Tulsi Gabbard is quite literally a Russian agent. This is not speculation. Even Russia says this.

This is incredibly bad. And people who thought Trump was going to help Ukraine: LOL.

To My US People

The next four years are gonna be some of the craziest shit most of y’all have ever seen. I’ve already lived in some places that are a bit unhinged so I’ve seen some things.

But you have no idea what’s about to hit. Just wait till it does and then think of me. The crazy train is leaving the station. Destination: Bedlam and Breakdown.

I don’t know what you do about a country where millions of people believe things that are factually untrue. That aren’t even close to reality.

We’re not talking about opinions here. I mean things like: vaccines are safe and effective. This is a scientific fact beyond question — as much as anything can be. There are thousands of reliable studies of this. Millions and millions of observable outcomes. But that doesn’t matter to people’s feelings about it.

This phenomenon of not believing clearly-demonstrated facts is not unique to the right, of course. They have no monopoly, but certainly the majority of the worst of being fact-proof is now on that side.

There probably is no actual solution to this. Just me grousing. Getting rid of Fox News and similar would help, but even that would only put a small dent in the problem.

House Rules

Elon Musk as Speaker of the House?

Reminder: The Speaker of the House does not have to be a member of the House of Representatives.

Just trying to think of nightmare scenarios here. Since it’s more amusing than just stewing.

That’s right. Also, when Hillary was running if you were anything less than insanely supportive of her you were called a “BernieBro.” I voted for Hillary in 2016, by the way. I still got called a “BernieBro” numerous times because I said she was a widely-disliked candidate the Dems should’ve never run and that no one deserves to win. That they have to earn it. Hillary supporters went absolutely batshit about this.

Despite people’s poor memories, I believe all of this had at least some effect. And that men have certainly been demonized lately in many quarters in general. Too much of feminism has come around to believing that anything bad that happens to a woman, a man somehow caused it no matter the actual cause. Combine this with social media-caused mental illness that many women are burdened with, it’s no wonder there is a backlash to all of that.

Lacking Smacking

A good sign that most people are in fact clown-ass dipshits (whether on the right or the left) is that their opinion on the health of economy undergoes a 180 degree shift the minute someone of the opposite political party become president. And that is with no changes in the economy itself, of course.

Critical thinking altogether lacking. How do people live like that?
