Touched
By An Asshole
RICO charges, with Trump's name prominently displayed in
several locations, were handed down in Georgia today! Calloo-callay!
And the temperature finally stayed under 100 degrees in Dallas
for the first time in three weeks. I'm thinkin' Satan lost
a fantasy politics wager on Trump. [smile]

Stop me if you've heard this but there are few things in
this world of which there is a greater likelihood of becoming
irrelevant to conservatives and right-wing media
after
November 5th, 2024 than the Hunter Biden story.
Call me crazy.
--------------
Tinfoil Hat Theatre Time.
Louisiana used to be a reliably Blue state. Then hurricane
Katrina came along and Black people were ushered out of the
state in huge numbers because their homes were destroyed
after the
levees blew.
The business district remained largely unaffected, though.
One could almost be led to believe that a
precision military attack was made on that section of the
levee.
Lest you think I'm waxing too conspiratorial here there's
plenty to reconsider about Dubya's response to Katrina,
which was, essentially, nothing. He left to go to a birthday
party as waters were rising in New Orleans (Almost like
Dubya going
to Florida to read to schoolchildren on 9-11. Just a coincidence.).
No FEMA, no full-on effort to stem the breech, only a lot
of
"Good
job,
Brownie" propaganda.
And let's not forget Barbara Fucking
Bush wandering amidst the hundreds of displaced Louisianans
crammed into the Astrodome and commenting "This
is working out very well for the underprivileged anyway."
After the waters receded public schools untouched by the
flood were bulldozed for unknown reasons, though who'd want
to raise kids where there are no schools?
Louisiana subsequently became a Red state. I don't know if
losing much of its Black population was totally responsible
for the sudden switch but, to me, there is certainly a connection.
I bring this up because Hawaii is a famously Blue state and
it just lost a major town to fire. I'm not suggesting the
victims may all be displaced to Salt Lake City, like many
in New Orleans were, but I'll bet the smoking remains of
that town is now squarely in the gun-sights
of
rich, conservative developers.
Which makes the
Lahaina fires intriguing, and suspicious, to me. It's
not impossible to think the fires were intentionally set
but Fox News and its media kin are making the very idea ludicrous
by painting
it
as an attack
by "Jewish space lasers".
Yes, I know what I sound like but I've seen and heard all
of this before. Like Hillary's servers, Biden's "pedophilia",
WMDs, single-bullet theories, and vague explanations about
buildings mysteriously collapsing
into their own footprint. It's all misdirection. It's fear,
uncertainty,
and doubt.
So, yeah, maybe it
WAS just a freak fire event but the proof
will be in how the town is rebuilt. Will it be the friendly,
low-slung
tourist trap it used to be or will it be hundreds of brand
new, multi-million dollar beach front mansions in the hands
of hedge-fund managers and oil barons?
