Thank you President Biden! The Corporate Media and Republicans are soooooo mad right now...

 Because Kamala Harris is going to win the Presidency.

Republicans were so overconfident, they openly talked about their vicious Nazi-inspired Project 2025, they paired a weird unlikable domestic violence fan with a child rapist as their choices for the Presidency.  And now...  now they are panicked!  Vance and Trump look like a pair of grotesque bloated sexist blobs, drenched in flop sweat, providing  Zero Energy, and with each successive boring speech exuding

Big Time Loser Stink

Big Time Loser Stink.

The Corporate Media was burnishing their Triumphant Trump Return of the King stories, while chuckling to themselves over their non-stop knifing of President Biden and then President Biden made history and the American people saw it and have embraced the next President of the United States Kamala Harris.  And the Corporate Media and Republicans went berserk and dropped any pretense.  Republicans are so mad right now they have rushed to put out as much racist sexist garbage and are engaged in a campaign of one-upmanship to see who can be the most vile and misogynistic.  

The Corporate Media thought for sure they would smoothly transition in from eliminating Joe Biden to having the Democratic Party in a contested convention were they could act like Mean Girls and spread gossip from one potential campaign to the other and watch them fight. 

And then Joe Biden endorsed the next President of the United States Kamala Harris and in a show of true unity, not the manufactured fraudulent unity of the Fascists at the RNC, Democratic groups, leaders, and delegates stepped up and backed Vice President Harris.  But, the demand amongst the pundit class for a Democrats in Disarray Summer still stands and they are going to do their worst to stop Harris' momentum and quicken flaccid Vance and Traitor Trump's low energy failing campaign.  But, don't expect the Corporate Media to run daily stories about Trump's addled brain, malapropisms, unhealthy lifestyle, and age, they are in the business of putting Republican in power.

As if often stated in Law Enforcement circles;  Complacency Kills...  Don't make the same mistake Republicans made a mere week ago but, understand together we can crush the Trump Vance Losers and save this country.  Together We can Win.  Let's Fucking Go!

Will Democrats fall for the banana in the tailpipe and replace Joe Biden? The New York Times sure hopes so!

 Of all the foibles the Democratic Party falls victim too none is as pernicious as believing what other people say is their best course of action.

Yet again, the New York Times is trying to stick a banana in
America's Presidential Tailpipe 

The Republican Party, Corporate Media, well-fed comfortably ensconced punditry, and Gaza deranged Bernie Brogressives all agree Genocide Joe Biden should go.  That would be the President who defeated Trump in 2020.

Rightwing scum sucking “reporters” smell blood in the water and are pouncing with false stories of In-flight medical crisis on Air Force 1 and anonymous White House officials confirming Joe Biden is going to resign immediately, and the odious claims by Peter Baker and the New York Fucking Times Joe Biden has Parkinson's (reminiscent of when rightwing liars proclaimed Hillary Clinton had one foot in the grave 8 years ago) all designed to suppress the vote, to muddy the waters, to fling enough shit and flood the zone so that Donald John Traitor Trump can steal back into the White House and do to America what he's done to women and little girls his entire life.  Rape Us.

Why exactly is the New York Times not covering the revelation that Donal Trump is a child fucking rapist?  Why exactly is the Corporate Media pushing the Joe Biden resign story over everything?  Because they want him gone.  Because they are all in on putting Trump back into the White House.  The courtiers at the New York Times and the propagandists at Faux News all believe they are in a class hierarchy above Joe Biden.  They see in Donald Trump a vulgar cosplay member of the phony aristocracy and enjoy his "showmanship".  It's exactly the same playbook as Clinton Cash and Clinton Emails the New York Times ceaselessly pushed in the final weeks running up to the 2016 elections.

And I (and others) can already see how the Media will be more than willing to undermine and destroy Kamala Harris (using the twin prongs of racism and misogyny against her).

Well, Fuck everyone who is clamoring for Joe Biden to drop out because you are willingly helping Republicans bring down this Nation.  That goes for you too Jon Stewart, who only was too fucking willing to slag on President Obama and too fucking eager to both sides everything, well fuck off to your comfortable chalet and easy living'

We, the People want Joe Biden to be President.  The pliant Media and their Rich Owners do not.

The Republicans are openly promising to round you up, place you into trucks and train cars, and process you in "the Staging Grounds" and you're busy slandering President Biden?

“We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly. We’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.” 

Kash Patel announces he and other Project 2025 Terrorists will murder journalists, even those who are debasing themselves to help Trump get back into the White House.  If you find yourself pushing the narrative that Joe Biden should step down, congratulations you're signing your own and millions of other human beings death warrants.

Vote for Joe Biden as though your life depends upon it because it does, for when the Republicans come to arrest you and process you at "the Staging Grounds" the NewYork fucking Times will be glad to report on it.

Joe Biden's Legacy, handing the mantle to Kamala Harris, and the Future of the Nation

 If anyone (in the upper levels of Government) knows heartbreak and the unfairness of life it's Joe Biden.  Much of his political career has been built upon the his personal tragedies and tribulations.

President Joe Biden can look back on 4 years of success and having saved the Nation in 2020.  From defeating Trump in the election, to battling Covid, withdrawing from Afghanistan, the Infrastructure bill, student debt reduction, the price of Insulin, the re-rise of Labor and Unions, a diverse Executive Branch, the re-establishment of NATO and allies across the World to present a combined front against the Rebirth of Authoritarianism.  But, no matter how great any one person is Time wins in the end.  Even all-time greats, usually hailed with the pointedly misapplied label of "Immortals" in sports eventually have to retire.  Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky...

