Convicted Felon Tries to Upstage Pope's Funeral

Yes, Felonious Trump was there yesterday on the front row with a bright blue suit, orange face, and his signature yellow ferret hat. Bored beyond measure, he kept busy on his phone checking his crypto, chewing gum, and snoozing with his foul mouth gaping.


Never one to waste an opportunity to draw more attention to himself, Trump had another plan to become the star of this show.  Felonious could use this worldwide audience to convey the illusion that he gives a whit about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was applauded by the massive crowd when he arrived at the funeral. Guess who wasn’t applauded!

Why not have some chairs pulled into an open and public area and quickly arrange an impromptu tete-a-tete with the new real leader of the free world. Then Felonious could tweet out the results and pretend that he had actually learned something from Zelensky.  Genius, right?


As soon as the service concluded, Trump had his party whisked back to the airport. He had better things to do, more important things, more carefully-designed anguish to impose upon the immigrants of the world for whom Pope Francis had devoted so much energy during his long life.

White Man's World - Jason Isbell


Yes, there are some (not many) white male Southern artists who resent the white male repressive monoculture that has and would continue if allowed to exclude any group or individual that is not white, male, Xtn.

Harvard’s "Resounding Rebuke" of Trump’s Extortion Efforts Represents a Turning Point

Harvard University’s most recent decision to stand up against Trump’s criminal bullying serves as a crucial turning point in the fight against American fascism in this decade.  

By upholding the institutional integrity of America’s oldest and most prestigious center of learning, Harvard stands as a fortress of intellectual and moral freedom against the dark forces of hate, ignorance, and criminality that provide the rotted foundation of  MAGA’s home office in Washington.

As you join the growing resistance this coming Saturday in the ongoing war to save democracy in the United States, 

Be Harvard, not Columbia!
