J          “It sounds mega.  It sounds big.  That seems to be what counts today.  Big.  Size.  Crowds.  Noise.  Spectacle.”

. . .

K          “The emerging MEGA movement has a mega responsibility.”

J          “Is it really emerging?  Is it even moving?  Who really cares?  Will anyone work through the notion that America is an Empire and needs to address the consequences and responsibilities?  Some untidy shenanigans are expected of every country, yet now may be a time to reflect on the duties and limits and parameters of being the Hegemon.”

K          “It may not be emerging yet.”

. . .

K          “It is related to the MAAA movement.”

J          “So it is still time to Make America America Again [MAAA] and also to Make (the) Empire Good Again [MEGA]?”

K          “It is time to do something.  We don’t want to dump 250 years of seeking ‘Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness’ down the drain.”

Tearing Down The East Wing; Tearing Down Western Mores; Tearing Down MAGA.  Trump Is The Swamp.  Oh, And Happy Armistice Day! (November 10, 2025)

J          “Tear down the East Wing, tear down Western Mores.”

K          “As I firmly contend, the ‘Symptom’ of the ‘Problem’ has become a ‘Big Problem’ for the country and the planet.  I note to adherents and disciples of the Problem that their candidates and actual policies are the Problem that spawned our current circumstances.  They look dumbfounded because the observation finds them dumb to their predicament.”

. . .

J          “Starve the populace.  That is a nice touch going into the giving of thanks and the mass for a Big Thinker.  Without bread, the circus may not suffice.”

K          “After the election, I noted to some folks that his election delayed the revolution for perhaps four years.  Now I wonder if he will elect to trigger it within the next four weeks.”

. . .

K          “The few positive aspects of MAGA – reigning in the wars, respect for the First Amendment, regard for civil rights, responsible spending on America and Americans – have been discarded by Trump.  Trump is the Swamp.”

J          “Trump is the Swamp.  Some of the MAGAts are angry and just may manifest their restiveness in restfulness.”

. . .

J          “Here be dragons.”
