'Ugly American: Onward Christian Boot Camps, War Crimes, Rape'

"As a baleful Cabinet of Horrors coalesces, up next to run our vast military is 'perfect Trump World monster' Pete Hegseth, a creepy, philandering, 'inordinately unqualified' White Nationalist facing charges of drunken sexual assault. There's also his rabid Zionism, dodgy isolationism - a 'globalist U.N' - zeal for war crimes and Christo-fascist call for a new 'American crusade' against heathens, aka us: 'God wills it.' The goal: the launch of a Christian 'educational insurgency' to take back America. Nothing to see here."

"Like we needed it, Monday offered 'more proof we live in Hell' when special counsel Jack Smith moved to dismiss the two most egregious charges against this country's most egregious criminal - the theft of both an election and a motherlode of classified documents. In a straight, sorry line from Nixon/Watergate, Reagan/Iran-Contra, Bush/imaginary WMDs, thus will Trump likely avoid any real consequences for his many appalling transgressions, at least in this life. Many are blaming a too-meek Merrick Garland for our latest 'Mueller isn't coming' moment - his too little/ too late, his fear of appearing 'partisan' or impolite when facing off against 'a live grenade' - but we'd say it stems more deeply from the inviolability of our criminal master class, and of course a fascist-themed, Trump-rigged SCOTUS that protects them. (Thanks again, friggin' Susan Collins.)"
