The orange pile of fascist goo was sworn in as president of what prior to today was called the United States of America.
Well… I guess we had a decent 240+ year run.
The next course of action is to start supporting Democratic candidates in Republican held districts so that we can take back the Congress in the mid-term election. That’s our only hope in stopping the fascist pricks from completing their take over.
The Fascist States of America?
The United States of Fascism?
The United Fascist States of America?
A government of the white male (not any female, minority, immigrant, non-Christian, or non-heterosexual), by the white male (not any female, minority, immigrant, non-Christian, or non-heterosexual), and for the white male (not any female, minority, immigrant, non-Christian, or non-heterosexual).
I hate myself for this, but I called it. I sat on my couch late at night, watching the Brexit results coming in, and seeing the responses of the people in the United Kingdom, and watching their economy self destruct in one night, and I said that if they could vote against their own interests in such a colossally stupid way, then the United States would do exactly the same thing and elect Trump.
All through the months of the campaign when I was supporting Clinton full blast, including donating to her campaign (I’d never given money to a candidate before), I knew deep down that she would lose. I would lose. My family and friends and all the people I care about would lose. I knew in my heart that the Fascist fucker was going to win, and oh look he won.
Today is a great day for racism, sexism, homophobia, nationalism, isolationism, perverted Christian evangelism, and hate, and it is also a crushing defeat for America.
Well, I did it.
The early voting poles opened up at 8am. I walked into the side entrance of the Methuen police department at about 8:01. Some towns have lines in the morning, so I didn’t want to risk being late for work. I had nothing to worry about.
You walk in, give your name, they look you up on a little tablet computer thingie… and if you’re me, the send you over to the inactive register table because apparently I never sent in my f*****g city census (mother f*****g city census), so I had to give an ID. Normal people do not need to show an ID. There are signs all over the place saying you don’t need to show your ID. The dude behind me in line? Walked in and without being asked handed over his ID. Insert the sound of an exasperated sigh right here.
So now I am back on the active voter list (grrrrrrr) and I am ready to go. They printed out a little label with the date, the location, my precinct, and my name. They taped it onto an envelope. I then had to put my name and address and my John Hancock onto the envelope. Finally, I get a ballot and off I go, voting against that fascist piece of crap who has no idea what it means to be an American. That orange pile of fascist goo. Then I put the ballot into the envelope, seal it, and hand it over. The pole worker made sure it was signed and sealed, then put it into a box for my precinct.
On November 8, 2016, each box will be delivered to the proper precinct, and then the voter will be checked off again, the envelope will be unsealed, and the ballot will be loaded into the ballot machine. Done and done.
Now that it’s done, we ask the questions: Why did I do it, and would I do it again?
The why is simple. I hate that fascist piece of dog shit who is running on the Republican ticket in place of an actual Republican so much that I simply could not wait any longer. I had to cast the ballot now. The two week wait until 11/8/16 was going to make me lose my friggin’ mind. I am usually a very patient person, but the wait was making me sick. I had to vote early for my own sanity. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Unfortunately, I now have to wait two unbearable weeks to find out if the fascist lost or not.
Would I do it again? I don’t know. I have to say that my name being attached to the envelope that is currently holding my ballot is bothering me a little bit. The whole idea is a secret ballot. Yes you have to give your name when you vote on the actual election day too, but you do not have to attach your name to the ballot in any way. That’s not the case right now. If some corrupt asshole piece of shit wanted to know who I voted for, he’d just have to find my envelope and look. I don’t like that. On the other hand, I got to vote on my telecommuting day so I had no worries about being late to work because I voted in the morning. I didn’t have to worry about getting stuck in bad traffic and not being able to vote if I had decided to vote after work. My home and office are far enough apart that there is no way I could vote during the work day. I did it at my convenience and didn’t have to worry about anything. I might do this again.
So there is my early voting recap. One vote against fascism down, hopefully millions and millions more will follow.
I’m with her.
I’m thinking about taking part in the early voting program that Massachusetts made all of the cities and towns set up. Partly because it will let me vote before work on a telecommuting day, but also because I hate the thought of that orange pile of fascist goo winning the election so much that I want to give myself some cushion against something going wrong on election day. Like, what if I get sick and can’t get to the poles? Or what if I have to vote after work but my car breaks down on the highway and I can’t get there.
I haven’t looked at any of the ballot questions yet, but if I can do some research tonight and tomorrow, I might vote against fascism on Thursday. We’ll see.
I saw last night’s opening segment of Saturday Night Live. It was a really funny spoof of the second Presidential debate. Alec Baldwin is playing the part of the fascist candidate with the Oompa Loompa looking orange skin, henceforth to be known as the Orange Pile of Fascist Goo, or possibly OPFG for short.
The Orange Pile of Fascist Goo did what he does best when someone insults him. He went to twitter to bitch about it. Much the same as a stereotypical internet troll living in his mother’s basement despite being in his late 30’s or early 40’s while sustaining himself on a diet of hot pockets and pop tarts and yoo-hoo would do.
The OPFG stated that SNL should be cancelled, and that Baldwin’s performance was awful, and that the media is rigging the election.
Let’s break that down, okay?
Saturday Night Live has been on the air for 40 some odd years. Now, after all that time, Trumpie* is a target of their satire so I guess it’s time to cancel them. Thank you, OPFG for demonstrating your incredibly thin skin. I don’t recall any of the other candidates over the past 40 years bitching like whining little brats that the show that has spoofed every single one of them needs to be cancelled. All but a few of them took the satire like men. The exceptions being those who took it like women.
