Climate Change = Increases in Demagoguery, Nationalism, Authoritarianism, Violence, and Cruelty

By CalicoJack on 27 August 2019 • ( 12 Comments )

Reading time: 9 minutes!?! OUCH! There are lots of heading, though, so you can skip around and find the juiciest most interesting parts.
Climate change news just keeps getting worse. And, until we reach some kind of happy equilibrium — that’s a population of about 500,00 human beings, BTW — with planet earth, it probably will just keep getting worse, too. I mean, as bad as it is right now, when billions of people begin dying, that will be worse. So, what happens when the worst happens? Unfortunately, even more bad stuff: violence and cruelty

Quick dip: 2 minute read
Shallow dive: 4 minute read
Deep dive: 6 minute read
Internet trolls pop up almost as often as racists and white supremacists do nowadays. The funny thing their trolling techniques are so much alike, it’s almost like there were some degree mill popping them out, and an agency licensing them, and a continuing education requirement. But, that would be silly, right? Well, I dissect a troll after a Twitter encounter. Come see the oozing dripping guts and other viscera! It’s educational.

Does Donald Trump Appeal To Men With Peener Insecurity? NYU Did Science To It! – Wonkette

By CalicoJack on 15 December 2018 • ( 3 Comments )

This article is one written for my own heart: it’s psychologiey, snarky, sarcasticky, and profaney. But wait, there’s more: it has dick jokes AND it reports the science as it actually is not how we want it to be as is so often the case in the reporting […]

A Quickie: The If-Someone-Shows-You-Who-They-Are, You-Should-Believe-Them Election

By CalicoJack on 8 November 2018 • ( 14 Comments )

The 2018 mid-terms are mostly history. We’re still waiting on a couple of recounts and mail-in votes to be counted to determine a few outcomes. While the Dems did not win as much as our fevered dreams had hoped they would, and the Repubes won more than what […]

The Cognitive Tom Fuckery Behind Support for Kavanaugh

By CalicoJack on 29 September 2018 • ( 22 Comments )

After today’s very ugly display by the bullignorant (obvious to all) drunken (allegedly) rapist (allegedly) otherwise known as Brett Kavanaugh, it is unbelievable that anyone could still support his nomination, yet Repubes of every stripe do. Did you listen to the way he talked, shouted, and screamed? Was […]

They just ain’t gonna take it no more! They are WHITE RAGED! They’ll stop those liberals from turning […]

The Unproductive Malignant Narcissist WATCH: the Trump Tower, edition

By CalicoJack on 7 August 2018 • ( 3 Comments )

Ever since the Ol’ Pussy Grabber woked up last Sunday morning, grabbed his tweeter in his meaty stubby chubbies, and choked out his confession to collusion, there has been much rending of clothing, gnashing of teeth, and scraping of boils amongst the punditry Fake News reporting, a complete […]

We all have seen the vacuous and willfully ignorant trolls on social media. Ye Olde Blogge is no stranger to them. Here are a couple exemplifying the most ridiculous trends in social media trolling and commenting.

The Collective Narcissism of Conservatives Promotes Violence and Chaos

By CalicoJack on 25 January 2018 • ( 14 Comments )

Human beings evolved to work best in groups. And, like all other mental disorders, we can take that group effort into the realms of madness. The GOP and conservatives have done just that. Luckily, the counter-weight to their madness is also rests in our efforts as a group.

Is Trump’s Unpredictability Destroying America?

By CalicoJack on 26 December 2017 • ( 11 Comments )

Is it too soon to talk about the dissolution of America? The Ol’ Pussy Grabber is literally destroying what it means to be American. He is pitting brother against brother in a way that hasn’t been seen since the Civil War.

Will the 7-2 SCOTUS Split Grab You by the Pussy?

By CalicoJack on 5 November 2017 • ( 15 Comments )

A 7-2 conservative split on the Supreme Court should terrify every liberal leaning American, but it didn’t in 2016 at least not enough to vote for Clinton. Now, we have one last chance to get it right or we watch 80 years of progressive achievements evaporate as if they never happened.

MEME: Imitation

By CalicoJack on 8 October 2017 • ( 2 Comments )

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then maybe we’ve gotten the Ol’ Pussy Grabber all wrong. Maybe he wasn’t humiliating, shaming, and mocking, maybe he was flattering, respecting, and imitating. His latest target, Puerto Rico because kick ’em while they’re down is his motto, right?

Snarky, Sarcasticky, Profaney Thoughts: Defining the United Fucking States of Fucking Stupid

By CalicoJack on 15 September 2017 • ( 6 Comments )

The prospect of our last chance at halting climate change, of being at the center of the world stage, of being the most powerful nation in the history of world being wasted by having the Ol’ Pussy Grabber at the helm is depressing and troubling.
