Hey sanity, it’s me. Yeah, another impeachable offense. The third in the latest cycle…

Here’s the second one in this next 15 day cycle. Absolute complete and total dereliction of duty by any member of a co-equal branch of government who isn’t pushing to stop this madness. Especially those in his party, and in control of Congress.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Let’s start the next 15 day cycle of things that would get any other president in history immediately removed from office: POTUS accuses his opposition party of cheating so he can attempt to limit citizens rights to vote.

Just scrolled back through my last 15 days of Bluesky posts and it was SHOCKING how many crimes that would have toppled prior presidencies have happened in THE LAST FIFTEEN DAYS. If you have been posting to document the madness, take a look. It’s stunning.

There is nothing OK about this. It’s repugnant, useless, cruel, and evil. I guess I just want to keep documenting the crimes for my own sanity. They are all going to try and pretend this never happened.

I know whenever things are going super great I always send vague, unsolicited, two paragraph emails devoid of any context to let everyone know that everything is indeed A-OK. ‘New victories pour in daily’ Ya hear that? New victories! Flowing like water! We’re bathing in victories! Friggen morons.

Is it bad when the only people who can afford Super Bowl ads are the aliens from They Live and the guys making Skynet

C’mon! Who WOULDN’T want to start a small business, knowing that if you are successful there’s a good chance the feds will change immigration law to challenge your citizenship, seize your assets, and hand them to one of Trump’s Yee-Haw Oligarchs before sending you to an Amazon-warehouse-death-camp?

This racist president needs to be removed. There is no low that this corrupt government will go. Every loyalist is as guilty as he is. This country needs to wake up.

Live view of Congress

I am responsible for approving contracts at the place I work. If any contractor I work with posted the wildly, unrepentantly, disgustingly racist crap the POTUS did, I would never authorize another cent of business with them. Yet, he’s still sitting there. Being President Racist.

The reason Trump puts up racist content is because he’s a racist. And anyone trying to find nuance in this is either lying, or okay with racism.

I don’t need to IMAGINE it, That’s THE LAW. You are IN CONGRESS. What in the all that is holy fuck?

Got it. So… The answers being wrong, no problem, but you best be dropping those wrong answers FAST! Why are we so bad at making useful stuff? Imagine spending all this money on creating a reliable cell signal, or making Tupperware that fits in the dishwasher properly and the lids never disappear.

It does worry me that a kid's odds of getting out of a tortuous detention center are mostly dependent on whether a random bystander got a perfect picture of them looking sad

It in no way surprises me that everyone even tangentially connected to Trump is associated with Epstein. It is equally in no way surprising that his biggest ‘enemies’, chiefly Obama and Biden, are not. He only ruthlessly attacks those he doesn’t have leverage on.

If you answer “No” you get an invitation to Mar-a-Lago

Asshole and, perhaps, pedophile, Donald Trump’s stock is way down since he’s gone full Nazi lunatic and started murdering citizens, arresting journalists, invading countries, trying to buy others (?), and generally being the worst version of everybody’s racist old grandpa. He just keeps shitposting.

We have reached the ‘arresting journalists’ phase of this fascist take over for the folks out there still acting like this is normal.

The SS. He’s trying to force The SS to CREATE and ENFORCE a code of conduct. I’m not surprised these folks are bad people, but at this point they’re proving to be bad politicians. TREATING YOUR OPPONENT LIKE NAZIS IS BOTH APPROPRIATE AND POPULAR! WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING IT?

Some of us been saying ICE is waging war on Americans and now this blob calls MSP 'In Theater' and Chuck and Hakeem are gonna get us all killed. Wake up. Here's your off ramp. If you don't support abolish, you support the continued attack on Americans. Pretty simple.

Last thought before I leave ‘The Internet’ for the day and head for ‘The Real World’. My entire lifetime, true progressives have been excluded from major political office because conservative bigots made up arguments about the rights that would be stripped from Americans. What the actual fuck?

It’s gotten quite simple. Either you recognize we are living through a fascist seizure of the American government, or I am no longer associating with you any more than is required for civil function. We are not friends. There is no longer any excuse.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Posting this for the inevitable lies to come.

How many more murders do I have to fund? All Americans are paying for these Nazi goons to shoot people for insulting them. It’s sick.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

All of these men are war criminals, and at least one of them rapes children.

My partner in insanity @orneryoldlady.bsky.social got me a custom bluray storage shelf for Christmas and I picked it up today. Pic one show the shelf in all it’s glory, pick two with a close up of my Criterion/Hall of Fame shelves.

letterboxd first week

Finishing Ingmar Bergman’s Winter Night because it’s less depressing than the 49ers game.

Another catastrophic thing has happened. We collectively decide which 240 character response is the most appropriate, blame all the wrong people, and inevitably move on to the next tragedy. Humanity is now and always has been, cruel. It’s hard to like it here some days.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Hold up… You mean the most grandiloquent FIFA award was naught but a bribe? I am shook to my core! However could such a vaunted institution as FIFA be involved in such wrongdoing?

To root out learning, this Texas University is digging holes, the perfect size for undergrads to stick their heads in until America is great again.

Hey, not only are we being led by a bunch of fascists, they’re also totally cool wasting all our money traumatizing a US citizen by detaining her THREE TIMES. This really is just the best, isn’t it? We’re really great over here in the states. Happy Holidays, all.

Cool! Here’s some great ways to start: Stop fund genocide in Gaza, stop shooting down unarmed folks floating in the ocean on boats you already blew up, stop letting untrained racists play police officer in ICE jackets… LMK if you need more suggestions on how to best save those lives…

So having the presidency, majority in the house, majority in the senate, and a hand picked supreme court isn’t enough for the Republicans to pass their very popular and totally rational agenda? That’s real weird.

Just going to leave this here for all the folks who want to blame people with nothing instead of the folks hordeing everything.

Here’s the ad POTUS Twittler is so very upset about and wants to make sure no one sees. It would be a real shame if everyone saw it. Over and over again. He’d get real mad. Like big boy mad.

So… If you live within ‘sniper rifle distance’ of a Federal building, you no longer have a right to privacy in your own home… Land of the free, home of the brave, everybody! Also: Follow Marisa Kabas

This indictment alleges James ‘defrauded’ a bank out of roughly $19k over the life of a thirty year home loan. Hasn’t the POTUS bragged about cheating banks out of considerably more money than this? I wonder why Leticia James was targeted…

Posting my #letterboxdfriday recent watches, though in October, my Friday four will be a small fraction of my recent viewing. Just starting Opus now, hence the lack of rating yet.

… and they’re all out of tax cuts.
