FERRERMAN- AGAIN?

 Many people are saying that Trump might be- well, like our grandparents are, if you're a boomer. Others think he'll be joining our grandparents soon. (If he crosses my grandfather, he'll meet a man who once faced down a gangster who tried to rob his bank with a tommy gun. That man did not succeed) Whichever, Trump's not going to meet his doctor's 200-year life expectancy prognostication. What a shame.  JD Vance has already come out and said he's ready to step into Trump's shoes. This will make him a couple inches taller. I don't know that maga will accept him- they might except him- but they have to understand that they really have no choice in this matter. Their involvement in all things Trump- while not over- has been kinda downsized. They were needed to get Trump back in The White House. They did that. What they didn't realize was that their mission was to get JD Vance into The White House. NOBODY could have done that on purpose. Nobody. Yep, the...

 I often end each night going down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos. I like the randomness of content. I don't know if it's algorithms or just the chaos of YT itself, but I like the hodge podge aspect of it. I can easily go from comedians like Norm MacDonald to Vietnam documentaries, to carpentry lessons, with those REELS that stop and start with no method to their madness spliced in. There is a lot of good info out there- except for those fucking REELS- and I'm always down for learning something new or confirming my bias on something else. Now, I'm not a subscriber to any channels because I was gifted with a LIFETIME BAN   from subscribing or commenting on YT's, evidently because I *bullied* a couple of gangster-adjacent assholes several years ago, on a thread about the late Frank Cullotta, a Chicago gangster. That's as much as I know about it. One day I got on YT and was informed of the ban- not why it happened- just that it happened and I could contest it if I...

 Is this a bad time to come out against gun control?  This not a not a normal country. It's not   gonna get any better, not with this scumbag pedophile in The White House.  Another school shooting happened today. These have been happening in schools, churches, malls, theaters- everywhere- for the last several decades. It doesn't matter whether there is a good man in The White House or Trump, these atrocities are going to happen. Last year I probably would have agreed with you if you said we should ban the semi-automatic rifles- AR15's and such. However, last year we were a far more normal country with an old, but wizened president with the hope of a younger, stronger woman on the way. Well, we know what happened there. I would have been onboard with a ban on assault rifles. In a normal country, you don't need one. You just don't. This isn't Somalia, Afghanistan or the Middle East. Not yet anyway. For those people, poor leadership, war and killing is a way of lif...

 I don't want anybody to feel sorry for Trump. That's not my intent here. If he was your grandfather babbling incoherently, pooping in his pants and being taken advantage of by foreigners, we would have sympathy. However, we can't have sympathy for Trump. He's a documented asshole. Has been all his life. The really odd thing is, he might not be steadily slipping into senility or dementia. He may just be expanding his assholery. No one can tell.  In his first term, he had smart people who could and would check him. He was an asshole then, wanting to nuke hurricanes and California, but he had people to tell him "No, sir, you can't do that". Now, quite likely those people actually told him, "No, sir, you can't do that- that's 2nd term shit". Temporarily at least, their hearts were in the right place.  Trump is an asshole of epic proportions- like nobody has ever seen before- and there is absolutely no one around him to check him. We can all ...

 "He (Newsom or Pritzker, so far) is only running for president!"  Oh. OK. Thanks to Trump, I guess, anyone who is running for president is an opportunistic scoundrel, not to be trusted. In as much as that is the job description here in Trump 2.0, I don't think either of those men is qualified to be  president.  Check your calendars. 2028 is over three years away and we have ZERO assurances that there will even be a presidential election in 2028. People still believe midterms are a lock, and they could  happen, but only if Trump's handlers are certain that the fix is in for them. I'm not a gambling man, but I know people and it's an easy call that these fuckers in power now are in it to win it, for forever. They want a sure thing and are in position to make that happen. The presidency, along with the demise of democracy here in America has changed. It will never again be like it was. Maybe that is a good thing. I don't know yet, but I kinda think it is. Th...

