Seriously people are proud of acting this way? Really? If a child acted like this the parents would discipline or correct them, yet adults think college kids and tRump supporters think the thuggish racist behavior is great. tRump loves it. It is his style. Berate, ridicule, insult, demean others is what tRump thinks is intellectual reasoning and discussion. What has this country devolved into? I thought we grew out of this childish shit a long time ago. Hugs. Scottie
Here’s a reminder about the scene at Ole Miss:
There were hundreds of counter-protesters, in contrast to the few dozen pro-Palestine protesters. The scene evoked memories of the resistance to the civil rights struggle in the US south six decades earlier.
The counter-protesters included individuals waving American flags and Trump flags. At one point, they sang the American national anthem, drowning out the pro-Palestine group’s chants.
There were no arrests, but the actions of the counter-protesters – who shouted “Fuck Joe Biden”, “Who’s your daddy?”, “USA”, “Hit the showers”, “Your nose is huge”, and included a white man making monkey noises at a Black woman – have been widely condemned on social media.
Read the full article. Below is Trump’s new ad.
I believe that his full name is James Pearson Staples.

His parents must be SO PROUD
oh wait. Maybe they are
I would like to think that his behavior is just a bit of bad judgment he will grow out of, but I seriously doubt it. Not in Mississippi. He has so very, very few good examples to look to.
I’d say it’s majorly bad judgment, but agree with your prognosis. It’s too late to scour the racism out of him
I’ll bet there is a high likelihood that he has ancestors who were in a mob that lynched someone.
Good people on both sides…
These white boy frats have been raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars via GiveSendGo over the past few days. There are all kinds of right-wing companies that want employees like this.
It’s almost as if Republicans were the party of drunk, pasty white rapey fratbros.
We’ve met these shitheads before (click to enlarge):
Some things never change. 😠
Scottie's Playtime 
I just can’t with any of that. Sort of like the diaper-wearers protesting “shitzinpantz.”
I saw too much of that racist crap when I was young, and I have not forgotten any of it, nor the murderous results.

Hi Ali. Are you OK? I am worried when you said you just can’t … because I am worried about your emotional health. I am very sorry if I triggered you. Hugs. Scottie

Ali you are a grand person. I care about you. I know very well when a person gets to their breaking point. When they “just can’t anymore” because I have been there. I wouldn’t ever want anything to harm you, especially if I caused it. You and others often tell me to take care of myself and give myself time and space to heal. Please also give your self that grace.
On a different post you say you play games on Steam. I also have a steam account I use to play games on. What kinds of games do you play. Hugs. Scottie

Thank you. The “I just can’t” line I was using was more the “I just can’t with these people,” or “I just can’t with these [whatever.]” I read it all the time all over, for when some people, let’s say MAGAs this time, do something like what they’re doing with the diapers, or when racists do something like re-enact the 60s except in color. I just can’t with them.
I know “I just can’t anymore” can mean a suicidal ideation, and would not subject people online to it. If I was having trouble, or you wrote something that caused something like that, I’d write you an email and let you know that I sent it. I’m pretty conscious of where I am mentally, and work to make sure darkness doesn’t get too deep, so it will pass sooner. Because it always passes. I do appreciate your checking in, though, really.
I own two Hidden Figures games, one called “The Beds We Make” which I haven’t even played yet as I had a lot of home-business to deal with and sort of forgot it, then recently I bought the one called “A Little To The Left.” The backstory of that is that the player owns a cat who goes around messing up recently organized stuff, and the player has to straighten it out. Without benefit of having been the one to originally organize it. Now I’m an anti-clutter person, a place for everything and everything in its place most of the time person, and having been a legal office office manager, somewhat tight-butted about organization in general. 🙂 The game was on sale, the pitch intrigued me, so I bought it. I’ve played it a few times, and it is really quite satisfying, though there have been one or two rounds I can’t get without looking at the solution. I’m thankful I don’t mind that; I know people who are so tight they’ll play for hours before looking up a solution! 😀 Not me. It appeals to me, and I play for fun. I’m not sure any of these are games you’d care about, but it takes all kinds to make a world! 🙂 💖

Hi Ali. Thank you for taking care of yourself. Please any time you feel distress or are in a bad place about anything, not just something on the blog, please do email me and tell me. As for the hidden object games we love them. In the days when we had a different set up, I had my desk facing Ron who had his computer and desk sideways to me or with his back to me. We would open one of those games on each computer and help each play it, help each other find the different objects. It was so much fun and we could do it together. Ron doesn’t have the finger dexterity for most games, so these puzzle games were perfect for him. Hugs. Scottie

No. I am fine. No, I don’t trigger like that. I do get to a point where I need to back away from it, but I know when that comes. We’ve had bad weather for a couple of weeks which is stressful for me. Please do not worry. I’d send you an email if something like that came up.
That all said, this diaper stuff-I still just can’t. Mostly I can’t come up with the appropriate word to truly end that sentence. I’ve seen it all over the ‘net, so I used it, too. I’m disgusted that people would do that to themselves, I’m disgusted that people would think it’s funny or cute or whatever it is they think. I think it’s an awful human being who would do that, and I hate that there are awful humans even as I know there are. I wrote, I think on MPS, that this is on a level with the purple heart bandaids Republicans put on during the Kerry v. Bush election, but the diapers have another level of disgust.
I know we all must go, and that some of us need underwear that’s more supportive of various conditions, and I begrudge no one the use of that, not even tfg. But putting that on like that as a campaign supporter action-that’s just I cannot choose a word for what it is.
Also, now I apologize for the numbers of words I used. “I just can’t”, even as it makes my grammar-nerd teeth tingle a bit, seems apt. Everyone knows I don’t correct their writing, but grammar and punctuation are a thing with me. I also play a game on Steam called “A Little to the Left.” And now we know! 😀
I should reiterate what I think about the racism, bigotry, and naziism; it is awful, and people who demonstrate it in that fashion as if it’s simple free speech after all these years of seeing how ugly it has been in the past, are awful.

Hi Ali. Thank you for being you. You are a wonderful person, caring, kind, thinking of others, and trying always to do the correct thing even in a bad situation. The world needs more people like you.
I was lucky to be born in the early 1960s so missed the 1960 race fights. I lived in a place where I don’t think I saw anything but white kids. I think the first time I was exposed to black people was in my late teens. I just never understood the idea that skin color makes one inferior. To me the idea is only a really insecure weak person would need to feel superior over being born with white skin and feeling that makes you better than others. Why?
Ali on the diaper stuff. I know, I hate it also. It hits me hard because I was forced to wear diapers publicly as a humiliation as a kid. It was done as a way to degrade me. I was refused to use the toilet and then when I peed or dogs help me pooped it was used as an excuse to punish me even more. So to see full adults do this stupid stuff to support their cult leader just proves they are a cult. Don’t they understand some people have conditions that require the use of such things? What an ignorant bunch of people. And what is more, they are proud of how ignorant they are. Hugs. Scottie
