Donald Trump is a goddamn monster and the Republicans on the Supreme Court are theocratic fascists. I will fight them until they’re all dead and buried. For just $5 a month or $50 a year, you can help keep the Opinionated Ogre going. Thank you!
This is America. We do not have kings. We do not have emperors. We are not ruled. We elect leaders and we do not submit to dictators.
Republicans seem to think otherwise and it’s time to show them just how very wrong they are. When that happens, the right is going to be very surprised because they honestly think it’s all over but for the coronation of King Trump.
This fuckstick from the Heritage Foundation is so high on his own supply, he said the quiet part out loud:
Here’s the thing, though. The American Revolution was fought explicitly to overthrow the tyranny of the monarchy. A monarchy this piece of shit is trying to restore. So we know the sides in this second revolution. We’re the Americans fighting for their freedom and they’re the redcoats.
How’d that work out for you the last time, you rat bastard? We said, “No!” to the rule of kings and you assholes made it bloody, just like you’re threatening to do now. Being Americans, and a rather bloody-minded lot, we killed so many of you that you ran like the little bitches you are back across the Atlantic.
The difference, of course, is that this time you won’t be running back to England. You’ll be going a little further east, to Russia, you fucking traitors.
What’s that? You have all the guns? Cool story. First, you don’t. And second, you’re fucking cowards. You’ve always been cowards. Fear is the core of your being. It drives everything you do. Fear of women. Fear of Blacks. Fear of gays. Fear of equality. Fear fear fear.
The only time you fucking cowards fight is when you think there won’t be any consequences or you can score an easy win or someone else will do the dying for you. You’re going to grovel at the first sign of armed resistance to your revolution when you decide to make it bloody again. Because you’re fucking cowards.
It won’t save you. You fire that first shot, I promise you, the last one will be in the back of your head while you’re up against a wall and your glorious leader will have long abandoned you.
I, for one, look forward to Trump declaring himself a president-in-exile from the steps of the Kremlin. The point will be to create chaos here but all it will do is put a neon sign over the head of every America-hating insurrectionist still plotting to overthrow the country as they keep flying Trump flags. I guess with his new expanded powers, Joe Biden can just arrest them. That’s how it works now, right?
Meanwhile, it’s been almost a full week since the debate and the press has not stopped trying to push Joe Biden out of the race for One. Fucking. Second. And why should they? It’s the goal they’ve been working towards since Biden was inaugurated and they’re running out of time. The election is four months away and Trump is the weakest Republican candidate in modern American history.
Just to be clear:
Trump is a convicted felon
Trump is an adjudicated rapist
Trump owes almost a billion (with a “B”) dollars in fines and civil penalties
Trump is still facing three more criminal trials, any of which will put him in jail for life when he is convicted
Trump will be sentenced for his 34 felony convictions
Trump struggled to crack 75% to 80% in primaries where his opponent had withdrawn from the race months earlier
Biden, the guy with a stutter, has trouble speaking? Have you fucking seen Trump?! He’s in full cognitive collapse
Trump has been credibly accused of raping a 12-year-old girl multiple times
This list could go on for days. Biden would not be allowed to run with even one of these hanging around his neck. The press would never allow it. But that same press just…doesn’t talk about any of this anymore. Or when they do, it’s just in passing and certainly not as a disqualifying event.
Their lust for Trump has made them complicit with the Supreme Court’s ongoing judicial coup. They think that another few years of utter chaos is survivable because we got through Trump’s last four years, didn’t we? And, my god, look at how much money we made while Trump was in office! A little short-term pain for America is ok if we can sign dozens of book deals and have awards rain down like mana from heaven, yeah?
The greed and narcissism of the American press are only matched by the greed and narcissism of the Republican Party. Both have combined to make a toxic sludge intent of killing everything good about this country.
But we don’t have to put up with this. We don’t have to allow a press working as the propaganda arm of the Trump campaign to terrorize us. We don’t have to let them dictate to us who we get to vote for.
Tens of millions of Americans voted in this year’s primaries for Joe fucking Biden and how fucking dare the press try to take that away?
Let me remind you once again that they are not doing this “for the good of the country.” They don’t want to replace Biden because he might lose to Trump. They want to replace him because he might win. That is what the press fear more than anything else. How do I know none of this is in good faith?
Let me share something I wrote back in March:
The press milked Biden’s age for all the consternation and clicks they could and then let it go when Trump’s cognitive decline became the story. They’ll drop it again, wait a few months, and then a new round of “OMG! Biden is so oooooold!” will grip the press all at the same time. My guess would be right around mid-July.
Why the summer? Because the Democratic convention is in the middle of August and there will be a palpable need among the press to detract from Biden’s official nomination. They will need this to counter Trump’s legal and financial woes which will continue to escalate nonstop from now until well after the election. Also, this would give the press enough time to run with the narrative for another month and then let it go quiet just long enough to resurrect in mid to late October.
Am I suggesting that the press will attempt to influence the election by plastering their front pages with “BIDEN IS OLD!” stories right before election day? I am not “suggesting” any such thing. I am fucking willing to bet money on it.
“a new round of “OMG! Biden is so oooooold!” will grip the press all at the same time. My guess would be right around mid-July.” Oh look! I was off by two weeks. Kind of weird how I was able to make that call almost to the day. They hadn’t even announced the debate yet and I still knew we would be knee-deep in a new round of media-generated hysteria right about now. If there had been no debate, the press would have fixated on something else Biden did and it would have kicked off weeks of crazed demands for him to step aside.
They were always going to do this and they will do it again in October, I promise you. The press loves nothing more than to prove that they are the kingmakers but they only use this power to punish Democrats. Not Republicans. Never Republicans.
We do not have to allow this. We do not have to allow ourselves to be manipulated by bad people with worse intentions.
We can donate, campaign, write postcards, write articles1, knock on doors, and be ready to punch a Nazi because it’s always OK to punch a Nazi when they show up in your neighborhood to tell you that the concentration camps are coming.
Today is Independence Day. This is America. No kings. Vote Biden.

Hey, you play to your strengths and this is mine.
I’ll always be ready. I’m not stopping just because the kremlin wants an overbloated orange fungus to declare itself as a king/god. I’m ready to vote like my life depends on it. It always has and always will. I’m especially always ready to vanquish evil by any means necessary. Stay safe. I’ll see you all at the polls.
You don’t mince words and I love it! Kevin Roberts can kiss my ass! The fascists on the Supreme Court all need to be impeached. They are rewriting the fucking constitution! They are traitors. Goddamnit, we have to take this country back from the brink. I’m a 74 yr old woman but I will fight till my last breath for democracy and freedom. These fascists don’t have a chance when all the patriots in this country awaken to the danger we’re in.
