Right?! Where’s the @ toward Trump for hiring a gremlin invested in UPS to raze one of our last few true public goods into the dirt?

I think you’re right about that.  Violence on election day seems inevitable at this point. Shit is well and truly fucked.

Dang, I really thought that was a Mark Ryden for a second. It’s a very similar style... and name. Freaky. I now have a new conspiracy theory that Mark Bryan is secretly the nom de plume Ryden does less subtle political stuff under.

Careful with titles like that in the middle of the night! I thought he had nuked California or some slightly more plausible crazy shit that isn’t just impotent manifestations of his narcissism.

It’s B-A-N-A-N-A-S, especially since this will definitely hurt Trump’s supporters the most. And when my small, rural post office closes and/or shipping rates get quadrupled, I’m certain there won’t be one less Trump sign or flag flying around here. If Trump going full Jim Jones, telling his followers to go maskless to…

The Trump regime might be a gross failure in government, but it makes an excellent piece of dadaist performance art.

Yeah, if their plan is to distance themselves from Trump after acquitting him in the Senate and going full class-war on middle and lower class Americans, at the height of a pandemic, that’s threatening to cause a full-on Great Depression sequel, well, best of luck.

One of her professors from Georgetown paints an interesting portrait of McNinny as a dominionist Christian with a martyrdom complex. I’m not sure if it was Mark or John who had Jesus saying, “He who lies for the rapist and bigot in power shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.” But I’m sure it’s in there, somewhere.…

I get medicine through the mail. I’m lucky enough that I can cope with the delays (I’m so sorry for the people who can’t), but I’m terrified they’ll follow through on the other suggestions that have been floated by the regime to “fix” USPS. If they quadruple rates or close my rural post office, I really don’t know…

Dan Patrick offering up grandma to the invisible hand is another illustrative moment that will stick with me.

Apparently, the Obamas acquired the rights to his book and are adapting it as part of their Netflix deal.

I get why he doesn’t. We’ve got a violent, reactionary movement in this country that exploded when he became president. The last thing Obama wants to do is stoke the chaos by exerting too much of his influence and feeding into their worst fears. We need to break the fever before we can safely have Obama as a Jimmy…

You said it. I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. Throughout this whole ordeal, I’ve been watching my friend’s dad, who I’ve always been fond of, slowly get radicalized and it’s absolutely horrifying. It started out with him believing eccentric, but mostly harmless stuff, like chemtrail conspiracy theories, but since…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the description of Kushner’s team as, “like a frat party descended from a UFO and invaded the federal government,” will surely prove to be one of the most apt and enduring descriptions of this moment.

It’s astounding watching my neighbors vote year after year for the ghouls killing my small, rural, very Republican town. But, apparently, my tears are more satisfying than having a post office that can promptly and affordably deliver checks, bills, medicine, packages, whatever you need.

Yeah, this is the most obvious BS. Mail-in voting creates an auditable paper trail and you’d have to have an army of agents on American soil forging ballots to affect the outcome. It would be noticed immediately.

Yeah, down here in CT, this is our first attempt doing mail-in voting at such a scale. I’m glad our secretary of state cowboy’d up and sent every eligible voter a request form, but there’s a lot of room for fucking this up, least of all the ratfucking occurring at USPS. (The election aside, I’m terrified of how that…

They attack voting because of a burden of nescience that exists in authoritarian structures, like the Republican Party. They have to make sure the things they communicate are aligned with the defined reality of those above them in the hierarchy. Their job security depends on it. Often, what is objectively repressed…

This. There’s more than one way to undermine an election.  The whole ploy is designed to provoke violent confrontations which will then be used to justify harsher crackdowns and dispensing with civil liberties. And we’ve got saboteurs infiltrating the protests actively trying to facilitate the process.

It’s cosmic irony, if you’re looking to pass a lit test. Now, if somebody like Bill Barr were to suffer a similar fate, the technical term for that would be extreme good fortune.
