i want to believe that the democrats could have won; but they’re so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory that they still would have let trump win again.

in that case: i wonder how much “soviet union” is still lives in russia and whether or not there’s enough to keep the economic progress from vanishing.

i wonder how much of that economic progress will remain after the ukranian war.

i wonder if it was an american military industrial complex fueled excuse to create a new profit stream in a new proxy war between russia and nato.

ukraine is perfect because the russians will never give them up for a myriad of reasons and that guarantees that american military contractors will be able to milk profits from ukraine as a proxy battleground country for as long as both russia and the united states exist; longer than any of us here today.

That would be perfect

Ukraine US proxies

not for much longer if trump has anything to do with it.

to be fair: men with privilege & bodies like that get to treat the whole world as their playground. lol

i was going to extol the virtues of making your own brownies; but now i won’t because i know i’m not as cool as the guy in this video. lol

btw: where is this video from?

beverly hills is like mexico city: they’ve both got a lot of americans in them right now thanks to money, but that will change with time when their original inhabitants re-surge and reclaim both places for themselves again. lol

i hope that my 17 year old car holds out a little bit longer so that I can get a chinese EV at 1/2 the price of the telsa and with 95% of the capability; i will no longer buy american cars.

who? nato or the russians?

i bet this is why they drumbeat and so heavily decry on “TERRORISTS!!!” to exclusion of any kind of reasonable arguments like: that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter; particularly when it comes to a genocide.

it’s a bit like the democrat’s decrying “TANKIES!!” to shut out all criticism that lost them the election; except decrying “TERRORISTS!!!” does win, unlike the democrats.

also: the little panics if it shows who tried to reach you and it’s a ceo; so you wake yourself up; get out of bed; log in to your computer and see that it’s just an “lol”. 🤌

my ex-mother-in-law and my cousin.

my ex-mil is the tiniest meekest most submissive old fashion mexican woman that i’ve ever known; more so than my own grandmothers; but she recognized that her son was different (gay) when he was a toddler and she warned everyone that she knew that if they had a problem with her son, then they had a problem with her and to air their grievances now so she can know whom to cut out of her and her son’s life. (that’s a big deal for traditionalist mexicans like her family).

growing up, i winced a lot when i saw my aunts, uncles and cousins bully and beat the tar out of my cousin to “toughen the sissy out of him” and “beat the sugar out of his blood” because he was so flamboyantly gay. decades later; those same people fell upon extraordinarily hard times and my cousin took them all in. by doing so: he literally gave the same people who abused him so much that he had to ran away at 14 years old to protect himself from them and then turned around to give them a roof over their heads and food on the table for them when they asked.

i aspire to be both people; it think that they’re the best examples of humanity that i’ve seen with my own eyes.

one is a mania with a physical root cause while the other one isn’t.

i’ve learned that if you grease yourself up enough (VERY important that you’re greasy enough); you can just canon ball your way through. lol

you’re too late! i already know we’re that shitty. lol

my anxiety about the future got a lot better once i started looking into how we got into this mess and the whole thing started by watching democracy now before watching pbs, or cbs, or abc, etc.

watching my country’s original nature manifest itself so nakedly in examples like the election and this patch makes me wonder what else is going to come back into fashion and how much of it ever actually went away.

and knowing that at least half of my country’s voters would just “go with the flow” while the other half cheers on cheeto-mussolini tells me that i don’t want to know the answer to my question.

i’m glad that lol speak is still a thing; it’s nice giggle like child at a fascist’s expensive; no s(h)nark intended. 😉

(before you downvote me: know that i’m entitled to dad jokes since i’m at the appropriate age. lol)
