Twitter, Till and Trump!


 Twitter changed hands last Friday when a crazy man spent 44 billion to play with it in his sandbox. Much to the delight of conservatives who also delight in hate speech and dropping racial slurs, anti Semitic screeds, vaccine disinformation and homophobic rants, Elon Musk grabbed twitter by the cords and along with his butcher Saudi bros and let them loose. The N bomb went up 500% in one fucking day, anti-semitism ran rampant and the vaccine deniers all get on there like twitter had become 4 chan. Lots of people I follow stated they were leaving twitter in some sort of self righteous brag that probably wont even come to be. I am not leaving even if the screw loose owner and his murderous Saudi buddies reinstate the account of one Donald Trump, who will definitely come back because he said he would not come back and the fuckin guy never tells the truth. I will still be there @traitortrumpy hammering away.

Speaking of hammers, when a crazed Qanon whacko busted into the Pelosi home in San Francisco looking to kill Nancy Pelosi (much like the sing songy tough guys on Jan 6) but she wasn't there so he took a hammer and hit her husband over the head before Police took him into custody. Now had Nancy been home her security would have ended this Q anon nuts life and the right would have gone crazy with the theories and the hate. But instead, because the right wing lame brains are incapable of empathy with anybody but Ashli Babbit, they have come up with jokes and memes and conspiracy theories and homophobic nonsense furthering their own closeted feelings. Kevin McCarthy and Elise Stefanik, two power mad psychopaths who would hammer ANYBODY who got in their way on the road to the Speakers chair, not a fuckin word. No sympathy no bullshit about thoughts and prayers, absolutely nothing because the image of Chris Christie shaking hands with the black anti Christ Barack Hussein Obama after a natural disaster still reminds them of the bases hate gene and its suicidal implications for them. Steve Scalise, a shooting victim himself from a madman Bernie Bro, nuthin. Scalise is one of the few people who faced death and became an even bigger asshole. Saved by a gay cop, Scalise has gone out of his way to take her rights away. This is todays GOP.

Musk, the oddball owner of twitter, even retweeted a joke news site implying that the hammerhead and Paul Pelosi were "gay lovers" at Hillary Clinton, then waited 7 hours before deleting it. Donald Trump Junior, probably in some sort of altered state, retweeted a "Halloween costume" featuring a pair of tighty whiteys and a hammer. Now Junior isnt exactly the most subtle Trump, that would be Barron, but even for a sniffy birdbrain like Junior, the closeted feelings aside, its not worthy of a prominent snorthead.

Twitter will be a cesspool (yeah I know it already was) for a while, then after Musk gets distracted by a squirrel it will go back to whatever normal is.

Trumps Brazilian bitch Bolsanaro lost his election to a "leftist" despite the military closing roads in Lula leaning areas (dont give Arizona or Florida any ideas) to prevent voting. Trump is on a roll of defeat lately. Lets hope it keeps up.

I went to see the movie Till over the weekend. I know a lot about Emmitt Till's story and if you also know you probably wont learn anything new. But this movie is important. Its well done, it doesn't pull any punches, it will infuriate you yet also you will learn a lot about where MAGA wants to take us back to. Segregated Mississippi, the dangers of being around dumb white rednecks, and the corrupt justice system of the South. Emmitt Tills mom was a trailblazer. She was an inspiration and she was brave in allowing her battered and shot 14 year old son's body to be shown. Its a great film (they do NOT show the murder so we arent subjected to violence against black children but to be warned you will see his destroyed body)

Fetterman And Other Stuff!


 There was a Pennsylvania Senate Debate two nights ago, did ya hear? The Democratic nominee, a guy named John Fetterman (he had a stroke ya know) and the Republican nominee, a Trump endorsed snake oil salesman "doctor" unleashed on us by Oprah, Mehmet Oz, battled it out on a stage and apparently nobody listened to a word that was said because Fetterman (he had a stroke ya know) failed to drool on himself but had trouble speaking (he had a stroke ya know). Despite the fact that Oz wants any woman to call her local weed commissioner or library board member to consult on having an abortion, all anybody in the pres could talk about was Fetterman (he had a stroke right).

