 November 5, 2024, The day America's Democracy Was Highjacked By A Demagogue, and Replaced With A Dictatorial Plutocracy Regime.

November 5, 2024 will go down in history as the Presidential election that ushered in a demagogue masquerading as the President of The United States of America, a Nation formerly known and celebrated as a Democratic Nation. That acclaim, of over a short 246  tumultuous years, was null and voided on November 5, when stupid, foolish, greedy, racist, Trumpcultist's, so called 'loyal' American's, cast their ballots and elected the epitome of demagoguery,  their 'cult leader' and false messiah, Donald trump, who eight years prior had then been elected, for a long 4 gut wrenching years then as President by these same foolish, greedy, racist voters, cult following Republicans, and now here in 2024, they raised their empty 'American loving' heads once again while adoring and groveling at the feet of their false messiah. And all across America all that could be heard was tRumpcult members roaring with excitement as they now knew that their worldly troubles were over. And in the background could be heard the gnashing of teeth and the wringing of hands of the other Americans who never dreamed that their democratic America could suddenly, and frightfully be sold to the highest bidder. In the empty heads of the brainwashed tRumper's they were pretty sure that their messiah would share his infinite 'business' knowledge that would make themselves rich, and to be able to live in a debt free racist segregated America, and that he would, while pardoning himself from his own actual felony convictions, absolve Them of their own criminal convictions (members of the cult only please, see Jan.6), their personal and business debts, and short of dying and going to heaven, more likely hell, this was as close as they could get, for now. Happy now with their foolish democracy killing deed, these 'American's' little know that "No good deed goes unpunished". They can't see it at this very moment but after January 2025 when their messiah is officially knighted as the 'Ruler of America", there will be mental turmoil, anguish, and their own gnashing of teeth and wringing of sweaty hands among those same cult members as they discover that they have elected a 'false messiah', and that all the lies and fantastic conspiracy theories spewed by their 'savior' were actual lies after all, and wonder, too late, "WTH did I do?! 

As soon as he is formerly knighted as King, Messiah, and quasi Dictator of his now personal playground, America, trump will embark on a personal and evil crusade of revenge, retribution and purges of his real, perceived, and imaginary enemies. On his list of enemies will be any Republican party member of any station or political position, who foolishly, in his own mind at least, dared to call him out as a dangerous sociopath or simply voted against him. They will slowly 'wither on the vine' and fall into the dust of political history. Also, on his 'hit list' will be any Governor, democrat or republican, of any state that opposed him. Their political 'life' will be short and full of turmoil. Also, on this list, an institution he vocally dislikes, will be any Military General that trump imagines as dangerous to his realm, or refuses illegal orders to become Americas 'police force' against Americas citizens, contrary to our Constitution, he will try Military Court Marshalls first, and if that fails, he will find any other way, legal or not, to purge our standing military of everyone who he imagines as his enemy, and they will soon find themselves in the unemployment line or imprisoned. Also, on his list of purge victims will be any non-republicans who head any federal administration office, no matter how large or small, and will replace them with handpicked tRumpcult members, qualified for the position or not, as long as they are absolute 'yes men' and will follow his every order, legal or not because He can absolve them of their unlawful 'sins'. These positions will be filled with no less than millionaires. He will appoint well known Billionaire conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxer's, closet racists, and known militia antigovernment members to the upper echelon in his cabinet of mini-me's. These will be the dredges of an affluent, self-entitled society that will be in charge, with free hand of our America from A to Z and will be the epitome of 'yes men' who will do as they are ordered by their messiah or experience political and personal doom. There will be few, if any, brave souls left in America's now polluted political system who will dare confront the King lest they lose their crazy heads. The Supreme Court, a useless institution such as it is, already top heavy with tRumpcult members will quickly become a full panel of simple 'yes-men' who will of course follow the orders of their master, Constitution be damned. Federal judges across the land will be handpicked as 'yes-men' or will be replaced. The 'Rule of Law' and the DOJ which enforces that 'rule' will be but a memory. On a state and county level, local county Sheriffs who currently refuse to carry out their sworn duties of enforcing all laws and who fancy themselves as 'protectors' of a constitution they have never even read nor understand, and who are tRumpers as well as closet anti-government militants, will jump for joy now that they will be protected by their messiah. Millions of immigrants will face the real possibility of forced deportation which will adversely affect them, the nation's farming entities and farm goods supply chain. In short, our nation will be thrown into a tumultuous, litigious, and dangerous era that will very well curse America, and the world in general, for decades, more likely forever, to come.

