FERRERMAN- AGAIN?

 Trump is going to allow firing squads for executions. Clearly, this is to satiate the bloodlust of his Maga faithful and give his regime the appearance of being all into law & order, but there is more afoot. There always is. Twenty-seven states allow capital punishment, but six of those are under moratoriums and not currently allowed to kill anyone. Does Trump's Kingly edict override all fifty states? Who knows when a republic gives way to a fascist monarchy overnight? It's hard to keep up with the changes when they come via a social media site or Executive Orders.  Personally, my beef with capital punishment is that it is too final. You make legal missteps and put a person in prison for life; you can give that person their life back when new evidence shows they were innocent. If you execute them, you can't. I don't generally have compassion for murderers even though there might be very good reasons to take another's life. These United States are chockful of la...

 I've never been one in life to have 'good enemies'. I've always been stuck with losers who thought they could better themselves by attaching to me like a parasite. This has been the case at both work and play.  I still hear from a person  who glommed onto me years ago on a now-defunct site known as Topix. It was as vitriolic and offensive as I guess Twitter is now, though on a much smaller scale. You couldn't block people there because the owner knew that would have been the kiss of death to his business model as, quite obviously, the only thing keeping the lights on was trolls annoying and fighting with people. It was moderated by trolls. Trolls there would have like twenty/thirty accounts where they would harass each other and other posters and talk to themselves to further their nonsense. It was fun though and I made some lifelong friends there.  I honed my writing skills and learned to take people down, shortly and sweetly. I mean, I always had that in me, but ...

 I finished the last episode of my umpteenth binging of "The Sopranos" last night. It is still the best series that has ever been on television, and probably always will be. It is so good, that even when you know everything that is going to happen, happens, you still enjoy it. Rewatching gives the viewer a chance to study characters closer, understand their arc more, and appreciate the actor's skill at their craft. James Gandolfini was born to play Tony Soprano. He owned the role and did it better than no one else possibly could. Tony was a horrible person. I've heard all my life that actors prefer to play the villain because they can better display their acting chops and really explore the role. Fine. Probably. Daniel Day-Lewis is arguably the greatest actor alive today and he was born to play Bill the Butcher in "Gangs of New York", also a mob boss. Neither actor could step in and play either role, great as they are. That's just the way it goes with ac...

 Oh, sure, that's easy for libs to say. But as soon as Maga attempts to believe all women, the dang libs shoot them down! I'm speaking, of course, about the young, blonde and beautiful, Emily Hart, the Maga influencer that stole the hearts of many Maga men- and probably a few Maga women. Maga believed and evidently bought the bikini photos to prove it. And I guess some nudes too. Emily said all the right things about how awful libs were. She drank beer and liked pickup trucks. She was a paragon of Maga womanhood. And libs destroyed her! The recently late Charlie Kirk asked a few thousand times, "What is a woman?" It was a gotcha question, rhetorical in that the rules are that if you are asked a stupid question like that, you must answer it to the complete satisfaction of the asker, or they automatically win. I don't make the rules.  As it turns out, your average Maga doesn't know what a woman is because they thought Emily Hart was one when she was actually an ...

My first thought when I heard about The Rape Academy was, "How's their football team this year?" Well, that's my first thought about any online school so, please don't be offended.   There is not much new under the sun in the year of our Trump 2026 though, so I didn't doubt it even though the first posts about it said that 62 million men were *enrolled* in this unnatural extension of Trump University and evidently that figure is actually the number of views the site has gotten. That is abhorrent in itself, but it represents a smaller number of fucking weirdos looking at it a whole bunch of times.  I assume this is some *dark web* shit but I don't really know. I'm not going to look it up! What I hear  is that much of it is guys filming and talking about raping their own wives for the entertainment and bragging rights, with other like-minded scumbags. I can only assume there are some procedurals outlined for students as well. That is sickening. It's ...

 So much speculation about Trump likely being senile. Yet we listen to him talk to FOX's Maria Fartaroma and he sounds so almost reasonably lucid and normal. Stupid- but good. If you want a conspiracy about his mental health, try this on for size: They are using the possibility of Alzheimer's to try to cover up the fact that he's a fucking idiot.  People are sympathetic to Alzheimer's. Except for Maga, people aren't generally sympathetic to stupidity. Probably every family in America has an elderly loved one who is steadily losing it mentally. We see that grandma or grandpa is forgetful and getting lost in the past while telling stories and forgetting people's names more than usual. And you know this is beyond the normal cluttered mind of old age. It happens to the best of us.  Well, Trump is certainly not the best of us. I have been pondering this a long time, but in my umpteenth bingeing of "The Sopranos", I started thinking of this more when the epi...
