Pandemic groupies are more disappointed than a Bulwark staffer’s bride because it just doesn’t look like the variant du jour is going to be scary enough to convince normal people to continue this endless freak-out. But that’s not stopping the communist mayor of New York City from trying to impose vaccine mandates on everyone. Now, more people are going to leave that garbage town forever. Good.
So, will Trump run? This is the question that people keep asking and the answer keeps changing. Or, rather, the speculation, since nobody knows anything about whether he runs or not. And that includes Trump.
Why are liberals so racist? This time some sort of Charles Dickens Christmas fair in San Francisco has degenerated into a seething, bubbling cauldron of racism. I blame Trump and you.
Perma-Pandemic
It is beyond any kind of reasonable debate that this flu nonsense will never end as long as these power-hungry fascists can gorge themselves on people’s submission. The fact that this is one of the many factors dragging Grandpa Badfinger’s poll numbers down into the sewer does not seem to deter them. They look over at Australia and get positively turgid over the kangaroo wrangler’s insane campaign to suppress those formerly great people.
Make no mistake – they want this to go on forever. It’s fun for them, and COVID terror fills up the empty lives of losers who have nothing else.
NYC is intent on destroying itself by enabling criminals, bums, and now these nanny Nazis – oh wait, we’re not supposed to compare people to Nazis anymore, but don’t worry, since Trump will probably run and that rule will change again. Normal people living in New York are looking around thinking “Why again am I here?” The big attractions of the Big Apple were that it was where a lot of business happened and that it was also a fun place. It’s like Disneyland for adults. So, if all the business leaves – and the COVID idiocy drove a lot out – and if you can’t actually do anything for fear of crime or because some Stasi creep will demand your papers, then what is the point of New York?
There is no point. More people will abandon it, and hopefully be so enraged at being driven out that they won’t load up their crappy politics into their U-Hauls.
This will all end when enough people in the big cities – which are the only places still doing this crap – vote out the jerks. Until then, let them learn through pain.
Trump = Hamlet
It would be dumb for Trump to squander his leverage by announcing a decision on whether he runs or not right now. Because that question is still unanswered, he can enjoy reading countless forays into the land of idle speculation like this.
The gossip from people who know is mixed. Biden’s poll numbers, which you know he watches obsessively, are in the toilet, and some of the people in the know who used to think Trump had no chance – he carries a bunch of baggage – are coming around to thinking that the GOP could beat Biden with a stuffed hamster.
But three years is a long time. Anything can happen, though this does not mean anything will. It's unlikely that this senile old weirdo will suddenly morph into a competent statesman and recover his ratings. More likely, it gets worse and worse. Ukraine is about to be gobbled up, and Taiwan too. There are rumors President * will resign after the coming midterm disaster, and Kamala Harris is famously even less popular than he is. Choosing between them is like picking chlamydia over syphilis, thought Biden’s been around so long and is so unwilling to just go away that maybe herpes is the better analogy.
Weakness attracts predators, and Trump is a predator. But he’s also old, older than he seems. He looks healthier now, but he’ll be 78 on Election Day in 2024. That’s pretty damn old. And let’s face it – you look at that number and this guy has maybe another 10 years of activity left if all the stars align. Does he want to spend three of them running for president, then four more as president?
Maybe, but maybe not. Maybe he wants to be the kingmaker. Well, we won’t know until he decides it is the optimal time to tell us. And part of that is because, and this is speculation, he has not yet decided himself.
A Christmas Cancel
So, there’s something San Francisco does called the Great Dickens Christmas Fair and apparently it is super-racist: "'Every member of LoAD has been called a slave,' says Anastasia Elizondo, an Afro-Chicana actor and comedian from Oakland who has been performing at the Dickens Fair for nearly 20 years. She adds that fairgoers’ limited knowledge of Black history can lead to offensive generalizations and assumptions. ‘One of us has been called Aunt Jemima, another Sally Hemings.'"
But there’s more: "During a roundtable in May, which included members from other groups, a representative of survivors of sexual and gender-based violence at the Dickens Fair said that known offenders ‘have been able to prey upon and abuse other participants for decades.’ This has spurred many fair participants to keep a list of such predators and abusers so that they can warn new participants.”
Now, we should generally be utterly indifferent to what you can expect are ridiculous imbroglios because their sorry history has shown they are usually nothing but histrionics. But let’s assume that, for some reason, people who are into Dickens go around calling black people “slaves.” And let’s also assume that the Dickens Fair is packed with more perverts and leches than Christmas with the Cuomos.
It’s not exactly on-brand with Dickens, but work with me here.
These are all liberals.
Every single one of them.
I can say, with absolute certainty (having grown up just south of Scat Francisco) that not a single one of these people voted for Donald Trump. It’s all Democrats, and the most progressive kind of liberal Democrats. So Democrats are trying to diddle other Democrats even as they twist “Oliver” into an improv take on “Roots.”
Well, they can’t really push back on us over this because we aren’t around them. Instead, they fight among themselves. Read the article – it’s a hoot. And laugh at them as they destroy each other.
