UPDATE! Reaping What You Sow: Trump got TROLLED!
Don’t respect yourself or your office, don’t expect others to either. The Ol’ Pussy Grabber got epic trolled!
It's been five long years of blogging the Trump years. We've laughed, we've cried, we've pulled some of our remaining hair out, but we've made it. It is almost done and our democracy, nation, and souls are still largely intact. Unfortunately, we're not through.There is much more to come as we stitch ourselves back together like some kind of common Frankenstein monster as we recover from the PTSD that Trump gave us and the needless deaths and suffering from #COVID19. We also have to #BidenHarris honest, oppose Republican obstructionism anti-democratic tendencies, and whatever other black swans await us. All of which will be addressed using good old-fashioned snarcky, sarcasticky, profaney fun and psychological insights.
Don’t respect yourself or your office, don’t expect others to either. The Ol’ Pussy Grabber got epic trolled!
What to make of Mueller’s testimony? Will it help? Will it hurt? Will it not matter? How will people react? Well, psychology has something to say about it all… and it’s better news than you think!
Things perked up slightly in the Intelligence Committee than they were in the Judiciary. Go figure. Maybe everyone’s coffee had kicked in. You may not agree with my characterization, but I stand by my post. The only remaining question is whether the Dems are adept enough to build on the foundation that they laid or whether the foundation they laid is sufficient to build upon.
What to make of Mueller’s testimony? Does he secretly hate the US? Love the Ol’ Pussy Grabber? Is he more partisan than he appears? Or is he such a starched-shirt that he can just not ever be anything other than a by the book prosecutor?
Download the Mueller Report here. Hold a reading party and read it aloud over beer, wine, and finger food. Have some fun with it.
Do your part to improve conditions in the US. Keep a list of issues to contact your MoC about and call them every week! It is the single most effective way of impacting our government. Here’s my list for this week. Feel free to add to it in the comments. And, let us know how your call went!
Ever wondered how Fox News does it? Persuasive Design goes a long way to explaining how they keep your parents, friends, and neighbors enthralled. Don’t fear, though. I have divided the post into three successive parts: the Quick Dip, the Shallow Dive, and the Deep Dive. Each is an extension of the last so you can read as much or as little as you like and still get something you can use.
Racism is dying in America. We are witnessing the violent death throes of racism. Unfortunately, when open racism dies, it just sinks below the surface to slink along less detectable, especially by the white privileged.
The welcome Rep. Ilhan Omar got was as heart-warming as the Ol’ Pussy Grabber’s chant was chilling.
We all need a voice of hope now and again… well, a little more often than that in #FascistAmerica. As she does so often, Michelle Obama finds an opportune moment to lift our flagging spirits and remind us of why we #Resist.
By chanting “send her back” every attendee at Trump’s campaign rally in North Carolina has branded him or herself as a racist fascist. Make no mistake, there is a dangerous escalation of the fascist tendencies of the GOP.
Why does the appeal to racism work so often in politics? Why are so many people vulnerable to the racist appeal? Terror Management Theory gives us insight into the politics of racism and hope in countering it.
There are important issues, bills, amendments, and hearings before Congress every week! And, if the Great Civics Lesson has taught us anything, it has taught us that it is our civic duty to be INVOLVED in each and every one of them. And the rate at which this admin sows confusion, chaos, and consternation means that you gotta call every week and work your ass off to keep that call list current. Use this weekly post to help.
Calling your very own member of Congress is easy! It’s fun! And, it is the most effective way to influence our government! But, keeping up with all those issues and bills and hearings and stuff is not. So, here’s a handy-dandy do-it-yourself guide to help out, and my top five issues that I’m contacting my member of Congress about this week! It’s now a weekly post on Ye Olde Blogge! Look for it every Sunday!
In our ongoing sometimes series, Fascification WATCH in which Ye Olde Blogge documents our seemingly irrevocable slide into fascism. Today’s issue: the threat to put the citizenship question on the census in spite of a Supreme Court decision preventing it.
This is the inaugural post of a frequent yet irregularly appearing new feature called the Fascification WATCH in which I document the signs and symptoms of the increasing fascism of our politics and government.
Ever wonder about what it would take to reduce gun-related violence and deaths in the US? Well, as it turns out it’s easy: reduce the number of guns! Of course getting to the point where such a political decision is possible is the hard part.
Now that the end of the first Democratic presidential debate has finally ended after two days and 20 candidates and five moderators, how can we possibly know who won? We can’t say who won, but we can predict who benefited.
The Dems presidential candidates were debating on day 2 of their first debate. It was Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots for much of the debate. There is but one question, though, who won? Get the psysplainer for how to interpret the outcome of day 2’s debate!
Here’s another live-blog of the live-streaming of day 2 of the Democratic presidential primary debate. You know how it works: most recent additions are on top and the lower you go, the longer ago. Remember, Ye Olde Blogge is coming at you live from Paris, France — not […]
The first debate of Election 2020 is in the bag, or at least the first day and the first 10 are. So, who “won” from the first ten? How do we know?
