@The_Dogebags today has Pete Hegseth going to Iran as Darth Vader, complete with a light saber, alluding to the lack of alternative strategies yielding any kind of results for objectives that (in any case) have never been spelled out. Trump plays the golfing Pope.
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

New strategy! Send Pete (Darth Vader) Hegseth to Iran with a light saber and a golf club. Why not? Nothing else seems to be working. @The_Dogebags Meanwhile Uncle Don stays home with his putter and his papal miter, plotting to get richer at everyone else's expense.

@The_Dogebags today deals with the arrest of James Comey for posting a photo of beach stones on social media. They spell out 8647 - supposedly encouraging violence against #Trump, the 47th president. Captain Queeg levels of paranoia? bbc.com/news/articles/…
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

In Trump's America, what happens when you collect beach glass and build sand castles and make art in the sand? YOU GET ARRESTED! As James Comey discovered when posted this photo on social media. google.com/url?sa=t&sourc… Captain Queeg levels of paranoia

@The_Dogebags today parodies the state visit by King Charles and Queen Camilla. Brits hope Trump will be nice to them now - wishful thinking. The only way that happens is to keep jumping when #Trump whistles. #StateVisit #RoyalVisit
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

Well, we've done that dirty little job for the British government, thank God it's over with, says King Charles to Queen Camilla, in @The_Dogebags today. Meanwhile the royal wannabes in Washington were pink with excitement at having a REAL KING in their midst! #RoyalVisit

It's International Workers' Day and @The_Dogebags returns to the farm, where problems with inflation and ICE raids have increased prices and removed farm workers. They're struggling, more than ever. Happy May Day
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

It's International Workers' Day folks! So today @The_Dogebags reprises our farmer couple, whose problems with inflation and ICE raids are WORSE THAN EVER thanks to the #IranWar‌ (mongering) and the racist actions of the Trump Administration. Happy May Day 🤬

Yet another would-be assassin tried to get at Trump, this time (almost) breaching security at the White House Correspondent's Association dinner. @The_Dogebags today looks at what might have happened.
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

Is it a Human? Is it a Royal? It's a Royal Human Shield! Because where Trump goes, there go the assassin's bullets. And he must protect himself AT ALL COSTS! Including hiding himself behind the King. In @The_Dogebags today.

@nytimes reports that @SecNavPhelan couldn't deliver @realDonaldTrump battleship in 2 yrs, so FIRED! Now it's time to announce the new #Trump-class aircraft carrier! And since so many expensive weapons are being depleted in Iran, we need more! (not health care, housing, food aid)
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

After all the excitement of the Trump-class battleship it must be getting time to announce the new #Trump-class aircraft carrier! And since so many expensive weapons are being depleted in Iran, we need a lot more! (not health care, housing, food aid, no) - WEAPONS!

Todd Blanche is Acting U.S. Attorney General and wants the job so much that "he’s going all in on Trump’s retaliation agenda to prove it" according to The @guardian newspaper theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int… Speculation rages - @The_Dogebags today ventures some guesses.
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

Speculation rages on the next Attorney General, whoever that might be. They will replace Pam Bondi, enough of a Trump lapdog to strike fear into the hearts of those who believe in the rule of law. But not enough to keep her job. In @The_Dogebags today ventures some guesses.

In @The_Dogebags today the Israel Defense Forces are emptying the shelves in a gun shop in small-town America. They need top-ups as their supply is running low. So many massacres, so few guns. But indiscriminate killings in its neighborhood don't make Israel stronger, but weaker.
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

The Israel Defense Forces need A LOT of weapons! How else are they going to continue genocidal activities? Here the IDF are in small-town America, in one of the corner hi-caliber gun shops found in every small town, for top-ups. @The_Dogebags #IDF #Israelmassacre

This post from @The_Dogebags today brutally satirizes #Trump's obsession with war and everyone else's obsession with prices at the gas pump. Forgotten - the destruction and death they leave in their wake.
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

Ceasefire time again! #Trump and his SecDef take advantage by visiting the school they destroyed (and dozens of lives) - they visit for a selfie! And we always have to remember, IT'S ALL ABOUT GAS PRICES! In @The_Dogebags today.

We never have to wait long for the next mass shooting. @The_Dogebags sends thoughts to the Shreveport family involved in the latest killing, involving multiple children. A domestic disturbance gone horribly awry because a mentally disturbed man had access to guns.

Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem have been ousted - that means Washington leadership is all male again (and mostly white). @The_Dogebags is celebrating with The Weather Girls song It's "Reigning" Men! Go on, sing along, here it is on Youtube. youtube.com/watch?v=l5aZJB…

Today's surprise - #Trump has a new negotiating tactic. He's going to offer #Iran a choice between 3 doors, each with a (potentially deadly) surprise behind them! All livestreamed! What FUN!!! (after the late Monty Hall's "Let's Make a Deal") from @The_Dogebags

A lot has been said about #Trump's vow to wipe out an entire civilization. But we haven't heard from military leadership. Today @The_Dogebags listens to what those with sanity are thinking in the #Pentagon.
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

Trump vowed to wipe out an entire civilization (he meant the Persian one we think), which would then never return. He wouldn't allow that to happen. Once wiped out, you have to stay wiped out. Today @The_Dogebags listens to what those with sanity are thinking in the #Pentagon.

This from @The_Dogebags today after #Trump posted an AI image of himself as the Pope. "the first narcissist warmonger #pope of the modern era. His presence soothes, his touch heals, his wisdom unites. If only the rest of us could understand."
The Dogebags@The_Dogebags

All the many ways Donald I deserves our prayers and adulation, as the first narcissist warmonger #pope of the modern era. His presence soothes, his touch heals, his wisdom unites. If only the rest of us could understand. @The_Dogebags today.
