He currently lives in Prague but has lived in NY, MA, VA, IL, CA, PA and AZ. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: How do you view Trump&#8217;s presidency after 1 year in office?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an unqualified disaster. We\u2019ve gone from in-your-face corruption to international child-trafficking to state-sanctioned murder. And we\u2019re not even at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: ICE on American streets: What is your opinion about this?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>ICE is now Trump\u2019s personal, domestic paramilitary force. Under Noem, who auditioned for her job by shooting her kid\u2019s dog, it\u2019s become a rogue army, free to terrorize, kidnap, extradite, kill. The video of Alex Pretti\u2019s public execution (you can see the bastard emptying his gun into his body) makes things absolutely clear: this is state-sanctioned murder. And our Department of \u2018Justice\u2019 is hiding the killers.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Trump&#8217;s corruption in broad daylight: Your opinion?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rule #1 with Trump is that everything\u2019s about Trump. He\u2019s not a normal human being. He\u2019s incapable of empathy, or loyalty . . . He\u2019s cheated everybody from the small contractors who worked for him at Mar-A-Lago to the American people as a whole. As I write this, he\u2019s funneling the oil money from Venezuela into an offshore bank account in Qatar in his name! Openly.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Are Trump&#8217;s tariffs a sort of blackmail in your eyes?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course they\u2019re blackmail. Any country that annoys him gets hit with tariffs the American people pay for. Europe doesn\u2019t want to give him Greenland, so he threatens them with tariffs. Then he says it\u2019s about \u2018national security. Lies, more lies, bigger lies.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: What is your opinion about invading a foreign country like Venezuela?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Never forget that Trump, at bottom, is a colossal fool. I\u2019m not talking about education; I\u2019m talking about base-level intelligence. He\u2019s driven business after business into the ground. He thinks Greenland is Iceland and Norway owns it. He thinks the United States and Italy have been friends since the Roman Empire. He thinks air power helped us win the Revolutionary War. He\u2019s the village idiot who was corrupt enough to become President. What this means is that he can blunder into anything at any time. Venezuela (and maybe Greenland) are our Ukraine: We want the resources. Maduro? Democracy?<\/p>\n<p>Please! Ask Putin or Benjamin Netanyahu how much Trump cares about democracy.<\/p>\n<p>But going into Venezuela and getting out of Venezuela may not be the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnam 2.0?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Greenland belongs to Denmark and yet Trump wants to own it and doesn&#8217;t shy away from blackmail to get what he wants: Your view about it?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Trump, like his pal, Jeffrey Epstein, blackmails everybody. Why would he treat our allies any differently?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Why, in your opinion, did Trump dismantle the education department?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because he\u2019s out to destroy as many American institutions as he can, and because the 2025 boys, like all fascists, realize that an educated electorate is a threat to them. If they keep us ignorant, we\u2019ll believe anything. And it\u2019s working \u2013 we elected this fraud. Twice!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Trump seems to be doing everything to distract the attention from the Epstein Files. Is he in those files?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course he is! Trump is all over the few files (less than 1%) that the Justice Department has released so far. He\u2019s in letter after letter, photo after photo. The picture of him with his hand on a 13 year-old\u2019s thigh (with Epstein, shirtless, sitting next to him), says it all. If those files are ever released, they\u2019ll expose the biggest scandal in American history. By far. How do I know this? Because everything they\u2019ve been doing is a desperate attempt to distract from them.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Whose side is Trump on in the Russia\/Ukraine war?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s, obviously. He\u2019s made no secret of his \u2018friendship\u2019 with Putin. But he\u2019s not on anybody\u2019s side, really, because he\u2019s incapable of loyalty, or even conviction. Russia has some serious shit on him, so he\u2019s dancing to their tune.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Do you think Trump is a dictator, a fascist, an authoritarian or all three and what else?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pick one, or all three &#8211; they overlap. At this point, though, he\u2019s also deep into dementia. Biden may have spaced out as his mind started to give way, but Trump is visibly deranged, delusional, and therefore extraordinarily dangerous. A few days ago he confused China with Congress and said China had sent him a bill he was going to sign. Then he rage-tweeted at Europe\u2019s leaders, saying they used to call him \u201cdaddy\u201d and bragging about his huge, massive budget. And this criminal, increasingly infantile psychotic, who\u2019s melting before our eyes, has the nuclear codes. And the Republican Congress does nothing.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Why is Trump getting away with everything?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because he and the various liars and extortionists and general scum he\u2019s surrounded himself with figured out that the one great weakness of American democracy is that it relies on tradition. Things are done a certain way because they were always done that way. A president makes his tax returns and health certificate public before the election. A President doesn\u2019t ridicule dying war heroes or Gold Star families. A President doesn\u2019t sell the presidency for his own personal profit. And so on.<\/p>\n<p>But what if he does? What Trump (or the people behind him) figured out is that the system lacks enforcement power. Who\u2019s going to stop him?<\/p>\n<p>Congress? The courts? What if they don\u2019t? Or what if he simply ignores them? This is the problem America is facing \u2013 a rogue administration that just doesn\u2019t give a fuck and will willingly destroy anything that gets in its way. In my darkest hours I feel like we\u2019re on the road to civil conflict \u2013 I can\u2019t bring myself to call it civil war &#8211; something I never hoped to see in America, or imagined I could.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: How do you see the upcoming mid-terms?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If the 2026 elections take place at all, and if they somehow manage to be legitimate, the Democrats will sweep everything from the Senate to neighborhood dog catcher. But I doubt very much they will take place (Trump only recently came out and said he didn&#8217;t know why we have elections at all), and there&#8217;s absolutely no doubt in my mind that the administration will try to rig them \/ steal them. The only hope I see right now is that the Epstein thing, which is about to crash, hits so hard that all these bastards are swept into prison by next summer. It&#8217;s a long-shot, but it doesn&#8217;t hurt to hope.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: How do you see the 2028 elections?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>What elections? Unless Trump falls off the stage \u2013 and maybe even then \u2013 there\u2019s no reason to believe the elections in 2026, much less 2028, will be legitimate. He\u2019s said as much publicly, telling people in the fall of 2024 that if they voted for him, they\u2019d never have to worry about voting again.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as a road map: Whatever he\u2019s saying the other side is doing \u2013 stealing elections, etc. \u2013 is a perfect description of what he and his administration are doing themselves. In other words,<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s lies are about as close to the truth as you\u2019ll get with him.<\/p>\n<p>Day by day it\u2019s coming down to one, brutally simple, unarguable question: Trump . . . or America?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
