One more week until Shitmas... Once again this post is delayed, because my lack of enthusiasm in getting the thing written. After trying to find articles to share with you, the depression and outright disturbed feelings make my fingers linger on the keypad as the minutes pass. So here are a few links to get by today. Starting with the video clips from last night's SNL episode: [ 1,161 more word ]

Good Afternoon!! I'm getting nowhere with this post today, so I'm just going to put up a random collection of things I've been reading. First, a quick update on my living situation. I have a possibility of an apartment in senior housing. I'm going to see it on Monday morning if I can dig myself out of the snow by then. [ 1,873 more word ]

Good afternoon! I've been trying to get myself together to write the post today but it's just one "what fresh hell is this?" moment after another. The man who is supposed to be the next President at this point continues to praise Russia for hacking our election and has basically lost the popular vote by a greater margin than any other President at any other time… [ 1,315 more word ]

Good Afternoon!! I'm getting a late start today. Yesterday was super-stressful, but I got through it and I'm feeling much better now. A lawyer and two real estate agents came to view the house yesterday. My brother came to support me and he filmed the whole thing. My sister-in-law was also here and she gave the lawyer an earful. I have the sense now that the powers-that-be may let me stay here for awhile to see if I can get senior housing. [ 1,681 more word ]
12/14 Mike Luckovich: The real threat. | Mike Luckovich I'm glad today is cartoon day, because after the super disturbing news feeds of slaughter in Aleppo, or the various tRump cabinet appointments/nominees and/or visitors to his Penthouse White House, be it breaking stories about tRump's business ties are jeopardizing the US and the security threats they cause...and all the… [ 163 more words ]

Good Morning Sky Dancers, Winter is coming, in more ways than one. Cold and dark is settling in here in New England. As we all know, we face the possibility of terrible times to come in our country as a result of the election of Donald tRump and the global rise of right wing authoritarian leaders. Personally, I'm going through a tough time right now. [ 1,736 more word ]

Добрый день Just practicing my rusty college Russian which I've mostly forgotten so I'll be able to keep up when they send me to the gulag for the intelligentsia. My selection of paintings today are from Archibald Motley who painted Black Americans during the jazz age. I'm celebrating uniquely American creativity while I can too ... none of this derivative crap like the likes of Kid Rock who delivers ripped off riffs to his meth-headed mofos. [ 1,490 more word ]

This is the ugly face of what radical feminist writer Andrea Dworkin called "woman-hating". Without even knowing this woman he felt entitled as a man to harm he...r. And while his friends did not do the same, none of them helped her or confronted him, other strangers stooped to come to her aid.
PLEASE women...share this widely towards anyone you know in Germany. The police are looking for him!
Hello, I've used photos of woman boxers, or women boxing, before...it seemed appropriate with the latest assault in women's rights out of Ohio and Texas, that images of women in boxing gear (vintage ones at that) should be the perfect accompaniment to this thread. So focusing on women in this evening thread... As you may already know: Empowered by Trump, Ohio legislature passes ‘heartbeat’ bill that would ban most abortions - The Washington Post… [ 3,734 more words ]

Good Morning!! So now we know for certain what many of us have believed for months: Russia interfered in the 2016 election in order to put Donald #tRump in the White House. Not only that, we know that Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and other GOP leaders knew this and argued against release that information to the American public. We now know that Mitch McConnell told President Obama that if the administration. [ 1,666 more word ]
Hello it's Friday! I have a short video to send out to all deplorables! So,we're beginning to have attacks on free speech as well as voting rights. What do these new republican overlords have against the US Constitution? I guess they just don't like any one going around speaking freely, peaceably assembling, or petitioning the undemocratically elected government for redress of grievances. [ 1,581 more word ]

Well, the year 2016 continues to be a challenging one. I seriously can't look at any type of media without wanting a script for a happy pill along with a huge bottle of Jamison. It's just really like living through the Divine Comedy. We're getting closer and closer to the lower levels as we're approaching the first season of the Mad King of Hell. [ 1,651 more word ]

I saw a post on Facebook yesterday, it said that Media Matters is changing their focus from primarily Fox News to fake news websites and Facebook. The post was from a Politco page on FB. So I take it to be true....right? Media Matters to pivot away from focus on Fox News, as it names new president - POLITICO Then you have political editorial cartoons, which are beautiful things.

Good Afternoon!! #tRump continues to sow chaos on a daily basis. This morning he apparently read an article about Boeing's concerns about his trade policies and then tweeted that Boeing's contract to build the new Air Force One should be cancelled. NBC News: Trump Threatens to Cancel Air Force One Order, Boeing Stock Slips. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to cancel Boeing's order for the new Air Force One in a Tuesday morning tweet, citing high costs. [ 1,422 more word ]
It's Monday! It's cold, gloomy, drizzly, thundering, and gray here in Swampland. I'm trying to decide when exactly we get to start the America Held Hostage Day count. At the moment, I'm holding out hope on a few bits of good news so I'm going to start on that note. A judge has ordered Presidential Election recount in Michigan so Trump and the Michigan AG can stew in their evil soup with their evil hearts. [ 1,480 more word ]

Good Afternoon!! Yesterday I spent the afternoon and evening with my brother's family--they invited me for a birthday dinner and family movie. Unsurprisingly, while I wasn't paying attention for a few hours the president-elect overturned the decades-old US policy on China. And it appears this wasn't about policy but about enriching the #tRump family business. Ann Gearan at The Washington Post: [ 1,814 more word ]
