Biloxi Boo's

So at a campaign rally-yes, a campaign rally for the midterms which are over, but in Missouri they're having a run off. Evidently Missourians are having a hard time deciding between Democrat Mike Espy and noted racist and public hanging supporter Cindy Hyde-Smith for the U.S. Senate.

"I'm sorry, are you saying it's racist to send your kid to a whites-only school and
wish the Confederacy had won the war so we could still own-oh, now I hear it."

-Cindy Hyde-Smith, seeing the error of-

just kidding, she still loves segregation

Pictured: Roy Moore, seen here
inexplicably not going to prison.

Yup, Missouri Republican voters have their heads so far up their own ideologies that they'd rather have a racist than a Democrat. According to Missouri RNC committeeman Henry Barbour: "We don't want to have an Alabama." Which, sure. Nobody wants an Alabama. But Barbour is referring to last year's special election in Alabama in which Republicans ran Roy Moore, a rapist, against Democrat Doug Jones. Jones won by twenty thousand votes and that's super, but should it have been that close?

Where was I? Right, the campaign rally for lynching enthusiast Cindy Hyde-Smith where an appearance by Donald Trump is seen by voters as a plus and not, you know, a skin-crawling and cheeseburger-scented kiss of death. I'm beginning to think that this is a sign that Republicans, like as a thing, are just different from us.

Any rational person would be unnerved by the
thought of Donald Trump lurking behind them.

Above: the opposite of what he just said.

Anyway, Trump had this to say of the asylum-seekers he recently sent armed U.S. troops to the border defend us against:

"You know you hear these stories about, oh, they don't commit crimes, we commit crimes, they don't commit crimes. Always it's us. No, no, it doesn't work that way. It's fake news."

-The President, rolling out 

all the old favorites again 

...yeah, but if you go by the numbers, immigrants do commit less crime. Of course, if you're going by the numbers Hillary Clinton should be President so here we are. Speaking of crime, did you know that Democrats love crime? According to Trump, "Democrats have become the party of caravans and crime." And "Democrats want to turn America into one giant sanctuary city for violent criminals and MS13 gang members." 

"Damn you Donald Trump! Once again you've seen through  our carefully spun web of
deceit. Yes, there's nothing the Democratic party loves more than crime and murderous gangs."

-Nancy Pelosi on Donald Trump's

first-rate detective skills

It 'd like a Rorschach test. Either you see
troops using tear gas on asylum seekers
and are appalled, or you're a Republican.

Wait, party of crime? Some strong words given the number of Trump administration officials who've been indicted, convicted or struck plea deals and the fact that the President is himself under investigation-but ok. Anyway Hyde-Smith, the likely winner of today's runoff, is a public execution fan who misses the antebellum South (which is weird because Missouri wasn't a Confederate state) and her rally yesterday went bananas for the President as he spouted racist nonsense about immigrants and crime, and then blamed the migrants for getting in the way of our tear gas. Holy shit, right? I mean, how are we all from the same country?

Today in grim portents of a bleak future:

Hey, it turns out that despite reassurances from a reality show host with no background in climatology whatsoever, climate change is not a hoax but actually happening.

"No shit..."

-The people who used to live in what is now a

 burnt-out hellscape just north of Sacramento

Oh wipe those stupid grins off your
stupid faces. You're generation is still
doomed, it's just that so are we now.

According to the Fourth National Climate Assessment, which is due out next month, but released today, more on that in a bit, but according the report our impact on the environment is directly responsible for the uptick in natural disasters like hurricanes and wild fires. It explains that our continued recklessness when it comes to not ruining the planet we live on will have a devastating consequences for our lives now and is not, as we've hoped up to this point, just some vague menace our children and grandchildren will have to deal with long after we're all dead.

"What can I say? We hate prosperity."

Still don't care? Well then hold on to your portfolio, because not only will the effects of climate change continue to kill people, it will also harm our economy. Projected losses to the U.S. economy could be in the hundreds of billions-yes, with a 'B'-of dollars. Can you believe it? Our precious economy! And after all that hard work Donald Trump has done to make it so great, here comes climate change to ruin everything. That's the Democrats for you.

Wait, is the economy doing well, or just the people who play the stock market? I ask because everyone else has like three jobs and still can't afford rent...

