I come before you directly from my recent immersion in the latest reportage regarding the plastification of the blood of pretty much every sort of organism on the planet, which of course reminded me of the Plastic People of the Universe which drove me directly to Egon Bondy's Happy Hearts Club Banned which so obviously tracks with today's Roypost.
So other than that, I got nuthin' 'cept g'mornin', y'all.
A bright spot is hopefully Reagan is spinning in his grave so forcefully it can be measured via seismograph.
Putin picking up on rightwing talking points and going all-in against "wokeness” and LGBTQ equality as promoted by the Decadent West is a smart strategy. It’s the best way to get and keep our own home-grown authoritarians on board. Game recognize game.
I saw Green tweeted yesterday about how horrible it was for Biden to go to Ukraine on President's Day. I hope someone reminded her of all the Republican representatives and senators who went to Moscow on the Fourth of July.
If Republicans take the Senate back (or, worse, get the tri-fecta in 2024), Ukraine will fall. In fact, I would not be even slightly surprised if President Trump withdraws the US from NATO and begins shipping our most advanced weaponry to Russia.
I'll be honest- I am a card carrying, Live and Let Live, all men and women are my brothers and sisters, socialized medicine for the win liberal Democrat.( no more falsehoods or derisions Golden Living dreams of vision etc)
I mean, I pretty much love everybody. Except Russians. I fucking hate Russians. One of my earliest memories was my parents filling the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser with food and water during the Cuban Missile Crisis, parked in the driveway - ready to go when we got word that they were going to drop the Big One. I have no idea where they were planning on going. I did Duck and Cover in kindergarten. I went through drills where we" evacuated" Into The Fallout Shelter. Which was really just the janitor's room and a dingy ajoining basement full of old desks. As I grew older I read countless books and watched endless movies about The Day After about how me and everyone I loved was going to die a horrible violent radioactive death. I really did accept this as a fact for probably the first 30 years of my life.( when I learned smoke enough weed to get beyond such dull care)
Well, in 99% of my scenarios the Russians were responsible for all this carnage.
So yeah, Nadia Comaneci was hot, Tarkovsky was one badass filmmaker, and I had a near religious moment at a Kandinsky show the Cleveland Museum of Art sometime in the late seventies. Other than that though. I got nothing good to say about Russians.
I guess the Russian people would be okay. My big complaint is about the government. Fuckers like Putin.
The only people lower than that asshole are people like Rand Paul, Matt and Marge who can't wait to kiss his ass.
Rachel Maddow had some footage from a rally* on the Mall last weekend, a few Russian flags being waved about, also some Soviet-era flags, participants include Proud Boys and the followers of Lyndon LaRouche. Featured speaker? Tulsi Gabbard. I saw that and thought, man, a couple of years ago you were on a big stage debating Joe Biden, and now look at you...
*I've been at plenty of rallies like this, a hundred people and everybody knows each other. Always a nice chance to catch up with old friends, but the folks I hang with aren't EVIL.
OT, but some good news from the restive northern province of Wisconsin: The two Democratic (excuse me, it's nonpartisan, meant to say "not-fascist") candidates garnered a total of 54% of the vote in the Supreme Court primary, the two Republican (erp, sorry, "fascist") candidates totaled 45%. So encouraging news for the general election in April. The electorate in the general election will be different (and larger) than in the primary, but there's no reason to believe it's going to be appreciably more Republican/fascist, so we've got a good shot at our 2024 electoral votes actually going to whoever wins the most votes in the election, imagine that.
BTW, I saw a pop-up ad for the two Bad candidates which described them as "constitutionalist" (has "conservative" fallen out of favor?). One of these supposed "constitutionalists" (the one with a dingle, who now advances to the general) got paid by the Wisconsin Republican party to advise on a 2020 post-election plan that included the fake electors scheme. Because nothing says "constitutionalist" like "subverting the Constitution's rules for electing a President."
Biden gets more like FDR so of course the reichwing reps denounce him and if that means embracing Putin, so be it. Kiev is the new Yalta and these bozos are the clown car version of Father Coughlin.
"[GREENE stands, which puts her upper body out of frame, but we can see her giving the thumbs-down, and that below the waist she’s wearing only bikini bottoms.]"
The bikini bottoms and the WOOOOOOOOs and the BOOOOOOOs kill me. I mean, it's all funny. But.
Going to meet the man

Elon's appearance is like Mardi Gras to them.

As amused as one can be by the disgraceful reality behind the laughs.
My contempt for all of them is absolute mumble grumble oh never mind.

I did not need a number of those images.
(So L. Ron Musth gets the center Paul Lynde square. Good to know.)

You had me at “The dark square flickers on, revealing VLADIMIR PUTIN,” which is perhaps the creepiest “Hello” ever.
