Another song with irony, praying for a poor lost soul, They Might Be Giants, “ Kiss Me…. https://youtu.be/RqOSPm2UdRs?si=E7qqmRAvnRM4zrWU

Glad to James McMurty get mentioned. Songs of social conscience might not be easy to dance but have value.

When will petty vandalism and SM hatred move into something more lethal in Springfield, OH? tRump, Hillbilly, and a couple of dozen GOPers are throwing more fuel on the fire, as if actions and words have no consequences. You can be sure that in the event of one or more life-threatening or worse incidents visited upon Haitians by tRump-inspired "patriots", his campaign will immediately accuse Kamala Harris of "promoting illegal immigration" and commending those in Springfield of "protecting their community", yadda-yadda.

These people operate in a total moral vacuum, and accept zero responsibility for vile acts done in their name.

Re Springfield and, for that matter, J6: when I call those people (Republicans) sick, it’s not engaging in infantile name calling but objective, confirmable fact.

And the periodic reminder: not a single Party of Trump politician forced their way into office (like Trump tried to do in J6 1.0) but were nearly all elected by, you know, people free to choose who to vote for. (Exceptions of course were appointed by people elected etc.)

Of course, now that Kamala, Muir and Davis showed Trump for what he is, we’ll see whether there’s enough voters capable of doing what they need to do.

And there is nothing he can really do to secure the “norms” of the DOJ. The SC has granted 45 with absolute immunity.

Here's an easy way to DO SOMETHING! It's an open letter to Congress.

Not only threats. They are yielding actual crimes. Haitians in Springfield, Ohio are reporting damage to their cars and homes.

Garland could've resolved this years ago if he had not slow walked/no walked the case against tangeranus. It would be funny that he is now concerned about MAGAT nation turning on DOJ if there were not so many innocent DOJ employees now at risk.

Trump does this to distract attention from his incompetence.

Look how powerful I am, is the message. All I have to do is speak, and my minions fulfill my every sadistic wish.

We are living in a dangerous time.
