How many times has the so-called president used the phrase "so-called whistleblower" because when I saw that tweet I thought I was having deja-vu for a moment.

I sort of can't get over it. He can't go a moment without being a petty, childish, name-calling man-child.

I know a lot of people who basically want anyone in power who will defeat Trump. They don't care who it is.

The problem is with this mode of thinking is that they'll accept anyone if the next person allows them to ignore politics again. For them to be lulled to sleep once more. They desire a life devoid of conflict and by not choosing people who will resolve suffering, we're just kicking the can down the road. That unless they choose someone who will resolve the problems of everyday people, the conflict will never be resolved. It will only be delayed, and only maybe. That if they truly want to go back to their comfortable life, they must go out of their way to extend comfort and aid to others. And the idea just bounces off them, as if it's totally alien and empathy is bizarre.

And by people, I mean the white liberal, the so called moderate. One of their most defining traits is the desire for the absence of conflict. Not peace, or at least nothing healthy, but negative peace. That moment where someone is done kicking you and they tell you not to get up. The white liberal is satisfied with that, or if not, they'll tell you to wait for your time, incremental change is best, be patient. And all you want to do is break the leg of the person who kicked you. But as soon as you stand up for yourself they'll start screaming about violence, despite the threat of violence being everpresent.

I used to be one of these people and I am disgusted with myself in the same way that I'm disgusted with the white liberal. That incremental change, little tweaks, long policies, are loving horrible and demeaning to people who are suffering right now. That people in dire need don't need help ten years from now if they're patient, and only maybe, and only a little. They need capital H help right now. Not later. Now. And the white liberal will jump on the backs of people willing to deal with their bullshit and will weigh them down, forever whispering that if they're good, they might get their rights later. But only if they're reeeeeeally good.

These people need a kicking to understand what that poo poo feels like. That tension when the kicks stop coming. For someone to be satisfied with their lack of response, or perhaps mildly guilty. For someone to tell them that freedom is a long, arduous process of tiny, incremental change. That their rules are best and that revolutionary change is unthinkable nonsense, and they'll loudly proclaim it so, or perhaps whisper it.

Anything to preserve their comfort.

I have to say, I find this sort of commentary frustrating.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to find comfort in life. We all want relief from the stresses of our lovely jobs, our overpriced rent/childcare/healthcare and numerous ways that capitalism continuously fucks us over. That essay on burnout a while back talks about this. Then you mix in the stresses of dealing with your own chronic health issues or caring for the issues of your loved ones or the lovely combination of stagnant wages, rising rents and student debt and that's just all the normal, localized, day to day poo poo. Then you mix in all the poo poo from the President on top of that? Isn't comfort what we're all fighting for, isn't it the whole point?

Most people just want a break. Most people just want the madness to stop. Folks want to live their lives in peace. No poo poo they don't want conflict, no one wants conflict. That doesn't make you evil or selfish, it makes you human. The number of times I've had to sit down with someone suffering a panic attack over this poo poo has gone up dramatically in the past few years. We all have stories like these, where bank accounts went negative or medicine was hard to get or folks had to make hard choices about finding somewhere to live or not being able to have kids. I bolded a section above because you clearly understand that folks need help, but most of the people you're decrying as "white, moderate liberals" are like the vast majority of us, people who in some way need help.

Sure, gently caress the rich assholes on TV and in the newspapers that are actually holding us back. gently caress them hard and gently caress them often. But that's not most folks.

I'm shocked that the loving dumbest and most wildly incompetent person in the world was elected president. I'm in awe of how absolutely loving dumb this man is, every day.

Something that I didn't realize until a Facebook post alerted me to it is that his use of the spelling Liddle when referring to Schiff isn't just him being a complete fuckwit. There's some PizzaGate-wannabe conspiracy chuds are trying to get out there saying that he's connected to some secret group of child molesters that operate under the name of the Liddle Kidz Foundation. Fucker is sending signals alluding to this poo poo right out in the open, and it's something that goes right over the heads of most people because it's easy to assume it's just President Mushbrain not knowing what words are.

Close! He apparently waits until they turn 18 and then tries to date them.

(This is what he did to Natalie Portman, who he claimed in his book to have dated when she was 20 and she came out and was like “nah we didn’t date and I was 18 and stopped hanging out with him because I realized he was a creepy old guy that wanted to date an 18 year old.”)

gently caress if I know how that would work. Can a state enforce that? I would assume they'd need a court order to affect an arrest.

Not in their jurisdiction. The way the House would enforce inherent contempt is sending their own guy to arrest him. Though NY might find some way to cooperate in providing some muscle to the Sergeant-at-arms who is the guy supposed to bag Rudy and drag him into the House but was probably not hired and staffed with the need to do that in mind.
