Congress now has the votes to force a floor debate and vote on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Johnson, perhaps the greatest coward in the history of Congress, has suspended congressional business for a week while frantically trying to delay swearing in newly minted Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. This would under normal circumstances, be the sort of chickenshittery you might expect from Johnson-without-a-Johnson, but what makes this far more remarkable is that it means Congress cannot do anything to avoid a government shutdown on October 1<sup>st<\/sup>. Trump is, incredibly, trying to make that part of his plan, which apparently involves firing most of the people that made government functional. While the shutdown would not affect Social Security or Medicare or Veteran Affairs (already damaged by Trump and Musk\u2019s sweeping rape of the government) it would bring to a halt most of the government\u2019s most loved elements\u2014national parks and reserves, monuments, and most other non-essential functions.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been through this contrived \u201ccrisis\u201d a dozen times or more since Newt Gingrich realized it was a great way to extort the country. And sometimes the government has shut down, and Republicans have taken it on the chin each time because the public, for the most part, realized who the extortionists were.<\/p>\n<p>This time is different. Not only can Congress not come up with a last-minute solution to the crisis, but Trump\u2019s answer is to fire all the non-essential workers, ensuring the crisis becomes permanent no matter what Congress does.<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans rigged the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill\u201d to ensure that the most vicious fallout wouldn\u2019t occur until after November 2026, and this will undo in one swipe the palatability for the stupid people who love Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Donald announced a military invasion of \u201cwar-ravaged\u201d Portland, Oregon yesterday. This will come as news to Portland residents, who probably thought their greatest adversary was forest fires\u2014and this has been a relatively mellow fire season.<\/p>\n<p>He also declared AntiFa a \u201cdomestic terrorism\u201d organization. He needs to set up a new PAC: \u201cFascists against AntiFascism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has also declared war on George Soros because decades of antisemitic \u201cpro-Israel\u201d propaganda from Faux News means most of his supporters have heard of Soros. But then, Soros is supporting Newsom\u2019s redistricting battle after Texas\u2019 Trump-sponsored move to steal five Congressional seats.<\/p>\n<p>And last week was an unmitigated fiasco for Trump. First, there was the Jimmy Kimmel thing. The only thing stupider than losing to a comedian with twenty million followers is picking a fight with a comedian with twenty million followers in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the catastrophe of the UN address. Bad enough that Trump\u2019s staff fucked up the teleprompter, which meant that the wingless Donald had to fly solo, but he went on to tell the assemblage their countries were all \u201cgoing to hell\u201d, and whined about the teleprompter, an escalator that stalled, and that the UN rejected a remodeling bid from Trump FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.<\/p>\n<p>One Blue Sky wit wrote, \u201cLead your life in such a way that if the escalator breaks, it isn\u2019t because someone wants to kill you.\u201d Seems easy enough advice to follow, doesn\u2019t it? Well, funny story\u2026<\/p>\n<p>So, Donald is on the ropes. He\u2019s scared, he\u2019s desperate.<\/p>\n<p>That isn\u2019t necessarily good news: cornered rats are considerably more dangerous than regular rats. Remember that.<\/p>\n<p>But murderous desperation is showing up in Congress, too. Marjorie Taylor-Greene posted a tweet today telling her members that In the Event Of, she wants them to know she isn\u2019t even remotely suicidal and any unexpected death should be met with a healthy skepticism. Now, MT-G is noted for histrionic persiflage, it is true, but this sounds more like someone who is genuinely frightened. I\u2019ve little love for her, but I wish her a long and healthy life!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, another nasty clown in the GOP, one<i> \u201cJohn Gillette <\/i><i>(<\/i><i>R-Kingman<\/i><i>)<\/i><i>, wrote on the social media site X that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was calling for the government to be overthrown and should be hanged. \u2018Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried convicted and hanged.. it will continue,\u2019 Gillette <a href=\"https:\/\/xcancel.com\/AzRepGillette\/status\/1971064885296628139\">said in response<\/a> to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/all-video\/\">video<\/a> of Jayapal.\u2019\u2019 <\/i><i>[excerpt from Huffpost]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Jayapal\u2019s \u2018crime\u2019? Calling for people to get out and demonstrate. That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n<p>I have a feeling that we are rapidly approaching a climax to the rise and hoped-for fall of Donald Trump. But I won\u2019t breathe freely until he is out of office and in prison where he belongs.<\/p>\n<p>Best of luck, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryan Zepp Jamieson September 27th 2025 This week\u2019s offensives against George Soros and the city of Portland reflect, not a disintegration of America, but a disintegration of the Donald Trump regime.
