After self-confessed and indicted sexual predator Donald J. Trump oozed into office like runoff from a pustule, promising to protect the women, whether they like it or not, he has finally given us what we wanted.
Pornography. Hard-core.
I mean, I guess that’s what we wanted. It looks more like footage that some undercover provocateur might have released to undermine the President, and there was a time it might have had that effect, but we’re over that sissy law-and-liberty stuff now. This slime has been staged and directed from the highest level, and widely distributed to even the mainstream media, on purpose. You’ve seen it.
America, you have seen it. Men packed together like filleted fish, heads shaved and bowed. This reality, and this porno scene, is being produced in your name. Presumably the men are in prisons in El Salvador. What? No, they are men. They are human beings. Some of them might be criminals. We don’t know. We don’t need to know, America, because Donald J. Trump has said they are, even though he doesn’t know it either.
There’s some fuss being made over one of these men (Yes! They are still men!) because even the administration agrees he was scooped off the streets in error, although they continue to claim he’s a bad guy anyway, even though they had no evidence that they were able to present to a court. But we believe it. We believe it about all of those filleted gentlemen, because, well, look at them! Heads shaved. Heads bowed. These cannot be good people. We really don’t need to care about them. Fuck them, really.
Don’t even bring up history. This is the modern era. Cattle cars are old school. We use planes. And Trump is nothing like that other guy, although he does admire him. The other guy had more hair, for one thing. Forget about history. History is history. Some of you might remember it if you’re old enough, but you’ll be dead soon, and now we care enough about our children to protect them from it.
It has been reported that our “224-pound” leader has recently aced, aced I tell you, a cognitive test in which he was required to remember five words, but none of them were from the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, neither of which he is he would recognize if they got caught in his head fluff.The D of I used to be kind of a big deal. In it, our nascent nation declared it was going to abide by certain ideals that were not at all in the mainstream at the time. And for over 200 years, during many of which we fell short of those ideals, we still maintained that the rule of law was sacrosanct, that due process is a fundamental right, and that it applies to citizens and non-citizens alike. It was a revolutionary idea at the time. No one can be deprived of life or liberty without due process of law. It’s messy, it’s time-consuming, but it means that we Americans believe humans have value. It’s pro-life.
That means you cannot scoop random brownish people off the street for a suspicious tattoo and pack them off to El Salvador without violating the most core principles our country was founded on. The thing that made us different.
Unless, of course, you just do. Nanner nanner, try ’n’ stop me, says our grownup in chief.
This practice done in our name is being called “deportation.”
These men are not being deported. They are being exported. They are a product we are sending away but instead of El Salvador paying for them, we taxpayers are paying them to remove them from our sight, after, of course, they have bared their submissive bodies for the President’s porn. The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, can certainly be trusted to declare all these men vicious criminals and terrorists and he’s got the pocket jingle to prove it.
The sight of our shaved and stacked human export products is the only thing besides Ivanka that gives our President a woody anymore, and so, America, we are probably stuck with his porn. It might get even better. It’s already a snuff film. The good stuff happens off-camera.
Ugly. Thank you for your anger.
Thanks. Comes free with the package.
When tRump and his sycophants are overthrown, guess where we’re sending them?
I visualize them upside down.
In times gone by of unrest, like Vietnam and asassinations, and even Covid, various clergy members stood and “spoke to power”.
I have not heard of any.
Are they afraid for their tax exempt status?
You are pretty brave here. There’s no small amount of irony about the difference between Kristi Noem posting this as great propaganda, warning off humans who might think about venturing here from anywhere else and you posting it for the pornography it truly is. Maybe the difference is that you didn’t also have you in the photo, wearing sexy tight military shorts and a 100,000 watch. This is all nauseating and reprehensible. My question is will it show up on FB or do you even want it to? Got you on Substack now. Thanks for your voice.
I don’t feel brave at all. I guess I still think a person can say what they mean without fear of reprisal, and also I know exactly how small my audience is!
Your anger is on the mark, of course, but…

Oh! Good to know, and thank you. I hate when I do that.
Just doin’ my job, ma’am.
I am sickened. These are human beings. These are mother’s children. I used to live in a country with due process in court. I now live in a dictatorship with no human rights. I am sickened.
Let’s take it back, shall we?
So many shameful things happening in your country. I once wished I could see Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon. Now I have crossed America off my list of places I might like to see if I ever suddenly got rich enough to travel. Even if things improve, I will never visit.
Niagara Falls is best viewed from the Canadian side.
Bruce beat me to it. From the American side, it looks like some place you don’t want to be in a kayak in.
I can’t look at those prison photos. But I did attend a rally yesterday in support of democracy. There are a lot of angry people. If only we can elect enough anti-MAGA representatives to impeach Trump a third, and final, time.
I went to a rally too, and I thought it would be less inspiring because it was out in the decidedly more red suburbs–but people showed up and the honking cars far outnumbered the middle fingers (and trucks blowing black smoke)! VERY inspiring.
I’ve been going to our weekly protest here in my small town in a very red part of SE Iowa. Each week I am heartened by the people who show up, the people driving by who honk and give us a thumbs up, and by the lack of hecklers. I’m suggesting that each of us bring someone “new” to next week’s demonstration. I know there are many who have not yet felt comfortable enough to come. I want them to know it is a safe and supporting group. Keep on keepin’ on folks!
That is GOOD news! I was thinking even those who were driving by and not inclined to offer support at least heard all the other honkers and knew it wasn’t just people willing to come out and stand with a sign–that even passers-by were on board.
In the old days of Vietnam and asassinations, the clergy would “speak to power” from their pulpits. I haven:t heard of that happening recently.
Are they also concerned about their tax exemptions evaporating?
Pope’s been pretty good. So there’s one.
Not anymore. Just saw in my newsfeed that he died this morning. I suspect J. D. Vance.
After having to listen to Vance, who wouldn’t think life wasn’t worth living if you had to listen to his shit?
