I don’t know where to put this so I guess I’m gonna put it here.
Waiting to pick up a part that I ordered online at a Ford dealership, I overheard one of those service-intake guys discussing his knowledge bomb about  Bill and Melinda Gates.

Apparently, we have all been as he put it “men in blacked” because Bill and Melinda Gates were actually murdered by ‘a tribe back in the day’. He remembers it (I don’t know how he escaped Will Smith and especially Tommy Lee Jones … this was in San Antonio after all) because ‘the President had to get involved’

Why were they murdered? Because the tribe members’ kids kept dying due to the vaccine (which he never specified) that Bill and Melinda Gates were giving administering.

He then challenged his coworkers to go look up Melinda Gates… well actually not. He never used Melinda Gates in his whole truth tellings. He just said ‘his wife.’
He challenged them to look her up because as his theory goes, she is actually being played by Robin Williams who isn’t dead but is playing her as a role / in disguise. 

So that happened. That really f’in happened. 

This man is allowed to hold gainful employment. He walks amongst us people.

This is the kind of idiocy that Trumpism encourages. This man has no shame in espousing his completely bashit theory. 

Worse still, no one at his job called him out on his obviously stupidity. 

This is why we don’t deserve democracy.

Was this at Maxwell in S Austin? Because back in the covid days, I picked up some parts at the counter there and the guy had covid/fauci conspiracy shit all over his desk.

Was it Michael Dell that murdered the Gateses?

You do this a lot with Trump (and the right in general) and I'm not sure it's something that you actually need to be doing? 

If I do, it's because I don't trust my subjective interpretation of what he said.  I'm biased against him, even if I/we may be right.

If what he actually said was horrible, I like to point that out.

Even at this stage of things, there's a fair amount of misquoting and taking things out of context, especially on social media.

I can't believe the dealer is OK with that.  Sure, maybe 95% of F150 drivers are MAGAts, any business catering to the public has to knw better than to alienate any portion of their customer base.

I rarely call my wife. Always text her, so in the rare event that I call she gets her hopes up for a few seconds. 

Anytime the overall internet is slower than usual or clunky as hell, I think "Well, maybe today's the day."

He literally said that Reiner was murdered because he hated Trump. The subtext of that, that doesn't take very long to reach, is that it's ok to murder people who don't like him. That's not misquoting, that's reading what he wrote.

I didn't say you did and it doesn't happen all that often with Trump anymore.

But there are various allegedly outrageous things posted on social media that just really aren't or are for different reasons.

Exactly.

He's not just dancing on an enemy's grave with those remarks.  They're a warning to others.  Go against me and someone will sort you out.  He probably thinks it was some sort of karma, like the universe will not allow him to be opposed.  POTUS is not a well man.

In his post this morning? Yeah he blamed his murder on Reiner’s “TDS”. I think it’s fair to make the connection.

To be fair... Trump's frame of reference is children who'd like to see their father dead.

I did not know about this when I was binge watching Spinal Tap and Spinal Tap II yesterday.  Sad to hear.

Saw an interview with him and his son from a few years ago where the son is really awkward.  Came off like a meathead.

Im just contrasting what he actually said with what he strongly implied, not arguing with you.  His literal words were bad enough.

I honestly don’t think any of DJT’s prose ever implies anything, it is literally all surface text and if he means to say something he will do so, explicitly and clumsily.

1.  Attack, Attack, Attack

2.  Deny everything

3.  No matter what, always declare victory.

Once again, it's in a fucking slightly above-average movie.

They couldn’t ship the part to your house?

I’m not paying $20-$30 shipping for my wife’s ford brongo cargo liner Christmas gift when I can drive 10 min down the road from work to pick it up for free.

Regarded service staff or not, I’ve got principles to uphold. 30% off Discount Code and free shipping to a dealer is the only way I can somewhat justify buying   this thing that my wife will ignore but also insists that it be OEM / say Bronco on it.

But that was so ridiculously regarded i questioned my decision. 
Again, this man is just walking among us.

