Midterm Squirm
One of the worst things is the basic dishonesty of the MAGA operators. The MAGA wing of the Supreme Court has chosen to misinterpret and ignore laws and the Constitution.
They cannot claim to have honestly done their jobs nor fulfilled their oaths of office. There is nothing in the future and no honest interpretation of laws and of what they have done that can change this.
The same is true for many of the legislators in both houses of Congress. They are willfully flouting duties prescribed to them by law and precedent. This is not red or blue or green—they are being fundamentally dishonest. Unfortunately, this dishonesty has somehow commandeered our government. The Founding Fathers never imagined that justices could be so dishonest.
Here’s what will happen next: The Trump regime is going to try to stage a military occupation of the whole country ahead of the midterm elections. Courts and Congress can’t stop them now, especially since the military and security forces take orders from Donald Trump.
If they can’t rig the election enough to ensure staying in power, they will find a way to “postpone” it. I hate this, but we might as well try to prepare ourselves for what is coming.

Right On, Brother
I’d like to second editor Daedalus Howell’s response to Micah D. Mercer (Letters, Aug.13). Any act of creativity during the Trump regime is an act of defiance. Sure, we’ve got to pay attention and respond accordingly. But, remember, you go behind the curtain in Oz, and nobody’s home. Not really.
Outside of his own mind, Donald Trump is a nobody, a non-entity. Don’t let Trump or his flying monkeys suck your soul down the black hole of their charade. Write, sing, dance. Paint, sculpt, do stand-up. Make movies. Trump is the last gasp of a dying aeon. The future is ours.
