Photographic proof!

As you can plainly see, God spared his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, while causing only a small wound on his ear, like a stigmata of the ear, because God so dearly loved him that He deflected a deadly bullet and gave an innocent member of the audience, seated behind the president, a quick pass to heaven, so that His imperfect vessel could be miraculously spared and go on to be reelected as the most righteous president, the most righteous leader of any country, in human history. Amen.

Meanwhile, vicious critics continue to attack him, without mercy, seemingly every second.  Thankfully, he can defend himself, including against those who brutally gouged a 250 foot long gash at the bottom of the beautiful reflecting pool in DC to destroy his donor’s perfect work restoring the historic pool to its pristine 1922 beauty:

Friday night, Trump blamed “Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats [sic], who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country,” for “some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool.” By this evening, he was blaming “multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Poll [sic]. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair.” Source

Who is David Gentile? What a surprise:

David Gentile (* 1966) ist ein US-amerikanischer Unternehmer und Gründer sowie ehemaliger CEO von GPB Capital Holdings, einer Private-Equity-Gesellschaft mit Sitz in New York, die 2013 gegründet wurde.

The NY Times reports:

The investigation, which has not been previously reported, had begun examining whether improper payments were made to help facilitate the commutation awarded to David Gentile, a private equity executive who was convicted in a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of mostly mom-and-pop investors, some of whom lost their retirement savings.

The clemency grant freed Mr. Gentile last November less than two weeks into a seven-year prison sentence, and wiped away the possibility of forfeiting more than $15.5 million to the government.

Within a few months, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, where Mr. Gentile’s conviction had been secured, opened an investigation into how the commutation came about.

Among the evidence they gathered was information about jailhouse communications in which Mr. Gentile discussed making payments of $2.5 million or more to people or companies to help facilitate his clemency, according to two people with knowledge of the investigation who were not authorized to discuss it.

One of the people who came under scrutiny by investigators was the Rev. Frank Mann, a retired Catholic priest from Queens who is friends with Mr. Trump. In an email sent to The New York Times, Father Mann denied having anything to do with the clemency. But people with knowledge of the prison communications say that the priest corresponded with Mr. Gentile about lobbying the president on his behalf. . .

. . . Mr. Trump’s unorthodox approach to clemency has spawned a seamy cottage industry in which lawyers, lobbyists and others with ties to the president have collected millions of dollars from pardon seekers who would not necessarily qualify for second chances under the Justice Department’s criteria for identifying and vetting worthy recipients.

One lobbyist was charged in March by Mr. Nocella’s office for attempting to violently extort $500,000 from a client who received a pardon from Mr. Trump last year. source

quick, somebody get a retired Catholic priest!

Nazi justice

Psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton, in The Nazi Doctors, pointed out that doctors were the first professional group in Germany to fully Nazify. German doctors did this voluntarily, assertively, as soon as Hitler was in power. No Jews, all doctors with “Jewish blood” out, every German doctor had to a loyal member of the Nazi party to practice medicine in Germany.

Not surprising to me that doctors were the first, especially in light of some of the arrogant, contemptuous, corporate medical experts I’ve seen in the last few years, including one actual psychopath. See also the complicity of the American Psychiatric Association in suppressing the findings of dozens of psychiatrists, including Lifton, in regard to the dangerous instability of Donald J. Trump during his first term. It’s not my point here to bash doctors, although many highly admired doctors are self-involved schmucks and the opposite of healers.

I would guess, without any evidence at the moment (just like the Trump legal eagles in their false charging affidavits), that German lawyers were the second German profession to fully Nazify themselves. Public distaste for lawyers needs no elaboration, but there is a special breed that embraces fascists in a democracy.

The legal and medical professions are full of ambitious, competitive, self-aggrandizing people (as well as many people of fine character and the best motives). Put a Nazi regime in charge of their careers and many (the worst of them), once the Nazi has solidified power and control, will become more fervent Nazis than the Leader himself. This is observable throughout history.

It is plainly observable with Trump’s craven, lying criminal defense team at the Department of Justice. Their bottom shelf lawyers (many of the best at DOJ have quit or been fired for things like taking their ethical duties seriously, or doing their jobs on a nonpartisan basis) torment and prosecute the enemies of their enraged, paranoid master. They do this at the whim of a man who is awake ranting on social media nonstop throughout the night, and sleeps through meetings and even the staged $60,000,000 gladiatorial event the 80 year-old birthday boy threw for himself on the south law of the White House. That Mr. Trump is insane is also easily observable (sorry, American Psychiatric Association).

