TRUMP MONKEY

-Comprised mostly of a demographic of “Middle American Radicals".

What defines Middle American Radicals is an ideology that re­volves around an in­tense con­vic­tion that they are un­der siege from above and be­low."

They are ultra populists, white nationalists, and are convinced they’re getting screwed by both the rich and minorities.

They are PARANOID, DELUSIONAL, and exceptionally suseptible to empathetic authority figures.

"This is the way I drift

from each skirmish with the world
to the diplomacy of light
as it flares off the water,

flickers among the flute-notes
of birds hidden in the leaning birches."

3/3 Elie, cont'd:

Put another way: Trump, his supporters, and his media spokespeople at the New York Times have decided that Trump is weaker and less able to defend his own actions in a normal court process than Gwyneth Paltrow.

I legitimately love how open people generally are on the Fediverse. I make a dumb comment about a game I am playing, and they find it and respond... we friend each other and BAM connection is made.

So little aggressive punditry here.

Good morning. ❄️ Beautiful storm overnight. Have a lovely day. 💙🤍 #wednesday #humpday #snowday #winterpeg

Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

For a prosecutor to announce plans to launch retaliatory, partisan political prosecutions is a violation of their oath of office. To do so runs afoul of @ABAesq standards for prosecutors, the Code of Prof. Responsibility, the bar rules of their state.
So what are their names?

Aaron Rupar:

James #Comer on Fox & Friends says he took calls yesterday from county attorneys in KY and Tenn. who are eager to "go after the Bidens" to retaliate for the #TrumpIndictment #legal

I admire your optimism, but it is misplaced.

We already experienced the American version of the Beer Hall putsch, and thus far, zero coup leaders have faced any consequences. Many of the minions got slaps on their wrists.

Even if Trump dies tomorrow, Trump voters are still voting, and they are still just as radical as ever, and the propaganda apparatus is still radicalizing them.

I think it would be extremely foolish to let our guards down now of all times.

I think my home office assistant might be to blame for the cat hair in my coffee.

Joseph Smith encouraged early Mormons to pool their resources. 200 years later, the LDS church has an investment portfolio estimated at $100 billion – and recently agreed to pay a $5 million fine in a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for obscuring details of it.

This week we honor #EricBoehlert, a year since his tragic passing on April 4, 2022. Eric spoke with fierce clarity about the failings of our political media. His voice is needed more than ever.

Todd Brassner was a 67-year-old art dealer who died in a fire in Trump Tower

NYC enacted laws requiring sprinklers in new buildings and retrofits for existing ones

Donald Trump lead the charge to defeat the sprinkler requirement for Trump Tower

It would have cost $4 more per sq. foot to install sprinklers

Trump did kill someone on 5th Ave.

Pretty interesting short read

Tuesday's Supreme Court justice race was the FIRST election in a swing state since Trump was indicted on Thursday. Who came out to vote? Progressives. The indictment did NOT fire up GOP. But GOP ending Roe v Wade fired up Dems!!!

If people keep electing the rich and powerful to the position of lawmaker, we will continue to get laws that benefit the rich and powerful.

“Forbes 30 under 30 honoree indicted” has become the “Dog bites man” story of the 21st Century. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/04/04/frank-founder-charged-with-fraud-over-175-million-jpmorgan-deal.html