I felt that Alec Baldwin’s portrayal of the fascist candidate was spot on. The fascist’s reaction to it tells me that it was even better than I thought it was. If the OPFG reacted the way he did, then it must have been EPICALLY PERFECT! Congratulations, Mr Baldwin. You just earned yourself a truck load of Emmy Awards for the greatest acting performance in living memory. I tip my hat to you for your greatness.
So, Mr Orange Pile of Fascist Goo was spoofed on television and his response is to say that the media is rigging the election. He said that. I am not making it up, I promise he said that. Hell, he even put an exclamation point at the end of the sentence. I’m not kidding, not even a little bit.
If a Saturday Night Live sketch is an example of the media rigging the election, then it is clear to me that The Orange Pile of Fascist Goo does not know what the media really is. It’s satire, you shit for brains. It’s not a news story. It’s not a factual report that is skewing the story one way or the other. It is not a call to action. IT WAS A JOKE, YOU EFFIN’ DUMB ASS.
Let’s ignore the racism and the sexism and the sexual assaults and the fascism and the constant lying and the terrifying Russian influence and the fascination with nuclear weapons and the threats to jail his opponent. In other words, let’s for now ignore all of the reasons we already have that would guarantee no sane individual could ever vote for this egomaniacal sociopath… Not being able to tell the difference between a Saturday Night Live sketch and an actual media report is enough for anyone with a brain to realize this asshole is unelectable.
Vote for Clinton. Keep this moron away from Washington. Do the right thing, America. Say no to fascism.
*Trumpie… I used that word as a nod to fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Remember the Pod People episode? That was friggin hysterical. Trumpie, no!
I can’t bring myself to watch the Presidential debate tonight. My loathing of the fascist the Republican party nominated would result in me screaming at him at the top of my lungs, and eventually his disgusting fascist lies would cause me to lose my shit and throw something through the television.
My wife and I have been watching The Man in the High Castle over the last few days. It’s a story of what America would have been like had we lost World War II. All I can think while watching is that the Nazis didn’t need to win the war. They just had to wait patiently for the United States to turn fascist on it’s own. They just had to wait for 2016.
Donald Trump is a fascist.
I voted for Bernie Sanders in the Massachusetts Primary. Never has a candidate for office, any office, lined up with my personal political beliefs as well as Senator Sanders. It wasn’t a perfect match, but it was as close as I’ve ever seen.
I’m bitterly disappointed that the Democratic National Convention will not be nominating Senator Sanders tonight. I voted for Hillary Clinton eight years ago when she ran in the primary. I was torn between Clinton and Obama and could have supported either of them, but I felt a little more optimistic about Clinton and she got my vote. I was disappointed when she lost, but I was okay with it. Now? There are too many things about her and her campaign that piss me off. Too many questions, too many potential scandals, too much money, too much questionable activity, too much sleaze. She lost all of my support going into the MA primary. All of it.
I am voting for Hillary Clinton in November. I’ll tell you why.
Donald Trump is a fascist. Listen to what he says, and then look up the definition of fascism. Ultra Nationalism? Check. Blaming a social or racial group for the countries problems and making them out to be scapegoats? Check. Hitler had the Jews. Trump’s cup runs over with both Mexicans and Muslims. What was it he said during his acceptance speech last week? Something like, I am the only one who can fix things? Does that sound like a dictator to you, because it does to me. He wants to deport Americans based on their nationality and religion. He verbally attacks anyone who disagrees with him, not with facts but with childish name calling. He is the single most Un-American candidate for office our nation has ever seen.
He’s a fascist and half the country wants him to have control over the nuclear arsenal. What happens when a nuclear armed megalomaniac perceives another world leader’s words as an insult? Not an insult to The United States, but to him personally. What happens when a nuclear armed megalomaniac fascist wants to get even? The world ends? Not that hard to imagine.
Donald Trump is a fascist and if he is elected president it will be the end of our country. Don’t doubt for a second that he will destroy The United States in his twisted, viscous, hate filled attempts to make it “great” again. Think of all of the millions of people who gave their lives to stop fascism in Europe during the second world war. Are we going to insult their sacrifice by putting a fascist into the White House? Have we learned nothing from history?
Vote for Hillary Clinton in November. That’s the easiest way to stop American fascism in it’s tracks. If you, like me, supported Bernie Sanders and you write him in come November, or pick another third party candidate in order to protest against the DNC and the Clinton campaign, then you are voting for fascism. Splitting votes on the left is death to America. We must unite behind Hillary Clinton as it is the only clear way to keep the fascist out of office.
Otherwise there might come a day, if you are among the few who survive, when you’re children or grandchildren will ask you, “why didn’t you do something to stop him when you had the chance?” Is that what you really want?
Former First Lady of the United States, US Senator from the state of New York, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has officially announced that she is running for President.
There is really only one question left to ask.
Never in the short history of this great nation has the spouse of the President been a man. Hence, we do not have a male equivalent of the title First Lady. When Hillary becomes our nation’s second President Clinton we are going to need to come up with a new, official title for the first President Clinton, Hillary’s husband and former President Bill Clinton.
I’m going to throw my suggestion out there for everyone to see. I think the husband of our first female President should be officially referred to as The First Dude. Only “dude” should be pronounced surfer style so that it sounds more like The First Dooooooode.
I also think he should probably be kept out of the White House intern office. Just a thought.
Congratulations and best of luck to the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton. May you mop the floor with all competition.
I think we in Massachusetts might have done the right thing in electing Elizabeth Warren to the US Senate.
