Chit-Chat: The Feels

And people are still doubling down on their 3rd party/no vote.  They feel so so proud that they stuck to their principles and didn't vote for those corporate shilling Democrats.  Let Trump run it all to the ground that will teach us for allegedly screwing over Bernie in 2016 (HE DIDN'T HAVE THE VOTES!).

To the 3rd/nos, what is their endgame? Do they want a complete collapse of the government and the economy? And then if that happens what do we rebuild? A Democratic Socialist paradise or an Autocratic one because when governments collapse it tends to be the latter.  These people love referencing the French revolution.  Woohoo we sent a bunch of rich people to the guillotine but then what happened when the revolutionaries turned on each other?  Fucking Napoleon is what happened.  It's one thing to want to radically change things up but have a long term plan.

Social media amplifies the worst voices. These people might be a minority, but they got used to the fact that the more loud and obnoxious they are, the more spotlight they get. Most of them probably don't have answers, just feelings and the desire to be edgy. Revolutions and wars are things that happen to other people, from poor shithole countries (they can talk about inclusiveness and uplifting voices from all backgrounds, but everyone who frequently encounters them on internet can see how little they actually think about people from other countries and backgrounds), so if they don't have parents or grandparents who were immigrants from countries destroyed by authoritarian politicians  and revolutions, they have no real frame of reference for it. For all I know it might be like a videogame to them, or a post-apocalyptic fatasy book. 

Also, all these French revolution stans seem to conveniently forget that one part of it is called Reign of Terror.

The same goes for the civil war stans, who were threatening liberals, if trump lost. 

I saw video last night, about the execution of a Romanian president in 1989. There were people wishing for that to happen here. I didn't watch on Youtube, I just found this.

Remember when the gestapo feds arrested the mayor of Newark, and then dropped the charges?  Prosecutors didn't bother to tell the judge, who found out in the media.  As Mayor Baraka was heard, on a hot mic, saying after today's hearing formally dismissing the charges, the judge "tore these people a new asshole".  Federal judge Andre Espinosa reprimanded the prosecutors for more than five minutes.  Highlights:

Quote

The hasty arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, followed swiftly by the dismissal of these trespassing charges a mere 13 days later, suggests a worrying misstep by your office.  An arrest, particularly of a public figure, is not a preliminary investigative tool. It is a severe action, carrying significant reputational and personal consequences, and it should only be undertaken after a thorough, dispassionate evaluation of credible evidence.

Quote

Federal prosecutors serve a single paramount client: justice itself.  Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth, and to the upholding of due process for all.

My thoughts for anyone clutching pearls: WHITE MEN ARE NOT VILLAINS. It just so happens that when you find a villain, it’s usually a white guy. Teaching inclusivity doesn’t mean alienation of white people. For God’s sake, I didn’t learn about the Tulsa bombing at any level of school. I found out in the first episode of Watchmen.

If we’re going to have a new reality show, how about people competing for the privilege of punching YKW in his mush? You’d get millions is applications for that.

The Tennessee legislature, led by a group of white Republican men, passed a bill titled the "Dismantle DEI Act", and one Democrat, a white woman, proposed an amendment that would re-title it the "White Fragility Act".  Amen, sister.  She asked on the House floor, "Why are you doing everything you can to complicate the relationships in the workplace?  Every company in this country that has strong DEI policies, they are thriving.  They have a healthy workplace, they have happy employees, they spend less time training employees, because everyone feels respected.  They take the time to make sure everyone feels respected.  I don't know what your problem is with people being treated like actual human beings on the job.  I think you should do some introspection, and find out why it is you want to make sure some people don't feel comfortable ...

The only people who know when Jake and his co-author started investigating this story are Jake and Alex. They could have been researching Biden's decline in 2023. But that then begs the question, why wait until after the election to publish this in a book? I do know part of the answer to that--Jake and Alex make more money in a book deal. And, once again we have journalists choosing their pocketbook over their professional ethics.

Yep. This is what bugged me during and after his first term, too. All these people coming out with these "bombshell" books about all the corruption and chaos and scandal that was going on during his time in office, and I was just sitting here like, "Hey, you know when this information would've been helpful, guys? WHEN HE WAS STILL IN OFFICE AND UNDER INVESTIGATION!"

Exactly.  I see people pointing fingers at Biden, at Harris, and George Clooney for godssake, and flailing around trying to assign blame for Trump's election anywhere but at the feet of an electorate who decided they'd rather have a felon in office than a black woman. 

The blame, at the end of the day, falls on those people who voted for that evil man and I don't care what rationale they used then or are trotting out now.  The buck stops with them. 

Agreed. January 6th should've been the end of the line. It should've been the end of his political career, and it should've been the end of any support from any voters ever agian, even those who had been Trump supporters up to that point (I'd argue that they should've stopped their support of him well before then, mind, but violently trying to overturn a democratic election is a pretty egregious criminal act that no sane person should ever overlook). 

