For as long as I live, I will never understand the hold this guy has over people.

And yet the same people who are awed by his celebrity are also the ones talkng about how celebritees need to stay out of politics. You'll pardon me if I can't take their critiques all that seriously.

This is getting silly

 

 

People from other countries who want to become US citizens want to do that because their home countries are not good places to live.   They are dangerous and/or don't offer the opportunities the US does.  Canadians are happy with what they have in Canada.  Being part of the United States especially with Trump and the Republicans in charge isn't the flex Trump and his sycophants like Jesse Watters thinks it is.

Oh, okay! Yeah, I've posted on there sometimes - mostly in the episode discussion threads when they were going, and then occasioanlly I'll pop in if there's another topic being discussed that's of interest. Neat to find someone else here who also hangs out at that subreddit, or has at least posted there on occasion :).

I'm in the politics sub, and a gardening one, but I hardly see anything from them, now that the election is over, and the gardening season hasn't started yet. I'm in a couple of ADHD subs, and two more for spooky (supposedly true) stories. Things like that.

*sigh* I didn't want to go on Facebook. I heard bad stuff, and I tend to get pulled into stuff easily. I wound up cover a comic book convention for a website, and I had to get Facebook so that we could coordinate.

That was in 2016. I'm still on it. About half of what I do is bitch about my life, bitch about the world, and share funny animal clips. I seldom post in public. I have 158 Friends total. I like going there, but I'm aware it could become a total cesspool in the coming months. My problem is that I don't know where to go. I keep hearing about BlueSky, but that seems more of a destination for refugees from Twitter, a platform I never used. I don't know of a "worthy" replacement for FB.

I got sucked into Facebook when my HS class was organizing a reunion in 2009 and used it to coordinate the event. I have over 250 people on my friend list but rarely post (and I know every single one of them personally). Usually I post with photos of my late parents on their birthdays and Mother's and Father's Day and wish friends a happy birthday or send condolences.

I kept in touch with friends during Covid lockdown on FB, especially after my father died of Covid in April of 2020. I have everyone on there from my first boyfriend to old co-workers, old bosses, even the doorman in my father's old building. I sometimes look in on distant relatives, especially the Canadian ones since I have so many and I have never met most of them.

I also belong to some groups, especially nostalgia-based ones like my old schools and ones that post photos of the old Bronx. My BFF and my SIL are both on Facebook 24/7 but I rarely look at their pages. I still haven't even seen the photos of my SIL's new puppy. Most of my HS classmates are griping about Trump and the Republicans just like we do here or the new "congestion pricing" in NYC. It sounds like a lot but I probably look at FB once every two weeks if that.

Otherwise, I have an Instagram account just to look at other people's postings but nothing else.

Oh shit, we're so screwed.

CNN, Jan. 8 2025

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said he spoke with President-elect Donald Trump by phone this week in support of a former law clerk who is seeking a job in the incoming administration – but the justice said he did not discuss Trump’s pending effort to delay his sentencing.

“William Levi, one of my former law clerks, asked me to take a call from President-elect Trump regarding his qualifications to serve in a government position,” Alito said in a statement issued Wednesday. “I agreed to discuss this matter with President-elect Trump, and he called me yesterday afternoon.”

Yeah sure, Alito. The Supreme Six will once again look out for Trump.

Did anyone watch Alex Wagner's show tonight? She listed all the states, politicians, etc that were going through difficulties (e.g., wildfires, pandemic needs, hurricane destruction, etc) that had federal help *delayed* by Trump because he was angry with them. I wish I had that list. It was a long list, and stunning. My reaction was that Gov. Newsome is darn lucky that Joe Biden (who went out there today) is still the president...at least for another 11 days. Mr. Vengeance will somehow try to screw up any help though, once he gets into office... guaranteed!

Every state is vulnerable to something - hurricane, tornado, wildfire, volcano, flood, etc. - and thus we all have to fear Donald having a tantrum about any federal help when our community might need it because he's been slighted by our state's electorate or governor or senator.  

My heart breaks for all these people who are losing not just their homes, but their communities - their kids' schools, restaurants, businesses, places of worship.  They are really losing everything.  I hope our Primetimer friends in southern California stay safe.

Now I’m imagining “before” footage of Steve Bannon, Alex Jones and Giuliani smoking thick cigars in a forest, earning some much-needed pocket money. Yes, wildfires sparking and Dear Leader flexing being directly connected is far-fetched AF, but I put nothing past the MAGA bunch.

Thank you.  One of my children and her family had to evacuate.  They are fortunate to be able to go be with family.  Another has been without power all day. The apartments I looked at last week had to evacuate.  Another place I looked at is under an evacuation warning.  Those are all minor inconveniences.  We know five families who have lost their homes so far.  I'm sure that number will go up. 

