Tomasky: He's in way over his head.

Years ago, I remember Fareed Zakaria saying Trump is a "bullshtter". That has stuck with me for a decade. Of course, you all know that. Nevertheless, many of us have tried to decipher his bullsht, thinking he was a mastermind of deception. He isn't. I suppose that among his flying monkeys there are some with malevolent insight into how to pull off some special deception. But what I keep seeing is the crude development of cockeyed ideas about . . . well . . . just about everything.

The short of it is that we have watched the "Conservative Movement" go well beyond their Burkean and spiritual foundations and venture into untested, wild theories about the way the world works. And it has been this way because of the doh-re-mi factor. That's all that Trump and his crime family are about, it's what his oligarch donors are all about, it's all that Fox is about, it's all that Jim and Tammy Faye were about, it's all that Limbaugh and today's fascist-pedding podcasters are about, it's all that the whole Trumpn*zi leadership is about.

There is no plan. It's all on the fly. Once Trump was handed the keys after being convicted, indicted, and trying to overthrow our government with straitjacket "Q" insanity., sht, it was NO FCKNG HOLDS BARRED!!!!

The real N*zis are there, of course, like that Project 2025 lunatic. The fundamentalist zealots are telling troops they are "on a mission from God" and reshaping public education in accordance with a Kluxer vision of something very close to what the Adolf N*zis called Volksgemeinschaft. But the driving force behind all this is the doh-re-mi.

Just a note: This is the crux of James Talarico's campaign theme which warns us against left-right obsession and attempts to redirect us to the fundamental cause of American social divisions, the top versus down economic slaughter.

This is too long, so I will reiterate that Zakaria, Tomasky, and Talarico are right. Bullsht, incompetence, and rule by oligarchs have put us here. Or is it our fault for thinking there really has been a coordinated plot by masterminds who distracted us with "culture wars". Perhaps, but I think, at least at the federal level, it has all been a "smash-and-grab" operation since we elected a felon. What else could it have been? He is an incompetent highly experienced in bullshttg and always . . . ALWAYS . . . looking for a Ka-CHING opportunity. Always.

Pe tirà na bomba bisogna da esse matti, o impazziti. Pe fa na bomba la devi sapè fa, oppure la devi popo volè fa. Anche solo pe fassela venì in mente, ‘na bomba, o non c’hai più voja de scopà, oppure la questione è più grave, e diventa più importante fa la guerra che fa all’amore.

E allora nsemo più omini, semo sordati. Sordati che nessuno l’ha chiamati, che nse capisce da do vengono, ma se capisce che so ncazzati che pare che nun scopano da na vita. Tutti uguali, senza divise. Morti de fame, tutti uniti.

Senza er lavoro nun ariva ‘a pagnotta, ma ne ‘a botte piccola c’è rimasto er vino bono dell’anno scorso, che ogni anno che passa diventa sempre più bono e più forte.  Avemo bevuto a panza vota, er vino è finito, e mo ve tiramo le bottiglie

But more than that, it’s no way to live. I read this week about a bombing in a restaurant in Israel some years ago. The restaurant was open for business the next day. What we need is precisely that kind of I’m-not-changing-a-thing resilience. The less space terrorism occupies in our brains, the better off we’ll be.' - Tomasky

'The South. Those of you who go back to the Guardian days with me remember how I used to rant against the South. Haven't really made a habit of that here yet. But my feelings haven't changed. I still think we made a mistake taking them back. The only meaningful contribution they make is college football, and I'm sure that over time the USA and the CSA could have coexisted amicably enough that our teams could play each other with minimal border issues. What, Faulkner, you say? Bosh. He'd have moved to the USA!'
