I had a good day today, running around and catching up on a whole lot of errands I missed doing the last couple weeks when I was out of town on the weekend.

I rocked this everywhere.   

I got called out a couple times during the day(at Home Depot, and while filling up gas),  but I just gave them a blank look, and said “No entiendo, gusano!”

Kind of curious what the call outs were. Like  were people mad they thought maga before reading it or they read it and appreciated the fake out?

No, mostly informing me that Trump won the election and that I needed to get over it.   And one comment about “Black Lives Matter winding up in body bags if they rioted again.”

 Essentially what you’d expect.

Goddamn! I expected anger if it was the fakeout but that’s pretty dark.

There were about 15 of that guy at the Beau Rivage.  Trust me when I say that you haven't lived until you've bluffed a pot off of one of them and shown your rags.

As a parent of a young child, I worry about that on a daily basis.

We’ve worked hard to build a good life for ourselves and provide a good future for our kid here, but maybe that was all for naught. I’m constantly doing the mental calculus on what it would mean to start from scratch in new country. Leave our family and friends, give up our jobs, our home, everything that’s ever been considered normal to us. How bad does American life have to get before pulling that ripcord?

I’m angry about the open oppression of minorities, immigrants, and trans people. I’m angry that our president talks about claiming Greenland by any means necessary and tries to rewrite history about Putin’s war on Ukraine. I’m angry that the orange man thinks tariffs are a viable economic strategy. I’m angry that education and medicine and science and the rule of law are under attack. I’m angry that our congress has rolled over and does nothing to slow the power grab of the executive branch.

As bad as those things are, what really concerns me is the possibility of economic ruin, civil war, revolution, or just the general idea that America has forsaken its values. That’s not a future I want for my child.

It blows my mind that I have to worry about that, but here we are.

I've thought about that a lot too.  The thing I keep coming back to is the US was always the bastion of democracy, the leader of the free world.  How long will it take for the other democracies to fall and the whole world turn into regions split up amongst the oligarchs, like mob gangs and turf wars?   As uphill as it seems, staying and trying to right the ship, reinforce it with better protection from internal threats is probably quicker back to democracy than letting the whole world fall into fascism.   It could take us 2 to 3 generations to recover, but the other way, I just don't see any recovery, considering how the morons want to burn through our resources at breakneck speed which just drives us faster to climate change disaster.

The shining city on the hill is burning all around us and too many Americans are mistaking the fire for the light.

When there is nothing left to burn, we will find ourselves well into the new Dark Ages.

Oceania falls under Pacific. Same with DOD.

Africa is DOA. It now reports to the White House Security Council outside of State.

The state dept wouldn't be responsible for relations with the 51st state. Well, actually Canada would become a US-territory, like Puerto Rico, to keep them from voting.

I believe Maldives was under African Affairs.

Australia according to DOD is Indo-Pacom. State is using their map vs. the one they had. For instance, North Africa for DOD is part of CENTCOM. For State it was African Affairs.

Can we just fast forward to the part where it becomes mandatory for all elementary schools to teach that the Clinton's, Obama, and Biden conspired together to do a 9/11, and, when it didn't work to destroy the country, they immediately started planning COVID. Why delay the inevitable.

Agree.  Lets spend the rest of 2025 and all of 2026 having hearings on this.  Then lets spend 2027 with hearings on Hilllary’s emails and 2028 talking about Hunter’s hog dong.  We might somehow survive if we do this.
