Like Granny D, I have watched my own beloved country change, and I am angry beyond words about what I see. I grew up seeing America as the equivalent of the movie good guy, the hero in the white hat who came to the rescue of those in need around the world. I have watched in silent horror as the corporations, the captains and the kings of industry, used a comparatively small outlay of cash to buy the Republicans to use as their shills. George W. Bush is the puppet cowboy-king of shills, the proverbial emperor with no clothes. Every day, I watch these evil men legalize, legitimize, and institutionalize robbing the poor to pay the rich. They are carving up America like a giant carcass and doling out choice chunks of its meat to themselves and their cronies. Since the Democrats have been sipping at the same corporate teat where the Republicans have been gorging for the past generation, the fascists are free to do their worst; there is no longer any opposition. There is no one left to stand up for the rights of the American people, the Constitution, or the democracy, which I fear will be replaced by a fascist dictatorship in my lifetime. Wake up, America: we need a REVOLUTION NOW!
These throwback mash-ups are great! tRUmp has shit so hard and so fast on so much that it's too easy to forget just how much he's done...
...aren't you glad you watched those? I know I was!
If you read todaze post on the main blawg, you know I agree with Randi that these are our darkest days...and I didn't even cover tRUmp's attack on the media and his pushing of the MAGA Pill website that makes Alex Jones look as calm, cool, collected, and rational as Anderson Cooper. tRUmp's CNN attack legitimizes dictatorships all over the world denouncing honest reporting as "fake news," justifying themselves to continue raping, pillaging, stealing, and literally enslaving people. How much damage can one extremely damaged man in the White House do?!??
Ugh. Well, dammit, if none of the fucking sexual assault-committing predators in the GOP are resigning, then Al Franken damn well better not resign. Same for John Conyers, whose behavior is allegedly worse than Franken's.
SNL really nails Uday, Qusay, and smarm-master Julian "As punchable as Martin Shkreli" Assange
Under the vicious Republican tax plan, if you make less than $75,000 per year, your taxes will go UP so that millionaires' and billionaires' taxes can go DOWN. Let THAT sink in!
Great interview on psychopathy--it's all tied to fear. Altruistic people feel and understand fear; psychopaths do not feel fear no matter the setting. That makes them impervious to punishment. Another flag for psychopathy is lack of empathy. Just like...you know.
If you're strong enough to have the fudge scared out of you even with the daily fresh hell heaped on us by the tRUmpublicans, turn off the lights and watch this...if you dare!
