If America’s Jews wanted to dispel the “myth” that Jews are a moneyed minority that at least wants to control the whole show (if it isn’t already controlling the whole show), their attacks on our university students who want a world in which the Judeofascists no longer are in such control aren’t helping them at all toward that goal.
Yet in the halls of power, 9 percent of our U.S. senators are Jewish and 6 percent of our U.S. representatives are Jewish, so Jews are significantly overrepresented, by their actual numbers, in Congress. One member of the U.S. Supreme Court is Jewish, which translates to 11 percent of our corrupt high court. (Not saying that Elena Kagan is corrupt, and I wish her many more years on the court, but she is Jewish.)
Pointing out that someone is Jewish, and how much political power Jewish Americans — or any other special-interest group — has in proportion to their actual numbers within the United States, is not, of course, “anti-semitic” (or “racist” or the like), but is just pointing out readily available facts.
Of course, knee-jerk, usually defamatory charges of “anti-semitism” are what the Judeofascists pathetically use to try to perpetuate their abuse of power. It’s terrorism — the attempt to get one’s political way via fear and intimidation — just terrorism without the shooting and bombing, such as already have killed more than 32,000 Palestinians since October 7.
(This is another blog post, but Israel’s and the Israel-firsters’ “argument” is something like this: If I shoot you with a BB gun, it’s then completely proportional for you to respond to that by blasting me with a shotgun in the face.)
I envision ideal democracy as proportionally representative, that is, that a certain group of people has proportional representation in the halls of power. If we believe in one person, one vote, then we only can endorse proportional representation, at least as an ideal, if not always an attainable ideal. Jewish Americans for many, many years now have had significantly more political power in the United States than their actual numbers call for. That’s just a fucking fact.
Then there is AIPAC, of course, the corrupt, bullying, Israel-first lobbying group that has attached itself to the American body politic like an enormous leech.
AIPAC goes well beyond just ensuring that American Jews get the representation that they deserve; for years AIPAC has endeavored to destroy political candidates who refuse to bend the knee and kiss its ring.
Like a virus diverts a healthy cell’s normal actitivies from benefiting the organism to benefitting the virus, AIPAC actively works to subvert American democracy via bribery and intimidation (the intimidation, of course, being AIPAC’s attempts to torpedo, via its big money, candidates it deems aren’t sufficient ass-kissers to the Jews and their political agenda).
The Israel-firsters are panicking now because while they have gotten away with their abuses for decades now, it looks like the tide is turning. This is why they’re attacking our university students — because they are the future.
Thing is, the terroristic casual flinging of the word “anti-semitism” largely has lost its power. I, for one, don’t give a fuck if an Israel-firster — a fucking traitor who puts another corrupt, fascist-led nation’s well-being far above that of the United States’ — calls me an “anti-semite.” I know myself and don’t need anyone else, especially a treasonous, Judeofascist asshole, to tell me what I am.
I applaud our young people for correctly identifying that we Americans have been under the thumb of the Israel-firsters for way too long. It is telling that the Israel-first traitors are attacking our young people. (Gotta nip it in the bud, no?)
It’s long past time for the United States of America to declare its independence from the Judeofascist state of Israel and to relegate Israel to the status that it deserves: just another nation in the world, another nation whose welfare certainly is not above that of the United States of America.
Again, it’s bad enough that Israel gets first dibs on the U.S. Treasury; now, Judeofascist dictator Netanyahu is trying to give us Americans, his cash cows, marching orders, which is beyond unfuckingacceptable.
P.S. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I’m an atheist, so I have no horse in the God race. Jewish, Muslim, Christian — all depend on a nonexistent Zeus-like deity and myth and superstition. So I take no sides in terms of the “God” bullshit.
There are many Jewish progressives — most notably, to me, Bernie Sanders — and I love them all, not for their Judaism, but for their intellect and for their decency and honesty, for their placing of truth and humanity above rank religious tribalism.
To assert that Israel should be the United States’ puppeteer in perpetuity because Israel is a Jewish state and therefore to oppose such anti-democratic puppetry is “anti-semitic” is to assert religious supremacism, specifically, the supposed superiority of Jews over the rest of us, which I reject with every atom of my body.
Where even to begin with how shittily the Repugnican Party is doing going into the November 5 elections, which are 225 days, or about seven and a half months, from today?
Donald Trump’s new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s legal bills before the RNC gets a cut, according to a fundraising invitation obtained by The Associated Press.
The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, who have received at least $76 million over the last two years to defend him against four felony indictments and multiple civil cases. Some Republicans are already troubled that Trump’s takeover of the RNC could shortchange the cash-strapped party. …
I won’t shed a tear for the Repugnicans, who, in their cowardice and short-sighted perceived political self-preservation, allowed Pussygrabber to take over their party. They thought that they could control the demonic beast once he was let into their house, and that with Pussygrabber, the pluses would outweigh the minuses and so that they would see a net political benefit in their support for (or at least in their toleration of) Pussygrabber.
I cannot recall a time when any former vice president did not endorse his party’s presumptive nominee for president — especially a nominee under whom he was vice president.
