It’s been a while and although I haven’t had time to write, my brain is getting overloaded with thoughts and I’m afraid of an explosion…so.

I really hate when Republicans attack
Democrats as the original party of racist hate, citing segregation and Jim Crow
laws initialized by Democrats in the south as proof. All of this is true, but
don't play dumb. They need to stop pretending like they don't know about the Republican
Southern Strategy initiated by Nixon to lure Democrats to the Republican
party after LBJ’s support of civil rights alienated the southern Dixiecrats. Cynical
Republican racists welcomed their votes with open arms into the party for the
rich and the stupid. They know very well that evil dead racists like Jessie
Helms and Strom Thurmond left the Democratic Party for the Republicans. They
know that Confederate treason flags are not welcome at Democratic Party
functions but are shamelessly flown by their fellow, treasonous Republican
voters. Stop playing stupid.

I feel like the “this makes us feel
bad” crowd is really just telling on themselves. They want to rewrite
history and leave out details of America’s founding. You know, like that whole
slavery thing, because it may make White people feel bad. If the truth about
slavery makes you feel guilt rather than empathy or desire to make things
better, then yeah, you're probably already a bigot. White-washing history
benefits no one. Nobody’s saying that you’re responsible for the racist shit
your ancestors did, but you are responsible for educating yourself, so you
don’t repeat what they did.

In
2022, Ron DeSantis signed the "Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida
which banned talk of sexual orientation and gender identity in public school
classrooms up to 3rd grade, later amended to 12th grade.
This opened the door for other states and jurisdictions to pass similar laws.
Here’s the thing. If as a kid I read a story about Little Jimmy’s Adventures
which presented the story of Jimmy, his mom and dad having a fun filled day at
the zoo, it would never occur to me to ponder his parents sex life or what they
did in bed. That would be sick and perverted right? So, what makes people think
that when a child reads or is read the same story, except this time Jimmy has
two dads or two moms, which a lot of kids today have, that it’s somehow not age
appropriate. The idea of the sexual activity of Jimmy’s parents would never
occur to me as a child. Age appropriateness is just a buzzword. If when you see
two gay people and your initial response is to muse about what they do in bed, perhaps
you have the problem. And by the way, marriage has always been and still is about two
consenting adults agreeing to share their lives and responsibilities with each
other. Nothing’s changed.

Trumpsters never question whether Trump is
guilty or not but instead attack the DOJ, Jack Smith, talk about democrats
weaponizing the system and deflect with Hunter Biden. He himself offers no defense
but instead attempts to delay the process, harasses judges, District Attorneys,
jurors, and the justice system in general. If he were as innocent as he claims,
you would think he’d be rushing to get to trial to prove it.

Obama must be so jealous of Trump. The
Marmalade Don has a huge lead in both indictments and impeachments. Obama had
eight whole years and couldn't manage to get impeached or indicted even once.
What a loser.

How did I miss when white people started
knowing what Martin Luther King Jr. would have wanted? They love to selectively
quote him as if he were some hero to them. But let's be clear, not everyone
cried when he died. There were those who hated and despised him. Those who
preached from the pulpit that he was evil, going to hell, and that segregation
was ordained by God. He was labeled a communist and a traitor. So, I can't help
but be amused when these same people now try to use his words against us.
My favorite is when they quote a portion of his "I Have A Dream"
speech. "I have a dream that my
four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
In their revisionist history, he was some Kumbaya folk hero who only wanted his
kids to be known for their character. This quote has been used over and over again
in opposition to civil rights. They use it to imply that we should ignore systemic
racism and economic inequality. Because, you know, for them it doesn't exist.
They believe we live in some post racial society where everyone has equal access,
and no one is denied or discriminated against because of race. After all, we
elected a Black President, didn’t we? Yeah, right, the result of which led to
the election of racist President Dumb Ass.

The price of gasoline is not controlled by
the President but instead by the oil companies which are posting record
profits. The stock market isn't controlled by the president either, but the
feds raising the interest rate to slow inflation, doesn't help. The present
administration has generated more jobs than Orange Foolius ever did and has
done more for infrastructure and the everyday American as well. He has passed
the Cares Act, Chips Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure and unemployment is at a
multi-decade low. Republicans spend their time complaining and covering for
Trump. They’ve had the house for almost three years and no legislation has been
passed. They have no platform or ideas other than the projection of hatred. Joe
Biden has done a more than credible job as President than the Mango Mussolini
could have ever hoped to. The talks of ageism and asking him to step aside are
baseless and an obvious attempt to help Benedict Donald by the people who
elected an entertainer con-man as President.
