Sic Semper Tyrannis

Watching Trump’s weirdly fascist, self-indulgent, birthday parade masquerading as a two hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration for the US army fall flat on its face, was f*cking decadent. I’m no fan of Trump, I think he’s a bigoted idiot who is destroying the US in real time because of personal enrichment, but he didn’t get there on his own. I mean, there is a good amount of evidence that he f*cking cheated, which is weird to say considering that he’s been saying HE was cheated out of the 2020 election but I digress. Trump wants to be a dictator. We see it in the way he’s outright ignoring the courts, trying to sneak legislation in his absurd Big Beautiful Bill which would effectively circumvent that entire branch of government. Motherf*cker was recently asked about the “No King” counter protests to his ego-boosting birthday parade and he straight up said he doesn’t feel like a king, not when he has to fight to get legislation through. That’s the f*cking point! You’re not supposed to  feel like a king because you’re not a king! You’re a f*cking president, an elected official who is supposed to serve the people, not sabotage them. And that’s all he’s been doing his entire time in office. All of these ICE detainments are giving Gestapo black-baggings and the way he’s absolutely f*cked up our economy has been absurd. Mans is doing a bad job and he wants a military parade to celebrate his birthday? Really? A f*cking draft dodger who calls our veterans losers and suckers? Word? Well, you got your parade, asshole, and it was a whole ass wet fart. Hope you liked the Army mocking you to your face because that sh*t is exactly what transpired. You literally couldn’t even pay people to show up for your nonsense but guess who did show up? Millions of people, across the nation, in counter-protest to your bullsh*t.

Five million people were out in the streets, protesting this orange asshole and his entire regime. They marched, and shouted, and stood their ground; all peacefully and respectfully toward the many, many, “law enforcement officers” out to curb silence their voices. That did not happen. What did happen was a bunch of cops starting a bunch of sh*t, like they always do, in much smaller, isolated areas. Overall, the protest showed the world that we, the people, aren’t about this dictator bullsh*t wand want Orange Hitler out of office. No Kings, period. His “parade” was a bridge too far, even for his Right Wing sycophants. That’s why none of them showed up. Prior engagements and what not, you know? More like they wouldn’t be caught dead at a military march, for a sh*tty president who wants to be President for Life, sound tracked to actual Vietnam protest songs. They were playing in this man’s overlay tanned face the entire f*cking time and he had no clue. Because Donald Trump IS clueless. He’s clueless about business, about commerce, about international trade, about global relationships, about how to actually run a country. The only reason he ran a second time is because he lost to Biden that first time. He wanted a rematch to salve his bruised ego and if Sleepy Joe stuck to his work for one term, we could have gotten an actual, proper, campaign out of Harris. She just needed more time to really connect with those rural white folks who don’t do math good, time to really get them to understand how f*cking disastrous Trump was going to be for their bottom-line. Or not. We’ll see how this case in New York shakes out. Because there is STRONG evidence that he actually cheated, which doesn’t surprise me. Trump has been a cheater his entire life.

Graduation Day

Trump going after Harvard under such flimsy, easily disprovable accusations of antisemitism should alarm everyone. The way he's attacking an international institution of higher learning proves the Right doesn't want its people educated. Dude is trying his hardest to destroy the one college who refused to bend the knee. Colombia folded like a chair but not Harvard. They refuse to allow such a grievous attack go undefended and it's pissing this administration off. Of course, it's personal for Trump. Someone just hit him with a hard "No" and he feels some kind of way about it, but this is bigger than even that. In order for this grift they call the GOP to work, they count on you being poor and stupid. Why the f*ck do you think the first thing Drumpf went after in term two is the sciences? Colleges? Education?

Asshole killed STEM! He's trying to force straight up nationalist propaganda on your kids! No mention of the many, many, atrocities committed against indigenous or colored people. It's all rainbows and good times. Slavery is now a "cultural exchange". What about Black Wall Street? The Trail of Tears? None of that! Nothing that would make the US look bad or upset the little White kids or whatever. Hell, Kentucky is about to start teaching that the 2020 election was stolen, even though every lawsuit brought to litigate that claim was lost! Even though Fox News admitted there was no fraud when they lost that defamation case which forced Rupert to step down! Red States across the nation are planning to tell your kids the sh*t in the Bible is fact when, at best, it's a stylized version of an oral history, passed down for thousands of years. The f*ck are you trying to tell me that a game of theological telephone is just as valid as f*cking algebra? More than that, sh*t is the backbone of oppressive European colonialism. There was a Bible given to Slaves that was wildly edited, bastardized into a manual of submission through selective edits. It's called, uncreatively, the Slave Bible. Look that sh*t up. There's a copy of it in the Library of Congress. It's absurd. And your kids won't know that because f*cking EDUCATION IS UNDER ATTACK!!

The Right doesn't want you educated because then you start seeing patterns. The lies and half truths seem less and less plausible. The fear and hate doesn't monger the same when you can understand the reasoning why they want you so frothy. They want you ignorant because if you can't think critically, you just do as your told. You're easily manipulated and that's all the Right can do to stay in power because they sure as f*ck can't govern. Trump is going after Harvard, not because it's antisemitic or colluding with the CCP. He's going after them because Harvard represents everything the Right hates. Harvard is a beacon of science, reason, and learning, standing defiantly against this administrations violent anti-intellectualism. It's an international melting pot. It's a place where you can experience different cultures, learn new theory, and expand your own social horizons. It's the antithesis to everything the Far Right, Conservatives in part, and MAGA as a whole, believe.

There is nothing more terrifying to an autocrat than an educated plebeian. You can't placate a learned man with superficial pleasantries and empty promises. That's the sh*t Trump falls for. That's how I know he's a f*cking idiot. And if you think dude attacking education like this justified or okay because college feels elitist or intelligence is somehow offensive to you, then you're an idiot, too. Interestingly enough, i saw a little blurb a few days after all this nonsense started that claimed Harvard actually rejected Barron when he applied. No one has come out to say if this is trued, Barron or Harvard, but if it is, this entire tantrum trump is throwing is colored wildly different. Instead of being a some sort of punishment for not towing the line, it turns in to a blow to his ego and paints Trump as a petulant, immature, narcissist. Which he is. Which is why i kind of think this carries more than a little bit of water. I'm not surprised if Trump is going after Harvard under the guise of frivolous racist and bigoted charges because they said his son, and by extension he, himself, is not good enough for Harvard. Which makes some John Q. Public supporting this bullsh*t that much more absurd.

Rage Bait

I don’t hate Conservatives. I know it seems like that with all of the anti-Right content I post but, in reality, I’m open to discourse. I have no probably exchanging ideals and gaining perspective as long as it makes sense. If you can’t make me understand your position with legitimate sources, I’m amiable to concede a point or two. The problem is those sources don’t exist. I once had a Conservative friend of mine try to make a rather bigoted argument and sight the Epoch Times as his source. That’s a Far-Right propaganda rag, used to spread disinformation and hate, by a f*cking Chinese cult so volatile, they were expelled from the f*cking CCP. The dude I spoke with didn’t know any of that. He then pivoted and tried to substantiate his claims with a New York Post article. Which is owned by Rupert Murdoch. The guy who owns Fox News. They lost a whole ass, billion-dollar lawsuit with Smartmatic about lying on those voting machines. In the deposition, Murdoch, himself, straight up says he doesn’t work in news, he works in entertainment. Bro basically admitted that he has no intention of honestly presenting anything, ever, and should not be taken seriously as a news source so why would i? Why would you? But THEY do and it’s a source of frustration that I don’t. Their arguments are never sound or make sense to me, because they’re not constructed to be. They’re constructed to outrage, to manipulate and separate. The Right is all about the vitriol and culture wars and fear mongering. They’re not about truth or reality or facts. It’s all vibes and the very worst kinds, if we’re being honest. These people vote for caricatures and do the most complicated mental gymnastics to validate their self-destructive and toxic positions, or they’re just too stupid to know better. But that’s the proletariat, the people who vote for this sh*t. I can’t be all that mad about them because they don’t know better. But the ones who use them to parlay power for themselves? They absolutely DO know what they’re doing and it’s disheartening to know, that I know people, personally, that are so easily manipulated.

