Scores of lies

CNN cuts away from Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally to fact check him: “We are hearing scores of lies from the former president. He has come on stage and said a number of things that are just not true…” pic.twitter.com/smwUTtZNor

Imagine what President Obama might be thinking about the 2016 election and Donald Trump, but can’t say publicly.

We Can't

Don't put these assholes in charge.

The Coming Weirdness

We are in need of some national therapy - and maybe that's what we're doing.

I've been thinking lately that In the past, so many "on the left" criticized this country so harshly, that it made a lot of people "on the right" knee-jerk their way into thumping their chests and wrapping themselves in the flag and doing all those annoying love-it-or-leave-it things they used to do.

Well, kids, the script done flipped. "The left" is where you find the flag-wavers now. The pundits said it after the Dems' convention: Democrats have reclaimed the flag, and patriotism, and love of country as a badge they can wear on their sleeve.

And that leaves an asshole like Trump to further twist that old patriotism on the right into an even uglier configuration so he can go on taking advantage of otherwise decent folks, leading them to believe they're righteously justified in tearing down the one thing that makes it possible for Trump (and them) to behave like such assholes in the first fuckin' place.

There's a lot more "political thinking" crashing around in my brain right now, but it's such a big roiling jumble that I can't unravel it - I can't get it to smooth out enough to make it sound like anything but foil-hat nonsense.

(Not that I think anything I ever say makes any sense to anybody. Shit - I can't make even get it make sense to myself half the time)

Anyway - therapy

Hopefully, everybody's heard about it by now, but I feel the need to document it for myself.

Yes - they're bigoted exclusionist assholes, and they're not even trying to hide it now.

They've gone from dog whistle to klaxon to fog horn to skywriting and fireworks. What more do we need?
