I

was there. June 6th, 1944. D-Day. Yeah. I landed with the 29th Infantry Division in the first wave at Omaha Beach. Our job was to clear the way of obstacles for DD Tanks, so we could punch through and get everyone out of there. Well, we landed, and we were immediately hit by mortar and machine gun fire that tore us to pieces. I can still see it in my dreams. The one thing that really stuck out to me in the early morning hours of June 6th, 1944. I looked around at my brothers in arms and suddenly realized there was absolutely no trans representation. My best friend was lying there dead. His body was full of holes from an MG 40 to a machine gun. Up there on the hill. Biological male. Big surprise. Three others from our platoon never made it out of the Higgins boat. Mortar round. Boom! Again, three more biological males. A captain was decapitated by another mortar round. Yeah. Yeah, you guessed it. Another biological male. I am so ashamed. In hindsight, this was the reality of America in 1944. You mean to tell me they couldn't go out and find some trans men or trans women so as to make the largest amphibious invasion in history? You know, they didn't even try. In the trenches, in the on the hedgerows, you know that there was a lot of guy talk talking about how much we missed the dames back home. They say boys will be boys, but maybe they won't be. Maybe they'll be dames one day. I realize that now.

My fellow Americans,

It is with great pleasure that I announce Pride Month has been officially cancelled. Pride, after all, is a sin, not a virtue, and we will no longer participate in the celebration of deliberate moral inversions.

From now on, June will be known as Confidence Month. Or maybe just... June. We’ll see. Either way, it’ll be a time to reflect on real accomplishments. Things actually worth celebrating.

And look, I hate to be the one to say it, but putting a wiener in a butt doesn't qualify as a national achievement. It’s not brave, it’s not historic, and frankly, it’s not hygienic.

They say "love is love," but let’s not kid ourselves: poop is still poop.

Things fall apart; the center cannot hold,

Morals dissolve where once the flag was bold.

Anarchy whispers not from the fringe, but the core,

The taxpayer hears the taxman no more.

The best lack conviction, their voices restrained,

While the worst burn cities and torch Tesla chains.

Some rough ideology, born of pride and spite,

Slouches toward tomorrow, cloaked in moral right.

President Donald Trump AKA "Hitler," has just become the first fascist in the history of humankind to use his despotic authoritarian powers to reduce the size of the government.

While most other fascist leaders throughout history have used their power to increase the scope of government influence in their respective countries, Trump has broken with tradition to become the very first fascist with a focus on dismantling his own government's overreaches.

"Only time will tell, but Trump must have something extremely nefarious up his sleeve if he's doing his fascism by making government smaller," said Lee Glyde-Jennings, who teaches several advanced classes on the history of fascism at Harvard. "It's entirely unlike every other fascism in history to this point — I'm just waiting to see exactly how he's going to wind up instituting a fascist dictatorship by carefully picking apart the government bureaucracy."

Several Democrats had also warned that Trump with access to the nuclear codes would soon start World War III by making peace with other nations.

Key takeaways:

The refusal to self-reflect mocks the performative, tone-deaf approaches to winning voters and also illustrates the disconnect between political elites and ordinary people. It's more important to be right(eous) than to win support.