NBC News said Democrats are on edge about Fetterman (had a stroke) CNN came up with a guy, an alleged Fetterman supporter who exclaimed "it was tough", The Guardian said it was "disastrous", Business Insider was "sympathetic", The NY Times "raised Democratic anxieties", Philadelphia Inquirer Democrats were "shaken" and Go Phillies, Axios "painful", Wall Street Journal "October Surprise"  , Pittsburgh Post Gazette "medical experts weigh in", cuz you know the Fetterman had a stroke. For fucks sake Greg Abbott cant walk, Herschel Walker has CTE, Tammy Duckworth is missing limbs, two sitting Congress critters have had strokes, Donald Trump has untreated syphilis (I kid I kid) and Kevin McCarthy and Ted Cruz have no spines yet nothing is beat into your head like this.

Republican "sympathy" was in full measure. Joe Scarborough, a true sock puppet, expresses his "concern", Stephen Miller, the rafter hanging bat faced Nazi, says he's "concerned", Megan McCain, whose father had a terminal brain tumor and served in the Senate, yacks about her "concern" and yes its pretend....How do I make fun of a guy without looking like a Trumpian troll doll? Express CONCERN when all you really want is to remind everyone Fetterman HAD A STROKE thus making him unfit and please elect a con artist named Oz who wants women to call the local school board person to ask if she can have an abortion. THATS the real story and the ONLY story that matters! Dr Oz thinks women should have to call the local community college board to ask if she can have Herschel Walkers baby aborted? 

Justice Sam Alito, a liar dog, spoke to the Heritage Foundation (what the fuck is a sitting SCOTUS judge talking to that band of right wing fascists?) and began crying about how threatened he felt after the leak  from one of Clarence Thomas' staffers or wife  an unknown source said that Roe was about to be overturned. We became "targets for assassination"  he whined . This could have given people rational reason to kill one of them to prevent that from happening. Off the fainting couch for a second Sammy. Even if one of them would have been gunned down, the decision still goes through. The mental case who was going to "kill" Kavs (another mental case) called 911 to turn himself in so stop running with that false narrative. Alito carried on with oh its just fine to criticize the Court, but if you state the court is "illegitimate" or lacks "integrity" that's a line you cannot cross in Sams mind. Yeah despite the fact a raging lunatic traitorous felon with the help of a madman turtle like power monger appointed 3 of these dipshits you cannot question their character! 

Alito was also all butthurt that Justice Elena Kagan used the word "legitimacy" and said the court appeared to be "an extension of politics". Oh my word, there's that crossed line again . Alito has lots of lines you can't cross or he gets all offended.  And apparently expanding the court, ya know to keep up with the times, would be the ONLY thing that would question the legitimacy of this court. 

Sorry Sam, though Kagan didnt come right out and say it, some of us will. Your court is an illegitimate band of  partisan hacks appointed by the worst and the 2nd worst Presidents of all time. And 2 of them are downright results of a bloodless coup. Not to mention WHY are you talking, you aren't even the Chief Justice, some jellyfish is.

Please Vote Blue!

2nd Amendment Enthusiast Strikes Again!




 Its two weeks away. Democracy vs fascism. Rural vs urban. What do you want? Just get out there and vote and if you're gonna vote red I hope you get stuck in traffic from all the blues heading for the polls.

Another school shooting in St Louis yesterday and nobody cares as usual.  The doors were locked, there were 7 security guards on duty, yet a gunman with a long gun entered the school and killed a teenager and a health teacher then proceeded to blast away and wound 7 more until his gun jammed, police arrived and shot him dead. All this took place in 14 freakin minutes. So locked doors, security guards and a quick response by cops, not them standing around afraid to take the guy on for an hour, and STILL 2 dead and 7 wounded. Alexandria Bell was 15 years old , a dance team member and and died just going to school to learn, and Jean Kucza was a 61 year old health groomer teacher, looking forward to retirement and loved her students. As usual the kids jumped out windows, hid in locked classrooms, hid wherever they could as the 19 year old gunman rampaged through the school. Alexandria was simply in the right place at the  wrong time and Mrs Kucza was putting herself in front of her students as most teachers who get murdered do as some NRA sponsored madman kills.

Give the police  credit. They were there in 4 minutes, entered the school and killed the fucker within 14 minutes of him shooting his first victim. . That's what should happen but as we know from Columbine and Uvalde they don't always do that,  sometimes preferring to wait for the killer to kill themselves or run out of ammo. 

So Ted Cruz, your locked door solution failed as everybody knew it would you racist piece of shit (I love New York) , the security guard solution failed as everyone knew it would. Look like this may be what Missouri needs to do the right thing in regards to school shootings because as we all know, IT'S THE GUNS. Yeah Missouri, do the right thing with that Republican run statehouse of yours, call teachers "groomers", and send parents DNA kits so they can identify your butchered child after some 2nd amendment enthusiast shoots them in the face. 

