Heavily redacted, I am sure, so the old men in the diner won't get upset.

Just like with the hurricane in NC, no natural disaster is too much for these man made disaster from politicizing.

I haven't posted here much at all since Nov. 5 because, more than anger, I'm still impossibly sad that our country chose this guy again. Every Trump flag, banner or car sticker I see just makes me so sad. That said, I think one thing we continue to lose sight on is it just doesn't matter what he says or does or intends or anything to the people who support him and showed up to vote for him where it absolutely mattered. This isn't a shot at you, Wicked. I know you didn't mean that they're trying to hide him. It just made me think of that idea, that he's going do or say something that will shock enough people, but I think it's more hope than reality. Sure, they won't be able to hide him for four years. It doesn't matter. They're not hiding anything. Why should they? This is who they are. The only people outraged are the people who hate Trump (me included), but outrage means nothing anymore. Not for this guy. They've won.

I had a FB friend post something to the effect of, "See? WE didn't storm the capitol today. That's how democracy works." And, well, so what? Good for you. Good for us. But there were no repercussions for the guy. He's back. Nothing happened to him. And his supporters think he "Fights Fights Fights!" Jan. 6 didn't matter. Less than four years later, it just didn't matter. Like Sandy Hook.

No minds are being changed just because one side thinks it holds true to some sort of some normal behavior and adheres to some sort of rules they think apply. And, yeah, those rules apply - to that side. But they - we - also didn't show up enough to vote for a black woman, so who really fucked up here? It's our fault.

The people wanted him. Not enough people wanted her.* He's gotten away with everything his entire life. It will never, ever change. Everyone, please stop thinking it will, or that some particular moment or fuckup will ever change that. It won't. And stop forgetting that people LIKE him. They like him a lot. Congresspeople are afraid for their jobs because of his popularity. Like it or not, there's a perverse power of the people to that. Yeah, it may be cultish. Hell, I think it is cultish.

And it's worked. Twice.

(*I know, I know, we can litigate Biden staying in until he didn't, no primary, the media, whatever. But that really should not have mattered with this guy and the threats he poses. Everybody fucked up.)

I wish we could lock this thread on this post and move on to the hellscape thread that awaits.

I said Excel, but in 2035, it's going to be more important that a kid knows how to connect a computer to the internet, troubleshoot a printer, configure display settings, update drivers, type, effectively search on the internet, prompt AI ... than it is to fill out a ditto sheet.

No one will be printing anything in 2035.

Red Hat, Black Robe: the Sam Alito Story

Trump speaks with Justice Alito amid push to halt criminal sentencing

Funny how Trumpists mock disasters that hit blue states even though their states require a considerable amount of fedruhl relief cash.

The REALLY scary, terrible thing?

Sure, everybody fucked up by voting for/electing him (or not voting for anybody), but, apparently, hardly anybody thinks they did!

I'm not sad, I'm in utter disbelief at the stupidity of this country. Have been ever since Nov. 5.
