Is there a song called short man that triggers Trumpanzees or something that they all start running to him?

Considering the "quality" [lack thereof] of judges Trump appointed and the beta incel behavior they seem to condone...well yeah.

Cop forcing a girl to strip and play with themselves while they masturbate? Qualified immunity--doesnt "shock the conscience" [for those who have none].


We're gonna be dealing with these circuit judges and SCOTUS for a loooong time.

In the midwest the redneck buys a Ford F-250 when physically lacking in "other" areas. And those Ford pickups are EVERYWHERE. ;)

If the 5th circuit thinks a cop did something wrong that is some really horrific behavior.

They only buy a Ford F250 if they can't afford a F350. The company truck I drive is a F250 long box 4 door 4x4. The graders I operate turn sharper and feel sportier than that truck. I drove a tractor into town yesterday rather than drive that truck in town during tourist season. I can't begin to understand how horrible it'd be with oversized tires and a lift kit. Thankfully I don't pay for fuel either. The only positive is if a road is washed out or buried in a landslide I could physically block the road with it.

I drove a rental Dodge 30-series cargo van for a few days recently and not only did it handle like a freaking tank, it required a damn kidney-belt on bumpy roads.

And every decked out Chevy Tahoe or Ford Excursion I've ever driven has been a clumsy, lumbering, gas-guzzling klutz of a vehicle. (running limo-companies I've drive many of them!)

If you think the ride and handling of a big, heavy SUV, van or especially a pickup truck is "acceptable" for passenger-use then all I can say is you have some LOW performance standards.

While this is interesting, it's not very useful in a practical sense, since you probably don't know which guys you know are running lots of google searches for "penis enlargement."

It's time to start understanding the personality traits of actual or potential fascists, traits which can be identified in people you know. I highly recommend this:

How to Spot a (Potential) Fasc!st - YouTube

The second half of the video is particularly useful. Researchers in the 50's and 60's seem to have gotten a good fix on the common personality traits of potential fascists.

The Authoritarian Personality 1. Conventionalism 17:49 2. Authoritarian Submission 18:09 3. Authoritarian Aggression 18:44 4. Anti-intraception 19:12 5. Stereotypy 19:39 6. Power and Toughness 20:14 7. Destructiveness and Cynicism 21:07 8. Projectivity 21:32 9. 'Sex' 22:14

Hmmmm....Well, if was to describe as succinctly as possible this bromance between Trump and his male admirers it'd go something like what somebody else (here?) mentioned as "all mouth farts, combovers and dicksickles".

I've posted this before on multiple occasions throughout the years. It's as relevant as it ever has been. There's a reason why I specifically use the phrase right-wing authoritarian.

The Authoritarians by Bob Altemeyer


You can read it online or download the .pdf

It's an easy read and entertaining given the subject matter.

John Dean wrote a prescient book called Authoritarian Nightmare.

Also Conservatives Without Conscience.

If you read the foreword of The Authoritarians, you'll see how the author was a friend and colleague of John Dean.
