He’s a sexual abuser of whole countries. Attack them, throw them down the stairs, pick them up, buy a pretty dress and prop them up, kick them against, slap them, threaten to
kill them, hand them money and pretty baubles, more kicks to the face. The cycle goes on because the source is the same.

Will see if Pam Bondi can generate any allies through the kind of unique “mea culpa” that claims to uphold moral limits to how corrupt she’s willing to go - and obviously not being able to lie, dissemble and cover up quite enough to please her mob boss.

Nice escape reading of the newest translation of Beowulf - reading it for my book group, now in year 17 of monthly meetings. Book goes best when read out loud.

Or that incomprehensible

So proud of living in deep blue Connecticut

Fabulous news, keep up the heroic work. West Texas is next.

We attended a multi-denominational candlelight vigil last night for Minneapolis. At one point during the music and speeches it dawned upon me. This is Our Nazi Moment. We are now where Germany was in 1933-34. There is no more imagining. This fight, this reclaim of our basic rights, is real.

Amazing, but not surprising, that among all the boot-licking, ass-kissing cabinet members, not a single one of them has the guts to stand up and say what they all know, that’s he’s a deranged, blithering maniac and that it’s time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Lessons from the recent political news. When you are shit-brained incompetent and crooked, it catches up with you.

Disgusting. FIFA, the most grifting sports organization in the world, in bed with Trump’s cult of corrupt personal fealty.

The stress of constant lying and thievery takes its toll on the body and soul, even upon those who are shameless.

Here’s a good Republican campaign strategy: demolish the East Wing to build a privately funded banquet hall, cancel SNAP benefits, shutdown government, raise ACA rates on 24 m. Americans, reduce airplane schedules on eve of holiday season, pretend tariffs are not taxes, terrorize citizens via ICE.

Would be great to see 200-300 officers stand up in defiance today, refuse the bait, walk out of the proceedings and resign their posts in protest at this effort to promote a personal military arm for Trump’s fascist mobilization. This meeting is a moment in our history, a crucial one.

Comedians today are the German Jews of 1933-34.

It’s also known as lynching, and no doubt they’d approve that, too.

My favorite version of this is that more people work in the US health insurance business intent on denying you the coverage you’ve paid for - than work in delivering health care.

Subtle forms of protest persist!

Let us know when the protest chanting starts so that those of us who never watch tennis can watch

Sorry, but “banality of evil” is a ridiculous phrase that is not worth parsing and creates more unnecessary confusion than it creates clarity.

We’re very close to the same position.

I think either I’m not fully clear or you are misunderstanding me. I’m against all censorship, by anyone.

You’re needlessly opening a Pandora’s box of liberal institutionalism. Always a mistake.

I propose a revised rule. No parent may propose removing or censuring a book. End of rule. Rule also to apply to non-parents.

You’ll be sure to hear. I’m wishing as well.

The Bolton investigation is a disaster for all of democracy, a harbinger of crackdown and lawless political
invasion to come

We are on to them. Their entire plan is based on lies; they are water pigs, noise makers, a sore eyes presence.

We are organizing against it here in Bloomfield, CT

Among the many traits of authoritarianism is an absence of a sense of humor.

Overwhelm, exhaust, frustrate, depress, discontinuous chaos from all directions. Superficial randomness designed to mask an authoritarian strategy of reducing citizens to docile, numb followers.

Sounds familiar, as is evident everyday in the news as a deliberate strategy
