Money Laundering 101

Conundrum, if you will:

A ballroom is mostly empty space, and yet it costs …$250 million. Really? Drapes? Chandeliers? Huh?

See where I’m going here?

The Republican Party thinks it’s immune from implosion. While we see it hanging off a crag by its fingernails.

Even after it was taken over by an old fashioned two bit grifter. A flim-flam man.

The greatest hope I find these days is on calls with other organizers.

There are many many many people, smart people, experienced people, who are determined to make sure we build a better world out of this chaos.

It’s impossible to sit on those calls and think in any way that we will fail.

The only thing most people know about Marie Antoinette was her attitude about the people crying out for bread

and then she was beheaded. Which is putting it mildly.

San Francisco here.

Metaphor, if you will:

Sometimes the president may leave your lights on. Then you’ll be happy.

Then at other times by whim he will turn the lights off. You’ll be so sad.

See how this works?

Hey Fascists decided not to kick down doors today while insisting that’s what is best for you.

Aren’t they nice? Isn’t this a nice day?

This is called malignant normalization and consolidation of presidential authority.

Everything they do is a form of malignant normalization.

That’s a psych term for how fascism works in society.

They may give people favors or change a course of action.

That’s not an essential change from a wider program of violent oppression and can be a mode of further consolidation of power.

An illegitimate abuse of power doesn’t acquire legitimacy through more illegitimate abuses of power.

It’s called “malignant normalization.”

True. I didn’t make that up.

Trump deciding not to order troops anywhere is still

…yes:

Malignant Normalization.

Trump has no need to militarize a sanctuary city after all

Duly noted for history.

So much for that dumb course of action.

Trump is working really hard to de-legitimize his next term by sabotaging the next presidential election.

Q: Antifa vs American Transcendentalists- who wins a tug of war?

With lots of slippery mud.

Lightning round.

Why are all the Nobel Peace Prizes kept in a secret warehouse controlled by Antifa and George Soros?

It’s important to note that photons also bounced off Secretary Noem, this during an inspection of facilities near Lake Michigan, a location believed to be the site of the Antifa leadership’s underground lair and research laboratories.

It is not known how many photons bounced off WH officials.

JKoehn @jkoehn.bsky.social · 14d

Antifa was not the cause of those photons bouncing off the president during play at golf.
