Includes the best Thanksgiving speech ever: Wednesday: "You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides. You will play golf and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims. Especially Sarah Miller."

Trump: My mugshot makes me more popular with black voters. Immigrants are poisoning the blood of America! They’re vermin, trash, garbage. Puerto Rico is a floating island of garbage. Childless cat ladies and post menopausal women shouldn’t have same voting rights as people with kids. Jews who vote Democrat should have their head examined. Catholics who vote democrat should have their head examined.

Media: Kamala lost because she focused on identity politics instead of the economy. Trump focused on real issues and the economy!

Trump talking about the economy: Tariffs tariffs tariffs, deportations, Hannibal lecter, sharks and batteries, bird cemeteries!

I was trying to avoid saying what I really think to avoid said banhammer!

Expand full comment
Linoleum von Curmudgeon, Esq.'s avatar

When I first came here to the mommy blog I used a tactic to avoid the banhammer: I expressed the dark violence and ill will in my soul as fan fictions. The most violent ones usually involved fan fiction about the barbarian warlord known as Conan. I certainly would NEVER chop, stab, club or maim anyone because they said shitty things. But Conan? That guy has NO restraints. He ain’t afraid of any banhammer. In this case I would slightly modfiy Dennis Praeger’s name a bit, cast him as a malevolent wizard or king and set him in opposition to Conan. I would then describe the highly predictable results involving chopping, stabbing, clubbing and maiming.

Or death. I gotta admit I wrote a lot of death right into that fan fiction. Some favorite episodes include resolutions for Ammon Bundy, Jim Hoft, Rush Limbaugh, Ben Shapiro and of course the Orange POS.

BTW- Ben Shapiro suffered a particularly gruesome end- being laughed at to death.

You can kind of see trends and stuff running through the, let's say, criminal community and I've found it interesting in the past 2 decades to see how you hear one thing and think it's odd, and then a bit later you hear it again from another person, and then you see the trend.

Well, in the past week 2 different people were asked their names while being arrested and claimed to be the Archangel Michael. Both appear to have some mental health issues, but in 2 decades I've never seen that.

I crashed hard last night. Woke up late and am behind in my do nothing plans for today. On the plus side I am down about eight pounds from Oct 30. That's 32 pounds from my ideal weight (which is still 'obese' on the BMI... I would have to lose my muscle mass to get to "normal") and about 20lbs away from where I can stop taking blood pressure medication and apnia ends, but not the night terrors.

My CPAP machine helps with the sleep apnia.

But it takes gags, sewn from high thread count sheets stolen from clothes lines in the rich part of town, to control my night terror induced shrieking.

The gags were recommended by the police who kept being called to my house by concerned neighbors after the recent election.

I guess I was lucky I didn't get shot.