Look Republicans lie about everything.  We can't stop them.  We can be livid that the Corporate Media doesn't hold them to account but, that's because the Corporate Media serves the same Plutocratic Masters the Republicans do.  The Rich and their Media mouthpieces want another Trump Presidency because of what he offers them.  It's an unfair system which elevates a piece of shit Traitor and lifelong criminal like Trump to prominence.  But, the rightwing attacks on Joe Biden about his age, just received a massive piece of corroborating evidence, during the debate.  We ignore the way Joe came off to everyday Americans at our and our Nation's peril.

Joe Biden was right to ignore Social Media trolls in 2020 and he's been right to hold the Corporate Media in contempt for how they cover politics as mouthpieces for Corporate Interests and the Rich.  But, the Corporate Media wants to claim a skin and will not stop writing the Doddering Old Joe Biden stories.  If we don't interrupt that narrative, if the Biden Team can't counteract it before the Convention, pants-shitting vile Traitor Trump won't have to do anything to coast to victory.

There's no point in looking back and saying, 'Oh Joe should have announced he was a one-term President' at some point.  It didn't happen.  We have to look forward as the Democratic Convention is set to arrive in Chicago in a few weeks.

Kamala Harris has to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2024.  For the Good of the Nation Joe Biden has to recognize, that no matter how utterly unfair the situation is, he must step aside and pass the torch to Kamala Harris.

And yes I know the Corporate Media will slag the fuck out of Harris, and on-line bigots (Left and Right) will smear her with just abhorrent racist and misogynist slanders.  But, Harris has to be able to deal with it.  Kamala has to pick a good candidate for Vice-President and We, the People have to elect them.

If we don't then rightwing State-Sanctioned Violence is coming.  Not immediately.  Stephen Miller spoke of the "Staging Grounds" as euphemism for modern day concentration camps.  But, Trump will have Joe and Hunter Biden arrested and imprisioned awaiting trial.  Warrants will be issued for Hillary Clinton, a bunch of false documents about President Obama will be circulated because the Rightwing Media will know these won't unduly alarm most Americans who will shrug and say well if they did crimes then arrest them.  FBI agents who dared testify against Trump and his criminal cabal will be forced to retire and those who dared to show open contempt for Trump will be arrested, and again Americans will shrug and say well we know there's corruption in law enforcement.  And the fascist temperature will ratchet up another notch as "Illegals" will be arrested en masse, and Vice Raids will be conducted for Gay Bars and Transpeople whom any good Faux News listener knows are grooming children.  Chaya Raichik will head the new Task Force to deprogram LGBTQ.  

I could go on but, what's important is staving off this potential Fascist Future which the Heritage Foundation calls the Second American Revolution, but it going to take the bold decision to move on past Joe Biden, a man who has served his country and suffered numerous personal tragedies and unfair setbacks.  It's time for Kamala Harris to step up and for the Democratic Party to unite.

The Staging Grounds IV: It's going to be a Bloodbath

“Andrew Jackson as president was treated the absolute worst and I heard Abraham Lincoln was second but he was in this thing called the Civil War, so you can understand that.  But I said there’s no I don’t care Andrew Jackson or anybody else. Nobody is treat… when you think of the fake things. Nobody has been treated like Trump in terms of badly.” Delusional Paranoid Dementia Donald

    During his glitchy incoherent rants, demented fascist Trump has taken to making the most ludicrous declarations of his Presidency.  Everything was the greatest of all time.  Everything was the best it ever was.  Everything was perfect.  He did the most for whatever group he's speaking too.  And everything immediately went to hell because you stole the Presidency from him.  It's the final culmination of rightwing propaganda.  It's the Ultimate expression of the Gish Gallop.  But, it's not like the Corporate Media cares to fact check, correct, or call Trump what he actually is because the Legacy Media take their cues and stories from the rightwing media and frame everything through the lens of Republican bullshit.

The Corporate Media coverage of Trump has been shamelessly inadequate for years now and it won't get better anytime soon.

I can not imagine the media BREAKING NEWS shit storm if Vice President Kamala Harris declined to endorse the President the way Mike Pence declined to endorse Trump.

It would be a monumental story of unimaginable magnitude!  Not only would signal the end of Joe Biden's career but it would be no less than a harbinger of the end of the Democratic Party.  It would be lead News Story until such time as a new candidate for President managed to emerge, whom the Corporate Media would waste no time in declaring dead on arrival as they publish 'Oh well wait till next year' news stories and circulate DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY, as the Media celebrates the coming Republican trifecta control of every single branch of the Federal Government. 

And yet... Trump and Pence is not even a two-day blurb.  

No one is coming to save us.  The media's job is to help Trump and that they will do it with every bit of chicanery, sagacious false concern, and amplification of Republican ratfucking necessary.

It was noted that in the week following the Hur Hatchet Report, the Washington Post and New York Times ran 70+ news stories on Joe Biden's Age, as every media outlet ran articles based on the one sentence Hur released.  So-called savvy pundits were plotting a brokered convention and a swapping out of candidates.

The pampered and petulant Uncommitted "protest" votes gains outsized attentional at every opportunity.

RFK Jr is still receiving coverage despite the fact his prime choice for running mate, Aaron Rodgers, is such a MAGA meatball he adheres to as many rightwing conspiracy theories as the number of times he's beaten the Chicago Bears. 

Trump is all in on the Fear & Anger stimulus response.  

"Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it," he added. "It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country."

So, after Trump invoked the words "bloodbath" 

the Corporate Media rushed to clean up Trump's fascist drivel as they always do.  And Trump's team rushed to make sure the story wasn't "the Bloodbath" but, instead was understood in the proper context, 

“Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto workers.”

It's the old Karl Rove playbook of attacking your opponent's strength as a weakness.  But, remember this tactic only works if the compliant Corporate Media uncritically plays along.