 It is no longer cute how everything Trump does in his invasion of America is treated as a distraction from the Epstein Files. The reality is, the Epstein Files are a distraction from everything Trump is doing in his invasion of America.  Nothing more will be done about the Epstein files. Everything has already been done. He's dead. She went to prison (for now...). No child-fuckers have been- or will be- arrested.  America- you are putting all your rotten eggs in one deplorable basket. Stop it.  This is a country where the judicial system- by many accounts the greatest in the world- has turned its back on the victims with one move of the goal posts after another. Victim testimony, which generally is damning evidence in criminal trials, doesn't seem to count for much in civil actions, or in any kind of leadup to criminal actions when the wealthy and powerful are involved. It turns out that you have to have a list. Not just any list- THE list.  Geez, without that ...

Had a little misadventure with Walmart online the other day. Via them I had ordered a new Xbox controller. It arrived in a reasonably timely fashion, but it did not work. That was unacceptable to me. Such things happen though, and that's why there are returns, refunds and exchanges. Walmart offers these, but not in a serious way. On their site it's very easy to find and almost choose the item you would like to return, but it is impossible to continue from there. I could have clicked on the "continue" button all day and I would never actually continue. I have to believe that this is by design. Not poor design of the website, but rather, good- but evil- design of the website. The idea seems to be to frustrate you so much that you give up and stop bothering them with your petty grievances about nonworking items you paid for coming to your door. It's not just me. I hit google to see their answer to my query of, "WTF is wrong with Walmart's website??!!" W...

 Earlier this year, pundits like Bill Maher and other assholes kept saying that we needed Trump to succeed. You know, they were right. Right for all the wrong reasons, but right just the same.  Whether Trump, in his addled mind realizes it or not, he is destroying democracy and the US at the behest of his billionaire backers. If a system that made so many men and corporations so disgustingly wealthy, so offends those wealthy persons that they want to destroy it, that system needs to be destroyed. Definitely.  It's probably no longer about the money at this point. Oh, the thrill of becoming the world's first trillionaire is probably very real, but from what I see and read, penultimate control of the world is most likely the goal. You don't have to be weird to be rich, but you will become weird. Rich people have a lot of time on their hands. They sit around and think about what they deserve- aside from more money. What can they have- or do- that ordinary mortals cannot? Se...

 The latest hope for a Cavalry charge coming to save us is the Epstein files. Oh, it's always something. It has also been J6 and Garland, and before that Mueller and Russiagate. It's always something, and it's never nothing. Never anything of consequence, because there will be no consequences, not of the world-saving kind.  Trump is nothing but the bitchtitular head of the United States. Think about it. He really is as stupid as we all know he is. Let the Twitter and Facebook stumblebums believe he's playing 5D chess. We know he is playing Monopoly, but that is to keep him busy assaulting our sensibilities and bolstering those of his senseless followers. It is by design. Trashing rose gardens, gold-leafing the White House and taking over the Kennedy Center may be the fulfilment of his delusions, but these tragedies are an avenue for the delusions of the men behind him. We may think he's Putin's puppet, but there are worse men above him working the strings.  Mone...

 I actually have two little brothers, 2 and 10 years younger than me. The two years younger one is the one I favor as he and I went through a few doors together, coming up and we share some bad habits. The younger one to both of us is more of an academic and annoying with his Francophilia. He speaks French, taught it and has lived in France. I admire him for that, but I wish sometimes that he'd shut up about France and realize that I don't have his flair for the language and don't need to be corrected when I butcher French words as if I should know better. I don't. That's the problem with a lot of smart people. They can't seem to comprehend that something they worked so hard to understand, is very foreign to others. We get along OK despite our similarities being different. We are very serious Cub fans. We never had the fistfights that often happen amongst brothers as they grow older and test boundaries. Good, because I would have destroyed them. My little sister...

