He's not pushing "America First". He's just saying "America First". He has no intention, should he somehow come to power again, on acting on it. He won't act meaningfully on anything he says.

We know this because this has happened before. He ran on hating brown people and queer people, but when he became president in spite of the fact that he got significantly fewer votes than his opponent, the only meaningful thing he did was massively increase the deficit and give that money to rich people, to the tune of twenty thousand dollars from every man, woman, and child in the country. And also sell state secrets to comparatively minor regional powers in the east. And we mustn't forget the million-plus excess deaths he presided over because he seems to legitimately think that things he doesn't understand can't be understood so just say whatever and let the corpses fall where they will.

The news outlets who report on this shit know this, but as far as I can tell they don't want to report on any of it because they're worried idiots will be mad at them. We need a better way, but before we can have a better way, we need to smite this movement. Nothing good can possibly come of it for anybody but Trump himself. Even his followers only stand to lose.

New poll just dropped showing him down by 3 in Iowa(!) I hope he never gets another good night's sleep as long as he lives.

Music with rocks in

I can't help thinking that if you're running for president and you decide, because reasons, that you want to climb into a big truck on camera, you should maybe get in on the driver's side. And not use a garbage truck. And not put your campaign slogan on the side of a garbage truck. And grasp the door handle firmly on your fist attempt while staying upright.

And also, just don't. But what do i know?

I don't want to rock the boat or anything, but does anybody else think that maybe we need just a tiny bit of judicial reform? It seems to me like there's an awful lot of people doing an awful lot of criming and our judicial system is apparently not that interested about stopping them until after the next election. And there's always a next election.

So far.

I crave singe damage!

I just can't with this shit any more. For all intents and purposes, we have two parties in this country. One of them incites idiots to kill immigrants and gleefully admits doing so. The other party knows that immigrants are people. And somehow the headline ends up being ... this slop.

Because Democrats are apparently not enthusiastic enough about immigrants? Or maybe just because the media is vile and only cares about the media. Either way, this is awful reporting. Equating Republicans with Democrats on immigration in any way is astoundingly dishonest and the article fails in every possible way to justify the headline.

"Then it is settled," Elrond said at last. "You shall be the Squadron of the Ring."

You should have taken them to itty bitty claims court.

France is a Schengen country. There are no meaningful border controls. He could literally take public transport all the way back to the Russian border without ever pulling his ID out of his pocket. And he probably will.