Then there is the barely-Repugnican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, of which I wrote back in January 2023, during the drama surrounding the multiple votes for House speaker that eventually put Kevin McCarthy in the job (requiring the most rounds of voting for House speaker since the 1850s), “If the clowns that comprise the House Repugnican caucus manage to hold on to power for a full two years, I don’t see them holding on to the House come January 2025.”
And, of course, the dog-faced moron Marjorie Taylor Greene has threatened to try to remove “Christo”fascist nerd Mike Johnson from the House speakership, which would ensure that the Repugnicans lose the house come January 2015 — if not before then. (It seems possible to me that with their dwindling numbers and their rank inability and/or refusal to actually legislate and govern, the Repugnicans could lose their House speakership to Democrat Hakeem Jeffries even before the November elections.)
On that note, it’s not that the Democrats are without their problems, such as uber-corrupt New Jersey U.S. Sen. Bob “Gold Bars” Menendez, who has not an atom of shame in his body, but on the whole, unlike the Democratic Party, the Repugnican Party is in fairly complete and total disarray, with down-ballot Repugnicans now lucky if they’ll get a cent from the Repugnican National Committee after Pussygrabber shakes it down for millions and millions of dollars for his self-induced legal costs (everyone else is supposed to bail the man-baby out; this has been the case for his entire pathetic, worthless, entitled baby-boomer [redundant] life).
As Sen. Lisa Murkowski just noted, the Repugnican Party is Pussygrabber’s complete and total bitch now, replete with his nasty daughter-in-law as “co-chair” of the RNC (of course, she’ll be calling all of the shots via her daddy-in-law, I’m sure; her “co-chair,” I’m sure, exists only to give the appearance that the RNC isn’t entirely owned and operated by Pussygrabber now).
All of the above is bad enough for the flailing and failing Repugnican Party, which now is a total subsidiary of Pussygrabber’s rapidly crumbling business empire, but I’m sure that I’ve missed plenty.
And then there is the polling for the November presidential election.
It has been my observation that Real Clear Politics includes in its polling averages polls from pollsters that fivethirtyeight.com says aren’t reliable, including blatantly pro-Repugnican pollsters, and therefore, Real Clear Politics routinely overestimates how well the Repugnicans are doing in its polling averages, as it did in the 2022 midterm elections, but if this pro-Repugnican bias makes Democrats work harder (it’s supposed to induce Democrats to give up, I surmise), that’s for the better.
Something to look at in the polls right now is the number of undecided voters. For example, when you add Real Clear Politics’ average of 46.6 percent for Pussygrabber and 44.9 percent for Biden, that’s a total of 91.5 percent, indicating that 8.5 percent are undecided or plan to vote for a third-party or “independent” presidential candidate.
I would, in fact, cite January 6, 2021, as probably the No. 1 thing that happened after Pussygrabber lost the 2020 presidential election that will prevent him from winning this November.
In the meantime, we should see at least one criminal trial of Pussygrabber between now and Election Day — again, his porn-star hush-money criminal trial is set to begin in New York on April 15 — and being on trial for several felonies generally is not great for a presidential candidate during presidential campaign season.
In short, all of the Repugnican Party’s chickens appear to be coming home to roost just at the right time, and although it’s not impossible for Pussygrabber to win in November (especially in another scenario in which he loses the popular vote but wins the anti-democratic and anti-Democratic Electoral College, as he did in 2016), I think it’s unlikely that he’ll ever sit in the Oval Office again.
If I had to bet every cent I have on whether Biden or Pussygrabber will win in November, I’d place my bet on a Biden victory, although I expect it to be narrower than it should be.
I think that when the truly independent voters — who mostly decide our presidential elections today in just a relative handful of swing states — must make their final choice for president in November (or earlier, via early voting, by mail or in person), when they really consider whether they want four more years of Pussygrabber’s never-ending trailer-park-fascist bullshit or four more years of Biden’s stable although not exciting presidency, they’ll choose the latter.
U.S. Supreme Court “Justice” Amy “Eyes Like a Deer’s in Headlights” Coney Barrett claimed in the court’s decision today that “The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election. Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up.” But what the court did by punting the ball to the U.S. Congress as the enforcer of the insurrection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was to add language to the amendment that isn’t there — in the corrupt court’s continuing service to former “President” Pussygrabber, of course.
And the way that the Electoral College works (48 of the 50 states award all of their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who gets the most votes in those states), excluding Pussygrabber from only blue-state ballots wasn’t going to change the outcome of the Electoral College in 2024 in the first place. (And, of course, probably no red state ever would have removed any Repugnican presidential candidate from the ballot — because democracy and the rule of law are not at all their concerns.)
Pussygrabber never was going to win a single electoral vote in Colorado or Illinois this November, for instance, and in the 2020 presidential election, Maine, which, along with Nebraska, divvies up its electoral votes, awarded three electoral votes to Joe Biden and only one to Pussygrabber.
The insurrection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment unfortunately doesn’t say who is to enforce it, but that doesn’t mean that the six right-wing “justices” on the Supreme Court get to proclaim that only Congress may be the enforcer. (Actual Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor correctly wrote in their joint concurrence that “the majority announced novel rules for how that enforcement must operate.” “Novel” is one word for it; “they pulled it entirely from their asses” is another way to put it.)
