I write about culture, politics and human behavior in the age of algorithms and digital nonsense seeking problems that don't exist.
The Right celebrates Kyle Rittenhouse, a trigger-happy vigilante shithead, but smears a dead woman as a professional agitator who said, "I'm not mad at you," to an ICE agent just before being shot. There is no longer any moral or ethical through line—only the tribal-like lobotomy of us vs. them.

Meanwhile, apparently the Epstein files aren't being released because the victims failed to protect themselves adequately, and therefore the perpetrators are guiltless. Since when has a victim's lack of preparedness or defenselessness exonerated an attacker in a criminal case?

How do you know that? Source, please.

You sound smart—they definitely aren't listening to you.

Yes, but not before giving him a faceful of mace and shouting him down as an unpatriotic paid and professional agitator.

Yes, and they were all forgiven and are waiting for us in heaven.

To MAGA, Ashli Babbitt was murdered, but Renee Nicole Good got her just desserts. Violent goons on January 6 were patriots, but civilians protecting their neighbors from ICE's extra-judicial violence are paid agitators. What was our revolution vs. the Red Coats? The bullshit can't get any thicker.

Yeah, duh, the call is coming from inside the house. How odd that despite all the Fox coverage of Biden's cognitive decline, not one peep about the obvious symphony of brain farts coming from Trump.

Funny how when it's MAGA, it's all about "money, money, money"—hats, Bibles, vodka, cologne, gold sneakers, insider trading, shady deals with Sharia law Saudi Arabia. But when anyone makes a dime advocating for their Constitutional rights, "paid" and "professional" suddenly become dirty words.

It's as if he's never heard of Christian missionaries.

It's as if he doesn't even understand how democracy works or why Putin is still in power. But it's all a ruse. He knows. Seen the numbers on the 2024 election? I'm no conspiracy theorist, but these statisticians make quite an argument for large-scale fraud. substack.com/@thiswillhol...
She Won, Part III: The Devil Is In The Data
88 counties flipped red. None flipped blue. Trump swept every swing state—each just above the mandatory recount thresholds. What are the odds? About one in never.

It's just like we saw on January 6, 2021—paid antifa agitators infiltrating loving Trump supporters, no, wait, loving Trump supporters being baited by the police who, because we back the blue, got the snot beat out of them by loving people because, you see, of election fraud that's never been found.

What bogus rationale. So, I guess now our legal system will operate by public polling results? Here they are: 54% say ICE was unjustified in shooting Renee Good; 35% say it was justified; the rest want more information. There will be no investigation, so discount the undecideds. ICE is GUILTY.

Can't wait to hear Trump brag about having the Nobel Peace Prize and acting delusional, as if he actually won it. (Like he thinks he earned the golden spoon in his trust fund baby mouth.)
