maxrandb's JournalThe normalizing just keeps marching on
The reflecting pool shitshow is just the same as the "birther, election fraud, Iran, Venezuela, COVID, 'never touched her', 'I know more then the generals', 'I'm the most honest person'" shitshows.
In each of those examples, AND MANY MORE, he has lied his fucking ass off and relied on the "press" to obfuscate for him.
Just look at what is happening now.
Serious people are wasting serious time and effort refuting absolute bullshit.
Serious people are pointing out how it's impossible for this swampy goatrope to have been caused by vandalism.
Give it 48 hours, and the Reflecting Pool fiasco will just become another in a long line of "he said-she said" obfuscations.
We used to say; "a lie can travel around the world before the truth gets its pants on".
In this case, and many others, the truth is fully dressed, yet the press and the people still insist on giving the lie a ride.
He, and the Retrumplicans will keep lying to America UNTIL THE FUCKING MEDIA STOPS PLAYING THEIR FUCKING "IT COULD BE THIS...IT COULD BE THAT, HE SAID-SHE SAID" FUCKING BULLSHIT.
The reason he believes he can get away with this LIE, is BECAUSE THE FUCKING PRESS HAS NEVER HELD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL HIS PREVIOUS LIES.

?si=qWzIQcA-PbOcHuJFIt's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
If RFK Jr is hired to clean the Reflecting Pool
?si=tQcJzrhv6pf4pyjgIt would be appropriate if Donnie Dipshits Reflecting Pool doesn't reflect
After all, vampires don't have a reflection.
Why Democrats can and should ignore the Platner accusations
After so many years of this stuff, it gets exhausting. I feel like we're a bunch of toddlers, constantly sticking forks in a live electrical socket, despite getting zapped over and over again.
I am not saying that "character doesn't matter", but it's a hill we choose to die on, again and again.
In a way, it's as simple as this: Dems have set the standard that "ANY" appearance of impropeiety is disqualifying, therefore, all Retrumplicans need to do is lodge an accusation.
It's as if we think we're electing choirboys, or someone I'd want to date my daughter. If that's what we think. FDR, JFK and Bill Clinton would like a word.
Our history is rife with great, exceptional and successful leaders that are flawed human beings in their personal lives.
I remember something that a great leader I worked for in the Navy said:
"What is important is that you do the right thing. We have all of these standards and regulations and expectations of your professional behavior, because blood has been spilled to write them. We didn't just think that your bootlaces need to be tucked in your boots when we put the anchor underfoot. We do that because, years ago, some Sailor got his laces tangled in the anchor chain as it dropped and was pulled through the hawspipe in pieces.
I don't care if you do the right thing because you have some moral code. I don't care if you do the right thing because you're looking for advancement and money. I don't care if you do the right thing to avoid shaming your family...I only care that you do the right thing!
Civil society only survives if the majority of mankind does the right thing, and it doesn't matter if they do so because of their own moral code, or out of selfishness, or the fear of becoming scorned and shamed by civil society.
That's the most disgusting and dangerous thing Donnie Dipshits reign of terror has done. Retrumplicans are done even "pretending" that character matters. It's fucking anything goes for them.
I don't know if there is any truth to the accusations about Platner...and neither do you, but I know a few things for a fact
- Democratic and Independent voters that elect him, WILL HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE.
- Retrumplicans and Independent voters that elect Susan Collins will NEVER hold her accountable.
- He won't support armed ICE goons or the National Guard decending on cities and polls in Maine.
- He won't be a rubberstamp for justices like Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett.
If we want to save civil society, we better start defeating Retrumplicans who don't give a rats-ass about doing the right thing.
If you truly want character to matter again, we must defeat Retrumplicans EVERYWHERE.
The best way to send the message that "character matters" is to send Susan Collins to the ash-heep of history, because pretending that character matters is just as important as character itself.
Retrumplicans are done even pretending, and that infects and impacts EVERY human encounter.
You don't give a "blank" about National Security if you reject Bill Pulte
WHEN YOU ALREADY APPROVE TULSI "FUCKING" GABBARD!!Seriously, that's like saying the risotto at Jeffrey Dahmer's was fine, but the Steak Tartar is a bridge too far.
I'm pissed at the desecration of our Democracy, but I'm apoplectic that our country is being destroyed by such a fucking moron as Donnie Dipshit.
I thought it would take someone intelligent, hard-working, clever and accomplished...but all it took was a fucking moron.
ROTFLMAO - John "you slimy walrus looking piece of shit" Bolton pleads guilty
I'm all out of fucks to give.
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/04/bolton-guilty-plea-trump-national-security-advisor.html
Bolton, who is now a strong critic of Trump, faces a sentence of up to 60 months in prison and a fine of $2.25 million as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors on the single felony count, according to MS NOW.
The only people who were exposed to the secret information were his wife and daughter, according to a source cited by the outlet.
CNBC has requested comment from Bolton’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, and from the Justice Department.

Happy 87TH Birthday Ian Hunter
?si=IHJuyum5x9BALG5lData Centers are Sports Arenas on steroids
So, a billionaire sports team owner wants a "new" stadium for their team. Happens all the time. The "old" billionaire dollar stadium doesn't have enough luxury boxes, or the latest "bells and whistles"...maybe it doesn’t have a dome in a town with a lot of winter weather. Of course, all those luxury boxes and bells and whistles are to "enhance the experience of the teams hard-scrabble, salt of the earth fans". You know, those "average Joe's" that can plop down 5 figures to take the family to the game...plus parking.
Well, this billionaire will pony up a "little" bit of money, but public money and tax breaks are needed to make the project "doable".
For that public money, plus infrastructure, electricity and water, sewage and other utilities, the people are "promised" that this will be an economic revitalization. Why, just think of the jobs created. Just think of the stores,restaurants, bars, nightlife and entertainment centers that will come from this new arena/stadium.
But don't worry, if the team sucks, or the owner makes a bad investment, he'll just move the team to the next city he can bestow with such a great economic revitalization opportunity.
Seems to me, that just like sports arenas and stadiums, if Data Centers are such an economic, can't fail, profitable venture, then why aren't the billionaires providing the needed infrastructure and utilities required out of their own pocket?
Happy 81ST Birthday Pete Townshend!
