White Mediocrity Vs Everyone Else
Wanna know what we're experiencing? It's a grudge match, plain and simple - between white mediocrity and everyone else. How else to describe "Jews will not replace us"? The first time I heard that, I thought "why are you so afraid of being replaced? Replaced how? In what way?" Can I be honest? I've never thought of myself as "replace-able". Yeah, sure - I've held countless jobs where I was one hundred percent replaceable.

Shouldn't all those Trump-Russia connections garner a little more reaction than they're getting?
Actually, it's flat out illegal to solicit foreign help or to accept foreign help. Now, imagine that the foreign help is at cyber war with your government! Now what you're doing isn't just illegal, it's TREASONOUS!
Pro-Putin Republicans aren't just "an oddity", they're TRAITORS.
No less.
Here's a thought, conservatives: How about we take every last bit of your democracy-hating "Project 2025" - where you plan to shove executive authority down America's throat - and implement it TODAY - while Joe Biden's still POTUS.
How about we execute YOUR power move NOW? The Democrats turn it on YOU and THEY assume power forever and ever and ever? Ya game?
Or is this just one more thing (destroying democracy) that's only okay if you're a Republican.

How much benefit of the doubt can one criminal get?
We've cut Donald Trump so much slack, there's literally no more slack to give.
Is "The boss said he planned to stay in power" smoking gun enough for those who STILL, to this day, question whether Trump knew what he was doing was wrong? FFS, Trump walked onto our political stage already a criminal many times over. And a fraud. And a rapist.
His malevolence preceded him!
At last, can we not finally agree? Donald Trump KNEW and KNOWS exactly what he's doing.
We need to speed all prosecutions along. The sooner we get to the punishment phase, the sooner this bullshit will stop.

If we forced gun owners to insure their weapons for liability, the insurance industry would explain - in dollars and cents - how dangerous having a gun in your house is versus NOT having a gun.
If every gun purchaser had to also purchase liability insurance for their death machine (that's what guns literally are), far fewer of them would purchase guns - because they couldn't afford the insurance bite.
I wonder if that's why we've never forced the owners of a device designed to KILL people to take FINANCIAL responsibility for their possession. Cars kill people BY ACCIDENT yet we're all forced - by law - to insure ourselves in case something UNEXPECTED happens.
The gun industry has bamboozled America to literal death.
This past weekend, I took time off from the horror movie we all live in to visit a place where horror is revered and everyone's actually incredibly nice!

Our news media can't handle Donald Trump.
They can't handle insurrectionist Republicans.
They can't handle anything more complicated than a horse race.
And the way they handle horse races sucks.
In this episode, we have scares to share at HORRORCON LA 2023.
As I keep learning: the #HorrorCommunity is sweet, generous and a pleasure to spend time with!

If you've never been to a Horror Convention, you're missing something. They really are fun - and fascinating!
I just did my first - HORRORCON LA 2023 - as both a panelist, a panel moderator and at an autograph table.
In this episode, we share the whole experience. Like I said - fun and fascinating!

Kevin McCarthy's entire act has been reduced to thumbing his nose at reporters because he still hasn't been dragged - kicking and screaming - from his job as Speaker Of The House.
@e23e989f Rich people didn't get rich by throwing their money down a black hole.
That's what Trump is now.
But the money will have a larger problem. Koch dollars helped pay for the insurrection. So did lots of rich donor dollars.
That will come to haunt every last one of them because how it got paid for will be on the prosecution table.
Once New Jersey gets a load of how much New York State is making from seizing Donald Trump's properties, it'll be a matter of time before New Jersey starts asking the same questions about Donald Trump and the taxes his companies pay to New Jersey.
@80651a2a That was the past. He was never criminally indicted before now. And he never had his business dissolved out from under him.
Forget the past. Trump can't live in it either.
@1d7c6fc8 His business is dissolved. He has not shit to move. His assets now belong to New York state.
All contracts with the company are now null and void. That applies to Trump & his adult children. Their lenders - and these people rely heavily on lenders - now see them as risks no one in their right mind would take.
Starve credit junkies of credit and they'll die.
@1f347229 Well, consider that without a Trump Org, he no longer has a business bank account. Those all just vanished. He no longer has assets. Those are about to be seized. He no longer has an organization to organize his criminality.
The emperor is now financially naked. He'll appeal, but he'll lose. This really is catastrophic. To him, to his kids. It really did just blow them all up financially.
Donald Trump might not realize it yet, but his whole world just BLEW UP.
A partial summary judgment in his NY tax fraud case has made the dissolution of the Trump Org mandatory.
And there's still going to be a trial - starting Monday - to determine how big the fine's going to be.
Want to know how to destroy Donald Trump?
This will begin to undermine him in ways he can't fathom. His whole empire is about to shatter.

@9a42074c@a763f0a6 The first time I ever saw a number tattooed into a person's flesh was my first grade Hebrew School teacher's arm. This was back in the 1960's. Though we were all 6, we all knew how that tat got on her arm.
@3fe52772 Some people want ONLY the "magic" that comes from knowing nothing - when everything seems "magical". They can't conceive of the idea that knowledge itself has powerful - magical - qualities.
Poor, poor Lindsey Graham - caught in the spotlight's harsh glare again... I wonder what Lindsey's doing in those photos they have - you know, the ones they're holding over Lindsey's head as kompromat. I suspect those photos were part of what the FBI found in Trump's safe at Mar-A-Lago.
I know what I think is in those photos but let's put it out to the floor:
What's Lindsey Graham doing in the kompromat photos Donald Trump is holding over Lindsey's head?
Our friend Roger Nygard made a great little documentary a while back called "TREKKIES". Roger was one of the first people to see how Star Trek had done something to and for its fans that few other shows had ever done before.
Being Trekkies (or Trekkers) empowered those fans. Their love for that world gave them far more than just pleasure and entertainment. It empowered them.
That's why we appreciate our fans!

What if Donald Trump was never the legitimate POTUS?
Or have we undermined the word "legitimate" so that even a criminal like Trump can qualify as "legit" just cos he did the kabuki?
Maybe it's a shitty idea to think of "cheating to win" as just "another way to win".

In point of fact, Donald Trump is NOT "running for election".
What Trump is doing is going through the motions of running - of appearing to run.
But "running for election" means you abide by the election's results. If you win, good! If you lose, you accept that defeat and move on!
Trump has no intention of accepting defeat. He still hasn't accepted his previous loss!
Trump doesn't view the 2024 election as an election the way the rest of us do. He sees it as a kabuki stage upon which he will personally finish what he started in 2016 - the dismantlement of American democracy.
That wasn't Trump's personal intention when he started. He only saw personal enrichment beyond his wildest, greediest dreams. The RW Money Machine had already begun its move to hijack the judiciary - using Mitch McConnell as point "man". Mitch did well by his monied benefactors. He cheated Obama (and We The People) out of OUR SCOTUS seat and then pulled another SCOTUS seat out of his corrupt ass by shoving Amy Barrett down America's throat AFTER Trump had lost the election.
Trump isn't the only Republican actively engaged in working directly against the will (and votes) of We The People.
We keep calling criminal things by ordinary names. It turns criminal things ordinary - and that won't serve us at all!