I don't really want to move to LAC, but I promised my kids.

And to add insult to injury, we'll also have a party in power that refuses to acknowledge that climate change, which is causing these sorts of catastrophic natural disasters, is a thing. So nothing will get done to tackle thie causes that lead to these sorts of horrific events, and more of them will happen, and natural disasters of this magnitude aren't cheap to fix, so we're gonna be blowing a lot of money after the fact, which means we won't be able to properly fund other things that are deeply underfunded.

To say nothing of how some of the damage from these natural disasters caused to our environment will be completely irreversible and we're leaving a hellish world for future generations to inherit. 

But hey, price of eggs and all that, right?

Thank you.  So far all the fires have missed me, so I'm just dealing with winds (thankfully decreasing after last night's insanity when my house kept sounding like it was coming apart at the seams) and a hell of a lot of smoke, but I know people who've lost homes.  The scope of this is overwhelming - and, at zero percent contained, we're just beginning - and feels like we're under "Where next??" siege.  Knowing the federal government is about to be controlled by a guy who has repeatedly threatened to withhold disaster aid to us based on lies and retribution, and who denies the role climate change plays in the increase of wildfires, does not help.

Asking with respect - can you tell us what those 'machinations' are? This is a genuine question which I have already asked once before.

And respectfully I'm not going to specify all here lest my words be torn to shreds.  Biden has been done being OUR president for several weeks now. All one has to do is listen to the news to learn about all his latest "accomplishments" and the petty shit he's done recently to make the new administration work a bit harder.

A small example would be banning offshore drilling at the eleventh hour. Why? What purpose does that serve other than to piss off Americans who don't want to be oil dependent on other countries.

Biden on the ban:

“My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses, and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation’s energy needs. It is not worth the risks.”

Agree or not, there's no confusion or hidden "Why" here -  Biden  was up front and clear as to why he did what he did.

Not to forget that while LAC is literally under siege the incoming president can’t even hold his fire. Instead he’s madly firing out attacks and insults at Governor Newsome (whom he childishly calls Newscum)

OK California is a big place but even the republican/maga residents have to have some compassion for their fellow residents no matter their political beliefs and find their guy cruel and heartless

On the other hand we have a man who is not yet president trying to grab the spotlight every day by saying and doing things that make it that more unacceptable that after noon on January 20th he will be the president

Seriously.  Also, I suspect that the period between election day 2028 and inauguration date 2029 Trump will be extra-extra checked out.

And I hope I'm proved wrong about this: I strongly suspect that should Biden die in the next four years (a very real possibility given his age), Trump will ensure we have no declared national mourning period with flags at half-staff for 30 days.  In fact, I'll extend that to all four living ex-POTUSes.

If you think that's an example of him "sabotaging" Trump, then clearly we aren't operating under the same definition of the word. 

Trump siccing his supporters on the Capitol and encouraging them to storm the building on January 6th, 2021, all based off the lie that he totally won instead of Biden and trying to stop him taking office, is what actual sabotage looks like. Biden putting forth policy decisions that are in line with the kinds of things he wants to do as president? Not so much. 

Don't make a claim like "Biden is sabotaging Trump" if there's nothing to actually back up said claim.

I was thinking about that this morning.  Trump would 100% be that petty.  None of the living presidents endorsed him.  Even Bush refused to support him. He might be able to prevent flags at the White House from flying at half staff but if other places want to I'm not sure he can stop them. Especially in states.  I also don't think he has control over what happens at the Capitol so if if the deceased President has requested he lie in state I don't know if Trump could stop that.  But if he did stop that I would like to believe there would be such an outcry he would have to reverse  himself. On the other hand the man thinks he is King so who knows what he is capable of.

I think if not Trump then his supporters are crazy enough to do something on Inauguration day and make it look like it's antifa or just plain Democrats doing it.  I might sound paranoid but these extreme MAGA people are unhinged.

Trump's rant against Gavin Newsom and blaming him for the CA wildfires is just a preview of what's to come.  During times of natural disasters is when a president is supposed to step up and put politics aside and bring people together.  Bush might have been a moron but he didn't purposely want to screw up NO after Katrina hit to punish someone.  But Trump will take advantage of any tragedy he can to seek retribution.  And if I were to hear anyone I know blame or cheer any Hollywood Lib for losing their house I'm going to have to refrain from punching them in the face.

I would hope so but I honestly don't know.  Trump has poisoned so many people's minds and hearts. They follow his lead.  If he thinks let them burn they will think let them burn.

