I was thinking that I should title this latest edition of rambling, quelle est prochaine etape, in recognition of my fellow Canadiens, but I decided on Spanish in deference to the unofficial second language of the Sort Of United States.
It doesn’t really matter what language I chose though, because the question remains the same regardless of vernacular. In fact I’m going to hazard a guess that What’s Next America is being asked in every dialect from Abkhaz to Zulu. This assumption of planetary puzzlement is fair I think, because it’s apparent that Trump derangement syndrome is as real as a Texas measles outbreak. The puzzlement part of things comes from the fact that chaotic derangement is a choice that Americans made and not a series of unfortunate occurrences of misfortune. America willfully chose this man and this path. However, the symptoms of the syndrome are the exact opposite of how MAGA see’s the situation, and the actual derangement is evident in every person who stays near the superspreader in chief for any prolonged length of time.
The list of symptoms isn’t all that extensive, but the adjective pathological is a suitable stable mate for all of those symptoms from projection to prevaricating. The first term of Don saw his staff include people that were in possession of anti-bodies to resist the derangement, but this time around the selection process was able to recruit the immunocompromised exclusively, and so the transition from mildly fucked up staff to completely deranged staff wasn’t much of a transition at all.
So, basically everyone near Mr. Trump is unhinged, and that makes the what’s next America question difficult if not impossible to answer. There are many possibilities, but I think that in order to narrow the list to probabilities that it’s best to ask a couple of simple questions. Question number one: Is the next possibility cruel and unusual? Question number two: Is the next possibility going to enrich Don Deranjo?
If the answer is yes to one or both of those questions then the possible moves into the realm of probable. I should clarify that my definition of unusual includes stupid even though it seems that stupid isn’t really all that unusual.
Cruel and unusual is actually a pretty effective tool to use in the pursuit of the real endgame which is selective enrichment. Essentially the end game is a perpetual state of chaos to intimidate and confuse the regular folk. Then under cover of confusion and fear, you and your posse go and steal all the nice stuff from the Jews. Or the Mexicans. Or in this case from other Americans.
So it looks like America has chosen their version of the art of the deal. The deal in this instance being a trade. The president and his henchmen and women give you someone to hate, and in return you give them the ability to dispense with those inefficient democratic ideas like due process and the rule of equal law. Plus Medicaid, but that doesn’t get the same press as Tariffs and immigrants. I suppose it’s tough to convince all Americans that Medicaid recipients are ripping off America like Canada and China, so doing away with healthcare is the quiet part of the deal.
I can’t even to begin to speculate on what’s next as far as the fuck you corruption goes. It’s pretty brazen at the moment, and once the threshold of not giving a fuck if anyone’s watching is reached, then I’m guessing that there is no despicable act that isn’t worthy of consideration.
For example.
I can’t grasp the enormity of the balls to accept a palatial jet and have Eric the unread coincidentally arrive in the same countries where Dad is headed. And speaking of coincidences, all three of these middle east countries harbor Trump business ventures. I guess Eric was pissed at how well Jared got along with certain Emirs and crown princes, and so it was his turn to roll around in the sandy oil money. It makes a fella wonder what Donny Jr. is up to.
In order to maintain this level of in your face corruption, it’s a good idea to have some cruel and unusual distractions. Red meat as it’s called. The best red meat is cruel and unusual,, and after awhile I think it gets harder to find cruel and unusual things to do. All the easy to do stuff has already been done, and all that’s left is harder stuff. So MAGA has to get inventive so those executive distraction orders keep rolling along.
I wonder sometimes if Don actually knows what he’s doing with his staff. He knew he needed distractions and so he chose a group of people that were bound to cause chaos and outrage. Then he could sign a box full of executive orders and the courts would be full and fully distracted. Then when one of the invariable fuck ups landed at Don’s feet he has a simple response. Deny they did anything wrong, but point out he actually wasn’t there. Refuse to fire them because they didn’t do anything wrong. Then you refuse to answer a question and aggressively attack the fake news reporter that asked. Finally you blame Biden and maybe rant a bit about sanctuary cities.
Then for some strange reason America kind of shrugs and waits for the next distraction. So you’ve got to keep them coming. The news cycle is waiting and you don’t want them to think or investigate. You want them to react and talk about your new golden jet, so no one is talking about tariffs and a trillion dollar tax cut for billionaires.
Makes me wonder what the atmosphere would be like if all the Trump cabinet and a few Foxholes, senators, congresswomen, governors and bloggers fly into one of Don’s resorts for a couple of days of cruel and unusual brainstorming. I think that whoever is chairing the event has excellent odds on coming away with a list of possibilities. The only real problem the chair faces is getting cruel and unusual suggestions without actually using the words cruel and unusual. He or she has a simple solution though. Just ask this special group of Americans what they want to do to make America great again.
That should get the suggestion box filled.
I suppose the conference would start with a prayer, which in my view means that American Jesus is a construct of the imagination, or at best he’s indifferent to all of the ideals espoused in his autobiography. Either way it’s unlikely that the conference room will get hit by lightning, and considering that Steven Miller would be there, a person of any legitimate faith should wonder where the hell that lightning is. But I don’t think anyone in attendance is opining over lightning strikes, because their faith is as phony as whatever the fuck the barbie press secretary is lying about at any particular moment.