The fact that it wasn't just further proves that I do not care what their reasons are for supporting him now, or what pretzels they twist themselves into trying to defend why they just HAD to vote for him over Kamala. Nope. Trump voters all made it clear that trying to forcibly overturn a democratic election is a-ok with them and something to overlook because "Immigrants! Wokeness! The border!" and other fearmongering bullshit like that, and I have zero respect for or any interest in understanding that"reasoning". At all. 

And none of this would've been an issue at all if our justice system had a fucking spine and threw him in prison after January 6th. That's where he should be residing right now, not the White House.

I don't see myself "flailing around". If Biden had only kept his word that he would be a transition president (& that's the impression he gave us, meaning he was going to serve a term to restore our country after the hell we'd all been through with Trump), we could've had primaries & chosen a candidate the old fashioned way...in the voting booths. I remember seeing a cellphone video at an outdoor spring 2024 WH function where Biden was having a nice chat with guests. All of a sudden he started sternly talking about fixing some roads, as if he were campaigning, almost yelling. Aides came over & escorted him back inside the WH. The Biden family & aides knew exactly what shape he was in & in no way was he able to run for re-election.

Aww, poor little guy! I'm really curious, how would the subject of Jews in WW2 even come up in a class full of six year olds? That seems so terribly young to me, but I know kids are exposed to everything so much earlier than I was at that age.

They start Holocaust education early and may have already been exposed.  Also, many of the children at the school are Jewish or have relatives who are, including Holocaust survivors.

At least where I was in Southern California Holocaust education didn't happen in elementary school. I was 10 when Schindler's List came out. I asked about the movie's subject matter and my parents gave me the details.  Needless to say 10 year old me was horrified.  We didn't see the movie in the theaters but I was allowed to watch it when it came out on VHS.

Sometimes, I wonder if things would've been better had he actually won in 2020. After his loss, he spent the next four years gearing up to be even worse than ever, and the lunatic right wing designed plans around it. But I figure 2021-2025 would've been as big a demoralizing slog as 2017-2021, and Republicans would've have at least considered giving him a third term. Of course, going for that means Obama would have to step into the ring (regardless of whether he'd want to come back), and that's one fight the GOP wouldn't want to see play out.

I have had these thoughts many times over the past several months. It is obvious now that for 4 long years he was stewing and plotting his revenge. I hate to say that it reminds me of when Hitler was thrown in jail and wrote "Mein Kampf" after his failed coup. When he got out he was more prepared and determined than ever. Both that and Project 2025 were like the blueprint for what was to come in each case, and made what was to come even worse than it might have been without them.

I wish the people who protected Trump from himself during his first term hadn't done so.  I know they thought they were doing the right thing, and it seemed like the end of the world then, but it wasn't.  What we have now is far worse, and keeping Trump from acting on his worst instincts disguised who he truly was and what he truly wanted and just how insane he is.

It would have been awful, of course, but it's hard to imagine how it could be worse than it is now.  And there's the chance that back then, people would see who he really is, like they are doing now, at a time when they weren't as deep in the maga delusion as they are now.

I have also had these thoughts many times as well. In his first term there were people to keep him from going too far off the rails and he mostly let them do it. Plus he was editing himself because he wanted a second term and he probably thought he needed to hide who he really was to some degree to win. I think this is when many of his followers were fooled into thinking he had their best interests at heart and that he really wanted to do some good for the country. He lied and they bought the lies. And now forget getting them to realize that.

Then, to cement their allegiance, they were told that the lie was that Trump was anything negative and it was a big left wing conspiracy to get them to think he was a bad guy. So they are blind to it now. It's really certifiably insane at this point. But such a good job was done on these people that they are now too far into the MAGA delusion as you referred to it to see reality with him. Again, like Nazi Germany, there were many German citizens that still had allegiance to Hitler even after Germany was reduced to pile of rubble because of him. Their entire lives were in ruins but even when confronted with the facts they still could not see how he was responsible.

You do realize this makes no sense? 
 

So i sightful, so cutting, so profound and thought provoking. 

These comments and memes are from people who claim they had to suffer through 8 years of Obama, without ever saying just how they suffered. Mainly I suspect having to endure having a black president. The unimaginable horror of a black woman as president has  sent them over the edge.

That's not the lefts message. It was a random picture from a democrat. 

The lefts message since trump took office is we are doing all we can to stop a dictator from taking over. The guy trying to MAGA by consolidating all power in the president.  

The republican message has been maybe he's crazy but he's better than Biden and let's just let him do whatever he pleases and ignore the courts.

If that's how you feel, then I guess you're responsible for all the lies the Dems have told (esp. denying the dementia), and you did nothing about it. Ridiculous! 

The democrats did eventually remove Biden from running another term.  

Republicans meanwhile do nothing to curb trumps power. 

So you would have preferred he resign and Harris took over ?  Don't act like maga wouldn't have b****** endlessly about that too.  

My opinion is democrats never should have run Biden last year at all and had an open primary without him. That was a huge mistake.  And we are all paying for it.
