I lied!

Here's some COWBELL, BABY! Dig on it!

Good Morning, Everybody!

Remember that every day you wake up alive is a good day.

Now let’s go fight the good fight.

We all know that Trump is a petty sumbitch who hates Obama with every atom in his blubbery body

But I wonder if he even knows WHY he hates Obama so much. I look at this guy and I say to myself that, where we're going, we need to get ready for when we all get there.

Consider the trajectory here: It's quite clear that Trump wouldn't know the truth even if it bit his flabby ass, but he also suffers from an extreme degree of low self-esteem, he retains a mediocre intellect, he skirts all responsibility for his own actions, he has no moral center whatsoever and he's utterly lazy and irresponsible... But is he even capable of the kind of self-reflection which could also allow himself to understand his own motivations?

I doubt it, though, because I've never seen such an unrepentant ignoramus before in my entire life. He's obviously someone who's skirted though life without any effort on his own part and was simply told by sycophants how great he was... And he believed every word of it, because all he values in life are the opinions of others. It's like he has no capacity to reason whatsoever and he's instead, nothing but ALL reaction. I wonder sometimes if he even knows what he's doing or saying at any given time. And yet, he's singularly focused on hating on Obama... Why?

Obama, and Hillary by extension of her position of heir apparent, are always living rent free in Trump's empty head. He inserts both into his language out of context at the drop of a hat. Yes, we all know how racist and sexist he is, but he's so specific about it, in always focusing on Obama and Hillary.

Is he just jealous of their own considerable and well established intellect and accomplishments?

Is Trump so fucking ignorant that he has no idea how ignorant he actually is, and yet, feels that he has to compensate for his own shortcomings by rendering others?

Is just nothing more than a fucking asshole?

I have no idea.

I do understand, however, that he's completely unfit to be President of the United States and presents an existential threat to each and every one of us. He's being protected by a combination of partisan politics and the urge to normalize his behavior as a means to an end. What he is, though, is a failure of our entire political system. Someone this flawed should not only had been elected, he should have never been considered suitable to enter any major political party as a viable candidate.

He's not the cause, he's merely the symptom of an even greater problem that this country has. This country is too fucked up for its own good. And I blame the gawddamn Republicans, the uberwealthly motherfuckers who pay for them AND all the regressive dipshits who vote for them. They've been allowed to get away with murder for far too long, without any consequences for their own actions.

Well, it's about time that the chickens come home to roost for all of them. We can fight them, and we should, be we won't be able to completely beat them. And that's where Trump, and his Tuttle inability to understand why he does the things he does. The one sure thing that we all know about Trump is that he ALWAYS stabs those who support him in the back. One should only trust Trump at their own peril. He's going to be the worst thing to happen to the far right... ever. Although we're all going to feel some pain here, that's inevitable, I figure that we all have to take that fall in order to move beyond it. We can resist and we should, but I'm afraid that we're beyond the tipping point here.

The system is too rigged and the motherfuckers who rigged it can't see beyond their own noses.

When the shit does hit then fan, the left needs to step in and reform and refashion the system. We've had three attempts after winger failures of the past, the most successful one being the New Deal and the latest being Obama's presidency, however the winger backlashes only took us two steps back. In the next recovery, we need to take it even farther. We need to fix the system which was so broken that allowed an unfit assclown like Trump to get his stubby fingers on the nuke codes.

We need a fucking plan and we need to work together. Shit's going down the pike, we need to be prepared.

What do you all say?


FDT.

Its now official

The GOP is the party of rape, sexism, racism, sexual assault and child molestation.

Trump has officially endorsed Roy Moore.

It’s all together in one neat little package.

Here's an article about the Mayor of Jackson, MS and one of my distant cousins, Chokwe Antar Lumumba

Is This the Most Radical Mayor in America?
Chokwe Antar Lumumba has an audacious plan to make Jackson, Mississippi, the “most radical city on the planet.”

Jackson, Mississippi—The first thing I see when I walk into the mayor’s office here is an easel with an artist’s rendering of a movie theater. At one time, this city had nearly a dozen, including the Alamo, a Streamline gem on Farish Street, the center of segregated Jackson’s black business district, where a diet of westerns and second-run features shared the stage with B.B. King, Louis Jordan, and Nat King Cole. But Farish Street today is deserted, and Jackson—the capital of Mississippi, with a population roughly the size of Fort Lauderdale or Providence, Rhode Island—has not a single cinema inside the city limits.
“Most people don’t see the value in what you’re trying to build until you build it,” says Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Jackson’s mayor. “Once you build it, then people see the value in it.” Tall and slender, with a neatly trimmed beard, Lumumba explains that while previous administrations have tried—and failed—to entice national cinema chains back to downtown, he plans to tackle the problem from a different angle.

“My vision is that the city use its bully pulpit to encourage the development of cooperative businesses,” he continues. “So it would be more than just a movie theater. The city wouldn’t own it—it wouldn’t be socialism in that sense. But we can write a check that will go into a nonprofit organization…”

Elected in June with 93 percent of the vote, Lumumba lit up the left press with his promise—delivered later that month in a speech at the People’s Summit in Chicago—to make Jackson “the most radical city on the planet.”

When I tease the mayor about trying to build socialism in one city, Lumumba laughs, then comes back with: “I recently had the opportunity to go to Barcelona and talk with the mayor there about the cooperative businesses that they’ve developed over time.” FC Barcelona, as every soccer fan knows, is owned and operated by its supporters. It also happens to be one of the most successful sports franchises in the world.

Lumumba tells me he’s more of an American-football fan. His political inspiration, too, lies a lot closer to home. “Cooperatives are not a new idea. Fannie Lou Hamer used to talk about cooperative businesses, cooperative farms, as one of the ways poor people could pool their resources to further their goals. And when you look at the United States, Ace Hardware is a cooperative. Land O’Lakes Butter is a cooperative. And what’s the greatest community-owned cooperative business? The Green Bay Packers!”

Green Bay, Wisconsin, Lumumba points out, is only two-thirds the size of Jackson. “So my view is that if the city of Green Bay can figure out how to own their own professional football team, we can figure out how to own a movie theater!”