It IS two weeks away. When America stays America or becomes Amerikkka. Some of the local races nobody does any research on are school board races or state boards of education. Trust me you want to do at least a little digging in of your own to prevent local cranks, kooks and theocrats from taking control and diverting your tax money to religious indoctrination schools, thus destroying public education which of course IS the goal.

Let me introduce you to Colorado State School Board vice chairman Steve Durham, a Colorado Springs kook who pretends to hate Nazis, not because they were and are murderous scum, but per Steve Durham their real crime is they were "socialists" and goddamit he wants that taught in Colorado schools. Ya see, because Hitler was a leader in the "National Socialist Workers Party" that means they were "socialists" thus because all Democrats are "socialists" Democrats are Nazis. See how that works? Well of course NONE of that is true except to a weak minded drone. But Durham has succeeded in a lot of his warped views on Nazis removing "Nazi" from school curriculum and replacing it with "socialist" . 

This is the latest GOP "strategy". Take over school boards and push this bullshit forward . Nazis are socialists, immigrants are illegal voters, racism doesnt exist, America is inherently great, slavery and genocide must be studied but only from the perspective of white people.

You better check these people running for school boards. They wont come right out and say so, but the destruction of truth and public education are their goal.

By the way, the Hitler party was challenged by the German Social Democrats because they were NOT socialists and Hitler was installed by two German conservative parties because they thought they could put Adolf in the corner and never let him have any power. Then hilarity ensued. Thats  a FACT Herr Durham. 

Since when did facts become "grooming" ? The truth become a lie? 

The National Socialists are no more socialist than the fucking Republicans are republicans. 

Vote in two weeks and know what you are voting for or against.

Owning The Libs, Literally!


 Its 17 days until the country decides if democracy and protocol are preferable to fascism and chaos. But those gas prices! My eggs! My bread! My drugs! As if the Republicans have a plane....well for THAT anyway. They do not.

But they DO have plans for other shit. A recent article in the Federalist, thats a magazine for fascists who love kangaroo courts, hanging judges, unqualified judges, and owning the libs at all costs. Read the goddamned thing. Conservatives have failed (basically because libs still exist) thus conservatism must turn to authoritarianism and call themselves revolutionaries . Its simply time for right wing America to become the Amerikkka that leftists have hollered about for years. For their own good of course.

They argue that simply choosing to not be married or have children is a direct attack on "religious" people. That the refusal to procreate will leave even less "religious" people in the future thus destroying religion. Its an attack. The atheists are at the gate!

They argue that the left, the libs, are not to be negotiated with. The counter revolutionaries (ie conservatives) must "wield power" because give libs a meter   inch they take a kilometer  mile. Take Gay marriage for instance. You give em the right to marry and the next thing they do is "persecute" a cake maker. Trying to keep it together here.

The article continues :

The left will only stop when conservatives stop them, which means conservatives will have to discard outdated and irrelevant notions about “small government.” The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life — and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.

Translation:

Stay married, stay in the closet, have more white babies, stay the gender you were born with....or else the blunt instrument of the government will come down on you like it should have on the blacks and the browns and the Asians.

This is at the point the Federalist asks that once they win the "war", will they give up power? Well that remains to be seen. Thus Hell No. 

The article goes on to say that there is no other way to stop progress. This Federalist  plan must be implemented and if you think the GOP isn't onboard here you're nuts.

They are correct on one point. This is a "war". We cannot afford to lose it.

But those gas prices has become the new but her emails.

On November 8th, you have two choices. Fight or Surrender.

I'm fighting.

Stop Texting Me!!


 They text all day long. They even text you and use the wrong name. Most of them are all the same. Its an EMERGENCY, if you dont "chip in" $10 right now we are going to lose. Then it's another EMERGENCY again the next day and on and on.

I get Democrats texts 90% of the time. I get texts from Republicans ONCE. If its not Trump telling me he knows where I live, it's Kim Reynolds in Iowa saying she needs help to hold off the radical left. Hey lady, I AM the radical left. It usually stops after I answer with a pleasant fuck off or worse but then a new reptile Republican will step up. The other day it was some radical christian nationalist running for school board who wants to end public education. I love insulting christians with f words via text. I know the candidate probably doesnt see it but the staffer who I assume is also a Christian nationalist does and thats good enough for me.

