Every Day

...45* comes out with some new fuckery. Nothing new about that, of course; it's what he's always done. It's what he's always been about. And I can't believe it's what we have to address every fucking day - what we have to talk about every fucking day - knowing that getting us to talk about him is his whole fucking point. There's nothing else to it. Exposure and brand awareness. "There's no such thing as bad publicity".

And somehow, 20-30% of us are still with him.

And we keep going along with each new iteration of the Cult45 Cliffhanger. Like we're a buncha knuckleheaded 10-year-olds at the local movie house on a random Saturday in 1935.

WaPo's front page today:



Previously, I've put up links to Amy Siskind's posts at Medium, where she keeps a list of these shitty things that Cult45 has been doing. I guess I need to get back to doing that more regularly.

Last week was #100, and the list had more than 150 items on it.


58. On Sunday, WSJ reported GOP operative Peter W. Smith raised at least $100,000 to search for Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 deleted emails. Smith mysteriously died 10 days after first speaking to the Journal in Week 35.

68. The offices of Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency, a troll farm, was set ablaze. Earlier this year, more than a dozen employees of the operation were indicted in the Mueller probe for interfering in the 2016 election.


And this is from Reuters, via The Guardian:



There can be no story more representative of the fucked-up-edness we find ourselves in than "Dead Pimp Wins Election".
