These Guardsmen and women have a duty to refuse an illegal order should it come to that. I don't know what would need to happen for an order to be considered illegal, but I'm fairly certain that the Demented Don will eventually cross that line with the military. They already violate the Constitution routinely by denying due process to the people hunted and disappeared by ICE. Once that and the presence of troops becomes normalized, he will step up his assault on the rule of law.

Maybe congestive heart failure will get him first, because in my non-medical opinion, I'm fairly certain that that is what he has. In all likelihood, the fool will continue to gulp down hamberders and refuse to comply with any lifestyle changes that are part of managing the disease. But that's a story for a different day!

PLEASE WRITE THE FIFA Organization in Zurich at media@FIFA.org or any other address you can find for them to get them to NOT come here. I just wrote them:

To the entire FIFA organization:

I beg you DO NOT HOLD ANY EVENTS IN MY COUNTRY. We are experiencing the worst outbreak of Nazification, anti-immigrant, and unprecedented attacks on science and the arts in our history.

WHY? Donald Trump is why.

His ill-considered tariffs and the chaos in world markets, especially targeting Switzerland for no discernible reason at all, should give you pause and time to change who gets to hold events here.

Also the ICE Border Patrol randomly incarcerates legal people from Canada, New Zealand and Australia that do not fit their profile of a "Proper" visitor to this country. They take your cell phones and check your phone history. You have seen the news. It is pure hatred that drives this juggernaut of terror in this country now, to the extent that our president is building concentration camps to house legal as well as undocumented immigrants.

Please do not come to this country if you can possibly avoid it because we now live in a country where the military illegally prowls the streets of Washington DC and other cities intimidating law abiding citizens.

We are protesting and hope that our friends abroad will heed the example of Canada, not to have anything to do with the US until we remove Donald Trump.

For your own safety and security, hold all the events in any other country you choose, just not here. Our experience is a clear echo of Adolph Hitler's Germany, and all of us know where that led, and it is not pretty.

I suggest a letter and phone campaign to inform and warn all foreign nationals that the US is no longer a safe place to visit, nor for many here, to even live.

We need a fucking break from the shit-storm.

Not to complete with the inestimable Ziggy, I have a Sunday night movie offering, Zachariah. Written by The Firesign Theatre, it's a Western, of sorts. James Gang, Country Joe y Los Fish, and more. See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3n6Nccb9CM&ab_channel=MiroslavNikolic

What I Did Today:

Got up at 0500, proceeded to work and installed monitors and PCs. Late brekkie at 11, and now I get to drink and smoke all afternoon. Nothing on the sked until 1400 hours tomorrow.

The other night I watched Apocalypse Now enhanced version and was reminded of Kurtz going to Beret training at age 39. While I find Kurtz' methods unsound, I feel a kinship; I'm working with people who are all a good 25 years younger and 10,000 steps/day is the average. Took a little getting used to (we had one guy who lasted one night) but I can keep up now.

Temps in the low 80'sF, all the windows open, nice breeze, watching "Beat The Devil" with all the attendant treats.

I never thought life would be this good for me again, after all the jazz.

I did a new Substack page. Everyone should read it instead of going to Cracker Barrel. It's got a cat and the mule and some flowers and a poem. Simple but complete in my opinion!

Does anyone know if the Nation Guard was able to score the coke Big Balls was looking for the night he got rolled ?

If not, wtf is the point of their deployment ? . . .

DC is totally safe for white dudes to pick up an eight ball at 3 a.m. in a gay section of town.

Errrrrbody knows the gays have the best drugs. Or, since Biggus Ballus is a conservative, maybe he was looking for something else in that part of town.

I guess this is old news. I just saw that yesterday the teens who beat up Big Balls have been released from jail with ankle monitors and a 24-hour curfew. That's not enough for the MAGA commenters. DC police are reportedly "investigating." I hope part of their investigation is whether or not an actual crime was committed.

I signed up for the movie, but I was too exhausted and couldn't sit in a chair, so I rested in bed for a while. I couldn't figure out how to watch it on my phone. When I got up, I felt fine but the movie was half over. Maybe I'll watch it tomorrow night.

I think that the recent findings of extra-solar comets, including 31/ATLAS, 1l/Oumuamua. and 2l/Borisov, isn't so much that these bodies are invading the solar system, but that the solar system has drifted into an area of space where another planetary system once existed several billion years ago only for its star to go supernova, destroying the planetary system.

I expect many more of these extra-solar cometary fragments to be encountered over the next several years at we pass through a planetary graveyard.

I, too, expect many more extra-sour non-commentary fragments to be encountered here at Wonkette over the next several years as we pass through our planetary graveyard.

In a similar vein, there was a song about the "South Side of Philly" that I haven't heard in decades and can't find with my obviously inferior search abilities.

I'll stick to my genuine Arizona Desert Roadkill Varmint Meat™ (You don't know if it's gonna be coyote or road runner until you open the package!)

It has more character and requires less trips to the drug store.

The surprise is that the coyote or roar runner, even after being ground into a pulp, regenerates and jumps out of the box when you open it.

It's just another junk product from Acme.
