Those Epstein Files wouldn't include information on Lord Dampnut arranging for Mr. Epstein's murder in prison or anything like that, would they? Just about the sexual abuse of underaged girls? Possibly also the cover-up of that? I mean the non-murderous part of the cover up?

Speaking of people missing the point, I saw some conservative pundit opining it's not unusual for straight men to be attracted to underaged girls. A word, if I may. 1) The issue is not about anyone merely "being attracted" to anyone. 2) The issue is not about how "unusual" anything is.

I find it ironic fascist Leader / egomaniac grifter / crime boss Lord Dampnut has taken to calling other people "piggy," given his famously corrupt, disturbing, and expansive appetites, albeit not generally, as I suppose pigs lovely creatures, intelligent, which should be treated humanely.

Blue dots are beautiful to me. Easy enough to be blue in a field of blue, but to be blue in a sea of red? I think that takes a little something beyond what I suppose many have in them. I salute you, blue dots in red states.

Funny. I read someone suggesting the investment boom relating to AI has "elements of irrationality." Stock markets having elements of irrationality? Reminds of Mr. Keynes's discussion of the matter in the 1930s, I suppose. It's been mostly bad economics in the conservative style since then, right?

"Quiet, piggy," doesn't sound at all what an elderly establishment elite egomaniac rapist, pedophiliac sexual predator, and bully would say to a female reporter when he doesn't like a question she asked him. Sorry. Strike that. Reverse it.

Funny. I saw post suggesting some conservatives see elderly, napping, Drowsy Donald, as creating "vulnerabilities" for the GOP. I get it. If I were a conservative, Republican voter, and I voted for a fascist Leader / crime boss to destroy democracy, terminate the US Constitution, I'd want action.

The professed hatred for the status quo of some conservative, Republican voters is matched only by their hatred for perceived "socialist experiments" that might change that status quo in ways they find inappropriate. Only establishment elite friendly anti-democracy fascism / gangsterism will do.

The conservative, Republican, focus on negativity, hatred, scorn seems to function as quite a psychic balm for many struggling voters, who desperately want to express their anger, unhappiness. It's something "we go high" optimism peddling can-do liberals / progressives / leftists should remember.

Conservative, Republican, right wing rhetoricians' emphasis on lazy complaint, criticism, destruction, hatred, scapegoating is much more psychologically fulfilling to many economically struggling people than liberals' positive plea to reconsider economic policy, think about ethics, support change.

Conservative, Republican voters gleefully believe or at least profess to believe any risible rot their establishment elite masters tell them, but then also they wonder the merits of our political system. The political system is fine; they're not. They're the problem. Could someone tell them, for me?

Whenever I mention "crypto-fascism," which is relatively often, I get hit with adds to buy crypto-currency. For the thousandth time, the term means hidden, obscure, arcane fascism, not fascism based on or using crypto-currency. Example, "Fake anarchists / 'libertarians' are crypto-fascists."

Normative, ethical, moral beliefs relating to economic power often have a relational aspect, so it's understandable struggling people who feel unfairly treated may be partially satisfied if they can at least bring down others who they feel are doing the same or better but with smaller moral claim.

Real or fake "leftists" ape fascist anti-democracy rhetoric in the sense of proposing politicians in a democracy constitute a self-contained, self-perpetuating "economic class" that tyrannically imposes its own will irrespective of voters, hence they see no difference between democracy and fascism.

Funny. Fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut on his recent MRI. "It was perfect. The doctor said some of the best results for the age; some of the best results they've ever seen." That was before lying he had released the full results. A true clown act.

I like the way some real or fake “leftist” tools of fascists talk about “liberal democratic government” as an entity that nefariously does this and that without acknowledging the role of voters in the proceedings. They perceive no distinction between democratic and non-democratic government.

Listening to conservative, right wing podcasters because every now and then you think they make a good point is like supporting fascism because every now and then you agree a policy. There are bigger issues involved. Maybe think more generally? Look to people, systems, methods, mechanisms?

