The Ride of Captain Bone Spurs

A Brutal History of a Nation Hijacked

He never earned it. He just took it.

Trump — a failed casino clown, a draft-dodging coward with a gold toilet and a black heart — never built anything real in his life. His empire was built on air, debt, branding, and bluster. No integrity. No strategy. Just noise, lawsuits, and other people’s money.

And now he’s back. Not just back in politics. Back in power.

Controlling the GOP like a cult leader. Turning the Supreme Court into a wrecking crew. Holding the nation hostage with threats of violence, lies, and mass delusion.

We are not in a post-Trump era. We are in the late-stage Trumpist regime. And it all began with Roy Cohn.

ACT I: Mentored by a Monster

Roy Cohn — McCarthy’s hitman. A closeted, vicious, scorched-earth operator. Trump's shadow tutor.

Cohn taught Trump the gospel of shamelessness:

Never apologize.

Never admit.

Attack harder when you’re guilty.

Turn truth into a weapon.

Trump took notes. Built his entire public life on this moral sewage. And it worked. Because America was primed for it. Primed by reality TV, by decades of consumer rot, by institutional cowardice, and by a broken press addicted to balance over truth.

What followed was a con job on a national scale.

ACT II: Captain Bone Spurs Rides Again

He dodged Vietnam with fake bone spurs — but paraded as a wartime president against immigrants, journalists, women, minorities, and anyone who told the truth.

He lost the 2020 election — and turned that loss into a fundraising goldmine and a slow coup. He cheered on the January 6th terrorists — then pretended he was the victim. He called soldiers “suckers and losers” — while wrapping himself in the flag like a defiled relic.

And now, like a horror sequel nobody asked for, he’s back on the ballot — but never really off the throne. The institutions that could have stopped him? They flinched. They hedged. They waited for “norms” to do the job.

But you don’t stop fascism with norms. You don’t reason with a man who has no concept of reason. You don’t appeal to shame when you’re facing a sociopath who views shame as weakness.

This isn’t political anymore. It’s pathological.

ACT III: The Traitor’s Court

Look at the rogues’ gallery he leads:

Giuliani: A greasy ghoul with teeth stained by lies and red wine.

Bannon: A fascist huckster powered by meth, hate, and podcast donations.

Flynn: A former general turned QAnon puppet, spouting theocratic garbage.

Roger Stone: Tattooed Nixon on his back, treason in his mouth.

Kari Lake, MTG, Boebert, Gaetz: A walking anti-intellectual meltdown.

And behind it all: Rupert Murdoch, poisoning the national bloodstream from a penthouse far away, as his media empire manufactures outrage, division, and fantasy 24/7.

Fox News isn’t news. It’s a weapon. A propaganda howitzer aimed straight at the brainstem of Middle America.

They’ve normalized the abnormal. Sanitized sedition. Gave treason a chyron and a commercial break.

ACT IV: A Mind War

This is psychological warfare. Not against an enemy abroad — but against the American people.

Years of disinformation, grievance politics, white resentment, and Christian nationalism have created a nation where millions now believe democracy is optional, violence is patriotic, and Trump is some kind of divine instrument.

This is not normal. This is not political disagreement. This is a cult of organized madness.

We have Americans saluting a man who tried to end democracy and will try again.

And we have institutions, billionaires, and media execs who are fine with it as long as the checks keep clearing.

ACT V: The End of Illusion

Captain Bone Spurs never served. Never sacrificed. Never cared.

He is a walking void — filled only with greed, vengeance, and the deep, lizard-brain need to never be wrong. And that makes him extremely dangerous. Because when he fails again — and he will — he’ll bring as much of the country down with him as he can.

We are past the warning signs. We are past satire. We are staring into the abyss, and half the country thinks it’s just a campaign ad.

This house is not divided. It’s on fire. And dreck like this man — and the propaganda system that birthed him — must be torn down, root and stem.

This is not politics. This is survival. The propaganda must end. The Murdoch empire must be broken. The criminal syndicate posing as a movement must be exposed for what it is: a rotting death cult wrapped in a flag, wielding a Bible, and aiming a gun at the Constitution.

Call it what it is: fascism, American-style. And stop waiting for someone else to stop it.
