Georgia Gov. Kemp on Trump's dinner with antisemites and a white nationalist: “Racism, antisemitism and denial of the Holocaust have no place in the Republican Party and are completely un-American.”https://t.co/N361PGRaS6

Who the fuck do these guys think they are fooling? Why are they allowed to just spew this bullshit with no one in the media or elsewhere calling them out.
First off, let’s deal with the fact that this is who Trump is and who he has been for the last fucking however long he has been on the national political scene. The motherfucker came flouncing down an escalator in the year of our lord 2015 and the first thing he did was cover the attending media and nation with racist bukkake. His entire presidency was a fucking display of white supremacist bullshit. It’s a little fucking rich that these guys are just now noticing it.
Second, let’s look at the record of Kemp, which has been nothing but racist attempts to disfranchise any constituent who wouldn’t look like an extra at the Masters.
And finally, this bullshit that there is something un-American about racism or anti-semitism. It’s not only not un-American, but racism is one of the foundational tenets of our society from the fucking initial constitution onward. And it has been embraced with open arms by the Republican party of which Kemp a member. In just the past few decades the very same Republican party swelled it’s ranks with former Dixiecrats, Ehrlichman and Nixon launched the war on drugs to use it to lock up black people and hippies in the sixties and seventies to Lee Atwater spilling the tea to school busing riots in Boston to redlining to the growth of HOA’s to putting highways through black communities to the way we use property taxes to fund schools to the last forty years of an overt attack on anything in the public sphere because if minorities get to benefit alongside white people well we just gotta get rid of that shit. Do you know how many public pools we filled with concrete instead of letting black people use them.
Fuck these motherfuckers.

If one more idiot tries to blame Biden or any other member of this administration for “supply chain issues,” I am going to no longer keep up the facade of my sparkling demeanor and I am going to lose my shit on everyone. The supply chain is not some inanimate object that you break like you dropped a wine glass. It’s not something you can fix with solder and duct tape. It’s not actually even a fucking chain.
The supply chain is people. People showing up at work to cut the hay. People showing up to deliver the hay to dairy farms. People to feed the hay to the cows and milk them. People to transport the milk. People to make the dairy product. People to grow and cut the trees. People to deliver the trees to the pulp mill. People to turn that into paper products. People to turn the products into packaging. People to ship the packaging to the plant making the dairy product. People to package and ship the dairy product. People to unload and stock the item. And in between tens of thousands of other things going on. The utility workers to keep the power on. The traffic cops and road crews to keep the roads open. The people to educate your kids while you are at work doing one of those things above.
It’s not dark fucking magicks, it’s people, although if you ask any Sergeant Major or Colonel and above anywhere they will tell you that logistics is in fact one part dark magic of some sort.
So when there is a pandemic that is sickening and killing large numbers of those people in a population, and even worse, half those people refuse to do anything to protect themselves because “mah freedoms” or to make a political statement or because Jenny McCarthy is a fucking twat, the supply chain breaks down. Biden isn’t sitting somewhere like Johnny from Airplane the movie turning the power to the supply chain on and off. There just isn’t much he can do about it. There isn’t much GODKING Trump can do about it.
No one can do anything about it until you stupid motherfuckers do something yourself, and even then, there are going to be variants that wipe us out for a while. Grow the fuck up.

These fucking whiners honestly think they are free speech advocates:
Saturday July 2021. A month that will live in infamy. If there is such a thing as “history” in the Biden–Orwell–Soros omni-dictatorship, July 2021 will mark the month that the Constitution, the “greatest work ever thrown off by the hand and mind of man,” as Gladstone put it, was thrown into the Ministry of Truth Memory Hole.
It was put into the “History Erase” well. A bottomless pit.
In this month, actually starting with the month before, that the superpowers of the tech world, Google, YouTube, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo, admitted to working with the Biden/NKVD administration to suppress free speech.
If there is so much fucking censorship how come I hear every single fucking one of their bad ideas? I literally can go to youtube and search for “best way to cut a mango” and within three clicks a video from PragerU is telling me there was something to pizzagate.

