Charles Blow: "God bled. And once you see God bleed, you can no longer believe that someone is God."
Charles Blow of The New York Times thinks that the Teflon which seemed to appear around Number 45 may be gone.Years, decades, of twisted propaganda had turned working-class white people into a victimized class. These white people saw themselves as the new Negro, in a turned-tables alternate reality. Society’s rules threatened to — or, had already begun to — work against them.
Trump, the trickster and rule-breaker, emerges as an amalgamation of their anxieties and rebellion. He was a politician, but to them, above politics. The Donald was approaching deity. His followers embraced a cultish zealotry.
But things have changed.
Trump’s announcement of a third run for the White House landed with a thud. High-profile Republicans have refused to sign on as early endorsers. Trump himself is cloistered at Mar-a-Lago, having not held a single public campaign event since his announcement. In fact, he has been reduced to the low and laughable position of personally hawking digital trading cards of himself. (Trump has always seen his die-hard supporters as customers to whom he could sell a product, whether a candidacy or a card.) [...]
So, what happened? In short, God bled. And once you see God bleed, you can no longer believe that someone is God.

"[T]he central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed."
"None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him."

"Perhaps I will never see Yuriy from Zhytomyr again, but, the weight of his words will stay with me"
Dec 20
On the train to Kyiv yesterday I sat with a soldier who had recovered from his injuries and was starting the journey back to the front. I just sat and listened for hours. Perhaps I will never see Yuriy from Zhytomyr again, but, the weight of his words will stay with me forever.
Lasting words: “It’s not Putin who scares me. It’s the Russian nation that found it easier to pick up guns and kill, torture, rape innocent people in Ukraine rather than build a better country for themselves back home.”

Gosar was texting Stop the Steal allies from lockdown at the Capitol.
In an @January6thCmte interview, Alexander Bruesewitx is asked why he thought @RepGosar sent the entire Stop the Steal group a message at 5:15 PM on January 6, 2021 that said, "We're still on lockdown in the congressional office."

Mr. Ducey, tear down this wall!
🚨Just like that, Arizona folds! Before Governor Ducey even leaves office, Arizona agrees to tear down the shipping containers it illegally put up as a “wall—and fast! The state says it will tear down its “wall” by January 4, in just a couple weeks! twitter.com/rdevro/status/…

Through darkness always comes light.
Kiel Germany 1931, Rachel Posner and her husband Rabbi Akiva Posner take this photo of their family Hanukkah Menorah from the window ledge of their family home directly across the street from Nazi headquarters. It is defiance and fortitude in their rawest form.
This photo is a reminder that through darkness always comes light. Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating, may it be filled with unexpected blessings. 🕎
A friend posted on FB, I thought it was worth sharing today even though I believe I have seen it on DU before.
peace, kp
