These are most exciting times, fellow travellers. Our Dear Leader (ODL) is busy at it again on this Wednesday, January 25, our First day of Real National Security Protection in oh so many years
We were all gifted with another EO signing at the WH today. This one has teeth. As usual, it is couched in legal gobbledygook and heavy mumbo-jumbo beyond Trump.45’s grade level, but the broad outlines are crystal clear. Trump.45 is executing his moronically simple campaign slogans, as fast as his stubby little fingers can grab a new pen for each EO gem. Here’s the full text.
Had I less fortitude, I might require pharmaceutical assistance to deal with all this properly. Fortunately, that is not the case. Partly because Trump.45 is a 24/7 mind blown acid trip potent enough for all 320 million Americans (and soon to be ex-Americans). You know who you are.
I swear the man is on a constant, daily reinforced outer space trip, without ingesting or inhaling.
I do not support illegal drug use, but this trip must be kosher, because the Dear Leader is supplying the non-stop party favors.
Just to remind everyone, here is one succinct summary from an outfit called the Foundation for a Drug Free World. They do not seem too deep into Alternate Factoidness, but who can say? They have a pretty website, and everything.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF LSD?
The effects of LSD are unpredictable. They depend on the amount taken, the person’s mood and personality, and the surroundings in which the drug is used. It is a roll of the dice—a racing, distorted high or a severe, paranoid low.
Normally, the first effects of LSD are experienced thirty to ninety minutes after taking the drug. Often, the pupils become dilated. The body temperature can become higher or lower, while the blood pressure and heart rate either increase or decrease. Sweating or chills are not uncommon.
LSD users often experience loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth and tremors. Visual changes are among the more common effects—the user can become fixated on the intensity of certain colors.
Extreme changes in mood, anywhere from a spaced-out “bliss” to intense terror, are also experienced. The worst part is that the LSD user is unable to tell which sensations are created by the drug and which are part of reality.
Some LSD users experience an intense bliss they mistake for “enlightenment.”
Not only do they disassociate from their usual activities in life, but they also feel the urge to keep taking more of the drug in order to re-experience the same sensation. Others experience severe, terrifying thoughts and feelings, fear of losing control, fear of insanity and death, and despair while using LSD. Once it starts, there is often no stopping a “bad trip,” which can go on for up to twelve hours. In fact, some people never recover from an acid-induced psychosis.
Taken in a large enough dose, LSD produces delusions and visual hallucinations. The user’s sense of time and self changes. Sizes and shapes of objects become distorted, as do movements, colors and sounds. Even one’s sense of touch and the normal bodily sensations turn into something strange and bizarre. Sensations may seem to “cross over,” giving the user the feeling of hearing colors and seeing sounds. These changes can be frightening and can cause panic.
The ability to make sensible judgments and see common dangers is impaired. An LSD user might try to step out a window to get a “closer look” at the ground. He might consider it fun to admire the sunset, blissfully unaware that he is standing in the middle of a busy intersection.
Many LSD users experience flashbacks, or a recurrence of the LSD trip, often without warning, long after taking LSD.
Bad trips and flashbacks are only part of the risks of LSD use. LSD users may manifest relatively long-lasting psychoses or severe depression.
Because LSD accumulates in the body, users develop a tolerance for the drug. In other words, some repeat users have to take it in increasingly higher doses to achieve a “high.” This increases the physical effects and also the risk of a bad trip that could cause psychosis.
To sum up then:
- Effects of LSD are unpredictable
- A racing, distorted high or a severe, paranoid low
- They depend on the person’s mood and personality
- First effects occur thirty to ninety minutes after taking the drug
- Users experience an intense bliss they mistake for enlightenment.
- The user can become fixated on color intensity
- Use produces delusions and visual hallucinations
- Sizes and shapes of objects become distorted
- Ability to make sensible judgments is impaired
- Users experience flashbacks
Now, with respect to the practice of daily mind tripping without actual drugs, who does this frank and open description remind your of? By George, I’ve got it.
None other than Trump.45 on a serious roll. Even better, the contact high he generates is so preternaturally strong, we Americans can just trip right alongside him, without needing to make any personal financial contribution whatever to maintain the community supply stash.
Now, that’s a trip we can all get behind. One caution though. For the mentally unprepared or inexperienced, it’s best to try and limit oneself to absolutely no more than one full mental tab per 24 hours, lest you blow your circuits and get stuck in Alternateville.
Otherwise, right now America is the best political show for free on Earth, by far.
Absorbing the raw energy radiated by the One and Only Chief, (ODL) I wanted to find a simple way of expressing his golden concepts for the faint of heart and any slow learners who just don’t get it.
I found the perfect visual symbol of cherished American Values, in our own Lady Liberty, who protects our New York Harbor, the gateway to America, since 1886.*
Lady Liberty doesn’t usually do commercials, but she has agreed to provide her sagacity channeling Trump in five simple pictures with captions here as a patriotic duty. A picture is worth a thousand…
Actually, now I wonder what a picture with a few added words is worth? How much of a value multiplier does that add? Mmmmmm…..
Where was I? Oh yeah, back to the Delightful Ms. Liberty.
She did confide in me that she was thinking of resigning and turning in her crown (a big one), but she has anxieties about who might be left in the world willing to take in a 150 -foot high metal skinned Giantess with a Rep. Even Lady Liberty’s ancestral homeland, La Belle France, is shaking its collective head with mournful sadness.
You enjoy Liberty’s take on this.. As for me, I think there is a day-old Big Mac and some fries around here somewhere.

