Long Night's Journey into the Day


"To those that can hear me I say, Do not despair. The misery that is upon us is but the passing of greed; the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress."

Charlie Chaplin, from The Great Dictator.

Yesterday, at a retirement community in Florida - the largest of its kind in the entire United States - the unhinged psychopath and common pervert currently masquerading as our 45th president held one of the largest rallies thus far in this campaign. At the present moment, the death and infection rates in that state are through the roof. The most vulnerable are the elderly. Most of the crowd attending the festivities yesterday were elderly. The overwhelming majority of the people in that crowd were over sixty-five and not wearing face masks. He currently has planned at least eight more of these kind of rallies between today and the election. Ain't that something?

It is my belief that he is purposely trying to spread the virus so that, when the catastrophic wave of death and disease possibly  hits the nation in less than ten days, he will use the chaos as an excuse to shut down the elections and proclaim, 

"NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!"

 Donald Trump is guilty of mass murder and mass criminally negligent homicide. If he is not tried for his crimes against the human race when this era of stupidity is mercifully behind us, then there is something seriously wrong with the United States of America.

Idiot Nation

We're not as far away as you might imagine from the worst that can possibly come to the American Experiment. With nine days left until the election of 2020, and with COVID cases skyrocketing across the country (in spite of the pleas from public health officials for people to wear masks and practice social distancing) we find ourselves teetering at the very cliff's-edge of our existence. For those of you who mistakenly find yourselves thinking that the hideous old freak has done as much damage to this republic as is possible for one man to do, and that he cannot possibly do any more, you might want to reassess your position on that point. The disturbing fact is that, in the two months, three weeks and five days left until Inauguration Day, Donald Trump is perfectly capable (and quite willing, I'm sure) of doing a lot more damage to this already thoroughly damaged nation. Does that sound like a stretch? Perhaps it is. I'll tell you what: let's all vote for the silly bastard on November 3 and see what happens.

The fact that, in spite of everything, he still holds a positive approval rating among forty percent of the country is a statistic that is too depressing for rational analyzing. To tell you the truth, I'm no longer even remotely comfortable living in a nation where that many people are so thoroughly brainwashed and undeniably mean-spirited. 

This is the same country that organized scrap metal drives nearly eighty years ago to save the world from the menace of Hitler and the axis powers; it's the same country that rationed petro, butter and coffee for the purpose of having more of these things supplied to the troops doing the fighting and dying on the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific. Today, we are unable to persuade so huge a number of the grandchildren of those Americans who sacrificed so much eight decades ago to even wear a goddamned face mask to protect their fellow citizens - and themselves - from sickness and death. 

"Disgusting" and "pathetic" are words too polite. If we were living through "The Greatest Generation" and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were the president, the COVID-19 pandemic would barely have made a dent on our national health. 

That was then. This is now.

My hope was that, after the disaster of the Bush 43 White House, the American people would finally wake up and realize what a detrimental thing right wing governance is to their precious lives. Wishful thinking, I know. The first piece I ever wrote on this site fourteen years ago was called "George W. Bush: The Last Republican President". I'm a bit wiser in 2020 than I was in 2006. I'm not naïve enough to believe that the inmates of this doomed nation are bound to change anytime soon - or at least not in my lifetime. These generational periods of extremist lunacy we will have to come to expect as a matter of inevitability every eight or twelve years or so. Not even the disastrous, figurative earthquakes and tsunamis that are routine in the age of Donald Trump are going to change what is an unexplainable quirk in the dark recesses of the American psyche. It's something that we're all going to have to learn to live with, I suppose.

Hi ho, everybody, hi ho.

Keith Olbermann is back doing daily commentary on YouTube, and I couldn't be happier about it.
 
 
His absence from the public forum during this unprecedented age of Donald Trump has been deeply felt. Better late than never, ay? Welcome back to the arena, Keith. You were missed.
 
AFTERTHOUGHT, 11:30 AM:
 
Is stealing ever justified?
If your child is hungry and you need to steal a loaf of bread and a pint of milk in order to feed that child, then, yes, stealing is more than justified. Blessed are the meek - even though they be forced to resort to theft. Even if they be sent to prison for their offense. That is why our prisons are filled with people for whom poverty is almost like an old and dysfunctional friend. Rich people don't go to prison - unless they steal from other rich people.
Breathe in the crisp, Autumn air.

