Donald Trump and the Crisis of Moral Discernment

YouTube

Watching the news pushing the narrative hard, that Joe Biden is too old...

I think of how someone snarked that Trump saying that the media was an enemy of the people wasn't the lie.

The lie was Trump pretending that the press was *his* enemy.

American media made Trump.

If we fall to a weird new fascist darkness, our current media here will go right along and help deliver it.

...But Biden's Old

...But Biden's Old

A little ditty about the choice between the two candidates. With apologies to Cole Porter. Animation by CHUNK. Donald Trump is a frump who is facing 90 counts, But Biden’s old. He lied to the banks by astonishing amounts, But Biden’s old. Donald Trump had his minions stage a coup, Said that covid-19 was no worse than the flu, He’s closer to Putin than Sergei Shoigu, But Biden’s old. Trump is a ra-cist, a ra-pist, a mis-ogynist and a slob, He’s a CI for the FBI, Cuz he’s owned by the mob. He’s currently estranged from his third wife, He sits on his ass during moments of strife, He’ll stop all elections and he’ll rule for life, ...but Biden’s old.

Dish washing time is also time for listening to @gregolear and @LincolnsBible 's "The Five 8" podcast.

This episode: "LIV: Dragon at the Gates (with Victor Rud)"

Good listen.

Some discussion of fuckaloos playing really long games, setting us up for ugliness.

Some discussion of where America and the West has failed at learning hard lessons about various long game players.

Oof. Tough. But listen.

XLVIII: Once More Unto the Breach

I have been meaning to say: While I work on cleaning up the dishes, I often catch up on #TheFive8 podcast of @gregolear and @LincolnsBible .

What a good listen!

Stephanie Koff / "Lincoln's Bible" was talking about information warfare, how fuckaloos mess with and shape narrative, subvert our elections.

Fascinating and awful stuff!

I should also mention LB's "The World Beneath" podcast about the last century of spooks and mobsters. Lot of history there!

XLII: Every Indictment Everywhere All At Once

Muskrat's pledge to create a fossil fuel free future is nothing but a taxpayer money grift.

Would love to hear what @gregolear and @LincolnsBible have to say about it on Friday evening! #thefive8
