I'm not certain "liking" this post works. Where's the "disgusted by the thought of this?" Option?

I’m with you. Substack options fall waaaay short here.

Yeah, there need to be both Disgusted and Barf options, to be able to cover the range of reactions to the daily Trump outrages..

Made the mistake of checking in on Facebook. The negate are thrilled with the alligator Auschwitz. This will be right up their alley. I'm sick, enraged and disheartened

Doug, The satire is probably more reality than fiction. Daily disgust is my norm with the Trump regimen. Trump voters I hold you accountable.

Degrading the White House - Trump style? Why not honestly (oh, never mind - that’s impossible for you) assess the demeaning of that glorious house Barrack Hussein O and Biden brought down upon it. No comparison.

Like your thoughts of forcing immigrants into the ring, my first thought upon hearing Trump’s announcement of a cage fight for our entertainment was the fictionalized Mandingo fights in the film “Django Unchained.” Truly disgusting to imagine this will happen.

Borrowing from one of my reader's comments and probably stated elsewhere as well, Trump and MAGA have killed satire.

The Hunger Games meets Rollerball, for new reality TV, only with immigrants, instead of paid citizens...