The coverup of crimes, which indicates a consciousness of guilt that is admissible against defendants in criminal prosecutions, is often worse than the crimes being hidden. In Trump’s case, both are heinous. He also has an unbroken lifelong pattern and practice of committing crimes and covering them up. Hence the “settlement” of his fraudulent case against his own IRS, an attempt to make sure any of his likely frauds against the IRS (and the American taxpayers) remain unpunished, in perpetuity.

A group of the president’s sycophants met in panicked secret meetings to strategize how to protect the Orange Polyp (and, more importantly, their own careers) from what is revealed about his behavior in the 6,000,000 documents of the Epstein files. Against the advice of anyone who knew anything about the strategic use of military force, Trump attacked Iran, based on lies and in support of a fellow autocrat, Bibi Netanyahu, a plague on the world in his own right. The mass murder Trump unleashed was a crime against humanity. The “memorandum of understanding” his expert real estate baron negotiators hammered out with Iran appears to be unconditional surrender to Iran. For starters, it gives Iran exponentially more billions, and more future power, than the JCPOA, Obama’s hated deal did. So, why not keep it secret? It is a great triumph, that Trump so quickly forced Iran to its knees!

The worst part of all this, to me, is the violent, hate-inspiring lies. Nazism, like all fascist movements, is founded on lies and depends on people believing those lies. White Supremacy? Trump rips up a deal painstakingly negotiated by skilled diplomats and scientists because it was signed under a Black president. One of Obama’s parents was “white”, of course, which I mention because only in a racist society does this need to be said (he said, triggering racists who believe only whites can be persecuted).

Trump ripping up Obama’s JCPOA is white supremacy in a nutshell. Rip up the Black guy’s carefully considered plan, hammered out by experts over the course of several years (and cosigned by Russia, China, the EU and other nations), because the president at the time was a fucking “n-word,” as the KKK will always insist. Send two completely unqualified real-estate billionaires to quickly cover up your failed mass bombing of Iran after shredding the deal, claim victory and unconditional surrender — while not revealing the terms of the memorandum of understanding. An enraged white supremacist, without any need for thought beforehand, reflexively joins his fellow white supremacist in illegally mass murdering the innocent brown people whose repressive government signed the deal with the Black guy. Maybe the worst part, beyond even the lying, is the vicious, heedless, proud stupidity of these race-obsessed fascists.

Trump’s government lawyers (leaving aside their oath to support the Constitution and protect the rights of citizens, not “the boss”), like all lawyers, are considered officers of the court. As officers of the court hey are bound by oath to tell the truth, to not resort to scumbag tactics, not to bring frivolous charges without evidence against people the boss instructs them to investigate and prosecute, not to lie to grand juries, or redact their lies when a judge forces them to turn over grand jury transcripts (unheard of with any previous administration). The Department of Justice was always given the “presumption of regularity” from federal judges. Judges took the DOJ at its word in all previous administrations. In the administration of the Lyin’ King — there is no longer the presumption that the poisonous toads King Turd sends to court to torture his enemies are telling the truth. Latest case in point:

Today U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced his office was charging fifteen people with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers over their behavior during the federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis last year that led to the deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Rosen alleges that the defendants are part of two “antifa” groups that “violently oppose immigration law enforcement.”

At the press conference about the charges, prosecutors introduced a Facebook post from one of the accused that said: “We need to become ungovernable.” Journalist Aaron Rupar noted: “Oh, so they have NOTHING nothing.” It’s actually even more embarrassing than that: Trump attended the Libertarian National Convention in 2024 when its theme was “Become Ungovernable,” and stood in front of the banner bearing that slogan, so the idea that the phrase is part of a criminal conspiracy will be awkward to argue.

