Maybe I should count my blessings.
Herself has a good job, plus a small pension from PERA set to start in a couple months. I have my Social Security. We have health insurance. The house and cars are paid for, we live frugally, and our financial adviser says we’re in fine shape.
But I just can’t stop thinking about Nazis.
Goddamnit, I fucking hate fucking Nazis. Especially the homegrown variety. We should be making them jump off bridges. And not into Venezuela or Greenland, either.
Michael O’Hanlon recently wrote a piece for Foreign Affairs that noted, accurately, and with the usual disclaimers, that when it comes to national security policy the current federal management really isn’t that much different from a number of its predecessors.
Ohhhh-kay. Thanks for the history lesson, Mickey. What say we try learning from our mistakes? Remembering the past to avoid being condemned to repeat it? The name George Santayana ring any bells in your cerebral carillon?
It’d be comical if it weren’t so serious. Which of the various Marvel timelines are we experiencing now, in which an unelected strutting fuck-bubble like Obergruppenführer Stephen Miller is running the country, giving Kent State scholarships to educate anyone who won’t do as they’re told, while his alleged supervisor whiles away the hours nailing Hobby Lobby kitsch to the White House walls, cheating at golf, and watching on TV as “Happy Hour” Hegseth punishes another two-bit dictator for stealing the boss’s dance moves?
If they were mine, I’d leave them out on the street with a handlettered sign reading, “Free.” Or maybe just park them in the shitter at Mar-a-Lago next to all those classified documents that should’ve served as his ticket to Leavenworth until Thanos snapped his fingers. Or was it Eileen Cannon? Whatever.
“Aren’t we supposed to be the good guys here?” asks Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., in an interview with Hanna Rosin at The Atlantic.
Not according to the gin pig at the top of the DoD org chart, who’d like to hang Kelly’s pelt on his office wall, no doubt in part because (a) Kegsbreath would like to see what a pair of actual testicles looks like, and (2) Kelly is making presidential noises just in case we ever have another one of those elections.
But first we have to make damn sure we have some midterms, this year. Take the House and the Senate; impeach, convict, and remove Comandante Piggy — take a seat and another fistful of Bayer’s finest, Porky, watch those cankles swell like poisoned puppies in the summer sun— and then, in 2028, reclaim the White House.
And none of this “let’s not look back” bullshit. Not this time. What’s the phrase? Oh, yeah: Never again.
Call me selfish, but I wanna get back to scribbling my little tee-hees, and I find this relentless “America über alles!” screeching a huge distraction.
Yo, Nazis. Here are your MAGA hats, there’s your bridge, what’s your hurry?
Mad Blog Media 
Yep. Illinois Nazis.
And the Blues Brothers nowhere in sight.
When you have a dude who only seems to respect power I wonder when the “opposition party” will ever figure out that they actually have to arrest the orange thing, convict post-haste, strip all money from him and his cohorts then go hard line FDR. Of course, they obviously don’t want to which lends credence to Dr. David Brin’s idea that most are being blackmailed by Putin. It is utterly infuriating to live through this! All it will take is one person, ONE, to actually start calling the emperor out for having no clothes, calling a spade a spade and DO SOMETHING CONCRETE and the whole illegitimate regime will crumble. I hope I live to see it so I can go laugh and the orange-utan in person.
Word buddy. Not one in the whole seems willing to call him out and his bullshit out. Especially the dipshits in congress.
The only thing he and his crowd will ever understand is a good, old-fashioned beatdown. The sort of definitive, embarrassing ass-whupping that you just don’t bounce back from. The type when you finally sort of start halfheartedly flapping your gums again the folks in earshot laugh and say, “You weren’t talking that shit after [insert your ass-whupper here] left you in traction with a wired jaw.”
Well, except for one or two late night talk show hosts. There’s a reason that one similar colleague of theirs is running Ukraine. One wonders if there weren’t a few similar ones that we don’t know were like that back in the 1700s colonies.
I didn’t make that connection. Thanks. You are right, Jimmy Kimmel called chump out big time on his January 6th show.
Kimmel seems to be a particular thorn in his side. He’s come a long way since “The Man Show.”
I wanna see the Epstein files, all the files, right now like the law requires. That includes all the files that the house committee has plus the ones they just requested from the Epstein estate by subpoena.
I wanna see this guy in an orange jumpsuit, staring glumly down at his shackled cankles, as the judge says, “Will the defendant please rise?”
I’ll settle for seeing the headstone*, if it comes to that.
* Natural causes, of course, for the poor NSA drone who has to monitor this blog.
A woman in an SUV tries to get away from an ICE robocop who is trying to pull her out of her vehicle and she is shot in the head and killed. If that isn’t Nazi I don’t know what is. I don’t care how much guff she may have been giving the ICE robo’s, no one should be killed in that situation. And Kristi Noemnuts immediately says it’s just fine to kill “terrorists” on the spot? Another Nazi move. Next this administration will be digging the trenches to bulldoze our bodies into for being so (pick one) liberal, black, gay, educated, hispanic, woke, sensible, poor aw hell….you get the idea…..
I’m not optimistic about the mid-terms as too many Americans are still tuned into the official Nazi news outlets and/or unable to see what is coming.
I am quite sure in Nazi Germany there was no “middle ground”. Shaping up that way here.
Well, there’s a lot of good TV on, y’know. And CES! Going on right now in Vegas! Robots! “Star Wars” Legos! Smart pet crates! Who has time for Nazis?
There is only one type of ending usually in these situations. And it’s a sticky mess. You think they’d learn this from history but that’s not their strong suit. (Insert weird bridge reference.) They are an eat cake moment away from absolute horror. It’s not a question of if we are upset anymore. Problem is, we’ll get that horror too.
I’ve been harping for decades it seems to the local and state and even federal Dems/Indeps that unless and until they go back to regulated media like we had under FDR onward, this will just be a repeating cycle with half of the populace believing what they are told just like Goebbels wanted.
If you do social media, use tags like #arresttrump and #shutdownfoxnews. It may not help but it can’t hurt.
Social media and cell phones are a cancer on us. Just like the billionaire bros that own them. Having an iPad or other tablet is dangerous enough. No logical reason to carry a smaller version around with you every waking moment. Digital fentanyl is what it is, and it is just as addictive by design.
