SHANTY TOWN TUMBLE WEED
Tumble dry
doors open saloon swings
Squeaky hinges, swing
slide, creak shut.
Line up drunken cups
Shot, more?
shot shot, more more!
shot shot shot whiskey whiskers
salivating
heaves ho heaves ho
Spurred boots leather chaps crack on,
cowboys holsters high way whips
boot hill boots on scoot
Passed out green grubby gills
Eyes rolling fringe benefits fish lips
Curdled cream
shafted turgid blue vain pumps
drip,
drip drip,
Drip drip drip
drops six leaden loads bullets fly heads duck
Pistols dawn drawn 20 pesos 20 paces
ICE cometh DOGE vile age
Turning tricks timing two
Tik Tok Tik Tok Tik Tok
Metronome cadence MAGA Carta
Ewe off? Sheep shorn
sliding slaughtered rhythms
Skewered
strung up a hangman’s heaven
Vance’s vapid hymn book?
Trump picturing posturing
Hesgeth’s public Firing squad
His Red righteous one nationalism
An ICE murderous
A Tumble weeded Wild West
West wing nut job
Door.
πͺ πͺπͺπͺπͺπͺ
Now some context for illiterates… or the self ignorant?

HESGETH WANTS A LIVE STREAMED FIRING SQUAD EXECUTION
PENNY WONG HASN’T EVEN TAKEN A STANCE? WTAF!
#DYOR PLEASE
Many political analysts, legal scholars, and opposition lawmakers explicitly argue that the Trump administration's dramatic announcement to livestream a military execution is a calculated political stunt designed for midterm election publicity.
Coming just weeks before the hyper-competitive congressional midterms, the heavy positioning of a public execution leans directly into high-voter-turnout issues like tough-on-crime optics and national security. (Just like racist Hanson & nationals…)
However, rather than uniting the administration's base, the unprecedented proposal has fractured it, triggering severe internal pushback.
The Case for Political Posturing
- The Midterm Timeline: Critics, such as Democratic Senator Jack Reed, have publicly condemned the announcement as an attention-seeking stunt by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth meant to shift focus from recent administration struggles. With the midterm elections imminent, the rhetoric leans on high public support for the death penalty—which sits at 66% nationally and 84% among Republicans—as a powerful tool to galvanize conservative voters.
- Legal Improbability: Legal experts point out that the 3 December execution date is highly unlikely to happen. Hasan's extensive appellate review process is still ongoing, and federal courts are almost guaranteed to issue a stay of execution. This reality reinforces the consensus among critics that the public declaration is fundamentally a messaging exercise rather than a firm operational timeline.
Why the Strategy Has Backfired
Instead of yielding easy campaign trail publicity, the livestream concept has generated intense friction across political lines:
- Bipartisan Blowback: Rather than driving a wedge between Democrats and Republicans, the idea has alienated conservative lawmakers. Republican Senators like John Curtis and Thom Tillis have openly bashed the plan, arguing that cultivating an appetite for executions as "entertainment" erodes American civilization and mimics the barbaric practices of oppressive regimes like Iran or the Taliban.
- A Fractured Administration: The tension has caused a rare public disconnect within the Executive Branch itself. While Secretary Hegseth aggressively pushes the event, Vice President JD Vance has actively downplayed it, casting doubt on whether it will ever materialize, while President Trump has walked back his initial definitive enthusiasm to a tentative stance that a decision has not yet been finalised.
Ultimately, if the intent was a smooth injection of tough-on-crime momentum ahead of the midterms, it has instead exposed deep ideological rifts regarding where the government draws the line between accountability and public spectacle.
(Ps NFP MUSIC FESTIVAL CANCELLED,
18 vacant shops, businesses or offices at least in one small Main Street. More mum & dad businesses in that same Main Street are actively for sale, many more leaking poorly maintained shops have been vacant for up to 4 years, some retail shops didn’t even open or were severely impacted by noise from generators, fuel pollution or competing temporary street vendors for what was or is already on sale in the permanent shops. The local level of interest was enormous, music was awesome, some stalls were unique and it was great to see so many volunteer NFP fundraising but the commercial misinformation Prior regarding site costs and access to power was confusing and lead to many local stall holders choosing not to support the spring festival due to that poor organisation and confusion of different costs and conditions being changed) it was sad to see very cheap looking stands like a car boot sale setting up outside 18 vacant shops and the towns main arcade is now literally like a ghost ride. Some very expensive very large investments from major chains and major millionaires have redeveloped shops to a high standard recently and hopefully the retirement holiday town can continue to attract this level of investment from a diverse range of retail outlets that are not real estate, banking or medical services, gift shops and clothes shops do remain but many have closed in the last 4 years as gentrification occurs and anyone with disposable income shift to online shopping, or the major chains located in Mega rent shopping malls. Some decentralised gyms, smaller gift and coffee shops have completely moved out of the main shopping areas to cheaper rents in industrial areas and further away from what was once a thriving Main Street. At least 18 vacant shops many of which have closed or relocated in ygrr ed last 12 months indicates the new councillors and council staff teams along with creative (or rich) individual businesses and business chambers can turn this sad situation around. The silly season of summer starts and much of this will be turbot. Until the quieter months. But how many more family run small businesss may close between. Now and then? At least another 10 are already for sale…