From Minneapolis, Matt Sepic of MPR News reported that Rosen said the people were “charged not for what they said but what they did.” But Rosen did not answer questions about whether any law enforcement officers were injured and said evidence would come out later. Sepic notes that federal prosecutors charged thirty-six people with assaulting or impeding immigration agents in December and January, but have now dropped eighteen of the cases entirely and eleven more through nonprosecution agreements. Sepic notes that Magistrate Judge David Schultz in April called one of the prosecutors’ charging documents a “false affidavit.” source

Obedience to a constantly raging, racist idiot is abhorrent to decency, democracy and the rule of law. Of course, there will always be lawyers (think fucking Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, Pam Bondi) who will do the bidding of the man in power — no matter how immoral, illegal or otherwise repugnant. Among German lawyers under Mr. Hitler the principle was Führerworte haben Gesetzeskraft –– the Leader’s every fart has the force of law. This is most horrible when the Leader is an insanely enraged and prodigiously flatulent motherfucker.

When you work for a compulsive liar

Understand, first of all, why people lie.  If the truth is embarrassing, especially if it’s humiliating, someone with a propensity to lie will always lie.  If confronted about the lie, they will lie again, make you the liar for accusing them of lying. 

This hideous, maddening cycle will be familiar to anyone who has ever been close to, or worked for, someone who can never be wrong no matter what.  If you can’t be wrong, and the facts clearly show you are, then the facts are fucking liars and so are you for bringing up those lies.

Trump is perhaps the most prolific compulsive liar in American history. He’s up there with the all-time heavyweight liars of world history. He may be number one (though, it is said, he smells like number two). If he gets his ass kicked in an election, obviously, the election was rigged, he was cheated out of a victory he actually won by a landslide, was the victim of a massive bipartisan fraud, and when you are the victim of fraud, as he told his enraged crowd on January 6th (a day of love, obviously), you get to play by very different rules. You fight like hell to make your truth the real truth and violence is totally justified because the liars who cheated you won by being scumbags who viciously rigged everything against you and deserve whatever they get, including death.

Picture working for a vengeful, childish asshole like this guy.  Lying is a condition of employment.  You can’t tell the truth.  If you do, the boss will fly into a rage.  When asked if Biden won the 2020 election you deliver the company line “well, he was sworn in as president on January 20, 2021…”.  When pressed on whether Biden won you must not give an inch, must continue this line of idiotic equivocation.  If you say “yes, senator, Biden won…” then you are out of a job, out of the party, out of the cult, out of business, kaput.  Plus, you face an excellent chance of death threats on your phone day and night.  Everybody who works for Trump knows this.  

Still, sometimes there are slip ups, like this, from a recent convert to MAGA spokesman for those furious that Obama “gave” Iran $1.6B in the JCPOA deal where Iran agreed not to develop nuclear weapons.

Trump is trying to cover over the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets [in his birthday Memo of Understanding — not a final agreement] by saying “no money will exchange hands.” But this morning, Vice President J.D. Vance told CBS that in addition to that $24 billion, Iran will also have access to $300 billion in funds for reconstruction. source

Oopsie.  Et tu, CBS?

Liars lie, that’s not news.  I guess the news is that the central characters of Trump’s inner circle appear to have been captured on tape, discussing various illegal ways to allow the president to do whatever pops into his insane head.  If Stephen Miller, our foremost, infernally powerful, Jewish Nazi, orders 3,000 brown immigrants captured, detained and deported daily, and the boss loves the idea, then… fuck it, suspend habeas corpus (the right to a hearing to contest your confinement)… change administrative rules to make a loophole to avoid giving habeas corpus rights to those illegally detained, invoke the Insurrection Act… kill more “paid protesters” like Renee Good and Alex Pretti… 

The squealing among Trump’s inner circle about the New York Times report on secret meetings in the Situation Room (without the president present) that someone tapped into our nation’s most secure SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) is an unintentional admission, as Lawrence McDonnell points out, that the reporting is super accurate.  NY Times reporters Haberman and Swan couldn’t have transcribed all those verbatim quotes without a recording. 

More lies are now needed to cover the lying lies that some liar recorded and made them lie in their own voices on a tape that doesn’t exist, like Epstein, who never actually existed, never knew the president, never shared any “wonderful secrets” with him — and the president certainly wasn’t rough with fourteen year-olds’ nipples, where did those stupid, lying quotes come from and, more to the point,  who was the traitorous leaker? — the boss was always a gentle lover who always had consent from every woman and girl he ever touched — no, wait, he never touched anybody! Epstein and those little bitches are all LIARS!!!

