a lot of the family are in some sort of co-dependent relationship, or are just trying to steal the inheritance.
As for the rest of us, we’re trying to figure out how to take away the car keys, except in this case the car keys are the nuclear launch codes carried around in the football.