The argument with the gentlemen who used the Epoch Times was over border security. I think he cited the article about a bunch of Chinese spies coming over the border from Mexico or some sh*t. He was super concerned about how “open” our borders are, even though they really aren’t. Hell, there was bipartisan legislation on the table that needed a vote which would have been the biggest border security overhaul in decades. Mike Johnson, House Speaker, wouldn’t even bring it to the floor for a vote because, at the time, that’s all Trump had to run on. The fear of a Brown invasion from the South. Well, now I get to deal with a Nazi invasion from the East. A bunch of immigrants from South African just flooded into the US, classified as refugees, with an expedited path to citizenship. What are they f*cking fleeing from? Being persecuted as the colonizers they are? South Africa, and Africa as a whole, has seen a shift in how they approached European influence and it ain’t good in the eyes of the Whites. Africa is taking back their own and the Whites are spazzing out about it. South Africa, in particular, has been snatching back land from the Whites for years now, something that has nettled the f*ck out of our orange tinted, wannabe dictator. Even though the same thing has been happening in Israel toward the Palestinians for decades. At the same time, Trump is out here deporting US citizens to f*cking EL Salvador on the flimsiest of evidence they’re tied to a gang. Maybe. There is no evidence. The one dude is not in a gang. In fact, he was here in the country, legally, on an asylum bid to stay safe FROM said gang. He’d been here eleven years, married to a citizen, and had children with her. Yet, sent to oblivion with no inklings of coming home, even though the Supreme Court told the US guv’ment to facilitate his return. The hypocrisy, is killing me. On one side, you have a man who fled from certain death at the hands of violent gang, going through the process of becoming a resident and building a life here, only to be sent back to the hell he escaped. On the other, you have people flooding into my country with the blessing of this administration because the decades of their prosperity garnered by stealing from the indigenous people who have been there since antiquity, has come to an end and they’re being treated the same way they treated them during apartheid. How are these circumstances different? Both are refugees. Both are being persecuted, the latter fairly in my opinion. So why are they treated differently? I’ll tell you White.

That right there is my problem with all of this sh*t. When I was young, Conservatism was about looking backward and glazing the Fifties. They wanted that white, picket fence, husband and wife, two and a half kids, Leave It To Beaver bullsh*t. If you can’t tell, I vehemently disagree. When some MAGA assholes says to me “Make America Great Again” I genuinely wonder for who? America has never been historically great for me and people who look like me. It still isn’t all that great in the modern day. I mean, I’m not in chains, physically, but the system is designed to enslave me in other ways. The Police state does a fantastic job of that but, even before that became the last bastion of persecution, there was Jim Crow, Segregation, and redlining. They drowned our cities, plowed over them and turned them into (Central) parks. They crashed out on our Wall Street and damn near erased Rosewood. They villainized then assassinated Martin, Malcom, and Huey. When the f*ck has America been great for MY people? That slogan, and MAGA in generally, is a dog whistle for White supremacy, for White Christian Nationalists specifically. They want a White ethnostate and have been very vocal about that sh*t for years. Reagan started it and Trump is trying to finish it, all the while distorting what it means to be Conservative. What it means to have traditional values. I’ve never been a fan of Conservatism, looking back is dangerous to walking the path forward, but at least, back when I was young, it wasn’t straight up fascism.

I mean, this asshole tanked the economy for no reason with these bullsh*t tariffs, has been screaming about “buying American” and supporting Domestic but then turns around and accepts a four hundred-million-dollar bribe from Qatar, that happens to fly. The blatant corruption is wild. What “values” is this man presenting when he tells you to buy your kids less toys, and then turns around and does something like this? How can you consciously support a man who straight up lies to your face, constitently, and laughs about it? This is who your party chose to represent it on the world stage? This bigoted felon? Word? What am I supposed to do with that? How am I supposed to approach someone who voted for that? From my perspective, looking at this through the lens of on a forty-something Black dude, you’re either an idiot or a racist. There’s no in between at this point. It’s not like people in your circle were yelling at you to stop, to not put this guy back in office, and substantiating their claims with actual facts. Seriously, I got b*tches out here calling autistic black children the N-word, and being rewarded hundreds of thousands of dollars for it! And they’re doing it while claiming that’s just her free speech! Ma’am, that’s a hate crime perpetrated on a f*cking five-year-old. Sh*t like that makes it tough to give your perspective levity. Makes it damn near impossible to legitimately accept your opinion as an intellectual peer. It’s not that I hate Conservatives. It’s just that y’all make it so hard to like you.

Art of the Deal

I saw, before going to bed, that Trump reached a trade deal with China. I though the announcement was highly dubious, considering how visibly hurt our economy has become since this stupid trade war began. It had only been a few days since serious talks began and the way the CCP was posturing, there was no way they were about to cave. Why would they? Trump's tariffs are a f*cking disaster and have been doing more damage to us, than any of the other countries he's arbitraily decided were ripping us off. Because he doesn't understand math. Or geopolitical relations. Or global commerce. I mean, the ones we had with Canada and Mexico he's been screaming about his first hundred days were f*cking orchestrated by him the first time around! Those were HIS deals! But they've been ripping us off for a long time? Really? You got Britain to accept our beef, but only if it's free of all the nonsense we add in terms of hormones and injections and the like? You mean just like before? And you announce that sh*t like it's a victory? I cannot wait to hear what you gout out of China!

So it's just a ninety day pause. That's the deal, ninety day pause. And not even a full stop on the things. Trump said he'd drop them to eighty percent. That was his number. China got him to drop it to thirty. For. Ninety. Days. Played. China got everything they wanted because, even if for some reason this thirty percent tariff doesn't hold past three months, which is enough time for the general populace to forget it even happened, then the world knows Trump is full of sh*t. They already do, but after this? After caving to China and taking a "ninety day pause" like it's some sort of W? Bruh. For the record, that thirty percent is what it was when Trump set it back during his first run, and had the mini trade war with China over tomatoes or whatever the f*ck it was, before the pandemic derailed his entire agenda and everyone got distracted with that. So he gained nothing. Not a f*cking thing.

This was a terrible bluff to begin with. We don't have the infrastructure, resources, or workforce to actually return to industrial age levels of manufacturing prosperity. None of this sh*t is going to make things cheaper and, more importantly, create "new" jobs worth working. No one under fifty has any inkling or drive to slave away over a f*cking factory job, ever. That's why so many of us have degrees. Motherf*ckers watched our parents and grand parents do that sh*t and gave it a hard pass. Plus, they're trying to kill OSHA and dramatically slashing federal safety regulations across the board. I'm not working in a f*cking smelting factory and trusting that the State of Texas will cover me when i inevitably maim myself. Are you serious? This nonsense was never going to work for the majority of the country. You can get away with this nonsense in those Red States but in the Blues? Among those "Coastal Elites"? In the areas where the majority of the population lives and has a much higher level of education? Never.

Cash Out

Mississippi is trying to do away with their income tax and people seem to think this is a good idea. I do not. As someone who lives in California and f*cking carries this country with our “third largest economy in the entire goddamn world”, I would prefer Ol’ Miss to, you know, carry their own weight. You see, forty-two percent of Mississippi’s budget comes from Federal subsidies. That means Big Guv’ment dollars account for nearly half of that Mongolia State budget and guess where those funds come from? Me. California pays more in taxes than almost every other State in the union, which partially accounts for why everything is so expensive here. It actually accounts for why all Blue States have such high taxes. We are literally supporting the VAST majority of the Reds, something north of eighty percent, with our collective tax dollars. We all contribute more so they can give less. That’s literally social welfare. That makes Mississippi a f*cking welfare State and we all know how Conservatives feel about welfare, right? State Income tax accounts for about a third of their budget so just getting rid of it seems, you know, reckless as f*ck. Like, mother*cker how are you just going to decide to NOT take money from your constituents to facilitate their daily needs? What’s the alternative? How are you supposed to function, especially when you’re already getting the majority of your budget from another state?

Income tax pays for your social services. It's filling the pockets of State workers and Colleges. It funds public schools, hospitals, and shelters. It maintains roads and power lines and makes sure there are lunches for your kids to eat while attending those State funded public schools. The little tax money Mississippi was collecting wasn’t even enough to do that much. They ranked thirty-two out of fifty states, in terms of education. Which was an improvement from thirty-nine a handful of years ago! Their infrastructure is collapsing in on itself from neglect and their internet is spotty at best. Hospitals are few and far in between and good luck getting out of their DMV in any amount of a reasonable time because, you know, grossly understaffed. All of that could be rectified if you actually charge MORE in income tax dollars. If Mississippi actually paid their fair share, they wouldn’t be the literally poorest State in the union. I mean, they might be, depending on what they produce, someone has to be last, but at the same time, they may be able to properly support their own people better. Maybe don’t be a bastion for religious zeal and backwards thinking and you can get people to move there to help out in terms of contributions. A huge reason why Blue States carry so much is that’s where the majority of the US lives. We are a Coastal country, whether certain individuals want to accept that or not. The Midwest is a desert and the South is almost as sporadically dispersed, with the exception of Texas and Florida. The more people you have, stronger the workforce, the better the State can be. But no one wants to live in f*cking Mississippi because it’s a straight dumpster water of a State. Because of stupid sh*t like this.