Trump is not playing five dimensional chess, he doesn’t even know what a game is. Point out that he just took a crap in his pants and he will angrily scream: “NO! YOOOO took a crap in my pants!!!!” I know you are, but what am I? Another win for the Winner-in-Chief.

Early this morning, Trump posted on social media: “On July 4th, at The Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, in beautiful and safe Washington D.C., we are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.’” source

Be there, fans, will be wild! There should be, literally, hundreds there, mad as hell and ready to rumble.  You go, Mr. President, sir!

Hermann Göring-level contempt

Now it’s no longer taboo, in light of mountains of evidence in support of the comparison, to refer to Todd Blanche, Stephen Miller, Lyin’ Ted, MAGA Mike, Hegseth, Lutnick, Bessent, RFK Jr,. Elon Musk, Jared Kushner, Trump and his accursed spawn, as Nazis.  Nazis will be Nazis, and they always act the same way — indomitable and contemptuous of so-called decency (Hitler called conscience a “Jewish invention”).  The contempt Trump and his best people proudly show for law and the ideals our country was founded on was not exceeded by the most infamously contemptuous of the Nazis.  Think Hermann Göring.  They have all demonstrated that they will follow any insane order from their mad leader, justify protecting a network of pedophiles, a nationwide chain of concentration camps, every voter suppression effort imaginable and the cold blooded murder of American citizens in their cars, on the street.

It’s not even a news story, apparently, when these floundering fascists (in this case Trump, Blanche and Trump’s children) openly defy a federal judge’s order to produce their argument for why their fake “settlement” of a non-case, for their sole, corrupt benefit, was not a fraud on the court. June 12 was the deadline for Trump and Blanche to defend their corrupt, bogus, self-dealing “settlements”. I was very much looking forward to reading their stuttering, incoherent arguments. No argument was submitted at the deadline.

[Correction, there was a submission, not responsive to any of the judge’s three major questions Trump/DOJ were required to answer, though it was submitted late on June 12 (after closing time, apparently). I learned this from Michael Popok on the Meidas Touch network. Bloomberg alone seems to have reported on Trump’s denial of fraud and his attack dog lawyer Alejandro Brito’s attack on the judge, as well as the 35 retired federal judge’s who intervened to remind the judge she still had jurisdiction over the “case”. I haven’t been able to find a copy of this legal masterpiece on-line.]

The Trump DOJ essentially in contempt of a federal court order produced crickets from mass media. No real update on the story since Trump and his DOJ followed federal appellate judge Emil Bove’s advice (from before his lifetime confirmation, when he was number 3 at DOJ) and told a federal judge to go fuck herself. AI had this to say (incorrectly, as it turned out, apparently they filed it late on June 12th)

Absolutely nobody but Michael Popok at Meidas Touch is reporting on this, as though this eye-poppingly criminal conspiracy to defraud the court to further enrich the historically corrupt Mr. Trump is not a subject of even minor public interest.

Of course, in fairness to everybody — there were so many other stories demanding attention in the realm of Trumpish impostures. News broke about a panicked damage control meeting in the Situation Room (secretly, and illegally, recorded by someone there) to strategize about how to protect Trump for accountability for the many wonderful secrets he shared with his best friend, suspiciously suicided incarnation of evil Jeffery Epstein. The demented birthday boy yesterday used the Lincoln Memorial, which his gigantic Arc de Trump will dwarf and obscure the view of from Arlington National Cemetery, as a backdrop for his glorious gladiator fight in a $60,000,000 (including $700,000 to restore the damage to the lawn) cage built on the south lawn of the White House to celebrate his birthday. He gave UFC fighters the honor guard pomp usually reserved for foreign dignitaries and the funerals of top military commanders.

Workers took his name off The Kennedy Center, as ordered, with Trump kicking and screaming, incoherently litigating and in the end demanding an extra 12 hours to do it, but a huge curtain remains in place so nobody can photograph the absence of the insane orange two year-old’s name. He promised, again, that a big birthday deal with Iran is being signed, He bombed Iran, a nation he bombed with no legal justification and has continually branded the aggressor, in coordination with his friend Netanyahu, who he now describes as a difficult man. Meanwhile, the troubling theocrats in Iran continue to be much more credible on the subject of “peace talks” than the Orange Polyp and his chorus of performative liars.

