That's just deep-seated psychosis there

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Are there term limits for Olympic athletes?

Excerpt Kendzior book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

"Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern...The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait."

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Not every disgusting thing that Trump does or says is to distract from another disgusting thing. He's a filthy, racist pervert. Sometimes an amoral dirtbag is just an amoral dirtbag.

He hasn't lost Tim Scott. Tim Scott is 100% vested in MAGA.

Men are animals

ME: Your boss is corrupt, sadistic, and showing obvious signs of dementia. Wtf is wrong with you, the rest of the cabinet, and Republicans in Congress?

BESSENT: (grinning) Everything is going according to plan.

Wow. That's a shitty comeback. The grinning fool is getting sloppy.

Jackhammering Into the Sewer A look through the Epstein files.

"If careerists had not been so easy to bribe and blackmail, ordinary people would not have to suffer under this group of sadistic oligarchs and politicians. Our era is the culmination of complicity."

Here's my favorite kid character, whose father always sings at weddings. Da wrote the little ditty to My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, but was already told, "Do it mine own self"...

(Forgive the odd spacing, IDK what happened)

He said he wanted her to be satisfied with just one man, just him. That’s what a relationship is, he said. He could hear how uncool that sounded. She said monogamy was a sexist, patriarchal social convention designed to control women and give men confidence that they were really the father of their children. That was a lot to process. “Okay, okay, I don’t know, maybe so. But if that’s how you feel, why didn’t you just tell the truth about it and not let me find out that you were doing it on the sly?” “Because I knew you’re react exactly like this,” she said. “You’re fucking some other guy! How do you expect me to react?” “Luke, I got news for you. It’s a scoop. You ready for it?” She put her face near his and enunciated every world like she was talking to a half-deaf moron. “You’re a boring and small-minded defender of the sexual and racial status quo, and I’m fucking done with you.”

Evie is done with monogamy and done with Luke. #WIPsnips #confident #writesky

The northern markets had been mostly decimated by the Krale’s airship impact, with the area being reworked into a makeshift workshop of sorts. Having an intact craft capable of breaching the skies would be a great boon against the enemy. Indeed, it was impressive, a vessel capable of flight and similar in size to one of the countless tradeships I had traveled throughout the years. Capable of housing at least a hundred occupants, if not more. The runes were the biggest issue. Local craftsman, those responsible for the upkeep of the Grand Riotion Capital, were confident they could return the ship to its previous form. Without the runes to grant it flight, however, it would simply remain an impediment to the residents

Cyph, who kept their hair slicked up with some kind of grease, sidled up and slumped into a confident, wide legged seat in the rusty chair Glitch had just vacated. Their uniform was of black leather and neat details, full of pockets. Cyph leaned toward Niwa, bit their lip seductively, and breathed, “So, how long you staying with us?”

Ashley remained silent with her arms crossed around her bent right knee, too peeved for words. As he reached the nurse’s station to order an X-ray, the laugh Matt held back finally escaped. He almost sent Nat a text, patient confidentiality and another patient stopped his hand. Thirty minutes later, he reentered the curtained room, X-ray in hand. When Ashley caught sight of it, her cheeks drained of color as her eyes widened and her body stiffened. “My sister wants to ask you out, but she’s scared,” Ashley said as a deflection.

You got a game tonight?
Yep. Against the Vols.
Feeling confident?
I settled into my seat.
Mostly? My linemates are slower than I am, so I keep getting ahead of them
Use that. You don’t have to go in a straight line. Keep the other team guessing.

Robin knew there were women in the city guard. All the same, it felt unchivalrous to have a one whose job it was to throw herself between him and a crossbow bolt. Not that he was confident Aubrei’s loyalty would stretch that far if push came to shove.

Black text, green background, “confidence” x2 highlighted pink And so the partnership between Ace Starr and Eastman, Corp. began. He has no clue I was once Apollo. That would've required him to look at his son more than once a month. He makes up for it now, looking at me all the time. He has to. I'm the face of his company. And he loves me, finally. It just took a basket of apples to get him there. It was hard at first, talking to him, hoping he didn't realize who l was, but wishing he would see the Apollo in me, see how successful his son became. In the end, though, it didn't matter who he loved me as, as long as he did. And downing my own bottles of Pure East helped me gain CONFIDENCE in those early days. Now I don't need it to feel that CONFIDENCE bubbling in me. I get that from the knowledge of all I've accomplished. Not to mention the screaming fans. Not that it stops me from drinking it.

It took a lot of artificial confidence to get from shy, sullen Apollo Eastman to confident, smiling Ace Starr, but his success led to a persona even his own dad couldn’t recognize.

Well, not that that was hard

From Hero/Villain 🦹🏼🍎

Able to relax and just look, she didn't realize she was appreciatively trailing her eyes up from [S]'s braced paws to that black-white furry head with large ears flicking. Only when she met [S]'s larger eyes did Caoimhe realize they'd locked gazes, and Caoimhe swallowed a rock in her throat. The calm, serious focus in those so-pale eyes was appraising, but Caoimhe also realized it made [S] look incredibly powerful and confident. She wasn't just a formidable beast or monster. There was a primal force mixed with elegance in [S]'s bearing that was so alien to the other werewolves they'd fought. Caoimhe thought she was absolutely magnificent. The colors in the fur, the body language, those eyes, it all left her quietly breathless.

It's clear from the jump that Caoimhe likes werewolves, and would rather be learning about them rather than fighting them, so this is less establishing and much more expressing her admiration for [S] while unleashed.

He sure does have a lot of faith in things that can't be proven. It would seem almost child-like in its ignorance if it wasn't so dangerous.

The cab ride to her apartment gives me yet another opportunity to analyze the last twenty-four hours for indications as to what she’ll decide. I’ve been tallying positives and negatives, guessing at her motivations and needs, but I'm not confident about any answer. #WIPSnips