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal." - as always Trump wants to have it both ways and the media lets him get away with it, he's great friends with President Xi even though he's super hard on Xi and kept China in their place with the Art of the Deal.

Trump then claimed he'll protect Social Security and Medicare (a scant week after he admitted he'll cut "entitlements") and if he loses the election you're not going to get another one.  IMAX doesn't have a screen big enough to capture the Projection.

You could claim "Bloodbath" is just a new variation of the American Carnage speech Trump has given before but, at this point there is no reason anyone should give Traitor Trump the benefit of the doubt about the intentions of the Republicans should they get back into the White House in 2025.  Trump absolutely means violence.

When people say this election is the most important in our lifetimes, cynical pundits like to roll their eyes and dismiss peoples' concerns.  But, those people know they won't be at risk or will even benefit from the Vile Republican 2025 Agenda.  Ben S Shapiro, one day after proclaiming Americans should never be able to retire and should be worked to death, declared he crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump. 

Trump told his crowd that immigrants aren't people,

“I don’t know if you call them people,” he said at a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”

It's quite clear what Trump and his gaggle of bloodthirsty lieutenants want if he steals back into the White House.  Most likely, they would come for migrants and Trans persons first.  It's questionable whether the American people would allow that but, the thing with Fascist Pogroms is once they are started they gain a momentum all their own.  

It's up to you to vote, to encourage others, to canvas, call or help out in every way conceivable.  The Republican Party sees a singular opportunity coalescing in 2024; a chance to forcibly install a Fascist Fundamentalist Theocracy, eliminate millions, and gut American Democracy for generations.

No one is coming to save Us.  No 14th Amendment trick will make Trump not the Republican candidate.  No Judge wants to convict Trump prior to the Election.  The Corporate Media will not accurately contextual the threat facing Us.  It's up to us to save ourselves and our very lives because if this iteration of the Republican Party gets into Power they will be coming for them.

Additional:

As if to make my point about Corporate Media obsequious deference and nefarious allegiance to Trump Queen Bigot and pampered rich white lady Kathleen Parker has a story out about how someone should drop out of this race for the sake of the Nation;  KAMALA HARRIS!

The Israel Hamas "War" what a stupid thing and the Impossible double standard facing Democratic Presidents

Everyone has heard about the Faux News Grandpa Joseph Czuba, attacking a Palestinian mother and her 6 year old.  Apparently, according to his arrest report Czuba was a voracious consumer of rightwing propaganda and heard all about the "Muslim Day of Rage" relentlessly promoted by conservative liars. 

What a stupid thing...

All the rightwing liars who lied about 9/11, and the Global War on Terror, are back along with a new generation of rightwing liars and lying again...  In truth they never left.  I recall the conservative media pysop that a Thirty Thousand Strong Army of Hardened Antifa Soldiers were going to descend upon Gettysburg and attack "The Patriots" assembled there for the 4th of July re-enactment in 2020.  As if the Republicans who represent and venerate the Confederacy are the Heroes of Gettysburg.  The god awful Cook County Sheriff's Office disseminated a multi-department wide warning about the supposed Antifa operation and hundreds of Conservative Militias assembled to repulse the attack.

Of course, it goes back even further.  While the Ronnie Raygun administration was conducting their illegal arms trade to equip terrorists abroad (The Iran-Contra Affair) Ronnie and his brutal Secretary of State George P. Schultz fear-mongered that Sandanista's would invade Texas if we didn't support the rightwing death squads, ignore the result of elections, and quash the Marxists.

And, of course, conservatives continue to lie about who incited, who attended, and who was responsible for the Jan6th Coup Attempt (100% Republicans).

Now, I like President Biden.  I thought no matter what his Presidency shaped up to be, the mere fact he defeated Traitor Trump constituted a successful time in Office.  But, much to my surprise Joe Biden has been as progressive as any President in American history besides those who go by three initials.

That's why I can not imagine the fvcking ballistic fallout if a Democratic President denigrated Prime Minister Netanyahu and praised Hezbollah in the wake of the Hamas militant butchery the way Traitor Trump did.  I can not imagine the apocalyptic fury which would have descended on Biden; we're talking 24/7 Corporate Media coverage of the comments with demands the 25th Amendment to be invoked, hell the House Republicans might have been able to overcome their inherent dysfunction to elect a Speaker of the House for the sole purpose of calling for Immediate Impeachment.

Congresswoman Rashiba Tlaib has been widely denounced across the Nation for her correct analysis of the Israel/Palestine situation.  It highlights this incredible double-standard which afflicts the Corporate Media and the political climate in the United States (which of course impacts the response and coverage of the Russia invasion of Ukraine and the unconscionable Israeli retribution in Gaza).  Understand the warmongers are rapacious and never satisfied.  Certainly, the rightwing across the globe are irritated by Ukraine's defiance of Russia but, the War pornographers always salivate over the collateral damage inflicted in the Middle East.

So, is President Biden doing the right thing in the response to the violence in Palestine/Israel?  I don't know.  But, he has earned my trust with the policies he's enacted thus far.  He's earned my trust with the people he has surrounded himself in the Executive Cabinet.  He's earned my trust in handling the psychotic criminal Congress he's dealing with.  He's earned my trust with the way he's allowed Trump to flail and vent and incriminate himself further and further. 

Joe Biden ends the Drone program and the phony leftists (Glenn Greenwald et al) who screamed DroneZ were the worst war crime in recorded human history were silent then and continue to remain silent today.