"Whaaat? No, no, the economy's doing great! Trust us. We'll just keep doing
our stock...things. and it'll start trickling down you the rest of you any minute now."

-People whose job is to make 

money using other money

"Pfftt...I can quit any time I want."

-America

Oh and if your wondering why this shocking report about our increasingly irreversible fate was released on the day after Thanksgiving when everyone is busy recovering from their turducken hangovers and stocking up on unbeatable holiday deals on consumer electronics, stop wondering. It's because the President is hoping we won't look up from our Oculus Rifts and spongy, leftover stuffing long enough to see how utterly screwed we are by our almost comically stubborn refusal to do anything about it.

"Yes...they should find new jobs.
Our future literally depends on it."

-The 325 million of us
who aren't coal miners

Wait, are we stubborn or just powerless in the face of lawmakers whose campaigns are funded by the industries whose emissions are ruining the climate? Maybe both? But since we're so screwed anyway, why worry? Sure, we could shift away from our carbon heavy economy and towards a more sustainable model, but at what cost I ask you? Eating less meat? Riding our bikes sometimes? And what about America's fifty thousand coal miners? What are they supposed to do? Find new jobs? In this economy? Wait, is the economy great or not? I forgot where we landed on that...

Anyway, the White House isn't commenting on the report yet, but here's what the President had to say-well, tweet, last Wednesday, while California was still on fire:

Um, it's called climate change now, and it
just burned down eleven thousand homes.

Tragedy + Time = Offensive Memes

Speaking of big dumb idiots, the GOP party chair for Columbiana, Ohio remarked that-huh? Oh, in the last post. I called Trump a big dumb idiot. I know I'm not the first, it just bears repeating. Where was I? Right, Dave Johnson, Columbiana Republican country chair who posted this on his Facebook page yesterday:

I'm not sure what's more offensive: the
sentiment or the shitty layout and font choice.

The Internet: "preserving all the
stupid shit you say, since 1992."

Yup, a joke about California's deadliest wildfire in which at least seventy-nine people are dead, hundreds more are unaccounted for and eleven thousand homes have been destroyed. If you look closely at the upper left photo, you'll see people in cars fleeing the devastating fires, and in the lower center you'll see one of the many brave firefighters who are even now risking their lives to get the blazes under control. But hey, it's hilarious because California. Johnson deleted the post, but since this is the internet we all know about it.

"For the record, I have never met this 
man before and he does not represent me."

-God (I)

He defended himself to Cleveland.com, an Ohio news site, saying:

"Look, that's a meme. And it's how I feel about liberals, but did I mean that God is going to punish everyone who lives in California? No. It's a figure of speech, and I probably shouldn't have done it. But I did, and it doesn't change how I feel about what's happened in California."

-Dave Johnson, (R), 

self-appointed 

spokesman for God

A figure of speech about how funny he thinks it is that dozens have died and thousands more have had their lives ruined? That's how he feels about Californians? Doesn't that make him, and I don't want arm chair diagnose here, but doesn't that make him a sociopath?

You know what? I do want to arm-chair diagnose
him and yes, this totally makes him a sociopath.

Look, I'm not the arbiter of what is and
isn't funny, but generally speaking if  houses
are still on fire, it's too soon to make jokes.

"Now to the extent that that meme would have offended or hurt someone in California, yes, that's not the intent, and I don't think that's what it says. But you know, it's in the eyes of the beholder, and so if it offended anyone that had a loss of life, then I'm sorry. That was not my intent, and anybody who knows me knows better."

-Dave Johnson's conditional
apology to anyone too
sensitive to take a joke

If Dennis Miller has taught us anything it's
that conservatives are, by nature, unfunny.

Well cool, where to begin. So yes, it's absolutely the intent of that meme to offend and hurt, but it's also supposed to make conservatives feel like God is a Republican-which is gross and divisive not to mention bullshit. Like, no one ever suggests that a hurricane hitting the Carolinas is because God hates Republicans and, not for nothing, Butte County, where the largest of the current fires is, is a red county. So not only is Dave Johnson's stupid meme both offensive and wrong, it's also not funny.

And as for his suggestion that he can just say whatever hateful horseshit that comes to mind because people who really know him think he's swell, I think he's forgetting that he's some county party official from Ohio who would have remained safely anonymous had he not sent out his dumb meme. Instead he's now that asshole who joked about people killed by a natural disaster. So like, bravo Dave. You're famous.