Free Nations that, pre-tRump, counted on America as their own anchor on the worlds tumultuous sea's, will quickly discover that unless they vow their loyalty and their very lives to the new messiah, that they can be, and surely will be, cast aside and delivered summarily to any enemy nation that seeks to invade and conquer. The Free Nation of Ukraine currently under attack by Russia will be cut off from all USA lifesaving military aid unless Ukraine conforms, and curtseys to trumps dictates which will allow Russia to keep any Ukrainian territory illegally taken by them. This will embolden Russia now seeing that America is militarily hobbled, weak and easily duped, to continue the destruction of Ukraine with the assistance of thousands of N. Korean minions, and cross other nations borders in attempt to 'own' that nations land and souls within. Any European nation will be fair game for putin's grab for European dominance. NATO will be left to its own devices in trying without Americas help to stem the onrushing tide of putin's regime that strives to own what putin fancies as his own rightful lands. The rest of the world's evil dictators will see in trump, as he does in them, themselves. All they have to do is compliment trump on his 'stylish' hair-do, or his incredible golfing 'skills', and especially his 'love' of beautiful airheaded women, and they will instantly become his Whitehouse dinner guests, all at America's peril.  Hopefully I will be wrong about some of these above-mentioned scenarios, time will tell, but if past and present world history is any indicator of the 'what-ifs' that Could happen, then America, or as tRump himself has called it, "America is a trash can", is going to  really understand what the phrase, "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it" really means.  


UPDATE: 08-26-2025

                 Well, as much as it pains me to sadly gloat about my predictions made in November 2024, all you have to do is watch the news, read the papers, and pay attention to what Dictator tRump is busily doing as he dismantles America's Constitution, The Rule Of Law, and Human Rights world wide. The American Democratic Party, which stupidly slept through the four years during the Biden administration while insanely thinking the democrats would be a shoe-in, are now lost in the empty space of their own minds as now the 'Republican Cult party' rules the land. tRump now Owns the lawless US Supreme Court, as well as the US Military which he has successfully politized without so much as a whimper from Americans, and turning our soldiers out onto our streets, in violation of our Constitution, taking over our Law Enforcement agencies. Well, there's even more disturbing news, just pay attention to the news. (If there's anyone who even still cares) Sometimes I just hate being right!

     I cry for America. 

I cry for what it was, and for what it has become under the current, and still under construction, quasi militaristic 'dictatorship'.  I cry for our children, our grandchildren, and Their children who will never know, not even in scrubbed 'history' books, museums, and library's, how it was and what it could have been sans this self appointed, lawless, untouchable, entitled felon that a segment of tunnel blind cult followers foolishly traded away our democracy in lieu of a false prophet.  I cry bitter tears knowing that our once proud nation, and the world in general, will Never recover or heal from the terrible damage done by this one singular despotic madman, and that while even the cowards who Could have stopped him, failed in their sworn duty to protect America from what they knew he was about. In abject fear of losing their federal jobs and their potential for garnering millions under his 'kingship' they scurried back under their rocks and became invisible both in voice and sight while their master and cult leader began the destruction and the end 'Law of The Land', 'The Rule of Law', and of our sacred democracy.  I cry for our now shredded, and practically useless, Constitution which our Founding Fathers wisely penned in order to protect America and all Americans, both Aboriginals and Immigrants alike from despotic kings and dictators. Little could they have imaged or even dreamed that their thoughtful democratic endeavors would be shredded by the very evil type of tyrannical, and despotic entity that they strove to prevent in the first place. The American Civil War of 1861-1865 nearly destroyed our nations unity, and but for wiser minds and braver Americans it would have ended then and there. Now, here 160 years later, our nation is being torn apart by a self centered, egotistical madman who cares nothing about 'The Rule of Law' or our Constitution and is bent on becoming, in his own mind, the best 'American dictator' America has ever had. I still have a margin of hope, but I still cry for America.

Hi Buddy!

It's Me, 'Hard scrabble' in New York!

You were probably wondering when you'd hear from me again, and I bet you have worried yourself sick as a dog wondering how I've been. I know I already asked a bunch of questions, and as I mentioned, I have plenty more of'em. But first ya gotta answer some of the ones already asked. Come on already!

Too bad about your dog barfing on your keyboard! I don't have a dog, we sorta had to eat him last winter when we ran out of road kills to eat. But I do have a pet polar bear, I call him/her, not sure which, and I ain't brave enough to check, 'Polar Bear'. I mean, that's what it is right? He ate my keyboard one time. He still hasn't pooped that thing! Do you like Polar Bears? I sure do, even though one time my grandma saw one tearing down the clothesline. She grabbed a broom and ran out to give him his forty whacks.  After about ten of'em, he turned around and ate her. Don't take a broom to a bear fight! Good thing to remember.

