If you thought the first three weeks of living in the kingdom of self-proclaimed King Donald Trump was like being forced to listen to fingernails being scratched on a hundred blackboards, the last week was as if your own fingernails were added to the cacophony of scratching. Sure, we’re all worried about the continued rise in grocery items, government services no longer available, empty air control towers, and the spats of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But as if that weren’t enough for American-type humans to contend with, we now have to be concerned about being cut off from the rest of the world, except for Russia.
Our ignorant Felon-in-Chief, after lying to president Volodymyr Zelensky by saying we gave $200 billion more to the Ukraine than Europe did (Pinocchio Alert: A complete lie because we gave less than Europe and Zelensky knows it), insults his guest further by indicating he should be kissing his feet and begging for more help, to which his equally ignorant and obviously stupid vice president Vance emphasized the fact to Zelensky as if he was talking to a nine-year-old kid or Marjorie Taylor-Greene. Being a decent human with morals, principles and integrity, qualities non-existent in the two morons he had to deal with, Zelensky wouldn’t take it. I can see Putin doing the happy dance in the Kremlin
Our own governor JB Pritzker said the same thing I’ve been spouting off about in my various Voice diatribes off and on since the last Orange Blob fiasco: How Trump is following the same path as Hitler by brainwashing Germans into hatred of the Jews, with Trump brainwashing his MAGA dimwits into believing Putin is actually a good guy and Zelensky is the dictator who’s responsible for the war. Trump and Musk want us to feel helpless and powerless so they can completely take over control. Project 2025 is their Mein Kampf.
If you’ve been reading The Voice for any length of time you’ve seen we have our own brainwashed MAGA writing here in the form of Bela “Wild Bill” Suhayda. Bela doesn’t care about the less fortunate among us being robbed of their benefits, about hundreds of thousands of valuable employees losing their jobs, about useless tariffs that will only raise prices on most everything we buy, about losing sales to countries who will go elsewhere to avoid tariffs on American goods they buy, about preserving the environment for our children, grandchildren and future generations, about bigotry and racism, about rewriting the past so all the white men in history only did nice things for the slaves and the Native Americans. Bela cares about what’s good for him. So what if drilling for oil pollutes the oceans and Native American lands? At least Wild Bill can drive his gas-guzzler. Windmills are ugly and money is wasted developing natural sources of energy. So what if Trump becomes a dictator and aligns himself with Putin? America will be stronger for it.
Unfortunately for Trump and Suhayda, the meeting with Zelensky appears to have signaled the beginning of the end for King Smelly and his confederacy of dunces. James Carville gave him 30 days until the end of his reign. Bela will have to move back to Hungary if he longs to live under a dictator. If there is any good news in all this, it’s that boycotts, protests and the federal courts are beginning to have an effect. Popularity for the Big Orange Scum, Muskmelon, and his groveling vice president is falling like a stone dropped in a vacuum.
I sum up the Whitehouse Unholy Three situation this way: Picture, if you will, that you’re our own Uncle Sam with a beautiful front lawn, the result of the care and sweat you’ve poured into it over the years. Along come two large unleashed Great Danes (we’ll call them Smelly Con and Chainsaw) that run to the middle of your lawn and quickly leave two humongous, odiferous fecal gifts right in the middle of the lush green carpet, then trot away contentedly. Before you have a chance to react, an unleashed yapping Chihuahua (we’ll call him JayDee) prances onto Uncle’s lawn. Not to be undone, JayDee squats over the first two presents and adds his own insignificant but still odiferous contribution to the top of the pile and scampers after Smelly Con and Chainsaw. You run out front and scream not nice things after the dogs, just as your neighbor Bela “Wild Bill” Suhayda approaches. To add insult to injury, he says, “You shouldn’t be cursing those dogs. You should thank them for the beneficial exercise you’ll get by scooping up their gracious gifts and then repairing your lawn. Leave out some Purina Doofus Chow and maybe they’ll stick around.
Isn’t life grand?
