Up on the hill there's a plastic tree,

Are you here with me?

Is it another dream,

Or are you close to me?


Let’s set out at sea,

Spree to where you're close to me.

Cause you are my love,

My medicine that turns me into a dove.


When you're close to me,

In the submarine,

Does anyone know, love?

Or is this another dream?


If you can't get what you want,

Then come with me.

Close to me,

Like the plastic tree.


Up on the hill sits a manatee,

Drifted far from the sea.

Sitting with the plastic tree,

Are you here with me?


Just looking out for the day,

Just a dream but wont you stay?

Cause when there's a plastic tree,

You're close to me.

Boats and more boats around this marina
thank goodness none of us got caught in Katrina
big boats and small boats, they're really yachts
the giant, fun toys of people with lots
gambling, eating and sitting by pools
lifeguards yell at kids to follow the rules
turquoise the waters of sparkling seas
it's so pretty here with it's cheerful palm trees
the waves lap up gently on crystal white sand
there's dolphins out playing in sight of land
a manatee swam right up to the dock
and nobody here is checking their clock
a turtle was swimming slow and relaxed
a bikini model lay out all freshly waxed
massages and facials, yoga and gyms
healthy and happy fulfilling their whims
a jet ski flies by and they holler in fun
everybody out getting their dose of the sun
by evening and rambunctious music parade
if you vaycay here then your life's really made
As peaceful as a manatee
Tender as a dove
Innocent as a baby
I lie on my bed awaiting next days trials

Unstructured fealty,
A tip toed fantasy,
Of uncultured humanity.
This is reality,
Where sugar plum fairies,
Only exist in dreams.
So, adrift it seems.
In myths and schemes.
In the midst of things.
That we truly believe,
Will make us happy.
But even with everything,
Why does the glass remain half empty?
Is life truly a tragedy?
A perfect ballet,
Where love is promised,
But death is the only thing that cometh.

You can perfect a plie,
But bend to addictions.
You can perfect a saute,
But jump to conclusions.
Indeed, life is a perfect ballet,
Where love is promised,
But death is the only thing that cometh.

Uncertain with deities.
After all, I might be an evolved manatee.
Or I might just be an anomaly.
Perhaps this is insanity.
Trapped in bodies,
Shamed depending on anatomy.
That’s determined randomly.
Not sure of what is or isn’t reality.
Spinning in circles,
Without stability.
Spinning in circles,
Bearing the weight of gravity.
A little dance I call depression and anxiety.
Taking substances to escape reality.
Going to a tip toed fantasy.
Filled with sugar plum fairies.
Just like in my dreams.
But dreams are brief,
Just like the substances.
Going back down a spiral of grief,
And a sense of emptiness.
Wondering where to find true happiness,
To be loved.
Man maybe life is a tragedy,
A perfect ballet,
Where love is promised,
But death is the only thing that cometh.

You can perfect a plie,
But bend to addictions.
You can perfect a saute,
But jump to conclusions.
Indeed, life is a perfect ballet,
Where love is promised,
But death is the only thing that cometh.
It’s gray and it’s me
I’m a transparent manatee stretching at the seams
Covered in fat, shiny leaves that turn upside down
Strike me with a boulder and pop my skull open
Like a balloon filled with tears and lotion
Bury me naked in a closed casket
With heaps and heaps of violets

I used to be told that I carry the burden well
Sometimes I look at the animal and try to identify it
Other species’ features float through my mind and once a month I see a resemblance
But nothing really classifies me for long
What’s the point in cooking the way you always wanted to cook
If even to you it tastes sort of bland
Madisson Jan 2020
I know how the world works
I know that the sun rises in the west and illuminates the sky a beautiful brilliant chartreuse
I know that cats bark and dogs meow. Fish walk among us and butterflies are imprisoned in the ocean
Birds only dream of flight while the manatee soars through the open air
While I know all of these things, I maybe rethink that I, in fact, have no idea how the world works.
Here’s the full unflinching, no-holds-barred indictment of this Orange Taco Manatee and everything he’s done that we know of for sure  , laid out raw and detailed: get a drinkand a comfortable chair it gets more than juicy.

He isn’t just a failed businessman or a failed president. He’s a living amalgam of every kind of corruption, abuse, and cruelty you can imagine.
From the very start, he believed himself untouchable—untethered from law, morality, or basic decency. For decades, he has operated with the arrogance of someone convinced the rules don’t apply to him, and the evidence stacks higher than any of his numerous failed businesses   or their tall buildings.

