Democracy Doesn’t Just Die in Darkness

Democracy Doesn’t Just Die in Darkness

The Washington Post endorses Kamala Harris. There. I said it.

I said it because it was revealed yesterday that at the beginning of the month The Post had drafted an endorsement for Harris. Therefore, an actual endorsement exists. But because the owner of the Post, Jeff Bezos, is a coward narcissist afraid of the other coward narcissist (SHITHOLE), the endorsement was nixed and was not publicly made. So The Post has said they aren’t endorsing any candidate. Which has rightfully pissed insiders at The Post off (writers, editors, etc.) to the point of resignment and has pissed consumers off to the point of unsubscribing (which surprised many to learn that anybody even still subscribed to it). Because technically, The Post is endorsing Harris. It’s mainly Bezos who isn’t endorsing anyone. But he’s probably already voted for Harris because we know how he really feels about SHITHOLE.

And of course, because of Bezos’s ties to Amazon, people are indicating they are dropping Prime or will not shop Amazon any longer. Bezos has not been the CEO of Amazon since 2021 and owns a mere nine percent of the business. Amazon is mostly made up of small businesses selling their wares. So, if you stop shopping on Amazon, which is your choice, of course, you’re not really hurting Bezos. You’re hurting small business owners. And personally, when I cannot find an item anywhere else, Amazon has always had it. I have been able to find some extremely obscure items I couldn’t find anywhere else on Amazon. They often have Amazon exclusives that you’re not going to be able to get at Walmart.

The Post is famous for their saying “Democracy Dies in Darkness”. But Democracy doesn’t just die in darkness. It dies when you don’t VOTE. You don’t need an endorsement from a newspaper, famous person, famous animal or whatever to simply make up your own fucking mind and VOTE. An “endorsement” from something or someone simply tells people that thing or person supports such-and-such candidate. It doesn’t mean everyone working for that business (The Post, Amazon, etc.) is going to vote for such-and-such candidate. It doesn’t mean everyone that listens to so-and-so’s music is going to vote for the candidate they endorse. In fact, it’s very possible the owner of the business or the famous person won’t even vote at all. It’s like the little blurbs on the back of books from other famous authors or editors: “A real page-turner” or “You won’t be able to put this book down”. They too are endorsements but also are simply opinions. I’ve read many books that I thought were terrible although they had great “blurbs” on the back.

So don’t take the fact that The Post isn’t endorsing Harris (or anyone) to heart. Because, again, since they already wrote an endorsement, which I know we will eventually see, they technically ARE endorsing Harris.

With the free-falling mental decline of SHITHOLE, many on social media are fearing that the big plan (of the GOP, I guess?) is to have SHITHOLE win, and then have SHITHOLE (or someone, I guess?) declare him nutso and incompetent to be “President”, get him out using the 25th Amendment (which would have to be passed by Congress) and then SHITHOLE Jerkoff Dipshit takes over. And they fear this because Jerkoff lives and breathes by Project 2025. Not that SHITHOLE doesn’t. It’s just that Jerkoff seems to care more about it than SHITHOLE does.

Although these fears are valid and I have also felt that Jerkoff is more interested in being “President” than “Vice President”, if SHITHOLE won, he wouldn’t just hand over the reins to Jerkoff, even if he was on his deathbed. Here’s why:

  1. SHITHOLE knows if he isn’t “President” his ass is going to prison. Why do you think he’s running for “President” in the first place? It sure as hell isn’t to run a country he can’t stand.
  2. SHITHOLE is a narcissist. He isn’t going to give anything up willingly. Even if he’s nuts. Even if Congress passed the 25th, can you imagine what it would be like getting him physically removed?

But when we go to the polls to vote, be it before or on November 5, we need to keep these fears and facts in mind. There is clearly something cognitively wrong with SHITHOLE. There’s no denying that. It would be unfair to ourselves as Americans to vote for him. We deserve so much more.

As a reminder, immediately after January 6, 2021, SHITHOLE’s own cabinet tried to invoke the 25th:

Liam

Liam

by MichelleMcHatton

Until 2020 I didn’t really know much about One Direction except the name of the group and “What Makes You Beautiful”. Then my daughter got turned on to them. And she exposed me to their music and videos, interviews, documentaries, late-night talk show clips, etc.

If it wasn’t for my daughter, I wouldn’t have any clue who Liam Payne was, except that he was a member of One Direction. And I wouldn’t have been so moved by the outpouring of love from his fans in his untimely death. One Directioners are quite a family and they are remarkable. I’m glad my daughter considers herself a One Directioner too.

I actually saw the story on the news before it even hit social media. When I broke the news to my daughter, her first reaction was “okay”. And then she sobbed. She sobbed for a little bit and then blocked things on social media. And I comforted her. Because no matter what anyone says, it is okay to grieve someone you may not personally know but have greatly admired. Someone you may have grown up listening to and who had great meaning in your life.

When an artist of any kind passes, be it a singer, actor, painter, dancer, author, etc., I always say they have left greatness behind in their work. Their work is always something we will have, forever and ever. For generations to come. That is the beauty of an artist passing. Their memory never dies because their work is always with us.

Liam may be gone but his music, his voice, his interviews, his videos, etc. will always be something to remember him by.

Understanding Tariffs

Understanding Tariffs

For the many who don’t understand tariffs or how SHITHOLE’s “concept” of a plan to have tariffs will help the American economy, here it is explained very simply:

If your pillow was made in China and the American government slaps a tariff on Chinese-made pillows, the tariff is added to the cost of the pillow at the point of sale in Walmart. The country of origin doesn’t pay the tariff. The pillow buyer does. That’s how tariffs work.

Understand? Good. Keep it in mind when you vote.


The Mental and Physical State of Trump

The Mental and Physical State of Trump

The other day Kamala Harris released her medical report where it was indicated in a detailed letter from her physician that she is in “excellent health”.

This again opened up the conversation to why SHITHOLE has not released his medical information to the public. Well, it’s quite obvious, isn’t it? One also doesn’t need to be a physician to figure out what kind of health SHITHOLE is in. All you need to do is look at him and listen to him.

First of all, SHITHOLE is obese. Not just overweight. Downright OBESE. Based on that alone one could surmise he at least has high blood pressure, high cholesterol and is probably a diabetic. He has diabetic skin. You can tell just by looking at him. The kicker is, he probably doesn’t even know he’s diabetic! He’s also 78 years old. But he looks 88. You’ve seen him barely make it down a flight of stairs or a ramp. His gait is off. And that’s just from what we can see. It wouldn’t surprise me if he has something wrong with his prostate, has gastrointestinal issues (we know he farts a lot and tends to shit his pants) and may even have cancer.

As for his mind, forget it. He’s way too far gone. If this thing was your relative, you’d have him in a home by now. Keep in mind, we have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. We know he doesn’t sleep much which indicates he’s probably tough to wake. And it wouldn’t surprise me if he calls his “helpers” or “aides” by the wrong names constantly, reminisces about the past (in the sense that he thinks his daughter is his first wife and thinks Melania is the maid) and puts ketchup in his coffee instead of sugar.

So even without a real doctor’s report, we can tell this guy’s a breath away from a heart attack, stroke or totally zoning out and people actually want him to “run the country”? My God, if he won we’d be lucky if the fucker got out of bed every day!
