Weaponizing Ignorance is a Dangerous Game
And they rant about weaponizing the DOJ. Makes you wonder who you feel comfortable being around armed, right? I’ll take an FBI agent over a drooling fascist sychophant every time. Kinda sucks when you start feeling like there’s just too many mutherfuckers out there needing to be killed.
Advocating illegal acts is itself illegal.

The Cult of Ignorance -Isaac Asimov, January 21, 1980
15 years later… “I have a foreboding of America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time–when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all of the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; with our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.
And when the dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites now down to 10 seconds or less, lowest-common-denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”
Today, it’s the MAGA Trump cult.

They know it. They’re just powerless to resist.
“This place is sacrosanct,” Dmitry tells me. “For creative young people it’s a place they can come to find like-minded citizens and to get away from what’s happening in our country. It’s a little island of freedom in an unfree environment.”
Liar Dissected
It’s been a great exercise in spotting deceit – getting progressively easier, as the MAGA gang become further entangled with their lies in an ongoing futile attempt to re-write reality.
In recent days in his remarks outside the courthouse, in speeches and on social media, Trump repeatedly has made false and misleading statements about the case and trial.
USA Dementia Test
Brad from Ohio
This wanker sat in committee today whining about the terrible sanctions and hardships we were subjected to under Fauci’s draconian virus response. Regardless of anything the CDC, NHS, NIH, or anyone anywhere in government did or did not do in the virus response, one thing is crystal clear: They were trying to do something, while MAGA fuckwits like him and Napoleon Bonespurs endorsed doing nothing and ignoring it.
And that is EXACTLY why one of the richest countries in the world had some of the worst outcomes. It’s pretty simple, unless you’re ignorant enough to just ignore it. It’s called active ignorance.
Government Dysfunction 101
Roberts declines meeting with Senate Democrats about Alito controversy.
Checks and balances? Electoral College? Ethics? Balderdash. It’s really interesting to watch how their manifest politically untouchable attitudes emerge. Roberts knows better than anyone how fundamentally impossible any legislative challenge to their authority becomes in this partisan environment.
The only question is how much they can get away with while the political pendulum reverses course…
Which Lie to Believe?
LATE UPDATE: The jury didn’t believe any of it.
The Texas Electoral College
The electoral college scam foisted upon the young U.S. republic was never anything more than a white landowner protection scheme. Now in 2024, the Great State of Texas has seen it working so well across the country, it’s now time to implement their own, internally.
All you GOP fuckers winning the elections down there remember to say goodbye to ur reps. It’s probably the last time you’ll see or hear from ’em, if this goes into effect.
Time Machine
I’d be heading for the hospital in then Leningrad, around the first week of October, 1952.
Pope Fuckass Strikes Again
According to the current Pontiff®, Catholics don’t need or want the LGBTQ community. He said they could be blessed some time ago. Just keep them at arm’s length, use the pejorative terms to convey truth, and shine ’em on…
According to two prominent Italian newspapers ‘La Repubblica’ and ‘Corriere della Sera’, the 87-year-old Pope said seminaries were already too full of “frociaggine”, a vulgar Italian term roughly translating as “faggotness”.
Thanks for Acknowledging the A-Hole
I suspect most people would agree they couldn’t really care less if Harrison Butker is a misogynistic piece ‘o shyt. To each his own. But I don’t get what Mahomey, coach or anyone else on the Chiefs has to do with it, unless they either heartily agree or disagree. Yeah he’s a great teammate, so what? What about the housewife bullshyt? Nothing to say about that?
Then shut the fuck up.
If Only He’d Been There
Imagine how much time and money we’d have saved had Felonius Fuckwit actually been home and gawd forbid, furtively produced a weapon. FBI SOP’s aside, anybody carrying a firearm in a law enforcement situation not ready to use it as needed, really shouldn’t be there. His lawyers can’t even quote the paperwork correctly in their filings.
A Trump campaign fundraising email with the subject line “They were authorized to shoot me!” was sent soon after he posted on social media and made even more outrageous claims.
When This Phase Is Over
I’m not making any prognostications, but some things become self-evident with enough observation and analysis, over time. Exactly what we’ll have on our hands, probably before the end of the year, is most if not all the Israeli hostages dead, Gaza razed and nothing else changed.
Eight Long Years
Four to set the fasci’s in motion, four more to struggle against them, then…
