Evening Round-Up: The Guns of Peter Navarro

The Immigration Meat Grinder

The stench of authoritarian overreach hangs in the air like week-old garbage as foreign students find themselves caught in the crushing jaws of Donny McFartsalot's immigration meat grinder. These poor bastards are having their visas ripped away for absolute bullshit reasons—traffic tickets, for fuck's sake—while administrators smugly hide behind "privacy issues" platitudes.

The taste of fear is metallic on these students' tongues as they receive those terrifying emails demanding immediate self-deportation. You can practically hear the panicked breathing of university officials desperately checking immigration databases daily, discovering their own students vanishing from records without warning.

"We've never needed to check SEVIS in this manner," UMass Amherst officials admitted, their voices quivering with the realization that the rules of engagement have fundamentally changed.

The administration's strategy slithers through the system like a venomous snake: create such overwhelming fear and chaos that students flee voluntarily. And it's working—students are dropping out and fleeing home rather than face the cold, rough hands of ICE's goons.

Budget Blueprint Bullshit

The Capitol reeks of desperation and stale sweat as Speaker Johnson barely muscled through a budget blueprint with a nail-biting 216-214 vote that'll supposedly enact The Donald of Dumpster's "agenda." The sound of knees hitting the floor echoed through the chamber as these spineless GOP leaders postponed their own vote because the Freedom Caucus extremists threw a damn tantrum.

You can almost taste the bitter coffee on Johnson's breath as he dragged Thune out for a public display of vague promises about cuts that'll probably never materialize. The resolution mandates at least $1.5 trillion in cuts from Senate committees compared to $4 billion from House panels, but this is just the opening salvo in a bloody war on American wellbeing.

"A shot across the bow," Derrick Van Orden called his temporary "no" vote, his face flushed with the power of threatening to "personally sabotage every single thing" the Freedom Caucus does until "they get their mind right."

This isn't governance. It's a goddamn circus where the clowns are plotting how to dismantle what's left of the social safety net while Turdly Trump cheers from the sidelines.

Trump's Iranian Roulette

The international stage stinks of confusion as Trump McShitface waddles into "direct talks" with Iran this weekend, though Tehran immediately contradicted his bloviating ass by calling these "indirect" conversations. The diplomatic tension crackles like static electricity, with no one—including our own fucking government—seeming to know what this narcissistic windbag actually wants to accomplish.

Israel sweats bullets while Netanyahu, sitting beside The Don of Dung in the Oval Office, called for the "Libya model"—bringing to mind the haunting image of Gaddafi's brutal end. Real subtle diplomatic language there, assholes.

Meanwhile, Iran's nuclear program hums along, now capable of accumulating bomb fuel in weeks instead of a year—you can almost hear the centrifuges spinning. But Tehran's also getting economically ass-fucked by sanctions, with their currency in free-fall and the grinding sound of infrastructure breaking down as citizens lack basic electricity and water.

As Iran's 85-year-old Supreme Leader apparently would rather face "military confrontation" than surrender to American demands, we're all feeling the cold dread of where this disaster might lead.

Elon's Government Grift

The bitter taste of corruption fills your mouth as you read that Elon TeenyWeeny's government grift has 77 House Democrats officially calling bullshit on his "special government employee" status. The letter's ink still fresh, they're demanding Trump confirm this billionaire parasite will actually exit by May 30th as required by law.

"In his short time in government, Elon Musk has done enormous harm to working Americans," they wrote, the words sharp enough to draw blood, "while continuing to enrich himself and break ethics laws."

This walking conflict of interest struts around as the unofficial head of the hilariously named Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—yes, the putrid smell of a meme cryptocurrency permeates serious governance—while orchestrating plans to slash trillions from government spending. The grinding sound of budget scissors grows louder daily.

According to Politico, Trumpy McDungface has privately confirmed to his inner circle that Elon MicroTool will be "stepping back" soon. But these Democrats aren't taking vague assurances, demanding "an immediate public statement" with the urgency of people who've seen this corrupt movie before.

Lawyer Purge: The Dictatorship Takes Shape

The courtrooms of America now reverberate with the sound of democracy cracking as Donny McDumpstain issued an order punishing Susman Godfrey—the firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems secure that massive $787 million settlement against Fox News. The cold chill of authoritarianism seeps under your door as these lawyers find themselves banned from accessing government buildings, viewing documents, or representing ANY party in litigation with the federal government.

Let's be crystal fucking clear: this isn't about "national security" or "significant risks." The stench of vindictive retribution hangs heavy in the air. This is a petty, vengeful attack on lawyers who helped expose the network that amplified his election fraud fantasies.

"We believe in the rule of law," Susman Godfrey stated, their words ringing with the hollow hope of people facing a steamroller of tyranny as they vowed to "fight this unconstitutional order."

Three other firms targeted by this vindictive asshole (Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale) have already sued, their legal briefs frantic attempts to hold back the tide of authoritarianism washing over our institutions.
