The comments on the article, from LOCALS were full of inbred church goers cheering and 'that's what I voted for!' What response is this supposed to elicit other than hate and disgust? They are offended when people tell them that cheering for the, again illegal, division of families, the intentional lack of due process, makes them despicable, and lines them up perfectly with the behavior of actual nazis in germany in the early 20th century.Today instead of hate-posting to every trump worshipper I can find, I'm trying to find more resources about post-war Germany and the fate of any German citizen with a conscience or moral fiber. Not finding a lot.https://hubski.com/pub/471876https://hubski.com/pub/471876https://hubski.com/pub/471875https://hubski.com/pub/471875Posted from the hairdressers, which is my regular 30 minute talk to a strangerhttps://hubski.com/pub/471873https://hubski.com/pub/471873The letter quoted above was, allegedly, a gift from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. Given the circumstances, one can only conclude that the veiled references in the letter are to the obvious thing: sex with underage girls. Rape. Pedophilia.The President of the United States is a pedophile.It is common, or at least it used to be, to portray Trump as a unique irruption into the American political scene: uniquely crass, uniquely rapey, uniquely popular. In that frame of mind, one might dismiss Trump's association with Epstein as yet another uniquely Trumpian deformity.What if it isn't? What if the connection between reactionary MAGA politics and the sexual abuse of children is deeper than we want to admit?The name for this idea is pedocon theory.These ideas were so fringe 10 years ago that you would be looked at as a deviant yourself for even bothering to track how many republicans are caught committing child sexual assasult and grooming behaviors to lead to the same. I am looked at funny by conservatives and progressives alike for pointing out that challenges to age of consent and related topics ALWAYS come from the right, ALWAYS on the basis of religious exemptions to the law/freedom of religion, ALWAYS to promote the marriage of adult men to teen or pre-teen women they rape. This is biblical, according to them.I don't know what it says about the state of 'discourse' that its a basically open and shut case that the president raped kids as part of an Israeli kompromat farm, and has now used the machinery of the federal government to not only cover it up, but provide the legal basis to make this all 'normal' in the future, forever. And I'm the weird one somehow. In that sense, the pedocons have already won. This is already normalized and tolerated past the point of sanity. The erosion isn't happening, it happened already.https://hubski.com/pub/471863https://hubski.com/pub/471863https://hubski.com/pub/471860https://hubski.com/pub/471860I was homeschooled very briefly for the beginning of first grade for explicitly political reasons and the fantasy of every young republican mother to raise her own Von Trapp family. Then when I was asked who I wanted to invite to my birthday party I started naming characters from books. I was hurriedly re-enrolled in public school.The experiences of this person do not shock or even appall me anymore, they just make me sad and angry.These people believe they are being good parents. What does it matter you can prove to them they are raising hatemongers and white nationalists? That they are seeking out sources of 'information' that outright deny provable physical reality? Their family and church tells them this is the right thing to do. Home schooling is neglect at best outside of incredibly fringe circumstances.I’m still in South Carolina. A couple comes to the booth. They were here yesterday, and I talked to the wife. Yesterday, her husband stayed silent. Today he sees B and gets excited.“Here’s a guy,” he says. “He is ready to answer all of my questions.”I side-eye B while welcoming the couple back. I talk to the wife, and they wander over to look at our product.A few minutes later, the husband walks over to B.“My wife doesn’t know the story of Rosie the Riveter,” he says. “I’m gonna tell her, but I need you to fact-check me.”B glances my way.“Actually, Heather is the one who wrote the biographies.”“Yeah, I know, but check me,” he tells B.No one else is in the booth, so the husband stands in the middle. Center stage. He spreads his legs wide, slightly bending his knees, and his wife preps for the show.“OK, he and I...” he begins. With both arms, he dramatically gestures to B and himself, a platoon of two. “We are off fighting the war. You and her —” he indicates us girls — “stay home and support us by making airplanes. We —” another swing of the arms to indicate the platoon — “use the airplanes to win the war and come home.”He looks triumphantly at B. “Is that right?”I am baffled by this 10-second World War II reenactment. An awkward giggle escapes me. B looks at me and I shrug my shoulders. B’s on his own with this guy.He clears his throat and says, “Well, there’s more to it than that, but yeah, I guess.”The couple buy the curriculum and tell us they are opening a co-op school.https://hubski.com/pub/471849https://hubski.com/pub/471849Mojo & The Kitchen Brothers - Trail of the Space Sasquatchhttps://hubski.com/pub/471845https://hubski.com/pub/471845
