This is just the funniest sentence ever “coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.” You’re saying it’s all about women and minorities being snowflakes but then immediately say men are “demoralized” are the white men tough and competent or are they fragile little porcelain dolls that will break in the mere presence of a black woman doctor, general, firefighter, lawyer, leader of any kind?
Oh Thornton, you are such a handsome cat. As everyone knows, handsome cats are allowed to pee on bathroom rugs. Thanks, Dok, for the Thornton content! I can't comment on the rest of this because then I'll be screeching like a banshee.
"'We’re going to give it out directly. It’ll be from the president’s office. We’ll have somebody here, could be Homeland Security.'
"But golly, wouldn’t that be prone to abuse, like maybe a president deciding to punish states that didn’t vote for him, or whose leaders said something mean to him? Why yes, that is exactly the idea, did you forget who’s in charge and doesn’t intend to leave, ever?"
You have a good point, Dok, and I don't doubt that is part of the rationale, but I bet the main reason is that, like in COVID with those checks (remember when passing out money to the American people because of COVID was a great thing supported by MAGA? Pepperidge Farm remembers), Trump just wants his name and probably image to be pasted on it so people will worship him and think it only happened because of him.
Heck, I'm betting that Mike Johnson is teeing up a bill that will require all government relief checks from now into perpetuity to be autopen signed by Trump and have one of his NFTs on it and all funds will only be payable in $trump coin.
"He’s also tweeted a lot of racist shit quite recently like, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”
Strange that all these weak little men keep insisting on how only white men can do anything and that we should be a meritocracy when the entire admiration of the proven rapist and hater of cops and our Constitution TACO is filled with DEI (Drunk, Extremist, Incompetent) hires and instead of hiring on merit they want the civil service to only be staffed by people who right the best essay on why they should be the person to lick TACO's taint.
Idiots like this have done more to make people think that white men are weak, petulant babies incapable of succeeding on their own merit than a thousand years of bad HR videos.
"First up, tangential to the situation in Los Angeles, one of our favorite thinkers about things, Rebecca Solnit (we all read her book together during the pandemic, dickety-five years ago, remember?) found herself banned from FascesBook this week."
Wait, Facebook still exist? I thought all information on the webs is now spread through dance moves on the Tik-Tok now that Trump Media owns that . . . .
Oh, that's right, that won't be announced until later this year and that it will be mandatory for you to use it to post anything political on the web. Got a little ahead of Stephen Miller there.

You can see in that last pic that Thornton is wise beyond your years.
Ta, Dok. Too much head shaking.
*wouldn’t that be prone to abuse, like maybe a president deciding to punish states that didn’t vote for him*
Why, you say that like there's something WRONG with it! 😮
Thornton looks pissed!

Máebh suggests Thornton considers curtains for ultimate safety and invisibility.

Look at those curtains, with no claw marks or snags!

Which is worse, Fascesbook or FecesBook?
I think gloves should be worn in either case.
That's depressing.