The wild thing is, I don’t even care that much that my taxes are supporting some asshole in Mississippi. I think that should be a thing for all of the States. It just makes sense. Humans didn’t become the dominate species on the planet by bootstrapping our way to the top. No, we built societies, worked together and shared everything we shad. We pooled out resources and built communities. F*cking “apes together strong” type sh*t. Democratic Socialism is nothing but good for everyone. Literally puts more money back into your pocket, than you pay now in taxes. If we had robust social safety net like the Frugal Four in Europe, whose system is actually based on the framework FDR laid out in his New Deal but with improvements, there would be no need for an income tax at all. It’d be one Federal deduction, but with that, you’d get the schools up to standard across the nation. Colleges would be accessible to the populace, improving our collective intelligence by magnitudes. All that infrastructure would be taken care of across the nation, by highly trained individuals in brand new positions for that work. Healthcare would be free or cost pennies on the dollar so there’s be no privatized healthcare deductions from your check, which is probably a f*cking fifth of that b*tch with varying degrees of care quality. And that’s IF they even cover your particular illness or injury. Don’t let an HMO find out you have an existing condition because all they hear is “out of pocket”. Nut that’s kind of the point, though, right? Mississippi is exactly what the Right wants every State to be: Poor, stupid, and desperate, with a penchant for Christian zeal.

That combination is always toxic at best, and destructive at worst. Mississippi has this sh*t bad. These people refuse anything resembling intellectual because they are, factually, a State full of stupid people. A stupid person’s reaction in the face of intelligence is to feel threatened and get offended. That’s how the term “Coastal Elite” came about. It’s not that we think we’re better than you, it’s because we are. Factually. Our education systems are better. Our hospitals are functional. We earn more than you. In fact, we earn so much, we subsidize you. You live on our dime and there is no arguing that. It’s a fact. These people don’t like to accept that and hide behind “traditional and Christian values” as a means to deflect their ineptitude. It’s easier to blame the other than hold themselves accountable, because that’s what this is. The reason why we don’t have nice things, why we will never get the Socialized programs we should be paying for, is straight up because the Red States are often too dumb to understand their benefits or they’re full of enough old people who think socialism is the same thing as communism, to throw the Electoral College. Education is the keep to diffusing these kinds of situations. It’s how you make everything better. Free access to higher education would create a populace of properly critical thinkers who can see through the bullsh*t, which is exactly why Conservatives are so ardently against any of that.

They want you sick, dumb, and broke because those types of people are easily manipulated. Motherf*ckers put on a flannel, hold a bear as a prop, recite a Psalm or tow, and there’s a Right-wing vote. Seriously, the Right has not had a plan to govern for decades. It’s all vibes and the concepts of plans, but no concrete path forward. They just play up the culture wars, fear monger about the Browns, and lie about the economy like it’s the worst, only to make that sh*t happen, themselves. Every f*cking Republican since Reagan has left a deficit in the US budget once they leave. Trump f*cked it up so bad the first time, he retroactively increased the deficit of every president, ever. But THIS is the guy? Orange flavored Fascist who literally doesn’t understand Global trade and thinks Tariffs will fix everything, when a plan like this was tried in the f*cking Thirties, I think, and failed miserably? See, an understanding of history, if one were properly educated, would have alleviated this nonsense the second he said that stupid sh*t on the campaign trail. If Mississippi had the proper funding to school their children in reality, instead of whatever the f*ck kind of propaganda they’ve been spewing in the thirty-second rank education system, those people would understand that Trump is full of sh*t. You can’t be manipulated if you can critically think. But that’s never going to be a thing because Mississippi is content being a welfare state. Even though they hate Socialism. Because they’re too dumb to understand otherwise. Because they don’t have income tax to actually pay for that education.

Misconception

My mom thinks I'm a depressed, lazy, miserable person who doesn't have the ability to be truly happy because i stay in my room and play video games. Sh*t's hilarious to me because I'm none of those things, she just doesn't approve of or think what does make me happy, should. A perfect example. I love Transformers. It's one of the few things from my childhood that isn't tainted by the trauma and abuse i suffered back then. I collect them, now, as an adult. To me, they are nods to a time of fun, excitement, and pure joy; A happier time in my life. To her, they're toys and i, as a forty year old man, shouldn't be wasting my money on them. That's the dynamic at play here. If my mom doesn't see the value in it, she writes it off as childish or diminishes it's importance because she doesn't understand it. But, the thing is, she doesn't have to. She has nothing to do with that. It's for me. But i don't think my mom necessarily accepts "Me". I'm not depressed. I used to be, like, deeply. You kind of end up that way when your dad is pretty consistently beating on and humiliating you throughout your childhood, while your ma emotionally checks out for a decade of your life. But i worked through that early on in my teenage and early adult years. My chick and eye helped each other get through our respective funks. It took her telling me i was abused to really understand that i was, in fact, abused. I'm not lazy, i just cherish my time and would prefer to do things as efficiently as possible, so i can get back to the things i want to do. This is also a trauma response to being parentified at seven years old when my brothers were born. Ya boy used the same four dishes every day because it was my responsibility to clean the kitchen for the family as a child. I refuse to wash walls because, growing up, that was a punishment usually accompanied by my dad beating the sh*t out of me. I'm not a miserable person, i am just violently misanthropic because I've experienced firsthand what people can do to the one's their supposed to love and protect. Imagine how much pain a person can inflict on someone they don't even know? What i am is a product of an abusive childhood where i for sure developed PTSD and an empathy disorder just to make sense of the trauma i was forced to endure. And that's okay. Not for my mom. She sees my stoic, indifferent, emotionally detachment as a negative, not understanding i am this way because of her. She wasn't directly responsible for the abuse but her absence enabled it. She seems to think therapy will "fix" me but I'm not broken. I'm just not who she wants me to be and that makes her feel some kind of way, i guess? She mentioned to me once that it's nuts to her that not even a spec of who she is, rubbed off on me but, like, how could it? You weren't around. You checked out of my life at, like seven years old, and didn't attempt to check back in until i was damn near an adult. By then, it was too late. I became who i was supposed to be, without you. Without my dad. To paraphrase Guardians 2, "You may be my mother but you're not my mom." I don't really have one of those. I have a familial obligation who thinks they should be treated with matriarchal reverence. But she thinks "I'm a depressed, lazy, miserable person who doesn't have the ability to be truly happy because i stay in my room and play video games." How else am i supposed to approach someone who thinks that little of me?

Supreme Gentlemen

Passport Bro content f*cking kills me, man. The entire lifestyle just screams insecurity to me. Look, it's fine to be attracted to women from other countries. I, personally, find myself drawn to Latina women. The love of my life is half Mexican. I get it. That said, i wasn't looking to hitch up with a Colombian or a Brazilian because of their "traditional" values. My chick ain't traditional in any way. She doesn't want to be taken care of or be beholden to a man in any way. We have a partnership in our relationship, not a master/slave dynamic but these Bros seem to want just that. They hide their controlling, domineering, abusive behavior behind a veil of traditional values and gender rolls but it's just control. They want a f*ck sleeve who cooks them dinner and is seen but never heard. That sh*t is wild to me because it's not love. It's entitlement. It's disrespectful. It's toxic as f*ck.

It's almost never young, successful, dudes doing this sh*t either. it's always these Manosphere types who are straight up chauvinists, or older divorcees who don't want a wife but a trophy who can't take their money again. They openly lament Feminism and female independence like women being able to have their own bank accounts with a penis to cosign, or them being able to earn their own money, is the worst thing ever. All those examples they point to about Grandparents staying together until the end? Yeah, that was because women couldn't legally work or have a f*cking credit card without express permission from a husband or male relative. What's that sound like to you? Extremism. It sounds like the extremism on display in all those dirty, brown, sh*thole countries these Right Wing idiots always tout as the barbaric Muslim nations they are. The way these countries treat their women, was one of the reasons we went to war with "terrorism". You see how stupid that sounds? How stupid it all sounds? These passport Bros want the exact same thing as the Islamic bogeymen the Right presented, to get us into a twenty year war the ended in abject defeat.

