[Wave of the hand] "Eff-It, Pardon Them All."

    1. Now how did we get here?         A) JD Vance tells Donald Trump,              1) “Don't—                  a) Don't do this boss!                      (1) Don't release them all—                          (a) Not the most violent ones.                          (b) Not the ones that attack law enforcement!              2) We're the Republican Party—                  a) We're supposed to protect the blue!             3) Remember all those blue American flags?                 a) Protect the blue, yeah.            ...

Fractionate

Conservatives now have irresponsible authority for every aspect of our lives This the worst thing that could happen to conservatives. Being in such power,  the power of life and death The GOP will shatter into factions Indeed, the GOP has already done so While drooling in anticipation The American people will suffer  from the fallout of GOP faction fights Sowing Death Destruction Misery Chaos Democrats have tried to prevent this horrific implosion Strove to demonstrate the responsible exercise of Power Authority The GOP will not go down alone Drowning in corruption Desperately trying to pretend All they are doing is Moral Righteous The GOP MAGA-Republicans will drag us all--ALL-- Down into the Hell of rapacious unfettered Capitalism Where everything--all-- Are for sale for the right price The price for so many of us will be our souls--our Our aspirations Our hopes Our dreams Our desires For a better world  

Thoughts for the Day 20240304

Let's not mince words this terrible day:  the Supreme Court rolled out the red carpet for Donald Trump,  bowing and motioning him to walk into the Oval Office.  Never mind defending  the Constitution  our Democracy  other such Liberal ideals.  All hail Emperor Trump the First!

Thoughts for the Day 20240228

  Why we NEED to study History Historian Mary Beard contends that  Rome became a de facto empire due to territorial expansion too vast to be effectively governed by a democratic republic So the territorial empire created the first emperors to fill a political void IMO This is frightening  the USA is rapidly expanding its holdings  (military installations) satellite nations We cannot decide how to effectively administer them Could this be why we are facing the threat of Emperor Donald Trump I? IMO This upcoming election is not whether the USA will become an empire or a republic But rather what direction the Empire of the United States will take. Or to put it more bluntly: The 1% want their empire and will stop at nothing to get it. Prediction: Tyrant Trump will fail He insists on doing everything himself Nothing happens without Trump's approval. He will drown in the details.

 With all the civil and criminal judgments against D. Trump Totaling perhaps over 500 million USD I am grimly delighted and eagerly anticipating Trump declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying these civil and criminal fines play the martyr I'm waiting for legal/professional sanctions  against A. Habba for her actions in the state and federal courts disgraceful contemptuous Will D. Trump flee the country? Every time he's losing a court case he then runs as fast as his little feet can take him complains with bitter vitriol that he's the victim extols his followers to violence And there are more civil and criminal cases to come far surpassing R. Reagan for political corruption Green Eagle on D. Trump's "win" in New Hampshire 'So, DeSantis dropped out.   My guess at that point was that Trump and Haley would pretty much split DeSantis' 22 points,  giving each 11 points,  so the final result of the New Hampshire race should have been something like this:  Ha...

  All these ammosexuals running around itching to drag iron and kill all they disapprove of. So why are we all still alive? Because of the Constitution, baby. The one thing the Orange God-King wants to get rid of after he's elected. Cannot emphasize this enough: Balloon Juice: Eternal Fascism: The Key Elements Umberto Eco's seminal text on the threat of Ur-Fascism. From Green Eagle : 'The Civil War was about freedom.   Nikki Haley was absolutely right about that.   She only got one thing wrong.   It was about the freedom of black people not to be owned by white people, not the freedom of white people to own black people. Apparently, to people like Nikki Haley, freedom and slavery were not inconsistent.   Just as long as the right people were free and the right people were slaves.' I cannot believe Nikki Haley can utter such a blatant lie: We all know this is totally false, completely untrue. The GOP 2024 campaign is to restore racism as a cor...

Trump caucus win in Iowa: In his victory word-salad (long-term COVID?), did D. Trump remember to thank Putin for his generous behind-the-scenes support? "Low voter turnout" translates to "all the moderate Republicans stayed home rather than vote for MAGA candidates." Update: D. Trump won by 51%. 49% voted against Trump. This is not a "landslide" victory. Prediction: After Iowa caucus victory, local GOP will run wild. Expect increased violence against all who are not white, male, and heterosexual. Are evangelicals actually expecting their God of Abraham to descend from the heavens and restore white supremacy? BTW all the Old Testament patriarchs we revere kept slaves. In an interview with Christine Amanpour, Robert Pape identifies the racist "Great Replacement Theory" as the prime motivator for the January 6th insurrection. Pape analyzed 400 arrested traitors to generate this profile: White Male Over 45 Upper middle-class  businessmen  professio...

