Occurred to me today, given how Donald Trump has exposed everybody around him as willing to commit treason rather than have the kompromat on them get out, that maybe the rumours about him being an FBI informant are true.
In any case, he sure has brought back voting, eh?
Xtra! Xtra! Read all about it! Mainstream media pundit, Rex Murphy, lambasts mainstream media in mainstream media for not reporting on Joe Biden's son Hunter being a rich pedophile pizza trafficker in Ukraine!
So of course CBC is back to its old tricks with Chartwell advertising its seniors residences to local news watchers as places to visit.
Yeah, key word - visit.
Then report what you saw to CBC.
Everybody and her maiden aunt is going on about the children this Halloween, and how they'll miss out on this most sacred of holidays, the one that's all about candy and dressing up in costumes and getting to run around outside at night.
It falls on a Saturday this year, too. So much easier for the dads who have to accompany children nowadays because helicopter parenting is real, dammit, and no modern parent is comfortable letting their children run around outside during the day, never mind at night.
My brother got mugged - twice - on Halloween, and it happened when he was old enough for me to remember it, and he's three and a half years older than me. He broke a mirror in my Gram's bedroom, though, so bad luck for seven years.
But that's not what this entry is about because this entry is about sparing a thought for the millions of young women who won't get to dress up like sexy mice, or Rocky Horror Picture Show maids, or just how they would always like to dress because they're into looking sexy but recognize that it can hold them back professionally and so reserve it for Halloween.
Also, the other type of young woman on Halloween.
Ottawa told today that the video we saw of a white cop beating a black suspect to death was actually a video of a white cop NOT beating a black suspect to death.
Update: White cop union boss was just on the local CBC news to remind us that his member was responding to a call by several sexual assault victims.
Whoa I did not see white cop union boss throws victims of sexual assault under the bus coming.
Wait.
I did. Of course I did. Of course I saw white cop union boss throws victims of sexual assault under the bus coming
Yeah I think we need more than a conversation.
In the meantime I say we defund that white cop union.
Being able to articulate in writing how I experience this life we're all living I feel like the least I can do is blather on about it on my blog.
So here's one effect of COVID-19 that for me comes 40 years too late: The shutdown.
Look, millions of people who used to have to go out in the world to make a living for ourselves and our families - and didn't want to - can now: "Earn $$$ working from home!"
It's all I ever wanted.
Also, not only do I not have to pretend to give a shit about Halloween now, I don't even have to buy candy for it - candy that would normally be boycotting but it's not like I'm going to give out organic fair trade chocolate to a bunch of kids, is it.
Oh hell, in for a penny, in for a pound.
This Christmas is going to be the best ever.
Remember when Nancy Pelosi said she wanted a democratic solution to Donald Trump and people of all politics gnashed their teeth and shook their fists at the sky?
Well she was right.
Democracy caused this mess. Democracy can damned well clean it up.
And, fortunately, it looks like it will.
Because Republicans are voting Democrat.
Hey, I'm like you. I wanted a criminal justice system solution to Donald Trump, too. Cripes, I thought he'd be in prison by January 2017. If I'd known that '80s attention whore was going to be driving us all to the Hamptons for four fucking years, I'd have left social media.
But I guess Republican voters had to witness their party's nominee - an 80's attention whore in hock to the Russian mob - being President of the United States - for four years - before they could consider not voting for the Republican Party and voting for the Democratic Party instead.
Anybody have "Donald Trump finally faces a consequence after a lifetime of reprehensible behaviour and the rest of us are supposed to wish him well because he's the Russian mob's pick as US President" on their bingo card?
