Reflections From a Murky Pond

By normative standards, Biden is in bad company. Only him and some of the Western Hemisphere’s worst dictators have had their political opponent arrested or otherwise weaponized the courts system against them. But, to be heartlessly fair, neither Biden nor his supporters may consider this bad company. Chavez, Ortega, and Morales were, after all, Socialists and everybody knows you can’t enact socialism upon a nation without the use of force and fiat.

Like all Americans, I suffer from PTSD – Pretty Tired of Stupid Democrats. Honestly, this particular expression of PTSD has become a hallmark of Americanism. The only ones within our borders not experiencing it to some extent are the ones who are only Americans in the context of legal status, i.e., Democrats and likely Democrats.

An Extra Day Of Black History

As it’s a Leap Year, here’s an extra day of Black History for you. After all, as most of us know, if Blacks aren’t over-represented in something other than crime and incarceration, they’re “under-represented.” 😉

But, all sarcasm aside, Black women in America have a history of beauty and desirability that stretches all the way to the very beginnings of the American colonies. It wasn’t until the mid-1600s – two generations after the founding of Jamestown – that this was decided to be a “problem.” Before then, sex and intermarriage between Whites and Blacks was accepted if not societally approved of. Indeed, before then, the child of a White man and a Black slave was even born free; centuries-old English law conferring the condition (status) of the father upon his children.

Trump and Navalny – two men with more in common than should be allowed. And yes, Trump’s current situation is as similar to Navalny’s as is possible with the differences in timing and legal systems between Russia and America. The best evidence for that being how all the Lamestream Media outlets immediately derided the comparison with extreme prejudice and vitriol. That level of protestation strongly implies denial and projection.

True, President Trump is alive, not dead, and he wasn’t sentenced to life in a gulag in the hopes that he’d simply die there. Democrats wish he had been, but our legal system doesn’t allow for that. Nor do we have a charge that exactly matches the Russian legal system’s extremism. But also true is that the Democrats have marshal led and weaponized the US’s legal and law enforcement systems against President Trump nonstop and without adhering to any normative limits since he became a real contender for the Republican nomination in the 2016 election. And, in both cases, it was because of “extremism,” i.e., being considered a threat to the existing regime.

So yes, Trump is our Navalny. The only differences between the two men are solely based upon the differences between what Putin and the Democrats can get away with under their respective laws.

It’s seems that Disney’s remaking the Original Star Wars trilogy (episodes 4-6). From the look of early, internal promo shots, they’re staying true to form. 😛
