K          “Think it is staged.”

J          “Somewhat.  But neither of them are capable of staying on script.”

. . .

K          “Trump dons a red Make America Great Again hat while Musk sports a black Occupy Mars t-shirt.”

J          “King Trump’s crown is an ordinary baseball hat and Minstrel Muskrat’s regal attire is a t-shirt.  They call it ‘cosplay’ because they are play acting their roles in their costumes.”

. . .

J          “All the world is a stage that is now dominated by two stooges.  One is the world’s most powerful man.  The other is the world’s richest man.  America is all about power and money.”

K          “Keep in mind the fundamental truth.  The Problem for decades was overlooked or disregarded.  There is no democracy.  Trump is not an assault on something that does not exist.  Trump is the Symptom of the staggering Problem who has metastasized into another competing Problem.  The last election was between Systemic Problem versus Trump Problem.  Both candidates were stooges in his and her own way.” 

. . .

K          “The show must go on.”

J          “It must not necessarily go on, but it is going to go on.”

Bumper stickers of the week:

“You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.”  Robert A. Heinlein

“For what else is the life of man but a kind of play in which men in various costumes perform until the director motions them off the stage.”  Erasmus, The Praise of Folly (1511).

U.S.A. Escalates Trump’s War With Russia.  Trump’s Budget Turbocharges National Debt (June 2, 2025)

K          “Biden clearly was not in charge.  Trump appears not to be in charge.  The U.S.A. escalated and expanded its war with further charges on and charges dropped on Russia.  The most powerful faction in his fractured administration is committed to war and making the command decisions.”

J          “They are hitting dangerously close to home.” 

K          “They could hit dangerously close to home.”

J          “The fundamental nature of war has changed in two big leaps.  First, the use of drones in the Armenia and Azerbaijan war in 2020 voided so many legacy weapons.  Second, hiding and moving the drones in mobile innocuous appearing civilian vehicles and using them on civilian infrastructure is a game changer.  Technology and technique are rapidly evolving.”

. . .

K          “I could end the war in one (1) day.  Others have not the ken, the courage or the clear vision to craft a solution.  Cease the ISTAR [intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance], no war; continue the ISTAR, war.  The U.S.A. elected to escalate and expand the war.  One profound and effective way to cease the war in under twenty-four (24) hours is to warn the combatants that every deployed missile will be redirected back to land on its point of origin.  And then just do it once.”

J          “They could hit close to home.”

. . .

K          “And then there is the exploding bodaciously bad budget bill.”

J          “At least that action is being done with Congressional approval.”
