White Mediocrity Vs Everyone Else

Wanna know what we're experiencing? It's a grudge match, plain and simple - between white mediocrity and everyone else. How else to describe "Jews will not replace us"? The first time I heard that, I thought "why are you so afraid of being replaced? Replaced how? In what way?" Can I be honest? I've never thought of myself as "replace-able". Yeah, sure - I've held countless jobs where I was one hundred percent replaceable.

JD Vance is a fascist clown. That's me being kind.

Shouldn't all those Trump-Russia connections garner a little more reaction than they're getting?

Actually, it's flat out illegal to solicit foreign help or to accept foreign help. Now, imagine that the foreign help is at cyber war with your government! Now what you're doing isn't just illegal, it's TREASONOUS!

Pro-Putin Republicans aren't just "an oddity", they're TRAITORS.

No less.

Here's a thought, conservatives: How about we take every last bit of your democracy-hating "Project 2025" - where you plan to shove executive authority down America's throat - and implement it TODAY - while Joe Biden's still POTUS.

How about we execute YOUR power move NOW? The Democrats turn it on YOU and THEY assume power forever and ever and ever? Ya game?

Or is this just one more thing (destroying democracy) that's only okay if you're a Republican.

How much benefit of the doubt can one criminal get?

We've cut Donald Trump so much slack, there's literally no more slack to give.

Is "The boss said he planned to stay in power" smoking gun enough for those who STILL, to this day, question whether Trump knew what he was doing was wrong? FFS, Trump walked onto our political stage already a criminal many times over. And a fraud. And a rapist.

His malevolence preceded him!

At last, can we not finally agree? Donald Trump KNEW and KNOWS exactly what he's doing.

We need to speed all prosecutions along. The sooner we get to the punishment phase, the sooner this bullshit will stop.

Why is anyone surprised that Trump is running plays from the fascist playbook? He famously kept a copy of Hitler's speeches by his bedside.

The bloated orange jackal turd doesn't read, but he kept that book by his bedside.

He hasn't changed one iota. He's simply revealed who he's been the whole time.

If we forced gun owners to insure their weapons for liability, the insurance industry would explain - in dollars and cents - how dangerous having a gun in your house is versus NOT having a gun.

If every gun purchaser had to also purchase liability insurance for their death machine (that's what guns literally are), far fewer of them would purchase guns - because they couldn't afford the insurance bite.

I wonder if that's why we've never forced the owners of a device designed to KILL people to take FINANCIAL responsibility for their possession. Cars kill people BY ACCIDENT yet we're all forced - by law - to insure ourselves in case something UNEXPECTED happens.

The gun industry has bamboozled America to literal death.

Once that happens? There will be no way to go back. Retirement and hedge funds will begin investing in cannabis & cannabis stocks.

I'm already looking forward to "Big Cannabis's" first Super Bowl ad.

nostr:npub18pgg079sknh9fyn5pv02yzp93j7wf7ad6ppgzyhwd6jtwsrktd4q7lvu8p Agree. They need to take their place in The History Graveyard - in the plot right next to the Whigs.

Just because the GOP used to be a legitimate political party doesn't mean they're a legitimate political party today.

There's a huuuuuuuuuuuge difference between political acts and criminal acts for a political purpose.

The Republican party went fascist because it couldn't stand democracy any more.

They don't want to "run" for office - it's too risky!

Better, they think, to simply TAKE the office they want (through whatever means it takes) - then hold onto office and refuse to ever give it up.

Corporate social media - with its greed-based algorithms - can go fuck itself.

I prefer the literal #freedom of the #fediverse where everyone is their own algorithm.

It's not as simplified working with #mastodon because there are no money interests invested in simplifying it as a means to access our data and sell us shit.

Here, we sell to each other, peer to peer.

Not algorithm to algorithm.

If you don't know actor William Sadler by name, you know his face.

In this one, Bill takes us on a deep, deep dive into the craft of acting, how he first got cast on HBO's "Tales From The Crypt" (we ended up hiring Bill three more times!), and how he came up with his brilliantly funny Grim Reaper character in the Bill & Ted movies.

Best thing about Bill Sadler though? He's a really, really, REALLY nice person.

Another thank you to Mike Bouffant at the venerable nostr:npub1w4tfm6t5shcuvufa69ffzz64wwge8nlctmn6ulq96x7xpnnunlqsxehmf9 for the very kind mention on the Mike's equally venerable Blog Roll!

Not only are they worth the time to read, they're worth a donation, too.

nostr:npub1fflmueqwvf8r8ec6uysdd4qugc6pja62dc0lye756nwfa0xrm5vqaztv7d By his reasoning (and legal defense), we could say "it's our opinion that Trump is guilty as charged and should be charged as guilty right-fucking-now".
