Meanwhile, there’s a 100-0 chance of repercussions for women, transgender people, non-white people, and poor people, who will also be happy to hear new ideas and new pitches from the Democratic Party.
I had to stop reading, put my hands together and clap out loud about halfway through your post. I'll read the rest in a minute, but when you mentioned the protests today, I just had to take a mental bow for participating. Thing is, it was in Pittsburgh. Our state capitol is in Harrisburg. The crowd stretched three or four wide x three blocks long, and was still growing when I had to leave, with two hours yet to go. We had arrived at the Federal Building and were happilly chanting 'Elon is a Jagoff' (look it up) when I noticed that my 76 year old left hip joint was beginning to freeze in the @ 10 degree weather. People were still joining when I swam back upstream to the light rail for the trip home. WIsh I could include the fun (IMO) placards and faces young and old out there speaking out. LOVED IT. More, maybe, tomorrow on the billionaire class. I read some tres kuul stuff about them from Ro Khanna I'd like to give a call out for.
Jonathan, I love your fearless metaphor mashup. I thank Jesus, crying into His wine right now, that we are lucky enough to have you as our spokesperson. They are only rich. We are right.
I guess they haven’t been paying attention to all the Russian oligarchs that appeased Putin but still ended up falling out of windows. Nothing special about these people just because they’re rich. They’re as stupid as any poor person.
Big laughy cry reacts here: “Then, on Inauguration Day, Skoll had what he called “an adventure of a lifetime” — which is every adventure unless you believe in zombies you fucking money-addled spatula — assisting with the festivities, meeting Trump (“sharp as a tack” according to the high standards of a cliche-spewing, money-addled spatula), and ensuring that celebrants at the Capital One Center were treated with the “care, food and much welcomed warmth” that they would soon get to work denying to poor people.”
First, February 17 in NOT Washington's birthday. He was born on February 22nd. This is simply President's Day, which was invented by Congress to give federal employees and other workers whose bosses believe in holidays a new day weekend. Look it up.
Second, the Trump Cult doesn't care about poor people freezing because they are firmly convinced they have seen concrete evidence of the massive level of fraud their knight commander of DoGE is uncovering. They can't say where, exactly, they've seen it, but they have; and anyway all those lazy bureaucrats will have plenty of jobs to choose from next week when their hero and avenging angel Donald has restored the US to a manufacturing behemoth.
All of which is to say follow that link to 50501 and get busy, because the Donald and Elon Fan Club membership is so deep in denial talking reality to them is wasted effort until reality finally saturates their brains. We're looking at the devastation wrought by 45 years of programming in the name of Education Reform™ in full bloom.
LOL, I got yelled at (correctly!) about President's Day/Washington's Birthday when I mentioned it on Friday. Technically, the federal holiday designated as Washington's Birthday is celebrated on the third Monday of every February. It is known informally -- and officially by some non-federal entities -- as Presidents Day. Congress has never changed the federal holiday name, however, from Washington's Birthday.

More importantly: Saving the future of the republic, so, yeah, let's get busy!
No argument here, but since one of my hobbyhorses (points to those who understand the reference) is the appalling damage done to the population by 45 years of the Rockefeller curriculum in public education, I think it also matters to make sure people know facts, however insignificant they might seem. Besides, George of all people deserves to be recognized on his actual birthday, IMO.
And speaking of the honorees of President’s Day: “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” — Abraham Lincoln
I benefitted from Russia's "goading" us into educating the children. In 8th and 9th grades I took School Mathemetics Study Group (SMSG), from cheaply printed books written at Ball State University, up the road from me in Muncie, Indiana - David Letterman's alma mater. And I took AP chem and physics, too. Thanks Nikita Khrushchev!
And then, beginning in 1981, that curriculum developed by John Dewey to create a population of informed voters was replaced with the one developed at the behest of John. D. Rockefeller Sr. designed to create a population of obedient workers satisfied to have only enough knowledge to allow them to perform their jobs effectively. It worked.
Our foreign policy lacks adult leadership. The world is dumbfounded by your dummies going abroad. At least our leaders are not yet shooting our citizens, but they will crack skulls and shoot us. We need to be ready for that fork in the road. https://bit.ly/4b5wkL4
I think he seriously believes he doesn’t have to run, that by 2028 the Constitution will be history and he will be dictator. We need to be on this a lot more.
I don't think he's capable of understanding how far his dementia has gone, which is common for those with dementia. He can't fathom the idea he might not even be alive by 2028. That said, there's even more we need to focus on, and that's imo what the tech bro oligarchs are up to. Start by Googling "Butterfly Revolution Musk" and you'll see some journalists are starting on that subject. Trump alone is not the real problem. To these guys he's a puppet. Find the puppet masters.
Are you implying Kennedy is responsible for the measles outbreak? Also are you implying he is against the measles vaccine?

Leigh, from one Yinzer to another, THANK YOU.

THERE'S my next protest sign: YOU MIGHT BE RICH BUT WE'RE RIGHT! Ty!!

Are you ever on Spoutible? I’m usually there, will say hi if you’re active.
I am! Link at the bottom of every TFN…
You may pick up a few followers there.

Put all your eggs in one basket. So you can drop the basket. They're all rotten anyway.
Have you SEEN the price of eggs...? #PoliticalDadJoke #Sorry/NotSorry...

Then I majored in English in college. Go figure.

Do you know who the Dem consultants were who had canvassers knock on doors of GOP-leaning voters instead of identifying & mobilizing supporters for GOTV? Before we knew the result, it seemed to be a failing strategy. As a lowly organizer, I assumed the data crunchers knew something I didn’t. I wrote about the experience on my Substack. https://open.substack.com/pub/margaretschankler/p/close-encounters-with-the-disinformed?r=biws&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
No such thing as a "good" billionaire - you don't get there by being good or nice.

Take a day off! I’m going to hold a sign at the federal building. Gotta start somewhere.
Me too! In Hawaii.
Let's Beat the Fucking Shit Out of the Billionaires and Take All Their Wealth.
And batter-fry them.
Trump knows he can't run for office again anyway, so he doesn't even have to pretend to give a shit about his marks anymore.
I think he seriously believes he doesn’t have to run, that by 2028 the Constitution will be history and he will be dictator. We need to be on this a lot more.