"I didn't say I want liberals to die in a fire,
I just said that it'd be funny if they did."

-Noted sociopath, 
David Johnson

Finland does a lot of things better than us...

You wouldn't think this would qualify
someone to be President, but here we are.

You know, sometimes I think we're too hard on the President. It can't be easy to be an expert on everything, and yet here he is offering us the benefit of his hard-won wisdom. Wisdom earned through a lifetime of ripping off contractors, exploiting tax loopholes and hosting a gameshow about shaming people for having dreams, and all we can do is mock him. Shame on us. What am I talking about? Why the finger waggling? Why this, of course. Didn't click? That's fine. I know that you know that I'm just going to explain anyway.

The President, taking time off from his busy schedule of golf and stalking the halls of the White House raving about hoax-y the Mueller Investigation is, came out to tour the devastation caused by the wildfires in Northern California and to tell state officials that they're doing it wrong. It turns out we didn't rake enough. Yup, he stood among the smoking ruins of thousands of people's lives and livelihoods and talked about rakes.

Pictured: President Trump flanked by Governor-elect Newsom, and Governor
Brown from whose state Trump so recently threatened to withhold disaster funds,
offering advice on how to better manage California's forest with the power of raking.

Finland Fun Fact: The Finnish
national anthem is Yub Nub.

"You gotta take care of the floors. You know, the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it's a whole different story. I was with the President of Finland and he said we have a forest nation, he called it a forest nation and they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things and they don't have any problem. And when they do, it's a very small problem."

-President Trump, while Governor 

Brown rolled his eyes extravagantly

Above: Finnish students, note the lack
of crushing debt and hopelessness.

Wow, so much to unpack here. First of all, what a dumb idiot. I know that's not the most productive thing to say, but it's true. He's just putting words together. Secondly, how come he ran on a platform of taking away healthcare from Americans but suddenly he's a big fan of how other countries do things differently? Finland has universal healthcare and free education and so doesn't refuse treatment to patients, or force students to spend their entire working lives paying off student debts. But cool, let's talk about their advanced raking initiatives.

So yeah, President Trump talked to Finnish President Sauli Niinistö about forest monitoring (although Niinistö doesn't recall saying anything about rakes) and now he's a goddamn expert. From that one conversation. That didn't touch on raking. Super. Also, is Sauli Niinistö an expert on forestry? Nevermind...doesn't matter.

Pictured: President Trump absorbing President Niinisto's
forestry knowledge while the Finnish President contemplates
the nearest restroom where he can wash his hand. 

"We just hate jobs so much. Oh and
traditional values. They're the worst!"

-Nancy Pelosi, I guess

But raking aside, are there any other factors that might play into the state's marked increase in forest fires? Say...oh I don't know, climate change? When asked about whether or not holding a press conference in the still-burning proof of the reality of anthropogenic climate change changed his views about whether or not it's just come big hoax by Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats using some kind of weather control machine to take jobs away from hard working Pennsylvania coal miners-ok, I may be paraphrasing here, but he replied with:

He knows he's the one who  pulled us out
of the Paris Climate Agreement, right?

"No, no, I have a strong opinion. I want a great climate. We're going to have that, and we are going to have that are a very safe because we can't go through this. Every year we go through this. We're going to have safe forests and that's happening as we speak."

-President Trump, to the 

blank and confused 

stares of all assembled

So strong opinions are nice and all, but do you know what's also nice to have? Knowledge of the subject you're lecturing people on. Also, the ability to string sentences together into coherent thoughts would be appreciated. I don't think we're asking too much here.

"I...seriosuly? Still not convinced? But...but you're literally standing
in and breathing in the consequences of America's inaction on climate
cha-wait, would it help if I told you three KFC's burned down today?"

-Gavin Newsom, wasting his time

Of pedantry and helipads!

Amazon, seen here dividing, and spreading
like some kind of...of...what's the word?

Amazon announced this week that it'll be building its second headquarters in both New York and in Arlington Virginia, which, I mean, second headquarters? Not to get pedantic-wait, no-to get enthusiastically pedantic about this: can one have more than one headquarters? Like, by definition? And even if you can-you can't, but even if one can, can one then further sub-divide an already impossible second headquarters into two second headquarters? Doesn't one of them become a third headquarters? Or a .5? .33333?

