The Collector

 Several weeks ago, newly elected NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, met with Trump in the Oval Office. I guess it went well and Trump had nothing but nice things to say about him despite his being a socialist, communist, foreigner and all that. I guess people were surprised because Trump is the roughest, toughest, baddest hombre to ever stalk the earth. Why then, did it go so politely? 

Well, because Trump's a pussy. He doesn't confront men face to face. You can get punched out for that, and that probably happened in the past and he learned from it. I'm not suggesting violent confrontation is ever a good thing, but when a guy is habitually only vitriolically confronting women, it kind of tells a story about how rough and tumble a guy is not. 

I imagine the meeting with Mamdani was designed to have Trump win him over with his reputed charm. This has worked with a vast number of former Trump detractors from Cruz to Rubio and way beyond. Maybe he takes them aside and tells them something like: "Look, it's all an act! Don't take me personally! I'm just grifting and making tons of money. Stupid people and the media love this shit! Why not just join in with me and get your taste too? Now, sign this NDA saying we never had this conversation, and welcome aboard the Trump Money Train!"

I think it goes somewhat like that, but I seriously doubt he was so open with Mamdani. Just google though and you'll see that something worked on previous Trump detractors because there is video evidence of a whole slew of 180's performed by so many. 

As thin-skinned as Trump is, I don't think he cares that someone might dislike him. I think he expects it. He likes to own people and winning over rivals is one very good way of doing that. It's one thing to win over the dumbest people in America (like Maga) but that's easy and he only had to be himself to do that. He doesn't respect those people. I doubt he respects the once-political rivals (like Ted Cruz) either, but guys like that can do a lot for him beyond buying hats and phones. 

Now me, if I don't like someone, I tend to stick with that dislike in my head and heart, if not in my demeanor towards them. Jagoff bosses obviously do get a pass because, well, gotta get that check. With regular people, I don't ever want to get punched, but if that's what happens, we'll take it from there. I just can't be Polly Ana about it and try to make a friend of an enemy. I don't know if that's what Polly Ana did, but it sounded right about being wrong. The Trump quislings may or may not respect him. Doesn't matter. I just know that he doesn't respect them. They shouldn't respect themselves. He collects people to use as he sees fit. It's just one of his many narcissistic illnesses.

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 ...

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...

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...