Start with the children, the most vulnerable, the ones who never asked for any of this.    The ones on Epstein's island. And the ones he put in cages.
The family separation policy wasn’t an accident it was a calculated cruelty. At least 2700   says Health and Human Services. 1,583 children remain missing from their parents to this day. Only a sicko would debate the numbers. That's the minimum number we know about,
torn apart under the “zero-tolerance” mantra he imposed.
Toddlers literally screaming and crying for their Mamas and Papas. caged under foil blankets,
infants traumatized,
children ripped from their families’ arms
with no records, no tracking, just labels like
“unaccompanied”
a bureaucratic euphemism for kidnapping.
These aren’t numbers.
These are lives. Mothers and fathers who scream in agony to know their children, children who may not even remember their parents. And while he publicly rails about law and order, the true violence, the human suffering, is ignored, trivialized, weaponized for political theater.
Then he wants to use human trafficking, which he is more than guilty of, as an excuse to
put tariffs on us,
the American taxpayers, as if we're not already burdened enough. And then he wants to say that that's the excuse for penalizing our friend and neighbor
Canada.
Who has been proven that less than 1% of fentanyl has ever come across their border, ever.  PERIOD !

  He then attacks Disney and Paramount making sure that Colbert show is going to be cancelled and then directly getting Jimmy Kimmel cancelled. That is.
Direct fascism.
Then the fully militarized. ICE raids
No other president in history ever has used the Marines on its own people. That's unprecedented. And it's illegal. Governor Newsom should have control of what the National Guard does within his own state.
the mostly  peaceful protests met with deliberate brutality, the calculated intimidation—this is a man who treats people as objects to be manipulated, terrorized, or erased.
He doesn’t just condone violence; he choreographs it.
Women holding signs about their missing children, young men recording truth on phones—targeted like animals, beaten, tear-gassed, dragged across concrete—none of it random.
Each act is a statement: obedience is demanded, dissent is crushed, and spectacle is everything. Just like
his self professed hero is ****** .
Which he told military leaders in his first term and in this term that they needed to be more like ******'s generals and that open racist. **** Cults were   "very fine people" .
His other hero is the mass murderer   sociopath.  ex KGB agent. Vladimir Putin.

He lied about stealing the nuclear secrets. Then they found boxes of them. Then his attorney said just tell the truth and they knew that they were not telling the truth and still lying and they had to raid Mar a Lago. They found even more. They said, is this it? He said yes, and he knew he was lying. He took it. The golf course invited and had foreign dignitaries and enemy dignitaries that he was trying to auction these nuclear secrets off to secrets from the nuclear football.
Secrets that military members like myself, my family and friends fought and died to keep a secret. And he was out there bragging about having them and willing to sell them to the highest bidder. It's not conjecture. It's caught on audio recordings.

And there's photographs of how he was storing them next to a toilet in Mar a Lago.
Then there's the interns and the people who are going in after him into the restroom and finding torn up things in the toilet that he was trying to flush down.

And the January 6 insurrection? That wasn’t an accident .
People died because of his incitement.   He lied to them and told them that he would be there himself. And then he told them,  quote, "fight like hell."  
Officer Brian Sicknick, crushed by the mob, dead the next day. Rosanne Boyland, Kevin Greeson, Benjamin Philips—all gone because he egged a violent mob on, told them to  never back down  and then wrapped it in the guise of patriotism.
Ashli Babbitt was so worked into a bedazzled MAGA frenzy. that she was  shot while repeatedly  trying to breach a barricaded door.

Others traumatized to the point of suicide, heart attack, stroke.

ALL that blood is on his tiny little  hands.

Not metaphorically.
Literally.
He summoned them, armed them, told them they were heroes, and then stood aside while the violence played out.

****** predation?
Absolutely. He didn’t just brag about grabbing women without consent on camera—he weaponized that same sense of entitlement against Stormy Daniels, telling her, explicitly, about his daughter’s body in a ****** context to arouse himself.  Understand that this was in between years of going back and forth to Epstein's island. Systematically choosing, abusing and ****** children over the course of years and years. The flight logs of Lonita expressed extend from the day Epstein purchased the plane and had a custom painted till the very end. Trump was there. He was fully aware of what was happening. He and  Maxwell were close friends. He helped fund the whole project. and manipulated her into compliance,

a violation of every moral boundary imaginable. He admitted this  daughter lusting behavior on Howard Stern, fully aware of microphones and cameras.
The assaults on E. Jean Carroll are equally unflinching: ****, then years of denying, mocking, and attacking her credibility while using his wealth and status to avoid accountability. Epstein’s island trips weren’t social calls—they were active participation in a network of trafficking, *******, and exploitation, mingled with the worst abuses of power.  He was so drunk on power and assure of himself dead, he believed that he could corral any **** star he wanted, **** and ****** and ***** anyone that he's ever wanted with complete impunity. And now that he has the Supreme Court in his pocket, he's absolutely right.
Not because of skill, but because of money and manipulation and power and shameless lying con man grifting.