Joe Biden pulled the US out of Afghanistan after 20 fucking years and not only did he not get any credit from anyone, the Corporate Media proclaimed this the worst military decision in United States history.  House Republicans were set upon hearings over this worst military failure to proclaim Afghanistan was all Joe Biden's fault but, they decided to punch each other in the dicks to shut down the Government instead.

Joe Biden works to cancel as much student debt as possible, which the Supremacist Court fights over and over to stop, and Biden catches flak from left for not doing it the right way and the right for doing it all.  Then he goes around the blocks erected by Sammy di Puzzi Alito and Clarence For Sale Thomas and still received little to no credit.

Joe Biden takes on Big Pharma price gouging of old people and nobody in the Corporate Media says anything because one of the last big advertisers on old people news are Pharmaceutical commercials.

The Supremacist Court guts the Clean Water Act protection for marshlands and waterways by claiming the Originalist reading of the Constitution Navigable Waters means Corporations are free to piss and dump whatever they want and the Corporate Media proclaims Biden's EPA cuts protection for waterways.

Meanwhile, Trump praises Hezbollah (confusing them with Hamas) because Trump is raging idiot while Biden declares support for Israel's 9/11 and collective shrug.  

Traitor Trump blubbers utter drivel these days, not that his sentence structure was ever coherent during his Presidency, but his babbling is chock full of farcical nonsense, grievances against President Barack Obama, praise for dictators, confusion over what Bush was President, attacks on witnesses and prosecutors and his usual collection of general gibberish.  It used to be Republican malapropisms were massaged by the Corporate Media who cleaned-up and sanitized the shit flowing from Republicans mouths.  It was thought as long as the Republican wasn't a diaper shitting madman he could be successfully carried along but, with Trump the Corporate Media couldn't make any of it make sense so the they decided they no longer cared and instead of trying to make Republican Clowns into Statesmen, they would enjoy the Circus.

It's an unfair system, the Media wants Trump back in office and they will continue to hold Joe Biden to an impossible standard while holding Trump and any Republican to no standards at all.

The Debt Ceiling "crisis" demonstrates Republican perfidy

President Biden got through the Terrorist Republican hostage debt ceiling attack and secured a very good government funding bill for the next two fiscal years.

Oh, was the Corporate Media thwarted again.  They were licking their chops at running their favorite story; Both Sides Do It... but the Democrats are Worse!, instead Joe Biden did it again!  He played a nice hand of Poker and didn't give the Corporate Media what they so desperately yearn for, statements from the Democratic President which they and their Republican co-conspirators can use to Deny Reality. 

Then, as the fragile vote in the Fascist controlled House and Sinema Manchin controlled Senate came up, Joe Biden took a pratfall to distract the Rightwing zombie internet. Classic and effective. 

If the Hostage situation of the Debt Ceiling Crisis had became a full-blown default while crashing the US Economy, then the Corporate Media would have run with what a shocking lack of leadership this was by the President.  If President Biden had played the too cute game of 14th Amendment saying we pay debts and ignored the Republican Terrorists then the Corporate Media would have run with President Biden has caused a Constitutional Crisis Certainly, the Republican House would have gotten some blame but, they would have been excused by "Journalists" because everyone knows The Republicans are crazy, have no interest in governing, and exist to throw tantrums on TV while flinging shit everywhere.

"Hell no. Not a chance,"  Republican Congressman Garret Graves tells reporters He that will not work shall not eat.  There is nothing meaner nor less charitable than a Republican christian.

The Big Open Secret, the unspoken reality plaguing American politics is Republicans are the Party of destruction and making government unworkable, untenable, and unresponsive to regular Americans.  This encapsulates their entire ideology; by simply making government functions accessible to only a certain class of people they ensure that conservatives immediately dismiss any Governmental action no matter how anodyne as "Socialism".

Look... "Politics" is an unfair game.  Democratic leaders, especially Presidents and Speakers, are expected to be the adults while Republicans get too say all manner of psychotic, vile, hateful, batshit crazy things which elicit not but a chuckle from the irresponsible American press corps.  This is nothing new; Michele Bachmann and Steve King were allowed to be bigoted, mean and hateful while President Obama had the extra burden of not being the scary black man.  Major Traitor Greene and Jim Jordan get too say all manner of evidence free lies and racist conspiracies and allege all manner of crimes against President Biden and his family. 

The Corporate Media is paid to pretend Republicans argue in good faith and Republican proposals are an honest reflection of limited government and that Republicans truly believe their plans are the right path for the Nation.

Fundamentally, a functioning US government is a detriment to the Republicans.  Or to be more precise Republicans want a government which works for Harlan Crow and drowns everyone else in a bathtub.

This is one of the main salients in the slow moving Coup Republicans launched 50 years ago.  This is what the Powell Memo laid out as Conservatives sought to remake the Democratic Republic into a Neo-Confederate Corporate controlled Wage Slave Nation-State.  Republicans want a Nation that pretends to be free, pretends to offer Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness but is, in fact, a Fascist One Party Apartheid Country.

Republicans hate you.  Republicans want you to suffer and, if necessary, die.  We, the people see this clearly with Republican gun policy.  We, the people see this clearly with the fanatical opposition to "Obamacare".  We, the people see this clearly with the tyrannical push to ban all care for anyone who identifies as Queer.  We, the people see this clearly with the Republican devotion to undermining safety regulations on trains for instance or with the removal and neutering of environmental protections.  We, the people see this clearly especially with the push to restrict women's reproductive rights and choices.

Uundermining the government being an "outsider" denigrating "career politicicans" has been a winning elecotral strategy for over 40 years now.  This is the natural evolution of Republicans rhetoric as it descends from Ronnie Raygun's infamous 9 words, I'm from the government and I'm here to help. 