”...He still holds a positive approval rating among forty percent of the country is a statistic that is too depressing for rational analyzing.

There are a lot of idiots, racists, and authoritarian personalites in the US.

In September, Gallup reported that Trump's job approval rating among Black Americans hovers at 11%. According to a January 2020 Washington Post/Ipsos poll, more than 8-in-10 black Americans believe that Trump is a racist.

This indicates just under half of America’s Black authoritarian personalities support Trump.

A quarter to a third of the people from every population, nation, and ethnic group have an authoritarian personality. Authoritarian followers are loyal to their authoritarian leaders, and are suspicious and frightened by unfamiliar people and ideas. Science, education and journalism are often at odds with their political/religious indoctrination or economic agenda, so they mistrust any information not provided by their biased propagandists.

Authoritarians respect only other authoritarians.

This is why Trump praises autocrats and demonizes educators, scientists, and journalists. This is why his authoritarian base misunderstands and hates the rest of us.

(Bob Altemeyer’s book on authoritarian personalities is available for download.)

The brains of authoritarian personalites are different from most of the population. The fear is hard wired in their brain’s amygdala. It is a marker of authoritarian personalities.

“We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala”.

Every authoritarian, white racist and bigot supports Trump. They are his base. Trump is an authoritarian leader, so that segment will follow him no matter what. The other ten to fifteen percent that support him are largely corporate greedheads, crooked banksters, polluters, and other corrupt business and financial interests, along with indoctrinated, low-information dupes of FOX(R) and far Right media. Without authoritarian personalities, racists, bigots, idiots and greedheads, Trump’s base would melt into insignificance.

Glorious news, comrades!

California First Comrade Gavin Newsom has decreed that you may freely celebrate Thanksgiving.

With certain restrictions for the benefit of all citizens, of course.

Here are the First Comrade’s instructions to you on this glorious day of freedom:

Your free celebration must be held outside.
Guests may use the bathroom inside, but only if sanitized.
Masks must stay on at all times except when placing turkey ration into your own mouth.
Singing is “strongly discouraged.”
Your free celebration may not last longer than two hours.
Six-foot social distancing mandates at all times, including during the turkey ration part of the free celebration.
No more than three households may participate in any one free celebration.

Life in a Blue State.

Yes "LIFE" in a Blue State (or any state). That's the goal; preservation of life.

If you think mocking Covid-19 is an effective deterrent, go ahead and attend a maskless, non-distancing, non-disinfecting all day super spreader event.

We'll see who the turkeys really are in December.

I thought Tom promised us a "catastrophic wave of death and disease possibly hits the nation in less than ten days" because of Trump's "super spreader event"?

"So Trump could "shut down the elections and proclaim,

"NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!"

Now you are saying the "catastrophic wave of death and disease" won't hit till after the election? Whose science should I follow, yours or Tom's?

 
At 2:02 AM, Blogger JustMusing said...

Anon:

Really??? Well I'll just check my calendar for a moment. Let's see the election is Nov 3 and Trump is having multiple SSE rallys several weeks in a row before the election. So Tom could well be right. In fact he is already right. Even the freaking White House was/is ground zero as an SSE. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/10/05/coronavirus-super-spreader-events-what-we-know-them/3617277001/

Now, Thanksgiving is Nov 26 and those folks that gather in large groups to celebrate without taking proper precautions will be SSE's same as Trump and Pences rallys are. Another wave of D&D will show up in December too.

Same Science works for both narratives.

Unlike your false equivalency which assumes different sciences? Weird.

Just Musing,

JTF doesn't like politically incorrect science. You know, the science Trump and con-servatives find unsuitable to the agenda of the radical Right. The same is true for journalism and facts that don't conform to their beliefs and leaders' dogma.

There are a number of cases of MAGAts who have died from the disease Trump has downplayed. For some reason Chris Christie is now admitting he was wrong for not wearing a mask. Why is that?

The cult doesn't even care about their own. Life has always been a secondary concern to fascists.

Will President Trump shut down the election of Nov. 3rd and proclaim,

Or will the "catastrophic wave of death and disease" hit in Dec. after the election?