This fucking idiot:
Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday took his most drastic action yet to respond to the post-reopening coronavirus surge in Texas, shutting bars back down and scaling back restaurant capacity to 50%.
He also shut down river-rafting trips, which have been blamed for a swift rise in cases in Hays County, and banned outdoor gatherings of over 100 people unless local officials approve.
“At this time, it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities, including Texans congregating in bars,” Abbott said in a news release. “The actions in this executive order are essential to our mission to swiftly contain this virus and protect public health.”
Bars must close at noon Friday, and the reduction in restaurant capacity takes effect Monday. Before Abbott’s announcement Friday, bars were able to operate at 50% capacity and restaurants at 75% capacity.
“At this time.” Let that sink in. “AT THIS TIME.” Motherfucker this was clear MONTHS ago and why every state run by reasonable, sane, people, including my redneck gomer Jim Justice and right wing anti-abortion nutjob Mike Dewine in Oho shut their fucking states down. “AT THIS TIME.” Fuck you.
Side note- some days I worry that I am losing control of the English language, because I am so exasperated with these people that all I can muster half the time is “fucking asshole” or “this fucking idiot” or “you stupid cocksucker” or something similar. I tried to come up with something different to begin this, and sat there for five minutes, and really all I could write was “This fucking idiot.” It’s just where I am now, so humor me.
Back to the point- this has been obvious for, well, in 2020 terms where every day is a week and every week is a month and every month is the longest century ever, this has been obvious for fucking ever. People with an iq over room temperature have been expecting a second wave since the start of this thing. Where they erred was that YOU FUCKING PEOPLE ARE SO AWFUL you never let us get out of the first god damned wave.
It didn’t have to be this way. Other civilized nations handled the crisis. I don’t know if it is the racism because these yokels in the south saw it hitting minority communities worse than other groups and said fuck it. I don’t know if it is just a fear of the base. I don’t know if they are just that fucking stupid. I don’t know if it is because they are greed pigs who only care about the stock market. I don’t know if they are just sociopaths who don’t care about other people. Probably some combination of all of the above plus the Baby Jeebus.
But it just didn’t have to be this way. After decades of rushing off to fight elective wars of choice, for once there is a battle we have to fight, and Republicans surrendered. And we had ample warning.
CHINA BUILT A FUCKING HOSPITAL IN TEN DAYS. That’s when I ordered masks and supplies, fer fuck’s sake. And I am no rocket surgeon. And I am bracing for the fall, when the supply chains and economy are really going to tank. I have a turkey picked out, I’m splitting a pig with a friend, I went in on a 1/4 cow with three others, I spent my stimulus check on raised beds and an irrigation system and mason jars and lids, and I am going to grow and can my ass off.
But it didn’t have to be this way. You stupid motherfuckers.

One of the aspects of the decline of the right wing mind that we are going to have to deal with for decades to come is the choice to remain proudly and defiantly stupid while insisting that you know as much as the experts. I have seen several posts like this by anti-mask imbeciles that proudly demonstrate the point:
It’s a microcosm of Republican thought the last few decades, and no different from arguing that the estate tax is actually a TAX ON YOU DYING and the other hundreds of similar arguments. It’s absurd and stupid, but reiterated and elevated to the point of being the received view among true believers.
This one is particularly maddening- yes, a virus is smaller than a cloth mask. Everyone fucking knows this, including the mask maker, the people suggesting people wear masks, and, you know, the folks who designate masks as N-95, where the 95 stands for the 95 fucking percent of shit it will filter out. That means they know 5% gets through.
But like every right-wing argument, that misses the fucking point. The reason you wear masks is not for 100% certainty or protection, but because the virus is transmitted by being aerosolized when individuals speak, breath, yell, cough, sneeze, etc., and is carried through the air in droplets, where it can infect other people who inhale it, or if it gets in through their eyes, or it gets on their skin and they then get it into their eyes, mouth, nose, or it gets on a surface where it can stay for several days for someone to pick up that way. You wearing a mask reduces the chance that if you are carrying it, you are blasting out the plague every time you breathe, cough, talk, yell. It reduces the chance that you inhale it, because the droplets will get caught in the outside of your mask, and also why disposable masks are FUCKING SUPPOSED TO BE… DISPOSED OF.
To ignore the advice of the medical community, you have ignore everything above AND think that doctors for some reason have been running a long con since, well, fucking germ theory, and have been wearing masks forever just to one day get to this point, where, they could claim a false pandemic and force everyone to wear masks to IMPOSE THEIR WILL ON YOUR FREEDOMS.
This fucking pandemic might not kill us all, but right wing stupidity might.

Please stop telling my preferred candidate to drop out when only three states have voted.
Thank you.
*** Update ***
Two minutes after posting this, I learn that Buttigieg is suspending his campaign. He was not my preferred candidate, but this seems very newsworthy.
Pete Buttigieg is heading back to South Bend and will give a speech tonight suspending his campaign, according to an aide.
His campaign just advised that he’ll deliver remarks at 830 p.m EST. pic.twitter.com/dXvvnVlhaP
