There will be a special place in hell for Marjorie Taylor Greene

Absolutely vile. Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd in a modern day lynching— it was chilling and intentional.

75 million Americans thought this idiot should remain President

Another Karen comes home

Another rich white woman gets her racist on
Atlanta Dream co-owner and current U.S. Senator from Georgia Kelly Loeffler this week sent a letter to the WNBA League Office demanding that players not wear messages supporting Black Lives Matter on their warm-up jerseys as sports needs less politics and it "sends a message of exclusion."

Exclusion of who--racists?  Shouldn't that be a net (pun intended) positive?

Get used to this--republicans fear that this fall could not be a blue wave but a blue tsunami and they are going to do everything they can to rile up the racist white folks to get out to vote to save their Senate majority.

It's not too much politics in sports that Loeffler is whining about--she just wants it to be white supremacist politics in sports.

Racist much, Mitch?

Everything you need to know about Mitch McConnell
Take a good look at that photo above--as Mitch McConnell twice today told Black Americans that he doesn't give any more of a shit about them than does his boss dumbfuck Donald Trump (Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono nailed the republican police reform bill when she called it "half-assed") it's important to note that he hasn't just been on the wrong side of history of late, he's always been on the wrong side of history.

Anyone proud of a heritage that enslaved their fellow human beings...isn't a human being.

Happy Juneteenth!

Hopefully Trump will be our last racist President
Talk about your crocodile tears--today the White House posted a message in which Donald Trump and his wife acknowledged those celebrating Juneteenth...only to follow it up later in the day with vile and violent threats to any of those who might choose to protest his Maggot rally in Tulsa tomorrow in support of reforms in light of the George Floyd murder.

Can't have it both ways, Skippy--you can't kiss their ass in the morning and then stab them in the heart at night.  Either you're with black Americans protesting police violence or you're not.

Sops to your racist base just won't cut it anymore.

Monster, Inc.


Over the past week I've seen the above video posted a few times and I have to admit that it has pulled at my heartstrings a wee bit.  But what gets me the most about it is that a cartoon Frankenstein (albeit a very cool cartoon Frankenstein) can get our humanity right, but that Donald Trump can't, and frankly doesn't come close, or even try for that matter.

I have no idea how much money a TV writer makes, but you'd think the salary and prestige of being the President's speechwriter would enable the Trump administration to hire someone to put word's into the orange shit gibbon's mouth that make him sound somewhat as compassionate as Herman Munster, and not like, well...Hitler.  For Christ's sake, at least during an election year.

Of course, that's assuming that anyone in the White House actually gives a shit about ordinary Americans.

Which, come to think of it, if you aren't white and male probably isn't the case.

Clinton Losing in 2016 Derangement Syndrome

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you
My first thought, upon hearing that Donald Trump was going to make a speech to America on race, was, "What if, by some miracle, he makes a great speech that goes down in American history like Lincoln's Gettysburg Address?"  After about thirty seconds it dawned on me that this was the equivalent of me thinking, "You know, if I wake up tomorrow and can throw a baseball 100 mph I could be in the major leagues...."  At the age of sixty-one, it's a good day if my first step out of bed only results in a modicum of pain for my entire body, let alone throwing an orb hard enough to break a brick.

Believe you me, the November elections cannot arrive soon enough.  Not only to send Trump packing, but to give me hope that I can keep my sanity intact for the remainder of my days.

Something, anything

A true American patriot

In the wake of Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL, apologizing to players in lieu of Patrick Mahomes powerful video questioning the NFL on its policies toward protests against racism, Donald Trump decided to send a tweet Sunday night questioning whether or not the NFL would backtrack on its policy against kneeling.  Considering that Trump's approval numbers are plummeting and he's losing badly to Joe Biden, this is little more than Trump trying to find anything that will help him with his racist base and prop up his numbers at least a little.  He hopes that blaming the black folks for disrespecting the flag and our country will lead him to another victory come November.

Good luck with that--my guess is this fall we're going to see a whole hell of a lot more players than we did last time taking a knee.  And that many of them will be among the most high profile players in the league.  With approval for Black Lives Matter easily outdistancing Trump's approval for the job he's doing, it's hard to see that Trump's tweets this fall won't fall on mostly deaf ears and will only add fuel to the fire for those of us who would crawl over broken glass to send his ass back home this November.

But by all means, please proceed.

Everything to lose

Trump has a lot more in common with these folks than black Americans

This past weekend, Mercedes Schlapp, a senior adviser for the Trump campaign, tweeted approvingly (since deleted) a video of some racist redneck threatening those peacefully protesting the death of George Floyd with a chainsaw, during which he makes clear use of the "n" word.

It's a useful reminder for those black Americans who might be thinking of taking Donald Trump's word when he asks them what they have to lose by supporting him.