The ladies do not actually call me "Two Nines" because I do not actually carry a Beretta.  I like to make dick jokes, because I'm immature. It keeps me young. On another forum, on an internet far, far away, I fancied myself a *big-time bottomspanker*. The reality is, I've only spanked two women and they both had it coming. Come think about it, they both had me coming! <--- get it? Anyways, their bottoms- their calls. They made the right calls. Speaking of calls, I have so little respect for MLB umpires. They are ruining baseball for the players and fans with their ridiculous, interpretive strike zones. I understand a bad call on the bases, and those can be overturned via replay. Baseball isn't usually life or death, but when you have the power to eject anyone for your feeling that they looked at you wrong after your horrible call, it's the most totalitarian assholery this side of Donald Jerome Trump.  Speaking of him, it's insulting to our collective in...

  Just spit balling, but if armed, masked men who refuse to ID themselves are trying to kidnap you- or others- doesn't Stand Your Ground apply? Republicans and the NRA worked VERY hard to get these laws passed, and this certainly seems like a necessary application to the law. We've all seen or dealt with uniformed police in our everyday lives, and as far as I know about it, they are required to provide their name and badge number (when asked) when dealing with the public. You are already 100% sure they are legit cops, but for the record, they provide their name and badge number.  What's so offensive about ICE is, they refuse to do this. They refuse to show warrants; they probably don't have anyway. This is like secret police in other countries, as seen on TV and the movies. It's not like America. When did this start happening, and why is it legal? Oh yes, it started this year and, no, I can't see how it could be.  Well, we all know what's going on here with ...

  Got into a little kerfuffle with a woman on Bluesky today. Not much of one as my Ferrer senses tingled and I figured on bailing early as she seemed pretty hostile in her assessment of the young ladies pictured above. I do the same with maga more often these days, because you're never going to straighten those people out. So, I kind of knew I shouldn't have bothered, but it bugged me that in her estimation these girls were 'too skinny' and it was a disturbing trend... brought to you by...Mr. Man. It would turn out that I was a Mr. Man too. I've certainly been called worse. However today I achieved Mr. Manhood by offering that every body is different and these young girls, being young girls, looked like young girls to me. They look like teens to me, and teens come in all shapes and sizes. With the exception of the first girl pictured, I don't think anyone pictured was starving themselves to please Mr. Mankind. To me they looked healthy and happy. Normal. I guess...

 It seems like most people's bios on Bluesky declare "NO DM'S!", as if those letters alone would insulate one from a stream of pickup lines, scams and dick pics. The thing about DM's is that you can easily ignore them or block the person sending them. No biggie, right. Some people in life will not be deterred no matter what the signs say, because they will figure somehow that it doesn't mean "Me". Like everybody knows  you can't park in front of a fire hydrant, but your honor, there was no fire at the time, and I was going to only be a few minutes and I'm  the real victim here because those firemen BROKE MY WINDOWS  to run their hoses through MY car!  Firemen like to do that, and I totally get that. Rules are rules. My Bluesky bio specifically states, "DM's mean you want to sleep with me" and yet I still get DMs, and without offers of sex. This kinda makes me think people do not really read bios all too closely, if at all. I don...

 I've been MIA the past few days. My unit got called up. No, not that  one! Your minds are in the gutter! They way Trump has been undoing things these past six months, the Deep State figured I needed to go back and re-win WWII lest Trump might have his Defense Department revisit it and declare Hitler the victor. Stranger things have and will continue to happen with this fucking weirdo in charge, and we can't be too careful. So, I took to the Xbox.  I handily defeated Germany and Japan and, thus, here we all are today. You are welcome. However, the darn Xbox- which was about 16 years old (a million years in Xbox life) finally gave out and I had to get resupplied by Amazon. I know what you're thinking: FUCK AMAZON. I hear ya on that, but the other option was Walmart. FUCK WALMART too! My American training tells me any port in a storm when one is storming ports.  With brand *new* refurbished equipment, I was ready for war! And golf too! See, I've got about a dozen games...
