Double-naught spy Greg “Jethro” Bodino is apparently the designated fall guy — “Sündenbock,” in the original German — for the blitzkrieg in Minneapolis whose blowback may have mussed the coiffures of Kristi “Reichstag Barbie” Noem, her chief of “staff” Corey “Simple Battery” Lewandowski, and their famously erratic patron, Orange Hitler.
Bodino, believed to have been a button man in the notorious Clampett Gang before his appointment as Obersturmführer of the ICEholen SS, reportedly has been banished to El Centro, Calif., where there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that he, his photogenic Nazi greatcoat, and the lifts in his jackboots will be in command of a meter-maid’s Cushman cart.
El Centro grannies beware — you may expect a ruthless press conference if you overstay your welcome while parked outside yarn shops, thrift stores, and doctors’ offices. Also, and too, a good pepper-spraying and perhaps a dozen or so bullet wounds. In the back, of course.

How long did it take to find a photo that looked sorta like the Nazi? Also, I admire how you didn’t go for the obvious cow joke.
Not that long, surprisingly. Two cups of coffee and a quick web search of Nazi war criminals did the trick.
The one I settled on was Oskar Dirlewanger, who was particularly nasty even as Nazis go.
Dirlewanger did not get sent to El Centro for his crimes. He got sent to Hell.
Careful there, big fella. El Centro also is home to the origin story of Col. Steven J Lockjaw – and you saw what happened to him.
If you didn’t see, run – don’t walk – to your Netflix machine and check out “One Battle After Another.” A terrible title but a fun and prescient movie.
Well remembered, sir! We’ve watched the movie twice but I’d forgotten that tidbit. But not what happened to the colonel.
I’ve tried reading the inspiration for the flick, Thomas Pynchon’s “Vineland,” but can’t get ’er done. Struggled through it once, muttered, “What the actual fuck?” and started over again. Didn’t make it through a second read. But the movie was good. And Sean Penn crushed it.
The flick’s title, by the way, is taken from a Weather Underground dispatch from Back in the Day® when I still thought the Maoist cult of personality a suitable alternative to the Nixonian cult of personality.
I’ve been increasingly startled by the similarities of these ICE tactics in our city streets and the Sturmabteilung tactics in the Weimar Republic.
i’ve taken to calling ICE Der Liebstandarte tRump.
Meanwhile, BRAIN reports that QBP is taking a stand, calling on industry members to “advocate for change” following the killing of Alex Pretti, the ER nurse and Surly rider.
In a LinkedIn post Monday, the company said:
Good for them!
“”I think the eye-opening thing is that your whiteness isn’t going to protect you. Up until pretty recently, our whiteness offered a significant amount of protection. And us white folks are experiencing a reality that Black and brown folks have been experiencing for as long as this country’s been around.”
Yep. Interestingly, most of the gun nut organizations that have supported tRump have realized that like Pretti, any of us Second Amendment Honkies could end up face down in the street getting a 9mm enema.
Referencing Original Adolf’s Panzer bodyguards? Well played, sir.
Bingo! Now, when will they start wearing those Totenkopfverbände hats?
From The Dispatch: “…Outlets reported Monday that Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino will leave Minnesota and return to his regional duties in El Centro, California, and that he has been locked out of his social media accounts.”
Well, someone had to take one for the team.
Like Charlie Pierce, I’m not sure that getting Tom “Border Czar” Homan is trading up. But still, little victories.
That guy in the photo looks like steven miller to me. Let’s hope when the shit rolling down hill gets fast and super stinky before it gets to Herr miller. One thing is for sure, some folks are going under the bus.
