I understand that this horse is deceased, but---

A federal court just ruled that Chad Wolf's suspension of DACA was INVALID because his appointment was "unlawful" and he therefore lacked authority to act as head of DHS.

If Trump was only placed in the White House by virtue of illegal voter suppression and the solicited illegal intervention of Russia, why are the appointments of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett not INVALID?

I'll sit down now.

This may have been discussed, but I haven't seen it. If we are going to "shut down", let's

SHUT DOWN.

Don't just stop bars and restaurants and barbers, etc. Stop evictions and foreclosures and repos and---accrual of ANY interest.

It should not be necessary to say, but it is, that those travelling in public for reasons not absolutely necessary for their health---including food shopping---should be cited and fined an amount large enough to hurt. Those in public for the acceptable reasons MUST wear masks and socially distance or face similar fines. Serial offenders should be incarcerated.

Share the pain as equally as possible.

A reminder, folks---"Donald WHO?" Just sayin'--- nt

Trump does not want the votes counted; he wants them ignored. He and his RWNJ supporters

are no longer even pretending to seek an electoral win.

They are flailing around in a desperate search for a successful coup method.

I'll say this again: Trump and every one of his cockroach enablers needs to be stomped on.

When Trump assumes room temperature, should he be buried after the usual past president honors, or

just double-bagged and drug to the curb?

No jokes. No poetry. Serious post.

If you have not yet read "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder, it is my humble opinion that you owe it to yourself to do so.

I got mine last year, read it, thought about it, read it again a couple of months later and put it away as things got hectic in the campaign. I am reading it again and I am ashamed I have not made this post before.

The book is 126 pages long with 20 "bite-sized" chapters and written in plain understandable terms that feature a forehead-slapping "YES!" passage on nearly each page. This guy gets it.

From the intro paragraph to Chapter 8 , entitled "Stand Out": "Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Though it never mentions Trump by name, it was published between the '16 and '18 elections and ascribes several types of fascistic conduct to "the president".

My paperback copy cost $8.99. Used copies are available for less.

It's a small book---about 4" by 5" and they would make great stocking stuffers.

Finally, no, I don't have any stock in Penguin Random House, the publisher. It's just a great little book.

HAIKU! (gesundheit---)

It seems the Trump Train
Has run off the rails and now
All tickets are void.

About this Trump Train: "And lo---as the angry crowd plodded down the wide path that runneth on

even unto the palace where he who called himself "The Most High" dwelleth, a Great Noise was heard! The sky opened and a light brighter than a hundred---nay, a THOUSAND suns!---drove all to their knees, quivering in fright and making puddles whereat they knelt!

"WHAT PART OF 'NEVER TRUMP' DO YOU FOOLS NOT UNDERSTAND?" cried the voice in the light.

"I sent hurricanes and forest fires and caused the nations of the world to regard you with disgust and disrespect!

I revealed to all who sought truth the base nature of the dross that the wicked and foolish had raised up to power and, yet, you dare to profane the honest goodness of the people by wearing detestable signs on your heads and breasts as you wave bright banners of abomination before me!

"THOU HAST PISSED ME OFF!" thundered the sky voice and the mob of defilers just --- "went away like a miracle".

The clouds parted, birds sang once again in the blue sky and sighs of relief and smiles were shared hither and yon.

Sigh---fiction I am afraid, but it sure felt good to write!

"Mr. Trump, Air Force One needs a complete overhaul due to safety concerns. The work should take

about 69 days. Oh, and, by the way, we are voiding your passport so we can print a new one with an updated photo.

'When will your new one be ready?' Uh---two weeks, ok? Two weeks---you know---when your beautiful healthcare plan will be released."

We'll know exactly where Trump was when he heard Georgia was called as soon as we can see

where the stain on the rug is.
