Kill the Monster
In Its Crib
Donald John Trump is a corrupt businessman with a lucrative side gig as the 47th president of these barely United States.
His abuse of power is open, contemptuous, and epic.
His Time of Terror and Tour of Revenge during the first five months of his second time in high office is the stuff of legend. He has used hutzpah and a sharpie to reimagine the world to his own personal advantage.
The power of the persons and the purses of those resisting Trump 2.0 is growing. That is good and meet. What now is required is an immediate, focused, and sustained full court press against passage of the tyrant’s signature legislation, his One Big Beautiful Bill. (BBB).
Turn the strategy of the Dear Leader against him.
He understands money is power.
Help him appreciate the ability of the governed to refuse to be the Other People’s Money he needs to fund his illegal actions.
Google AI explains that the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 established procedures for the President to propose deferrals (temporary delays) or recissions (permanent cancellations) of funds, but requires Congressional approval.
Expecting Congress to reverse course and change character at this late date is unrealistic. Its sustained lack of reaction to every grab of its constitutional powers by the executive branch is complicit conduct for which each sitting member must answer.
What is possible and immediately critical is to cause strategic damage to the Trump 2.0 agenda and the brand of Mr. Big.
Defy the Tyrant
Cause your representatives in Congress to abandon provisions in the BBB which fund any expansion of ICE operations under its own name or through the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and/or State.
What The Guy cannot fund, he cannot do.
Denied direct funding of his Alligator Alcatraz and other detainment measures which make history blush, Devious Donny very likely reflexively will resort to, and fully exercise, his habit of stiffing service providers.
This bad business practice will cause him to try to misappropriate impounded funds.
Knock yourself out, Big Boy.
That’s just one more article in long overdue and most-recently denied articles of impeachment.
Derail Draconian Measures
The legality of many of the Trump 2.0 orders and actions have been challenged successfully in the lower courts. The administration has abused judicial process by taking adverse rulings to the Supreme Court on an emergency basis. The high court has accommodated this abuse of power, mostly in the privacy of its shadow docket. It is doing a dandy job of avoiding the issues of habeas corpus and birthright protections and priviledges ON THEIR FACE. This indefensible and unconscionable judicial misconduct allows real world damage to persons and principles to continue, pending the far-removed moment when the court is forced to confront key constitutional issues directly.
Remedy of the nature and operation of a blatantly partisan and demonstrably corrupt high court will have to wait a changing of the legislative guard.
Until then, hang tight to, and operate guided by the immortal principle of The Golden Rule.
He who has the gold gets to rule.
We the People have the gold.
Let’s deny all three branches of our executioners access to it.
Hit the ‘phones. Flood the streets. Melt the internet.
Resist. Protest, Preval.
Go, team, go.
"Hit the ‘phones. Flood the streets. Melt the internet."
Make a joyful noise and keep it relentless and loud.
Good, clear reminder of immortal principle of the Golden Rule. Trump is not immortal, nor is anything in the cruel and destructive budget bill, all of which are time sensitive. Clearly nobody has thought this through. Working backward, to have a federal budget, you need money. That money comes from taxes and fees. That money comes from purchases and workers. Did someone create a fantasy where all work is now done by AI and there is no longer a need for education and people with skills and knowledge? Whoopsie.
