19 XI 2018: Boycott Trump

The Strumpets are trying to find another way to deny Acosta access to presidential press conferences. Denial of access would be no loss. What good does it do to question a person who constantly lies? Do the press really want to waste their time at Trump’s depressing vaudeville of self-aggrandizement, abuse and deceit? I believe the press should boycott Trump’s press conferences. I believe they should stop publishing his tweets. They should stop giving this charlatan a forum for his angry-drunk pronouncements.

16 IX 2018: Don’t ruin a young man’s future just because he…

Secretary for Education, Betsy DeVos, has revised Obama-era directives on the handling of allegations of sexual misconduct on university campus. The new rules make it more difficult for victims to make their case, restrict coverage of sexual offenses to the campus only, and generally make things much easier for amoral/immoral dudes who like beer, like it a lot, and abuse women. This is obviously an attempt to ease Trump’s fears of an increased pressure on young men to behave respectfully and responsibly. After all, they ought to enjoy the same license as he and be able to get away with it as he has.

Academics and their lawyers and Ms DeVos and her backers can, and will argue about this until hell freezes over. My view is that if sexual misconduct is alleged, it should be reported immediately to the police so that experienced investigators may determine whether punitive action is warranted. Academics have no business trying to administer the law, nor should they attempt to protect young adults from the consequences of their evil behavior.

Of course, the law cannot provide complete protection from the abuses by the mentally and socially immature.So lewd or disrespectful comments, crude innuendos, vulgar gestures, etc., would not go to the police. But they should make the offenders pariahs in campus communities.

14 XI 2018: Who deserves the honor?

So the First Lady’s office declared “It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that (Ricardel) no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House,” and Dr. Ricardel was immediately “reassigned.”.

I find the statement from the First Lady’s office ambiguous. Does it mean that Dr. Ricardel no longer deserves the honor of serving in the White House? Or does it really mean she no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House? Now I do not know whether Dr. Ricardel deserves the honor of serving in the White House. But the honor of serving in this White House? I’m sorry, but there can be no honor at all in serving in this Trumpian White House.

14 XI 2018: The Rose of the Old SA

I see that Laura Ingraham is continues her fear mongering about the heathen and savage brown hordes that are going to change OUR WHITE AMERICA. She is using an age-old reactionary formula that goes like this: “Lions and tigers and bears and (insert what you like), oh my!” E.g.,

“Lions and tigers and bears and gay marriage, oh my!”

“Lions and tigers and bears and blacks, oh my!”

“Lions and tigers and bears and brown people, oh my!”

“Lions and tigers and muslims, oh my!”

“Lions and tigers and feminists, oh my!”

“Lions and tigers and all who speak the truth, oh my!”

13 XI 2018: Trump among the bikers

I read that a group called “Bikers for Trump” gathered outside the vote counting center in Broward County to show their support for the Trump’s candidates. The mid-terms may have gone badly for the President (whatever he says!), but his has the enduring loyalty of these and other bikers.

One of the Bikers who, however, came in a pickup truck, cheered on the demonstrators by playing Trump speeches through his sound system, like the Nazis of old broadcasting speeches of their leader.

20 X 2018: The spics are coming! The spics are coming!

Figures in the Amerikan Nazi leadership are raising this cry, preparatory to the mid-term elections of course. Hordes of Hispanics swarming into the good old U.S.A. are going to take your job and change our WAY OF LIFE forever … as if our way of life were not changing constantly and permanently

You can get this sales pitch from Laura Ingraham who is competing with Ann Coulter for the Josef Goebbels Chair in Trumpworld. And, of course, you can hear the same blather from Trump himself and all the little Strumpettes in the Republican Congress and Fox News who echo his dire warnings.

What’s the problem with these Hispanics? Well, some of them are “hardened criminals,” and will take jobs away from our own hardened criminals. Many are seeking protection from illegal authoritarian regimes, and if they settle here they may question our own illegal authoritarian regime. Some of them smoke marijuana and we know what that leads to. But most of all, they are people of COLOR who produce LOTS OF CHILDREN, and if they get into this country, it won’t look like Kansas anymore.

17 X 2018: Back on the playground again

Trumpie has reverted to his playground self and labeled Stormy Daniels “horseface.”  The man is as lacking in wit as he is in decency. This is yet another manifestation of what a piece of childish white trash Trump is.

And now, he is in denial on behalf of the Saudi death squad. I suppose a man who has trained himself constantly and completely to ignore his own misdeeds can extend that courtesy to his bloody business partners.

16 X 2018: Angry Mob

Following the pseudo-President’s lead, Republicans and other reactionaries are now calling recent protesters “an angry, left-wing mob.” This is the new Trumpo-republican party line. Republican senators are being praised, and are praising themselves, as stalwarts who stood steady against mob violence and were unwavering in their support of Beer Keg Brett.

I would invite all whom the Republicans are attempting to frighten with talk of a “left-wing mob” to view some footage of the mobs at Trump’s “rallies” and then to view the portrayal in Triumph of the Will of the Nazi rally in Nuremberg in 1934.

What have Nuremberg Nazis in common with the Red Hats at a trump rally? Look and you will see.

We are not yet as advanced as the Nazis. The Proud Boys, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and firearm fanatics have not yet coalesced into anything so organized as Hitler’s SA. And ICE has not yet been turned into a new SS. But give Trump time.
