GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY HOMOSEXUAL GAY GAY GAY
Reports have confirmed that authorities are rounding up gay men in Chechnya and detaining them in concentration-type camps (I use "type" because I hesitate to invoke the full force of the term given what they were 80 years ago; but they might be for all I know). Good sources are cited here ( Read more... ) -
In the Age of Nuclear Cheeto, Year 1, Day 78
I see the Senate has illegally confirmed Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. Which is about right - to paraphrase my sister, a legitimate president who actually won the majority of his votes for both terms and strove to remain ethically even-keeled can't choose a justice even when he goes to effort to pick a candidate like Merrick Garland to appeal ( Read more... ) -
New digs
So I suppose this will become my chief home, instead of LJ. I'm still importing comments and entries, but that should be done shortly. I will also be transferring over turningpirate.dreamwidth.org - not sure as the main site or as a backup to LJ. I haven't decided on that one yet - it's not used for personal political and social views, just fandom ( Read more... ) -
In the Age of Nuclear Cheeto, Year 1, Day 55
Am I the only one who thinks Trump leaked those 2 pages of his 2005 tax return himself to the press in order to distract people protesting the GOP Obamacare replacement disaster ( Read more... ) -
In the Age of Nuclear Cheeto, Year 1, Day 54
This won't be a long entry. It's about my friend MT. She technically has an LJ account, though I don't know if she still reads this platform; a lot of people don't. I don't mind if she reads this, I'm just observing she might not ( Read more... ) -

In the Age of Nuclear Cheeto, Year 1, Day 26
Hello darkness, my old friend. I thought you were banished in late 2008, when my fellow white voters proved they might be xenophobes, they might still be racists, but at least they were cognizant enough of basic economics to be frightened by any more years of warmongering, wealthy-enhancing Republican policies leading to another crash like the one ( Read more... ) -
In the Age of Nuclear Cheeto, Year 1, Day 10
I am on my eighth lifetime president (nine if you count Nixon ... which I can't because I don't remember him), so I have seen some greed in decision-making. But what I'm used to are under-the-radar actions and policies and laws that eventually put those passing them into position to profit from their actions. I'm used to corruption being a long ( Read more... ) -
In the Age of Nuclear Cheeto, Year 1, Day 6
So today, Nukie - or "Assclown," as I like to call him - decreed we're going to spend our own money to build a wall between us and Mexico. It matters not that we've been experiencing net loss immigration for years, nor that a wall isn't going to be enough to keep out dedicated invaders, and that it's going to cost a king's ransom and tear up more ( Read more... ) -
In the Age of Nuclear Cheeto, Year 1, Day 4
Wow, Republicans sure are copacetic with Presidential Executive Orders so long as it's not a Democrat issuing them, aren't they? How many is Cheeto going to sign this week alone, do you reckon ( Read more... )