Trump.45 just sort of naturally brings out the artistic in people, exposing their true selves. One very trippy mental and actual acid dude is Mark McCloud,** who has a 30-year massive, very huge collection of primo blotter art. A viewing connoisseur can mix and match McCloud’s color images and Trump’s mental trip snippets for a full range multimedia hallucinogenic experience,
Remember though, limit yourself to one single mental tab a day until you have your tripping sea legs well under you.

And no joke, stay very far away from the pharmaceutical grade stuff. It is illegal, and dangerous, and plus you can wind up in all kinds of deep nasty trouble with people you should avoid provoking. This is America, not Freedonia, and life is too short to call down that karma.
*America’s Lady: The Statue of Liberty (1886):
The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor, was built by Gustave Eiffel and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.
Bartholdi was inspired by French law professor and politician Édouard René de Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to American independence would properly be a joint project of the French and American peoples. He may have been minded to honor the Union victory in the American Civil War and the end of slavery. Due to the post-war instability in France, work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s. In 1875, Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the Americans provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.
The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened due to lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World started a drive for donations to complete the project that attracted more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar. The statue was constructed in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe’s Island. The statue’s completion was marked by New York’s first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland.
The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service. Public access to the balcony surrounding the torch has been barred for safety reasons since 1916.
Mark McCloud is the world’s leading collector of “Blotter Art,” which, for the more straight-laced set, is another way of saying he collects the small papers used to transport and relay acid, or LSD. McCloud’s collected the stuff since the ‘60s, framing and hanging the trippy paper trails in his now legendary Victorian home in San Francisco.
The tabs are inactive at this point, leading any who attempt to arrest McCloud for intent to manufacture and distribute narcotics to be gravely disappointed. Though the hallucinatory properties of the drug are gone, the art that blotter manufacturers created to adorn the tiny objects remains; art that, McCloud is convinced, affected the flavor of one’s trip, if only subconsciously.
McCloud was raised in Buenos Aires until he was sent to a boarding school in Claremont, California when he was 12. At 13 he tried acid in Santa Barbara, an experience that merited the epic summation: “I was blind, but then I could see.“ But it wasn’t until acid imagery became popular in 1968 that McCloud started collecting acid tabs, cataloguing the variety of minuscule masterpieces that were designed foremost with a tongue in mind.
“At first I was keeping them in the freezer, which was a problem because I kept eating them,” McCloud explained to VICE, “but then the Albert Hofmann acid came out, and then I thought, Fuck, I’m framing this. That’s when I realized, Hey, if I try to swallow this I’ll choke on the frame.” And thus, a project was born.
The illicit blotter collection has grown over time, surpassing the collections of the FBI and DEA. McCloud has watched acid art trends rise and fall, with paper appearances by “Captain L” (for LSD), Mickey Mouse, Robert Crumb’s “Mr. Natural” and even the face of Mikhail Gorbachev. When jammed together, the serial images form their own sort of psychedelic experience — a niche history of art, consciousness and the place the two intersect.
“You could think of him as the Andy Warhol of blotter,” Juxtapoz commented, “making a post-modern art form out of the psychedelic experience.” Whether you come to reminisce about the ‘70s, yearn for the San Francisco you never experienced or see some very tiny art, we suggest you pay his home museum a visit.
Please don’t try this at home. Just enjoy the colorful art work.

Here is a fascinating one hour lecture with slides by the man himself on YouTube. He speaks with knowledge and passion for his subject.
One parting comment. I have to say I find it outrageous that our premier law enforcement agencies, the FBI and DEA, each have smaller paper blotter collections of LSD than one old hippie in San Francisco. Unless that is one of those slippery Alternate Facts we keep hearing about. In which case, Emily Litella says on my behalf, “Never mind”.
Otherwise, this is America, and I believe in individual initiative and striving for excellence with all my heart and fiber, but a bigger collection than the FBI and the DEA both? I thought Trump.45 was going to MAGA, and he just announced that the FBI guy, James Comey, gets to keep his job cause he’s a great guy and doing a great job. What’s up with that, man?
That Comey guy pounded the she devil Hillary to bits, and he can’t out resource one old dude in sanctuary city hippy-dippy Frisco? Get on the stick, fellas. You don’t have to try and bust McCloud all the time in order to improve the size of your own official government type collection. Just do it the old fashioned way; buy some paper art yourselves on the open free market.
America First. We won’t tolerate second place in anything, any where, or any time. Not under Trump.45, we won’t. A new day is here. Get with the program. Be there or be square, dudes.
