Trump Is A Criminal, Example #LostCount

Trump is a criminal. Therefore, anyone who supports Trump is aiding and abetting criminality, so he/she is likewise a criminal.

Here's just the latest in a stupefyingly long list of his crimes:

Trump removes independent watchdog tasked with overseeing coronavirus emergency funds

I'll say it again: Trump is a criminal, and if you support him, you are a criminal. (You're a moron, too, and a bully, and an ignoramus, and a sociopath, but that's another matter; seek help.)

Paraphrasing Mencken, I hope he and all of you get what you deserve, and I hope you get it good and hard.

Obama Just Gave Your Savings Account to JPMorgan

This is why I spend so much money on beautiful clothes. Because no matter how much I have saved -- and I've saved a lot -- I figure I'll be screwed out of it by the oligarchs who run the country. So I may as well look fab as I'm going down!

Police State USA: Supreme Court Refuses to Hear NDAA Challenge

The U.S. is a fucking police state. I don't care how many people don't get it, I don't care how many of them have their heads up their asses, the U.S. is a police state. Thank god my activist friends get it; at least I have a few people I can talk to.

The latest from the Supreme Rubber Stampers of the land, via the Rutherford Institute:

A report came out last week exposing corruption at the Department of Homeland Security, with the DHS inspector general in cahoots with other officials high up in the administration.

Talk Nation Radio: Lisa Simeone on How the TSA Trains Us in Obedience

I did a phone interview a few weeks ago with longtime political activist David Swanson on the TSA and its many and sundry abuses of our civil liberties. Yeah, I should’ve Skyped ’cause my portion of the audio isn’t so great, but c'est la vie.

Newly elected Seattle City Council member -- running on a socialist platform -- Kshama Sawant just took her oath of office. You can watch the video at this link, but here's the full text of her speech after her swearing in. I've bolded certain passages:

Khalil Bendib

From the great Khalil Bendib (click to enlarge):

Bombazine

Bombazine is a fabric. You can see more info and literary references at this Wikipedia link.

I chose the name because of the fashion reference and the inherent play on words -- "bomb" as in "you're the bomb," "that dress is the bomb," and "zine" referring to the independent publications of yesteryear. Since I write about politics, fashion, art, design, beauty, etc., I thought "bombazine" was the perfect name.

The fact that "bomb" is also a trigger word for our DHS/NSA overlords is icing on the cake.

In addition to doing original writing, I also re-publish other things that I think are worthwhile, with, of course, full attribution to the authors. I don't think I write deathless prose; therefore, I have no problem calling attention to the prose of others. I realize this is anathema to some in the blabbosphere (who apparently think they do write deathless prose). Tough shit.

Sorry, this blog doesn't accept comments. I don't have time to wade through spammers, plants, and trolls, not to mention pearl-clutching Pollyannas who go into cardiac arrest over naughty words. This is an adult blog that discusses adult topics. If you're offended by language -- or ideas -- this isn't the place for you.
