IMO, they have to be doing some of this on purpose, don't they?

This could be a clever subliminal stab at telling the rubes the GOP needs them to stay dumb.

IDK - I'm just spit-ballin' a little. Republicans are indeed the party of the Ignorant Slobs, and they're pretty good at filling their voters' heads with all manner of confetti and cotton wadding, so there's no reason for me to think they wouldn't go for an appeal to the subconscious.

Some Epstein shit.

And some retribution shit. And Newsom does it right. He calls Trump out for the skeevy prick he is, and smacks Trump right in the kisser with it.

Remember - Trump sues everybody except the ones who tell the truth about him.

Every American. Every day.

Oy

Trump is doing his damnedest to stay in office.

He's nominated people for the federal bench who refuse to say that a president who has served two terms is not eligible for a third term, according to very plain and obvious language at the beginning of the first section of the 22nd amendment:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

 

Why do we have to fuck with this?

Where are the honorable people in government who should be jumping all over this?

The Big Reminder

Never forget, and never again.

Hannah Arendt's message is not so much that we have to do everything possible to protect the Jews - although it should be obvious that it's very important to do that. It's just not more important than protecting all of us from that kind of nightmare reality.

Her point is that we have to remember how the shit gets started, how it's sustained, and the simple fact that it doesn't take a bunch of monsters doing monstrous things to bring about something as awful and soul-crushing as the Holocaust. The potential for genocide lives in all of us, all the time.

All it takes is for normal everyday people to stop questioning what's going on around them.

We go along to get along. We don't look hard enough at what our government is doing on our behalf - with our resources - to people who are really no different from us.

The leopards will eventually eat your face too.

When we normalize cruelty.

Perspective

1. If you start with a million dollars, and you spend $10,000 every day, you'd run out of money in about 3½ months
2. If you start with a billion dollars, and you spend $10,000 every day, you'd run out of money in about 273 years
3. If you start with a trillion dollars, and you spend $10,000 every day, you'd run out of money in about 273,000 years

Nobody earns that kind of money

Centimillionaires,

billionaires,

and trillionaires

are parasites

A Thought

is that I can't be absolutely certain of anything

That Me Too Thing

Guys - c'mon.

As a man, you're more likely to have been raped than you are to be falsely accused of rape.

The Bond villain always reveals his dastardly plan, and is destroyed, not so much by his hubris (altho that's part of it), but by his self-loathing, and his subconscious need to be punished.

She just keeps bringing the truth, and explaining it in ways that make it easier for me to grab on to.

"A man just became the world's first trillionaire and millions of broke people threw him a party."
