Every day, many women in this country are maimed, raped, killed, abused by men/ex-boyfriends/boyfriends/husbands/brothers/fathers/uncles/employers who are not immigrants, who think and have been taught that they are somehow enitled to harm women. What about those genes? I don't need your protection, Trump. I need to feel safe, from men like you. I have the right to feel safe. I need you and your minions to stop spouting toxic masculinity, which has never done anyone any good, ever. When I have to think twice about going for a hike, or walking down a street, going to look at a real estate listing, getting in a car with an Uber driver, or being alone in an elevator or parking garage, I don't have immigrants in mind.

I confess: Trump playing the superior genes card kind of cracks me up pretty much without fail. The irony is just overwhelming.

To put it in his own terms: he’s a subhuman monster, a thoroughly heartless human being of no special intelligence. And having been born bad, he was raised to accentuate all that was bad about him. (Whether he could have been raised to be any sort of good is a) beyond my interest but doubtful and b) judging from his siblings, I tend to doubt such a thing was possible.)

And then there’s the irony of the establishment media being all pissy about Kamala’s media plays which seems to be a focused of going to the audiences to which she needs to go. That the establishment news media’s audiences are in decline is apparently something said media seems to have failed to perceive. OTOH, there’s the Times’ phone app’s redesign which features tabs for a bunch of things. But not one just for news.

Speaking of irony, there’s the one David noted about NOAA’s problem tracking Milton because of what Helene did in and around Asheville.

Sooo much irony. May we live in interesting times indeed…

Of course the "bad seed" or genetically determined criminality of any kind is a myth although Trump is the third generation of a a frauster family as laid out in my first book on Trump.

That hurricane track looks like it will track right across the crumbling old golf resort and BDSM chamber in West Palm Beach. Wouldn't it be just *terrible* if the place got the shit knocked out of it?

A boy can dream.

One can be sure that the Orange Shithead will be ensconec in a "secure and undisclosed location" if Milton actually does batter MAL...oh, and fuck all the little people in FL who will get displaced or killed by Milton, coz "I got their votes, and it's FEMA's fault".

Per Kat Tenbarge at 'Just Security' this 10/8 morning. Elon Musk is "offering $47 Payments"

[ can't make this scam up] "by signing a petition" [not a real petition] "by supporting the 1st & 2nd Amendments" [vitriol & guns] " to attract Trump voters".

Sit a Grand Jury to hear evidence Investigating into Musk's campaign PAC expenditures, please.

The only thing in this morning memo that didn’t make me cringe with either fear or disgust is the NYT/Siena poll results.

Tired of gloom and gloom on Xitter, Mastodon is a much nicer platform. And Tomi is on top of news, with fantastic humor

All this cra* being pushed by

Trump is covered under

political speech? Musk and

Carlson? They're not running

for any office but use the 1st

Amendment as their cover?

There was something nasty

in all the above gene pool

imho.

I love our CONSTITUTION but

there are areas of it that

definitely need to be tweaked

to cover the 21st century.

Whoo boy, TheoBros. What about women who have outlived their men? Ice floes? Or making suttee mandatory as proof of how “ecumenical” you are?
