It’s been 3 days and I just feel numb. My brother and I are mostly concerned about our dad getting through the next few weeks. Dad’s sister is coming to town to help him with whatever. Thanks for the kind words guys. I just don’t know how to do this. My wife's father died of heart attack + organ failure (lasted a few weeks) in 2005, and her mother died of pancreatic cancer in 2010. Life is going to be tough, and it will never be the same, but you can get through it. Just know that you'll never get over it. It helps to lean on the family that you do have.

Gives some goals and focus, and can be good to do together. There are no rules, no time limits on mourning. You all watch out for each other and yourselves.

Last week was rough. As much family around as was safe, lots of talking about mom and how incredible she was to literally everyone she met (unless you were an asshole, then she ghosted you completely because life's too short), I've been gradually making my way through a small mountain of sympathy cards from people I've never met but who were close friends of both my parents telling me how much mom meant to them over the years. Those are the remembrances that have meant the most this past week, just people sharing small stories about how mom reached out to them for this or that, even some from her former nursery school students from decades ago who are now grown (mom taught early childhood education for many, many years). Do you remember your preschool teachers from when you were 5? I sure as heck don't, but these people remembered mom.
Dad wrote a beautiful obituary that summed up not only who she was and what she did, but also what she loved. Sunsets, the changing of the seasons, the colors of lichens, socially-conscious literature, horror movies (he left that part out, probably for the best, but mom loved horror movies), close with a paraphrased quote from Ted Kennedy's eulogy for his brother Robert ("she saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it"). That line sums up mom perfectly. When she found a cause she believed in she dove in head-first and DID NOT STOP until she'd made a difference.
What an amazing woman. I was very, very lucky to have known her, let alone to be her son.
Guys, appreciate every sunset.

Cool. So Texas wants to be its own nation. But they're whining about needing federal help from a little fucking snow.
Eat me, Texas. I only ever used you for grandparents, weed, and music.

Yes, I know the weather is a symptom of a much bigger climate breakdown. Maybe they should shut they fuck up and be smart, rational, realistic and act like actual adults about this. But we all know as soon as the trouble passes it'll be back to biting the hand that feeds them. Just as all republicans live each day of their dumb fucking lives.

The current arc almost guarantees us these things in the near-future: -Trump will win again and the Constitution will become a document with an expiration date past its due. He will be nearly completely insane in 4 more years and utterly uncontrollable, and the worship will only increase for him. North Korea will be but silly pikers matched against the devotion a retarded rapist game show host will receive from his international cult. -Q bullshit will be taught in public schools. -Ted goddamn motherfucking Cruz will be Chief Justice. -Private police and paramilitary forces will organize and begin getting contracts from some states and cities. Noem in SD will be first to embrace them, showing the rest of the country how positive and peaceful things are...when you're white and there are only about 150 people living in the entire goddamn state.
I saw a clip of a large cartoony Trump being carted around the CPAC convention today. Except for the red, white & blue painted details, it was a fucking golden statue. The party of total lack of awareness or irony literally made their golden calf to worship.
America's doomed because of Americans.

If he's dead he's definitely winning the nomination forever.
But he's a fucking cockroach and there's nothing mankind can do to destroy him. He'll live to rape the next 40 years.

If he's still alive in 2024 and runs again but doesn't get the nomination, he will 100% run as a 3rd party candidate.
But without Twitter he's basically neutered. He couldn't win 2020 even with the support of his cult, and without Twitter he can't talk to the cult. At any rate I'm glad I don't have to think about him ever single day.

So, somewhat shocking but also completely unsurpising, some fucks who thought they were clever and I guess didn't think anyone but their fellow Nazi assholes would notice, designed and built the CPAC stage to be the exact same shape as the Odal rune, which was used by the SS and other Nazis during World War II and also and by Neo-Nazis today. www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/2/26/2018311/-The-CPAC-Main-Stage-Strongly-Resembles-A-N-zi-SymbolThese pricks have all but dropped any pretense of being "conservative" and have fully embraced fascist populism. They also seem to want people to believe they're not the party of white nationalism, being increasingly more comfortable being open with it while turning around and saying "wHiTe nAtIoNaLiSm iS a mYtH aNd aLsO iT wAs tHe dEmoCrAtS wHo fOuNdEd tHe kKk aNd A rEpUbLiCaN pReSiDeNt wHo fReEd tHe sLaVeS. HERP DERP!" I hate these people, and I kind of hope a fucking meteor hits Orlando Sunday afternoon. Not one big enough to cause an extinction event or anything, although I don't think that would be such a tragedy these days, but one just big enough to obliterate everything within a few miles.

Saw that. Wasn't surprised. Even if all the dumb fucks who walked across that stage didn't know, the design was highly likely intentional. I'm sure all the usual demented finger-pointers and whatabouters on the right are scouring every Democratic convention, speech, inauguration and county fair appearance to look for a stage they can wave around as some kind of equivalent.
No one will get fired or be made to quit. There is ZERO impulse to even pretend they believe in accountability anymore.

Jack Posobiec (I hate that I know who this is) is currently trying to minimize it by drawing the shape (at least once very badly, like he failed shapes in kindergarten) over random things that don't look anything like it on platforms where Democrats gave speeches and flipping a photo of the CPAC stage upside down and saying it looks like one of the little characters from Among Us. Meteor. Tomorrow.