Of course Republicans wanted the debt ceiling to crash the economy. Of fucking course Republicans will gladly grind Government to a halt. Of fucking course Republicans will undermine the United States.  Doing so plays into their rhetoric.  Blame Joe Biden.  Blame Joe Biden.  Blame Joe Biden.  Just listen... I'm sure you can hear cavewoman Major Traitor Greene's terrible southern accent a-blamin' and a-impeachin' Joe Biden over debt default.

Republicans were gleeful at the prospect of Americanfailure.  They are openly bragging about this, Rape-publican Matt Gaetz said:

“I think my conservative colleagues for the most part support Limit, Save, Grow, & they don’t feel like we should negotiate with our hostage.”

Oh, you say Trump and his family were engaged in a criminal conspiracy and robbed the Nation well Gym Jordan, Pudge Comer, Major Traitor Greene say its the Biden Crime Family! And Eli Crane proved the Chinese paid Joe Biden millions of dollars to allow Chinese spy balloons fly over the Homeland!

Flood the Zone with shit because eventually Normie society will get tired of the Rightwing outrage throw their hands up and say fine you run the government.

Sowing discord, undercutting faith in US institutions,  hamstringing the administrative bureaucracy, slashing meager government assistance all serve to Republican agenda, of returning the US to its idyllic roots; a genocidal slave state in which women, minorities, and others lived at the whims white male Christian patriarchs.

MAPA! MASA! MAWA! MAGAGA!

Lord Magaga

Want your bad romance

Donald Trump will be the GQP nominee in 2024.  Period.  As with Lady Gaga's song Bad Romance (The Fame Monster 2009), the Republican Party is wedded to Donald J. Traitor Trump til death do them part.  Not because Trump is a Svengali but, because he represents everything Republicans are and everything they want to be.

Ron DeSantis isn't going to challenge Trump because of many reasons.  DeSantis may want to run against Biden as a youthful winner and tempt rightwingers with visions of the DOJ and Executive branch of the Federal Government being weaponized against the Non-MAGA the same way DeSantis did in Florida but, unless Traitor Trump falls over dead DeSantis is going to wait to unleash rightwing fury in 2028, presumably against Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Faux News and Republicans are going to spend the next 6 years smearing as they try to build a recreate a combination of the rightwing anger at Barack and HRC for Kamala Harris.

In the meantime, Trump is going to try and recreate the atmosphere of 2015-2016, and I believe the rightwing media will quickly fall in line behind him and the Corporate Media will again force feed Trump's addled spirochete infected speeches on us while they provide massive amounts of free airtime to a thieving traitor who tried to overthrow the United States Government.

Mehmet Oz would be a terrible Senator. Here's why I'm voting for him. (Please don't. Instead vote for John Fetterman)

I've been filling out reminder post-cards for Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in an effort to pump up turnout for the upcoming US Senate races.  I'm absolutely convinced that elections in these hyper-partisan times are all about turnout and the Democratic Party can hopefully turn away from hunting for the semi-mythical undecided voter.

The Great Mass of Middle of the Road Swing Voters was a creation of the Corporate Media.  Of course, the Corporate Media has one task during election time and that is to aid Republicans in getting elected.

So, nothing shocks me about their navel-gazing antics and the bad faith pablum they spew.  Now, normally the go-to story for elections is #BothSidesDoIt allowing voters to say, oh both sides are immoral and bad therefore I'll vote for Republicans who are super-patriotic and great for the economy.  Of course, as I and others have laid out for years Republicans embody exactly none of the values they claim to espouse and are interested in gaining government power to create a Neo-Fascist American Slave Empire.

In addition, to the both sides do it bullshit, Corporate Media runs with; Democrats in Disarray (this has been a go to framing device for the attempted tear-down of President Biden's 1st two years), unending man-on-the-street pieces about What Conservatives think, and non-stop attempts to make GQP politicians into Statesmen with Today [insert name] Republican truly became a Great Man, (this is seen in the fawning praise for Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan) and any other number of Republicans the Media tries to elevate into serious political wonk status.

But, every so often a piece comes along which blatantly lays bare the unabashedly shameless role the Corporate Media has in elevating any and all unfit Republican slime merchants, as Gene Marks did in The Hill,

Marks goes on in the piece to point out OZ is unqualified, is vague or clueless on almost all topics, and would be terrible but, he'd be a Republican and that's what Marks wants.  Gene Marks wants it because workers have too much power in the economy right now and Marks wants Republicans to go back to the good days of crushing Unions, dismantling the social safety net, undermining labor protections, disempowering workers, and making Americans desperate enough to accept any and every job at a fraction of the earning potential.  Marks, of course, doesn't say it this way verbatim but, it's exactly what rightwingers always mean when they say this, 

The last month or so have been a blitz by Faux News and rightwingers on-line attempting to push Mehmet Oz into stealing distance of the Pennsylvania Senate election.  The shambling bloated corpse of Newt Gingrich was brought forth to run the moldy Reaganite Drugs and Blacks scare tactics by claiming Fetterman's tattoos were either an enticement to use Heroin or coded language used by the Crips.

And, of course, the despicable Oz and rightwing media have viciously gone after the health of John Fetterman claiming he's totally impaired from his stroke in May.  Just as the Corporate Media did in 2016 with HRC, they are going to uncritically push the Republican narrative of failing health for Fetterman.  NBC Dasha Bash eagerly catapulted the rightwing propaganda in her hit piece on Fetterman.

Fetterman's Campaign has brilliantly eviscerated out-of-touch, out-of-his-depth, elitist animal torturering Mehmet Oz at every turn and has laid bare how utterly depraved conservatives are because they don't care.  Conservative want the power of the House and Senate in 2022 because they already have the Sinister Six Supreme Injustices on the SCOTUS and with both they plan to steal the Presidency in 2024.