Look the most egregious violators of texting me are Tim Ryan, Val Demings, Catherine Cortes Masto, and Ralph Warnock. I don't live anywhere near any of those states so I have no idea where my $10 would go. I haven't seen their ads but I assume because they are Democrats, and thus unwilling to get into the gutter and fight my $10 will go to waste. 

Here we see two kinds of ads. Don Bacon, a vulnerable do nothing Republican incumbent, and Mike Flood, a nerd of a Republican if there ever was one, put 4 ads on to every one of their Democratic opponents. The ads are all Nancy Pelosi, AOC, and Joe Biden want to let you die in the streets cuz they all defunded the cops, praised the "rioters", all voted to let violent criminals out of prison to kill you and your family. They want to take all your money and give it to illegals, they want to make you lose your mortgage and put you into the streets, they all want to tax you out of existence....blah blah blah.......I've taken to muting the TV as soon as an ad comes on. Should I chip in $10 to the local Democrats? Why? Their ads are all hey look I am a non partisan who loves the other side and will work with them to achieve solutions. Like what exactly? Help them impeach Biden? Help them impeach Garland and Harris and anybody else that can help them achieve fascism? Help them cut more taxes on the rich? I aint giving you $10 for that shit.

The Democrats better wake up. These water torture constant Republican ads are all the same. Nothing good about their candidate, its all what will happen if the radical liberal wins. And its fucking working. But the Democrats never learn. That Michelle Obama bullshit about how when they go low we go high was nonsense then and it's even worse advice now. Yet here we continue with the Democratic ads about how they are lying about me and can't we all get along? FUCK NO!

Where are the ads featuring the goddamned traitors that took shits in the Capitol not even 2 years ago/ Where are the ads with Mussolini and Hitler and Putin? Where are the ads about fucking abortion? Where are the ads about voter suppression? Where are the ads calling Don Bacon or Mike Flood a fucking fascist? Though they may not be is irrelevant. They WILL enable it as they did a criminal tax cheat traitor for 4 years. Its literally 19 days until the country votes and the way it looks Americans care more about a fucking egg costing more than it used to than democracy itself. We all know the Republicans will do NOTHING about any of this, but Americans have proven the attitude is ahhhhhhh they'll never really do that stuff like outlaw abortion or outlaw gay marriage or install fascism. The bottom line is they WILL and they HAVE and if they gain power this time they will NEVER give it up.

So look Democrats....until I see the ads about the Republicans being fascists and misogynists and bigots and fascists and homophobes and fascists and xenophobic assholes......you aint getting my $10.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly!


 
There's some things in life that are bad. You know they're bad, everybody knows they're bad, but you don't care. Then there's things in life that are good, even great, and you do really care. Then there's things in life that are ugly and they just won't stop.

Over the weekend the alleged end of the Halloween series opened in theaters and not being a streaming guy I had to go, in Imax. I knew it was gonna suck, I expected it to suck, and it didn't disappoint. Oh yeah it sucks. But it sucks on a whole new level.

Look I've loved the Halloween series since the first one back in 1977? It was a new take on horror movies. I mean nothing could beat the Exorcist or The Omen but Halloween was right there to me. It was real. There was no supernatural goings on just a psycho murderer terrorizing teens. Michael Myers made a name for himself in that movie. But so did Laurie Strode. Michael Myers vs Laurie Strode forever man. I'd be there everytime. And it thrilled me to see Jamie Lee Curtis in her 60's with the gray hair and the unworked on face. She was the bomb as a kid and still is. Michael Myers may be the greatest horror villain ever. But this movie......has a bit of Laurie Strode and even less of Michael Myers. Its not about either of them, its about an incel and Lauries granddaughter getting involved for gawd knows why. He's a wimpy mechanic who'd accidentally killed a child, she's a nurse who takes one look at him and pursues him like hes freakin Timothy Chalomet. Its unreal and just dumb. Finally Michael Myers appears, then disappears again and the wimpy incel starts whacking people as he has Michaels "eyes".....I dont know...eventually incel guy overpowers Michael (really?) and steal his mask, starts killing everyone and eventually gets to Laurie. But Michael is pissed his mask got stolen by such a wuss and goes to get it back and then hilarity ensues at the Strode house. Good lord, I get the money grab here, and I get Jamie Lee Curtis wanting to end this bullshit, but this movie is a deception. If you think you're getting the Halloween movie that ends the series well you are, but you have to sit through an hour and a half to get there. Stream it on Peacock and fast forward 90 minutes into it and then start watching.  Or better yet forget it.