Then there’s the financial and social exploitation.
Veterans with disabilities,
dying children with cancer,
ordinary Americans working their ***** off—
defrauded,
scammed,
left destitute, left to die while he flaunted wealth, bribed judges, and gamed the system.  He knowingly and willingly lied to prospective donors and actual donors, telling them that he was going to use the money from the Trump Foundation to help veterans, in particular veterans with issues and disabilities. They didn't see a dime of that money. Then as if that weren't enough, in between going back and forth to the **** island

****** E Jean  Carroll

setting up all of the **** star ***. Which he promised to pay for and never did. That's why Stormy had to take him to court 3 * 2 of the times she won.
.Laughing to his buddies that he just walks up to women and  "grabs them by their *******". Which we know that he absolutely did and was doing and would still be doing.

As if that weren't enough, then he comes back. Runs the casinos into the ground.
The only idiot ever in the history of gambling.
A system where 8 out of 10 bets lose to the house.
This ***** runs the casinos into bankruptcy
and actually loses money.

That's how bad a businessman he really is.

As if that weren't enough, though, then he goes and says with the same Trump foundation that he's gonna raise more money for

dying cancer children
. Kids whose families are destitute
because of their medical bills. Like the veterans, those people don't see a dime of the money.

None of this is
"fake news."
None of this is made-up.

2018-2019 court transcripts.

A stenographer in the court types out every single word
that he says.

he is quickly found guilty.
On every single count,
the judge says he must repay all of that money,
a little over $2,000,000 that they know about.

They know for sure that he spent some of that money on an autographed Tim Tebow football helmet.

He spent others of it on self aggrandizing self portraits that made him look like he had a big bulge.

Foundations meant to help the vulnerable were twisted into cash machines, lining his pockets while people suffered in real time.

Despite losing the court cases, what it actually teaches them is how to correctly scam Pandemic profiteering,
He undermines Fauci and he actually tells people that it's all a big scam perpetrated by the left. Then he actually has the gall to tell people
  " just drink bleach".

I don't know, maybe they should inject the bleach.
undermining science, forcing super-spreader rallies, all while hoarding the best care and resources for himself.
H They said the frozen cadaver trucks that were overflowing with bodies was a lie and a scam and didn't actually happen. He could have passed legislation to help with the respirators that people desperately needed, but he refused to do it.  He himself got COVID, as I did numerous times, but unlike me, he got the best care money could buy at the expense of the taxpayers, while at the same time. Intentionally holding super spreader rallies.  
The elderly, the obese, people with comorbidities literally died because of COVID.
Meanwhile, he's backing every single stupid harebrained conspiracy theory. That has no scientific backing whatsoever. While at the same time attacking legitimate science that actually could have helped.

Political corruption?
Beyond comprehension.
Pardons for criminals, incitement for cult-like followers, manipulation of the courts,
stacking SCOTUS with extremists   setting up an orchestrating the bribes to Clarence Thomas.

Contacting and helping fund church leaders hostile to basic human rights.   Ensuring that long standing policies like

Roe versus Wade were overturned.

Not just child ****, not just the **** and groping of grown women, not just defiling **** stars and not paying them, but also literally and physically ****** the planet itself.

Deregulation and environmental **** while laughing in boardrooms, profiting off disasters, stripping protections from workers,
Native lands,
He overturned years of protective regulations on known Native American burial sites. Just slapping those people in the face and said, yeah, we're gonna go in there and literally dynamite and drill these places as much as we like to extract whatever resources we want, whenever we want without regulation and there's. You can  do about it.

Targeting trans individuals, women, LGBTQ+ people, and anyone who threatened his worldview or base.
Threatening journalists,
judges,
the judges in cases against him,
he put out their personal information,
tweeting it and putting it on his psychotic little Truth Social thing

and his other Twitter accounts and things before they were banned,

he said. Their specific names and addresses.
He gave their wives names and their children's names,
threatening them explicitly.

witnesses, and their families. A campaign of intimidation and cruelty codified into policy, law, and culture. Both before and after completely gutting the DOJ of any semblance of righteousness or justice and using it as his own personal vindictive attack machine.