Patriarchy and Suffrage got adult men out here running to other countries, countries that are poorer than our own, to basically buy them an indentured servant they can f*ck. That's all this Passport Bro bullsh*t is. They can't bring anything to the table in terms of a relationship, which is absurd because, in my experience, you can be broke as f*ck and still pull a solid woman. I did. My brothers do. All of my uncles did. Hell, two of them got burned by their first wives and they didn't hop a plane to the Philippines to entrap an impoverished young woman. Like, how sad of a man are you that the only thing you bring to a relationship is money? If all you can offer is "financial stability" but refuse to contribute anything else, you deserve to be alone. It's not that women her are uppity and unappreciative, it's that they have options. they don't have to settle. They can't be trapped, as much as this current administration is trying to bring that ridiculous climate back to the modern day. It really says something about your masculinity if you legitimately have to run to another country to try and bamboozle a woman into a relationship with you, rather than put in the work to be a genuinely appealing mate and partner.

Obstructive

I just read an article about how that judge in Wisconsin was arrested by the Feds over obstruction. I don’t think the charges are going to stick, but the act is the point. Trump is out here using the Feds as his personal police force. Specifically, to intimidate other people into conforming with these illegal deportations. Judge Hannah Dugan was shackled up and dragged out of her courtroom this morning because she supposedly directed Federal officers away from someone flagged as an illegal immigrant, but just an immigrant in the same USA Today article, by directing the suspect out a side door as ICE barged into her office. Dugan has been a Circuit Court Judge since 2016. She has been working in law for at least three decades. You want me to believe that the guy ICE was there to arrest is illegal, when they’ve already deported an innocent man who was here as ab asylum seeker, right back to the country where the gang who wanted to kill him has a strong presence? After he married a US citizen? After they had children? After a full-on decade he’s been in this country? Come the f*ck on.

Y’all actually think I’m going to believe what ICE says, what this administration decides to [present on that day, over a judge whose job it is to, you know, make judgments? Get the f*ck out of here. Trump is out here attacking colleges because they let their students speak out over the Israeli genocide campaign against Gazans. Apparently, according to her orange idiot, that’s antisemitic and you deserve to be defunded, persecuted, or in the case of one activist, literally black bagged. ICE picked this chick up and then lost her. No one knows where she is being held, if she’s even still in the country, or alive. Ma just got disappeared like a fart in the wind. ICE out here lying about people being gang members because of Virgin Mary tattoos and snatching innocent students off campus because of wrong think. That sh*t is very Gestapo and SS of them but, you know, “terrorism”. It’s ridiculous to see happen on US soil and a STRONG portion of this country really seems to be okay with this sh*t, not knowing that if they can do it with these people, it’s only a matter of time they do it to you, too.

What is it going to take to get this marmalade moron and his drunken, sexist, rapist, cohorts out of office? How much more of this fascist nonsense does he have to actively commit, before the idiotic holdouts see him for who he is, for what he’s trying to do? This ICE sh*t is just the beginning. RFK is out here making lists of Autistics using data stolen from their private medical files, because he seems to think they’re all potatoes, even though he’s the one with the actual brain worms. Before the Nazis did a Hebrew Holocaust, they did another one with the handicapped and it started with these kinds of lists. Motherf*cker gets on TV and says sh*t that is easily debunked. Eggs are the cheapest they’ve ever been. No, f*ck-o, they are not. They are the most expensive they’ve ever been. China is negotiating with us over these tariffs. The CCP said that was fake news. Dude is trying he hardest to give Ukraine away to Russia under the guise of a peace deal, only for Putin to turn around and shell said country, racking up the deadliest day of this invasion since it started. While all of this nonsense is going on, he’s out here trying to repeal ECOA, which guarantees women’s financial independence bu Executive Order. He’s already reinstated Jim Crow among the Feds with one of those f*cking things, all the while Pete Hesgeth is drunkenly leaking war strategy over f*cking Signal and Musk is shilling Teslas on the White House lawn. These are the people I’m, supposed to trust? Their word is supposed to be bond and not propaganda? Word?

The wildest thing about this entire arrest, other than it absolutely wreaks of fascist bullsh*ttery, is the fact that Trump has been ordered by a myriad of courts to pause these “deportations” and he’s just ignored them. The Supreme Court told this man to take a break and he was just like, “Nah”. Bro, that’s the highest court in the land. You’re supposed to listen to what the f*ck they say. It’s part of the Constitution. It’ the checks and balance in order to stop sh*t like this from happened, that the Founding Fathers put in place. For him to outright ignore a court order is nasty work. Treasonous, even. Like, this umber asshole is literally committing a treasonous act ignoring these constitutional decrees, and no one is doing anything about it. Either side. Left or Right. I mean, the youngsters are. The reps my age have been screaming at the top of our lings about this nonsense sine the first term, but the older Gen Xers a, Boomers, and the Silent generation before us? Yeah, crickets. I see a lot of tacit acknowledgments and toothless decries but no real effort to hold this retard and his cabal of cronies accountable. Dude is disappearing innocent people, lying to the American public, and tanking the economy with a game of tariff chicken we are losing our shirts on, and no one is doing anything to stop him. Motherf*cker is out her arresting judges now and still, not a word. From anyone. And you wonder how the Nazis were able to Nazi for so long.

From the River to the Sea

I’m no fan of the Zionist Israel. As a Black dude, I know nationalist imperialism when I see it. I exists a US citizen because of that sh*t. History proves the worst thing to ever happen to the world, is European Imperialism. White folks have been ruining the good times we Coloreds have had since f*cking antiquity. It’s one thing for the British museum to straight up steal sh*t from another European country in Greece, but to refuse to give it back because they claim Greece wouldn’t take care of it correctly, is next level bullsh*t. And Britain did that to another White nation. It’s no wonder they are so terrible to the darkies they’ve colonized. Why the f*ck are you talking about Greece in a rant about Israel, Ryan? Because Israel learned their cruelty from Britain. Their Zionist, Zealous, Nationalist brand of Manifest Destiny is tied directly to the British style of Imperialism because that’s the sh*t which granted them the land to even found a country. Britain “gifted” Israel to the Jews after WWII, I think. Could have been WWI. After the Ottoman Empire fell, the Euros divided up the land which once belonged to them and, voila, Israel’s third coming. Even though Brown people have been there for centuries. Millennia, if I’m not mistaken. They just took their sh*t because White Jesus and/or YHWH bequeathed it so, thousands of years ago. It’s f*cking nonsense. Israel is a nonsense country and I refuse to accept their occupation of a sovereign nation because of post-WW gentrification and I’m no anti-Semite for saying that.

Look, I get it. Everyone wants a place to call home. I understand that better than most. I’m Black in America. My roots start at some Alabama dock in the 1600s maybe. My last name is the name of the slave owner who literally bought my father’s ancestor. I have no idea where in Africa my family came from and I’m several generations removed from even being able to figure that out. Wanting a place to claim as your own is a thing I understand wholeheartedly. Most Black people descended from slaves can probably say the same. That said, you don’t have to tread on someone else to make a home for yourself. Free Black slaves integrated with Natives and built a life together with them. We founded our own towns in places the Whites wouldn’t touch. We built our own businesses and commerce and lived a life of prosperity, until White people burned it down. That’s my history. That’s most Black folks history. Seeing it happen in real time to Palestine is f*cking scathing. The barbarism on display in full view of the world is insane and we, as US citizens, are supposed to side with the aggressor because… Jesus? Oil? Strategic location for war over oil? Well, I’m not Christian, I don’t believe in organized religion, fossil fuels should be phased out as a primary power source, and I don’t believe in this country enough to fight a war over a resource I don’t believe in. More than anything, I kind of don’t want to see a bunch of Brown kids get carpet bombed while playing in their schoolyard during recess and yet…

That’s the issue I have with this entire unshakable allegiance with Israel the US seems to have. I’m not one of these assholes who hates Jews because of ridiculous stereotypes, even though they absolutely do run the music and film industries, but I’ll scream at the top of my lungs about how much I despise a Zionist. And that’s what this war is about, straight up Zionism. Israeli Supremacy. No different than White Supremacy here in the States and I think that’s why Trump is so bullish about “punishing” those who speak out against the Jews. Like, these assholes are committing war crimes, so much so that the ICJ charged Ben Netty with crimes against humanity. The only reason they didn’t stick is because the US pressured them to throw out the charges. The only countries to back the US’s resolution were Britain and Australia, both lily-White and debilitatingly Christian. The killer thing? This sh*t, this straight up violence, isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s historic, going all the way back to when the Israelis came out of the desert to siege then pillage Jericho. F*ck, man, these people survived a Holocaust and then immediately initiated one on the Palestinian people. The Jews endured atrocities, had a whole ass Kristallnacht, and then turned around and did the exact same thing to Gaza and the West Bank. It’s called al Naqba or Nakba after you translate it in to English. It means Catastrophe. That’s what it is when you displace an entire people in an aggressive ethnic cleansing. A f*cking catastrophe, just like a night of broken glass, not so long beforehand.