America's going to be going through some things. I do believe that I will be dying in an America that is nothing like the one my parents knew. And it's not one they would be proud to know. The Trump Bund is inevitable now.

Been watching Blacklist, just started season 3. It's silly fun, and fucking ridiculous. I'm willing to bet that every idiotic q-natic out there is a big fan of this show. It's their entire insane belief structure packed into an exciting hour where the narrative always shifts to support the next improbable thing for them to latch onto for a minute. It's the deep state conspiracy addict's wet dream show.
And we know how they gnash and wail about "mainstream media" all the time, like they're trained to do. But I will also guarantee you that, to a person, they consume more network drama and cop shows like this than anyone. They mainline media about conspiracy and it changes the way they think because they are weak and willing to be manipulated by the simplest methods. They'd never be able to see the correlation if it was pointed out to them either.

Atlanta has some dumb goddamn cops. And this is going to be how ALL future hate crimes in America will be portrayed, as long as the killer is a white "christian". Cops dig white boys who kill not-white people.
I'd put a fat stack of cash on the eventual revelation that one or several of those Atlanta cops helped this ambitious shit stain concoct the story about an addiction. It makes ZERO sense no matter how you approach it. I mean, religious hillbillies are all sexually retarded in their tiny inbred heads to be sure. But I'm guessing this was tribute to one man, and I'd be far from surprised to learn this was thrown together as a dodge. Shit, if the reports he was heading to Florida are true he was probably heading there to a certain rapist's clubhouse to get a first-hand reaction.
8 people murdered, the lives of their families broken. Because America. And this murderer will be openly adored by many soon enough. Because this is how we made America.

Millions of guns are sold each time people are murdered and the slaughter makes the news.
Had a "responsible" gun owner the other night with his pistol tucked in the waistband, whining about masks to the employees. I'd like to imagine he'll Darwin himself, but the fact is, he'll thrive in this America.
There is no such thing as a responsible gun owner who identifies as republican. Certainly not among those who identify as MAGA or even "conservative" whatever they fuck their retarded little brains think that word means now, totally incorrectly. God=Guns is so ingrained into the minds of the mindless, their culture of gun oil and fear of absolutely everything, lifetimes and generations of fusing together the belief that God loves guns, that God is in every bullet and salvation is only found in their sick fetish.
I own 3 guns. I'll never buy another, and I am struggling right now with why I keep them. I tell myself it's to protect against these exact kinds of people, MAGA terrorists truly are the main threat to America. Before that it was after neighborhood events. And between those things, they were just fun to shoot. But am I really willing to pull the trigger on someone? Am I able, much as I loathe and despise everything they believe in? Probably not, angry and enraged as I might be with and about them. I think it's inevitable they'll be sold off or just turned in to be destroyed. Just a matter of time.
Nothing is going to stop the Retardening of America that will absolutely end with this nation's death. The experiment is over, there is no rebound. We destroyed ourselves the day Reagan beat Carter. Even that dumb dead fucker would be aghast by what we are now, even though he's directly responsible.

Republicans believe in only 2 things: that it's really 1950 every day but they secretly wish it was 1850, and that a god only exists inasmuch as they can exploit the idea of it for their own personal gain and oppression of everything they fear. Prove me wrong. As far as the goddamn cops go, this country needs to tear that protected class of rotted mobsters all the way to the ground and completely redefine what police do and what policing means. It's not what we've so badly manufactured and been made to believe it to be for all these thousands of years. Police have been incorrectly defined from the start. Cops do not serve society, they strive to restrict it and are tasked only with controlling it. And it is the root of so many wrongs and senseless death and murder, of destructive policies and practices. Police have to serve the people to protect us under the law, not only serve politicians and corrupt union bosses, like the pedo cunt in Boston who they all knew is a monster, yet have protected him for his entire career. The leadership are all corrupt, always, and so it goes down the line. Cops, as they exist now in premise and practice, are fucking bad. Matt Gaetz...fuck that coked-up rapist fratboy. He might be the only republican getting his just due in all of this, and will die in prison with an asshole the size of Dallas. That'll be grand.

This chinless bearded turd on Murdercop Chauvin's defense team is getting smeared by this cardiologist.
Chauvin murdered George Floyd in cold blood, was captured on multiple cameras at all angles, and he'll totally get away with it.

The prosecution's case is airtight. Chauvin is the most obviously guilty murderer in a highly publicized trial since fucking ever. The defense's case starts tomorrow, but they have fucking nothing. It's going to be really disgusting when this prick gets off.

I can't remember a more lopsided case than this one. Everyone in the country has seen the video, and whatever reasonable doubt there was about the video was obliterated by the prosecution. Defense likely starts today, but unless they hired a new team of lawyers over the weekend I can't really see how they get any better.
So yeah, the case is 100% airtight. Chauvin murdered Floyd, and we all saw him do it. But the nagging thought I've had is that the defense isn't doing a very good job because they don't really have to. They can half-ass this trial because this is America and their client is a white cop who killed a black man with a history of drug use. All they have to do is not say the N-word.