Supposedly these six Repugnican-appointed wingnuts on the nation’s highest court, three of them appointed by Pussygrabber, are against legislating from the bench, but they do so freely whenever it suits them and their political proclivities.
Indeed, knowing that the Repugnican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives never would vote to invoke the Fourteenth Amendment to keep Pussygrabber off the ballot nationwide, the six Repugnican-appointed “justices” declared that only Congress has that power — even though the Fourteenth Amendment is silent on the issue of enforcement.
Note that the Supreme Court in its ruling released today didn’t touch the issue of whether or not Pussgyrabber committed insurrection (because he did); the court only made up the new rule that only Congress may enforce the insurrection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (The clause notes that “Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability,” but it doesn’t say which entity may declare the disqualification in the first place.)
In any event, we have a wingnut-controlled Supreme Court that refuses to ever do the right thing, especially if it means a political outcome that they don’t like and don’t want, and until we address the problem of the runaway right-wing Supreme Court, such as by adding more justices to the court and/or imposing term limits on them, we have to overcome them and their blatantly anti-democratic (and anti-Democratic) rulings byvoting.
I lived in California in November 2020, and so, knowing that there was no way in hell that Joe Biden wasn’t going to win all of California’s electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election, I went ahead and voted for the Green Party presidential candidate as a protest vote (Bernie Sanders was the presidential candidate I supported in 2020).
But now that I live in the battleground state of Nevada, I can’t afford to cast a protest vote for president this November, knowing, as I did in California, that Biden will win my state’s electoral votes no matter how I vote.
So, while I’m still a Berniecrat, because I live in the swing state of Nevada, where my vote for president will count (much more than it did in California, anyway), I’ll be voting for Biden in November (in October, actually, as I’ll be voting by mail).
I encourage you to do the same, especially if you don’t live in a solid-blue state.
Three Great Lakes states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin) and three Southern/Sunbelt toss-ups (Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada) are likely to pick the next president of the United States.
Donald Trump carried five of the six states in 2016 (losing only Nevada), while Joe Biden carried all six four years later. The margins in all those states, in both 2016 and 2020, were extremely narrow, and most nonpartisan handicappers expect they will be close again this November.
Two other states are worth watching but aren’t likely to be as crucial: New Hampshire (carried by Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020) and North Carolina (carried by Trump twice). Two states that divide their Electoral College votes by congressional district (Maine and Nebraska) merit your attention, as well. But none of those states come close to being as decisive as the Big Six.
So that’s what it comes down to: While many if not most of us American voters would prefer to have different presidential candidates to choose from, come January 2025, unless one or both of them dies or otherwise is incapacitated, it’s going to be Pussygrabber for a second term or Biden for a second term.
The choice is going to be between democracy (if, admittedly, it’s democracy lite…) or fascism.
(As “president” the unelected Pussygrabber had four years to work on immigration, but he didn’t do so because that then would have eliminated his very politically convenient scapegoats.)
The Repugnifascists, like their Nazi forebears, must have some group to scapegoat, and so Latino is the new Jew.
In a way, it’s heartening, though, to know that, besides its many anti-democratic, treasonous attempts at voter suppression, the Repugnican Party now can rely only on the ignorance, the gullibility and the hatreds of the backasswards, chromosomally deficient members of the electorate to have any electoral success at all.
Truth and morality aren’t on their side, and look at the quality of the people attracted to Pussygrabberianism. These mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers — as we saw on January 6, 2021 — are not going to pull off the little Civil War 2.0 that they claim they want. They are way too fucking stupid — but nonetheless, they can fuck around and find out.
While the Repugnifascists can slow down progress — the backasswards pieces of shit have done so for decades — they cannot stop it altogether. (Look at same-sex marriage, for example.)
And just lying that you actually won the elections that you lost, as Pussygrabber and his Mini-Me Scary Lake have done, is not a long-term strategy for political success, but, besides its scapegoating, it’s pretty much all that the Repugnifascist Party has left.
The Repugnifascists will find that they cannot indefinitely do nothing to benefit the American people and try to cover up for that fact by demonizing already-shit-upon groups of people — and, again, they’re going to find that lying that they actually won the elections that they lost is not going to be a winning political strategy for the future.
(Indeed, it hasn’t even been a winning strategy thus far; neither Nazi Pussygrabber nor she-Nazi Scary Lake got the offices that they lied that they’d won.)
All of this bullshit has a limited shelf life, as I believe the treasonous Repugnifascists are going to find out in November and thereafter.
And as far as another civil war goes, I fucking look forward to a Civil War II. This time, we actually patriotic Americans need to polish the anti-democratic, fascist traitors off. (We can blow the incredibly evil, treasonous state of Texas off of the fucking map for all that I care.)
We were way too merciful to the traitors the first time. It was a huge fucking mistake to allow them to continue to exist to continue to drag our nation down to this day. We should have fucking annihilated them when we had the chance. But maybe we’ll get another one.

*George W. Bush lost the popular vote in 2000 and Pussygrabber lost the popular vote in 2016. Neither was elected by an actual majority of the American voters, so both of them forever have been illegitimate “presidents” in my eyes. (And you can’t have a legitimate “re”-“election” if your first “election” was illegitimate.)
