The limited liability caucasian.

A legion of incorporated dudebros has been working overtime to defend monopolies and uber-rich tax cheats. When the pandemic began there was 1 person worth $100 billion. Now there are 9.When the pandemic began the 10 richest people had $695 billion. Now they have $1.36 trillion.And they paid a lower tax rate than service workers […]

Swiftboating, seventeen years later.

Years before the Big Lie, MAGA, and Donald Trump, the GOP had a different masculinity crisis on its hands. Swiftboat: to discredit a political opponent by making exaggerated or outrightly false claims about his/her character and past actions. (Urban Dictionary) Iraq. History will shame the United States of America and the conservative movement for Operation […]

Man! Schrodinger’s Douchebags absolutely HATE cancel culture.

In this age of rampant income inequality, it’s getting tougher and tougher for bros to prance around like overentitled dicks. “My point is, people weren’t all that funny when they could say whatever they wanted to say. At the end of the day, there’s no cancel culture.”– Katt Williams I love Katt Williams. His recent […]

Operation White Privilege, part whatever.

Why do billionaire-humping supremacists keep proving me right? A continuation of Part I, II, III. Did you see the latest news about MAGA’s racist tantrum? It seems that the circus seals had a plan: 1) March on the Capitol.2) Get Antifa and BLM to respond.3) Let Trump sic the police on them. In other words… […]

Operation White Privilege ended in the most privileged of ways.

A minority of Senators filibustered the Capitol Riot investigation. Yes, indeed: it’s good to have white skin. Riffing off of Operation White Privilege: 1/6/21. and Operation White Privilege: fifty-nine days later. After the Capitol riot on January 6th, 2021, I nicknamed it “Operation White Privilege.” Why? Because the moniker seemed to fit. This group had […]

The Powell Memo and I: we’re both turning fifty this August.

“In 1971, only 175 firms had registered lobbyists in Washington, but by 1982, nearly 2,500 did.”– The Powell Memo: A Call-To-Arms for Corporations, Moyers and Company I was born on August 11th, 1971. On August 23rd, 1971, future Supreme Court Associate Justice Lewis Powell got commissioned to draft an all-encompassing manifesto that would serve as […]

Uh-oh…sounds like somebody’s got a case of the nazis.

Liz Cheney just got booted out of the GOP leadership because she denounced Operation White Privilege. Nazis…I hate these guys.– Indiana Jones Not gonna be a long post. I just wanted to put something up on the day that the Republican Party took another big step towards fascism. I get it: the modern GOP’s bullshit, […]

Zeus: God of the U.S.A.

2028 Movie Reviews, #16 My previous 2028 movie reviews can be found here. These days, Zeus’ authoritative visage graces every government building in America. Monuments to Zeus’ greatness have been erected all across the land. Zeus’ chiseled and vaguely-Donald-Trumpian face adorns the US twenty-dollar bill. A special-effects-and-boobs-packed, religious blockbuster about Zeus had to happen sooner […]

Allow me this moment of tinfoil-hattedness, part 2.

The way things are heading, where will this country be in ten years? Part 1.Also riffing off of earlier posts:• John Wayne: hi from Earth.• Socialism-for-the-rich is not capitalism.• The Petting Zoo Bourgeoisie went to the polls.• The 1% pay enough in taxes to start wars, but not enough to finish them.
