Even harder to believe / accept that steps have not been taken these past four years to establish some obstacles against these zealots. Somebody tell me that's not the case, that the entire professional class of the federal government isn't about to hear "You're Fired!!!" echo through every corridor.
"...there must be a response to address this, and it must happen fast." Yeah, sure. And just who is going to address the issue with some degree of urgency? Seriously. Who?
Sorry but I'm just gonna sit on my couch and point and laugh.
At all the Latinos riding in the FRONT car of the Trump Train...to whatever shithole country they or their parents escaped from so they could come here and shithole our country up by electing Trump.
At all the ungrateful Arabs who really would have benefited from watching the Underpants Gnomes episode of South Park (Defeat Kamala>?>Free the Palestinians) who will soon spend their days in the ruins of Gaza working as Trump slaves turning the bones of all the Palestinian children Bibi is about to genocide out of existence into Trump Seaside Hotels.
At all the goobers complaining about the price of eggs and bacon as they grapple with REAL inflation of the 20%+ variety caused by their beloved tariffs (national sales tax) and food scarcity caused by deporting all the people who pick and process all the food, including the eggs and bacon, which will become rare.
But mostly at asshats like my own brother who I had to block from my Facebook this morning after he lied to me about his 401k going up under Trump and down under Biden....bragging about his "comfortable retirement" right after he votes for the guys who will loot the Social Security trust fund, end Medicare, completely tank the economy and especially the stock market....as they watch that nest egg evaporate in the steam of their boiling racism and ignorance.
Republicans are now in near total control and all Republicans are in lockstep with Trump. There are NO anti-Trump Republicans Apparently the majority of Americans prefer an authoritarian government. Those of us who prefer a more Democratic system are now in the minority. Reversing this, if it can be sone at all, will take decades.
Hope all of the Dems who forced Biden out are pleased with themselves. Hate to say "i told you so" ,but I said repeatedly at the time it was a big mistake.
That's pretty much what he said about women. It seems to apply to men who support him, too. I wonder how they'd feel about it if they took a moment to thank about it.
so I am now reading: Christian Nationalists concerned that they are actually bringing Jesus back, at the End of Times , and that means Judgement Day, FOR THEM TOO!
Ta, Evan. I. Just. Can't. Even.
Have they thanked Putin for the election win? The math isn't mathing.
.
Locate Putin's location and treat the place like Dresden in WWII and don't stop 'til you have a confirmation of the kill
.
i.e. start a global nuclear war?
Not if you get him quick enough
(Don't sweat it dude -- l'm obviously venting)
No worries. Everyone's a little tense at the moment for obvious reasons. Take care of yourself, yeah?
What would it take to move Inauguration day to say, next week?
I'm not sure if I can watch. I did turn off the live comments. Nasty people.
I'm going back to my belief that 95% of people are stupid assholes.

Muskrat is going to "clean house"!!
"...there must be a response to address this, and it must happen fast." Yeah, sure. And just who is going to address the issue with some degree of urgency? Seriously. Who?
And in case you missed it, there's this other lovely story about how Putin tried to blow up cargo planes headed to the US. Hope someone gifts Trump some triple-thick knee pads for all the time he's going to spend sucking Putin's dick. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/western-officials-suspect-russia-was-behind-a-plot-to-put-incendiary-packages-on-cargo-planes
I suggest he knell on broken glass.
Goes back some time, but still applicable: Ladies and Gentlemen, Steeleye Span!

Hey, we all need a hobby, right?
I'm all set up for life in the 19th century, and have the skill set and know how to do it. Most people aren't
I'll just do what I would have done in the 19th century: Die.
Americans blissfully handed Donald Trump all three branches of government. He can now be the "God-King" Enjoy!!
What declines faster? Sir or the U.S.? Place your bets! Place your bets!
Problem. is it's not just "Sir" He's only the catalyst that has placed the whole gang of Nazis in position.
Try telling Sir that.

Pretty thoughts Liz, but I'm afraid you're a few days late.
Citizens across this country have spoken and elected Trump
our courts are infected with maga judges
state and local governments are helping to strip away all the guardrails of our democracy
Republicans are now in near total control and all Republicans are in lockstep with Trump. There are NO anti-Trump Republicans Apparently the majority of Americans prefer an authoritarian government.

Trump performed brilliantly among all the groups he constantly insulted. Treat people like shit they'll love you for it!

It's a hierarchy. Women of Color on the bottom, White Christian men at the top Everyone else stratified in between
so I am now reading: Christian Nationalists concerned that they are actually bringing Jesus back, at the End of Times , and that means Judgement Day, FOR THEM TOO!
Can ya say, consciousness of guilt?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Biblical Profits. Always right, always true.
That's damn funny.
'The DAY AFTER ' was an interesting movie, like, back mid-80s.
I never saw Brokeback Mounting -- is that a still from the film?