Republicans are Baby Murdering Rapists who love when children are shot to death

"About a third of our population is African American; African Americans have a higher incidence of maternal mortality. So, if you correct our population for race, we’re not as much of an outlier as it’d otherwise appear,” Senator Bill Cassidy told Politico.  "Correct our Population for race" means let a large amount of black women die from lack of prenatal care.

The GOP is a nihilistic death cult hell bent on turning the United States into a Fascist Theocracy.

One of the greatest tricks the GQP pulled was to get the Corporate Media to accept their framing of issues.  Now, this is a little cooked because the current Media is set up to push the agenda of Billionaires and the Rich, just like the Republican Party but, it's also been a great method of letting Republicans claim that their words are the equivalent of actions.  Republicans claim to be pro-life, heavily invested in patriotism, and with an eye towards liberty.  They say these things but, they don't follow through with actions because they don't have to, the words like prayers are enough to satisfy their followers.

Those Empty Thoughts & Worthless Prayers are also the only thing Republicans have to offer to the families of victims of the latest school shootings.  Republicans offer these things up because it is literally the least they can do but, Republicans know the Corporate Media will treat Thoughts & Prayers as equivalent of action.

Meanwhile, the Republicans are simply running out the clock on the latest mass shooting, knowing their bigoted hardcore followers don't care and the rest of the American people are too distracted in dealing with all the problems Republicans created to address gun violence that hasn't yet affected them.

And the Republicans can count on-line vile lying Rightwingers to spread all sorts of lies and misinformation as Alex Jones and others did with We Have to Talk About Sandy Hook, the way Major Traitor Greene stalked Parkland survivor David Hogg in DC and others claimed he wasn't present.  Already Republicans and conservatives are flooding social media with claims the murderer was Transgender (the latest boogeyman the right is using to undermine and destroy the United States).

The Left (in general) failed to respond because since the 1960s the Left saw conservatives cloak themselves in Flag and God so they ceded these things to the Right because of how repugnant conservatives made the concepts of patriotism and religion.  What the Left did not Not understand, unlike the Unionists in the 1860s did, is the American Flag, patriotism, and religion are things you take back from the Fascists.

And make no mistake that's what the Modern Republican Party is; Fascist.  Deeply.  Thoroughly.  And with a keen eye towards inflicting pain and violence on their True Enemies, Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives.

Elected Republicans wake up in the mid-morning after their coke-fueled deviant orgies and contemplate how they can harm Americans and the Nation.  From the most Hate Filled Republican Senator to the most vile TV newsman, Republicans spend every second of every day making things materially and morally worse for Americans because the Conservative Agenda is to Destroy the United States and replace it with their Neo-Confederate Fundamentalist State.

I could fill this entire post with bizarre, violent, hateful, vile, disingenuous, frightening, menacing social media posts, statements, State Laws, radio broadcasts, and Supreme Court ruling which demonstrate how far Fascist the GOP has descended but, to what point?  The Corporate Media is tasked by their owners and operators with helping to advance the Rightwing Agenda and with making it palatable to the large swath of Americans who can't be bothered or are too frazzled and barely hanging on to vote and organize against the Republican Fascist Death Cult.

And that is what Republicans count on.  By consistently making things materially worse for Americans Republicans know they can then blame their recalcitrant undermining of the Nation on the Democratic Party and be assured the Corporate Media will gleefully adopt rightwing taking points.

Note, the Media freakout over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ease which Republicans are all allowed to vote against any Governmental effort to address the baby formula shortage while Republicans still get to claim the mantle of Pro-Life.

It's the same way Republicans get to aid the NRA in flooding the Nation with easily obtainable firearms, while undermining Law&Order but, get to be labeled the Pro-Police Party and defenders of children; the very same children Republicans helped murder in the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.  All while blaming the Democratic Party for the damage the Republicans have wrought, as Baby Killer Ted Cruz did in the immediate aftermath.

After the GOP takes control of the House and Senate and enough Governorships through their decades long and time-worn methods of voter discouragement and disenfranchisement; they will have the Governmental edge to outright steal the 2024 Presidential Election and then like all good Fascist Disctatorships will allow the Form to continue even though all elections will be no different than the Saddam Hussein lead Ba'ath Party "democratic" elections.

After the GOP Fascist takeover, the Corporate Media will dutifully carry out their role of hyping the latest Rightwing propaganda and pretending the State of the Nation is the same as it ever was...

The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 21: Shooting the (Grand) Rapids, death by Cop

Big Toad Barr's Wild Ride

Lester Holt: Can we talk about the big lie?
Bill Barr: Which one is that?
LH: Well you write about the big lie being black live matter...
BB: Yeah [smirks]
LH: What did you mean by that?
BB: Well Black Lives Matter is based on the premise that the main threat to black welfare in the inner city are out of control police force that gratuitously kill African Americans and that's simply not borne out by the facts. - From an interview of the odious toad Bill Barr by Lester Holt, as the Corporate Media again helps to polish despicable conservative turds and allow a flagrant criminal to re-enter polite society while hawking his book about the Trump White House.

I suppose we had gone too long without an extrajudicial killing of a person of color.  Often Officers will tell me, as I express dismay at these incidents, 'Yeah well police kill far more white people than black.' And I'm not sure how to tell them that this is not a good argument other than to reply like Chidi in The Good Place,  

"Okay. But That's Worse. You, You Do Get How That's Worse, Right?"