How do you support this level of atrocity with your full chest? How can you see the desolation of Palestine at the hands of what is effectively an occupying force, do nothing about it, and then attack those who vocalize their disgust with that inaction? It’s insane to me that Trump is attacking colleges and punishing though exercising their right to free speech, under the guise of cracking down on Antisemitism. F*cking how? If an asshole sh*ts in your yard, you should have every right to call him a filthy mongrel. If a child is acting up and the parents are turning a blind eye to its tantrum, you should be able to call that sh*tting parenting out without concern for reprisal. I mean, this orange asshole is using this bullsh*t to defund Harvard and deport post-grad residents and his thralls of ignorant imperialist who abhor academia, are eating this sh*t up. Well, f*ck Israel and the Zionist who run the joint. Where are you going to deport me? Back to Africa? Nah, bud, I am full blooded American, born right here in the god ol’ US of A. Not a naturalized citizen. Not a resident alien. A mildly neurodivergent Black due with a empathy disorder, with a fundamental understanding of what right and wrong is supposed to mean. Because the first two hundred years of my ancestry in this ridiculous sh*thole country, is a whole ass Nakba full of cotton, lynchings, and chains. But I’m supposed to support a new type of Massa persecuting another type of Brown person, because the Whites in my country say so? Because they see themselves in the Netanyahu regime? Under threat of persecution, defunding, and alienation? Get the f*ck outta here.

Somebody Save Me

Liberation day has come and gone and the US economy has already started to feel that stupid, self-destructive, idiotic, hit. Trump announced his ten percent tariff on all imports, and then other, very specific hikes for individual countries he doesn’t like or respect. Some going as high as thirty-five f*cking percent, on top of the initial ten percent! Places like the China are paying f*cking forty-four percent on their imports here! That’s f*cking egregious and unsustainable. Literally the only thing this is going to do is drive away our trade partners. It’s going to alienate us from the world at large and leave us to kowtow to other pariah nations. These tariffs were, of course, announced long after the closing bell on Wall Street because the markets absolutely fell off a cliff the following morning ans still haven't recovered. Wall Street has dumped something close to six trillion in value since Trump took office and it's not setting alarms off among his cultist. Sh*t is insane. I was listening to a guy I work with say he was down fifteen grand but was up, overall, fifty grand since Trump took office. Enjoy that high, sir, because it’s all free fall and destitution from here on out.

Trump committing to these tariffs is effectively guaranteeing a recession. Sh*t coming into these ports is going to cost more for businesses to stock their shelves. Wal-Mart said, early on, that we as consumers were definitely going to absorb that cost. That means prices across the board are about to spike. Which means people are going to spend less because they can’t afford to spend more due to stagnate wages. I mean, look, cats have been b*tching about eggs for months, and that’s just eggs. Everything is about to be like that. Since no one is buying anything, the economy is going to shrink and, to make up for that lost profit, business are going to make cuts. That means jobs. People are about to lose their jobs en masse, which further diminishes the economy because once two-income homes will become one-income households, who need to spend the bulk of their money on living day-to-day. Which means businesses will have to make more cuts, which means more jobs will be lost, which means more households will spend less, and the cycle continues until we go to war to get ourselves out of it. That’s the reality of our situation and it will have ripple effects throughout the world economy, unless the world at large takes steps to mitigate the cancer which is the worst case scenario for the US.

If the global markets are a fine tuned machine and one component blows a gasket, the easiest way to save the machine as a whole is to just replace that shoddy cog. Guess what? These tariffs make America that shoddy cog. You know who is going to be the replacement part? F*cking China. They’ve already sidled their way up to both Africa and India. Africa being the only place in the world to get cobalt, which is used in microchips, and India being the primary place we get our steel from. The European Union has already said the weirdly aggressive and regressive stance the US is taking on the world stage, is forcing them directly into China’s arms so there’s that, too. Now, not only have we diminished our standing in the world, we’ve emboldened China and enriched them even further, at the same time alienating our allies and leaving us stranded on an isle with other pariah nations. Congratulations, we’re the new Russia and it’s exactly what you stupid mother*ckers voted for. All because you were spooked by “inflation” or because you didn’t want to have a vagina telling you what to do or you’re just some sort of istaphobe.

Never mind the Nazi stuff from Elon, or the seizure of Social Security, or the human rights violations with these illegal deportations, or any of the other stupid f*cking moves made by this administration three months into its inception. No, just focusing on these tariffs, what the f*ck is the positive with this pivot into what is effectively isolationism? In the modern age? We don’t have the resources to produce sh*t here anymore. Why the f*ck do you think we import our steel anyway? Because we don’t have the iron ore to produce the sh*t ourselves. And even if we did, we don’t have the infrastructure for that sh*t. Yeah, all these factory jobs Trump is promising? Well, those factories have been decommissioned for decades. Actual decades. It’s going to take years to get them back up to operational status. And who’s going to actually work the f*cking things? I’m not. Most Millennials won’t. Why do you think the coal industry is dying? Everyone in my generation watched our parents and grandparents work those mines in West Virginia, said f*ck that, and bailed. We got educated, took tech jobs or became engineers. Work smarter, not harder. Smelting f*cking steel is hard as f*ck. What Zoomer you know is going to want to do that? How many of them have picked up the slack left in farming and construction from the immigrants that got bounced out of this country? No one under the age of forty-five wants a factory job. That sh*t doesn’t sound good to us. No one wants to work for Amazon, man. We do it because we have to, which, I think, is the point. Trump seems to be trying to bring back the age of Robber-barons and cats like Rockefeller. Corporate Towns where hand selected billionaire can rule as some sort of Lord who answers only to King Trump, who answers to his Russian Billionaire Overlords or whoever. We’re all about to hurt, for a long time after Trump is peeled from office, because of your stupid f*cking vote.

To the Moon

God, I hate that I have so many goddamn feelings about what’s going on in politics right now. More than my usual thoughts about the various democratic socialist/common sense sh*t we should be spending out exorbitant taxes on, instead of funneling cash into the furnace that is the Military Industrial Complex and Big Pharma. It’s f*cking staggering to me that I get to live through the fall of the US Reich because some Orange idiot with an ego the size of Texas and a brain the size of a goddamn peanut, appealed to a bunch of uninformed, misogynistic, bigoted, “voters”. But can I really be mad at Trump for just being Trump? He didn’t change a thing about who he is or how he approaches the presidency. He’s been spewing the same goddamn sh*t for a decade. It worked once, mostly because his opponent was a vagina, failed a second time because he was up against a penis, but succeeded for a third time because not only was there a vagina, but it was a Black one at that! Seriously, considering all of the FAFO going on in MAGA country, the fact that Harris was a Black woman can be the only reason so many people voted FOR Trump this go-round. Well, mostly. A lot of his base are uneducated, god fearing, hate filled, bigoted idiots who are easily manipulated. Just like their own Demagogue, minus the god fearing. Which is why Elon Musk was able to just weasel his way into government like he did. “Buy” dropping a quarter of a billion dollars on his campaign super late in the cycle.

Elon Musk is an idiot and an actual Nazi. A real-life White Supremacist. I don’t know if he was always like that, early on dude came across as very charming and affable, but a lot of people who worked with this dude behind the scenes have basically said as much. Lots of shay dealings, hostile takeovers, lying, and deceit. But he had the greater public bamboozled for years. Everyone thought he was just this weirdo, meme, billionaire, who would Tony Stark us to Mars because Autism. They gave him a cameo in Iron Man II, for chrissake. The Mouse House just can’t win lately, it seems… In reality, this fool makes gusts appearances at German Nazi Party rallies and espouses the virtuous tenets of f*cking Replacement theory! And the dude has, like, eleven kids so he definitely believes in that stupid, racist, sh*t. What I don’t know is the timeline. Obviously, Musk growing up in Apartheid South Africa, I’m inclined to believe there is at least a bit of Classism in there but outright bigotry? Xenophobia? Obviously, like all of these Manosphere “men”, Musk had a triggering incident where his daughter came out as trans, and that just sent this asshole into a spiral. Mans started seething about how the “woke mind virus” killed his son or some sh*t. Or maybe it was the Ketamine. Either way, Musk is a drug-addled bigot who has decided to go mask off and revel in his Billionaire hate. What he didn’t expect was the public reaction.