The good? Aint Too Proud To Beg opened here last night and if you love Motown and the Temptations and even the Supremes run to this show. Its the musical story of the Temptations. Its not a concert, its a story with music, familial music and a story you probably don't know full of egos, tragedy, drug abuse, racism, alcoholism. And of course the music.

Told from the perspective of founding member Otis Williams, the narrator is Otis, who tells how the Temptations came to be in Detroit, sang for pennies, developed a style of song and dance, and hooked up with Berry Gordy where the hits began. Along the way we learn about the women, the booze, the racism, the fame, the egos and the songs. Peppered with Motown songs from the Temps and the Supremes who are their main rivals, it moves at a fast pace and tells a great story at the same time. The second act is much more tragic as people leave the group, come back, get into drugs and die of illnesses , accidents, drug abuse, and suicide . The story of Papa Was a Rolling Stone is my favorite and I wont ruin it but the whole success of the song was a surprise lets say.

The show is a must. The opening night crowd was few and far between but we made a damn lot of noise because you couldn't help but cheer these great performers. Support this show, you wont be sorry.

The ugly is the political ad from some shadow group called Citizens For Sanity. This is THE ugliest political ad I may have ever seen. Its basically a call out to the Great Replacement Theory. Joe Biden is letting people over the border who the Democrats want to "replace you" and "take what you've earned" and rape your daughters. I am not exaggerating. This is as blatant of a racist ad as you can get. Scenes of riots and marauding brown people and scary headlines of "illegal immigrants" killing and raping children "one of whom was 3 years old". 

But then with a little research you CAN find who is responsible for the ad and its not the aforementioned Citizens For Sanity but one Stephen Miller, the greasy little Goebbels character from the prior administration. The rat faced little hate filled 30 something who looks 50 something. Its all him. Citizens For Sanity is an environmental group based in Florida . This group is Stephen Miller, a Nazi white supremacist fucker based out of hell. 

This election season cant end fast enough.

Hows Your Short Term Memory!


 Its 3 weeks away. As it gets closer I'm beginning to dread what I think is coming. Its really this simple. Are you willing to throw away democracy AND any chance of restoring it because inflation is bad and gas prices are high? Not that the GOP will do anything about it because they will not but to put these monsters in power because your gas receipt says whoaaaa and your airplane ticket is more expensive as you fly to Cancun or whatever is insane.

But thats America folks. Instant gratification and if I dont get it screw you. The long game isn't existent any longer. People get upset at the old 401K going down and they're 45 fuckin years old. They somehow think its and interest paying bond instead of a retirement plan that goes up (no comment) or down (throw shit around like a zoo animal) but cant be touched till you're 65. Americans have no problem sitting in a theater watching a 3 hour plus Marvel movie but if their lives arent 100% happy at any time its somebody's fault and it aint them. 

The GOP thrives on this. It also thrives on the fact they think your short term memory is shot because of Tik Tok and snap chat. It may very well be.

The Republicans want you to forget Herschel Walker's domestic violence past, his abortion fees past, his lies, his deadbeat Dad past and of course his obvious CTE. 

The Republicans want you to forget JD Vance calling Trump "America's Hitler". They want you to forget his sucking up to Alex Jones calling him a credible source, and how Vance wants to make it difficult to divorce and impossible for women to control their own health decisions.

The Republicans want you to forget that Senator Mike Lee openly emailed Mark Meadows to let crazy people like Sidney Powell or John Eastman into the tent and let them attempt the overthrow of a duly elected government. 

The Republicans want you to forget Don Bacon and his ultimate goal not of banning abortion at 15 weeks, but of the adoption of a Personhood Amendment which would outlaw women's health choices the minute they became pregnant. They want you to forget that they care only to control women and again look at the above votes above, they don't give a shit about the baby or the mother.

The Republicans want you to forget that numerous of their candidates pushed the idiotic litter box story about children pissing in a litter box because they identify as a cat, this of course is nothing more than made up response to trans Americans who they loathe. Unfortunately there's a lot of GOPers who are dumb enough to buy the story.  They want you to forget that.

The Republicans count on you to forget it all. The votes listed above, they want you to forget it. And according to some polls you are. Forgetting their treachery and their complete devotion to their donor class is their goal. They don't give a fuck about you. They only pretend to. 

Thats what is up for grabs in 3 weeks. Instant gratification unfulfilled in the form of Fascism or a continuation of the constitutional republic for which it stands.

Its up to you.
