The Overton Window has turned me into a flaming liberal. Attorney, law professor, LGBTQ+ supporter, and velomobile rider. No DMs and no porn please.
Today's Jeopardy question:

Because Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, estimated at more than five times that of the United States.

Today's Jeopardy answer:

Why are we starting a war with Venezuela, starting with blowing up boats, followed by a huge naval and Marine build-up?

I'm starting to think we should elect people based on their internet history. Here's a hint - the more anti-X they are, the more their porn viewing is of X. If X is LQBTQ+, the internet history is chock-full of gay porn. And if it's child porn, well, let's not even talk about it.

If you think of Trump, not as President, not as reality TV star, not real estate magnate, but as the person he is, a person with an IQ in the low 80s who was born to unimaginable wealth and never told he was wrong, everything he does or says falls into place.

For those who understand the rule of law, this should terrify you:

The United States Supreme Court is about to decide that a statute is constitutional until, in the majority's personal opinions, it has outlived its usefulness - then it's unconstitutional.

I am coming to the most fatalistic, depressing, & inescapable conclusion of my political life.

A majority of Americans truly believe the US should be white, Christian, & of Western European descent, & everybody else is just a guest, tolerated only with good behavior (behavior acceptable to them).

If the People can no longer turn to the law, where must the People turn?

The People must rebel.*

*This is the worst possible, yet only, answer. And I'm twisted in knots looking for another one.

Mayors of cities about to be invaded by Trump's ICE and National Guard invasion (which has nothing to do with crime rates and everything to do with performative politics) should do the following:

On painting The Wall black:

Mexican scientists are already working on a way to defeat this ingenious wall. In fact, they are already testing some of their experimental devices in the US. If you see a roofing truck it might actually be Mexican scientists.

Imagine if half the cars on the road had Mexican flag window stickers. The racist bully bastards wearing masks and ICE vests would devolve in mumbling puddles of goo from the combination of over-stimulation and lack of satisfaction. Think of it as Bigot’s Blue Balls.
Reposting until it's a movement.

Who hurt you more today?

1. The homeless person living on the street, asking you for change?
2. The CEO who took the $1,000,000 in profit you helped generate and gave it himself as a bonus, instead of giving you a $2.00/hour raise?

FWI (F'ing with ICE): Project "Bigot's Blue Balls"

[Warning, this is a project for American-born white people only - I would never ask Black or Brown friends to take this risk.]

1. Put a Mexican flag bumper sticker on your car or truck.

By the middle of his second term, Donald Trump‘s dementia and paranoia could no longer be concealed from those around him. It started with the death of Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, when his plane fell from the skies over the Pacific Ocean.

The President of the United States refers to bankers as “Shylocks.”

Nothing to see here, right?

Any Jew who thinks Trump is our friend is out of their dammed mind.

The number of trans athletes at the elite level (Div. I college, Olympics, professional, etc.) is infinitesimal, and each sport's leading body sets rules on time, hormones, etc. But let's not talk about those.

I know that this is not going to be a popular idea, but I don't think going to protests is productive. It simply give TACO Don the pictures he wants - even if non-violent, FOX News will mix images of protests with images of violence (even if from another time or even another country).
