Mike Pence. The very sound of his name brings to mind albino purse poodles, lightly masticated tapioca starch, and unscented urinal cakes. Or a mayo-larded potato salad that looked safe when you were in line at the church potluck, but somehow just isn’t sitting right anymore. To call him nondescript would be...
signs
A political economy of signs would be both qualitative and quantitative, not purely “cultural”, because there will always be “last instances”. Those last instances will be sufficiently determinative, even over-determined, complete with multiple entry points. http://www.behance.net/… What causes a mirage? – ScientificAmerican https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-causes-a-mirage/ Mirages are a direct result of photons taking the path of...
Here’s the latest news today out of Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), who announced a 2022 Senate bid earlier this month, said in a statement Tuesday that he will not accept donations from the fossil fuel industry in his run. Fetterman said in the statement obtained by The Hill via...
From the Human Rights Campaign, “Biden’s Executive Order is the most substantive, wide-ranging executive order concerning sexual orientation and gender identity ever issued by a United States president. Today, millions of Americans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their President and their government believe discrimination based on sexual...
Trump’s staff may have tricked him into thinking he has a line-item veto. Attention-seeking becomes purer for the desperate POTUS*. Trump dithered because he thinks that improves an “unpredictability” brand that shines the turd of incompetence. Trying to make indecisiveness a fashion statement only works when horseshoes are hand grenades. One...
Of course, Tucker Carlson is a journalist in the same sense that Joseph Goebbels was. Which means, not at all. The Hill: Fox News host Tucker Carlson took aim at incoming first lady Jill Biden on Monday evening, downplaying her doctoral degree in education amid the escalating controversy over whether she should use the...
How are we all feeling? Judging from my own feelings and observations, “cautiously optimistic” seems to be the prevailing mood this morning. Correct me if I’m wrong. That said, you could cut the tension with Donald Trump’s future prison shiv. But who gives a fuck about that guy? This guy...
Nothing about right-wing extremists and their boogaloos. The Albert Pike Confederate Statue protection order now begins. “Many of the rioters, arsonists, and left-wing extremists…have explicitly identified themselves with ideologies — such as Marxism — that call for the destruction of the United States system of government.” x “It is the...
Trump got stuck dealing with his approval of Uighar concentration camps while also signing their condemnation in the Uighur Human Rights Policy Act. Another screw up like Bunker Boy’s street-clearing stunt, and Trump as usual attacks to divert attention. An angry Trump has spent a number of tweets attacking John Bolton. x...
Above is a photo of a protest crowd today at Olympia, WA. Trump says he watched the protests (not specifically this one), and… “I watched the protest and they were all six feet apart,” Trump said at Sunday’s coronavirus task force briefing. “It was a very orderly group of people.”...
There were those who warned us about Dr. Robert Redfield when Trump appointed him to the be director of the CDC, and the coronavirus pandemic and the American governments abysmal response to it are proving Redfield’s critics right. However, Redfield has been able to keep his head down and not...
The 2020 election should not be a mess except that what seems to be obvious will be ignored. Angry stupid people could vote en masse. In our polls from last month, here's the completion percentage by vote history.Voted 2016 and 2018: 2.3%Voted 2016 not 2018: 1.3%Didn't vote 2016, voted 2018: 2.3%Didn't...
This will be short but bitter. Despite claims that he doesn't support the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act” (RFRA) for Michigan, this afternoon, Gov. Snyder signed a package of three bills into law that are accurately described as “RFRA for Adoptions”. By signing the legislation into law, Gov. Snyder is joining...
