Well, my shouting into the wind was ignored and belittled. But here we are and rubbing the collective noses of naysayers and belittlers in their own shit is scant satisfaction for not being paid attention to. But it’s all that’s left for me. My sympathies are with Pandora.

Ass out of u, ass out of me. Yep. My assumptions that far better educated minds than mine would be able to see this as clearly were misguided, to say the least. Ya hear me @thebradblog.bsky.social ? You may have not LEGALLY shit upon me, but the turd still stinks.

During that time I read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Wm. Shirer, and followed it up with The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt. Little did I know that those tomes would be a predetermination of my ability to recognize the intentions of tRump in these times.

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État — The New Republic During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

Interesting that Tomasky has finally found the signs of tRump’s authoritarian bent.
I cleaned up a septic backup in 1973 and ended up spending months getting over the resulting hepatitis infection.

Bless her heart.

Fair’s fair and bless their hearts.

Fun Fact: The Southern Baptist Convention decided to run liberals out of the church in the mid 1970’s.
Okay, so it’s not so fun.

It’s always been that simple. That the rich control the media and the Grand Old Pedophiles is the reason the propaganda sucked in the masses to prevent it from happening. First we destroy public education. Then it’s a cakewalk.

I’m assuming you have read One Nation Under Blackmail and are referring to Separation of Church and Hate. It’s what one would expect from Fugelsang, a blend of factual representation of Old and New Testaments mixed with ribald commentary. As a representation of the Bible in these times, it’s a 9.

The worst best kept secret of the rich and shameless. Send them all to Gitmo, seize their assets and put them in the Social Security/Medicare/VA funds.

Crockett vs. Paxton. I drool in anticipation of the debates.

Ultimately, this is going to be a major shitstorm for Donny Littlehands. Whether the Supremes will allow anything to come out remains to be seen.

Still chuckling. I’ll have to get back to you on that.

Yep. That’s the country we live in. Egg prices are down, but everything else is through the roof. I hope the low information tRump voters are aware of what they have visited upon us.

Update: I’m almost done with Fugelsang’s Separation of Church and Hate. I needed some lighter reading about halfway through the first volume of One Nation Under Blackmail. Doing cross reference research got too demanding. Sheesh! What a cesspool we live in!

Shaken, not stirred. Plymouth is in a class of its own as it is not London dry like Tanqueray, Beefeater’s and the like. High quality ingredients without any dilution. Try this at home. Everyone I’ve served this to over the last 30 years has bug eyed enjoyed it. The glasses are in the freezer.

So the Drink of the Day in our house is chilling. After months of delay caused by Donald the Drooler’s trade abuse, Plymouth Gin returned to the shelves. I poured 14 oz of gin and one oz of Noilly Prat French dry vermouth in a pint container and put it in the freezer.

When I find that my Social Security benefits won’t cover the rent where I used to live in Denver, I’ll point out that Social Security is NOT UBI. Tax the hell out of the rich and make things better.

What he really means. Always.

With talons flashing. I like it.

So there was a point I was missing. Thanks for the clarification. No need to request another fly-by. My mind was once like a steel trap, but in my dotage it’s becoming more of a steel sieve.

The Seahawks should nonetheless stay away from the seat of undeserved power.

Business couldn’t be better! We make the mess and they pay us to clean it up!

Yeah. I’ve seen that before. A friend went through the same process. I made a framed mounting for his face mask. Not pleasant, but necessary.

Huh. So would that explain the $Billion Bebe gave to Hamas over the years? I figured the IDF ignored the preparation for Oct. 7 from the git go.

In the 2020 election there were 475 illegal votes cast, usually dead relatives ballots being cast or snowbirds voting at two addresses. Of the 475 only ALL of them were Republicans.
Physician, heal thyself.

Is Randy passing? Or is there another point I’m missing?

Vote for non fascists comes to mind. Hope that’s not a new idea, in the grand scheme of things.

That my reaction is, “Yeah, so?” instead of, “What the holy fuck?” is the disappointing sign of the times. I was born and raised in Lakewood. I know from Ohio.

I am delighted to say that my searches have found no hereditary links between FL Congressman Randy Fine and Larry Fine of Three Stooges fame. However, if the spirit of Harry “Moe” Howard wishes to pull out a clump of Randy Fine’s hair, he has my blessing.