Then in between getting dragged into the defamation cases, which he lost because the evidence was overwhelming against him, then he gets dragged into the Stormy Daniels cases. Then he gets dragged back into the tax fraud and business Ledger, which he lost all of those. Every single one just  lost, lost, lost, lost, lost and and also getting impeached twice.
We almost thought we had him on the roads. And then he makes an appeal to Apple, Google, Zuckerberg, and then out of nowhere, idiot Elon jumps on the scene and literally tells people that he's going to buy Trump votes. If you vote for Trump, I will give you money.
  Then they set up the whole more than likely false assassination thing, which they immediately just swept under the rug. He conveniently only gets hit in the ear at a distance that anyone with  A  scope shouldn't miss. But that cements him his chosen by God's stature and nature, with the psychotic MAGA base that he's been building. That was the turning point in which he could not lose.
I won't go into hear the death of Justice Scalia. I won't go into the supposed accidental death of his wife where she falls down the stairs after transversing those stairs, all peeled up and drunk for years and years and years, then all of a sudden, right when she's about to speak to some people about their. All of a sudden she dies. I'm not gonna go into that here. I'm not gonna go into Epstein. I'm not gonna go into Epstein's lawyer.
We could talk about how he assaulted his own members of the Secret Service trying to grab the wheel, demanding that they give up their phones, demanding access to their personal text and emails so that he could try to remove his behavior both before and after. January 6th.
We could talk about him and the whole voter fraud thing. Demanding that they come up with the 11,700 whatever votes to give him the presidency that he didn't win.
Then the constant thing about lying and saying he did win when he clearly and obviously lost.
The whole thing with leaky old Rudy Giuliani and how he just used him and threw him under the bus and then Rudy loses his defamation case against those black women who live in Georgia that he lied about and lied about and would not stop lying about. And he did all that for his buddy Trump.

Then the fat, bloated, ******* idiot loser Bannon.
totally turned his back on him.

Then he and his boyfriend, boy toy Eli Elon, can't be around him without literal lethal doses of ketamine. Elon's on so much ketamine that not only his kidneys are shutting down, but his liver is failing and his doctors have to step in and say, well, buddy, if you don't. Slow your roll, you're gonna be dead. And then once he sobers up, he's like, Oh my God, I did what I got. Who elected?


And the constant egocentric. theater of it all. Claiming that even before he was running for presidency that somehow

  He now  claims the Democrats created and faked the Epstein files,

  yet Hillary didn't try to use it against him.

Biden didn't try to use it against him.

Kamala didn't try to use it against him

.But yet somehow the Democrats knew that they needed to fake all this stuff.

   The MAGA cultist idiots from the Deep South states have three channels to choose from.
They don't read,
they don't visit their libraries.
The only thing they see with letters on it are NRA stickers.
They believe that. The Apprentice is and was a real show that showed how Donnie could run these businesses successfully.

They've been brainwashed with all their church crap for so long that they cannot separate fantasy from reality. They believe that some magical floating sky daddy listens to them even if  they don't Speak aloud
and it's gonna come solve all the problems.
They believe that this invisible sky daddy chose Donnie To bring about the end of the world
, and they want that, That's why they hoard all the guns, the MRE's, That's why you got Alex Jones talking, all those supplements and the Sandy Hook deniers and all of that.


So  scripted shows,
rallies,
Fox News indoctrination
social media manipulation
it’s not just deception; it’s a full ecosystem of lies designed to convince millions that chaos, cruelty, and incompetence are genius,

that the man who scammed, assaulted, and defrauded can be trusted with power.
Cult dynamics, martyrdom complexes, armed obedience. MAGA isn’t just a movement; it’s a fully weaponized personality cult, and he’s the architect.

Layered on top of this is the pattern: decades of unchecked behavior, where ****** assault, fraud, theft, incitement, and exploitation aren’t aberrations—they’re his modus operandi.

Untouchable since his early 20s,
believing law and morality were toys for him to play with,

then bringing that same attitude into the highest office in the nation.
The result? Dead  school kids gunned down almost every other day  

traumatized Americans, missing children, ***** and assaulted women, exploited veterans, failing democracy, and a country held hostage by lies, greed, and cruelty.

His idea of tariffs are sheer math stupidity

and everyone in the world told him that.
It's like trying to run a lemonade stand when your inventory is literally a desert.

America doesn't produce anything. We have not produced anything since slightly before. The Reagan era tax cuts. And now none of those multi billion dollar corporations pays anything in taxes. The entire tax burden was shifted onto the already strained middle class and we've been carrying it ever since. And then he wants to put even more on us with these whole ridiculous idea of tariffs.

This isn’t hyperbole. It isn’t opinion. It’s a litany of documented crimes, cruelty, and human suffering, stacked into an avalanche that can’t be ignored
. He didn’t just fail
. He didn’t just break laws
.  The bodies, the broken, the suffering—they are all the fingerprints of a man utterly untethered from conscience consequence, or reality.

This is the man. The crimes, the assaults, the deaths, the exploitation, the incitement, the lies, the culture of cruelty

they form a seamless, relentless narrative. And the truth is raw:
he must never be allowed to hide behind
, spectacle,
or theater.
Every person hurt, every life destroyed, every innocent victim
his hands are on it all.
Nothing softens it, nothing erases it. He is fully, monstrously accountable, morally, ethically, and historically.
This isn't all of it by any means, but I just got sick of it and I'm sure that you're sick of it too. If you read through all of this, then you deserve a medal.