One thing that made the USA susceptible to a fascist anti-democracy, establishment elite power grab was academic economists peddling bad economics in the conservative style and suppressing the significance of economic power for resolving interpersonal conflicts as over resources. #EconSky #ethics

I'm suddenly hearing a lot of personal opinions from conservatives, Republicans about the acceptability of people having sex with minors of various ages, but honestly I'm mostly concerned with what the law says. If one has opinions in that area, maybe tell one's representatives to express it in law?

Speaking of the dangers of all-powerful, above the law, fascist Leaders, cults of personality, anti-democratic despots, did you catch the story about researchers finding and analyzing a sample of Mr. Hitler's blood and finding genetic predisposition to schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder?

For those in the USA who want a little break from the world of pure rhetoric and wordplay, a straightforward account of life in one country abroad. How about right wingers in cities, left wingers in the rural countryside? It's a topsy-turvy world in which we live, isn't it?

Talked with yet another former classmate pulled into the anti-democracy fascist universe by listening to and taking seriously what conservative, right wing, Republican pundits say, then thinking he can "work with them" to further some of the myriad random goals they pretend to be concerned about.

I'm curious. When people in countries other than the USA fill out government forms, are they asked what "race" they belong to, identify with? Or is that an American thing? I filled out a form recently and found no "there's no such thing as a race" option, but I did find one for "prefer not to say."

I don't know what fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut is so concerned about with respect to those Epstein files. This was a guy who boasted he could murder someone on the street and not lose a single supporter. They voted for him when he was a felon, rapist.

Speaking of the unfortunate consequences of the religious mind, how about the five Michigan Muslims (including one juvenile) who were planning to mass murder gay people over the Halloween weekend? Michigan Muslim. It's a bit of a thing, isn't it? Surely supporters of the fascists and Lord Dampnut.

In the unaccountable difficulties with common words department, I saw a BBC bit that noted Mr. Mamdani has described himself as a "democratic socialist" and wondered whatever could that mean. I suppose pro-democracy? And concerned about society, social welfare, that sort?

For all those who insist on complacently referring to mainstream conservatism, Republicanism as "Maga," I noted that one greasy, manic, conservative fascist who famously said when he was young all his little buddies in Hicksville thought Nazis "cool," posted recently: "Maga is dead." So ...

Funny. I read conservative, right wing, anti-democracy fascist Lord Dampnut declared Nov 2 to 8 to be "anti-communism week." Because you know what a threat communism is these days, right? Just joking. Because you know how important the image of fighting communism is for fascist rhetoric, right?

Is there any more disappointing or indeed disgusting word in modern American political discourse than "bipartisan?" So, you're working with anti-democracy fascists - and you're happy about it? It's a feather in your cap? "I work closely with Nazis, so ..."

Conservatives, Republicans, trying to think about economics, "People who disagree our conservative market utopian views on the distribution of economic power are just scoundrels who want free things." Also, "Lord Dampnut say he's willing to give us a cut of his anti-free trade tariffs? Yes please!"

I suppose the one criticism anyone with any concerns at all about neoclassical economics will know about is this business about unreal assumptions. It's hardly the most significant issue in bad economics in the conservative style, but anyway let's talk about that this week. (20) #EconSky #ethics

Just to review, the fact one perceives some level of power inequality to be ethically unjustified given one's normative views on the resolution of interpersonal conflicts of preferences as over scarce resources does not imply one views are based on achieving some precise other level of inequality.

I know it's petty to comment on the sartorial choices of politicians, but whenever I see fascist Leader Lord Dampnut sporting a blue tie to ridicule his pro-democracy opposition, it reminds me just how low conservatives, Republicans really are. How petty. How immature. Just disgusting people.

I suppose fascist leader Lord Dampnut's, aka General Bonespur's, bellicose promotion of (others engaging in) war, as renaming sober Veterans Day as good times "Victory Day," is as un-American as anything else his conservative, Republican, fascist voters support. That's not the American Way.

