He'll be buried on his golf course, that way you have to pay to get in, and they can make sure no one....um....gives it a golden shower. No way will he be buried anywhere the general public can access.

Infuriating.

Ah, the Ballroomburg Trials.

I like the sound of that.

Wipe out the national debt. Sell tickets. $10 and you get a swing of a sledgehammer and the piece you break off.

No, not at all. You are 100% entitled to your opinion and I will defend your right to have it. That's - at least for now - what makes this the United States.

Just like I take Lenny Bruce's side. It's just a word. That's all it is. It doesn't hurt anyone. Unlike a gun. That hurts kids.

Dicks. Dicks. Ballroom Dicks
Dicks. Dicks. Ballroom Dicks

I want to build a ballroom
To be dictator’s all I want to do
The Epstein files stay hidden
The population’s angry? Oh, boo hoo!

Now my sanity, in fact, it’s already been cracked
I’m devolving in front of your eyes
The masses, they will frown, I’ll tear the East Wing down
And, like the Grinch, I’ll love to hear their cries

The economy’s pathetic
Some even call it septic

Another Great Depression
And Congress ain’t in session

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

My ballroom will be gold
The country, I have sold
To the Saudi and the Chinese pricks.
My 30 percent still loves me, the rest, they want to shove me
In a volcano, with my Ballroom Dicks
Ballroom Dicks

Sometimes you just gotta write it to stay sane.

Trump: “Are you ready, Mark?”
Zuckerberg: “Uh-huh”
Trump: “Jeff?”
Bezos: “Yeah.”
Trump: “Tim Apple?”
Tim: “Okay”

Trump: “Alright, fellas, let’s go!
Oh, it’s been getting so hard
The country refuses to bow down to me
My dreams are getting so bad
The deepest pits of Hell, they yawn for me

I see the people in the street
They’re marching with their feet
And their hatred is as hot as the sun
It’s a matter of time, before they start to climb
The White House fences and I gotta run

Oh, yeah, it is frightening
Everybody will be fighting
And I’m such a fat old fart
I’ll need a fast golf cart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Stephen Miller, what a hack
Says, “Antifa will attack.
You need to shake down your Ballroom Dicks
To give you lots of money to
Build a bunker, honey
And they’ll pay, all of those Ballroom Dicks”

Ballroom Dicks. Ballroom Dicks.
Ballroom Dick. Ballroom Dicks.

I wish Randy Rainbow would spoof Ballroom Blitz. At the beginning, he could cover the companies funding it. “Mark?” “Yeah?” “Jeff?” “Uh-uh.” “Tim Apple?” “Okay.” “Alright, fellas, let’s go!”

He could call it “Ballroom Dicks.”

When this is over - and it will be.

Nuremberg-style Trials.

There are employee rolls. Tax statements. Video. (If you film them, don't delete it, save it somewhere secure - we may need it.)

"I was just following orders" didn't work for the Nazis. It won't work for them.

I believe we are already there in 90% of the world. I feel sorry for the grandkids. They're kids.

I even feel a modicum of pity for his kids. God knows what they suffered at his hands. Abuse, certainly. He warped them. What an awful man he is. He will leave nothing good behind.

I check to make sure I'm still on the voter rolls every couple of months. In 2016, two guys I was working with checked and they'd been changed to Republicans. In California!

Always check before an election. Once you've voted, check to see it's been counted.

He reminds me of that scene from "I, Claudius," when Claudius is dying. Caligula appears to him, "Uncle Claudius, I wasn't the Messiah, after all. Would you believe that? Could have knocked me over with a feather when they told me."

One day - and I hope I live long enough to see it - Trump will be damnatio memoriae'd.

Names chisled off, statues destroyed, all records of their existence erased.

Ballrooms bulldozed.

I used to be proud that I went to UCLA.
I'm feeling something quite different today.

Check with the Secretary of State's office in your state. This is my interpretation of what they are saying.

As an occasional poll worker, I am glad that I don't live in a red state. As a California resident, I am concerned that Trump is sending election monitors here and the New Jersey.

If I understand this correctly - it means that voters who need assistance at the polls or filling out their ballot, will not be allowed to designate someone to assist them in casting their vote.

They're doing everything they can to marginalize voters.

Theoretically: Sounds like something out of the WWII manuals about how to fuck things up and sabotage the invaders. Yay!

Concretely: Even if you fuck everything up, your name will be on the employment rolls and you'll never be able to explain it to future employers/the rest of the world. Yikes!

I say this as an occasional poll worker: I drop mine off well before Election Day. If I don't take it to City Hall, I use the drop box at the bottom of the hill, and then wait to get my notification text that it was received and counted. Everyone should sign up with BallotTrax. ballottrax.com

Election monitors? Fuck these people.

Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com · 8h

NEW: The DOJ announced it will send election monitors to California and New Jersey polling sites for the upcoming November elections. Democrats and advocates warn the move may be a step toward the Trump administration seizing control of voting.
