Then and Now

2009-10, a few hundred thousand people turned out for Tea Party rallies. The press almost twisted themselves into knows covering it. There was stuff about the "people sending a message" and that the politicians needed to take heed.

Last Saturday, somewhere between four and nine million people turned out, protesting in every state of the Union. And for that, relatively crickets. The coverage was dismissive, at best. The Grey Lady of Trump (NYT) wrote of "thousands" protesting nationwide.

The MSM doesn't think that we matter. We need to teach them overwise.

Throw every Republican, and crypto-Republican, such as John Fetterman, out of office.

Malicious Compliance, or DILLIGAF. Plus RW Terrorism

I watched some of the footage from the Rotted Mango's birthday parade. There seemed to be a something going on with the soldiers, from simply not giving a shit to malicious compliance. The marching was more of organized strolling. The formations weren't marching in step and appeared to make no effort to do so. The Ft. Bragg campaign rally had soldiers creeened for political reliability. The parade had soldiers that appeared to not only not give a shit, but were resentful at having to spend an entire Saturday performing for a draft dodger who regards them as chumps.

And what the hell was up with them playing "Fortunate Son" while the soldiers marched past? It's an antiwar and antidraft song. It mocks people like the Hair Furor.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota assassin was indeed a Trumpanzee.

And Trump is still a terrible person.

Four to Six Million People

That's a rough estimate of the number of people who turned out yesterday for the No Kings protest.

One protester is probably equal to ten or twenty who feel the same way and didn't march.

The politicians should pay attention.

Welp, Here We Fucking Go Again

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Israel took “unilateral action against Iran” and that Israel advised the U.S. that it believed the strikes were necessary for its self-defense.

“We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region,” Rubio said in a statement released by the White House.

Anyone who belives that has rocks for brains. We're Israel's patron, we supply most of their weapons, we give them billions in aid. The chances that Bibi would do this without express clearance from Trump is infintesimally small.

No, we are involved and once again, a Republican president has involved us in a Muddle Eastern war that could easily turn into not only a quagmire, but this time, it could blow up into a global conflagration.

Heckuvajob, Donnie.
