It's allways been obvious to many of us from the Balkans where trumpism was heading. But not to those who indoctrinated by the narrative of American greatness and the checks and balances bullshit. From February 2016. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

They're gunning for martial law. Our feted men and women in uniform, paid by our tax dollars will continue to kill us.

The Republicans are a Nazi party. But the Dems are idiots to the point of outright collaboration.

ICE was established in 2002 by Homeland Security Act. In Senate the vote was 90-9. In the House it was 295-132. Overwhelmingly supported by the Dems. Many of whom are outraged by what's happening now. The American political class is a bunch of idiots and sociopaths, all patriots.

The trumpist violence is the essence of their project. The idiot Dems and NYT and such invested far more in denying the possibility of such an outcome then preventing it. The date of this piece, May 2020. theintercept.com/2020/05/02/t...

This is a civil war. One side has all the weapons and uniforms. The other has midterms. Whaddya think is going to happen?

Who are they going to believe? Their own eyes? That ain't both-sides, objective journalism.

Saw Marty Supreme. Spectacular, funny, smart, the Chalamet boy having a time of his life. Still, yet another movie about an American male sociopath, bread in capitalism, whose exclusive course to redemption is success, necessitating demeaning + defeating others, preferably women and foreigners.

The Greenland thing is not lunacy or stupidity. It would blow up NATO and establish the hemispheric division, leaving Europe to Putin. It is what a Russian asset would do as per instructions from Moscow.

Who doesn't understand that if, according to the Trump/Miller Doctrine, the US claims the Western hemisphere, someone else will claim the Eastern hemisphere? The moment US boot touches Greenland, NATO is over, as is Europe, and prolly Taiwan. Happy January 6 to all who celebrate.

The regular reminder that all of the @democrats.senate.gov including @sanders.senate.gov voted to confirm Marco Rubio. Back in the Bush days 29 of 50 Dem senators voted to give him war powers prior to attacking Iraq, including one Hilary Clinton and her boy Chuck Schumer.

Trump is unforgivable. Trumpism is unforgivable. There is absolutely no excuse for ever voting for Trump. Damn you all to hell.

David Brooks of NYT is reliably the stupidest man in America, in a very competitive field. A man like that can be a public voice of some authority only in white supremacy. An absolute imbecile.

Trump is unforgivable. Trumpism is unforgivable. There is absolutely no excuse for ever voting for Trump. Damn you all to hell.

When you live in a shithole country where your choice is between out and out fascists and 'liberal' bigots and idiots. @schumer.senate.gov must go, and should fuck himself when he does.

Sources close to the president's family say that Maduro will be forgiven and left in power if he, like Hernández before him, can produce 400 tons of cocaine.

Book Advent #4. "The World and All That It Holds" by @sashahemon.bsky.social is a wonderful story of survival and longing across boundaries of all kinds. Books like this fill me with grief and hope.

@democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Don't you fucking dare fold! Do not accept bullying! Have some spine, you worthless suits!

The Great American Sociopaths!

Spot a Nazi!

This is me, except I'm Bosnian, Ukrainian, American.

There is a straight line from Bush and Cheney to Trump and his crew of psychopaths, in more ways than one. When Cheney shot his lawyer in the face, his lawyer apologized to him for causing him frustration.

History repeats.

Can confirm. My editor of 25 years, whom I followed from publisher to publisher as he changed teams stopped communicating with me around the time the novel I had worked on for 13 years came out. Cowardly silence. Stupidly, I thought we were friends. I couldn't sell enough to qualify for friendship.

I have to tell you, this is an idiot country, some smart people notwithstanding.

All of the Dems in the Senate voted for the honest Marco, every single idiot motherfucker. The vote was 99-0. There is a point where there is no difference between idiocy and collaboration. The Dems have been beyond that point for a long time now. @democrats.senate.gov

Charlie Horst Wessel Kirk

Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel (9 October 1907 – 23 February 1930) was a member of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, who became a propaganda symbol in Nazi Germany following his murder in 1930 by two members of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD).

Welcome to war, friends. This will not be resolved by way of elections.

If you call this anything but fascism, you might be a fascist.

Aleksandar Hemon: 'Fašisti uvijek čeznu za nekom prošlošću, a onda i budućnost tako dizajniraju'

It is out!

From this month's edition of The Onion.

Meanwhile, inside my head...

KKKolumbia University has firmly lodged itself in Trump's exhaust pipe. They can now establish a minor in Epstein Studies. Either way, they're not far from loyalty pledges as part of admission process or tenure pack.

Superman is about the white man's burden, a white liberalism manifesto. It's a consolation creed at the time when whiteness has revealed itself as fully malignant. But what about the good ones, Superman asks, particularly about the inherently superior ones who could be evil but choose not to be?

Superman is propaganda for the inherent goodness of whiteness.

The simple fact of America is that you can't have capitalism and democracy in the same place any more.

We're one massacre away from a violent conflict on national scale. The trumpists are gunning for that. So many lines have been crossed, and each time an army of columnists and reasonable analysts predict that America will reboot to its default mode of metaphysical democracy.

In 2017, after Trump's election, I co-wrote a pilot and an outline for a show premised on disintegration of the USA. In it, California first declared full sovereignty then independence. There was also the Great Lakes Federation. The opening shot was the Capitol dome collapsing in flames in 2040.

It turns out that literature could be for something more than dumbfuck empathy point-scoring.
