screenshot of my trash for the last couple of days

I have mentioned here that I get Trump emails.

My best guess is that I was on a list purchased by the RNC, and among my friends I am not alone.

So many Trump emails. And they are ramping up. Between elections it could be a couple a week. Then one or two a day. Now around 7-10 a day. They even trot out Hilary yesterday.

In the event you do not get them, here is a little snapshot into how they are inundating their supporters (and non-supporters. Often they tell me they are disappointed that *I* one of their BEST supporters, has not given any money!)

Things like “BIG NEWS” are that I have been made a Trump MVP, but have yet to accept!

With the Kamala Harris pick I am getting fewer “limited offers!!!!!” for merch, but this hat was being offered at the beginning of August:

Freedom 2020 Hat has recently been replaced by offers of a traditional MAGA hat signed by el president.

(I do like the idea of him sitting there in his robe watching FOX and Friends and signing cartons of hats. It would keep him busy and away from doing other damage.)

One thing that is very clear from the emails — they are throwing everything they can think of at their list. And they are doing it constantly.

I cannot imagine how many more people might get if they decide to participate in “surveys” or click on PAC ads. This is with no encouragement.

I know this is a dog bites man blog — but I just wanted to share with those who have not been monitoring this nonsense through the years.

The familiar Trump family glam shot in the gilded penthouse...and a special visitor (wait for it...) — I admit it, I can never pass up the chance to use this masterpiece of sadness.

Where will Barron Trump be going to the school in the fall?

How about the Kushner kids? (sounds like a really creepy sitcom).

I disagree with @CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 8, 2020

Trumpism has worked hard to make opinion on par with scientific fact. It is not a coincidence that Flat Earthers are back with a vengeance during this administration.

But what is he “disagreeing” with here? He makes it clear — it’s too expensive to keep kids and school staff safe. Too expensive, means they are not worth that cost to him. It is not really surprising that our kids are not worth couch change to this “man.” It is not clear that his children are even worth that to him.

But would Melania agree to have Barron go to public schools with the reopening plans he feels are cost-effective enough? Would Ivanka be cool with hers going to these same public schools that are “good enough” for my children?

They need to put their mouths where their no money is, and make that pledge to sacrifice their own kids on the altar of his desperate scheme to jump-start the economy. Why would he take steps to bring the virus into control when school opening corner-cutting can become the latest shiny outrage AND he might convince people to sign onto his newest magical thinking?

I wish I could believe that people wouldn’t subject their children to the dangers of magical thinking — but look at anti-vaxxers. The fact that Andrew Wakefield, the OG quack of anti-vaxxing has been thoroughly discredited and shown to be nothing more than a fiction writer, but what does that matter when his made up “study so strongly supports opinions about the dangers of vaccines?

I really want someone to ask Trump where his son and grandchildren will be attending school...(I dunno, I guess cuz I want to hear him lie? Ask Ivanka — she at least does some mental contortions when she lies, sometimes...)

(sorry choir, I get tired of just talking to myself.)

Racism AND stochastic terrorism...Dog air raid siren is the new dog whistle.

While people are rightly focusing on Trump’s consistency in his definition of “great people, I want to draw some attention to something else in this now deleted tweet.

“Corrupt Joe is shot.” “Joe is shot” and “Biden is shot” are all phrases Trump is trotting out. This is troubling for multiple reasons and should not be seen as an accident.

On June 22, he was interviewed by (surprise!) Fox News’ Raymond Arroyo and he used a phrase he has been trying to get traction with: Biden is shot.

So @RaymondArroyo asked softball Q's in his @EWTN
@worldoverdc interview with the President; it's no surprise. He does that whenever he interviews Trump, Bannon, etc.

But it's sickening to see him laugh heartily as Trump says, "Biden is shot." That's simply cruel & un-Catholic. pic.twitter.com/TlipWJ468Q

It’s more than cruel. it is arguably stochastic terrorism — the willingness to harness other people’s mental instability into a “random” act of terrorism.

This has been in his playbook for a long time. This is meant to allow him plausible deniability when someone takes him up on his suggestion.

But let's dig deeper.

We have been told that formative to Trump’s psyche is early indoctrination to the teachings of Norman Vincent Peale. The “power of positive thinking”: imagine yourself into the future you want.

I can find him saying Biden is shot as far back as a February interview with Geraldo Rivera to multiple tweets this month.

Do we have any guess what Trump is positively thinking about? Or the future he envisions for himself?

(Also, when

The focus is on the Ã¢ÂÂwhite powerÃ¢ÂÂ video but here the president uses language about his rival that could get some folks a visit from the USSS if they said it about Trump. Ã¢ÂÂCorrupt Joe is shot.Ã¢ÂÂ https://t.co/L3NxHaCfqk

Congress must rewrite PPP loan forgiveness to include loss of revenue

A general view of the U.S. Capitol Building as seen behind a sign that reads Ã’STOPÃ“ in Washington, D.C. on April 13, 2020 amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Global confirmed COVID-19 cases approached 2 million and total deaths passed 100,000 this week, meanwhile the U.S. Congress negotiated subsequent stimulus funding as an important small business lending fund nears empty. (Graeme Sloan/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images)

We get it.

They wanted to get money into the hands of small businesses fast.

But, for some reason, once again, Congress “believed” the hedge fund class would play fair, and come to an epiphany that helping small businesses and nonprofits survive is better for America than finding a loophole to line their pockets.

Shocking, that has not been the case.

Nothing in the PPP loan forgiveness package, that was just raided by law firms and hedge funds and other businesses that have not seen a major disruption in revenue streams prevents them from this blatant money grab.