I'm going to stop there before I venture any further down the path of hack 90's observational comic, but seriously. Second headquarters.

"And why do they call them headquarters? There's only
going to be three of them, shouldn't they be headthirds?"

-Some hack

"We've wasted our lives."

-Mathematicians

In further linguistic fuckery, Jeff Bezos originally announced that the new headquarters, called HQ2, would be a 'full equal' to the company's actually headquarters in Seattle so who the hell knows? The new headquarters are both one and many. Words and numbers meaningless. Well, some words and numbers. The HQ2 before it was split was going to create fifty thousand new jobs with salaries averaging $100,000, but now both cities should see twenty-five thousand new jobs, which not too bad right? Wrong. This is apparently really quite terrible.

Oh, don't look so glum.
You're still widely reviled. 

New Yorkers are quite upset about what quickly became a behind closed doors sweetheart deal and yesterday the city saw its first non-Trump related protest in recent memory. According to this, the subsidies and perks Arlington and New York gave Amazon for the privilege of hosting the company that is single handedly killing American retail, amount to $2.8 billion in tax breaks and straight up cash. Oh, and better still, the headquarters will actually cost the cities tens of thousands of dollars per job they create.

Not to mention the fact that renters in New York now have twenty-five thousand new six-figure earners to compete with in the housing market.

"Is that the phone number, or the rent? Hey-o!"

-That hack from earlier

"Take the subway? Like a poor?"

-Jeff Bezos, aghast

Anyway, said headquarters's...heads quarters? Like mothers in law? Doesn't matter. They're going to have helipads. Yeah. While they're still negotiating with Arlington, the New York office will have a helipad; something that's been illegal in New York since 9/11. They've agreed to limit themselves to just one hundred and twenty landings per year, but since this is one of three headquarters, I can't imagine that'll be too much of a hardship for them. In fact, nothing will be a hardship for them. They'll literally be above it all.

And look, obviously the outrage isn't about helipads-well, it's not just about helipads. It's about a company getting tax payer money and perks for doing their literal job, while schools and public services are going underfunded. And also, they're getting goddamn helipads.

I mean, can't Jeff Bezos just hang on to one of these
while he glides majestically over a sea of angry
New Yorkers his overpaid employees just displaced?

No, Rick Scott does not get a cookie.

Look, I don't want to tell Republicans how to spiral into white supremacist authoritarianism, but railing against people's votes being counted might not be the way to go.

"We're not saying people shouldn't be able to vote, we're just
saying that we shouldn't have to count votes that aren't for me."

-Florida Governor Rick Scott

"The face...he's right behind me, isn't he?
Man, totalitarian dystopia's...they just
sneak right up on you, don't they?"

You've got to be subtle, planting seeds over years and even decades, undermining the very fabric of democracy behind closed doors. Not Tweeting about how Democrats are trying to steal an election by insisting that all the votes are counted. People should look around one day and suddenly realize that they've been living in an Orwellian nightmare for years, but these amateurs are twirling their mustaches and demanding Republicans be installed without waiting around for the results.

Pictured: Rick Scott who earlier
 today bitterly acquiesced to pressure to
recuse himself. Because he's a quitter. 

And in Florida of all places! Look, I know it's our least competent state and might seem like the easiest place to steal an election, but the Governor, the actual Governor being in charge of the Senate race he's running in? Sure, he reluctantly announced today that he'd be recusing himself from the recount process, and in fact said that of course he was going to recuse himself, he always recuses himself, and that this totally isn't because of the public outcry and accusations of fraud. So what does he want, a cookie?

Same same the Governor's race in Georgia. Like, how does Brian Kemp sleep at night knowing that he's made a career out of robbing people of their right to vote?

"How do I sleep at night? Soundly, thanks to a neurological
condition that leaves me incapable of self-examination and without 
the capacity to feel shame for my actions. Ok, next question?"

-Kemp discussing his recent 
unrepentant dick diagnosis

"For thy many slights against me, I prithee
meet me upon the dueling grounds at
dawn where I shall bust a cap in thy ass."