I took some really damn strong mushrooms during Art Basel in miami and everyone seemed REALLY happy to me.  I started asking random people if ‘it’ happened.  Of course my friends knew what I was asking about and were laughing hysterically.  Sadly when I came to my senses, asshole was still stealing oxygen.   

Damn, I should have looked you up when I was down.

I, too have booze at the house.  But before I partake, I'm going to drive to my local liquor store, sit in the parking lot and see just how busy the place is.  

I have a feeling they will be crowded that day.

 

 

You may all be shocked to learn that I didn't see anyone else buying champagne at the Decatur, TX liquor store when I went to buy a bottle after Biden was declared the winner in 2020.

I wish I had your optimism.

We might get a nice 2018-ish result if the election is fair. I just don't see a massive wave sweeping this away. It is so entrenched both culturally and institutionally at this point.

My best retort to folks thinking a mid-term election matters in a fascist form of government would be to go and look at history and use it as a guide. A single election isn’t ending this. You have e to fight and claw your way through fascism until the eventual collapsing upon itself happens. That’s when you need to be prepared to step in and retake the government and start anew with a democracy. There is no magic cure here. You just resist and do your small part to reverse things. Once enough folks are doing that actively, meaning not just in opposing it mentally, then you can reclaim sanity and get out of this. Until then you just get up each day and do your best.

The Billionaires Have Gone Full Louis XV

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/opinion/billionaires-politics-money.html

"Billionaires had a great thing going. The ruling in the 2010 Citizens United case, among others, invited the super rich to exert all the influence on policy and politics that their money could buy — and then enjoy all the wealth that influence secured for them in return. Thanks to ever-more-obliging tax policies, the billionaire class grew absurdly rich over the years that followed. In the last five years alone, the wealthiest 20 Americans increased their net worth from $1.3 trillion to $3 trillion, Forbes reported.

And they did it in many cases without the rest of us even having a clue. It took the investigative reporter Jane Mayer five years of relentless digging to figure out how the Koch brothers gained a chokehold on the Republican Party. The title of her 2016 book, “Dark Money,” became synonymous with a particularly effective form of influence that was all but untraceable. The billionaires could have kept on like that forever. All they had to do was keep their mouths closed.

Today, billionaires are still flooding politics with their money and still reaping the benefits, but they won’t stop yapping about it.

Elon Musk bragged about his support for President Trump, to whose campaign and allied groups he donated more than $250 million. He loudly attempted to buy votes in Pennsylvania. Then he leveraged it all into a cruel and chaotic effort to dismantle federal agencies. Marc Andreessen’s tech-heavy venture capital firm publicly pledged $100 million to target lawmakers who attempt to regulate artificial intelligence; Mr. Andreessen then mocked the pope for suggesting some ethical guardrails around the technology. Bill Ackman announced that he and his pals were prepared to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat Zohran Mamdani, and urged Mr. Trump to call in the National Guard if that effort failed and Mr. Mamdani’s mayoralty met his worst expectations.

And all the while they’re out there lecturing us about their fitness routines, their weird personal philosophies, their conspicuous consumption and more. Jeff Bezos staged a three-day, celebrity-packed, $50 million wedding to Lauren Sánchez, the whole cringe affair optimized for global paparazzi interest. Mr. Ackman is advising young men to try the line, “May I meet you?”, a strategy that in his own experience, he says, “almost never got a no.” Owning the world isn’t enough for these people; they must also go in search of the cheap high of influencer culture.

But no amount of auramaxxing can hide the new reality. Just six years ago, 69 percent of respondents to a Cato Institute poll agreed that billionaires “earned their wealth by creating value for others.” An only slightly smaller majority agreed with the statement “we are all better off when people get rich.” Today, one poll after another shows that Americans want the rich to be taxed at higher, even much higher rates. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have attracted an increasingly large national following with an anti-billionaire message that previously would have sounded extremist. And New York City, the richest metropolis in the nation, just elected a democratic socialist who thinks billionaires shouldn’t exist at all.

The billionaires have only themselves to blame.