And watch them brush off such sarcastic retorts. Why? Well, I don't know but, Police in the United States kill far too many people for any claims by such a noxious criminal asshole like Bill Barr to be taken seriously (of course he is taken seriously by the Corporate Media). In fact, violence and death at the hands of the Police is so pervasive Police and the Federal Government routinely undercount the true number. A study found that over 31,000 people died from Police encounters, but only 14,000 were classified as such;

More than half of all police killings since 1980 do not appear in official government data, according to an explosive new study in The Lancet, a top medical journal. The researchers reveal how “systemic misclassification” in the federal database that tracks the causes of death in America has produced, over four decades, an undercount of more than 17,000 deaths at the hands of police. The proportion of undercounted police killings of Black Americans is even more extreme, the research shows, rising to 60 percent.

So, an unidentified Officer in Grand Rapids, Michigan shot and killed Congolese refugee Patrick Lyoya around 8am on April 4th. Predictably, the incident arises from a traffic stop for improper registration and then escalated out of control ending with the unnamed Officer shooting Lyoya in the back of the head while on top of him.

Now, here's where the bad faith actors will get involved. First off, there's going to be the subjective fear for my life defense. It's impossible to disprove the Officer wasn't scared therefore his killing of Lyoya is justified. Secondly, there is going to be the weapons involved defense. Call it the Kyle Rittenhouse Defense; i.e. there's a gun involved therefore I am afraid the "Criminal" will take the gun from me and kill me with my own gun; ergo we are back to subjective fear for your life defense. Third, every white rightwing asshole including those who justify the January 6th violence against Police, will declare with finality Lyoya should just have complied. And lastly, the video evidence is going to be parsed and dissected frame-by-frame for the simple fact that individual still images from the videos can then be presented in a way to present a wholly different picture as opposed to what went down in real time.

Decades ago Police Departments began crafting these Use-of-Force continuums to create justification of violence against people as began to point out police violence is a problem. To justify the extrajudicial killing of Lyoya. It will be something like this:

1. Lyoya get out of the car (escalation).
2. Lyoya ignores "commands" to get back in the car (defiance).
3. Lyoya runs from the scene (presumption of guilt).
4. Lyoya grabs the taser and ignores commands to drop the taser (active "aggressor")
5. Lyoya continues to "fight" the Officer, they go to the ground, the force of Lyoya's fighting is such that it deactivates the Office's body-worn camera (fear for life)

And thus the Arbitrator will be able to reframe the encounter as Lyoya being the aggressor, who is responsible for the escalation of violence and the passive voice of Officer involved shooting will dominate the narrative until voila the official statement is Justified Shooting.

7-10 years ago I would have concluded the Officer would not have faced consequences but, with the increased high profile incidents and despite Bill Barr's mendacious bullshit, I think once the initial investigation is completed charges may be recommended for the still unnamed Officer.

Will the Corporate Media push the Rightwing Trucker Boogaloo

In a repeat of the Tea Party nonsense, I see the Corporate Media is back to amplifying and providing undue coverage to minuscule conservative propaganda campaigns.  Even the slenderest of rightwing tantrums is treated as though it's a spontaneous uprising of the Great Masses of Real America!  E.g. Mom's for Liberty! Enter the non-stop coverage of Truckers fighting Covid Tyranny! 

For years rightwing media has known if they constantly and consistently repeat their talking points, the Corporate Media world will be forced to (or willingly) cover the nonsense and often just regurgitates the framing crafted by right-wingers.  

For weeks, Rightwing media hyped the Canadian Convoy (funded primarily by American conservatives and comprised mainly of Canadian Fascists) as an expression of "freedom".  Conservative luminaries, like Candeath Owens and Dilbert Scott Adams, proposed seriously that Prime Minister Trudeau should be forcibly removed by U.S. Armed Forces and rightwingers across the Nation, from he lowliest Alex Jones troglodyte to Arch-Traitor Donald John Trump himself declared Trudeau was far more of a dictator than Vladimir Putin, 

"The tyranny we have witnessed in Canada in recent weeks should shock and dismay people all over the world," Trump said.

Such statements wholly divorced from reality and of sheer buffoonery only makes sense when you understand The Right lives in a completely sealed media bubble, breathing in and regurgitating the same noxious nonsense to each other over and over again, until it becomes concentrated bullshit.  But, it would be nice if outside the bubble the media would focus more on what these rightwing temper tantrums almost always turn out to be; i.e. huge opportunities for grifters to fleece MAGA morons.

Illinois Governor candidate Gary Rabine (Nazi Party) who's slated to get 5% of the vote in the coming primary attached himself to the Convoy in a feeble attempt to jump-start his flaccid campaign.  Even Illinois Republicans, who flirt with fascism, probably won't be excited about Gary's performative assholery. 

Nothing about conservatives should shock or surprise anymore.  The Republican Party is dead.  Conservative political thought long ago morphed into "Own the Libs" and abandoned their so-called principles, ethics, values, morals, and beliefs.  Conservatives live on hatred and a fanatical desire to punish those they hate; We, the American People.

But, the Corporate Media can not acknowledge this stark truth because to do so would be to cast doubt on their rhetoric since Ronnie Raygun.  And worse yet, it would illustrate how they have helped the fascist beast grow and thrive... 

And so when despicable Ron DeSantis was ignoring Covid spikes which have thus far killed upwards of 100,000 Florida residents, the Corporate Media couldn't get enough of his terse press conferences and his pugnacious attitude.  When rightwing media declared Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has won the Pandemic over and over, the Corporate Media world adopted their framing (as they always do).  

So, what's happening since the Media adopted him? DeSantis has pushed bills criminalizing children and their parents for their biology.  Florida is crafting and passing laws making it illegal to vote Republicans out of office and setting up a law enforcement agency to track down those who vote the wrong way, DeSantis brazenly berates children at his press conferences because their wearing masks irritates him. 