After Musk did his double Heil at Trump’s inauguration or whatever, Tesla stock fell off a cliff.  The once evergreen investment is now looking very much rancid brown, costing this goofball one hundred and twenty billion. With a B. This has sent him into a sheer panic because, apparently, Musk defines himself, and his masculinity, by being the “richest man on earth”? I guess? It’s whatever with that bullsh*t. What I do know is there is no way Tesla recovers from his nonsense at Doge, and just general racist f*ckery abroad, with him at the helm. Like, he’ll have to absolutely secure his fortune and power within these four (more like two because Midterms exist and Trump has done enough damage this early to warrant a massive Blue wave), because dude is about to be straight radioactive going forward into the future. I’m relatively certain that, after Trump is forced out of office, you’ll see all of this mans contracts evaporate, followed swiftly by his “stepping” down from the various companies he CEOs. He has to. No one forgets a Nazi and Musk is wearing that Swastika proud, along with a Kevlar vest and his son as a helmet. That’s an actual thing. Dude lets his son ride on his shoulders out in public and has an extreme fear of being assassinated by a sniper. Motherf*cker is using his grade school aged child as a human shield and is upset people are turning on Tesla.

Like, f*ck the stock, Tesla dealerships are getting torched. They burned on in Paris down to the ground! Cars and all. Nothing was saved. It’s almost as if the fire brigade over there just watched it all go up in smoke, purposely containing it to the cancer of Elon Musk. Someone just fire-bombed one here in the States. Apparently, a Vegas dealership got shot up and molotov’d earlier this week, and that’s just a single incident. There have been protests across the nation, so much so that Republican shills are trying to make speaking out publicly against Tesla, a crime. That is, you vandalize any of their sh*t, it’ll be considered domestic terrorism. That’s wild because the f*cking Klan isn’t considered a domestic terrorist organization! Like, a company being run by a literal Nazi, who is gutting the government of precious resources in an effort to pocket those “savings” into his own Billionaire pockets, which has a litany of labor and human right violations at their various factories all over the country, gets the highest level of “protection” from the regime he spent a quarter billion on installing. The fact that he has anything to do with DOGE is a violently blatant conflict of interest but whatever. Trump will send out the goons onto Fox News and beg his unsmart MAGA masses to buy as much Tesla stock as possible, like it’s going to recover any time soon. Or as long as Elon is the figurehead f*cking around with Hitlerisms out in public. And by goons I mean, of course, Howard Lutnik, the goddamn Secretary of Commerce. This asshole, for all of you who don’t know, is the Federal boss of Business. He’s the one who is supposed to make sure everyone plays by the rules and is out here shilling a dying stock for the Shadow President. Again, glaring conflict of f*cking interest but who cares, right? Who cares about the corruption or the fact that Musk’s personal bullsh*ttery is absolutely cratering Tesla? You. You should.

There is a very good chance Elon’s very vocal love for “German” culture as he put it during his video appearance at that Nazi rally that one time, is taxing your pockets, too. You see, investors love “safe” stocks. Now, no stock is safe, the entire market is one big casino basically, but there are those which are more stable than others. Tesla stock used to be one of these. That means investors of all sizes threw their money into it. Reichsfuhrer Musk’s entire net worth is based heavily upon those investments into Tesla. A lot of those investors are the same cats who facilitate Pensions, and 401Ks, and whole ass Retirement plans. That’s right, you may own a piece of Tesla as we speak, a piece you don’t even know about and depending on how heavily your future is invested, you might be on your way to destitution. That’s the sad part in all of this; a lot of innocent people are going to get hurt in the collateral. Like I stated above, the only way Tesla, or any of the business he runs at this point, can possibly recover from Musk’s heel turn is to jettison this man into oblivion before those stock prices are. That said, there is no way dude walks of gracefully into that dying light. He’ll fight for every inch, for as long as it takes, because dude is an asshole that way, all the while absolutely bankrupting people in a future where they can’t work for their own financial security. It’s f*cked up. But then I remember A LOT of these people wanted this nonsense. They saw this idiot doing jumping jacks behind Trump onstage and thought it’s a good idea to put that ketamine fueled, deformed dick having, walking Nazi Meme, in the White House for some reason. Enjoy your sh*t sundae. You ordered it!

Sh*t Show

Apparently, Nebraska is two fiscal quarters away from bankruptcy and my Coastal Elitist as is supposed to care. The internet is flooded with sob stories from farmers in the Cornsucker State but they overwhelmingly asked for, nay, demanded this. Nebraska was reliably Red in this last election, helping to usher in the absolutely dumpster fire Trump 2.0 has been, based on the promise he’d deport illegals. Turns out, almost seventy percent of the farmhands and field workers in Nebraska are undocumented! Obviously, these people just stopped showing up to work. No one is getting wrapped up in an ICE raid in the middle of their slave shift, are you kidding me? Not when they can work in relative safety in, say, California. The illest thing about all of this? During Trumps first term, he cause the shuttering of over one hundred, thousand, farms. Biden helped bring them back but f*ck the Dems, right? We’re going to double down on the man who sent us into a State-wide recession to own the Libs. Well, you get what you pay for, or rather, in this instance, what you vote for. Like, what was the logic behind this absurd sh*t? You voted against your best interest because you Whites were going to take over those jobs? What was the plan for the aftermath of the Migrant Deportation?

Blacks. These cartoonishly delusional White people in Nebraska thought, after deporting their massive Brown workforce whom they paid pennies on the dollar for unheard of precision in those fields, that Black people would flock to their farms for those jobs. There’s no f*cking way. I’d starve to death before I harvest a single goddamn crop and almost every Black person I know says the same thing. It’s not because I’m lazy or entitled or “don’t want to work hard”, it’s because I’m literally five generations removed from f*cking slave times. My Great-great-great Grandma was born a whole ass slave! My Great Grandpa was born in 1899, thirty years after Juneteenth! I knew this dude. He used to walk me to Kindergarten. There are pictures of us together. Bro, there’s no f*cking way I’d ever disrespect my family by working a f*cking Nebraska corn field for some White bigot at slave ages. Do you know how hard we work to not do sh*t like that? As a people, we doubled down on either crime, sports or education to absolutely stay out them fields. Motherf*ckers is out of their mind to think we yearn for the fields.

The internet has been flooded with “woe is me” ass tik toks and viral youtube FAFO videos from these assholes in Nebraska. Nah, bud, you did this to yourselves. You earned every bit of your downfall by being f*cking idiots. You let the Orange Hitler wannabe bamboozle you with fears of the “other”. You bought into that White Supremacy he sold, that the immigrants were stealing jobs and eating the pets, not you get to work your land. Like, it says a lot that all these farmers are crying about going bankrupt in half a year, but none of them are actually, you know, working their own goddamn land. Obviously, there’s a more insidious nature to all of this. If you’re a conspiracy theorist, you think this is a greater plot to specifically bankrupt Nebraska so the Billionaires can buy their land for pennies and then outright own America’s breadbasket. Between that, and this tariff dance that’s tanking the stocks so they can snatch them up the same way, Trump is trying to Oligarch everything here in the States. If you’re a conspiracy theorist, you think that. Or anyone with eyes and a brain. But, if you’re a farm owner from Nebraska, you’re just eating the sh*t you asked for. For a second time.

Fake and Gay

In my morning ritual of Youtube, breakfast and coffee, I spied a click bait headline which did its job beautifully. “Candace Owens doesn’t believe in Dinosaurs”. It took a while for my brain to process what my eyes read but, when it did, I sh*t myself in intellectual disgust. What the f*ck do you mean you don’t “believe” in Dinosaurs? Why? How? So, to understand the sheer foolishness of that statement, I clicked the video. And it got worse. Her justification? Dinosaurs are a decades long conspiracy, perpetrated by a global cabal of shadowy billionaire power players, in an effort to discredit and erase god. I sh*t myself listening to this. Like, I diarrhea’d my intelligence as this utter skulduggery entered my cerebellum. There is no way a smart person can listen to that statement, and take it to heart, right? Like, I don’t think Candace Owens is an idiot. Not even close. You have to be quite intelligent to grift that hard. But for her to open her mouth and say “I don’t believe in dinosaurs”? Staggering levels of disrespect. Like, objective disgust at her audience’s level of intelligence. But maybe not.