I'm so glad you are my virtual buddy, Buddy. I really like having friends! Did I ask if you got your keyboard cleaned up. I sure do wish I'd hear from you. Maybe you could send me airfare, and I could come stay with you for a while. Do you have a nice big couch? Do you like to eat lizards? Can I bring my pet bear with me? He's potty trained. Well, sorta.

Hope to see you soon pal! Hard Scrabble in New York.

 'News' Alert!!

Trump, America's Little Bully (LB), and his list of things to re-name;

  Well, you ask for it folks and here it is in full living color.

#1-"Gulf of Mexico", which by the way you may remember, America stole from Mexico, has, according

to LB carried that name far too long now and will change the name to its victor "The Gulf of America". Take That Mexico!

#2-"Veterans Day", Yep, that one as well. That "Veterans Day" handle is just way to short and simple and so LB with his 'incredible' intellect dug real deep into his hollow cranium and came out with, "Victory Day for World War 1". The heck with all those other 'wars'! His first choice of names was "Trump Victory Day" but then said to no one in particular, "On second thought, I'm much too humble to name something after my infamous self".

#3-"Presidents Day", You guessed it, "Donald Trump, the Magnificent Day". I mean, Afterall, why not!

#4-"Easter", will be known as, "Trump the Immaculate Conception Day", he, being the very epitome of 'religion' feels that 'Easter' has been giving the credit of discovering Jesus to the wrong person.

"Ask Buddy', Installment Number 22


Even for a world renowned problem solver such as 'Dear Buddy', the mind has its limits and must be stored in the 'Imponderables' box.


Dear Buddy,

I know you are likely busy as a one-legged goal kicker, no disrespect in case you really are one, but I have a few imponderables for you to hopefully answer so that I can finally get a good night's sleep.

Is the opposite of 'falling down', you know, like 'falling down a rabbit hole', 'falling up', you know like 'falling up' the stairs? I mean Who does That!? If I'm 'discombobulated' about something, but then I get it, does that mean I'm now 'bobulated'? If someone says, "man, that's some scary shit", should we suppose that he has actually Seen some "shit" that Wasn't 'scary'?? I have heard folks say, "Well, he's showed up like a bad penny", are 'penny's' Really that 'bad'? Wait! I have just one more Buddy, If the world isn't really flat, then why don't they make maps round like a beach ball". Thanks in advance Buddy, you are my answer guru! 

'Imponderable' in Grassy Creek, Ga.


Dear Imponderable,

 Your questions describe you well. While I 'ponder' your imponderables perhaps you should find a safe sleep aid, then smack your noggin with a #4 ball peen hammer, use the small, rounded end. When you eventually wake up things will look a little different to you. Keep the ball peen close by in the likely event you should 'somehow' think of another imponderable that could keep you from getting your forty winks. Don't worry, I'll call You. Really. I'm not kidding this time. Buddy.

'Ask Buddy' Installment Number 21

   'Ask Buddy'  Installment Number 20


Folks from far and wide, to the near and narrow, can get themselves into a pickle of a jam, and need expert advice on how to un-jam themselves. That's the job of a professional 'Advice Giver' and now lets dive into the problems of of the self induced.


Hi Buddy,

I feel like I already know you! I'm counting on you to help me out of some self-induced financial doldrums which are not caused by me personally, but by people who just don't connect with my problems. So, as you can imagine, it's not Me, it's Them. Where do I begin. When I was 12, I somehow, probably by my pushy fathers doings, I held a respectable job as a newspaper carrier. That worked out well, in my opinion, for a few weeks until unfounded whines from customers expecting too much, got me kicked out of the newspaper work force. Does it really matter at what time of day you get your paper?? I most always, well occasionally anyway, delivered them before midnight but seems like people liked getting the news while they are still awake. See what I mean about whinners?  I was really traumatized by the failure of people to expect more of me than they actually deserve! I'm the one who 'richly deserves' things in life and get all that's coming to me! So, as you can imagine, I haven't actually 'worked' since then, but now while still freeloading in my parents house, at 42 I am self-sufficient by getting government, and other social subsidies, and I don't even have to get dressed and leave my freeloader house and listen to other failures at life whinners. It's a lot of work but somebodies gotta do it, right? If it ain't Me, it'd be someone else.  Anyway, I'm sure you can understand my plight. Buddy, what I need most right now is 2 new inboard engines for my 46' yacht. Word to the wise here, don't use olive oil as a motor oil substitute! Talk about engine freeze-up!! But who knew, right?  Well, I can't figure out how to get a subsidy for new engines here! Wouldn't you think someone would have figured this out by now? That's where You come in Buddy. You seem like a wise and cleaver money maker solving other folks' problems, so could you please help me get those darn engines, and a case of motor oil, so that I can continue my cruise? I'll even trade a few money-making subsidy tips with you! Folks like 'us' gotta stick together, right?

