(Brief comment - for both of you. Temporarily posted for a short time:) ↓Yeah.. I've got an opinion about this guy (below) . ..Free to take or leave it:

Some MAGA people and (what aren't really but are still called) "conservatives" in the U.S. look back longingly on how (..they imagine..) the country -- and our culture -- was around 60-70+ years ago. In sum, "Leave it to Beaver"-land = "The good old days", for some.

So, especially for you: Take ANY recent performance by this "comedian" (one unusually mild clip is below) and transport it back (as is) to the bygone America that some of you may wish to drag us backwards toward.

YEAH: Those of us who were actually alive back then know EXACTLY what would have happened: The bad tomatoes and maybe a few rocks and pitchforks 🔱would have been out in force as the likely response to this guy's act.

The point: (BTW: For reference, view almost any of this person's available "performances" Note: NOT for children..:) Being an unfunny, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic vulgarian attempting to push that crap out as a form of "comedy" ..is NOT "progress", advancing the "art", or "cutting edge". IT'S JUST GARBAGE. Belittling, divisive garbage. Period. Too often it is a pretext or cover to disparage - and hate upon - other human beings.

(Part of..) What I'd say to Shane Gillis -- or at least about your cringe-y ACT: "Fat, vulgar and bigoted is no way to go through life, son." ..Kindly(?) leave the rest of us -- who know better, who were likely raised better, and who can conduct ourselves better -- OUT.

(Copy, no affiliation. Warning: Just one mild sample of unfunny, skirting-upon racist etc. etc. brief comments:)

"'Horrific': Thousands of flood survivors called for aid — but FEMA didn’t answer"


Source article link: https://www.rawstory.com/fema-2673142115/

↓Also: Reposted 7/12/25 AI fact-check summary, per ChatGPT.com:

"In **short**: yes, FEMA did **not** answer thousands of calls during and just after the Texas floods, and the main reason was a **bureaucratic delay in renewing call‑center contracts** under new spending controls mandated by Noem."

************************************************************

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 P.S...An actual reported quotation from a supposed "leader" ...someone above you and me..(??):

"“These contracts were in place, and those people were in those call centers, and they were picking up the phone and answering these calls from these individuals. So that report needs to be validified,” Noem said, making up a new word — “validified.”"

(Source article link:) https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/texas-fema-calls-kristi-noem-fake-news-1235384583/

Insert: ↓Excerpts from a plausible explanation for Kristi Noem, and those of her kind:

"...In the world of MAGA, stupidity is a badge of honor for both sexes, but the heads of women need to be thoroughly empty. Book learning, in MAGA-land, is for lesbians and cat ladies. Intelligence gets in the way of the true duties of MAGA womanhood: keeping up your highly artificial appearance and, crucially, defending the man you serve with your whole heart and soul. Especially if said man, in this case Donald Trump, is himself dumber than a box of rocks. It's so much easier to be a yes-woman for such a man if you turn your own brain off completely..."

"...The 20th-century version of the "bimbo" was dim, but almost always good-hearted, exhibiting a childlike generosity to others. The innovation of the MAGA movement, however, is to make the bimbo a nasty figure, as cruel as she is dumb. In the past, what men wanted from a bimbo was someone with dog-like loyalty. For the right-wing man of our time, the craving is more for an attack dog, someone who will charge in to fight your battles, unconstrained by intellectual concerns about whether doing so makes sense."

"The Trump administration has ordered 500 metric tons of emergency food aid—enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week—to be incinerated tomorrow rather than be distributed as part of its ongoing purge of USAID. The high-energy biscuits, intended for children under five living in war and disaster zones, are currently being stored in a warehouse in Dubai and were meant to be shipped out this year, but will instead go to waste due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively halting nearly all forms of foreign aid. Current and former aid workers, speaking anonymously for fear of retaliation, told The Atlantic that the sheer scale of waste is unprecedented."

2/9/25 article excerpt:

"..The second Trump administration’s brazen pattern of blowing through myriad apparent legal limits has prompted debate about its intentions. One theory is that it is deliberately setting up test cases that would ultimately pave the way for the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed supermajority to expand presidential power by striking down the statutes as unconstitutional.

But the escalating pace of courtroom clashes has raised the question of what would happen if Mr. Trump simply started ignoring decisions he did not like, rather than appealing them. The result would be a constitutional crisis."

"Trump's MAGA allies gloat Project 2025 "is the agenda""

Reality:

10/29/24 article link: "New UMass Amherst Poll Finds ‘Project 2025’ Policy Proposals Wildly Unpopular Among Americans"


Excerpt:

"...strong majorities of Americans express opposition to key tenets of the conservative playbook. ...Six in 10 of the survey’s respondents oppose eliminating the Department of Education and firing civil servants and replacing them with political appointees loyal to the president, a majority opposes cutting funding for renewable energy research and investment, and a whopping 74% oppose restricting women’s access to contraception. The jury has decided on Project 2025 and Americans are clearly not in favor of the changes that the conservative agenda proposes."