So…..suggestions.
I think that eventually homeless people are going to be declared enemies of the state and rounded up by an I.C.E. affiliate. I.C.E. in this scenario is kind of like the American gestapo, and the affiliate would be the American Schutzstaffel or S.S. Then these non-persons will be sent to perform the work that the Mexicans used to do before they got booted.
Like produce picking, drywalling and landscaping at golf courses.
This would require some sort of internment camps to house them, and so a private contractor friend of the regime would make a killing from building the camps, and transporting the workers back and forth to the cotton fields and newly built Apple and garment factories wrestled away from China.
It’s a public relations no brainer. Cheap I-phones made in America, and Houston doesn’t have to deal with tent cities anymore.
Next up would be solving the opioid crisis. This also would make America great again, and the gameplan is identical to the homeless solution. Round them up and replace meth with manual labor. If you get enough homeless and druggies you probably can build a workforce large enough to pick produce and get started on rebuilding American infrastructure.
Also, speaking of infrastructure, the private prison people are ideally positioned to provide the labor force required and they’ve already got the housing in place. All they need is transport to the selected worksites. Maybe a railcar system would work?
Next order of business would be to secure the border. Not in the traditional sense where the concept is to keep people out, but rather to keep people in, so those potential forced farm hands don’t contemplate bolting to Canada.
This can be done by setting up checkpoints a few miles from the Canadian and Mexican borders to get Americans used to the concept that leaving America involves some scrutiny from the regime. To facilitate this endeavor we’ll need a new American identity card so the movement of all Americans can be tracked and monitored.
As an added bonus, the Christians can set up their tent at the checkpoint and make all of age females urinate in a flask to ensure they aren’t pregnant. Because Jesus doesn’t want pregnant Americans to venture into the land of the abortionists and diminish the supply of potential I-phone assemblers.
I think it’s likely that Mr. Miller or maybe Marge might suggest a policy addendum to the final solution for the homeless and druggies. But only if they’re white males. That codicil would allow forced labor to be avoided if they join the military. But only non-gay white males.
That should solve the armed forces recruitment problem, and America is looking greater and whiter than ever.
I think that after the flurry of initial suggestions for greatness are tabled that it’s time to set up a few sub-committee’s to work out the details. This process might be a little more arduous because a few American institutions will need to be dismantled in order to streamline things. The institutions I’m talking about are the media and the education systems.
The media in particular is a huge problem for the regime. Actually only a portion of the media is problematic. The propaganda media is fine. The critical media is not. So eventually a decree is going to be necessary to label and then outlaw any voices of criticism as enemies of the people.
Donnie got this ball rolling with his fake news slogan, but eventually some forceful action is going to be necessary. The supreme leader has already begun the process by calling for prosecution of his media adversaries, but so far it’s just noise. Somehow the jump has to be made from words to action, and I’m thinking accusations and subsequent convictions for treason is the answer.
The death penalty for treason is an option available in the land of the free and I think it’s a possibility. But not right now. Right now jail and those fields of labor is a better alternative. MAGA would tremble with excitement as video surfaced of Rachael Maddow and Jasmine Crockett getting off the rail cars and joining Kamala and Jimmy Kimmel on the walk to the newly opened coal mines.
So Bondi needs to get her shit together at the department of injustice and start prosecuting journalists. Maybe Judges Cannon and Jeanine have some docket openings and can get the ball rolling.
I don’t think education will be as big a problem as the media. MAGA is fond of television and twitter but doesn’t hold the same affection for Harvard. So the funding attacks on colleges is an excellent start. All you have to do is accelerate the defunding of public schools and the problem should sort itself out in a relatively short period of time.
Amagaca has one other problem that needs some suggestions for resolution from this conference.
The second amendment.
Right at this moment the ownership of guns is about as important to Trumpsters as fucking over the Libs. The problem is that lots of non-maga people in the U.S. are also A.R. equipped. So, how do you go about disarming only some of the population?
Its tricky.
I’m thinking a gun registry will be established in conjunction with a voter registry. Everyone will be forced to declare their political affiliation prior to being allowed on the voting list. If you aren’t a Trumplican then the second amendment isn’t applicable, and you can expect a warrantless visit from masked plain clothed agents without any badges to come and confiscate your firearms.
Because you’re a potential enemy of the people..
And you oppose America being great.
One final decision needs to be made by the MAGA think tank. Who do we aim our newly invigorated military at? Somebody has to get invaded and so they need to float a few reasons for justification. I think Canada is the logical choice. Those fuckers elected another Liberal government and they aren’t being a supplicant to Don so let’s fabricate a few stories. Like those fucking Canadians are going to shut off the oil, water and electricity so we need to create a few border incidents to get the annexation argument some traction.
So if Carney is paying attention maybe it’s a good time to reconsider the Liberal desire to disarm Canadians.
Just saying, because the Trumpification of America is in a high gear right now and it’s only a hundred or so days into his reign. And from the look of things the improbable is entirely probable.
