A Dark Day In America

From Jeff Tiedrich:

There is no reason for anyone to torment themselves today by doom-scrolling—and there is not one goddamned reason on Earth to give this asshole one second of your attention.

Instead, be like AOC.

“All these journalists are like, ‘Congresswoman, are you going to the inauguration? Are you going to the inauguration?’ — Let me make myself clear. I don’t celebrate rapists. so no, I’m not going to the inauguration.”

There are so many better ways we can be spending our time.

Today is Martin Luther King Day. Let’s honor his memory, and let’s dishonor a certain spiteful man-baby.

Here’s a quote from Dr. King that’s never been more relevant than it is right now.

“We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity.”

hHw prescient was that?

America is about to go through some things. Yhis hurts a lot. I know. Remember, we’re all in this together. let’s be here for each other.

Today, we rest. Tomorrow, we put our shoulder to the wheel, and deal with the shitfuckery ahead of us.

Let me leave you with one piece of very good news. This morning, during his final hours in office, President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to General Milley, Dr. Fauci, and the January 6 Committee members.

“These are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” Biden wrote in a statement. “Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety and financial security of targeted individuals and their families.”

Thank you, Joe. We’re going to miss you.

DO SOMETHING

And it is doubly insulting to Michelle Obama that the same MAGA folks who were okay with Trump and Melania refusing to attend Biden’s inauguration are the ones who are outraged at Michelle’s decision.

Let’s not forget, Trump attempted a coup, and in any other developed democratic republic would not have been allowed to run for office again–and most likely would be doing jail time or be in exile.

Given that–ALL of the former presidents and first ladies should have refused to attend the traitor Trump’s inauguration in protest.

Michelle is the only one who was strong enough to do the right thing.