Thoughts for the Day

Really looking forward to Drumpf fleeing the USA (to Belarus/Crimea?)),  setting up a "government-in-exile", and  exhorting his followers to  run riot,  kill all his enemies burn everything down We had the opportunity  to put Hair Fuhrer in jail for his many gag order violations but we squandered that opportunity (because Capitalism protects the 1%) I tried to post this on Facebook But Meta forced me to delete this post or end up in FB jail (because Capitalism protects the 1%) Lesson learned:  stick with Google blogs ICYMI:  On Christmas Day Israel bombed Gaza refugee camps Russia blasted Ukraine cities with missiles So tell me again why do we celebrated Christmas?

 So, in essence, most Republicans despise Donald Trump but will still do everything they can to get him elected President-- just to own the Libs That's it that's what this is all about And while the body count rises and all of us are enslaved and women are turned into breeding animals-- all to satisfy these schoolyard bullies who have money to burn just to own the Libs

If AR-15s all disappear: Do pro-gun arguments collapse like a house of cards? Interesting how so many people like Alex Hailey's novel Roots ,  but they don't like the factual 1619 Project .  This is why we need to teach History. I love how middle-aged cis white males  can sit in a local diner in an almost all-white community  grousing how there is no freedom of speech anymore. The reason Conservatives need billionaire donors  is maintaining the Big Lie is  very expensive and  consumes vast resources of  time,  labor, and  money. The core tenet of GOP populism Heterosexual white males must make more heterosexual white males  by any means possible. "Give me white dick or give me death." Amusing: All these militia types Wear woodland camouflage in urban environments in order to hide from themselves from each other from they have done.

It's amazing how all these billionaires  selflessly volunteer to be the new Donald Trump/ Our nation is truly cursed to have them. By the way, do we call Elon Musk "Donald Musk," or "Elon Trump"? The dream of the GOP is to restore slavery, the "final solution" for the cause of white supremacy. And in order to do this the GOP will "destroy America in order to save it." The Confederacy 1.0 (of Civil War 1.0) was to protect slavery as a way of life. Confederacy 2.0 was share-cropping and for-profit prisons, and forced seperation of immigrant children at our southern borders. By the way, where are those children now? Confederacy 3.0 is the GOP life-and-death struggle to restore slavery. How many people would be surprised if I pointed out Conservatives want a race war? It should be obvious by now.

 Catching up on a backlog of my personal notes: People who own guns want their ownership to be sacrosanct, a moral imperative. Guns are just guns; they are designed only to kill. That is not a moral authority; that is terror. I have little patience with pro-gun arguments, because their logic--boiled down--is, "I have a gun, and you don't, so you lose." Pro-gun arguments are abysmally stupid and meaningless. The question Conservatives hate the most is, "Why are you doing this?" Conservative attempts to truthfully answer this question are too revealing, as conservatives know they cannot  reveal their real reasons, as they are inherently racist and exploitative.  I thank the gods I have witnessed the beginning of the end of the Republican party. The slippery moral slope begun in the Reagan administration has dumped the GOP into a pit of their own making. I weary of all these articles and essays whose thesis is, "I was a Liberal until..." As far as I am co...

Woke  is so easy to define: Giving the same respect and courtesy to non-white people that we give to white people. Let's explain this another way: You know the respect and courtesy we're supposed to show to wealthy, middle-age, cis-white males? Woke  is to extend the same courtesy and respect to all other human beings.

The Copier Machine of the Past

 Why does living in the past always seem to involve guns firing, uniforms sparkling, foxholes manned, tanks rumbling past, military jets screaming overhead, huge factories churning, gigantic dams rushing water, limousine cars pulling up, and vast steam railroads chugging-chugging-chugging? All of this built/made by white people, with not a single non-white in sight, except to passively enjoy the benefits of being with white people? The history of our past—everyone's past—is always rewritten. So the justifications for this historical revisionism are also in a constant state of rewrite to shore up and prop up the vast overarching conspiracy, the mythology, the Adam Smith collection of fairy tales, that all of our nation's greatness, our social progress, our cultural wealth was made by lily-white hands—only these hands, mouths, feet and brains belonging to white males with wives and children. Children raised to carry on this delusion, maintain and violently defend the lie. For wit...

Re: Texas Anti-choice Vigilante Law

 Really sad to see males in public support women's rights, but privately vote for repressive politicians who ban a woman's right to choose, b/c "MY woman will never abort my child."  The personal is political. BTW: banning abortion does not solve anything, fixes nothing.  This is not just Texas.  Liberals are addressing a universal issue, a fundamental right to "my body, my choice." We are seeing a vicious, cruel, unforgiving mythology at work, based on the Xian bible,  a vile fantasy of Old Testament patriarchs in a modern american culture,  where women exist only to make copies of men. Love how faith that denying a portion of our population medical services based on gender won't boomerang on the rest of the population-- while this gives HMO's greater justification to deny medical services to us all for religious reasons. Put more simply:  fucking over women screws us all.  Is this too existential for y'all? Texas enslavement of women shows how ...