Another: 

1/11/24: "Americans oppose most Trump policies"


Excerpt:

"...On 30 policy ideas presented to a national pool of respondents, 22 saw a majority oppose the idea. Only four had majority approval."

 

>>> Insert: Oh. ..That "mass deportation" plan from the new monarch/wannabe dictator?

>>>> FURTHER:

..As "the enemy from within", let's be sure to keep track...: "Every Awful Thing Trump Has Promised to Do in a Second Term"

(Brief excerpt:)

- "He will indict Biden and his other political enemies

-  He will round up, detain, and deport undocumented immigrants — and some documented ones, too

-  He will send the military to the border — and potentially use it against Americans who oppose him"

..Etc.

11/17/24 addendum. AMEN:

Article excerpt:

"...Mr. Trump’s voters are granted a level of care and coddling that defies credulity and that is afforded to no other voting bloc. Many of them believe the most ludicrous things: babies being aborted after birth and children going to school as one gender and returning home surgically altered as another gender even though these things simply do not happen. Time and again, we hear the wild lies these voters believe and we act as if they are sharing the same reality as ours, as if they are making informed decisions about legitimate issues. We act as if they get to dictate the terms of political engagement on a foundation of fevered mendacity.

We must refuse to participate in a mass delusion. We must refuse to accept that the ignorance on display is a congenital condition rather than a choice. All of us should refuse to pretend that any of this is normal and that these voters are just woefully misunderstood and that if only the Democrats addressed their economic anxiety, they might vote differently. While they are numerous, that does not make them right.

These are adults, so let us treat them like adults. Let us acknowledge that they want to believe nonsense and conjecture. They want to believe anything that affirms their worldview. They want to celebrate a leader who allows them to nurture their basest beliefs about others. The biggest challenge of our lifetime will be figuring out how to combat the American willingness to embrace flagrant misinformation and bigotry."

....↓As of 11/20/24:

Article excerpt:

"Measured both by vote percentages and by raw votes, Trump’s margin of victory is modest, even compared with this century’s other close elections.

For votes counted through Nov. 20, Trump’s margin over Harris was 1.62%. That’s smaller than any winner since Bush in 2000, when the margin was 0.51%. Going back further, only John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Nixon in 1968 won the popular vote by smaller margins, 0.17% and 0.7%, respectively."

And: ↓Truth, vs. Republican GARBAGE:

(Article excerpt:)

"...In this multistage process of inflation’s arc, the American Rescue Plan played a minimal role. The stages would have occurred regardless of whether the plan was $2 trillion, $1 trillion or $500 billion. It simply takes a long time for economies to adjust to massive shocks like the pandemic.

This conclusion might strain credulity to those accustomed to hearing the typical mantra that fiscal excess triggered inflation. There are some common-sense pieces of evidence supporting our conclusion.

For starters, look across countries. If the American Rescue Plan caused inflation, we should see that countries that provided more of such covid relief experienced more inflation. Yet other countries, including Germany and Britain, did a lot less covid relief and experienced similar inflation to the United States...

A reposted 11/5/24 observation. The politics of hate and division won. U.S. democracy and the rule of law lost (again). (Updated)

 (Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)


"I keep thinking about the Supreme Court. Remember that these justices (including Trump’s three appointees) protected him from legal accountability for Jan. 6, blocking a trial that should have started and finished last spring. Should he win, Trump will fire Jack Smith and drop the Jan. 6 case as soon as he is inaugurated. In sum: Trump tried overturn a free and fair election by illegal and violent means, and because of John Roberts and his colleagues, not only will he never pay a price for it; he will be rewarded with another term."

Just a few rhetorical questions for all -- especially those who voted for Trump rule: 

..We've apparently elected a convicted criminal/adjudicated sexual abuser to the U.S. presidency: 

- Will basic, everyday laws 'on the books' still be enforced? Or, will those no longer 'really' matter anymore. (Or, will people need to be of only one political persuasion to get such help?)

..Hey: It generally doesn't seem to matter for at least one leading person in the U.S., who apparently has shown that he is likely above the law... E.g., in the future if I call the police about a crime (minor or major), will I get a response? An investigation? 

- Will courts continue to try cases and render judgments, or does that also not 'really' matter anymore? 

- Will convicted criminals continue to serve jail sentences, or doesn't that really matter anymore? (..At least in certain cases...)


P.S. One more: ...How does one explain all of this to one's children, if one is not trying to raise criminals/tyrants..?