The anti-democratic Electoral College, in which the winner of the most votes can lose the White House, sorely needs to be abolished. If we want to call ourselves a democracy, then only individual voters — not land area — should determine our elections.
I was a little surprised to see today’s breaking news of Ron DeFascist’s exit from the 2024 Repugnican “presidential” race, but then I realized that he probably was just trying to avoid the embarrassment of coming in third in New Hampshire on Tuesday. (Fivethirtyeight.com right now puts the polling averages for the New Hampshire primary at 48.9 percent for Pussygrabber, 34.2 percent for Nimbra Haley and 5.2 percent for DeFuckface.)
What would tank DeFascist is his personality, which the majority of the voters intuitively are seeing, no matter how much DeFascist play-acts like he’s an actual human being and not just a meat puppet that an extraterrestrial enemy has commandeered for evil intent (can we rule that out, though?).
And I noted back then that “as long as Pussygrabber is not incapacitated and is not yet a convicted felon, DeFascist’s chances of winning the nomination are not good.”
To be clear, I always have viewed DeFascist as the most dangerous of the Repugnican presidential wannabes, because he has a soulless, reptilian, sociopathic demeanor.
While Pussygrabber always only ever has and only ever will be all about himself — a rank baby-boomer narcissist (redundant) — DeSadist is a true sociopath, who very apparently takes true pleasure in inflicting wholly unnecessary and uncalled-for pain and suffering on others.
And unlike Pussygrabber, who flits from one thing to another like a gnat on crack, I can see DeFuckface being methodical, like the fascists of yore, in carrying out his plans to bring pain and suffering on those he dislikes, which is everyone who doesn’t like him, and that’s at least about half of the nation. (Fivethirtyeight.com’s latest average favorability rating for DeFuckface among all Americans is only 31.7 percent favorable and 46.7 percent unfavorable, putting him under water by 15.1 percentage points.)
It’s possible that DeFuckface had figured that he couldn’t beat Pussygrabber in 2024, but that by running in the 2024 cycle he’d at least then set himself up for another run in 2028, but I don’t see what’s going to change between now and 2028 for DeFascist to do any better four years from now.
DeSadist introduced himself to the American voters, and they don’t fucking like him. In two words, what did him in was his personality. As fake as he was, trying to be likable, his nonverbal communication spoke the truth about his core, and even the dullest of Americans have caught that truth, at least subconsciously.
In the meantime, Pussygrabber is not, in my book, doing as well as he should be for someone supposedly so fucking beloved by the Repugnican Party.
I expect Pussygrabber to win New Hampshire — I don’t see that Haley has enough time to overcome the gap between her and Pussygrabber in New Hampshire (even if she got all of DeSadist’s supporters, whom DeFuckface the cuck has told to support Pussygrabber, that wouldn’t be enough, from what I can tell) — but, again, I expect Pussygrabber to win only about half of New Hampshire’s primary voters on Tuesday.
For all of the blather about what a strong candidate Pussygrabber is, I just don’t see getting only about half of the vote in Iowa and New Hampshire — when Pussygrabber already has been “president” — as a sign that Pussygrabber is a strong candidate.
Indeed, I think that Nimrada Haley has a much better chance of beating Sleepy Joe Biden than does Pussygrabber — Haley is just another evil Repugnican (redundant) to me (she won’t say that the Civil War was fought over slavery and she supports a federal abortion ban, for starters), but I totally can see the low-information/swing voters “thinking” of Haley, as they did of Pussygrabber back in 2016, Let’s give her a chance! What could go wrong? — but this late in the game, I don’t see Pussygrabber losing the nomination to Nimbra.
What I think is going to happen is that when the stark choice between Pussygrabber and Biden is made clear to the voters when they’re actually voting in the November general election — when it all becomes very real, as it’s time to actually cast that vote — enough voters will hold their noses, if they have to, and vote for Biden, the lesser of the two evils, to give Biden the win and prevent the torture of another four years of Pussygrabber perpetually on his period.
(I know that living in Nevada, a true swing state, I’ll most likely end up voting for Biden, as I don’t want to be part of having allowed a second Pussygrabber term in the White House.)
In fact, I’ll go ahead and predict what I think is the bare minimum of how well Biden will perform in his re-election:
I think that he’ll win at least 270 votes for the win, as shown by 270towin.com’s map below:
I don’t expect Biden to win as many states and electoral votes as he did in 2020, but I see him getting at least 270 electoral votes, as shown above.
I can’t see Biden winning Georgia and Arizona in 2024 as he did in 2020 (Arizona and Georgia were the two closest states in 2020), but I see him keeping the critical “blue wall” (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota). And I see my state of Nevada going either way, but even then, as long as Biden maintains the blue wall, he won’t need Nevada’s six electoral votes, as he’ll already have the necessary 270.
Whatever happens in November 2024, one thing is for sure: After this year, we’ll never have the “choice” of Biden or Pussygrabber on a presidential ballot ever again.
