Thus far, the resistance has been futile from the northeastern forces. We may need strong reinforcements from the Midwest or the Pacific northwest.

Unfortunately, you are not alone. I don’t have an Advantage plan, but I know a lot of folks who do. And they may be in trouble.

To His Royal Dumfuckness,

The Insurrection Act was meant to _prevent_ an insurrection, not enact it.

That is all.

Not via the government though. He directed citizens to do it. Now he’s trying to do it with government forces.

Today he pissed me off because of his boorishness.

[Trump trashes room on trip, leaves hosts ‘disgusted’](https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/home-and-garden/trump-trashes-room-on-trip-leaves-hosts-disgusted/ss-AA1O2Cjv)

> [I]nsiders say the royal family and their courtiers were left “disgusted” by the condition of Trump’s rooms once he departed. “It was takeout boxes, tanning sprays and hair products everywhere,” a palace source told us. “The bathroom was littered with bottles, the sinks stained, and his bed sheets had been left completely orange from whatever he uses. People were horrified. This was Windsor Castle, not a roadside motel.” Another insider added, “No one could say no to him. If Trump wanted fast food at 2 a.m., the Secret Service would fetch it. The room smelled of fries and fried chicken by morning. For staff who are used to military precision and spotless suites, it was beyond the pale.”

It’s a five-slide slideshow, but it looks like all of the text is included on the first one.

At least, it appears, Diaper Don didn’t shit the sheets (although he did leave them stained).

While I don’t deny that Trump is capable of this, all of the news comes from here:

> **[EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump Left Royal Family 'Disgusted' With State of His Room...](https://radaronline.com/p/donald-trump-fake-tan-hair-royal-family-disgusted-windsor-castle-room/)**
>
> President Donald Trump has left the royal family in shock after leaving Windsor Castle room covered in trash and fake tan.

It’s a tabloid citing anonymous sources. I don’t really trust an entertainment and gossip magazine for news but YMMV.

Hey, it _could_ have ended “ **should be in** volved in bringing the USA back to normalcy after I kick off.”

But I guess that would be unlikely.

In Donald’s opinion, I would guess, the Insurrection Act was “meant” to ensure his continued unobstructed power and occupancy of Mar-a-Lago-North.

I dread the likely revelation that most Americans will shrug at this.

Yeah, there are plenty of well-informed people of good conscience who are (reasonably) horrified by Donald’s Big Insurrection-Act Adventure. But at best they might be a third of the population.

(Can’t help thinking of the immortal quip by Adlai Stevenson:

> Supporter: “Governor, every thinking person will be voting for you”.

> Adlai Stevenson: “Madam, that is not enough. I need a majority.”

But apparently they were not horrified enough to bring themselves to vote. They knew what was at stake but decided to sit it out, more than 6.2 million of them.

The third I was talking about were the people who DID vote to stop Trump. (By voting for Harris, whether or not they were personally enthusiastic about her.)

Also most (all?) of the WC games are not in Boston proper. Foxboro is very much a suburb. I know there was some chatter about Everett having some (or was that if they build the stadium there having them at some future date) but Everett is… not what I would call a suburb even if it technically is.

[Meidas Touch](https://meidasnews.com/news/exclusive-trump-may-launch-missiles-from-warships-into-california-this-friday-and-saturday-as-part-of-vanity-parade-) is reporting that Trump is planning on firing live missiles into the Camp Pendleton, California area, ostensibly to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Navy. It just happens to coincide with the No Kings rallies this weekend.

South of L.A. you have Orange County and San Diego County. In L.A., when I lived there, we referred to Orange County as ‘Reagan Country’ and ‘Behind the Orange Curtain’. I lived in San Diego until I was 15. One morning as a child, we found Nazi newspapers on everyone’s lawn. David Duke, once Grand Wizard of the KKK, lived in San Diego. So it would be great if a whole bunch of Trump voters were ‘inconvenienced’ by closing the 5.

(OTOH, [Politico’s map](https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/california/) shows that all of California’s coastal counties, except for Del Norte County, voted for Harris. Things in SoCal seem to have changed a bit in the last 22 years.)
