March for Trump!

I reported a few days ago on the predictable humiliation that the first round of pro-Trump demonstrations, called for by Trump himself, turned out to be.  Well, here's the rest.  I don't want to beat this thing into the ground, so I will just show a few random pictures:



The one in Nashville (second to last picture) seems to have gotten several hundred people, which is still pathetic, but the rest were gigantic failures as usual, including the one in Washington DC, which seems to  have attracted about 200, as opposed to the 500,000 that showed up for the Women's march a few weeks ago.  We'll just note this one down for history, and move on.

Those are just "fake numbers."

The differences in turnout between these and the Women's Marches are on the order of a thousand to one. Even allowing for the fact that Trump's support is heavily rural, that's astonishing. Numbers of votes measure quantity of support, but not enthusiasm. Clearly our side is a lot more energized, which bears out what we've been seeing in town halls and public reaction to Republicans' actions in Congress.

That's the best we can hope for, since the next election is 20 months away. Until then, public pressure is our only tool for stopping their crap from going through.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
