When lions are led by donkeys, some say the lion refused an order by the donkey yesterday.

An American tune Paul Simon

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home
I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees
Oh, but it's alright, it's alright
For we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
And we come on the ship they call The Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hours
And sing an American tune
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest

Many Republicans have more in common with Mormon wives and underage little girls who are gradually hypnotized inside a realm of anxiety to submit and obey than they currently realize. Waking up to their own critical thinking is tough when being woke is described as being evil.

My experience of being a hypnotist and how easy it is to cause a person to behave in unlikely ways is my experience so I don't expect others to see things from my perspective.

Recovery from such brainwashing requires seeing the lies, being separated from the believers, and time to self examine themselves.
This does not absolve them from any crimes they committed while under the influence, but it does restore and reset their broken minds.

Not everyone will recover.

Verily, Donuel: the whole boiling mess has the cult nature. I've separately seen a reference today to "the Banana Republic(an) party", which in turn suggests "cargo cult politics" .... which both big parties in the USSA appear to be guilty of.

There's two full articles in The New World last week (issue 477, 2nd April) which are relevant. The first, entitled "How MAGA ate itself", details the chronic splits and playground-language spats at the alleged top of the MAGA movement, which suggest that the almighty cat fight that I predicted over the succession is already under way, and has been for years.

The second, with the disturbing headline "Trump's all your fault", includes:

Many believe that ideological uniformity is strength and that in the face of rising authoritarianism, the last thing you do is open the door to disagreement. But institutions that cannot tolerate internal dissent are the least equipped to fight it externally.

.... I'll leave it there awhile.

I agree Donuel. An excellent analogy.

I also suspect that the act of dropping a midnight F-bomb could be more of a wake-up call to many MAGA supporters, especially the Christian supporters - even more of a wake-up call than dropping a real bomb on a school and killing 160 or more schoolgirls.

The Vatican diplomat was called to the Dept. of 'Defense' and was informed that the military power of the US will do what it wants, and the Pope had better get on board.

After threatening the Pope, the Pope had a brief statement for Americans to contact their representatives.

He goes from bad to worse ~ but no he is the one in step and everyone else is wrong

Big T is falling out with everyone ~ he is not a good President and remember at every turn he is NOT USA ~ the post is only for his term and he has taken US and its economy and wealth into a dark place

He is not a president of the people ~ he is a president of money, and misused power

Netanyahu is Netanyahu and not Israel

War has broken out throughout the Middle East due to his illegal actions

High time the alarm clock bell went off

Of course, a narcissist sees everyone as an enemy except those willing to grovel at his feet or stroke his ego.

Currently, the nations on Trump's shit list are the UK, Germany, Spain, France, Iran, and Canada. A gold star goes to Hungary, Russia, North Korea, and Venezuela.

We have a coalition of narcissists in charge, which produces the most inept, incompetent, and arrogant decisions.

btw the last leader to threaten the Pope was Hitler.

Surprise. The Mandarin Candidate* has noticed that monies are due to pay for Bibi's special military operation; so, with the leaden inevitability of a cut-price zombie movie, behold the disinterred 33-and-a-third^†:

White House seeks deep NASA cuts as Artemis II breaks spaceflight record

[...] Reaction has been swift and grim. One source close to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) told The Register the budget proposal was as "dismal as expected," and that "JPL is hoping that Congress will again dismiss it. We can only hope."

The Planetary Society was blunter in its response, saying: "This proposal needlessly resurrects an existential threat to US leadership in space science and exploration." [...]

As usual, the Comments have some constructive proposals:

Get Trump to declare war against the Clangers
But the first step is to find them so NASA will need a lot of budget to build a moon base from which we can search for them.

The Clangers are safe, they have a tactical Soup Dragon that can be deployed against any attackers

* Not my coinage.
† Not my coinage either. I blame John Peel.

The Fat, Ugly, Orange Toddler isn’t interested in the space programme because he can’t claim to be personally responsible for its successes.

Can't he? he's stolen credit for everything else that happens to have come to fruition on his watch, as is traditional for US Presidents. (There's a plaque on the Moon somewhere with Richard M Nixon's name on it.) That's why NASA are tasked with getting boots on the regolith before he date-expires --- *that*'s when he'll steal credit for it; and that's also why (as mentioned in the linked article) funding for Exploration is to be increased. He's just a tad preoccupied at the moment, 's all.