Thanks in advance, 'Stuck In Tahiti'


Dear 'Stuck',

First, look up the definition of 'presumptuous'. Now let's deal with your self induced 'problems'. Does the term, 'Social sponge' ring a bell with you? Anyway, I'll be happy to get you what you richly 'deserve'. Here's what you should do to get 'what's coming' to you. I'm just guessing here that you know more than a few street life sponges that can produce underground paperwork. Find one that can produce some believable government identification, driver's license, SS number, and even a passport, under an assumed name that you can easily remember how to pronounce and spell without looking at it. Using a last name as 'Smith' always works really well. Now with all this 'official' paperwork go to a small bank in another town and open a checking account using the 'home' address of a vacant lot but with a mailing address of a real P.O. Box. They'll issue some real checkbooks, and they will mail those checkbooks to your new P.O. Box. Once you get those checkbooks you are on your way to fame. Now, with some of your spare 'sponge' money, make some deposits via US Mail to your new bank account. You are now setting them up to subsidize your lifestyle! Soon, you'll be using Their money instead of your own. Now, let them get used to you depositing money, withdrawing some now and then, and being a 'good' customer. Soon, you'll be able to get some 'home improvement' cash loans which of course you'll use for your new engines. They'll 'never' know. Really. They don't even pay attention to small details like that. Now, you can get some more 'made-up' Identifications and open accounts at other banks in other towns where you can get other loans to subsidize your rich and famous lifestyle. Remember to always use the US Mail because they will 'always' keep your stuff 'secret'. You can always 'trust' the government. After all of this you will be on your way to eventually getting exactly what You, "richly deserve", and get all that's "coming" to you in life! Keep me posted on how things 'work out' for you.

Lottsa luck 'Stuck', you certainly need it!

Buddy.

 'Ask Buddy' Installment number 20


Dear Buddy,

Hi Buddy! This is 'Friendless In Point Barrow Alaska', I bet you remember me, I wrote to you a while back, remember I told you that I still live with my parents, remember? Well, you gave me your special, friends only phone number, 123-456-7890, and told me to call you anytime and that you would help me with my problem. Since then my thankless parents have become absolutely unbearable to live with and they refuse to move out. They are retired and just lay around the house, also they refuse to get a job to help me buy a new land Rover. I mean, how am I supposed to get to the convenience store!? It's a good two blocks away and my parents told me to take a hike! Not even sure what that Is! I am at my limited wits end! I just get no respect around here!  I need your help Buddy! I have called the 'special number' you gave me so many times now that I can almost remember it by heart, but it just rings, and rings, and rings, and rings but no one answers my calls, ever! I did the special secret code that you gave me but still no answer. You must be very busy helping folks like me to solve their problems. I wish I could be more like you Buddy, always ready to stand up and be counted as a helpful human being! But, How is it that you have time to answer Their calls but not Mine, I just don't get it Buddy. I thought we were friends. I just don't get it.  Waiting for help in Point Barrow, your friendless friend forever.



Dear 'Friendless In Point Barrow',

Ooopps, my error 'Friendless'. Looks like I left out an important step when dialing my secret, special number, so here it is. I will write it reaaall slowww forrr youuu...This number only works on a 1942 military rotary dial field phone, the type used on submarines. Remember those? It was always kept right next to the screen door. See, that's why my number is so special, not to mention 'secret'. Now, with that phone, which you can find only at your local Wally World Superstore in the sports section. They will tell you that they no longer have the phone in stock, when in fact they really do, but you must have the special secret password so that they will know that you are 'for real', and not some crackpot off the street or perhaps a lost foreign spy. Now remember this, you must write it on your forehead with a water proof marker so that you don't forget it! The password is; "LAER ROF'. Now say it over and over and over again until you can remember it, but be sure to write it on your forehead so that they can actually see it as you say it out loud to them.  Then, no matter what they tell you, follow their instructions to the T. Good luck Friendless, talk to you 'soon'.
