Cerebro's Dreams

Reading about the first ever human case of Shamonda virus, but my brain is going...

What a lot of folks are failing to understand is that Trump, while historically embarassing, is not the CAUSE of our problems. Our hollowed-out rotting system that produced, enabled, and shielded him is. It is capitalism imploding.

Remember the line in No Country For Old Men when Anton Chigurh asks Carson Wells "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?" Consider that for a moment. Then I ask you... If capitalism brought us to this, of what use was capitalism?

At the behest of Vladimir Putin, Trump is hammering Ukraine now because if the Democrats win in a few weeks his ability to do so will be severely hampered.

I served as a diplomat with a specialty in Sino-US relations, and tutored 1st year law students. In Trump's America, this makes me an attorney. It also makes me much, much more than qualified to serve as White House Press Secretary. Only the best people! Remember?

There is some seriously weird shit going on when a White House Press Secretary is called an attorney, but when questioned says her law training is somehow tied to when she "moved to China". This is some total bullshit folks. I'm a former diplomat with a specialty in Sino-US relations. I would know.

Trump will go on being hated and reviled by most of us for decades to come. Maybe a century. He is a modern reminder of why some ancient statues have their faces smashed off. Yet it is very important that we hold the entire Republican Party to blame for this. Not just one man.

Republicans should be pushed out of public life forever. They should not be able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant, or a theater play, or a sports game, or any kind of public gathering. Make their lives miserable, and communicate to them in no uncertain terms that they are NOT welcome ANYWHERE.

Trump is doing to Ukriane what he did to underage girls on Epstein's island.

Lessons of life 1. It goes much faster than you think 2. People are more ignorant and short-sighted than you think 3. Big money breeds psychopathy 4. Kindness and love are stronger than hate in the long run 5. Know that all things are interconnected 6. Keep an open mind 7. Have fun

Theyve opened the door to public executions. They also opened the door to criminally prosecuting political enemies. And to secret police disappearing people from our streets. You must understand that this CANNOT be defeated by a vote. Thats not how Fascism works. Vote. But that aint the end.

I fucking told everyone nearly a month ago

There is no such thing as "too big to rig". That's the whole fucking point of rigging something.

America is coming face to face with the reality that it is not exceptional, and is not immune to those afflictions of humankind which have for millennia ground so many other empires to ruin. "Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Americans have mistaken know-nothing for intelligence Cruelty for self-interest Ineptitude for strategy Enemies for allies Lawlessness for laws And loss for gain America is paying the price for these wrong decisions, a price that will go on being paid for at least a generation. Maybe more.

Fascism is a self-defeating practice. It eventually cannibalizes itself. And falls apart on its hollowed-out hinges. But unless it is confronted forcefully and unwaveringly, that collapse entails massive human suffering and atrocities before it comes to pass.

Wherever you are. Whatever your circumstance. Be thankful. And express love while you still can.

I am firmly against the death penalty, for reasons I have stated previously. But I believe the Cornell 7 should be given sentences of LIFE IN PRISON for what they did. How's THAT for "ruining their futures" ?

Our media is so fucked up and corrupted that it can't even call a god damn pedophile a god damn pedophile. Stop watching media. Call a spade a spade. And call a motherfucking pedophile a motherfucking pedophile.

Not one single person from Epstein Island (aside from Maxwell, who is being treated with white gloves) will ever see prison. Once you free yourself by understanding this reality, then you can start understanding what LEAD to this being possible, and then we can STOP IT from happening again.

I hope you understand that all those Republicans who said they spoke to Mitch McConnell for "about 20 minutes" were flat out lying. You do understand that, right? Mitch cant walk and is in an unresponsive catatonic state. And that's AFTER he took nearly 4 months to recover.

Noel Casler recently wrote that these might eventually be called "The Wasted Years". Sadly, I think that is likely. This country will someday return to a semblance of "normalcy". But the damage done at the price of bottomless corruption and sheer ineptitude will last for the rest of our lifetimes.

This. 100% this.

As the economy implodes, we now have nearly 10 million Americans in default to repay their student loans. What do you think thats going to do to the economy? And do you think 10 million is the end of the road? Or is it the first foot down the path?