And I confidently predict that Ron DeFuckface never will be president.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has done a favor to the United States by forcing the U.S. Supreme Court to soon demonstrate once again that when faced between choosing the plain language of the U.S. Constitution and putting a Repugnican in the White House, the corrupt, treasonous U.S. Supreme Court will choose putting the Repugnican in the White House over the plain language of the U.S. Constitution every fucking time.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States … who, having previously taken an oath, as … an officer of the United States … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
Jesus fuck, Pussygrabber & Co. still give aid and comfort to the mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging criminals who perpetrated J6 when they refer to them as “political prisoners” and the like.
Meanwhile, it’s pathetic and sad that so many Americans claim to love their country so fucking much but are too ignorant of the workings of their own fucking government to understand the actual implications of Colorado and Maine having declared (Colorado via its state Supreme Court and Maine via its secretary of state) that the Fourteenth Amendment makes Pussygrabber ineligible to run for president ever again.
First off, Pussygrabber could be kicked off every blue state’s 2024 ballot and it wouldn’t change the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, since he couldn’t win a blue state anyway and since the Electoral College is a winner-takes-all system in which whichever presidential candidate who gets the most votes gets all of that state’s electoral votes, with the exceptions of only Maine and Nebraska, which divvy up their electoral votes by congressional district. Under the Electoral College, whichever candidate gets 270 or more electoral votes wins the presidency. (Nebraska and Maine, by the way, together have a total of only nine electoral votes.)
Only if the presidency were determined solely by the popular vote — as should be the case in a nation that calls itself a “democracy” (the antiquated, anti-democratic Electoral College, which put the loser of the popular vote into the White House in 2000 and in 2016, sorely needs to be abolished) — could it harm Pussygrabber to be removed from a blue state’s presidential ballot.
But moreover, no state’s Supreme Court or secretary of state is the last word on whether Pussygrabber may appear on that state’s ballot. Of course this will go to the United States Supreme Court, where the “justices,” one third of them imposed on us by Pussygrabber even though then-President Barack Obama treasonously was denied by traitor Yertle McConnell an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court in his last year in office, will have to pause corruptly taking expensive gifts and perks from their far-right-wing sugar daddies long enough to have to actually decide if the plain language of the U.S. Constitution actually means what it plainly says it means.
And, of course, I expect the U.S. Supreme Court’s “originalists” and “strict constructionists” to rule that of course the Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t mean what it plainly says when it comes to whether or not an insurrectionist, treasonous Repugnican presidential candidate may remain on the ballot.
Still, just because we have a dysfunctional, treasonous U.S. Supreme Court that is bought and paid for right-wing interests and that never can be depended upon to actually uphold the U.S. Constitution and support democracy doesn’t mean that the rest of us can’t call shit like it is, such as Colorado and Maine have done.
I think it’s great that the U.S. Supreme Court now has to actually fucking do its basic fucking job of interpreting the plain fucking language of the U.S. Constitution.
I fully expect the Repugnican-controlled U.S. Supreme Court to rule in Pussygrabber’s favor on whether the Fourteenth Amendment against insurrectionists being allowed to hold any state or federal office pertains to him — and to thus hasten the end of this illegitimate court’s rule.
If our democracy survives, we will have to thank true patriots like Shenna Bellows and the justices of the Colorado Supreme Court who ruled correctly on whether the Fourteenth Amendment — you know, the rule of law — applies to would-be fascist dictator Pussygrabber.
Der Führer Pussygrabber is telling us plainly what he’s all about, and he’s not kidding. Millions of lives would have been saved had Adolf Hitler been stopped, and we Americans have the opportunity to stop Pussygrabber now, without copious bloodshed. Whether we actually will take that opportunity or not remains to be seen.
The Colorado Supreme Court did the right thing, made the correct ruling, despite knowing that the corrupt, far-right-wing U.S. Supreme Court very most likely would — in bad faith and in order to achieve its own desired political outcome (as with the 2000 presidential election) — shoot it down.
Forcing the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that of course an anti-democratic, treasonous seditionist may run for president only will further demonstrate what an anti-democratic, corrupt, treasonous U.S. Supreme Court we have.
“You could say the ‘vermin’ remark or the ‘poisoning the blood’ remark, maybe one of them would be a coincidence,” Godwin said. “But both of them pretty much make it clear that there’s something thematic going on, and I can’t believe it’s accidental.”
That’s because it’s not accidental. Pussygrabber is a fucking fascist, a la Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, et al.
The only good fascist is a dead fucking fascist, and it just might have to come to that if we actually patriotic (that is, democracy- and rule-of-law-loving Americans) don’t act now, while we can, before things get out of control.
Bullying from Israel-first idiots like Repugnican U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik — whose top campaign contributor is the Israel-first lobby AIPAC and who received almost $100K from AIPAC to do its bidding in 2020 alone — isn’t going to help Israel’s “cause,” but only is going to inflame resentment over the fact that we Americans have become Israel’s little bitches who not only have to have our tax dollars siphoned off by Israel for its use in its genocide against the Palestinians, but who have to be subject to the new Israel-first Inquisition as to whether we’re sufficiently pro-Israel. Ironically, the bullying and authoritarian overreach that the Israel-firsters are practicing right now might create some actual antisemitism among the mostly bogus “antisemitism” that they claim to see everywhere.
