The future sure ain't what it used to be

Tomorrow the latest nationwide No Kings protest is scheduled to take place and I plan to participate. Just by showing up, not by doing anything elaborate. I'll put in some time at the smaller neighborhood protest near my place rather than go down to the waterfront/Seattle Center for the big crowd. I have faith in my fellow Seattleites that we'll have impressive turnout at the various marches/protests around the area.

I mean, we have to, right? It feels like there's so little we can do in the face of this tyrannical, lawless wannabe despot's continuing reign of terror that taking to the streets and holding signs and displaying some honest-to-goodness patriotism will at least feel somewhat cathartic.

The tyrant-in-chief today showed yet again that he is the pro-crime president, commuting the sentence of his fellow serial liar and fraudster George Santos because, I kid you not, he voted Republican. That's why, he said so on his stupid social media platform:

If you're a kindred spirit sort of criminal, in Mango Mussolini's world the law doesn't apply to you. Laws are for other people. Hell, for other people why even bother with laws? Just round ’em up and disappear them.

Of course, letting fraudsters get away with crime is only a secondary purpose here, the primary function of this is to, of course, give us something to talk about that isn't related to the Epstein files and the fact that the entire Republican party, with very few exceptions, doesn't want the public to know that their "dear leader" is a vile, sleazy raper of children just like his dead bestie was. Anyone who's been paying attention would already believe this to be true regardless, but suppressing evidence is Speaker Mike Johnson's first commandment. "Thou shalt not allow the truth about how disgusting and predatory POTUS47 is to see the light of day." It's right above "thou shalt not provide health care to the sick and injured" and "thou shalt bear false witness to everything at every opportunity."

I hope you all will also put in an appearance at a No Kings event near you. For inspiration, I give you Michael McDermott's new song "The Future." Enjoy and maybe play it at your event. For this I'd even say turn the volume up to 11.