Me too

Why don't Republicans simply use a sharpie to draw a stick figure of Jack Smith at a Hawks game?

It is important to understand that the death penalty is inherently unjust. Why? Because practicing the death penalty necessarily entails killing some innocent people for crimes they did not do. And no society can call itself a just society if it kills innocent people for crimes they did not do.

It is my sincere hope that the surviving families of ICE victims are eventually able to sue the everloving shit out of the US government, and that the US government is forced to issue a formal apology to all the families and to the world at large.

Donald Trump is an idiot's idea of a smart person, a moron's idea of a rich person, a buffoon's idea of a strategic thinker, and a dumbfuck's idea of good president. All of you know someone who voted for him. All of them are stupid idiot moron dumbfuck buffoons.

Lindsey Graham voted To kill the Affordable Care Act To kill Planned Parenthood To axe protections for LGBTQ+ To confirm all of Trump's SCOTUS picks To acquit Trump of both impeachments For every US war of the past 30 years Jack Smith called this person "a patriotic public servant"

Jack Smith shit the bed when he called Lindsey Graham "a patriotic public servant". Lindsey was a lifelong swindling, lying, doublecrossing, hateful, evil, coniving, corrupt man. You need to see this with open eyes. As good as Smith is, he is still a Republican.

Living in a society where Cornell situations happen with frequency is awful. There was a time in my life when I worked to change it. I spent 20+ years in public service. But this society has proven exactly what it is. It is not free or brave or good. It is Cornell. All the way up to the president.

Just a quick note If the price of diesel fuel goes to $8 or more, that is when it will begin paralyzing normal life in this country. At that price, it stops being merely just "expensive", and it starts collapsing logistics chains. And if that isnt addressed, a depression is very likely to follow.

It will very likely be studied in the future, if it is not already studied now, whether Donald Trump was born an evil, incompetent, fuckwit, narcissist, or if he was made that way. Nature vs Nurture If he was made that way, perhaps we should consider outlawing the things that contributed to that.

What happens to a collapsing society when at the same time its government is wildly unpopular? Most typically, a revolution.

Why are people STILL clinging to "he cant do that because its against the law!"... How many times does it have to be proven, over and over again, that "the law" doesnt matter?

The guts of America are prepped for a revolution. It is stirring. You can feel it. The missing major ingredient is people figuring out that this cannot be done comfortably. Thete is no "move on" There is no "bipartisan" It must be total scorched earth. Or it will fail.

They wheeled an oblivious half-corpse McConnell into the Senate and literally had to vote for him because he's too far gone to understand what is happening around him. Theyll do the exact same with Donald motherfucking Trump. Theyre going to juice that god damn moron till the day hes in the dirt.

I don't trust the Democratic Party to nominate someone with the motherfucking balls to do it, but the next Dem president should move immediately to wreck the shit out of Fox News. Destroy that god damn poison once and for fucking all. Scorched earth, total wrath, no compromise, no mercy.

In case you did not already know, a US president who willy nilly muses about "blowing up" an entire country of 90 million people by definition joins the ranks of the worst mass murderers in human history. Donald Trump is literally one of the worst human beings to have ever existed.

The WHY has been driven out of education in the United States. Instead of understanding, we reward regurgitation of information. But it isn't a question of WHAT we know. It's WHY we know what we know. That lack of WHY in people's understandings has opened the door for propaganda. And here we are.

Last night some drunk idiot tried to have a conversation with me and in the process of doing so tried to bring up the Dunning-Kruger effect, but absolutely got its entire premise ass-backwards and confused. It was a hideously insightful moment for me.

The people of the United States are going to have to come to terms with the reality of the federal government not honoring the results of elections. Because that is coming. We all saw Jan 6, and you stupidass dumb motherfuckers put him in office again anyway. So get ready to deal with that again.

I'm a former US diplomat with a specialty in Sino-US relations. China is making its move to surpass the US. Much of what is happening is by their intentional design. They aim to crash the world and emerge as the sole alternative to US failure. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