Congress need to amend the loan forgiveness qualifications. Businesses need to show a significant loss in earned revenue year over year to qualify for forgiveness.

It’s simple.

Maybe those same businesses will still be happy to have low interest loans...but I doubt it.

I bet, there will be a lot higher repayment level when the money is not “free”.

Write to your congresspeople, please and suggest this change.

Full Disclosure:

I am the managing director of a nonprofit theatre and arts education organization that has been operating for almost 50 years. We have lost all revenue. I got my application in to by smaller bank immediately by writing to someone we had gotten an line of credit from before, because they never understood the rules clearly enough to even make it easy for their clients to apply. WE all know the intentions of these loans were to help organizations like mine, and independent small businesses weather this crisis.

I have laid myself off. I am determined that eventually, the show will go on.

We can make it through this, but we need to help the greedy haves do the right thing.

Thank you.

Giggling. They are giggling.

This is the legacy of Trump. As much as anything going on this country.

No other president would be aspiring to be liked by these two, moping that the rest of the country and the world don’t understand his love.

Oh, and he is watching it, wishing he was there, part of it, wanting them to think of him as the third musketeer.

I have never aligned with Republican policy, but I know there was a time when Republicans could stand shoulder to shoulder with Democrats in rebuking despots...that is how low the bar is now. Can he bring us much lower before we start the great climb to recovering some shred of dignity on the world stage?

I know he is a never Trumper and a large part of creating/enabling/championing monstrous policies of the GOP...the flying pig moment is that I am posting him...here.

I am now going back to sending my constant stream of emails and tweets to congress members asking them where the babies are...where are the children?

(And wishing the Queen Says she contracted bone spurs and can’t meet with the American Idiot. And wishing I were a fly on the wall at Theresa May’s house...)

Edited to add: in case you missed it, Rep. Paul Gosar condescendingly declared to a career counterintelligence agent that he was an expert in body language...because he was a dentist.

It’s a whole new level for Dunning and Kruger to explore.

On "tender age"

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds baby cousins Evelyn Kate Keane, 6 months old, and Kellen Campbell, 3 months old, following his speech Friday, July 29, 2016, in Colorado Springs, Colo. (Stacie Scott/The Gazette via AP) — I fear for the children -- they will make it worse by making them photo op ready with this disgusting sack of rancid pus at some point...

In watching the news break about “tender age” internment camps, reporters were referring to “tender age” as a euphemism for baby and toddler detainment centers.

But is “tender age” a euphemism. By definition that should be a term that is less direct — hides a blunt truth that might be uncomfortable.

“Tender age” on the other hand, underlines the discomfort with big bold lines. It is just icky. the words give you a skin crawly feeling.

“Tender” — as in soft, easy to chew...like they are caging these babies for some new Trump venture. they are being chewed up and spit out as trump devours them to force funding for his sicko wall.

“Tender age” sounds more like a euphemism for underage porn — like something that would be next to “Barely Legal” in the masked magazine section.

“Tender” does not euphemistically deflect from the concept that these are babies and toddlers — tender underlines the fact that these children are too young, too soft, too in need of care — to be cast into these cages.

I would have to think that this was some super creepy PR decision to further troll the outrage of non-impaired people who are outraged by the internment of children and the policy of separation with no thought to reunification.

They are trolling with human lives. Parents and children. Will Republican congress members REALLY agree that this is a winning strategy?

Do they understand that our government — under Trump and Miller — are trying to make arriving in the United States as horrific as possible, more horrific than the cartels these people are fleeing from? Do they still think that is the United States they swore to serve?

Cashing in on presidency again. Trump is Having a Black Friday sale.

It’s Black Friday, which means I am on track to hit a record for number of unsubscribes I send in one day.

I really want to unsubscribe to this one, but I admit, I feel I need to know what horror garbage fire and his minions are sending to millions of Americans. I check my gag reflex and open them.

And here we have yet another money grab in time for the holidays! Give your family a holiday reminder of how they had to adjust their ethics to support a serial liar and abuser because it “makes liberals mad.”

The fine print at the bottom:

Contributions to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Paid for by Trump Make America Great Again Committee, a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and the Republican National Committee.

Because there you have it American — there is nothing in it for your except some item made in China. Merry Christmas! (because you believe that those words the only thing worth saving.)

Trump and his lies are the GOP. There is no"other" GOP.

So, I have written a couple time about how I get Trump emails. I can only think that someone signed up somewhere with an email close to mine. Or it is a gift from my ex-husband’s new wife, but I digress.

Every time I think I can’t be surprised anymore, I somehow still hit new levels of revulsion, which I have to admit is a sort of surprise, albeit not any kind of party.

I just got this:

“Crooked Hillary” “foreign agent” to “take down President Trump.”

So as we all know — this dossier was begun by a GOP operative (we may find out who on Monday according to Rachel) and at the point where the DNC and Clinton’s campaign took over funding the oppo (which is what it was as opposed to, you know...colluding with an enemy country to hack an adversary, with all sorts of money laundering and payola thrown in...) and when that happened, he wasn’t “President Trump.” It wasn’t ever paid for by Clinton’s campaign to “take down President Trump” because there was no President Trump at that time.

The disingenuousness is breath-taking, but I think the thing that really kills me about this “petition to demand answers on Crooked Hillary” is that is came from the RNC directly. That text box up top? That is at the bottom of this email. Some GOPer started the Steele dossier and they are now actively using it to smear Hillary and raise money.

Any talk of there being “reasonable” Republicans is simply a lie. It is like saying there is a “good cancer”. Like any cancer, they are all out to enrich themselves, country be damned.

Every Republican gets support from the RNC — they all get support from this. They are all Trump.

Bob Corker FTW.