Like Youngkin and every other Republican Governor, DeSantis didn't run on a campaign of Nazi Assholery (unlike Gary Rabine in Illinois) because that doesn't win.  But once in office DeSantis dropped any pretense of equanimity and simply let his rank assholishness and deplorable vile temper rule the state while subverting good governance and enshrining fascism into law.

I fear come 2024 the Corporate Media will push DeSantis the way they always push GOP Assholes as he runs for President...

Republicans really hate Black Americans

"The fact that he is willing to make a promise at the outset that it must be a Black woman I've got to say that's offensive," - Ted Cruz, (R)acist of Texas, burped forth on his podcast

“The irony is the Supreme Court, at the very same time, is hearing cases about this sort of affirmative racial discrimination and while adding someone who is the beneficiary of this sort of quota. The majority of the court might be saying, writ large, it’s unconstitutional. We’ll see how that irony works out. I’ll guarantee you this, Paul. This new justice will probably not get a single Republican vote," Senator Racist Wicker reveals Republicans hate and will never support Black Women.

"Well the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans," To Republicans like Mitch Son of the Arch-Traitors McConnell, African Americans will never be Real Americans, hence the distinction. 

That's Three Sitting GOP Senators speaking in 2022! Black History Month seems to bring out Republican Racism.  Of course, I could post hundreds of public statements Republicans, in and out of office, have made belittling, denigrating, besmirching, and otherwise insulting black people going back years.  Here's an unexceptional comment from 2014,

"For almost three generations these people, in some cases, have been given handouts.  They have been ‘enabled’ so much that their paradigm in life is simply being given the stuff of life, however meager. No one has the guts to just let them wither and die. No one who wants votes is willing to call a spade a spade. As long as the Dems can get their votes the enabling will continue. The Republicans need their votes and dare not cut the fiscal tether. It is really a political Catch-22." Klansman John Johnston, Indiana Republican and disgrace to the United State Marine Corps.

Look don't expect any of this rabid racism and blatant bigotry to hurt Republicans.  The Corporate Media expects it from the GOP, therefore Republicans' racism is barely a footnote in the fight to besmirch Joe Biden's SCOTUS appointment.  I don't know how to combat a Media invested in equivocating Republican perfidy, in bothsides-ing everything, in uncritically accepting bad faith Republican claims that actually Joe Biden and an unnamed Black Woman are the Real Racists!  Meanwhile, conservatives have been yearning for this kind of raw racist red meat from the Republican Party and are not satisfied with Lee Atwater dog whistles or euphemisms anymore.

MAGAland was giddy with glee and unmitigated joy when conservatives thought only the Big City libs and minorities were dying from Covid in 2020.  When Jared "666" Kushner declared the Trump Government would not be helping THOSE PEOPLE in the early stages of the Pandemic, conservatives celebrated and laughed.

Republicans really, really, really hate black people.  But, they get away with it because the media does not want to acknowledge the truth about the Republican Party; it's a death cult of fascists and racists edging closer and closer to outright political violence and barely satiated by the political shenanigans and bureaucratic legerdemain Republicans in office pull off to keep the GOP in power.

If your Insurrection lasts 12 months or longer call your Senator or Representative

First, I recommend reading this excellent piece Insurrections, Ancient and Modern by Bret Devereaux at A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry on how the Ancient Greeks (the inventors of Democracy) would clearly have understood the January 6th Insurrection as a clear attempt to overthrow the United States Government.  It doesn't require an Epiphany to understand Trump's goals, tactics, and motivation.  It also doesn't take a prophet to recognize a large segment of the American people are fully wedded to the Big Lie and very much want to engage in political violence, including the rounding-up and systematic execution of the Non-MAGA.  

So, any case brought against Traitor Trump, and the organizers of the Jan6th Coup needs to be as perfect and air-tight as possible, otherwise Trump will just pantomime an orgasm on stage again to belittle the investigation.  And the 139 Congresspukes and 8 GOP Senators who voted to overthrow the 2020 Presidential Election and dismantle the Nation will do everything in their considerable power to undermine the prosecution of Trump & his Criminal Cabal.

But, the Very On-Line Community (VOLC) is exasperated with the Democratic Party approach and the Dept of Justice slow grinding of arrest and trial of January 6th criminals, I am, to the contrary, very pleased with the constant drip-drip-drip release of news, evidence, video and convictions of those thus far arrested.    

One of the things the Republicans grasped is how to control the News Cycle.  Besides flooding the media with constant streams of Rightwing bullshit, to obfuscate and provide grist for the #bothsides mill, Republicans know the crimes they committed on January 6th would only dominate the News for a short, short while.  Then the Media having dutifully spoken about the attempted overthrow of the United States Government in the most blasé, prosaic way possible would pretend some anodyne Biden literal dog bites man story is equivalent to the GOP destruction of the Nation.

If 6 months ago much of the gathered evidence had been released en masse the Corporate Media would have discussed it for a day or two three and then moved on to their hyperbolic Afghanistan nonsense.

So, here is a newly released video of 3 hours of Trump Traitors attacking the Capitol Police.  Here's how we know the Trump cabal stalled and planned to give conservatives and Rightwing embedded Kill Teams every opportunity to capture and execute Speaker Pelosi, AOC, and as many of the recalcitrant members of Congress as possible.  3 hours with no Quick Reaction Force response.  No K-9's or Horse mounted Officers.  Horses and Dogs control crowds effectively, exerting far more control per pound than any person can. 

So, it's up to Us, the People to constantly highlight, discuss, and agitate for Justice and to guard against the Next Attempted Trump Golpe de Estado because the Corporate Media is not going to do it and Faux News  and the rightwing media is going to justify, promote and support the next Coup.
