In response to "Donald J. Trump, DEI"

Yeah... and he may be prez again. He gets away with everything. It's his greatest talent. That, and instilling fear... and lying.

I think... Harris/Walz (a.k.a Brat&brats) needs to be ahead by 5% or 8 million votes to squeak by. If they don't get ahead by more than 3% in Congress, they will get little support from there.

But Americans vote out of fear. There are many who fear the raising cost of food (it is), the price of gasoline (because...), and criminal immigrants stealing their last piece of pie (they aren't... and they aren't).

DJT is running scared though... The forecast for November is stormy.

In response to "The MAGA Anthem"

The RNC is now known as the TNC... the old replaced by the new.

Has Donald-the-Martyr been made a saint yet?

It's funny that the former GOP talks about unity... I was never included.

In response to "Assassination Tango"

Don't worry, be happy!

The homeless camps will be relocated away from decent folks and equipped with tight security. Out of sight, out of mind!

The LBGQT policy will be don't ask, don't tell, don't be. Everyone will display cultural unity or go to jail. Out of sight, out of mind!

Women will be confined to their homes unless accompanied by a male guardian. No more worries about career or politics. Out of sight, out of mind!

State media will show only positive images of the great Amerika. No more coverage of urban crime, civil unrest, or climate disaster. Out of sight, out of mind!

If you'll just stop being woke you won't even notice that you're living in Hell.

In response to "Assassination Tango"

Saint Donald the Martyr was crowned pope/king/heir-apparent to the papal-state/kingdom/empire of the CMTA, the successor to the failed USA. E Pluribus Unum will be replaced by We Are Saved (We... not you), the Constitution replaced by the Bible-according-to-some-Christians (but not others), women will be put in their rightful place, minorities will bow to the Almighty White Man (God/Jesus is White), science will be subservient to theology, abnormals (trans, queer, etc) will have no rights. The State will be Loyal to Saint Donald the Martyr. Any servant must be loyal. Anyone not speaking English will be suspect. Anyone without American born parents will be suspect. Deportation of suspected undesirables will be a.s.a.p. The new King will give commends and cannot be questioned nor removed without a violent uprising. The CMTA will be a fortress nation.

The God-appointed, Saint-anointed theocracy will not be known as Atwood's Gilead, rather the Christian Military Theocracy of Amerikkka.

...

In truth? It's toxic masculinity supported by toxic men and the women who want to be fucked by them.

IT'S A MAN'S WORLD

is the basic message.

Its absolute loyalty (gimu) resembles the old Empire of Japan in some disturbing ways as does the quid-pro-quo system of favors and money (giri) that kept the poor poor.

In response to "Lost on Route 66"

I saved it to come back to later but from what I see it's quite lovely and accurate!
Do keep on writing!(I'm proofing our Blogging Bliss newsletter!)

In response to "Lost on Route 66"

I agree with you about family activities dying in most households. We don't watch much television but we do play a board game while having our evening dinner meal. It encourages us to eat slower and to have interesting conversations.

In response to "The Ballad of Donny and Al"

Thank you. I haven't heard that song in ages.

It did get me thinking though. The Beatles trip to America (la reconquista?), George's interest in South Asia (and 'strange' instruments like the sitar), John's relationship with Oko... all very new and strange at the time. England was just opening up.

As for DJT. America loves being scammed.

In response to "Loathsome Loser"

Cute. Good title.

My thoughts:
You can drop 'the cost' at the end of line 5. (line's a tad long)
Yes, he-who-should-not-be-named really won't face himself and admit that he might, just might, be wrong. (line 8)
I don't think of the courts as belonging to Biden (no suggestion as to what word to replace it)...
...and I really don't think it's political as much as the wannabe martyr cries that the prosecution is persecuting him. Yes, he's a loathsome loser. Yes, he keeps on lyin'.

Bonus points for not mentioning his name.

In response to "Snow Day"

I have no such stories. I grew up in a factory town and we listened to the radio every time there was enough on the ground to hope...

But if I had to crawl to school I probably could have. It was a 5-7 minute run with my wet hair freezing along the way.

In response to "Unsocial Media"

They were sometimes cast in the role of 'blunt object' in a murder mystery (the only thing you can murder with a smartphone is a person's reputation).

At my age I'm becoming less protective of my privacy; but, recent world events have brought to light the need for more privacy, not less. Nations are becoming very protective of their image, and journalists or even common citizens with an opinion are the target of their wrath.

Video of Floyd's murder was appropriate imho; but, mere finger pointing to destroy another's reputation (or false accusations like Giuliani did) is NOT.

Natural Born?

Full disclosure: I would like to see failed insurrectionist Donald Trump disqualified from holding office in order to protect democracy and the rule of law. This ban should include any office, be it local, national or global. I would also like to see him barred from doing business in the US or abroad to protect his weak-minded and gullible base from his predatory fundraising. And I would like to see him excommunicated from any and all faith traditions as an amoral, sacrilegious, and unchristian infidel. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't even qualify as human.

Donald Trump's lack of character should be enough to disqualify him from the ballot, but there's no legal requirement to be a good person in order to run for office. So, the issue I want to explore today is the natural-born citizen clause in the US constitution. Hospital records show that on June 14th, 1946, Mrs. Mary Anne Trump delivered a baby and a turd. Unfortunately, the baby died. Mrs. Trump was inconsolable. So much so that she sent the turd off to military school, where it left a bad odor before moving on to university. No one knows how or even if, the turd obtained a business degree. All academic records have been sealed to contain the stench.

Amazingly, the turd grew and prospered, becoming a huge steaming pile. And it was always presented on a fine silver platter so that none would dare to call it crap. Now you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. And you can serve a turd on a silver platter, but it's still a turd. The real point, however, is that a turd is not a natural-born person. And a turd, no matter how it's presented, is not qualified to be on the ballot in a presidential election.