One often hears of the unfortunate sort of activities repressed gay men from places and cultures that express hatred and bigotry toward homosexuals can sometimes get up to, but has anyone discussed that anti-gay serial divorcee "straight" Ms. Davis, from Kentucky, may just be a repressed lesbian?

Isn't conservative, right wing nativism in which often poor rednecks suppose they own not only their own house and land, if they own that, but the entire neighborhood, nation as well, the same basic phenomenon as poor urban folk who oppose gentrification because they think they own the place?

Any authorities on the world's ballrooms out there? Is the Epstein-Trump Ballroom shaping up to actually be one of the "greatest ballrooms in the world," as per Lord Dampnut's claim? Or was that just more self-serving puffery? I mean, we're giving up much of the WH to get it, so ...

I saw establishment elite billionaire and fascist Leader Lord Dammpnut proposing he tore down the East Wing of the WH to build "one of the greatest ballrooms in the world." He really knows what conservative, Republican voters value, what they want our resources going toward, right?

I like the way fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut is always looking for opportunities to laud himself, give himself awards, name things after himself, that sort of thing. Talk about cringe, right? So un-American. Much like conservative, Republican voters.

How about old-time "neoliberals" using market utopian rhetoric to fight corporate fascism / "crony capitalism" by saying it "rigs the system," with "the system" apparently being the rhetorical artifact The Free Market, which must ostensibly be protected from "activist" fascism and democracy equally?

If you're worried fascist Leader / crime boss Lord Dampnut may be soft on crime because he keeps pardoning right wing criminals and terrorists, have you seen the number of foreign people in boats he's killed recently? Would someone soft on crime do that? Oh ... well, say, if they're also criminals?

At the end of the day, many of the more economically powerful, status quo supporting, conservative / "neoliberal," typical older Democrats are not particularly bothered by the prospect of conservative, Republican anti-democracy fascism / gangsterism, as also members of the establishment elite.

Elderly Democrats seem to be living in some other era. I wonder which one. Is it 1980 for them? Maybe 1990? When they see conservatism, Republicanism, do they see modern anti-democracy fascism / gangsterism? Or do they see the fascist movement in its relatively obscure infancy, as under Mr. Reagan?

One mistake many pro-democracy leftists make is to suppose that because they think poor people and working people are ethically or morally not getting as many resources as they should, are being taken advantage of, those people will like or support them. It's really two different issues.

Funny. I saw one of those southern Neo-Confederate fascists sporting a "Florida Man" T-shirt in which a superhero-like Florida Man was bravely wrestling an alligator. I wondered, is that how they see themselves? Perhaps the alligator represents US democracy? The US Constitution? The rule of law?

Conservatives, right wingers, Republicans, fascists trying to think about economics. "We hate democracy because it allows voters to distort or interfere with The Free Market." Also, "We don't believe we should have to compete in a free market for labor against foreigners or even immigrants." #ethics

Private charity pushes the costs of addressing social dysfunction onto the good, thus reducing their economic power, while those who support and benefit from the dysfunction prosper, expand their own economic power. The establishment elite loves replacing welfare state policies with private charity.

Did I hear conservative, Republican voters declare they will all be learning Russian and in the future intend speaking Russian only? No English? To show their support for Lord Dampnut and the Republican Fascist Party? No. I didn't. But it would facilitate emigration, and it does make a lot of sense.

New York Times editorial asks, "Are we losing our democracy?" Are they stupid? Do you think? Maybe? Could be? I feel I should be writing a newspaper for NYT "journalists" to read so they develop some clue about what's actually happening in the USA.

Economically powerful establishment elite, conservative, Republican fascists, "We think you should be very concerned about ... let's say, immigrants ... and poor people who need assistance .. and maybe ... random foreign people in boats." Typical American voter, "Oh my. Save us fascists!"
