58. The Reagan Model Computer
Fri Sep 19, 2025, 07:16 AM
Sep 19

My dad's favorite joke. Terribly sexist - but my mom would laugh at it too. My grade school years were spent with my father yelling at the CBS evening news. He would say when we were doing goofy little kid things "Are you stupid? No. Then why are you acting like a Republican?" He also used to threaten that if we didn't stop acting the fool and going for bad, he would drop us off at the White House and make us live with the Reagans.

But I digress. I mean - I'm over it. Its fine.

On President Biden's worst day - he's better than the syphilis riddled diaper shitting dictator we have now.

When I talk to the ancestors at night - I always ask for The Universe to make sure Biden out lives the maggot.

The reality is this: I'm not down with ANY Black woman having demands placed on her. Once again, we were ignored. Why can't Pete Buttigieg do it? S.O.S. Blinken? Ron Klain?

America needs to read the room that the Democratic Party core base is sitting in. The tolerant welcoming Democrats are down the hall.

This is the cruelty is the point, scorched earth, blind to anything but dominating the opposition tea drinking Club watching America burn until they wake up and Listen To Us This Time.
