All of this.
A truly glorious rant to enjoy over your morning coffee!
And now your media, your politicians, your talking heads, your reporters have the unmitigated fucking gall to breathe A GODDAMNED WORD about UNITY?
Let me tell you all something: fuck unity on your terms. Fuck your empty gestures. Fuck your continued obstruction, corruption, racism, and nihilism. I am done. I am fucking done. I cant believe YOUR senate MINORITY LEADER (lmao, btw) thinks he can straight up filibuster the rules that will govern the new senate. I cant believe, after he rushed a supreme court nomination IN A FUCKING WEEK, he is now thwarting the will of the voters of not only Georgia, but every democrat who voted in every senate election accross the country. In the words of the great Greta Thunberg HOW DARE YOU?
Unless and until you convict and bar Trump from ever holding office again, expel the seditionists from your ranks, and start cooperating in government for the good of the country, not for the good of your fucking caucus, not for the good of the GOP (that needs to be retired, btw), not for the good of Donald J. Trump, but for the good of the country, there will be no unity. Accountability, self reflection, and true remorse precede unity. Without it, its not unity, it is once again the republicans pursuing absolute power as a ends itself. And THAT you fucking assholes, is what lead to the rise of the neo-fascist monster in your ranks that you now cannot control.
So fuck your version of unity. Because it leads to fascism. And we arent doing performative unity as appeasement to you traitorous assholes. WE WON THIS ELECTION. FUCKING CRY ABOUT IT

Brava!!!
THIS IS WHY CHANGE IS NECESSARY.

When folks dont understand why its a big deal that Harris is the Vice President(no matter your political affiliation), its helpful to use a simple visual aid.
See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved.
See the blue box? Until then, she couldnt vote.
The yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school.
And the green one? Until then she couldnt have her own bank account.

I will not bore you with my Emily Pankhurst rant, but trust me I have one that I save for young women who work for me. It starts with you will vote if you work for me dammit, and let me tell you why... LOL... Why the fuck would this idiot think if they took away her right to vote she would be allowed a gun? The sisterhood is lacking me thinks. Education needs to be restored asap.
We vote in our best interests, oh what a surprise that is not the patriarchy that is entrenched in the republican party. Oh my!
Handmaids anyone?

On the bright side - one more day...
Oh my good grief. Emotional! I will show you emotional...

With apologies to Johnny Cash
Trump is a burning thing
And he shits a fiery ring
Bound by hatred wild
The cult fell into a ring of fire
They fell into a burning ring of fire
They went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of hate is dour
With hearts of vileness sour
They fell for him like the hating racist white supremacist fuckers that they are, and
Oh, but the fire went wild
People that served at the Mad Fascist Kings feet and grabbed the tawdry crumbs from his table are today sobbing under the table at what is about to happen... Marvellous I say!
They are all going to fall into the bigly burning ring of sedition fire
AP is reporting today that:
Members of President Donald Trumps failed presidential campaign played key roles in orchestrating the Washington rally that spawned a deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol, according to an Associated Press review of records, undercutting claims the event was the brainchild of the presidents grassroots supporters.
A pro-Trump nonprofit group called Women for America First hosted the Save America Rally on Jan. 6 at the Ellipse, an oval-shaped, federally owned patch of land near the White House. But an attachment to the National Park Service public gathering permit granted to the group lists more than half a dozen people in staff positions for the event who just weeks earlier had been paid thousands of dollars by Trumps 2020 reelection campaign. Other staff scheduled to be on site during the demonstration have close ties to the White House.

White racist privileged supremacists are really good at gaslighting communities into thinking that their positions should not be met with the utter contempt they deserve, because they are male pale stale and privileged. They have pulled this off for so long they are rather bewildered that in 2021, people are telling them to do one, that their fascistic tendencies are no longer up for polite debate as if they should ever have been a real thing. Fascists and racists calling for unity like it is 1950 and harmony means keeping white male privileged supremacy happy no matter the cost to everyone else who is not just like them. Well, not today, buttercups.

There can never be common ground with fascists...

This week has been a shocker in the UK on so many levels. I was listening to our not very illustrative Foreign Secretary Raab today on Marr and he denied that the fishing industry are having any significant issues getting the fish they are still allowed to catch to their markets in Europe. In the face of all evidence to the contrary he decided live on the BBC that he would just deny the evidence of his eyes and ears and lie.
They lied to get the fishermen to vote overwhelmingly for Brexit. They were conned into believing that ruling the waves again could be an actual thing in a 21st century global economy, and now as their goods lay rotting at the ports, well, at least the fish are happy.
This was always going to happen. It is the same with Trump and the republicans, all gaslight, bluster and bollocks. That anyone ever thought that these privileged wankers could make a success of Brexit is beyond me. No strategies, no structures, no planning, no effective governance, just a strapline as ridiculous as we are Empire and Rule Britannia that should do it chaps

Had success written all over it. 👀
They gaslighted the fishing industry but, hey, at least the British fish are happy...

Tying for that honour... Trump
Dustin Higgs becomes 13th and final federal prisoner executed under Trump
Of course all that is dwarfed by the killing of Americans by the entire administration due to utter and total incompetence, ineptitude, malevolent cynicism, and not giving one actual shit by anyone other has led to infections and death rates many of which could have been avoidable.

Now don't get me wrong. This is a pandemic. People would have died anyway even there was an administration that was competent and cared. So let us be generous to Javanka, President Cheeto, The Stepford Veep and all of their enablers and say that as America knocks on the door of 400,000 deaths, 50% would have occurred anyway... that means they killed 200,000 of their fellow citizens, because they did not care enough to even try. And I think I am being very generous.
Heh. Not just a death cult. Serial Killers the lot of them!
The so very exclusive serial killer cult of the far right...
