Humor about Trump has escalated fast and is a very initial primary attack on Trump’s rampant fascism!
Until it becomes blatantly disabling to enough voters, unwitting voters might not realize how dangerous it is now.
Two perfect avenues to initial enlightenment could have been attained in an hour on Saturday March 23rd by watching the Bill Maher show at 8PM on CNN and the “Have I Got News For You” which followed at 9PM. Scary but fabulous TV.
How Fast Do Enough of Us Wake Up to A Fascist? We had better catch Trump while he can still be caught before further destroying our democracy!
Remember his defying the judge before sending those Venezuelans home? Well we learn that “Venezuela to resume repatriation of migrants after deal with US, official says”.
Read that story in full here.
"We have agreed with the U.S. government to resume the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants with an initial flight tomorrow, Sunday," said Jorge Rodríguez, president of Venezuela's Assembly and Maduro's chief negotiator with the U.S.https://t.co/79lHFVIyN5

From London this headline: “Justice Roberts tells Trump to stop threatening judges (what did he think would happen?)”
Read the full story here from the March 18th article by The Critical Mind in Daily Kos.

Finally read this March 4th op ed article from the Washington Post by Catherine Rampell entitled “How to lose the 21st century, in three easy steps” with the subtitle, “Trump is throwing away what could have been the next great American century.”
It begins:
More than anything else, President Donald Trump loves winning. Yet he has already positioned America to lose the 21st century, in three simple steps:
Alienate your friends.
Destroy your business environment.
Slaughter your golden goose (i.e., science and research).Trump most vividly demonstrated Step 1 with his Oval Office tantrum against a war-torn ally. But it also includes his gratuitous insults of our friends; abrupt termination of programs tackling global public health menaces (including some that the United States caused); and threats to punish our closest trading partners, with no clear objective.
All that soft power the United States accumulated over the past century is vaporizing. This means no friends to support us against our adversaries, whether rogue nations or terrorist groups. Ticking off our allies also means ticking off some of our best customers, who will turn to economic competitors. In some cases, these customers are outright boycotting U.S. products.

The staggering ineptitude of Trump’s predictable fascist agenda mounts daily, but stopping him is far from over. And that isn’t humorous, Folks.
