Went to a No Kings protest today. Turnout was about 1500, which is pretty good for my podunk little town.

Only had a couple yahoos shouting obscenities at us from their cars. I pointed and laughed at them.

Fun stuff.

The Department of Health and Human Services will announce that lead deficiency in children is a leading cause of mental disease of liberalism.

Chewable lead supplements will be made in the shape of popular cartoon characters.

Hey Cain, do you think that Qatar bribing our president with a $400 million airplane is good news for Palestine?

Thanks.

Anything interesting I have to say is best kept to myself.

I honestly hope they deny aid to California, because Newsom has suggested that doing so would lead to California denying the fed payment of taxes.  I'd definitely like to see California keep that money and use it to fight fires.

How would that work?

Does the state government of California pay taxes to the federal government?

There's no way they could make the citizens of the state pay their federal income tax to the state and then... I'm not even sure what the next stage of that plan would be. Arresting federal agents attempting to collect taxes?

I have decided to believe that the movie Falling Down is just a ripoff of the movie Thelma and Louise but written for "Sigma Males".

Somehow, Peter Tiel's company Palantir seems to be unaffected by this.

I, for one, would like too see the maximum positive outcome from this event.

I don't see the need for any further loss of life from either the bourgeoisie (including the petit bourgeoisie (who was the recipient of this latest action)) or the proletariat (that's YUO!)

The Left and right are having a bit of a kumbaya moment right now over the killing of that healthcare CEO.

[very interesting.]

I find all of this very logical and sensible.

If it turns out not to be an issue, I think that, in and of itself, is very interesting.

Trumpism is probably going to outlive The guy himself. He's not going to be around that much longer, but there will probably be some people who will carry on some kind of continuity. If he had soundly lost this election, the odds would have been much better that that would have been, for the most part, the end of it.

But not now. This was our last chance to stamp it out for good and we blew it.

I expect we'll see a bunch of Jan 6 insurrectionists in congress within a few years.

If the stock market starts to take a shit at any time during the incoming administration, I'll be reminding Trumpers that loyal patriots have Diamond Hands right after I set my 401k to Stable Value 100%.

At this point, I just want this to hurt them more than it hurts us.

I'm expecting Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) to just be a series of pumps and dumps for the next 4 years and possibly beyond. He sold the hotel, so it seems to be the main avenue for people to curry his favor, financially.

In fact, I'd say that is probably the sole purpose for its existence.

I also expect certain members of the administration (Musk) to be actively manipulating crypto in a similar fashion.

It really looks like the education system is moving away from public schools and more towards vouchers, which currently means the religious right get to have their indoctrination subsidized and public schools are even more underfunded while also being under the thumb of christian nationalist legislators.

I guess somebody needs to start more left leaning private education institutions that teach shit like civics, empathy, and media literacy (woke shit).
