No One Seems to Get It

Spoiler alert, here comes another political bitch fest. You’ve been warned.

I don’t get why so many people don’t seem to understand this. People are looking to the US courts to keep the orange shit clown from destroying our country. Why? Haven’t these people been paying attention?

The supreme court of the fascist states of america gave the sitting president immunity from all prosecution for any actions taken while in office. That means the sitting president can literally do whatever he wants without any repercussions. Why then do so many people think that a court ruling against him will have any affect? The court says he can’t just deport anyone he pleases? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling. The court says he can’t rescind birthright citizenship? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling. The court says he can’t cancel aid payments that congress passed and a previous president signed into law? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling.

The federal government is gone. The supreme court saw to that with the immunity ruling. The constitution of the united states is gone. The supreme court saw that that with the immunity ruling. We are living in a dictatorship now where the president has absolute power and can do whatever psychotic thing he pleases and there is nothing we can legally do about it.

Why are so many americans having such a hard time realizing this? It is as clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. It is as clear as an un-muddied lake. It’s like when the trade federation dude asked Darth Sidious if his blockade was legal and Sidious said he’d make it legal. The orange shit clown doesn’t need to make his bullshit legal, the supreme court has already done that for him.

Enjoy your new dictatorship, citizens of the former united states. We’re stuck with it now.

No Kings

There were presidents day protests in Boston today. I would have joined them if I could, but I had to work. Today is a holiday that I don’t have off. Sucks. Not that I recognize the sitting president at all. The fascist states of america can have him, just keep his nazi ass out of my Massachusetts, please.

No Kings on presidents Day. Except maybe for the Los Angeles Kings, but that’s something completely different.

Four Nations Face Off

Are any NHL hockey fans psyched up for the Four Nations Face Off? The first game is tonight. Canada and Sweden are going to start in about 10 minutes. USA and Finland play tomorrow.

Do I care?

Usually I get pretty hyped up for this sort of international challenge. When NHL players are in the Olympics it is THE BEST HOCKEY EVER. Now? Today? With the United States crumbling into a fascist cesspool? It’s really hard to get up for an international hockey tournament when you are completely fucking ashamed of your country.

If there were a Massachusetts team, or a New England team, instead of a US team I might be excited. Otherwise I wish the US weren’t involved. If it were Canada, Sweden, Finland, and someone else (not Russia either) then I would be more excited. As it is? I just don’t care.

Where Are You From

After the disaster that was the election last week I saw a handful of people on various social media sites posting things that looked a little like this:

Q: Are you from the United States of America?
A: No, I’m from Massachusetts.

Thinking back to the disaster that was the presidential election in 2016, I was thinking things like that all the time. I remember commenting that watching my country elect a fascist president instantly turned me into a states rights kinda guy who put my state, Massachusetts WAY ahead of my country.

The way it felt in 2016 though… it was nothing compared to the way it feels now. I am not going to say that I am now a secessionist, but if New England, New York, and New Jersey wanted to make a go of it on their own, I’d be down with giving it a shot. You wouldn’t have to twist my arm very hard to get me on board. I would have to check out a map of election returns to see if we could maybe add Deleware and Maryland to the team. I know Virginia went for Harris, but that feels a little like a false flag to me, though that state has been voting Democrat more and more in recent years. I worry about including any state that can be described as Southern.

Maybe this little Northeastern Alliance could work something out with the West coast, assuming the good folks in California, Oregon, and Washington State would want to join us in our brave new world.

Again, I don’t feel as though I am a secessionist. After the bullshit demonstrated in the election last week though, I also no longer feel like an American. Any allegiance I feel at this point is to Massachusetts, not to the United States. If the rest of the country wants to embrace fascism let them. Leave me and my home state out of it.

11 days

The electoral college votes on December 14th. We have 11 days of this bullshit to go. Then we have to wait a couple of weeks for the electoral college votes to be counted by congress. Then we have a few weeks until the inauguration.

Then you’d think the trump disaster would end. You’d think. The reality is that it’s never, ever going to get better.Our country is over. We can’t come back from this. It was fun while it lasted, but it’s over.

Coup D’état

Coup d’état. I said that the 2016 election looked a lot like a coup d’état thanks to the russian interference. I never said the election was illegitimate, because right or wrong, the American people cast their votes.

Now we’re seeing an actual coup d’état. An attempt, at least. The justice department and a bunch of senators have joined the cheeto in his idiotic votes-for-the-other-guy-don’t-count crusade.

The motivation for this is clear. He’s raising money for the defense of the election, whatever the hell that means, and he’s embezzling that money to pay off his campaign debts. This is nothing but a scam to make a buck… and countless people are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

America, home of the stupid. It never ends.

One Week to Go

So the Senate contributed to the end of our democracy yesterday through sheer political hypocrisy. Seven days until we vote a bunch of them out.

Seven days until we remove the fascist from the white house. One week to go.

Seven days until I stop getting avalanched with spam email from Democratic candidate campaigns, all asking me for money. I’ve had 27 of them today, not counting the ones that actually went straight to my spam folder. A month ago I decided I wouldn’t mark any of these as spam until after the election. I’ve held to that out of some misguided superstition… but I really, really wish I hadn’t made that decision. Give me a break!