 
At 7:55 PM, Blogger JustMusing said...

Dave Dubya,

So here we are in the waning days of a presidential election and still sorting reason for the maladapted views of Trump's cultish followers.

I think there are no more reasons to do so as the results regarding ongoing SSE's will speak for themselves in one or two weeks time.

I'd like to make a couple of points regarding Tom's Long Night rant and please note these are my opinions.

Tom posited, "when the catastrophic wave of death and disease possibly hits the nation" (the key word being possibly). Not hard to parse or understand that he was making an argument that Trump might try and use such an outcome as an excuse to declare a National Emergency and attempt an illegal shut down of the elections.

Trump would again be oxymoronically trying to have it both ways; on one hand, he's screaming that we've rounded the round and Covid is over and of no concern. And then on the other hand, he would start screaming Covid-19 is actually real, because he and so many others got it. So shut down the elections. Well, over 60 million votes have already been cast while Covid-19 cases and deaths continue to rage and wreak havoc.

Just another false flag among the thousands Trump has tried to wave in our faces.

Sorry Trump, you don't have that power. It rests solely with Congress.
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-cant-cancel-or-postpone-the-november-election-over-coronavirus-2020-3

It's way too late for Trump. But I don't doubt for a second he will gin up several somethings to try and make himself the victor.

Covid rising to record levels over the last week. It won't be getting any better over the next week as Pence and Trump continue to add to the total with their SSE's.

Part of the cause: https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/healthcare/news/2020/10/26/492430/trump-rallies-often-followed-increases-local-covid-19-cases/

A Trump style Thanksgiving SSE will have similar results, but numbers won't be known until December.

Anticlimactic anyway as Trump has already declared Covid a "NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!".

I'm curious. Do you dislike that DJT made torture and cruelty to animals a FELONY, or dislike that he signed the 'Save Our Seas Act' which funds $10 million per year to help international efforts to clean tons of plastic and garbage from the ocean? Does your dislike stem from him giving billions to help in stopping the rampant opioid crisis, or because he wanted to secure the border to keep criminals, human trafficking and drugs from free flow into the country? Do you dislike that he has made a commitment to end child-trafficking and crimes against humanity that has resulted in 1000’s of arrests already? Surely not. It must be something else.

Do you dislike him because we are now energy independent and a net exporter of oil to the world, or that ISIS is destroyed, and that Arabs and Jews are talking peace once again? Do you dislike that he’s ending wars?

Do you dislike that he’s winning and signing new trade deals that benefit Americans instead of costing us our economy? Or do you dislike him because he just slashed the price for medications in some cases 50%, which is driving big Pharma nuts? Or do you dislike that he signed a law ending the gag-order on pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving options on prescriptions?

Do you dislike him because he has been successful in returning some important manufacturing to our land and despite the health crisis, he created a record number of new jobs? Or do you dislike him because has signed USMCA and other international agreements bringing business to our farmers and small businesses, thus benefiting us all?

Or maybe you just dislike the fact that he made a gay man the ambassador of Germany and then asked him to clean up national security and unclassified as much of it as possible for transparency? Or do you dislike that he’s kept almost every campaign promise (with a Congress who work against him daily!) plus 100 more promises because Washington was much more broken than he thought? Do you dislike like that he works for free, donating his salary to different charities?

Or maybe you dislike that what he’s done for the black community? Do you dislike that he listened to senator Scott and passed Invest In Opportunity Zones to help minority business? Do you dislike that he passed prison reform, which gives people a second chance and has made quite a huge difference for the black communities? I'll bet it rubs you raw that he has been praised for his work by the most unlikely representatives of the black community.

Do you dislike that he loves America and puts Americans first? Do you dislike that he loves his flag and his country, that he respects cops, veterans, ICE & First Responders? Do you dislike that he passed VA reforms to benefit the very people who served our country and defend our freedom? Do you dislike he’s brought home over 40 Americans held captive, the last one from Iran?

 
At 8:54 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Do you dislike that he does not sell out America to other countries, like the leaders prior to him have done? Do you dislike that he’s making the world pay their fair share for the UN for protection?

