Hell-man, the side bar on the page with Burrough's reading, will keep me busy.

Funny that FDR was the savior of America in that he convinced the capitalists that they needed to throw some bones to the poor fools if they wanted to continue their high life. Elected 4 times. That's over.

I wonder if the new scotus ruling, giving the president the power to do crime without punishment, if it's done officially, applies to Biden. If so, he'd be one of few people that could get close to Trump with a gun. He could take him out. Be a hero to some; make a mark historically, and die of oldness in relative freedom.

something weird will happen. i feel it in my bones.

purple instead of mango:
The scene is Grant Park, Chicago, 1968. A full-scale model of the Mayflower, with American flags for sails, has been set up. A.J., in his Uncle Sam suit, steps to a mike on the deck:

“Ladies and gentlemen, it is my coveted privilege and deep honour to introduce to you the distinguished senator and former Justice of the Supreme Court, Homer Mandrill, known to his friends as The Purple Better One. No doubt you are familiar with a book called The African Genesis, written by Robert Ardrey, a native son of Chicago, and, I may add, a true son of America. I quote to you from his penetrating work: ‘When I was a boy in Chicago, I attended the Sunday School of our neighbouring church. I recall our Wednesday night meetings with simplest nostalgia. We would meet in the basement. There would be a short prayer and a shorter benediction, then we would turn out the lights, and, in total darkness, hit each other with chairs.’ Mr. Ardrey’s early training tempered his character, to face and make known the truth about the origins and nature of mankind: ‘Not in innocence and not in Asia was mankind born. The home of our fathers was the African Highland. The most significant of all our gifts was the legacy bequeathed us by our immediate forebears, a race of terrestrial flesh-eating killer apes.’

“Raymond A. Dart of the University Of Johannesburg was the strident voice from South Africa that would prove the southern ape to be the human ancestor. Dart put forward the simple thesis that man emerged from the anthropoid background for only one reason: ‘because he was a killer. A rock, a stick, a heavy bone, was to our ancestral killer ape the margin of survival.’ (And now we sat in his office at the wrong end of the world). ‘Man’s original nature imposes itself on any human solution. The aggressive nature of the southern ape, suh, glowing with menace, fought your battles on the perilous veldts of Africa, 500,000 years ago. Had he not done so, you would not be living here, in this great city, in this great land of America, raising your happy families in peace and prosperity.’

“Who more fitted to represent our Simian heritage in all its glory than Homer Mandrill, himself a descendent of that illustrious line? Who else can restore to this nation the spirit of true conservatism, that imposes itself on any human solution? And at a time when this great republic is threatened by enemies foreign and domestic? Actually, there can be only one candidate: The Purple Better One, your future President!”

Looks like Trump is determined to have it his way, learned some lessons from his first time around.

His three most controversial cabinet level selections, Gaetz for attorney general, Hegseth for secretary of defense, and Gabbard for director of national intelligence, just happen to cover the three areas that were the most difficult for him in his first term.

If he gets all three passed by the Senate, look out, US citizens might be foolish not to have their passports in order.

when the pieces were being put into place, the dems folded like pussies. Trump's like a boil that rose up from eating arsenic too long. Both parties signed off on the brave new world. Kamala's pitch didn't resonate. Brought in over a billion. Poof. Complicit in today's circumstances. All on Team We're fucked".

Yet they pale into insignificance against RFK Jr in health and Musk in some kind of overlord position.
