Can't Wait Until The Message Is Out

Will he have the guts to suggest: "Big protest in N.Y.C. on July 11th. Be there, will be wild!"? Doubt it, & even less likely enough chumps would show. But he could be desperate enough. And I know I'd enjoy seeing the streets of New York slick w/ the comingled blood of Nazi freaks & NYPD ossifers. And Nazi freak NYPD ossifers.

Shirt Of The Anti-Colonialist Future

Temperature's rising; jackets & ties as formalwear will be going the way of the icecaps. Beat the heat w/ a guayabera.

Michael Manley, populist Jamaican prime minister, specifically advocated for the guayabera as an anti-colonialist mode of dress,^[20]. Conversely, the shirt was later banned in Parliament by the conservative Jamaica Labour Party^[21].

Used to sport one myself, possibly a Mexican variation, which I purchased at the Goodwill.

Doubt If This Dope Could Arrest A Fly

Big talk from a little freak.

In 2016, the presidential race was decided based on candidates releasing lists of potential Supreme Court nominees.

In 2024, I want to see lists of which Democrat officials are going to be put in prison.

This is what happens when you cross the Rubicon.

Balding four-eyed Nazi pinhead there has at least two faces; fuller hypocrisy report at Mediaite.

“If you are a state AG/prosecutor with original criminal jurisdiction, you had better be drafting up charges, indictments, and warrants for every Democrat official involved in this insane, treasonous attack on our entire constitutional republic,” he mused in another post.

No matter how amusing it is that the right wing all have these junior high mean girl personalities, many of them are paranoid, serious & dangerous.

“Some of them are psychopathic cases and would ordinarily be receiving treatment somewhere.”

"Revenge & Deportation" would probably be more strictly accurate, but this is close enough.

A Nation Lives In Fear

Also Childish Stupidity & Ignorance

Children indeed. Scared of a housecat.

Neighbors of the Los Padres trail in Ventura County were convinced they’d spotted a baby mountain lion on their security cameras this month.

But it was not a small cougar. It was a big house cat, California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials told The Times on Tuesday.

The McGee family of Thousand Oaks told KTLA they’d spotted a cougar cub on their property after reviewing security footage from motion-activated cameras. Other neighbors were fearful for their pets, the news channel reported.

But Tim Daly, public information officer for Fish and Wildlife’s South Coast and Inland Desert regions, said the agency investigated the claim and found that the animal in question was in fact a large domestic cat.

“One of our biologists saw the story after it appeared and made sure this morning the rest of us were aware,” he said.

The McGees did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

It’s not the first time California residents have mistaken a tame tabby for a ferocious wildcat.

In March, the South San Francisco Police Department posted Ring camera footage of a purported mountain lion to its Facebook page, following reports that the animal was prowling a residential neighborhood.

An update from the department clarified that the animal was in fact a domestic cat. One resident replied to the post with a picture of the pussycat asleep on a wicker chair between two smiling children.

Fucking sheep w/ their stupid cameras. Easily self-deluded chumps like this are easily convinced that swarthy hordes are spilling over the border to replace them, & all the other idiotic right-wing crap that's shoveled into their empty heads.

2024 A.D.?

First they promised flying cars, here "underground cities" are promised, w/ a firm date. This yr.! Yet not seeing either.

Another Edgar G. Ulmer classic.However, this might be closer to the truth:

In 1960, a military test pilot (Robert Clarke) is caught in a time warp that propels him to the year 2024, where he finds a plague has sterilized most of the world's population.

We can only hope.

Mission Accomplished!

What If Trump Is Right About America?

It's time to ask some hard questions about ourselves.

Can't take the conservative racial attitudes out of the Not-a-Trumper or whatever they call themselves at The Bulwark, can you? I'd guess Trump endorsers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow aren't registered voters, and probably have more in mind than a generalized brotherhood of crime; money or legal services from the Trump campaign, for starters. How you like that, donors? That aside, the enumerated points made here seem entirely & unfortunately correct, 'though the first two especially are the same sudden revelation that the G.O.P. hasn't been what it's claimed to be since they ran that shitheel Nixon in 1960. If it took y'all 50+ yrs. to come to that realization you really aren't very bright, are you? One of six:

(5) COVID. You really aren’t going to like this, but Trump was right about the politics of COVID. At the end of the day, people cared more about the economy than the deaths.

It amazes me that today when people complain about what went wrong during COVID, they talk about business closures, travel restrictions, remote schooling, and sometimes having to wear masks in public parks.

They never talk about the 1 million Americans who died from COVID during the pandemic.

Trump understood that the living do not care about the dead.2

And care little more for the living. Probably also why nothing is done about guns.

OpenAI Just Gave Away the Entire Game

The Scarlett Johansson debacle is a microcosm of AI’s raw deal: It’s happening, and you can’t stop it.

If there’s no system that enforces data ownership currently, does that mean we never owned our data before? It’s always been up for the taking. You can steal something if there’s no protection for owning it. This is what’s been happening to our data for decades and is capitalist… https://t.co/yKGTgQu6Dg

Was deadly force authorized against Biden for his docs?

Considering that both Pres. Biden & former Vice-Pres. Pence (Oddly, not mentioned. Why's that?) contacted the Nat'l. Archives & handed over the classified documents they found, there was no reason for raids. Can this idiocy be blamed on steroid abuse or can we blame recessive Neanderthal genes?

Could well be both. Neanderthals in the news. They probably didn't get nuance either.

How Many Commandments Was That?

More on legislating the biggest lie, from Slacktivist.

... [T]hat’s a problem, because there are a lot of different versions of the Ten Commandments, all of which are phrased and enumerated differently. The version of “The Ten Commandments” mandated by Horton’s bill is not taken from any of those. It is, instead, the version concocted in 1950 by the Fraternal Order of Eagles and Cecil B. DeMille.

Yes, really.

This is not “The Ten Commandments” that can be found in any Bible. It’s “The Ten Commandments” that Hollywood used to promote DeMille’s 1956 blockbuster The Ten Commandments.

Joel Webbon Provides A Prescription
For Christian Nationalism

Webbon later insisted that nations must be governed by men who use their power to ensure that “we will serve the Lord, whether you like it or not.”

“We are going to behave as a Christian people,” Webbon proclaimed. “And what does that mean? It means we’re going to ban pornography. It means we’re going to ban no-fault divorce. It means we are going to absolutely, utterly abolish abortion, including in vitro, including the hormonal birth control pill, every single one of its forms; not just the Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas, but we’re going to go down to the local CVS and we’re going to start knocking those pills off the shelf. No more human sacrifice. So, a civil magistrate can do that. He can and should do that.”

Webbon concluded by completely agreeing when his co-host asserted that it is preferable to see the United States become a Christian nation under whatever form of government is necessary to achieve that result rather than to see it remain a republic.

“I’d rather have a Christian monarchy than our current state of affairs,” Webbon replied.
