She has to wrap her head around two Coup of Fools. Here and in Brazil. She has family in Brazil. She is really pissed off.

I remind her fascism always fails in the end. I remind her both coups were the Coup of Fools. They both failed.

5. To think the number one export of the US is now right wing horseshit.

I was looking at the pictures and footage from Brazil and it's scary to think that they have the same group of right wing conspiracy theorist lunatics that we do. And that Steve Bannon and Jason Miller may have been involved.

7. As long as they think they can overthrow the most powerful

governmrnt on Earth by taking over a building, the only ones who have to worry about it are the people who work in that building.
