Having spent his entire adult life steeped in the goose-stepping, Hate Radio/Fox News-driven, policy-free conformity of the GOP, it is perhaps understandable that Tom Nichols would become confused and exhausted in the presence of a diverse political party debating actual, substantive issues.
When I said I'm Never Trump, I mean "Never," and will vote for anyone who isn't Trump. But liberals are already exhausting me and it's only 2019.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 13, 2019
And of course if there is one thing Never Trump Republicans hate more than dirty, ill-mannered Liberals, it's dirty, ill-mannered Liberals who have the fucking temerity to being up the history of their Republican Party to remind them of just how we got into this fuck mess in the first place:
But strangely enough, on this point Tom and I are in complete agreement. Tom Nichols' Republican Party should definitely have been politically curb-stomped into oblivion decades ago.I’d say that the dumpster fire that is the modern Democratic party help create a decade of losses that made Trump seem plausible, but okay.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 13, 2019
Because, to quote Peter the Wise, you gotta stop 'em at the beginning:
Behold, a Tip Jar!

We humans like to think of ourselves as the most advanced species on this third rock from the sun but when I walk around the forest and see all its many living birds, bees, leaves, flowers, trees, microbes and all, and see how they work in harmony with each other in keeping with natures ways of continuing life, all that comes to me are the Captain’s words as pertains to the human condition:
"Blabber 'n Smoke"
All you ever do is blabber 'n smoke
There's ah big pain in your window
'N all your waters turn to rope
It gonna hang you all
Dangle you all
Dang you all
If you don't hurry there will be no hope
Why don't you quit actin' like ah dope
All you ever do is blabber 'n smoke
It don't matter where you got your start
Which side of your head you wear your heart
Clean up the air
'N treat the animals fair
I can't help but think you treat love like ah joke
Time's runnin' out
'N all you ever do is blabber 'n smoke
Blabber 'n smoke
Blabber 'n smoke

We humans is just one species no matter our clothes, hair, skin color and on and on. Without the insects, birds, bees, worms, microbes etc. who happen to know how to get along and keep this thing called life going as nature seems to have intended, we is extinct. So my hope is we manage to extinct ourselves so the rest of this planets living species and organisms can continue to live a long and compatible existence on this blue orb rotating around and around long after all we the so called be best species and all we have built have turned to dust and blown into the far winds of time.
Every day when I walk in the woods it seems a true miracle and it seems a shame that we keep trying to kill it every day in our need for self aggrandizement.
That is my happy thought for the day.
I’m old and grumpy, if that hasn’t been noticed by now.
Sure, I’m hoping for the best…but what the fuck fellow species we ain’t doing a very job at it.
Between this and Max Boot getting a case of the sads because Ilhan Omar had the temerity to call out his buddy's extensive record of war crimes and atrocities, it's been a red-letter day for the #NeverTrump set.
How the GOP so adores a Unitary President. Because it is not quite ready to come out of the closet and proclaim their dictator in Chief as yet.
So the soft titling of Unitary president must be used until the time is righteous. You know, just like the cushioned bigotry of using the name of White Nationalism. To ease the the tightness of the shackles which cut the blood flow off. Giving you a pain killer before driving the knife in deep. Makes it easier for the one with the knife.
Less screaming and moaning, less struggle. The KKK and white supremacy has just become such harsh words in it's description born out of historical experience.
Word use;
Socialism- Trigger word for all things bad. Like defying anything Democratic European countries develop as policy for the people. Only to contradict that notion trigger word with NAZI isms they contend worked.
How Patriotic it is for state rights for republicans, while those same republicans call on big (GOP Federal Government to thwart and restrict other states from using State Rights from doing policy and law they disagree.
Clue; It is always about burdening the chattel for they will never speak of Elliot Broidy, RNC finance chair who bored in life with his wealth and position, bored with his sanctity of marriage and his children. paid a woman for sex (basic prostitution) got his mistress pregnant then paid her to have an abortion.
There is no 5 SCOTUS that will hold such wealth and power accountable to a banned abortion law which they would gavel down bare knuckled hard on those of lesser wealth and power.
It has been called Royalty, Chosen by a God, white supremacy. There is an entire lexicon of the feathery soft inviting enabling fuzzy words. To help you dismiss the theft of your humanity.
That headline was a standing joke when I was in college in Wyoming in the 70s. "I plead the 21st Amendment, *hic* Ossifer!"
I like how the Republics turned into shit pudding because the Democrats were so fucked up. That's like saying, "If you hadn't built your house out of wood, I wouldn't have been able to burn it down with these gasoline bombs."
I'm not, for fuck's sake, saying that Democrats are perfect. But our biggest failing has been thinking that the Republicans are capable of acting in good faith. Well, DG and I didn't think that, but some Dems did!
*sigh*