Nah, it was the Jewish controlled space lasers that MTG told us about. Although I'm a little confused as to why they didn't wait till after Jan 20th. They missed a golden opportunity to blame Trump.

In January 2021, in addition to inciting an insurrection and the attempted murder of his Vice President, Trump pardoned many of his felon friends and associates. Not exactly a principled exit.  It was seriously debated whether he would actually leave the White House and then he didn't even have the grace to attend his successor's inauguration.  

I was musing about future presidential funerals, wondering who will be the primary eulogizer for each.  I cannot think of any former POTUS (perhaps a future one?) who would speak at Trump's.  Given the age of most of our former POTUSes, there could be more than one death in the next few years.  Bush will be 79 this year and has had one heart procedure.  Clinton will also be 79 this year and he has had multiple heart issues.  Trump himself will be 79 a few weeks before Bush and Clinton, and he has visibly aged in recent years (there's only so much that can be hidden by spray tans and makeup) and reportedly has a diet than consists primarily of fast food, red meat, and Diet Coke.  And then there's Biden at age 82.  Obama is the kid of the bunch in his mid 60s.  

These presidential funerals are always a bit jarring when you see people you remember as young men and women, such as the Nixon daughters, and then I realize I'm in my 60s!  I'm wondering whether Dick and Lynne Cheney will attend today and hope we can see some interaction between Dick and Trump, given the latter's attacks on Liz Cheney.  A mutual death glare?  I'm also curious about the relationship between Dick Cheney and George Bush, since Bush has very conspicuously not spoken publicly about Trump, not even to condemn the threats levied at the daughter of Bush's former VP.

I remember at Obama's first inauguration Cheney was in a wheelchair due to an injury (knee maybe) and some comedian, I think Jon Stewart, referred to him as Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life.  Very fitting I thought.

I give a lot of credit to the members of military who carry the casket up and down the steps to the Capitol.  There was a story from Manchester's The Death of a President about how the designated bearer party practiced for hours after struggling to carry Kennedy's casket into the Capitol, that at one point they had someone (with one final test with TWO people) sitting on top of the casket they were using for practice to increase the weight even more.  

It was just noted that former VP Pence is at the Carter funeral.  I wonder if he will congratulate VP Harris on not having to run for her life earlier this week.

This has been a problem since 2015.  MSM gives Trump credibility when they take what he says and normalizes it. If Newsom responds in any way but polite he looks like the bad guy. And by the way I am so long over Anderson Cooper as long as he stays friends with Andy Cohen.

My best friend, who admitted she voted for Trump this time but later regretted it is now regretting it even more and coming to me to gripe about him. She is not being open about why she voted for him but she is bipolar and in her older age (66) is not able to take as much of her medication as she really needs due to sensitivity and safety issues, so I am being forgiving of her. Maybe one day she will admit that she let her "born again" Christian church convince her that Trump was one of "God's imperfect messengers". She has been too smart to fall for that crap for years, but perhaps she had a bad moment and gave into it. I just can't get over how they BS their congregations into thinking that Trump was sent by God. This kind of cult garbage is what is giving Christianity a bad name in the U.S. Mainstream Christian denominations do not do this AT ALL. In fact they generally do not proselytize politics to their congregations, although I can bet that Trump is pretty much despised by most Episcopalians and other mainstream Christian denominations in general, especially in certain parts of the country.

If someone I knew did that my first instinct would be I told you so and then I would ask them to explain to me what was their aha moment.  Was it when he started talking about adding Panama, Canada and Greenland to the United States? By force if necessary. Was it when he started picking the worst people possible for Cabinet posts?  Was it when he admitted he couldn't bring grocery prices down?  What exactly was it finally for people to realize Trump coming back to the White House is a very bad thing?

There will be a time and a place for me to ask her those questions but I'm sensing that now is not the time so I am avoiding talking about politics in general with her for now. When that does happen I'll likely post here about it. She did say that she didn't realize how wacko he has gotten until after the election, though. I told her I forced myself to watch snippets of his rallies during the campaign and was shocked at what I was hearing come out of his mouth, and it's not like I didn't already know he was wacko. Unfortunately a lot of people like her didn't pay attention to him and even when they did hear something they dismissed it as just more of his "bluster". People hear what they want to hear but at least some of what he's saying now might wake some of them up. Sorry to say I don't think most of them are as willing to admit it as my girlfriend is.

The story about having washed out ziploc bags to reuse them made me smile; it made me think of my mom.  One thing she did was wipe off aluminum foil and carefully fold it for another use.  I also enjoyed the amusing story of how a nuclear engineer initially struggled using a cell phone, because I remember my father, also an engineer, having difficulty programming a VCR.  These are the stories that are so wonderful to hear at a funeral, especially when celebrating such a long life.
