    And here’s my hot take: we’re lucky that Trump won in 2016. Yes, you read that right, stay with me here.
    Trumpism, and the Christian white nationalist authoritarian movement, were like a deadly tumor growing inside our head. We (including me) tried for a long time to tell ourselves that the frequent headaches were normal, and hey, who DOESN’T have a seizure now and then?
    Then, in 2016, we suffered a traumatic head injury. It required a full scan of our skull, to see everything that was going on. And holy shit, while we were just checking to see if there was a brain bleed or not, we discovered a giant brain tumor that is well on the way to killing us.
    Will we be able to excise it? Will we survive this cancer? Who knows…yall know I’m not optimistic. But 2016 at least gave us a clear diagnosis and the info we need to pursue a path to treatment and hopefully a cure.
    Is our body politic up for that? Jury is out. Things still look pretty grim. But at least we’re not in the dark about the nature and extent of our disease.

    I respectfully disagree. The 2016 election resulted in a GOP supreme court and the overturn of roe v. wade. That will have terrible effects on women’s healthcare for the foreseeable future.

    My 20-something brother-in-law is proudly “extremely right wing”. His idiot churchy wife got IVF, and they lost their baby when she was pregnant. This happened before roe v. wade was overturned. I listened to her tell of her heartbreak and couldn’t not think about how their voting was damaging her future reproductive healthcare.

    I was going to vote for RFKjr however I might be voting for Trump now.

    Enterprising entrepreneurs take note. There’s plenty of money to be made off of people that think like this. 30% of the voting population are die hards. That’s lots of revenue.

    You forgot the 8-0 beatdown, first-ever WCWS complete-game shut-out, we delivered to the Stanford trees in softball.

    Well.. not exactly. I’m a dirty ass sooner. I intentionally left off the sooner beatdown of duke and the texas beat down of the trees.

    But it’s been such a great day… Hook ‘em!

    The gals just got picked up for a short East Coast summer tour with the great Sleater-Kinney!  I'm not sure which show(s) I'm going to, but I'm going for sure.  Unreal.

  5. Headed to Seattle on Sun for the Tues and Thurs pearl jam shows.

    On Monday, we’re driving to Paradise around Mt Rainier to check out the sites and maybe do a short hike. Stopping at Copper Creek Inn for a blackberry milkshake on the way back to Seattle. Thanks to the surly collaborative braintrust for this recommendation.

    On Wed, we’re taking the ferry to bainbridge island to check out breweries and poulsbo. Then taking in a Mariners game on Wed evening.

    The surly braintrust gave plenty of restaurant recs. Looking forward to great seafood, sushi and asian food.

    If I don’t blow my wad before my flight back to dallas, I’ll hit the sub pop shop at the Seattle airport.

    Believe it or not, Trick Trick is like, the OG and one of those IYKYK type minor celebrities in the streets that has a ton of cache in Detroit. Eminem and those guys pay homage and defer to him. A good analog might be to think like, Big Meech in Atlanta. Or the leader of the Crips that Snoop defers to, etc.

    This post makes me feel old AF

    The only thing they hate worse than libtards is losing to the libtards.

    Think about all of the Republican on Republican attacks we've seen over the last year, complete with the House Speaker batshittery.  

    When Trump loses again, shit will go down within the GQP - either it will be vicious and brief and Trumpanzees will be purged from leadership positions, or they'll try to give Trump a pseudo-victory lap, with the understanding that he and his family is out of power.  They aren't going to let a Trump hang around and emptying the RNC coffers for another four years after he loses this November - the down-ballot Republicans will revolt.  He will be the first Republican in a while to have his term book-ended by 8-year stretches of Democrats in the White House.  And the BMDs ain't going to let one of his sons, whether it's Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum, take over.

     

     

    The messaging for a loss has been hammered into magadiots for four years.

    stollen election

    Come Nov 6, the cult will say dotard didn’t lose regardless of the results.

  8. I saw the crowes last month in DFW. They put on a great show.

    Chris has a mirror on stage so that he can watch himself dance. It may be the most vain thing I’ve ever seen.  But, he acknowledges his vanity during the show. Which is nice.
