Vance et al are hyperventilating about a street fight in Cincinnati, so we’re next. The end game is to establish a brute force presence in blue cities to “protect” voters with an armed presence at polling place, especially in Black neighborhoods.

Perfect animation of The Vapors. You can alternate between Collins and Murkowski.

It’s remarkable, to choose a cabinet of celebrities with utterly no knowledge of their agencies or responsibilities. Look, there have been hack VP for geographic balance, but never, never has a President selected a cabinet of the worst of the worst: from idiots to sheer sadists.

Well, ok, but NY gave us FDR. So it evens out.

Ironically, in my work I talked with many engineers developing AI systems. To a man and a woman, all told me, “Don’t believe the hype. It looks great on the front end, but the disasters pile up at the finish line.” This, I saw for myself.

And thus I fear a future in which we gladly let gAI take care of what we think is critical thinking.

1952 dollars, but production cost $730,000, gross $217,000,000. Not bad.

Think Gary Cooper in High Noon. Contract star, studio set used a hundred times, 95% dialogue, and one of the greatest Westerns of all time….on a shoestring.

Framing.

If you are a Black man, that’s a given.

Perhaps because he had been a Marine, Ron was a leader in the LA antiwar movement, and as a leader, the LAPD clubbed him down in his wheelchair.

Better memory: his girlfriend Sam was the sassiest and 2nd most beautiful woman at Pasadena City College.

Watch “Born on the 4th of July.” Ron Kovik was a friend of mine in college. His story says much about a government that doesn’t care at all about veterans.

“Shall I compare you to a summer day?@

Tricky, comparing histories. In 1923, the authorities could jail Hitler without a second thought. That gave Hitler a martyr’s stature, building an organized MAGA of crazies, and despite his minority status, was made chancellor by a decrepit Hindenberg: end of that story, beginning of the nightmare.

When first asked to run, Ike didn’t know if he was a Democrat or Republican. In that he once voted for Dewey, he shrugged and decided he was R.

For his two terms, the moderate Eisenhower was driven crazy by Republican attack dogs, including his VP.

If the mainstream can look at the sole Englishman of stature who unrelentingly warned about Hitler —alone—please tell me the titles of their books, so I can avoid the kneejerk revisionism.

We’re not winning at SCOTUS. Thus, we had best decide how we’re going to save our democracy.
And no, don’t count on the mid-terms. Those are being dealt with, and not in our favor.

Settle, settle. There are damn few Democrats pushing back against fascism. O’Rourke’s messaging may not please you, but he’s fricking talking. How’s Schumer fighting back?

Dead, dead, dead, dead. Works for the Trump family, I guess.

Trump has deployed the Capitol Police, ICE, National Parks Service, DEA and US Marshalls to a city where crime has dropped precipitously, and proposed bringing in National Guard and federalizing the metro police. What’s left? Martial law over a city larger than Vermont…but mostly Black? Big clue.

A Jewish Catholic? Utterly different belief systems. A MAGA Democrat? Blocked, in any case.

He has to get it past Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett and Roberts. i.e,
“Fuck precedent! Fuck legal clarity!”

Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett and Roberts
= “Fuck precedent! Fuck legal clarity!”

He’s going to declare martial law in DC?

He wants to see if he can declare martial law in the absence of any emergency. If he can get it through SCOTUS, he can declare it in any blue city.

That is the reddest flag.

This presumes that they will obey the order. This goes against current trends.

You’ve seen the new official White House parking lot, previously known as the Rose Garden? Requires no undocumented gardeners. Very classy.

They will ignore the court order. That’s how it works now. We have to deal with this.

Ironically, this is the same situation Bibi Netanyahu. He needs perpetual war. Without it, he faces prison. Thus, he is making the rubble bounce, and Israelis have become furious.
