Happy Friday the 13th
Leading into tomorrow’s Dictator Parade in DC, Trump’s disapproval rating is 54%, and his approval is 38%. This is historically bad for any president at this stage. TACO Trump bailed on the tariffs, and yesterday he acknowledged that his ICE raids will screw up farmers and hotel owners. The guy is a mess!
Can the United States handle a few more years with him at the wheel? I sure hope so, but the public needs to clearly understand what we’re dealing with:
- American elections are rigged
- the Supreme Court has become a rotten institution
- the Democrats are controlled opposition
First of all, American Elections are rigged. Greg Palast has documented this since the 2000 election after he wrote The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. HBO produced Hacking Democracy which spoke about the psychosis of the 2004 election. Katie Couric created I Voted? We can include Mike Pillow’s Absolute Proof and Salem Media’s 2000 Mules, even though the creators of 2000 Mules issued a public apology. Bottom line is that no one trusts American elections. Toasters have more federal regulations than voting machines. Isn’t that stupid? Years ago, Athan Gibbs created an electronic voting machine called TruVote which had a verifiable paper trail. He was killed in an untimely car accident the week he was to make a presentation about it. Trump still claims he won the 2020 election, and he started whining early in the day this past 2024 election when Pennsylvania numbers weren’t to his liking. Thom Hartmann, Greg Palast, and the Election Truth Alliance agree with Trump that the elections are fishy, but they’re conclusions are in the opposite direction. Man-baby Trump cried that the 2020 was rigged AGAINST him. With all of the voter purging, the past two elections were actually rigged FOR him. And Trump stupidly started bragging at a Pennsylvania rally that his new pal, Elon Musk, “Knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers.” It turns out the Election Truth Alliance has uncovered data in the seven swing states which radically defy statistical probability. Trump DID NOT win the 2024 election!
This brings us to our second point. Who’s going to do anything about it? Are you familiar with quid pro quo? I’ll scratch your back, you scratch mine? The Speaker of the House was hand picked by Trump. Three members of the Supreme Court were appointed by him creating a six-judge conservative majority. We all know Trump is a convicted felon, and he was on his way to losing more criminal cases, but the justices started sucking on his tiny catheter mushroom, and pussyfooted with the trial dates. Shame on you, bitches! You ruined America! If Trump was innocent of his accusations, he would’ve won his trials, but nobody believed he was innocent. Even the people who voted for him thought he was guilty, but their hatred of Democrats was a greater factor at the polling booths.
Now, on to the final issue. The Dodgers won the World Series this past year. They had won in the Covid year, but this was their first “real” championship since 1988. Nonetheless, teams around the League are crying bloody murder, especially the owner of the Colorado Rockies. There is no salary cap in baseball. Big city teams, like the Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets, can spend way, way, way more than everyone else. Let’s take this a little further. Imagine a future world in which the Dodgers could pay to lobby MLB rules even more. Imagine the owners of Dodgers and Yankees can own multiple major league teams. Imagine, eventually, the Dodgers own every National League team, and the Yankees own every American League team. When a star player gets injured, they simply trade for a kick ass player from a small market team.
This is American politics today. All the power has been scooted to two different teams, but I’d like to go a step even further than this. What if the Dodgers eventually bought the Yankees? In this dystopian nightmare where we only have Dodgers vs Yankees in the World Series, at least it might be a coin flip about who would win! But in a world where the Dodgers own the rest of the League, how could anybody watch?
Big Money pays for advertisements on propagandist Fox News. They literally pay for lavish vacations for Supreme Court justices. Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the Trump campaign, and after their recent spat, he bragged that Trump would not have been elected without him. Recently, Orange Clown picked a fight with California. Gavin Newsome fought back. It was strong, and it was genuine. Las Vegas creates millionaires from patrons playing slot machines. But let’s face it. The numbers are stacked against you. The House will always win more than it loses. If the Dodgers bought Major League Baseball, they would win the World Series for the next few hundred years (until the asteroid Apophis eventually hits Earth, if it misses in 2029 or 2036). Big Money has turned the Democrats into controlled opposition. This is why Al Gore didn’t fight as hard as Donald Trump, even though Al Gore won the 2000 election. This is why John Kerry folded quickly in 2004. This is why, today, there isn’t anyone clearly on the horizon who could buck this significant trend. Controlled opposition. Remember that.
I posted few songs to a new music page yesterday. It was good to post anything at all again. Last year, I supported RFK Jr for president. I’m always a third-party type of person. I thought he might remain an Independent. I’m not sure what to make of him, now. I love his story about dumping a dead bear in Central Park. Big Money is like a black hole, and it will always suck you in. I hope the United States lasts until 2028. Idiot Trump made a speech in front of Libertarians last year. They booed him. Trump wanted to be their nominee, of all things. He said something dumb like, “Go ahead and keep losing elections then!” Stupid! That’s how far out of touch he is. Some people involve themselves in politics for principles. Libertarians value liberty, for example, and you would lose that in order to become a brown-nosing yes man. Today, not everyone wears a Dodgers or Yankees baseball cap. I hope there are still fans in Denver wearing Rockies caps. I hope the same for fans in Milwaukee, Tampa Bay, and Pittsburgh. I hope they haven’t given up on their local teams. The 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates actually had cool, flat striped baseball caps. They won the World Series that year. Anyone remember Kent Tekulve, Willie Stargell, Ed Ott, Dave Parker, Omar Moreno, Phil Garner and the rest of the gang?
Tomorrow is America’s first Dictator Parade. There are about 1800 other events planned outside of Washington, DC. For those not paying attention to tanks cruising the streets of the nation’s capital, it will be No Kings Day. I look forward to watching a few YouTube videos to see how the celebrations go …
