A Conspiracy of Dunces

 Well, fuck me a-runnin'- it really was about expediting Trump's ridiculous ballroom fantasy! Within moments of the *attack*, pundits that had been queued up all evening unleased their posts, all pretty much saying, "THIS is why we need a ballroom!" Seemed a little planned, didn't it?

The production values of these assassination attempts have never been good under Trump. Most people put as much stock in the three as they do his claims to have ended eight wars. This WHCD one seemed really thrown together. It was utter chaos as SS and security scrambled about, seemingly for effect, and diners seemed confused and unaware of what was actually happening. How many thought a waiter dropped plates? All the *action* and gunplay transpired on the floor above. The guests were never in danger. But part of the show is to get the first-class passengers to the safety of the lifeboats of the US Titanic, because people expect that. We all found out how not precious the wives are in these scenarios! Maybe they already knew. 

It's popular these days to poo poo all over conspiracy theories, but that is probably by design. If you have a theory as to why anything would happen, why wouldn't it be a conspiracy? LIFE is a conspiracy. Where it gets muddled is when random events occur (and they do) and people backtrack to explain why something happened. We have gone from fact-finding missions to fault-finding missions in the last ten years- BIGLY. Is it not a conspiracy when the DOJ investigates the Southern Poverty Law Center and finds that they weren't fighting the KKK- they were financing the KKK!? And they can prove it!

Well, they can't prove it because that's fucking stupid and not at all the mission of the SPLC. But what if it was... wouldn't that be something? It really seems like this administration is back in the 60's smoking the good pot and pondering life. They get the idea to tape record their brilliance and listen to it with sober ears the next day. But instead of busting a gut at how stupid they sound, they actually think they were brilliant. Maybe just brilliant enough to fool some of the people, all of the time. That seems to be what it's all about. You just need to get enough people to believe, to get enough traction to move forward. That's religion. That's certainly Maga. That's cults. Even if your numbers are small, that is a good thing because that is spun as "exclusivity". YOU are not like those unenlightened losers who don't get it!

You can say anything as long as you say it with the matter-a-factness of authority. Trump is probably the least authoritative leader the world has ever seen, but he turned out to be an easy sell to the public. He was all things to all people, all at once. Sure, he's an idiot, but he's an idiot who was going to cut taxes for rich and poor alike! And you know what? He's not a registered communist like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris! And yada yada yada the rest of this Trump shit because either you already know this, or you are too fucking dumb to realize it. Point is, people are stupid. Even brilliant captains of industry are stupid because they thought they would profit greatly from him (and they have) but they ignored the big picture of the destruction of democracy as maybe not being a good thing after all. It sounded good last night when they were doing the puff-puff-pass of totally perfecting their world, but it's pretty fucking stupid today. 

Yeah. A Big, Beautiful Ballroom. That's the ticket! Lesser presidents over the last 150 years knew that but were too small dicked to pull it off! A conspiracy to get the BBB built before he kicks? Why not? Add an Arc d' Triumph and a reflecting pool where he gave his "I Have a Dream" speech attended by one billion people (with one billion people waiting outside to get in). Maybe that's not technically a conspiracy, but delusional conspiracies got us here because that's how life works. Or so the Ferrerman would have you believe...

Molehills On the Battlefield

An odd exchange with a follower earlier. To another poster I added to his complaint about the recent trend of side-by-side reaction videos They are dumb and pretty much unnecessary. My addition was that I didn't like the ones where someone is telling a joke, and on the other side of the screen is a clip of someone laughing outrageously. Why? And perhaps worse, the split screen is used to tell a story, and the other side is some inexplicable B-roll of some unrelated product being made. Again- why? Are these first world problems? Yes. But I wasn't crying or praying to Trump that these 'creators' be deported to a Sudanese prison. I was just kinda bitching. Is that wrong? To one follower, it was! At first, I wondered if I was reading her wrong. Could someone read my post and take it so seriously? A quick perusal of my bio mentions something about me being a "gifted satirist and sarcasmist". Eh, who reads those things anyways. I also say that "DM's mean yo...

The List

 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 ...

Her Soft Underbelly Exposed

One of the better interviewers you'll see on YouTube is Mark Laita of the "Soft, White Underbelly" channel. It's my understanding he is primarily a photographer whose interest has always been photographing the unseen segments of society- the street people, prostitutes, criminals and kinda freaks of life, that we generally ignore. Maybe it's all in the editing, but his success seems to be in letting his subjects talk without too much prompting from him. It's their story.  This episode was with a porn star- Addison Vodka. Well, that's what she goes by. Though I have seen my share of porn, I'm not on a first or last name basis with most of these people. So, I fired up the Pornhub to see what she what she was like in action. She does a good job for a girl with such a schpankable bottom. No doubt. But she was an enlightening interview. Twenty-five years old, super cute  and very engaging. Very pleasant. Just nice and very normal considering her path to porn...
