I see that last night at Mt. Rushmore Trump said communists will take over the country.
How retro of him, and thanks for starting the next Red Scare.
Yet Momdani spoke from Washington's desk at City Hall in NYC, and knocked an authentic patriot's speech out of the ballpark.
Trump's MO has always been "blame someone else". He shifts--remember during Covid it was the Chinese. He hated/loved/hated/loved Putin. Their relationship is "complicated" according to Truth Social. So I'm not surprised it's "communists" this time, because he's an idiot and cannot differentiate between democratic socialists and progressives, let alone communism and socialism.
He attacks anyone who disagrees with him. A four year old can recognize the pattern.
I'd say "We're doomed" but honestly, where Americans have failed, other countries and Mother Nature have stepped up.
We watched a few My Cat From Hell's yesterday while Jim made chicken rice soup for Genoa, who has strep. Yes I threw that in there. He was dealing with a cat bully, and was focused on the victim--a beautiful black cat named Scout. I took umbrage with that, I thought he should have focused on the fluffy villian of the story. He said "A bully will back off when the victim stands up to them". Ok, he said it more cat friendly, but he said it. I still don't agree with his focus, but when he spent time with Scout...well, he uncovers other issues. Not unlike Bar Rescue, when Tanner diagnoses spousal issues, or management bullying, or incompetence that are the cause of the faillure. Jackson called out the mom for allowing her kids to not contribute in any way to feeding/ cleaning/helping with the cats.
So mom was actually being "bullied" by her three kids' apathy, and she was allowing it.
Hmmmm.
I only have six people who read this, I don't need to connect the dots on these stories any further, do I? Y'all are smarter than I am.
The Irish Dance Festival in Florida was having none of the right wing flag waving --he wasn't even a politician, he was some Hoo Ha with an adjacent company---who decided that Ireland's one transgender dancer be disallowed to perform. Because transgender.
You don't get to boss an Irish dance company around, Florida Dick.
And the dance company quietly batted him on the nose. They wrote a few words about inclusion and the hisotry of dance and how nobody in Ireland gives any shits about gender, and the festival continued as planned.
It's always other countries. They will not allow themselves to be bullied. That's it. That's the bottom line.
For all the protests at Delany and elsewhere, there have been no prison breaks. Nobody's been busted out. Nobody stormed the Bastille.
But Mother Nature saw to the coldest day of the year for his inaugeration and is burning DC for his "America 250" nonsense. Hailed at Mt. Rushmore. DC will be one of the hottest places on earth today for his "speech". So ya.
Everyone is stepping up except our own congress.
I came across a nasty repost---Heather Delaney Reese/ Cox Richardson or The Other 98% or some such commie liberal site I follow---that said
"So a cockroach can enter this country and have a baby and in 18 years that cockroach's vote will cancel out mine."
I'd like to take a moment to unpack this.
Firstly--cockroaches cannot vote. Your posit is dismissed because you don't understand that you just used a metaphor, you were just being a dick.
Secondly--you are racist. You just referred to a human being as a cockroach. You should be censured or deprogrammed or something. You Need Help.
Third--you assume this "cockroach" will have different views than yours. What if they believe in racism and exlusion and cruelty the same way that you do? Then their vote does not cancel out yours. They could be on your side for all you know.
Fourth--cockroaches have up to 50 babies. You will have more than one who votes against you--or with you--or split.
Birthright citizenship has been the law of the nation since 1868.
It's why you, "Bridget" (I avoid Karen-calling, other names are fun), are an American Citizen. I have no idea what your cockroach origins are, but unless they are indiginous or you are a descendent from slaves (which I can assume you are not because you sound Really White) your great great X(how many generations back) grandparents were considered cockroaches from Ireland, or Poland, or Yugoslovia, or Germany or even Russia.
It's also why I am an American Citizen.
We were all --OK, not all ---wound up excited about 23 and Me to discover our roots and celebrated learning Where We Were From. Did you do that too?
I did. I am a meatloaf cockroach hailing from Ireland, Wales, Poland and Germany. Sadly I do not have any Chinese which I understand most of us do thanks to Atilla The Hun, or any Neanderthal thanks to the fact that they were kinda dicks, if I remember? They were warlike...or the others were warlike...shoot. I have to do research. Anyway, I had 1% "other" which I like to believe is Neanderthal. I have zero indiginous, which I already knew. Someday I'll tell you the story of how my family was misled somewhere along the line, and my mom believed we were Cherokee.
We are not. Not even remotely. But definitely Irish.
All Americans are immigrants, you stupid woman. Your ancestors benefitted from birthright citizenship so your vote could cancel out mine.
In response to all of this, I chose to post three favorite poems on Facebook:
"I Am Waiting" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
"I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman
"I Too Sing America" by Langston Hughes
Look 'em up. It's clear why they are a fabulous trio of American Voices.
Enjoy your day. Turn your flag upside, down, eat a bagel, do a dance, sleep in, start your house on fire by exploding your grill---live your life. We're all Americans.
