Power Grab and America’s Checkmate?

[Even O. Keel]

We thought the circus was bad when Trump first stomped into the Oval Office in 2016, but don’t kid yourself—this time, he’s not just playing president. He’s gearing up to crown himself king. The GOP clawed their way to 218 House seats, locking down Congress and handing Trump and his MAGA cronies the keys to the entire, twisted kingdom. With a Republican Senate firmly in their pocket, what’s left? Oh, that’s right—the Supreme Court, already transformed into a fortress of MAGA dogma. Come January, it’s checkmate. American democracy is on its knees.

You thought he was bluffing? Making himself untouchable, hanging on for life? He laid out his plans clear as day, but you laughed. Smirked. Assumed he was just blowing smoke. Newsflash: he wasn’t. He’ll sit that gilded throne until his last breath, and when it comes time to pass the scepter, he’ll slide it right into Junior’s hands or some other such nefarious being. We’re not dealing with a presidency anymore—it’s a full-fledged regime. Welcome to the dynasty.

Trump’s latest victory lap is a macabre parade, and it starts with the GOP’s wafer-thin House majority—barely enough to rubber-stamp every grotesque policy in his “America First” arsenal. Mass deportations? Check. Loyalty purges? Absolutely. A tailor-made economy to fatten the pockets of his inner circle while punishing dissenters? Oh, you bet. Congress? Marching in lockstep. The Democrats? Powerless, gasping for air like an afterthought as MAGA’s wave crashes over Capitol Hill.

Then there’s Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump’s lapdog with a burning conservative agenda. He’s vowed to take a “blowtorch” to the government—gut it, torch it, leave ashes behind. The House will dance to Trump’s dirge, with Johnson as the conductor of a scorched-earth symphony. Retribution is served à la carte. Matt Gaetz, scandal magnet and loyal foot soldier, is set to be attorney general because apparently, a rap sheet peppered with FBI investigations is now a job qualification.

The Senate? Freshly adorned in GOP victories and ready to rubber-stamp every Cabinet post and bench warmer Trump throws their way. Even those who once whispered discontent have fallen to their knees. Mitch McConnell’s replacement, John Thune, crooned praises to Trump from the Senate floor, as if their past grudges never existed. The era of Republican resistance is over. Six feet under.

Don’t call this just another administration—it’s a hostile takeover. Trump’s plans include purging “woke” generals, reshaping the military to fit his grotesque vision, and ruling by fiat. His Cabinet? A collection of sycophants, zealots, and extremists eager to shatter every last check and balance standing in his way. The final act of a slow-motion coup playing out before our eyes.

And here we are, stuck watching this grim descent like helpless spectators. The media covers it, but it’s all too clear: this isn’t politics anymore. Trump’s cards are on the table, and America’s future is dangling by a frayed thread. The leaders have become interchangeable, the evils lesser and lesser until only the darkest one remains. But let’s be clear—this regime doesn’t end unless we rip it apart ourselves.

The game is over. Trump won’t leave office; he’ll carve a dynasty in his image. And don’t think for a second that this happened in a vacuum. No, this is on the heads of America’s own citizenry, the voters who thought flirting with authoritarianism was some daring, edgy thrill. This isn’t a game anymore. The curtain rises on a brutal reality, and there’s no applause when democracy takes its last gasp. Every vote cast for tyranny, every turned blind eye—this is on you. Welcome to the new order, your new, grim reality.

I usually don't like doing this but I thought this deserved a special epilogue just for you 70 million poor ignorant shits that voted for Trump who thought this was a rebels innocent play, a game. Well, wake up call...

...here’s a bitter glimpse at your future. Spoiler alert: it’s a feast of your own making, but you’re not invited to sit at the table. Expect the gilded promises of greatness to trickle down in the form of tax breaks for the ultra-rich, a shredded safety net, and public services gutted so thoroughly you’d think it was a bonfire party. Health care? It’s a luxury now, so best start rationing those pills. Jobs? Sure, there’ll be some—if you like working harder for less in a crumbling economy rigged for corporate kings.

Your communities will bear the brunt of the “great reshaping.” Infrastructure projects halted, education reduced to a playground for private interests, and “law and order” on full display in the form of militarized force bearing down on dissenters. Meanwhile, Trump’s cronies will be feasting, their bellies fat with the spoils you handed them on a platter of ignorance and fear.

Let’s not kid ourselves—the regime will need scapegoats. Immigrants, the “disloyal,” the poor themselves—prepare to see the blame hurled down from gilded towers as they hold court over your destitution. Every lie sold to you is a chain tightening around your neck. Every time you cheered as he dismantled protections for the vulnerable, you applauded your own demise.

And while you’re gasping for air under the weight of your new reality, remember this: it’ll be the ones who didn’t bow to your king who’ll be fighting to drag this country back from the brink. If there’s any salvation to be found, any last shred of freedom to clutch, it won’t be by your hand—it’ll be theirs. If they can now that your vote has thoroughly fucking wrecked it. Bottom line this may very well take a Declaration of Independence.

I ridicule Biden just as much as I do Trump and all the rest. There are no safe politicians be they dem, rep, ind, whatever. They are all fair game to me and my writing. I try to follow in the footsteps of Charlie Hebdo when it comes to commentary. There are no honest politicians and they all want to be king and they all want power and wealth so when i pick on Trump it is just he was fair game that moment. Pelosi or Schumer or Biden or Harris, Putin the king of England their prime minister and the Chinese and north Korean leaders are all fair game. In my books not one of them is worthy of the job they applied for or stole. The whole stinking lot of them or a fucking mess. Here's an example:

Gamer Ass Biden Promised to Protect Old Forests. Here’s How That Promise Got Buried in a Heap of Logging Deals.

