Don't
Sweat the Small Stuff
"Haven't seen a new cartoon from you in some time,
me lad. Where've you been?"
"Oh, just a personal existential crisis brought
on by a treasonous political party, their pig-ignorant,
racist voters and a media that values profit over common
decency."
"Ah... well.... carry on, then."

A Twitterer posed the question: "If money was no
object where would you live?"
My answer: "On a goldilocks planet populated by
all the brightest people I could convince to leap through
the worm-hole with me."
Extrapolate the rest for yourself.

If Europe had emerged from the mists of time as a single,
unified country that embraced the same language and customs
I
think the
world
would be a much more peaceful place.
Instead, through
a quirk of geography, it became a laboratory on how to
kill each
other very efficiently.

When Senator Blackburn asked Judge Jackson her definition
of the word "woman" she should have replied:
"Our brains ultimately define who we are, in the
same way that many men here believe that having a penis
makes them
smart."

The question observers of Putin's invasion of Ukraine have
been asking themselves is "Why? Why now?"
I think we have the definitive answer.
A poll was released today showing that Trump would beat
Biden in a rematch in 2024. This is largely a reflection
of Putin's invasion.
By invading Ukraine
oil prices went up and gas prices skyrocketed. Add to
this a general sense of fear of nuclear attack among
voters. Since
NATO could not enter the fray without starting a world
war, something too many Americans don't understand, Biden
could be portrayed as "weak" by right-wing media for
not using the full weight of U.S. military might.
Putin doesn't have to conquer Ukraine, but that's not
his goal. The goal is the end of NATO. And if Trump wins
the election he'll pull America out of the organization.
All Putin will have lost is a few thousand conscripts
and some older equipment. What he'll gain is the U.S.
government, and thus the world, in his pocket.

In addition, if Biden is out of the picture in 2024 Trump
runs against Kamala Harris, and current polls indicate
she'll be curb-stomped by
a deadly
combo
of
misogyny and racism. (And if someone like Sheldon Whitehouse
enters the presidential fray Democrats will lose the
Black vote.)
Now consider that we only have Kamala
as VP because
of BLM,
and we had BLM because of George Floyd, and we had George
Floyd because Officer Chauvin performed a very peculiar
and very obvious and very public execution of a Black
man.
And if Trump gets the chance to pardon him, he will,
for a job well done.
