The Worst

 Think of the bad guys that have littered our nation's history:  Consider Al Capone.  There was a guy who was greedy enough to do illegal things to make money, and to rub out other criminals who stood in his way.  Pretty bad, but nobody ever accused him of raping multiple women, or stealing money from kids with cancer, or taking national security documents from our government.  Charlie Manson- a psychotic killer, but he specialized in one sort of atrocity, never really branching out into other types of criminality.  Benedict Arnold- betrayed our country, but at least he wasn't a rapist or a petty con man.  Jefferson Davis, John Gotti, the list goes on, but they were always sort of specialists, who didn't really cross over into other forms of criminal activity.


Can you think of anyone in our history who was a cheating builder, a thief that stole from sick children and veterans, a con man who ran a fake university and other phony schemes, a rapist accused of sexual assault by multiple women, a traitor who betrayed our country to a foreign dictator, a spy who stole national security documents, a gross tax cheat, a mass murderer who precipitated hundreds of thousands of Covid deaths in an attempt to win re-election, someone found guilty of open racism in his apartment rentals, a compulsive liar, a bully who threatens anyone who stands up to him, a destroyer of democratic government, all in one package?


Well, of course we can all think of one such person, but as far as I can tell, only one.  In all of our nation's history, he well may be the single worst person who ever lived, and I mean that literally, not as some sort of exaggeration.


And he is who the Republican party has enshrined as its leader and idol.  And it is all because what Republicans want for this country is so abominable that only the worst person alive will be willing to give it to them.  And this is virtually every Republican in the country, from grotesque subhumans like Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, down to the lowest MAGA hat wearer out there in Possum Hollow, screaming his rage in between doses of Oxy.  As Keith Olbermann would say, the...Worst...Person...In...The...World, and not just for this week, but in all of our history.  Their chosen master.  Is there anyone so blind that they cannot see it at this point?

American Rightwingers are in Face/Off territory here; they want to become him as he has given license to all the shit they have been barred from saying for decades; it's the counter-reaction to the Republicans 1970's reaction to the Civl Rights Era. Back then 50 years ago, Republicans learned euphemisms and dog-whistles could be substituted for blatant racism. But, this is now and the right wants raw bleeding bigotry and bloody red meat racism galore and Trump came along and fulfilled it.

Others have seen this and now the entire party is a full-fledged fascist front.

They want the leader that will destroy democracy to give them what they want. Trump is the only one they can find who is so utterly morally degraded that he will do that.

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.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
