100 Days of Gomorrah: For Donald Trump and Project 2025

100 Days of Gomorrah: For Donald Trump and Project 2025

The Audacity of NOPE!

100 Days of Gomorrah.

With apologies to the Marquis De Sade and 1785 because;

The cruelty is the point in America 2025.

The first 100 days;

Rub tiny hands together to see what you can steal.

Negotiationbation.

Annexationbation.

Regressive Taxationbation.

Devastationbation.

Christian Nationbation.

Donationbation.

Humiliationbation.

Deportationbation.

Science Negationbation.

“You’re going to feel a little necessary pain”, he says
“But, soon you will begin to like it”.

“Please, Sir, may I have another” sing a choir of toadies.

A Phallic Sharpie Marker in his Orange Onan-ite hands — most men would choose a gun when they felt inadequate or premature.

But, the Sharpie is more powerful than the magnum;

More powerful than the tiny mushroom Stormy described.

Especially when you want to stick up the world.

“Get out of America by sundown”, he says.

Illustrating the idea that The Western is America’s structuring myth.

He — Orange Anti-Yellowstone — who wants to pave paradise and build parking lots;

And, oil fields.

Build idolatrous images in gold and guild;

And clear cut forest to dig out “good clean coal”.

Use third world countries as American Gulags and;

Encourage the construction of more Central American black site prisons for “home grown threats”.

Because that’s efficiency — you gotta make the bodies disappear;
No bodies no TRANSgressions of the Constitution.

The only “TRANS” tolerated in America today.

Turn this Den of Thieves into a House of the Rising Sun.

Let the White House be adorned like a brothel;
Where Mistress Melania will feel comfortable slapping your hands away.

Have his face adorn Mount Rushmore and rename a gulf in his image;

I wonder if anyone ever told him that cross cultural understanding,
Might have helped him and his cabinet more accurately predict China’s reaction;
To America’s unilateral institution of tarriffs?

The more you know.

He’s so drunk at the power orgy he doesn’t know who he’s fucking.

But, then, that’s easy.

He’s fucking us.

Democracy got taxed on April 15th: for Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia (2025)

  Democracy got taxed on April 15th: for Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia (2025) Democracy got taxed on April 15th; Nobody in the Oval Office flinched. The lawyers weren’t litigious; They simply ignored The Supreme Court. And, the billionaires were the only ones who purchased stocks. Lady Liberty’s lips were painted red; Planes and choppers crashed […]

A Good Fucking Start: For James Baldwin and the Contradictions He Was Forced to Live

A Good Fucking Start: For James Baldwin and the Contradictions He Was Forced to Live “I want what you want. I want to be left alone…” This is probably the most powerful thing James Baldwin ever said Because it speaks to an “everyday” Where “nothing much happens”; And, “everything is possible”. It’s 2025, and there […]

To universities “choosing to stay neutral”, despise, abhor, and spew out all neutralities!

  “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” Archbishop Desmond Tutu According to a headline in today’s New York Times, […]

Auden, “Musée des Beaux Arts“ “The stampede at New Delhi Railway station on February 15 that resulted in 18 deaths and left many injured was caused by a lethal combination of factors.” Of the 18 deaths reported thus far, 14 were women.

For it is a mournful truth that devastation is incomparably an easier work than production

  The abandonment of all principle of right enables the soul to choose and act upon a principle of wrong, and to subordinate to this one principle all the various vices of human nature. For it is a mournful truth, that as devastation is incomparably an easier work than production, so may all its means […]

Eviction Watch: Who builds the city up each time? A (construction) worker reads history

  “And Babylon, so many times destroyed. Who built the city up each time? In which of Lima’s houses, That city glittering with gold, lived those who built it? In the evening when the Chinese wall was finished Where did the masons go? Imperial Rome Is full of arcs of triumph. Who reared them up?” […]

Eviction Watch: In the warehouse of evictions, our “need” for misery and torture

   “And she had learned from experience that Need was a warehouse that could accommodate a considerable amount of cruelty.” Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness 2025 began as 2024 ended, skyrocketing eviction filings, soaring evictions, mounting homelessness amid calls from many quarters to “address homelessness” by evicting the unhoused from their encampments, from […]

“Our worsening national affordable housing crisis” caused record levels of homelessness

This week, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Policy Development and Research released its 2024 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report. The report takes a one-day image of homelessness on a day in January 2024, a so-called Point-in-Time, or PIT, count. The picture is predictably grim. From 2023’s count to this one, homelessness […]
