Incredibly generous to pre-approve my wife for life insurance. She’s been dead for nearly 3 years. I’m tempted to complete the application and see what happens. Seriously…it’s just a painful reminder of my loss. Capitalism…cheaper to mail to dead people than revise their mailing list. Fukkers.

An envelope, junk mail, from Mutual of Omaha. It’s addressed to me deceased wife with bold letters that read, PRE-APPROVED LIFE INSURANCE DOCUMENTS

QUESTION: When Trump goes to prison, will his Secret Service detail be locked up with him, or just stand outside his cell, or what? How will this work exactly?

This is where America is at right now. If you don’t see this or don’t believe it, then you are complicit and either part of the mob, or you’ve been bought off the way John Gotti bought off judges and the cops. That’s just the reality … like the earth is round and vaccines are safe & effective.

When a new administration impounds Trump properties for criminal activity (like how cops now impound a drug dealer’s car) we’re going to rename the one in Florida “Mar-A-FuckU”.

This quote…just how lock-step full of MAGA fluff must you be to say this about someone who starts lying the minute he gets out of bed in the morning: MAGA lawmaker Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL): “I trust President Trump. I trust Vice President Vance. … Let’s trust these two.”

This popped up in my iTunes shuffle today … reminded me of the timelessness of oppression and hypocrisy. Great parody on Dylan with ideas from 20+ years ago that still resonate today. From Dan Bern … “Talkin’ Al Kida Blues” artweb.org/Music/Talkin...

Trump said his military blockade of Iranian ports is the “greatest military maneuver in history.” Aren’t you weary of the endless bullshit…silly superlatives tacked onto everything? Supporters say it’s “Trump being Trump.” So yes. He’s being a lying sack of delusional shit because that IS who he is.

I haven’t posted this in a while, but with Orbán gone and Trump’s putrid nature on ever more full display, it feels necessary. It kinda makes me sad to know that I feel this way, because I can’t recall ever feeling like this about anyone before … yet I can’t deny my desire to see him gone for good.

I’m And I hope that you die And your death will come soon

DEAD

This is what the Trump regime of Billionaire control and Epstein cover & normalization has revealed … in case you weren’t already aware. It’s basically, exactly, what George Carlin bravely told us out loud under the cover of comedy.

Don’t believe in evolution? That’s a problem that believers of the Christian Myth bring to the table.

Because NOT believing in Darwinism, IS Darwinism.

WE DID IT! Yesterday was the largest single day of protest in modern U.S. history. Across more than 3,300 protests, marches, and demonstrations in all 50 states and abroad, at least 8 million of us gathered to say: America is a democracy, not a dictatorship. This country does not belong to kings.

I always heard this was a great novel, but apparently it’s just one of those “how to” books.

The cover of “To Kill A Mockingbird”. The book is for sale on Facebook Marketplace and the seller description reads, “How to kill a mockingbird book”

The crimes of Trump & Epstein are heinous, dark, and deep—but the perpetrators walk free. To survive as a democracy, we can't "turn the page." We must hold the traitors to account. Here's how.

I’m thinking it’s time to petition the UN and NATO to provide independent observers to our midterm election…the way we used to do for countries who, like us now, were facing the threat of corruption and rigged elections. It would provide some level of truth in the aftermath of whatever happens.
