The Big James Bond Post

We started watching the James Bond movies, starting from the beginning.

We started watching the old James Bond movies this weekend. I don’t really remember them, but I know I watched a lot of these growing up. Watching them now it’s like jeez. These things are so ridiculous. I mean, ridiculous in sort of a big, loud, dumb action movie way that’s a lot of fun, but still ridiculous. Also, holy shit racist and misogynist. Like, I expected them to be super sexist and at least a little racist, but damn, man. Continue reading “The Big James Bond Post”

Republican Gaslighting

Republicans will steal the money out of your wallet right in front of you, and then lie to you about it and expect you to believe it and hand them your wallet again.

I am exhausted after four years of Trump and the GOP. Exhausted, possibly traumatized, definitely disillusioned. After four long, miserable years of the incessant lies, painful incompetence, malicious sociopathy, and gleeful attacks on democracy, I just want to crawl under my bed and never come out again.

Fauci’s Paycheck

I guess this is what we’re worried about now.

For this past year alone, he deserves every single penny. The shame here isn’t what Fauci’s making, it’s that some other medical professionals are being paid so poorly.

Daily Mail tweet about how much Dr. Fauci is paid.

Biden’s First Steps

Here’s a quick look at what Biden’s been up to in the first day and a half of his administration.

For the past 4-5 years, I woke up every morning and immediately grabbed my phone to see what had blown up overnight thanks to Trump’s incompetency. I didn’t have to do that this morning, and I gotta tell you, that was pretty goddamn amazing. It’s been nice the last couple of weeks, waking up in the morning and not having to dread what that fool crapped out on Twitter overnight.

Let’s keep that up. Trump should be left, sullen and silenced, to rot into irrelevance in Florida. I don’t know if we’ll actually get that privilege. I’m not sure if the media is capable of ignoring Trump. I hope they are. Continue reading “Biden’s First Steps”

Trump instigated an attempted coup.

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump, the sitting president of the United States, instigated an attempted coup.

Hundreds of QAnon conspiracy theorists and MAGA cultists stormed the United States Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021. Congresspeople had to be evacuated. The insurrectionists damaged and stole property, took selfies with each other and the cops, and posted their crimes all over social media. Three IEDs were discovered during the course of the riots – one at the DNC, one at the RNC, and one on the Capitol grounds. Continue reading “Trump instigated an attempted coup.”
