The Strohmeister

I hated coloring inside the lines, so I decided to make my own I hated coloring inside the lines, so I decided to make my own. As soon as that sentence entered my head, I knew it was important. I knew it was more than the sum of its words’ meanings.

The Abusive Father and the Wayward Child: Framing Nationalism as Trauma A very sick, cruel, sadistic, manipulatively maladjusted sociopath is punishing the half of the country who haven't sold their souls to him. The Democrats refused to allow him to strip working-class people of food stamps and healthcare. Surprisingly, they held their ground as he and his minions kept the government closed—among other things—to stave off a vote to release files that could further prove his reprehensible actions. Now he’s making everyone suffer. Just like the abusive husband or father: “You made me do this.” It is textbook abuse. He will continue to destroy, to dismantle, and cover what remains with the gaudy, diamond-encrusted gold to show his opulence as millions lose food stamps and health insurance. Let them eat McDonald’s.

AN Open Letter To President Donald J. Trump Dear Donald, May I call you Donald? You've made it quite clear that you would like to win a Nobel Peace Prize before you die... and let's face it, brother, you're not looking very good. It's becoming increasingly clear that you're not the one pulling the strings anymore on Pennsylvania Avenue. You seem to have outsourced that to the Hobgoblin and other psychopaths.

Jesse Waters looks like an incel Jiminy Cricket

"I saw one tonight, came up to me, a man, strong, tough cookie. I wouldn't want to fight him, OK? Tears in his eye, his name was Snake... Snake Pliskin, strong, tough, a REAL MAN... He said Mr. President, I will save New York..."

You just know that Stephen Miller has Escape From NY playing on a loop in the Whitehouse dining room.
He probably stuck a little "Fox News" or "OAN" logo in the corner...

I want Orange Cockwomble to make Eric Adams the ambassador to Turkey.

It's like an old school emperor who refuses to walk unless flowers are thrown in his path... What an asshole.
And Mel just glaring at him... Volumes.
Perfectly encapsulates the useless incompetence of the children of opulence.

I mean... The complete lack of comprehension of what was happening, the confusion, the dumbfounded look, the sense of entitlement when he realized he'd actually have to *walk a flight of stairs*... It was hilarious.

... And if the escalator tries to bring you down, go crazy... Rage and tweet till four!

Unmasking The Exile: Internal Family Systems & The Self 40+ years of surrendering in advance. 40+ years of self-deprecation as self-defense. 40+ years of believing what they tell me so that they'll like me. 40+ years of wearing a mask that never let me fully breathe.

The Training Ground I never felt like I belonged in that town. Leaving it is one of my personal triumphs. But it still lives in my head... The bullying, the classism, the snobbery, the racism... It all formed me, for better or for worse. It gave me a conviction. Make no mistake, there were and still are good people there. Maybe that's why I'll never write it off.

Fascists are symbol obsessed.
They require fetishes
Anything to remove the human element from the equation

Now I don't know if today is the rapture.
All's I know is this:
When Debbie Harry starts to rap,
I wish the Lord would take us all.
That sh!t's terrible.

Apropos of nothing...

Chapter Two What is a year? 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, a spiral journey around a star around a black hole around infinity?

Chapter Two

What is a year? 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, a spiral journey around a star around a black hole around infinity?

When I read “The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats, I feel in my chest the foreboding essence embedded in his words. Every time I read that terse poem, I wear it like a cloak against the zeitgeist winds. The gyre can widen, but as long as I am in the center, I can hold.

Words imposed top-down are just hammering sounds that drive us into the ground. Words wrapped around the murmurings of the heart are far more nourishing.

Brainwashing, perverting impressionable minds, indoctrination… it all looks so different. I can recite the Pledge of Allegiance in my sleep. I can hear the drone of the Nicene Creed in my head. It’s all just sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Teaching: Empowerment, Not Indoctrination If I start demanding you see the world my way, I'm no better than a fascist. It is important to me that I teach you how to follow paths of logic. It is important to me that you know how to make your own paths when the well-worn ones are outdated.

I suppose from H!tler's perspective, allied forces were simply radicalized youth coming to end his glorious civilization.
What a dick.

Donald Trump is a terrorist.
It's time we stop effing around and say it straight out. He's a terrorist. Pure and simple.

An Open Letter To The "Honorable" James David Vance

However, I remember on this very day 24 years ago.. a very unpopular president was gifted an opportunity to play at being a leader.

I'm not going to go so far as to say that any of it is orchestrated, but there is a certain political opportunism at play year.

I know. I know it's preposterous and it probably sounds like conspiracy theory and we all know that President cares sincerely and deeply about everybody under his watch.