In a word, everything.

Not a Saint

Doesn't he have an agent or a publicist to check his public statements?
If there is any good that can come out of Drew Brees and his exceedingly insensitive and untimely comments on players taking a knee for the National Anthem, it's that maybe we can finally put an end to the tired trope that players doing such are being disrespectful of the flag or our troops.  Athletes taking a knee was never about the flag or our troops, and it was always about protesting police brutality.

Disrespecting the flag or our troops was never more than a right wing talking point so they could excuse police brutality and let their white privilege continue unabated.

One way to do it

Good news from Ferguson!
Ferguson, Missouri has been back in the news the last few days because of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis resemblance to the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson in 2014 (at least insofar as they were two black men murdered by two white men because white men basically can).  But Ferguson is in the news for a much better reason today:  yesterday the city elected Ella Jones as its first ever black mayor.

The simplest and surest way to assure that black Americans have a seat at the table is to elect black Americans so they can be guaranteed to have a seat at the table.  There is most assuredly a long way to go to achieve as many seats as will be necessary, but the results in Ferguson yesterday are an excellent start.

Putin's bitch slapped baby

Vladdie and Donnie, now on tour...
So...after a weekend in which Donald Trump hides in the dark in the White House Bunker from protesters carrying, um, water bottles, Trump gets a call from Vladimir Putin and decides to have a conference call with all fifty governors in which he tells them that said governors of all fifty states need to suddenly turn into Gen. George Patton and repel the peaceful protesters with the utmost force post haste.

Trump himself doesn't have the time, mind you, because old blood and guts needs to walk across the street from the White House and hold up a bible in front of a church that teaches its parishioners to be everything that Trump is not, to prove, I suppose, that he's too stupid to read because it turns out he's holding the bible upside fucking down for his photo op.

There will be history books written for generations trying to explain how Americans could have ever elected such a buffoon, whose incompetence literally knows no bounds.

Inexcusable

I'm never going back...
I'm not really sure why the attached video of police in Louisville, Kentucky bothers me as much as it does--I mean, it's not as if I haven't seen a nine year old pepper sprayed or the White House tear gas peaceful protesters so Donald Trump could have a photo op over the past few days. 

In the video, two white nationalists (I'm guessing) are seen (they're both gutless enough to wear masks, though not smart enough to hide their license plate) taking water and other liquids that have been set aside for protesters and either throwing it into the back of their pickup truck or just breaking it on the pavement.  The part that kills me, though, is that as people begin to get closer to the two racist pieces of shit to take photos that call them out for their cowardice, the Louisville police rush over to cut them off so they cannot take photos.  Note there was no one--absolutely no one--who was threatening these two men in any way (well, unless you count showing the two to be gutless cowards).

Two days ago I would have told you that Louisville was a nice city I visited once when my first wife and I were still dating, where we had a wonderful day and ate lunch at the best Mexican restaurant I've eaten at since my family left California.  But today, and for the rest of my life, what will be embedded in my memory is the Louisville police abetting racism.

And I can guarantee you that neither me, nor anyone in my family, will ever visit that city again.

I'm trying real hard

That finger is white for a reason...
...to understand why it is that white men carrying guns are allowed to angrily scream in the face of police officers because they can't get a haircut whilst the officers show the utmost in restraint, but the minute people of color protest the murder of a black man for forgery, the vast majority of them peacefully, but a couple of jackasses break a few windows and the police feel the need to blast all of them with tear gas.

Though I think we all know why.

Colin Kaepernick weighed in today with probably the most succinct analysis of where these state sanctioned murders of African Americans would all lead...and he's probably right that in the face of this violence cries for peace will eventually fall on deaf ears. 

And one can assume that it most certainly won't have a happy ending for either the police or a hell of a lot of those white folks screaming about their freedom to have a Bud Light in a bar.

Can't stop my wondering

Justice is supposed to be color blind, isn't it?

You know all those folks who have been protesting Stay at Home Directives over the past few weeks and screaming about the U.S. Constitution and their right to get a haircut?

For all their concern about the Constitution, why the heck do you suppose they weren't protesting in Minnesota this week?  I mean George Floyd didn't get his Sixth Amendment rights to a speedy trial before an impartial jury before he was executed by the Minneapolis police, so you'd think they'd be up there with their guns screaming in the streets about our Constitutional rights, wouldn't you?  Hell, isn't a human life worth at least a little more than free refills for your iced tea?

Wonder if they would have showed up if George Floyd had been white....

Fuck Donald Trump,

This is...why



Do you ever wonder after events such as the Minneapolis police murdering George Floyd this week if Colin Kaepernick wants to run to his front window, throw it open, and scream to the world, "Fucking told you!"