I’ve seen a Tik Tok where a chick basically said  the same thing, that dinosaurs can’t exist because bones deteriorate into nothing within two decades. This woman is an idiot. Or, at the very least, functionally ignorant. Fossils are not bones. They are mineral casts of bones. In order for them to be captures, an animal must fall and be covered by sediment almost immediately. That’s why fossils are almost always found in sedimentary rock. It’s why you almost never find fossils in sh*t like marble or granite. It’s why we have an ass load of trilobite and ammonite fossils. They died in the ocean or a bay, promptly fell to the sandy bottom, got covered up and stayed there for millions of years. Now, I have a bit more knowledge about this sh*t than this woman does, obviously, because I actually studied to be a Paleontologist until I was in College and realized they don’t make money like that. It became a hobby at that point because, to no one’s surprise, I still over Dinosaurs. That said, everything you just read debunking her f*cking preposterous belief, I googled in less than five minutes. Absolutely dismantled her thesis statement in literal minutes by just, you know, researching the information at hand. But she, and the rest of the assholes who believe stupid sh*t like this, refuse to do and that’s what kills me.

We live in an age of unprecedented age of information, all of which is accessible from that tiny little thing you call a phone. You keep the entirety of human knowledge in your goddamn pocket, and have the audacity to claim, publicly, that f*cking dinosaurs exist? Or that “like minded” individuals agree? For different, just as inane reasons? Never mind you can go see their f*cking skeletons or whatever, how the f*ck do you explain oil? A FOSSIL fuel?? Oil, gas, and coal are all compressed, organic, matter. A lot of it comes from flora, sure, but a fantastic portion of it comes from fauna. I’m talking ground sloths, mammoths, smilodons, and whatever megafauna we co-existed with way back when. Animals which ALSO fossilized because they existed so long ago. Hell, mammoths were around at the same goddamn time as Egypt! How do you explain we have both their fossils, fist hand accounts from proven human settlements, and actual bodies which were captured in permafrost? If that sh*t happened to the megafauna of the ice age and they were around way more recently than Dinosaurs, wouldn’t is stand to reason that the same natural process would affect them, too? Sh*t, the f*cking Coelacanth exists! We got fossils dating back to the age of dinosaurs and TWO separate, genetically distinct, colonies alive right now! Dozens to hundreds of actively living individuals are out here, erasing your God? Word?

Pants on Fire

It’s wild to me that there is an entire percentage of our country, that seems to be completely fine with people not being fact checked. Like, Trump broke a decades long tradition of presidential candidates sitting with Sixty Minutes in October, because he was worried that the news organization would fact check him in real time during the interview. I hear that and I understand that these cats are just going to lie through their teeth. They’ve been doing it since the DNC, since Kamala and Walz basically vibed their way into front running this race. Harris has overtaken Trump in every metric that matters, from defense to immigration, to the economy. Harris has even started doing more interviews, this Sixty Minutes one as part of that effort. She’s showing us who she is, answering questions on policy, dodging others about Israel and more controversial things, doing what a politician does and she’s doing it well. What has Trump been doing? Lying so much that he’s getting fact checked by friendly “news” media like Fox. Laura Ingraham literally called this man out, to his face, in an interview at his rally this past weekend. Imagine being called a liar at an event specifically designed for you to lie in front of a crowd, by someone who is in that mechanism which enables you to lie to the entire country. That’s how egregious this situation has become.

People keep saying that the fact checking is biased, that they’re only doing it to Trump and his crew but, I mean, the man got on television and said, with his full chest, that the immigrants were eating the cats and dogs. During a nationally televised presidential debate! Bro, what are you doing? This was already debunked. The Mayor of that city refuted that story the second it came out. Vance’s team looked into it and were told it was all fabrications. JD posted his little tweet anyway and whole ass racists ran with it. Turns out, the eaten cat was just hiding in the basement for a week or whatever. The lady who reported the “crime” has since apologized to her Haitian neighbors and admitted, once again on live TV, she made a mistake. Trump and his team responded by doubling down. Even though these Haitians are legal and are here under protected status, not only does he (and Vance) refer to them as illegal, he’s promise to deport them back to Haiti if re-elected! That’s bonkers to me! This migrants are here, legally, under the protection of the United States of America. Sending them back to Haiti is practically a death sentence. Most of there are political refugees fleeing a wildly destabilized country and he’s sending them back to their “sh*thole country” because they’re taking the blood of America. Sh*t is absolutely disgusting but, you know, don’t fact check me.

Even more egregious than that festering bigotry, is the fact that Trump and his campaign keep lying about the response to one of the most horrific hurricane seasons on record. Milton is about to eviscerate Florida and this last one, Helene, smashed the Carolinas and parts of Georgia. Those places hit are all very Red areas but the Federal response has been on point. Biden visited as soon as he could and Kamala has been on the ground helping with recovery. Trump is out-and-out lying about how well Biden’s administration has been during this crisis, probably because of how sh*t he was during COVID, and swears they’ve been withholding recovery funds from Right leaning areas. All lies, rebuffed by the Governors and Mayors of those areas which were hit. Trump tried to spin the seven hundred and change FEMA give out for immediate necessities, as the entirety of the relief on hand. You definitely get more than that. Biden has even called for Congress to come back from recess and vote to provide more aid, something the House Majority Leader, Mike Johnson, refuses to do until after the election. They don’t need to because it takes time to calculate the damage, according to Trumps House Puppet. Biden is doing what he can, with what he has, and he’s doing a great job, according to those directly affected by this catastrophe but if you listen Trump, Kamala and the entire Democratic mechanism in the White House, are incompetent fools who are stealing relief funds and giving it to illegal immigrants.

Personal grievance aside, as someone who can be objective when needed, I do not understand how people listen to what Trump says and think it’s reality. Sometimes, sure, there may be gray areas. I can’t think of any but devil’s advocate. Sometimes, you don’t want to think for yourself. Fine, I know people who have form no opinions for themselves and are just told what to think by the strongest male energy in the room. But when Trump says sh*t like immigrants are poisoning the blood of America, you have to pause for the cause. Immigration is the strength of America. We’re the melting pot, man. Our diversity is what makes us unique. Literally the US would be nothing  without immigrants. Unless you’re a Native, you’re an immigrant. As far as the country becoming an economic powerhouse, stolen Africans were forcefully immigrated to make that happen. The US is nothing without immigrants and that’s an inalienable fact. Not only is that statement about poison a lie, but it is, at best, xenophobic and at worst, racist, but for sure smacks of Hitler in the Forties, regardless. If you can here that, accept it as gospel, and still support a man who so very obviously NEEDS to be fact checked every second of his life, then you’re a lost cause. It’s not the fact checking you take umbrage with. It’s the questioning of your perceived strong man. A strong man who whines about being called out for lying. Like a child.

We Can't Be Friends

No one really talks about this but I'm gonna. Y'all know Epstein was caught doing the sh*t he was doing back on the Nineties right? Maybe the Aughts. The timeline is wildly fuddled with dude because he never really paid for any of the atrocities he committed, mostly because of the people he committed them with. I can't remember if he did time for it but the young woman in question was substantially underage. She testified that Epstein's rape was her first time ever having sex, so there's that. She recalls that the other guy, this was a tag-team scenario, was so upset that Epstein stole her virginity, they got into a physical tussle. After that altercation, this other man raped her, too. Brutally. Like, he beat and slapped her during, calling her all out her name for not being pure. After watching her get forcibly deflowered. Ma testified to this in court. Epstein was convicted. I think he did a handful of months or was put on probation or some sh*t.

That other man was Donald Trump.

I've known about this for years, long before he became president. Years before he was on The Apprentice. I've known about this incident even before I understood just how inept he was as a business man. The only things i've known about Trump longer than him being a rapist pedophile, is the fact he's an abhorrent racist. In order of realization, racist, rapist, full-on business idiot. I say all of that because there are people I know who still support dude. Knowing that he literally bankrupted a casino. Knowing that his wealth was generated by bankruptcy loopholes and tax dodging for decades. Knowing that he is a rapist pedophile because I just told you that not a paragraph ago. Never mind he is an adjudicated rapist, having lost a slander civil suit to one of his victims for defaming her about speaking aloud of her assault,twice. They will STILL support someone like that because "the economy". At that point, you have to be one of the most morally bankrupt and selfish motherf*ckers on the planet, right? It's okay to put a proven monster in the big chair, a fascist one at that, because your money was better when he was in charge? Word? We can't disagree on this and still be friends. I can't accept the fact you'd be fine endangering literally SO many people, just because your stonks were good way back when, especially when there is fresh data that says your stonks are better now than they ever were under Trump. There is legitimate, analyzable data, which states we are much better off now, than we were under Drumpf. If that's the case, then it's not about the economy, or the border, or whatever else. It's about you and your level of comfort being a sh*t person.

