Even Rollingstone — headline refers to a straight arm salute, and the text to a Roman salute.
And the ADL is trying to pretend that what we can all see (twice) wasn’t what we saw, too.
Cowards and collaborators, all of them.

And saved Canada from a reactor meltdown, just 2 hours NW of Ottawa.
Literally the moral antithesis of 45.
It’s still reasonable to do so — not because the world doesn’t need to be aware of and alert to sprinting fascism (there’s no “creeping” now). But because it allows people to decide to read — or read later. Or not.
Like picking up a paper, and choosing not to read an article you know will upset you and it’s not the time. Or because your mental health really needs the space.
Not fussing. I’m just aware the alternative some will choose is blocking you. Which defeats your purpose.

No one.
I’m all but certain he’s the most decent person to ever occupy the office.
Not the luckiest (in office), unfortunately.
One can but hope that they all lose lots and lots of sleep over it. Or that they stroke out. I’m not proud of it, but I am ok with either outcome.
Me too. The internet (written communications, really) makes it so hard.
And especially in a time when officials suggest things that are so bonkers that one would like to think they were sarcasm.
Merch for 34 will be.
(Or… maybe not — let the suckers pay for it there too? That would be droll.)
Yeah.
And a majority of white voters voted for Trump directly. Handing our nation to him.
(I’m not excusing voting for Stein. Stupid to do so. But more explicable than the above.)
This (in a different version) has been on my mind on and off all day. And then I heard my spouse playing a version of it in the other room…

Traditional responses to Nazis seem appropriate.
The folks who — when class was being handed out — decided to cut it.
The moment when suckers begin to wake up to the con. Or at least that they’re being conned.
So for what it’s worth, it appears that it will be a shortage of espresso (whole beans, to be ground) that will drive us out to shop post-Xmas.