On the one hand, you almost have to blame a system that allows someone to both run in and oversee an election at the same time, but on the other hand the be-powdered wig Founding Fathers probably assumed some level of decency on the part of people running for office. These were people who would challenge each other to duels to the death over rudeness, they couldn't possibly imagine a world where the President sits around with a cheese burger in one hand, iPhone in the other, tweeting insults at his political enemies.

"Well, yeah...is it working?"

-Mitch McConnell, Senator

and architect of our collapse

I'm willing to accept the possibility-like the mathematical possibility-that voters in Georgia and Florida may have actually elected Kemp and Scott respectively. I mean, people do make objectively terrible choices sometimes. Especially in the South. But unless we can count on these elections being above boards, we can't trust the legitimacy of the winners. Of any of the winners. Anywhere. Down ticket races affect national elections, so they're all suspect now. I guess what I want to know is what's the Republican party's plan here? Hope the rest of us don't catch on?

Look, we're not stupid. Willing to give the GOP the benefit of the doubt despite overwhelming evidence of institutionalized corruption, yes, but not stupid. Five or six more blatant, high profile power grabs like this and we're eventually going to get around to asking them to maybe stop doing that.

"Stop stealing elections? Sure, we'll get right on that..."

-Republicans

Tap the breaks...you know, the space brakes?

So look, I'm a big huge trekkie and all, and I oft bemoaned how we went like twelve years without some kind of Star Trek show, but maybe it's time to tap the breaks?

I said tap the breaks...

"It's Star Trek meets Riverdale and-huh?
Fired? I...No, that's probably he right call."

-Someone at CBS

Yeah, I know, but hear me out, because CBS is in talks about another Star Trek series. No, not the Discovery, or Short Treks, or the Picard show, and no, not the animated series-didn't we just do this? And no, this isn't even the still-in-the-works CW-ish Starfleet Academy starring a hot young cast going to space college where they'll learn about warp drive, temporal anomalies and...each other. Yes, this is a whole other spin-off centered around Michelle Yeoh's character. Before I go on, you should probably know that I'm about to spoil season one of Discovery, and it's kind of unavoidable given the premise of the Yeoh show. So if you want to bail out now because of that or maybe because I'm talking about Star Trek again, I'll understand. Still with me? Super.

Pictured: The Philippa Georgiou from
the alternate, tackier universe.

So if you watched Discovery you know that Michelle Yeoh's character, Captain Philippa Georgiou was killed off in like, episode two. It was a bummer, because she was great. But in further shit that only happens on Star Trek, Michelle Yeoh came back later in the season to play her evil duplicate from the mirror universe who ends up trapped in the prime universe by Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), where she's apparently recruited by Section 31 in some kind of Nick Fury at the end of every Marvel movie ever thing.

What's Section 31? I'm glad I pretended you asked. They're sort of the secret, unsanctioned covert ops for the Federation and probably the focus of this new spin-off. With prime universe Georgiou dead (and eaten by Klingons because I guess they eat people now) Secret Agent: Evil Georgiou seems like the most likely way to go forward.

"Starfleet Captain can sometimes come out a little dry and
and self-righteous, but I find that the secret is the marinade."

Oh don't look at me like
that, you know it's true.

Anyway, back to the break tapping. With so many goddamn Star Trek spin-offs presumably running at the same time, I'm getting a little nervous. Up until now, there's never been more than two Star Trek TV shows and one series of movies running at the same time. Sure, DC and Marvel have like fifty TV shows each based on their respective narrative universes but in addition to things like Supergirl and Jessica Jones, there're things like the show about Superman's Grandfather and the Alfred the Butler show. Everyone loves Alfred, sure, but did anyone want him to have his own show?

Look, I'm digging Discovery and would really hate to see it take a back seat and I am absolutely into a Star Trek espionage show starring Michelle Yeoh and obviously more Picard is in order, I just wonder at what point quality might begin to suffer, or and I never thought this would be a concern for me: will we burn out on too much Trek?

Never? Ok, clearly I'm asking the wrong
audience. But I think my point stands.

President Sassypants!

Vote Republican, or don't. We don't
care, we just won't count your vote.

He knows what racist means, right? I ask because-huh? Yes, I'm referring to the President who in a press conference today where he bragged about how awesome the GOP did yesterday which I suppose not getting completely swept out of office despite a decade of strategic gerrymandering, voter suppression and armed militias counts as a victory. Anyway, at the press conference, the President got into it with reporters who had the temerity to ask him questions and to challenge his objectively incorrect characterization of everything.