Somebody That I Use to Know

I know a guy who got Red-Pilled after his wife cheated on him. It was the second time he was cheated on by a spouse and dude just said f*ck it! Full MAGA afterward. It’s wild to see because I’ve known this due for, like a decade and change. He was never a cat who had any strong opinions one way or the other, and tended to kind of follow behind whichever cat in the room had the strongest male energy, but he was a good dude overall. Kind of a weenie, but not terrible in any way. And then he moved to Idaho, like a lot of other White folks, to get away from “California”. Not California, as in the State, but “California”, the Elitist, Liberal hellscape most ignorant Conservatives seem to have built my home up to in their own mind. It’s a crime to these people that we value intelligence, diversity, and equity. I do not, for the life of me, understand why so many of these Right Wing Cooks, have such a hate boner for California, but that’s something to ponder for a different day. I just read an article going into the Trump plan to take his entire campaign by leaning hard into the gender gap. He is basically courting all of these Manosphere types while, simultaneously, infantilizing women. It’s wild to see. How do you plan to win this election, by telling woman they won’t have to worry about abortion anymore because he’ll make sure you’re all happy? While taking credit for overturning Wade in the same goddamn breath? Who’s that for? The Red-Pilled guy I know.

See, this wasn’t a one-off thing for him. Moving to Idaho set in motions the slow, racist, devolution of someone I once proudly called friend. Now, it’s “I know a guy.” He sends me articles from the New York Post, never Fox News because he knows I don’t even consider that sh*t worthy of rebuttal, but didn’t understand that THAT Post is just the print version of Fox News. We once had an argument over something he read in the Epoch Times. I’ve seen that rag before. It’s the most Ultra Conservative garbage you’ll ever see, but stupid people think that, because it’s printed on newspaper stock and they see their favorite Senator carrying it into the Chambers with them, that it’s legit. The Epoch Times is not legit. It literal Chinese Propaganda. It’s published by the same cult that puts on those Shen Wu shows or whatever. They are so radical and violent, China kicked them out. I think they own a compound up upper New Jersey and basically bought off every local politician a la Scientology so they can do their weird, abusive, Chinese cult sh*t in peace. But this guy I know thought that was news, that the sh*t printed in that trash was something to actually believe. Like, mans is against Kamala Harris because she hasn’t done anything as Vice President. What the f*ck has ANY Vice President done? He then hit me with the whole Black or Indian nonsense. That was the first time anyone said that sh*t to me and, having been absolutely infatuated with a Blaxican for the better part of two decades, it was plain to me that Harris is both? Like, it was a question for because of how goddamn obvious it was. Not for this guy I know. For him, it was a point of contention, a proper issue. Neither one of us keyed in on the fact that though is she/ain’t she rhetoric is just good old fashion racism. I did, a day or so later, and asked him about it. He never answered. Which leads me to the fact that the guy I know is just plain bigoted now.

Ever since his wife stepped out on him, the guy I know has just been outright malicious. Like, he was always kind of weird about race, most White people are, but he was still pretty cognoscente of how to maneuver within minority spaces. His best friend and first love was a person of color, so he had an understanding of his privilege. Mans moves to Idaho, gets surrounded by ninety-six percent White people with an errant Mexican on occasion and Black folks as rare as f*cking naturally occurring platinum, he he’s about that “Shut up and Dribble” life. Like, WAY back during the whole Black Lives Matter movement, he was one of these assholes that tried to make the disingenuous argument that AL Live Matter. Of course they do, dick, but your White lives aren’t getting gunned down while jogging and choked out but cops in front of the bodega, are they? Nope, my BLACK lives are, and they have been since we were f*cking forced here! The protests are ruining the game of basketball, a league predominately Black and raised in environments identical to those of where George Floyd was killed. Hell, a former NBA player KNOWS Floyd! Stephen Jackson grew up with the guy! But excuse the hell out of us for protesting during your racially muted escapism. Value the Black body but not the Black life. Shut up and dribble, is it? That guy I know dismissed every argument, every point that we, as a culture were making during that summer, because there were riots. Bro, what the f*ck else were we to do? I asked him that, point blank. We’ve been peaceful. We’ve passed legislature. We did the sit-ins and arm-in-arm blockades. What did you respond with? Dogs, hoses, and guns. We pleaded and you beat us. But we aren’t entitled to a tantrum or two every, what? Fifty years? Really?

How do you go from having Black friends to f*cking fighting Critical Race Theory in schools? How can you have a wife, sister, cousin, best friend who has experienced the cruelty of male entitlement, and support Wade being overturned? I have an IQ of one hundred, fifty-four. Less than two percent of the population has an IQ score higher than one hundred and thirty. I’m usually the smartest in the room, wherever I go. I can learn anything, do any job, as long as I have a month or less to process the procedure. My Black ass is brilliant but, according to the guy I know, any job I get is because of DEI. Like, I WORKED with this dude. He knows me. He knows how intelligent I am but, because of the Red-Pill, I’m here to fill a guv’ment quota. How do you just allow yourself to be manipulated by the worst people you know (Republican Politicians and f*cking Andrew Tate types), into dismissing your own firsthand, personal, experiences? How do you let Trump convince you that the Haitians are illegal and eating cats, when the opposite of that is true? When the eaten cat in question magically reappears in the basement of their owner’s house and she admits on TV the story was nonsense? How can you support a blatantly racist bill, laughably performative, trying to make it illegal for the undocumented to vote on threat of government shutdown, when it’ already illegal for them to vote? None of that makes any f*cking sense if you stop and think for just a second but I don’t think that guy I know wants to think anymore. I believe he’s fine with some weird strong man telling how to live. I believe he wants to be that in his own family because he had his masculinity shattered for a second time. I think the Red-Pill is a means for weak men to “take back their power”. And above all, I think that sh*t is gay. Like, legitimately homosexual behavior. How the f*ck do you, as a man, let another man, tell you how to treat women? How to live your life?

These Boots Were Made for Licking

I am having the best time watching Trumps campaign implode. That first assassination attempt was a long time coming, mostly because dude is a terrible person with terrible politics and better men have been killed for less. I don’t condone violence to that extent but I’m not losing sleep over it either. Seriously, I was surprised it took that long, especially after the Putin stuff, the stolen fed docs, and the coup attempt. The second one felt kind of staged, Like dude was a plant to distract from the ABYSMAL performance Drumpf has had since that Kamala debate. Obviously, we still have a month and change until the election but, if Harris wins, she does so because of how well she goaded Trump into showing who he is. Concepts of a plan? Crowd sizes? F*cking Haitian immigrants eating park geese and pet dogs? Word? On a televised national debate? That last bit is what’s f*cking killing me right now. Like, really?

Trump thinks very low of Haitians. As president of the United States, mans is on record as calling Haiti a “sh*thole country”. That’s a direct quote. He said that sh*t YEARS ago. To see him glom onto such an absurd rumor is par for the course, I guess. The fact that his idiot MAGA cultist followers eat that sh*t up, isn’t a surprise either. What is surprising, is the fact that he even has to resort to such blatant fear mongering this late in the campaign. Kamala has him scared and rightfully so. She basically obliterated him in the polls across the nation. Right now, most pollsters have her taking the W by three to five points, nationally. Trump might be in for a historic loss because, after this, if he can get the big chair and use that power to kibosh all his cases, mans is definitely going to prison. He is running for his life and losing, which has him panic-flailing an latching on to anything that will scare white, suburban, people. Women, mostly, but he burned that bridge with the abortion thing. Kamala has already proven she’s strong on borders, reminding everyone that there was legislature on the table and Trump killed the vote, but that she’ll sign it into law the second she gets the White house. Can Brown Scare anymore. What’s left? The tried and true Black Menace. Only it’s not. That Haitian sh*t is bullsh*t and I can prove it.

JD Vance, Trump’s VP and Senator of Ohio (the place where all the Haitian shenanigans are meant to be happening.) basically said he made it up. That he will lie to everyone in order to further his agenda. It’s literally a “friend of mine, heard from their neighbor, that her daughter” situation. His constitute told him so. It’s not like the rumor started on 4chan as a racist joke and some really sh*tty, really stupid, Far Right blogs picked it up. It’s not like professional troll, Laura Loomer, who, apparently, is Trumps closest adviser now for some reason, doesn’t trade ins racist, bigoted, inflammatory rhetoric like “Those Darkies ate a dog”. The illest thing about all of this? Those Haitians are here legally, under the protection of the United States! We BROUGHT them here to SAVE them from the strife of their country. They’re political refugees, here legally, working jobs and contributing to the country. They pay taxes and follow our laws because, if they don’t, they get to go back to Haiti where they will absolutely be brutalized to death. No person, in their right mind, would risk that for some Canada Goose gumbo! It just doesn’t make sense but nothing about Trump, does. Nothing about his campaign, does. None of this makes sense, unless you are a crazy, racist, bootlicker.
