Is Nobody Going to Even Ask This Question?

 What in the entire earth leads people to think that, because Trump and his stooge at the head of the Post Office said they are going to stop rigging the mails to get him re-elected, he actually has a shred of intention to keep his promise?


This is a criminal deviant who has ignored multiple actual court orders on things as malignant as throwing children in concentration camps to hurt their parents- surely a sign of end-stage dictatorship if ever there was one.  This is someone who has told over 20,000 documented lies over his time in office.  How could anyone believe that he is going to do what he promises?


And how beaten down by some sort of political Stockholm Syndrome do people have to be to believe for a second that he will give up anything that he thinks will help him stay in office?


Maybe a minor issue, as a thousand die every day thanks entirely to his deliberate, self serving malfeasance, but a sign of how impossible it still is for the majority of even informed Americans to face what he is, and what his party has become.  Meanwhile, an absolutely staggering procession of criminal, treacherous, vicious, and yes, treasonous, acts as our President have managed to reduce his committed base by two percent.  Two percent!  The rest are just fine with his criminality and viciousness.


This is a sign of a country as lost to hope as the Weimar Republic was in its waning days, when right wing rich guys conspired behind the scenes to install the most horrible government in modern history.

I don't think anybody trusts DeJoy. Elizabeth Warren said something to the effect that we need to watch what he does, not what he says. That being said, though, he backed down in the face of threats of lawsuits from 20 states and, I believe, of an FBI investigation. The resistance to this scheme has teeth. And even Trump's toadies know there's a good chance he'll lose in spite of all shenanigans -- after which they might have to answer in court for their actions on his behalf. Trump is not exactly the kind of guy you go to the mat for if you know he may soon lose his ability to reward or punish you -- or save you.

He "backed down" in a public statement. They only have to hide what they are doing for another two months, and with Trump's record of frustrating investigation, that should be child's play.

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.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
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

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 that worked so we