Trump and his lackies are spraying the firehose of mendacity, with the insane Tulsi Gabbard, friend of Assad and Putin, suddenly chiming in about US biolabs in 30 countries, including Ukraine, that Fauci is somehow responsible for. Trump is madly posting gibberish every moment he’s awake, even as he continually falls asleep in public and appears to be dying — though 22 doctors recently signed off on his bill of perfect health. He has the heart of a 65 year-old, we are to believe.

His MAGA suck-ups in Congress also snuck through, at 4 a.m., another 70 BILLION dollars for his masked shock troops who will not be required to abide by the US Constitution. ICE will continue to wear masks, break car windows, illegally enter homes, schools, courts and churches without judicial warrants, indefinitely detain people who have committed no crime, keep them in abusive privately owned concentration camps kept secret from the public, even murder American citizens on video, when necessary and proper.

So, I suppose we can forgive the press (and thank Bloomberg and Meidas Touch) for not taking a single note of his missed June 12 deadline for Trump to explain to the court why he should not be punished for filing a fake lawsuit against an agency he controls, and giving himself and his accursed children (and all of their associates) a preemptive pardon for all past frauds on the IRS/US Treasury in a “settlement” worth probably hundreds of millions for a long history of tax chicanery. All I can say is “USA! USA!!!” Trump looks more fucked every day.

The ear, and other Trumpish frauds

As we wait for Trump’s former criminal lawyer to explain, under oath to a federal judge in Florida, why Trump’s suit as a private citizen, against an executive branch agency he controls, was not conspiracy to commit a fraud on the court, I am reminded of a couple of Trump’s other “under the radar” frauds. This one in Florida is a huge one: $1,776,000,000 fund to pay rioters and klansmen and part two — retroactive immunity for Trump, family and all associates for any IRS audits. Today is the deadline for Blanche to put in writing how this “settlement” wasn’t a fraud on the court — and the American people. Now on to two low-flying, but stinking, Trumpish frauds nobody has done anything about.

I know it seems impossible that an American president would lie about an assassination attempt on himself, perhaps even set it up himself, but that pre-convention shots fired at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally has always had a very bad smell.   It did to me at the time, immediately.  The suspicious timing of it, itself, was highly suspicious, as was every other detail.  Of course, Trump exploited his enraged rhetorical ecosystem to ensure his fake enemies would be too cowed to publicly question, let alone denounce, the stunt that left his bullet scarred ear intact.  To suggest that a man, even Donald Trump, would stage a deadly shooting seemed indecorous and disgusting — we all condemn gun violence and have a cultural instinct to support the victims who survive it.  Trump has won many rounds of the propaganda war this way, preemptively accusing his enemies of things he’s planning, conspiring to do, carrying out secretly while crowing about the transparency of his criminal regime.

Have you looked at the ear that was sliced (or smeared with fake wrestling blood behind the podium when Secret Service took him to the ground) when God stretched out His mighty arm to spare His chosen presidential candidate by a fraction of an inch and merely kill one of the faceless supporters seated behind him?   The killing of that Trump supporter (I wonder if the dead man’s family got a fraction of what rioter Ashley Babbitt’s mom and Mike “Lock ME UP!!” Flynn got) was needed to prove deadly fire, rather than staged fake deadly theatrics, and the man’s death established the deadliness of the shots fired, without a doubt. 

Them was deadly bullets that whizzed by POTUS 45 — without touching him, of course, because God protects Christ’s representative on earth (millions of the faithful actually believe this shit with unalterable faith).  Then the young assassin, known to be a poor marksman, seconds after he fired the deadly shot, was shot multiple times in the head, blowing his head completely off his body, and shortly thereafter, cremated.  No medical records on the “near fatal” shooting of the former (and sickeningly future) president.  No investigation, nothing thing to see here.  Only respect and sympathy from his high minded opponents for a man “almost killed”.   Check out his fucking ear.

The same goes for Trump Magic Ear’s miraculous, God-delivered victory in all seven swing states in 2024. For a candidate who didn’t win 50% of the vote to take all seven swing states, by virtually identical margins just above the margin that triggers an automatic recount, would take a miracle — or some kind of high tech manipulation of electronic voting data. He won a few swing states where he was the only Republican on the ballot to win anything. The state elected all Democrats, and still, Trump, by a margin that triggered ! If that isn’t proof of God’s will, I don’t know what is.

