1932: Coup that failed
While the Fascist (GOP) Party is busy banging the drum about Critical Race Theory and banning books they find offensive: The Lorax, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Handmaid’s Tale, Beloved and The Color Purple; they’re mostly grateful the masses “forgot” this inconvenient truth. I … Continue reading
A solid piece on how America is heading toward Fascism
Jason Stanley’s piece in today’s Guardian will fall on deaf ears much like Bob Garfield’s two-part podcast about the American Right’s long game of 40 years to topple democracy. We know these two will be dismissed right away by George Will and … Continue reading
Sen. Mansion saying “no” wasn’t a shock
What’s really sad is how the Establishment Dems have called the Squad and Bernie supporters the naive ones. Meanwhile, the old farts who won’t have to live with the consequences have failed the human race once again. Thanks to their … Continue reading
So painfully true, Dec ’21 version
Then comes the “not all Christians…” yes, yes, just as not all Muslims are humorless types who lose their collective shit over any depiction of Muhammed, etc. However, Christianity, especially the Calvinist branch, needs to do something about the KKKristians … Continue reading
Burn in a lesser hell Bob Dole
As the cliché goes, assholes live forever, and it was somewhat true of this bitter old man. I’ve already heard all the crap in his defense about how he risked his life in WWII which permanently injured him. Too bad … Continue reading
The Right failing to do its homework as always, Dec ’21 edition
Given how much more functional Western and Central Europe are compared to Amerika’s dysfunctional ammosexual paradise and Jesusland, I think places such as Germany would send thank-you cards. They’re experiencing negative growth and they’d love to take in well-educated Americans … Continue reading
Tomorrow begins the “voluntary” winterization
While the GOP made sure they can dictate what women can do with their bodies, “urban dwellers” have a harder time voting and preventing children from learning the ugly truth about Amerika…they sure as hell didn’t do shit about the … Continue reading
As you can see, the Media fell for it again
In Austin, our local grocery store chain, HEB, is offering a free turkey if you buy a ham so as always, the GOP is full of shit as they let the world burn doing nothing until the off-year election cycle.
Cheesy, Christian poem modified for Kenosha decision
I’ve always hated the original poem too.
Injustice carries the day in WI, as expected
Sooooooo pissed while not really surprised at the outcome of the Rittenhouse murder trial. I don’t care if a bunch of Cheesedick Ammosexuals say the little pimple-faced Nazi was acquitted, he murdered two people. Sadly, good ol’ Rural/Red-state racism and … Continue reading
The University of Austin is as legit as Trump U or Prager Crap
You may have heard about this in the news. I imagine they chose Austin because Phoenix, Liberty, Trump and Con Game were already taken. Worse, they will probably make Alex Jones, Ron Paul and Joe Rogan faculty members. For all … Continue reading
Renaissance Faire/Fest was great
Brought back two bottles of mead which has been a mystery and a staple of D&D for decades. Allegedly, it’s the favorite booze amongst elves or dwarves or gnomes, take your pick. It isn’t something you can get easily at … Continue reading
We know that racism-sexism carried the day in Virginia
I’m not sure what’s worse. The GOP sweeping Virginia or the Punditocracy’s Hive Mind repeating the talking points (aka lies and horrible guesses) about how the voters are rejecting Grampa’ Brunch, the Progressive Caucus and how the GOP will take … Continue reading
Don’t forget to vote today, futile as it feels
Remember to get out there, this is a stealth-year cycle in which your local shitbird leaders expect very low turnout alongside the Christo-Fascists pushing their theocratic agendas. Read the endorsements. You don’t have to agree and vote as they say. … Continue reading
Before McRib returns, here’s Biden’s Nothing Burger
As you can see, it was downsized into a Manchin Unhappy Meal. Again, I have NO REGRETS voting for Sanders. Anyone who thinks you can negotiate with Amerika’s domestic terrorists while being undermined by their “moderate” sympathizers, is a fucking … Continue reading