It’s astounding to watch the Israel-firsters, who make no attempt to conceal their blatant bias in favor of Israel, act like Israel is the victim of genocide (or of those hoping for its genocide, anyway) when, in fact, in the latest conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis, the body count again, like fucking clockwork, has been ridiculously lopsided, with about 18,000 Palestinians to about 1,147 Israelis killed thus far.
And, of course, the Israelis intentionally are doing their best to destroy what’s left of Palestine to complete at least the expulsion, if not the genocide, of the Palestinians once and for all.
Yes, let’s talk about who is committing genocide and who are the victims of genocide!
Yes, I know, Hamas struck first on October 7, blah blah blah… The Israel-firsters remind us of that constantly, as though that justifies the indiscriminate mass slaughter of innocent Palenstinian civilians, including plenty of children, who have had nothing to do with Hamas.
Indeed, it’s nothing less than Judeofascist Benjamin Netanyahu’s attempt to commit genocide against the Palestinians, whom he has spent his entire miserable life hating and trying to destroy while pretending that Israel is the true victim.
So not only are we Americans who don’t have the sickness of putting any other nation’s well-being above our own required to keep Israel afloat with our tax dollars — which the Israelis then use to slaughter Palestinians in an apparent program of genocide while claiming to actually be the perma-victims themselves — when we sure could use our own tax dollars here at home.
No, we Americans aren’t only to be shaken down for Israel because the Israel-first lobby has bought and paid for our elected officials, but we are to be tarred and feathered if the Israel-firsters find us to be heretics. (You are “antisemitic” if you don’t want your nation to act in ways that are not in its own best interests — but arein Israel’s best interests as the power elite see it, you see.)
This bullshit must end.
And it will, because Israel and the Israel-firsters are vastly overreaching, so much so that Israel’s gravy train just might derail more quickly than anyone would have guessed it might.
Before October 7, people already were waking up to the bullshit lopsidedness in how the United States has treated Israel in favor of Palestine. Now, support for Palestine within the United States is growing even more. People see the insane Palestinian civilian body counts and they figure, sanely, that they want their nation to no longer to continue to enable this genocidal bullshit perpetrated by Israel as Israel claims to actually be the victim.
As I have noted before, as an atheist, I have no God dog in this race. I don’t give a fuck if you are a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian; if you believe in God, I think you’re pathetically mistaken; minimally, while I recognize your right to religion, I have to question your IQ.
But, unlike the religious, I actually care about human life (ironic, no?), and I deeply resent (1) having to fund Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians with my fucking tax dollars and (2) the fact that the United States’ incredibly poor handling of the latest Palestinian-Israeli conflict — replete with vetoing a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza that the vast majority of the members of the United Nations’ Security Council want — is going to make the United States a prime target for future terrorist attacks (all so that our corrupt elected officials, like Elise Stefanik, can continue to receive their bribes from AIPAC and so that Bibi Netanyahu can continue to live quite comfortably).
I not at all am antisemitic (although I fully recognize that my having proclaimed that, of course, in the kangaroo-court world of the “woke,” could only mean that I am); most antisemites believe in God and largely if not primarily hate the Jews because they believe that the Jews have the whole God (and/or Jesus) thing all wrong.
Again, as an atheist, I can be much more objective about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict than those who have a God dog in the race.
I just watched a PBS documentary on the history of the world’s Jews, and theirs is an interesting history and culture. Being an atheist, Judaism isn’t for me — nor is Islam or what passes for “Christianity” here in the United States — but, unlike the Israel-firsters who are not at all troubled by any insanely high Palestinian civilian body count, I’m fully on board with the philosophy of live and let live.
Therefore, I cannot and will not get on board with genocide perversely ironically perpetrated by those who once were the victims of genocide but who now perversely practice it themselves, perversely claiming that their own “victimization” is their “justification” for it.
Repugnican former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney is sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives in January 2017 as her war criminal father looks on in a photo that she uses on the back of her new book, which as I type this sentence is No. 1 on amazon.com’s best-seller list.Wholly unsurprisingly, Liz is now talking about possibly running for president, which is what she has wanted all along.
It is a sad sign of our times that so many consider Repugnican former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney to be a fucking hero not for actually having done anything heroic, but for simply not being a shameless fucking cowardly fascist like the vast majority of her Repugnican counterparts are.
On the back of her new book — what’s anything if you can’t get a book deal out of it? — is a picture of Liz with her war criminal father, Dick Cheney; it’s a photo of him “by her side” during her swearing in to the House of Representatives in January 2017.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m glad that the House’s January 6 committee did its thing. I watched all of its publicly broadcast hearings.
But, again, the J6 hearings weren’t courageous — it was the House of Representatives actually doing its fucking job. Let’s not lose focus regarding that, because once we make the bare fucking minimum “heroic” and “above and beyond,” we’re above and beyond fucking screwed.
I’ve long wondered how much Liz Cheney has truly cared about the survival of our democracy against these “Stop the Steal” hypocrites and traitors who are crying “election fraud!” while(of course!) trying to perpetrate election fraud themselves — and how much Liz Cheney has just been pissed off that, being the daughter of a Repugnican-Classic former “vice president,” she’s had her eye on the White House for herself for a very long time, and this upstart Pussygrabberianism unexpectedly has stood in her way, blocking her path to the Oval Office as a Repugnican Classic.