Could it be possible that the ones who SELL OUT America to line their pockets OWN THE MEDIA AND HOLLYWOOD and hate him so much for trying to expose them and hate him for putting the PEOPLE first that they manipulate our thinking and control the information we get to steer US to hate him? Do you dislike that he calls out and has shown all of us that they ARE Fake News, and they twist the truth to control and mislead the people? These people benefit when you hate the man trying to stop them… so they won’t have to give up the wealth they have gotten and continue to get thru taxation and control. Wouldn’t you at least want to RESEARCH this possibility?

Do you actually believe the President encouraged America to inject bleach? They won't tell you the good he has done despite all their the pushback, they tell lies. They want you to believe he is stupid because if you figure out that he isn’t, they will lose billions of dollars and their control over you. Your cultivated BLIND hatred of this man who is literally trying to stave off Socialism is going to be detrimental to our country if you continue to support their hatred. The media has hated him from day one. Impeachment was on the table before he even took the oath of office. He’s never given a chance, yet in 4 years has shown unimagined results that would be hailed as greatness if done by others. He is far from the uncaring monster he is made out to be.

Results don’t lie. Leftist Do.

On Thursday, Biden campaign spokesman Jamal Brown did not deny former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski’s claims that he met with Joe Biden in person in 2017. In a blockbuster interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, Bobulinski claimed that Hunter Biden introduced him to Joe Biden and explained that Joe Biden had been involved in his son’s business deals with China. The Democratic nominee has insisted he never talked business with Hunter.

Brown had an opportunity to deny the meeting ever took place, but he refused to answer the question.

"One officer advising 8 to 9 elderly people who are struggling," posted Omaha Scanner.

The Washington Post reports:

Five Reagan White House lawyers endorse Biden, saying Trump has ‘fomented hatred’

“Mr. Trump’s lawless, amoral and dishonorable ethos makes a mockery of the democratic accountability that is fostered through respect for law and our constitutional principles,” they write in an open letter today explaining their decision to endorse Joe Biden. “He has overtly refused to honor the independence of the judiciary, failed to acknowledge the authority of Congress and the corresponding constraints imposed on a president by the separation of powers, demonized the free press that speaks truth to power, and undermined due process and the fair administration of justice by relentlessly politicizing the investigation and enforcement of the criminal law.”

“Chanting ‘lock him (or her) up’ or ‘enemy of the people’ are statements we could not have imagined Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush – or any president before this one – uttering about a political opponent or about some of our leading news organizations,” they write. “Those ugly sentiments are the very antithesis of American ideals and echo the authoritarian tyrants that every previous president would have challenged.”

The signatories are Peter Keisler, Robert Kruger, Alan Charles Raul and J. Michael Shepherd, who were all appointed by Reagan to be associate White House counsels, as well as Nicholas Rostow, who was the legal adviser to the National Security Council. Raul and Rostow also served under President George H.W. Bush.

Well, you know Dave, they're just RINOs.

Or some other kneejerk, tone deaf, head-in-the-sand dismissal.

Really; When so many people are saying your guy is the asshole, maybe you should start believing them. At least Donald Trump's got the support of Brett Favre and Kirstie Alley.

Jordan Klepper Hits One Last Trump Rally Before the Election | The Daily Social Distancing Show

"I'm calling 47 states for Trump."

‘I don't know what you're talking about."

Woman Trump Supporter upset over Hunter Biden:
...Make a ton of money and do absolutely nothing, except say, “Hey, you can meet my dad”.

Klepper:
That’s a disgusting trait, right? To just use your father’s name and make money off that?

Woman Trump Supporter:
That’s right. Nepotism needs to be looked into big time.

Klepper:
Yes! What do you think of Ivanka?

Woman Trump Supporter:
Oh, she’s so gracious!


Just don’t call them stupid, amirite?

It was not a political article, it was about the mental development of children and the first article I have seen on the subject. Russia Today is not Right wing but I guess you never read it so your are ignorant of its content.

When is Trump going to shut down the election?

Clucky, Do you think that if Biden wins, trump will just concede quietly and leave the WH?

He or his enablers have tried everything from sabotaging the postal service to thwart mail in voting, to cooking up batshit conspiracies about laptops and blind technicians.

I think that HE will never accept the election results and he will have to be escorted out of the WH by federal marshals.

