Donald Trump: you have common ground with Amy Acton. She could help you.

 Donald: you know a thing or two about loveless parenting.  Look at your dad. Amy's mom was so toxic that the COURTS took her child away at age 12.  It takes some pretty harsh evidence for that to happen.  That didn't happen with your dad.   Is there any chance that you could understand that Amy had an even harsher childhood than you did?  That she was far more of a victim (at age 12!!!) than even you were. I know...for you, empathy is an impossibility. Still...for once you could keep your drooling mouth shut.  You could break the cycle by admitting that maybe you and Amy have common ground.  You both got cheated by your parents (in Amy's case, violated). You shit on Pete's mom, who is NOT estranged and not legally separated from her son, when she publicly said he was not fit for office and is a serial abuser of women.  But you appear to love Amy Acton's mom for claims made when her daughter was 12.   Claims that you could understand you...

Remember Poland

FDR and Churchill fucked over Poland to appease Stalin.  The result was increasing USSR purges and decades of Polish suffering.  The US thrived because we got to finance German reconstruction and fuel our own growth by billing  the remaining “NATO” members.   Donald Trump—you are heinous.  You have left us with no friends and no trading partners globally.  You are murdering Ukrainians and you and Putin are standing on your tiny pedestals in the face of universal condemnation.   Fuck you, you inept moron.  

Question for NY Giants

What on earth are we doing with a quarterback who looks at the sky for support from some god? That might be ok for a bland place like Tampa Bay. Definitely not in a blue state or a city that claims cultural relevance. Or in a country where the Supreme Court seems beholden to previous popes. I’m sick of the damage religion is inflicting on our society and embarrassed that the NFL adds to that propaganda. Tell the guy to focus on the talent of his teammates once in awhile. He’s probably within a game or two of the end of his career based on prayers.

What makes Trump unique as a sociopathic narcissist

Research into this toxic disease show that many of these sick people are relatively intelligent and lead effective lives (though they all hurt and abuse family and others in their orbits. Trump is a poster child for narcissistic abuse). Trump’s not one of those intelligent or effective psychos. He’s also a buffoon.

The Barbarians ARE the gates

To Pete Hegseth:  Livestreaming executions didn’t play well for Damien Lewis.  It didn’t help his acting career and it was used as a metaphor for a failed, repressive regieme.   You don’t read and you you’re too drunk and ADHD to sit through a 27 minute sit-com, but could you please watch that episode and then immediately walk back your disgusting blather.   Recall that TV shows are western propaganda.  You are talking about this for real.  In the eyes of the world you have positioned your country and yourself as far more barbarian than ANY ayatollah.    Who the fuck are you?  Even your mother who sees truth didn’t anticipate this.    More than half the country thinks the death penalty is state-sponsored homicide, and we see the US as one of the most retarded and retrograde regimes.  You want to pull the trigger yourself on social media. ...

Remembering Orpheus and Hadestown

I saw Hadestown when it opened off Broadway…was it Playwrights Horizon?  I don’t remember but I had a subscription.  By the end of Act 1, my ex and I agreed…”this one is going somewhere.”    Hades’ bass.  Knowing that we all live in the underworld and seeing it illustrated beautifully before us.  The New Orleans swing band.    I believe it was 2016.  The show closed…and then reappeared, improved…on Broadway.   I just watched the 2026 filming of the London production of Hadestown.  Film and theater at the level of Nicolas Nickelby .   Top tier. What a cast…what extraordinary production values…the muses, Persephone down in her cups shaking it.  Even the tenor is interesting!   Why do we build the wall?  For freedom…   Why do we hurt each other?  Because we keep our heads down and forget our names. ...

Why can't Schmitt simply laugh it off and admit he made a mistake?

There’s a single reason---   First, if he backs down and admits that he can’t keep February 2 and February 3 straight—and that he does shoddy research—and that he doesn’t know dogshit about basketball—think how little impact it would have.  It would be a funny forgotten moment and the whole world wouldn’t witness him making an asshole out of himself.  (Why do we pay senators a salary—they don’t do anything except pull the lever they’re told to pull.)   But no—he can’t back down.  Toxic masculinity on display.  Here’s why:  If he backed down from calling Smith a villain and dirtbag, Trump would cut him off.  Leave him dangling.  No invites to Mar a Lago.  Exposure of all his dirty laundry.   Schmitt is a terrified tool.  Not a villain or a dirtbag (his favorite vocabulary words, apparently).  Schmitt is a victim of bullying.   Schmitt is a fledgling narcis...