I don’t think that Liz is as selfless in all of this as she paints herself to be. Indeed, she still apparently has her eye on the Oval Office.
Liz Cheney, one of the most vociferous critics of Donald Trump in the Republican Party, says she is weighing whether to mount her own third-party candidacy for the White House, as she vows to do “whatever it takes” to prevent the former president from returning to office.
While promoting her new book Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, the former Wyoming congresswoman — who was defeated by a Trump loyalist last year — is warning that Trump could transform America’s democracy into a dictatorship if he is re-elected, anticipating, she said, that he would attempt to stay longer than his term.
“Several years ago, I would not have contemplated a third-party run,” Cheney said in a Monday interview with The Washington Post. But, she said, “I happen to think democracy is at risk at home, obviously, as a result of Donald Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, and I think democracy is at risk internationally as well.” …
No, several years ago Liz Cheney did not contemplate a third-party run; she contemplated running for president on the Repugnican Party ticket. But hers and other non-Pussygrabberian Repugnicans’ presidential aspirations were fairly destroyed with Pussygrabberianism having taken over the Repugnican Party, which I don’t see ever recovering from the fascist virus that has infected it.
Liz has the right to run for president, as does anyone who meets the constitutional qualifications for running for president, but can and should are two different things.
Indeed, more Americans are plotting third-party or independent presidential runs in 2024 than those who aren’t.
I long have hated voting for the Democratic candidate primarily because the Repugnican candidate is even worse. For example, I held my nose and voted for DINO U.S. Sen. Catherine Corporate Whore Cortez Masto here in Nevada in November 2022 not because I have any love for her, but because her Repugnican opponent, Asshat Laxalt (who recently left the super PAC that he’d headed for his buddy and former roommate Ron DeFascist), is even worse, and elections here in Nevada can be super-close. (Indeed, in November 2022 Cortez Masto won re-election against Asshat by not even one full percentage point.)
Similarly, while I’m not big on Joe Biden — I didn’t vote for him in 2020, when I lived in California, but voted for the Green Party presidential candidate instead, because I knew that Biden would win California and all of its electoral votes no matter how I voted or whether I even voted for president at all — I very most likely will cast my vote for Biden in November 2024 because, now living in Nevada, I no longer have the luxury of being able to vote for a third-party or independent candidate without very potentially helping the Repugnican candidate (in this case, very most likely Pussygrabber) to win.
So I’m hard-pressed to see how Pussygrabber does even better in November 2024 than he did in November 2020.
Indeed, I think that his support has topped out already.
The wild card in the 2024 presidential election, I think, is how many third-party and independent presidential candidates actually make it to the ballot, and in which states. (Saying that you’re running for president and actually getting on the ballot in a good number of states are two different things.)
Indeed, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bullshit presidential run appears pretty over to me; once he decided to run as an “independent” instead of as a Democrat, it’s been crickets in terms of what you hear of his “presidential” “campaign” these days. (Being an anti-vax fucktard is not a “presidential” “campaign.”)
A vote for West indeed would be a vote for Pussygrabber. That’s not hyperbole; that’s math, which the “woke” fucktards (redundant) don’t get (math is “racist,” after all).
Jill Stein probably will run again on the Green Party ticket, and I voted for her as a protest vote in 2012 and in 2016, when I still lived in California and so voting for her wouldn’t have affected the outcome of the presidential election (California, being deep blue, always is going to go to the Democractic presidential candidate).
RFK Jr., if he actually gets on many states’ ballots — he might tire of his whole narcissistic charade before then — probably, I think,would take more votes from Pussygrabber than from Biden, given that most of the knuckle-dragging anti-vax mouth-breathers are Pussygrabberians.
And Liz Cheney, I think, were she to stupidly and egotistically run for president like just about everyone else is right now, hopefully would siphon more votes from Pussygrabber than from Biden, but with all of these people stupidly thinking that Liz Cheney is some fucking hero just for being against instead of for fascist evil — as everyone fucking should be — it’s possible, I suppose, that should she manage to get on enough states’ ballots she’d help Pussygrabber in at least some states.
In the end, I think that what we’re probably going to see as the next several months unfold is that (1) Pussygrabber has hit his ceiling of support already — which, again, is not even a full 47 percent (still way too high for a wannabe fascist dictator in the United States of America, admittedly) — and that (2) most of those who aren’t big on Biden (I’m among them) and who are flirting with supporting a third-party or independent presidential candidate (I am not among them) ultimately are going to vote for Biden in the 2024 presidential election, even if they have to hold their noses to do so (as I will).
Again, I don’t like feeling that my vote for any Democratic candidate basically is induced by a gun (loaded with a Repugnican bullet) pointed at my head because the Repugnican candidate is so much worse than is the Democrat, but Pussygrabber, like the world-famous fascists before him, is an exceptional exception.
To fend off Pussygrabber’s repeatedly promised facism, we can hold our noses (if need be) and vote for Biden, or here at home we can fight something like the Spanish Civil War, when Spain’s fascists treasonously overthrew the democratically elected left-wing government because like the fascists here at home today, Spain’s fascists then honored democracy only when they won the election.