He's actually mentioned "postponing" the election until "we can make sure the process isn't corrupted"
Too late for that now, but he's a cornered rat...it'll get interesting.

CDC reports only about 6% of Corona Virus deaths are directly related to the virus. Of 224,000 deaths more and 130,000 are flu or pneumonia related. CV19 was nothing but an aside, unrelated cause.
94% are related to pre-existing comorbidity, serious illness like cancer, and/or advanced age. Most, as in Italy, were not expected to live out the year 2020.

"Ever since Donald Trump won in 2016, Democrats across the nation have been in the throes of a mental health crisis. They had a serious case of denial of reality when Trump won — refusing to believe that Hillary Clinton lost legitimately — and proceeding to cook-up the most fantastical conspiracy theory in modern political history: that Donald Trump was a traitor to the United States of America because the Russians helped him win.

The preposterous nature of the charge seemed to feed the Democrat’s frenzy. Anything became possible in a world with Trump as president. Dark forces were loosed upon the land. There were enemies everywhere — white supremacists, patriots, hard-looking men with guns, Nazis, kluxers, and — worst of all — Republicans. Democrats convinced themselves in their delusions that it was up to them to “save America.” That’s very nice, I’m sure, but save us from exactly what?

Every single charge the leftist/liberals/Democrats have made, every warning they’ve given about Trump’s “dictatorship” and “the end of democracy” has proven to be nothing more than the hysterical rantings of mentally ill people. No journalists have gone to jail. No newspapers have been shut down. No TV networks have gone dark. No websites have been shuttered. No loss of freedom of speech — except for the right-wing that dares counter the paranoid narrative of Trump as Hitler."

Thank you for admitting the problem, but you can't fix racism and authoritarianism. We can only try to keep them out of power in our government.

Rick Moran is an authoritarian liar.

How can we know they are authoritarians? They vote for the leader who threatens to imprison opponents and says, “Knock the crap out of them. I will pay the legal fees.”

In Trump’s America, the El Paso massacre was committed by a far Right fascist bent on killing Mexicans.

It ain’t a free country when the leader calls the press “enemies of the people” and his terrorist thugs send bomb threats to CNN.

They are Nationalist American Zealots for Inequality

There’s the fascism, in plain sight. I hate American N.A.Z.I.s.

Racism isn't racism to racists.
A cult isn't a cult to a cult.

Clucky acts like republicans didn;t go all the way Crazy when Obama was LEGALLY ELECTED, saying he wasn't born in the USA or that he didn;t earn his college degrees.

Then they just refused to work with him, even when he tried to pass THEIR OWN healthcare plan.

You must have been under your Iowa City rock cause there weren't any riots or mostly peaceful protests. Obama had the House and the Senate in his democrat pocket, so stop your whining. It's the left that is violent and is planning to do more regardless of the elections outcome..You want proof, I'd give you proof but you will crawl back under you rock and whine about an opposition party not working with Obama.

Hey stupid, that's what opposition party's do, look up current speaker of the House for examples. Like impeachment IS working with the President?

What an idiot.

Another question is what Red run cites will burn regardless of who wins? Can we start a list if them now with the chances that they will?

Portland 85%
Seattle 99%
Chicago ?

TB3,

Poor JTF is just trying to play his victim card. Just look at how the Right has no cable and radio broadcast networks. All shut down by the Left. No newspapers are endorsing Trump. And look at how the evil Left has been suppressing white conservative voters. Oh the horror! The terrible fake horror!

And Trump has never fired inspectors general for investigating corruption, and others for simply testifying and telling the truth under oath, amirite? He would also never fire anyone who didn't swear their loyalty to the Supreme Leader, would he?

Of course not. THAT would be dictatorial.

For some reason Trump and his cult hate the same kind of people Hitler hated. Liberals, socialists, educators, and journalists were all enemies of the Third Reich, and now they are enemies of the Trump Reich. Just don't call them fascists. It will make them very angry and they will want to lock you up.

And if anyone cared to look, they would find numerous cases of journalists beaten, shot with rubber bullets, gassed, arrested and taken to jail just for covering protests. Then there's that Assange guy who is still locked up.

Oops, I guess I proved JTF wrong again.