The problem in the fight between decent people and indecent ones is that cheating psychopaths have a huge public perception advantage. You can’t question a fake assassination, or a highly suspicious rigged election, without looking like the very psychopath you oppose, somehow. I don’t really get it at this point, when the man who told 30,000 documented lies during his first administration now hits that total every week, but there it is, somehow.

You don’t fight bullies by becoming like them, you fight them by standing up, looking them in the eye, calling them out for the violent cowards they are.  The bully’s terror is being unable to get people to fear him.   I understand the fear of a powerful bully with an army of heavily armed goons and a goon squad of debased, unethical lawyers and other enablers.  I get the reluctance of good people to be subjected to the hideous reprisals, including lawsuits designed to target you as an enemy and bankrupt you.  Having these petty, illegal, occasionally murderous, acts done in his name delights someone like Trump.  He can dish them out in massive portions, with no fear for himself since lackeys are always in the line of fire, physically and metaphorically, and the only bullets that will ever come near him are the ones he himself arranges in his pro-wrestling fake “Reality TV” presidency.

Another recent shot of the ear, and America’s incredibly weak “strong man”:

In the words of the great George Lopez — fuck that puto.

Sports in a corporate culture

Trump sat behind bulletproof glass at Madison Square Garden with his fellow self-made son of a billionaire James Dolan. The cheapest seat in the building, outside of the suite of free luxury box seats provided to Trump, Lutnick and co., was the $1,500 standing room ticket NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani bought for himself. The average ticket price was over $10,000, maybe over $20,000 — VIP courtside seats were over $50,000 each.

The NBA championship brings in obscenely HUGE dollars for the owners and their corporate alter-egos. The NBA commissioner himself welcomed Trump’s visit that closed down ten square blocks around MSG, imposed TSA restrictions on the fans wealthy enough to attend the game and created even more traffic pressure and chaos in the already choked center of downtown (not to mention the loss of a ton of money for local businesses). Here’s NBA commish Adam Silver, from a blandly apolitical take on ESPN (owned by Dolan?):

Though Trump and high-profile basketball stars such as LeBron James have exchanged social media barbs over the years, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the president was a “genuine Knicks fan” who was “welcome” at the most-anticipated NBA game in New York since the Knicks’ last Finals appearance in 1999.

“What makes sports so special, especially when there’s so much that divides people, is that it’s something we have in common,” Silver told ESPN’s “Inside the NBA” during a pregame interview. “We should look for those things we have in common and build off that.” source

Inspiring words from this handsome corporate rascal:

Son of a billionaire invites another son of a billionaire to shit on New York

Self-made billionaire genius James Dolan, whose billionaire father, Charles, bought him the NY Knicks [1] and made him the head of his business empire (think young Donald and his dad, Fred) invited Donald J. Trump to be his guest in a luxury box in Madison Square Garden to watch game three (and maybe four) of the Knicks-Spurs championship series. The Knicks are chasing history, in position to tie the longest postseason winning streak on the way to winning a championship for the first time since 1973. The Knicks franchise has been handicapped by the idiotic and impulsive Dolan’s epic failures and tantrums over the last thirty years or so.

Security for game three at Madison Square Garden will be a nightmare for Knicks fans tomorrow night (paying fans — tickets for the cheapest seats are $9,000 — are already being rapaciously gouged by Dolan, of course [2]). Those with tickets to see the game are advised to arrive at least two hours early and carry nothing with them. A throng of joyous New Yorkers won’t get to watch the game live on a giant screen outside the Garden on Seventh Avenue where thousands have assembled for each of the first two games — out of security concerns for Trump and his entourage. New Yorkers have been celebrating, as their team has been dominant in the postseason and a championship is in reach for the first time in more than half a century.

The smart, selfless play of this well-balanced, indomitable Knicks team, their collective cool under fire, is a living illustration of the power of teamwork and trust in your abilities as a group, has brought great joy to New York City during very ugly times for our country. This team embodies the best in us, smart, calm, skillful, each doing their part to help their teammates and advance their mutual goals.

Dolan and Trump are built differently, being both born very stable hereditary geniuses who rule their kingdoms with a mighty, supremely entitled, hand. They don’t believe in community, teamwork, the common good, sound advice or anything else. They believe only in their own abusive quest for glory and immortality. It is natural that the hated son of billionaire Charles Dolan would inflict something as disgusting as Trump on New York City at this exciting moment for New Yorkers. No joy is too small for a billionaire egomaniac to shit on by publicly licking the ass of another billionaire egomaniac. Dolan cut to the front of the line of those billionaires ready to pleasure the demented president. Whatever happened to “fuck you” money if you can’t ever have enough not to line up to blow an insane autocrat in hopes of a few million more bucks?

