I guess it’s another way un neurodivergent fail: we could see how profoundly unfit for office Trump was (and how it worsened post-J6) in a way normal people couldn’t…

Anyway.

Struck me this morning that, to my very limited knowledge, Trump is the first person in history who sought to rule a nation to make it as awful as possible. Or, less hyperbolically maybe, to spend all his energies on vindictiveness and self-enrichment.

And yesterday’s “striking” was that he makes Hitler look classy (Holocaust notwithstanding).

And we freely chose him…

It’s all too amazing for my wiring…

The look on Musk's face hardly has the vibe of an affectionate "My heart goes out to you ".

The look on Musk's face when he saluted was pure defiance and a huge F YOU.

"an honorable truthful and disciplined lifestyle".

You can't make these things up.

It's one thing to tear a thing down. It's completely another to build it back better. When the motivation is tinged, if not encompassed, with cruelty, anger, and retribution, the likelihood of failure seems pretty high. I wonder, if we get the chance to retake the government, can we put it back together again?

Boss of the world. They voted for him because he promised to use violence to eliminate the Boogie Man. They didn't realize that the Boogie Man is whoever he says it is.

Instilling fear and cruelty are

the points of the Trump

Regime. He and his toads

gloat on it and every single

bit of anxiety and despair it

causes anyone. We have to

steel ourselves to cope with

this and use every little thing

we can, to turn up the heat

under their pot until they boil.

Holocaust Remembrance Day is today. Prescient with gunning for Medicaid but not Medicare. Disabled care is paid for with Medicaid, even if you have Medicare. I should know. I have both. Blatantly illegal orders and they will get walked back and blocked, but in the meantime it is February 1 and a new Medicaid month imminently and a new SNAP month imminently.
