Spent all day with the cameras at Big Lagoon in the broiling sun. As usual, it was worth it.

The fact that a major American political party nominated for President a twice impeached, self admitted serial sexual assaulter who was found legally liable for rape, a felon convicted of over 30 crimes, currently out on bail awaiting sentencing, facing multiple ADDITIONAL felony indictments, a guy who was so lousy at business he bankrupted a casino, who led an armed insurrection against the US and who is threatening to do it again, well, Sir, that is pretty fucking WEIRD.

For 248 years, up until yesterday, the President of the United States served the the American people.
Today, courtesy of John Roberts' betrayal, we the people now serve the president.

2024-07-02 22:30:02

So, one candidate for leader of the country is an anti-vaccine conspiracy nut who eats bbq'd dog, has a parasitic worn in his brain, and bragged about sexually assaulted his babysitter with the comment "I ain't no church boy."
And he's not even close to being the worst person in the race.

2024-06-30 22:30:03

If your religion is so great, how come you have to threaten people with it?
I mean, what kind of miserable god comes up with the idea of eternal torture in the first place? If you have to depend on fear and threats to keep people in line, maybe you're not the good guy.

If you let this guy back into office, if you don't soundly defeat the GOP in every branch of government, in every elected office at every level, these fascists will make it ILLEGAL not to support Trump.
They'll make any resistance to Trump treason and they'll either put you in prison or they'll put you against the wall. THEY'RE LITERALLY TELLING YOU WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO GO.
You better show up.

I think this is where I repeat myself: Debates are a terrible way to choose a leader.
This is mostly two guys telling you how much they hate each other. Now, one of those guys is a decent human being and the other one is a lying sack of treasonous shit, but still there's no substantive policy debate going on here. It's mostly just about how much each one things the other sucks.

Imagine a justice and legal system that operated this way. Where indictments, convictions, and sentencing was at the arbitrary whim of random government officials playing to the mob.
We used to have that in America. It was called lynching.
A court that can let an Alex Jones go because he supports the ruling politicians can just as easily imprison and torture a Nelson Mandela because he doesn't.

Why do the cars that people use to get to the shops and their jobs, etc, need to be an enormous 4x4 truck with huge mudder tires that can climb mountains towing boat with a load of fence posts and cattle feed bags in the back? Is that really a thing that happens in the suburbs all that often?

I'm just sitting drinking bourbon in the early afternoon, idly waiting for Republicans to declare how Hunter Biden is now very popular with African Americans because, you know, felonies.

2024-06-11 20:30:03

Welp, they've found Hunter Biden guilty on all three federal gun charges.
What?
No, I'm not protesting. Not at all. I'm saying that's a great start. Now, let's get busy and start enforcing those laws for everyone else too. Whole shitload of Americans who shouldn't be allowed to purchase or own guns, let's enforce those laws. Start with a crackdown on every gun dealer, gun store, and gun show.
Glad to see Republicans finally onboard.

Once you convince people that the earth is only 6000 years old and two of every kind of animal lived within walking distance of Noah's house, Noah, a guy who allegedly built a boat the size of a WWII battlecruiser by himself, out of wood, with bronze age hand tools, in his backyard, you can convince them of anything.
Anything except actual reality, that is.

Substitute "Adolf Hitler," "Charles Manson," "The KKK," etc for "Alex Jones" in Sorbo's comment. It reads the same. And just as wrong.
We're not trying to shut down Alex Jones because he's right. We want him held accountable because he's a goddamn monster.

Weird how Biden rigged the court but it was all Republicans and former Trump employees, friends, and associates who testified against him.

2024-06-02 01:30:03

If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to worry about.
- Republicans when laws target minorities, the poor, and average citizens.
WEAPONIZATION OF THE COURTS! PERSECUTION! WHITCH HUNT!
- Republicans when rich white men are indicted, tried in court, and found guilty by a jury.

Jesus: Feed the hungry. Clothe the poor. Heal the sick. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Judge not, least ye be judged. It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. Give up all your worldly goods and follow me. Etc.
Trump: Grab 'em by the pussy and buy my NFTs!
Republicans: They're the same really.

Wait. Wait, back up. So, you're telling me a movie about how the election was stolen from Donald Trump, a movie made by a convicted felon who lies for a living and was quid pro quo pardoned by Donald Trump, is not, strictly speaking, truthful?
And news media quoted this movie but now have to apologize but also say there was no way to know? That's what you're telling me?

Thing was: Nixon WAS way worse on Vietnam. Horribly so. Out of 58,000, there's at least 30,000 names on the Vietnam Memorial that would be alive if not for Nixon and Kissinger.

The state of America is such that the candidate with part of his brain eaten by worms is only the second worst choice in this election.

2024-05-09 16:30:02

Looking at the state of America, I'm guessing people with dead worms in their brain may be a lot more common than we previously thought.

You know, I sometimes think we've forgotten just how utterly insane the Trump presidency was the first time around.
Because people are actually considering giving this con man a second chance at it.