It’s as if the sheer scale of this wealth, which beggars even the riches of the Gilded Age, has induced a kind of class sociopathy. Peter Thiel, the crucial funder of JD Vance’s ascent, talks extensively about his desire to escape democracy (and politics generally) in favor of some kind of bizarre techno-libertarian future. Balaji Srinivasan, the investor and former crypto exec, calls for tech elites to take control of cities and states — or build their own — and run them as quasi-private entities. Alex Karp, who along with Thiel founded the high-flying military intelligence company Palantir, shares his predictions about an apocalyptic clash of civilizations, pausing to brag, “I think I’m the highest-ranked tai chi practitioner in the business world.” In another era, this would all be laughable. But as the MAGA moment emboldens them to drop any pretense of civic virtue and just go full will-to-power, their nutty ideas are now borderline plausible. And terrifying.

These people are whip smart. Why can’t they see how badly they’re coming off? Perhaps it’s because the superrich have allowed themselves to become increasingly isolated. An ever-more-stratified scale of luxury allows the staggeringly rich to avoid coming into contact with even the merely wealthy, let alone the rest of the world, “to glide through a rarefied realm unencumbered by the inconveniences of ordinary life,” as The Wall Street Journal reported. Chuck Collins, who gave away his family fortune and who now investigates inequality, describes it this way: “Wealth is a disconnection drug that keeps people apart from one another and from building authentic real connections and communities.”

Billionaires control the cable channels, social media platforms, newspapers, movie studios and essentially everything else that we consume, but for their own information sources they are in some cases more likely to trust their own kind. Semafor documented one ultraexclusive group chat that included Mr. Andreessen and Mr. Srinivasan, among others, in which the self-reinforcing discourse is reported to have pushed many Silicon Valley tycoons toward right-wing politics. “If you weren’t in the business at all,” the writer Thomas Chatterton Williams said of a similar group chat he was a member of, “you’d think everyone was arriving at conclusions independently.”

Such disconnection goes a long way to explaining why billionaires can’t grasp how the real world is convulsing outside their well-secured gates.

And convulsing it is. According to the most recent edition of an annual Harris Poll, for the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71 percent believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate.

A realignment may be underway. The recent push for the Epstein files, a previously unimaginable collaboration between conspiracy-addled MAGA true believers and anti-corporatist Democrats, was just the latest sign. At a moment when income inequality, the looming threat of A.I. and the rise of authoritarianism seem to be straining American societal cohesion, a revolt against self-dealing elites may be the only cause compelling enough to bring us together.

The favor of billionaires is already in some cases proving to be more of a liability than a blessing. In Seattle last month, a democratic socialist was elected mayor over a Democratic incumbent backed by wealthy interests. For the billionaires, Virginia Heffernan wrote, the problem is self-evident: “It’s their billions. Lately, once the money of the private-jet set enters a campaign, the stink of the oligarchy sticks to the campaign and the candidate can be attacked as a corporate tool.” Alex Bores, a candidate for Congress in New York City next year, even thanked Mr. Andreessen’s super PAC for targeting him; its scorn will most likely help him, and his efforts to regulate A.I., to stand out in a crowded field.

The historian Robert Darnton described an uncannily similar moment in “The Revolutionary Temper: Paris 1748-1789,” his brilliant 2023 account of the decades leading up to the French Revolution. The preconditions were all there: suffocating top-down control of the media, rapid technological change, let-them-eat-cake behavior among the courtier class, weaponized religious bigotry, mansions with hideously de trop ballrooms. OK, Marjorie Taylor Greene is not quite Voltaire. But there was a pedophilia scandal involving Louis XV: Public obsession with the king’s many mistresses helped give rise to so-called libelles, cheaply printed, semi-factual pamphlets that speculated on, among other matters, the king’s supposed never-ending supply of teenage girls. It would have fit right in on TikTok. Reverence turned to mockery; mockery begot contempt; and then …

That story did not end well. This one may not either."

Michael Hirschorn, the chief executive of Ish Entertainment, writes about the intersection of culture and politics.