Trump, who will be greeted with thunderous boos from the crowd he is fucking by his attendance, is always delighted for the chance to slip his puckered mushroom into a willing, wealthy receptacle. He’s indicated that he’s tickled by Dolan’s invite and intends to go to game three of the NBA championship, and maybe game four as well.

Leave it up to fucking James Dolan, hated by Knicks fans for his decades of disastrously stupid decisions sabotaging the Knicks and betraying their fans. A series of impulsive, boneheaded decisions, temper tantrums, idiotic hirings and firings, all based on billionaire James Dolan’s belief that he was born for greatness, his wealth is proof of his genius, and that his excrement is delicious. You can look this piece of garbage up on the internet for the details of what a supreme asshole he is in his personal and professional life. Here’s a word about how much this despicable blowhard is hated by Knicks fans:

Knicks fans have called for Dolan to sell the team, and Dolan banned one fan from attending games for imploring him to sell the team.

He has also used facial recognition to prevent those involved in litigation against him or his companies from attending events at venues he runs.

ESPN reported in November [2023] that Dolan resigned from the NBA’s finance and media committees, saying in a memo, “Given all that has occurred lately, I have come to the conclusion that the NBA neither needs nor wants my opinion.” source

So, naturally, Dolan saddles up in his private bomber, tanks filled with excrement, and, at the perfect moment, unleashes a tide of liquid shit on Knicks fans, on all of New York, because that’s what self-made billionaire geniuses always do, don’t they? Somebody give this asshole a chainsaw to swing over his head at the celebration of his glorious Knick championship. I wonder if they already have the next Trump “assassin” in place at the Garden to make this community-bonding moment during game three about who it is really about — two fly-encrusted turds, born to rule.

The despised Dolan invites America’s Hitler (according to JD Vance, before his temporary, transactional conversion to MAGA) as the living repudiation of what sports fans all over the country are watching. This Knicks team represents camaraderie, teamwork, calm under pressure, nobody trying to be The Man, trust in teammates, a sense of balance, getting timely, important contributions from all. What do Trump and Dolan represent? Spoiled, disgustingly wealthy (based on their inheritances) brittle, “self-made” “rugged individuals” who rule by sheer will, impervious to good advice and blaming everyone else for the predictable results of their stupid decisions. These are two of the most thin-skinned, incompetent jackasses ever to disgrace their respective positions.

Dolan’s grotesque invitation makes perfect sense in the morality play we are all doing our best to survive. Dolan and Trump certainly deserve each other, but New York and the world don’t.

Hannah Arendt speaking to this moment

Nothing is more dangerous to nature and humanity than an inability to think.    This inability to think is deliberately, mindfully fostered by those who make the most money, and seize great power, when  people can’t think.  Without critical thinking it is impossible to choose well between complex alternatives, to accurately identify problems in the first place, to protect ourselves from predators. 

A populace that can’t think is ideal for manipulation, many of them will be ready to tolerate or commit atrocities for an incoherent “cause”.  The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, as Francisco Goya the painter observed.   Here’s Hannah Arendt, who clearly identified this central villain of human history, from a few generations ago.  

American children raised watching TV, and devices, see more than 10,000 hours of advertising, tailored to their baby minds, before they learn to read. Today attention spans are shattered, brains and social interactions rewired, by constant smartphone notifications from people trying to sell something, push some idea, inoculate the “user” against critical thinking by amplifying their own prejudices and likes and silencing opposing ideas. The algorithms that cater to our personalized prejudices are making a small number of neuroatypical men unlimited billions of dollars as they emotionally and intellectually immiserate billions of vulnerable human beings.

We are at the “mercy” of psychopaths at the moment. Only we, by acting together and thinking as critical problem solvers, can stop these merciless, insane bastards who would have everything. They will own everything even if it takes destroying the earth itself, the biosphere, all the animals and all but a handful of specially selected humans who will live on militarized luxury islands, in outer space or in well-furnished spas deep under the ground. Fuck those putos.