Credit to ProPublica for this bombshell, because what’s unfolding in America’s forests is nothing short of a betrayal dressed up in climate rhetoric. Let’s roll back to 2022 when Joe Biden stood among Seattle’s towering Douglas firs and cherry blossoms, pen in hand, grandly announcing that he’d protect our nation’s “lungs”—the ancient forests that suck carbon from the air and slow our march toward environmental doom. He called them “our planet’s lungs” and signed an executive order to safeguard mature and old-growth trees on federal lands. It was the kind of grand, hopeful spectacle we’ve come to expect on Earth Day—a shiny promise that things were about to change.

Fast forward two years, and the vile rot beneath the bark becomes clear. In Roseburg, Oregon, at a federal timber auction, the promise of preservation was as thin as the paper it was printed on. Behind closed doors marked “qualified bidders only,” timber industry reps eagerly eyed the Blue and Gold forest—a patch of southern Oregon’s Coast Range that absorbs more carbon per acre than almost anywhere else on Earth. With the stroke of a pen and a gavel, the first 561 acres of this rare ecosystem, brimming with trees that have stood for centuries, were sold off for a cool $4.2 million. Biden’s executive order? Paused, then quietly forgotten when profits came knocking.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which reports to Biden—at least until Trump takes over in January—is plowing ahead with logging projects across the West. They’re cutting down nearly 47,000 acres of public land. So much for the grand Biden climate action. Analysis by Oregon Public Broadcasting and ProPublica lays it bare: under Biden’s watch, the chainsaws haven’t slowed; they’ve sped up.

This isn’t just about trees. It’s about broken promises, corporate greed, and the cost we all pay when political theater replaces real change. Environmental activists are fighting this tooth and nail, suing the BLM time and again. And they keep winning in court—but for how long?

Take the Blue and Gold forest. The BLM claims it’s a “multi-use” agency, balancing logging with conservation. That’s code for “profit comes first.” Their own wildlife surveyor, Erich Reeder, recently retired after decades of service, walked these forests and saw the truth: towering, old-growth trees mislabeled as younger, expendable timber. This isn’t conservation. It’s systematic destruction, justified by faulty data and bureaucratic double-talk.

The stakes? Endangered species like the marbled murrelet and spotted owl lose their dwindling habitat. Carbon that’s been locked away for centuries is released back into the atmosphere. The soil dries out, windstorms knock down the weakened trees that remain, and forests once dense with life are turned into tinderboxes waiting to ignite.

Biden’s executive order had the potential to change all of this. But “potential” means nothing without action, and the BLM chose to see it as little more than a suggestion. Instead of halting logging, they’ve rushed to put more timber up for sale. Instead of comprehensive environmental reviews, they’ve settled for shortcuts. Meanwhile, conservation groups are stretched thin, trying to keep up with the sheer number of projects that need fighting as Biden sits on his hands doing zip.

The cynicism is thick. This isn’t just about Biden, though he’s got plenty to answer for. Promises were made. Forests, and the people fighting for them, are paying the price for every broken word. Guess it doesn’t matter who’s playing king of the White House these days—just interchangeable parts in a machine built to break promises. Lesser of two evils and all that.

I agree there are nom safe politicians but claiming he wants to be king or a dictator or is a nazi or white supremist etc is wrong

Did you notice he has mentioned a third term? In your opinion does the constitution allow this?

 

[Randomguy]

I ridicule Biden …

you use “steal” too liberally. The only person in our modern history who attempted to steal presidency was Trump.

IMO the people who use “both sides” arguments are part of the problem. They do this either intentionally or unintentionally, the former a much more serious sin.

 

[Randomguy]

I agree there are nom safe politicians but claiming he wants to be king or a dictator or is a nazi or white supremist etc is wrong

Please provide a quote where someone seriously and specifically and intentionally accused him of being a Nazi. You are being dishonest here.

Its happened before . but that was a different time and we have the 22 amendment .

Before the 22nd Amendment, presidents could run for more than two terms—but George Washington set a strong precedent that no other previous president had managed to overcome.

Truth be known every single person who is or tries to be President has an idea they might like to be ruler of the world. Trump is no new ideology in this psychopathic arena. Lets face it the psych types who run for political positions are on the whole egotistical nut bags and all power hungry and all greedy shits. Can't trust not one of them. I'm quite sure Biden and Harris as well as Clinton and Bush and Reagan and Nixon and the rest all deep down never wanted to give up their kingship. When I say he or she or they would like to be king and never leave office its because my personal opinion is every last one of them would like nothing more. They may not say it but it's there none the less. My faith in Biden and Harris and Trump and all of them is equal. I don't trust one last stinking one of them as far as I can toss em. I am not disappointed or pleased that anyone lost or won I am equally fucking disgusted with all of them. I write to show my equal disgust across the political spectrum.

Well why dont you tell me how he would accomplish this ?

 

[Randomguy]

Do you think it was constitutional when it happened with fdr?

And do you think it is constitutional for Trump?

 

[Even O. Keel]

Well why dont you tell me how he would accomplish this ?

I'm quite sure he can't just like none of them could. Doesn't mean they all don't think about it and would like it though. Nah. They're all pathetic. Republican's, democrat's, independents, liberals, conservative's you name it one and all worthless as tits on a bore hog. Just my opinion of course.