CNN's Jim Acosta asked Trump why he characterized the starving refugees as an invasion and after some heated back and forth about how Trump thinks Acosta should shut up, the President tried to move on, but Acosta pressed and asked about the Mueller investigation. Yeah, remember that?

Pictured: President Sassypants. 

Above: people whose votes count more
than yours. (source: gerrymandering) 

You may have noticed how we haven't heard much about Robert Muller's investigation into the Trump campaign's collusion-sorry, alleged collusion-sorry again, alleged but totally real collusion with Russian intelligence, it's apparently because the Justice Department has guidelines that require him to avoid doing anything that might sway election results. And while Mueller is a rules follower, I'm pretty sure Trump's fans would think any crimes he committed were awesome. But cool, I guess it's back on.

So Acosta's question was basically about how Trump feels about the possibility of going to prison. Which, you know, seems like valid question. So here's what the guy who lost the popular vote said:

He ws born without the part of the brain
that allows him to hear himself speak.
It's quite tragic, really. You know, for us. 

"I'm not worried about anything with the Russia investigation because it is a hoax. That's enough, put down the mic. I'll tell you what, CNN should be ashamed of itself having you work for them. You shouldn't be working for CNN. Go ahead. You're a very rude person. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible. And the way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldn't treat people that way."

-Noted rude person Donald Trump

Wai-wai-wait. To be clear: Donald 'Grab'em by the Pussy' Trump, author of hundreds of angry, incoherent tweets is lecturing the press about rudeness. Cool.

"I don't understand why everyone's so mean to me. Just day after day,
 they insist I answer their questions and then when I tell them transparent
lies they get upset and accuse me of lying. They're just...rude."

-Sarah Huckabee Sanders,

the real victim here

Pictured: That time Lincoln got up
and mocked those losers in the
South for having low ratings. 

Peter Alexander, a reporter from NBC, leapt to Acosta's defense to which the actual President, the guy who currently holds the office once held by Abraham Freaking Lincoln said: "Well, I'm not a big fan of yours either." Acosta then popped up again sans mic and tossed some more questions at Trump, I think hoping to get him to Hulk out on camera. It's hard to tell what Acosta said, but I could make out a reference to the MAGA bomber. Whatever it was, the President shot back with more of his horseshit about CNN being fake news and again called them the enemy of the people. 

What's that you say? Accusations of racism? Oh, right. President Trump accused an African American woman of racism today. PBS reporter Yamichi Alcindor asked if he thought that calling himself a nationalist might embolden white nationalists. The correct answer here of course is,"My God, you're right, I can't believe my foolish rhetoric has caused so much pain and violence. Please, let me take this opportunity to definitively denounce the white nationalist movement." 

Above: Proud Boys, the white nationalist group emboldened by Trump's
rhetoric seen here being exactly what Alcindor is goddamn talking about.

The President's answer of course, was not that. Instead it was:

One out of one Kanyes West
support the President.

(source: some poll)

"I don't know why you'd say that. That's such a racist question. I don't believe that. I don't know, why do I have my highest poll numbers ever with African Americans? Why do I have among the highest poll numbers with African Americans? I mean, why do I have my highest poll numbers? I mean, that's such a racist question. Honestly? I know you have it written and you're going to tell me. Let me tell you, that's a racist question."

-A racist dodging a question about his 

racism by accusing a reporter of racism

Holy shit, did the President just pull out the 'some of my best poll numbers are black' defense? He then went on to spout some nonsensical nonsense which I'm pretty sure is a defense of nationalism as a thing:

"I'm pro-world. Big fan. I love the world."

-Trump

"You know what the word is? I love our country. I do. You call, you have nationalists? You have globalists. I also love the world. And I don't mind helping the world, but we have to straighten out our country first. We've got a lot of problems. Excuse me! But to say that is so insulting to me, it's a very terrible thing that you said."

-Nonsense, like

just gibberish

And that was the day after the midterms: valid questions about the President's behavior and direction for the country from the press and vitriolic, insane-sounding, nationalistic ramblings from the guy in charge of America's nuclear arsenal. Here's hoping we all make it to the next election. 

In case you were wondering what it looks like when a
rich white man lectures a black woman on racism.