Granted, we might end up in a civil war anyway (probably not, but it’s not impossible, it seems to me), but still, the easier course of action, I believe, is to vote for Biden.
The 77-year-old Pussygrabber, of course, will die one day — the sooner, the better. (Should Pussygrabber actually become the dictator that he wants to be, I believe that his assassination would be entirely called for. I won’t be bashful in saying that. All fascist dictators deserve the death penalty.Many lives would have been saved had the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and Pinochet been neutralized when they fucking should have been.)
Pussygrabber aside — again, he has far fewer years ahead of him than he has behind him, thank Goddess — fascism has a way of rearing its ugly head over and over again, and we must cut off its head whenever and however it emerges yet once again. History makes this clear.
In the meantime, we must not lower our standards to the point that someone like war criminal spawn Liz Cheney — who has yet to disavow her father’s blatant war crimes — is considered heroic, even a savior of our democracy.
Given that Liz has yet to take issue with her father’s war crimes, as president she’d probably be just like he was, and a choice between the likes of Pussygrabber and Dick Cheney 2.0 is no real choice at all.
Palestinians inspect the rubble of a mosque in a refugee camp in Gaza City that Israel obliterated on Monday, part of Israel’s retaliation for a shocking surprise attack that Hamas launched on Israel on Saturday. More than a thousand people have died thus far on both sides in this latest bloody conflict.
This is an obligatory post about the latest battle between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
I don’t condone the killing and the maiming and any actual atrocities in Palestine and Israel, and The New York Times’ latest body count as I type this sentence is around 1,200 Israelis and 1,100 Palestinians, which surprises me, because usually the body count is insanely lopsided, with many more Palestinians killed than Israelis. (Of course, Israel still has plenty of time to slaughter far more Palestinians than the number of Israelis slaughtered by the Palestinians.)
The Washington Post reports that at least 22 Americans have been killed in Israel, which is unusual; I don’t remember that many Americans ever having been killed in a Palestinian uprising during my lifetime, but then again, this was, by all reports, a surprise attack on Israel by Hamas. Apparently it was business as usual in Israel when Hamas launched its attack.
American lives aren’t more important than are any other lives, but, of course, whenever even one American is killed anywhere else on the planet, we Americans go up in arms, because we’re stupid fucking Americans and thus believe that the sun rises and sets on our “exceptional” asses.
My main concern about the number of American deaths is that our evil (Repugnican) and spineless (Democratic) politicians (most of them on the take, such as with AIPAC) will cave in to the political pressure (largely if not mostly from AIPAC) to help the sanctimonious Israel make the Palestinians’ already-awful lives even worse.
Believe it or not, I actually have little stomach to engage vociferously in the Israeli-vs.-Palestinian debate, most of which is governed by idiots’ backasswards religious beliefs, with right-wing “Christians” supporting Israel only because they believe that Israel plays a vital role in the supposed “End Times” (most of them, in fact, believe that Jews are going to hell, since Jews don’t believe in Jeebus the magical magician).
It’s not that I don’t think that I could win the Palestinian-Israeli debate based upon the facts, but it’s that the vast majority of those who have sided with one side over the other — predominantly with Israel, here in the Judeo-“Christian” United States — don’t approach the issue with facts, but have taken a stance on the issue based upon their identity (“Christian” or Jewish, mostly), and where it comes to identity issues, you can’t use logic, facts and reason to free people from their delusions. Identitarians, who don’t use logic, facts, reason, fairness, etc., never fucking budge.
Again, I don’t approach the Palestinian-Israeli mess from a religious or religious-identity standpoint, but from the standpoint of fairness/even-handedness, which the United States still isn’t showing in the Israeli-Palestinian mess (the soft-terrorist organization AIPAC will target any politician who doesn’t kiss Israel’s ass sufficiently), and I hate to see any human being maimed or killed, much more the thousands of them that we’re seeing maimed and killed in Palestine and Israel right now.
I’m more concerned about the bloodshed than I am about anything else, even including the usually fruitless argument as to who’s to blame.
(Yes, Hamas struck first in this current case, but we need to really examine closely how the Israelis have been treating the Palestinians for decades now, and not stupidly and/or intellectually dishonestly strip individual events from their long-running context. To a large degree, the Israelis, incredibly ironically, have been treating the Palestinians like the Nazis treated Jews, even keeping them trapped within ghettos in an apparent program of genocide. And we Americans fund this. [Of course, the Nazis looked up to us Americans after we committed genocide against the Native Americans in “Manifest Destiny.”])
Of course pro-Israel propaganda, including fake and repurposed images and false accounts of atrocities (not that there have been no atrocities at all), is flooding the zone in order to “further” “make” Israel’s “case.” Right-wingers, including, of course, the Israeli and Jewish wingnuts, have no interest in the truth; they are interested only in trying to achieve the political outcomes that they desire. They already have the upper hand over the Palestinians — with the United States in their pocket, they have had the upper hand for many decades now — but they always are seeking an even stronger upper hand, with Americans’ tax dollars paying for it.
I’ll say this, though: If everyone on the planet were an atheist, we wouldn’t have these bullshit “holy” wars. (We’d find other things to hate each other for…)
