Farewell, Bob Morton
As long as Trump and The GOPrs are running the government...
I'm perfectly fine with running America under Pottery Barn rules: If the GOPrs break America, they bought it.
No lifelines, you incompetent Republican motherfuckers. Stealing control of the government comes with consequences.
Meanwhile, rather than playing tit for tat with the GOPrs, we ought concentrate on building support for Democrats in the spaces between large urban centers.
Personally, mobile Dems ought to consider making a move into Red America. We need to literally spread the love around.

For me, Friday is show day
Show time is 1PM ET, of course, and one hour before, while America is going to hell in a hand basket, I'll be too busy with other things to care to watch.
One thing though, I've already collected several tracks, all with the corresponding theme of FDT or a variation thereof.
The plan is to end each one of my programs with a FDT track during all of 2017 and at the end of the year I'm going to create a special mix of all those tracks and post it on Mixcloud.
It's a small thing, I know. But hell, I'm on the internet... It's not like the FCC can say anything about it.

The Subtle Linguistics of Polite White Supremacy
What is Polite White Supremacy?
Polite White Supremacy is the notion that whites should remain the ruling class while denying that they are the ruling class, politely. Affectionately, its called #PWS for short. It has been referred to as the Casual American Caste System, Delicate Apartheid, Gentle Oppression, or what I like to call it after a few drinks: Chad Crow, the super chill grandson of Jim Crow.
No but seriously, Polite White Supremacy is very real. So why is it that we must specifically say Polite White Supremacy rather than Racism? We must say Polite White Supremacy for three reasons. First, saying #PWS puts the responsibility solely on the creators of a systemic problem. Second, this phrase addresses the subtlety and casualness with which oppression is administered. Thirdly, it eradicates the all-too-common confusion between racism and prejudice. Its important to eradicate this confusion so it can be clear that racism is tied to a power structure and access to resources.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RACISM AND PREJUDICE
Racism and prejudice are NOT interchangeable. Racism is the systemic oppression of one group of people who can be categorized within certain phenotypical traits over multiple generations that has been, at one point, sanctioned by a country, the majority and/or ruling class. Racism is committed only by the ruling class and agents of the ruling class because they have the power that comes with racism. Racism, in America, is absolutely the attack dog of the white ruling class. However, sometimes its also a slow poison in that it causes its victims to die of exhaustion or grief. Again, racism is a kind of prejudice that comes with power. Racism is the systematic and intentional oppression of group of people from the ruling class and its agents. In America, the ruling class is white people of all classes.

I haven't seen anything out of Trump that would make him remotely trustworthy
Duplicitous and mendacious are words that were made to describe him.
Deal with him at your peril.

The Greatest GIF Ever...
Really, what crawled up David Frum's ass and died?
He's really intent on rewriting history this morning.
I can just imagine in four years, when he's busy happy talking Trump's single term fiasco.
