The exhaustion is the point, along with the cruelty.
I can’t tell you how much I don’t want to have to write anything about adjudicated rapist criminal fraud Donald Trump, who wouldn’t even take the stand in his own election interference trial because everyone knew he’d perjure himself within a minute.
But when he shares a video promising to turn the United States of America into a “unified Reich,” this Jew has to speak up. Because not enough people are mad about this or the other abnormal normalizations of this fucking criminal and his compromised cadre of Kochsuckers.
Trump’s cult of identically-dressed Emotional Support Sycophants gathered once again yesterday outside the courthouse to defend election interference via hush money payments to more than one mistress while his third wife was both growing and recovering from forced-birthing his fifth child.
Don “Coke Drip” Jr finally showed up, which means someone really put the screws to him to make an appearance despite his own legal problems and the fact that literally everyone fucking hates the sight of him.
Joe “I’m From Joisey” Piscopo was also there, because he doesn’t have anything else going on. Kids, don’t do steroids. Also, if you’re going to ever meet one of your (former) comedy heroes, make sure it’s well before they turn into a roided-out MAGA loser (which I did nearly 20 years ago when I still had my dream job on the radio).
Anyway, back to the original point, which is nothing in America should be compared to anything from Nazi Germany.
And yet, the presumptive GOP nominee—who’s a week away from a jury beginning its deliberation in the first of his numerous criminal trials—has a well-documented Hitler Jones. Herr VonShitzenpantz shared a video on his tanking Truth Social money laundering app from some Nazi with editing experience that made promised of what another Trump administration would look like.
While Trump has since deleted the video, the internet is forever. I’m not sharing it, but here’s the screenshot that matters the most.
“The creation of a Unified Reich” is NOT what’s next for America, fuckos. Not on This Jew’s watch.
Trump is also apparently floating the idea of changing the 22nd Amendment so a President can serve three terms instead of two. And he’s doing this because his party knows that they’re running a twice-impeached two-time loser of the Popular Vote who wouldn’t be able to serve the coveted two terms they want.
Pair that with all of his wannabe gangster posturing and bragging that he’ll be a “dictator from Day One,” and maybe more people should really be taking him at his word, because it’s one of the few times he hasn’t lied to the public.
Thanks for fuck all, MSM. Not everyone watches the right people on MSNBC (oh yeah, why is Katy Tur still employed when Michael Cohen outed her as one of the three main media sources he used to get positive Trump stories circulating?) and it would be great if ABC, NBC, and CBS began their broadcasts with a positive story about Joe Biden instead of another invisible accordion performance from the lyingest liar in the history of lying.
There are people in this country blaming legitimately elected President Joe Biden for the Dobbs decision, despite abortion-loving Donald Trump bragging that he ended Roe. Now he’s wavering on the latest dystopian decision by the MAGA cultists to ban contraception along with abortion.
You know who else wanted to control the population? Achtung, baby!
It’s not news that Republicans fuck everything up and make a huge mess that Democrats need to clean up. They whine and make blanket demands to shutter the FBI and the DOJ while ending all government assistance to the public. Notice how they never have any suggestions or plans to manage the chaos that would ensue.
But a “unified Reich” isn’t anything that’s going to happen here. Nope. The unchecked antisemitism on Twitter is one thing—and this Jew isn’t let any Nazis run me out of anywhere—but when Cult 45 is openly embracing Final Solution-y language, I expect the MSM to shine a glaring light on it.
Nicolle Wallace did a segment about it on Deadline: White House yesterday, and I appreciate how she’s been holding Trump accountable. She’s also a mutual follow on Twitter (as are Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Ruhle, Joy Reid, and Katie Phang), and I’m still waiting for my invitation to join the panel.
Because I know you missed it, Joe Biden is doing an amazing job. The Dow hit a record 40,000 the other day. He delivered a knockout of a commencement speech at HBCU Morehouse College that the MSM barely mentioned because of their addiction to the Trump Rage Cycle.
Also, Joe Biden isn’t a fascist trying to erase American Jews.
The exhaustion is a big part of the point, but I’ll never be too tired to fight fascism. Join me, shall you?
But even I need a respite from the daily debacle to defend democracy. I just started reading Stephen King’s You Like It Darker, his latest collection of short (and not-so-short) stories. Skeleton Crew will never be bested, in my opinion. And so far I haven’t hit on anything that matches the novellas of Different Seasons, but I remain open-minded because it’s Uncle Steve!
I’m still hoping he sees my tweets about my rock and roll love story The Sound of Settling, because even one retweet from him could boost my sales, and maybe even attract an agent already.
I got another AI-generated rejection the other day, btw. Once again, no mention of “my project” title, content, or anything that identifies it. It doesn’t even have a signature. So lazy and not-at-all encouraging in any way.
Sigh.
Meanwhile, page reads on Amazon Kindle have recently exploded, which is great! Sales there aren’t picking up as much as I’d hoped, but there’s still plenty of month left. With Memorial Day Weekend approaching already somehow, The Sound of Settling is the perfect Summer Beach Read! Yep, that’s my new self-promotional approach and I think it could be effective if only more people knew about it, please.
Over 1000 of you are subscribed (thank you!), so if every reader also got a copy of my ultimate meta-fanfic, and also please share on your socials, that would boost my beloved book big time. It’s a different kind of exhaustion on top of the political exhaustion, so any relief from either would be a joy as we head into the holiday weekend.

Hey, what do you want? He said "unified!"
You libs, you are never happy. First, you complain that he's "divisive," then, you whine when he talks unity. Sheesh.
Why haven't Democrats superglued Katie Britt's suggestion of a database of pregnant women to the GOP asa whole. If an obscure Democratic state legislator from an obscure state suggested something even a tenth as crazy this Friday, the GOP would have it superglued to every Democrat from Biden on down by the following Tuesday. Now 90% of people have forgotten about Katie's database of preggos.
