Just can’t take any time off anymore

So I was sick for a little bit there and if anything the world has gotten even crazier. I’m not even going to go into the child rapist who is ensnared with TWO presidents, one from each party, a cabinet member and a few other notables. I’m not even going  to go into the idea that  we’re already wondering if the new Levees in New Orleans will hold up this hurricane season – or even this week. I’m not even going to go into the deaths taking place in ICE Concentration Camps, moving us from a 7 to an 8 on the 1-10 scale of comparing ourselves to Nazi Germany scale. I’m not even going to go into the GOP mailer that darkened the skin of Colin Kaepernick’s skin tone, just so that you could be certain that he is a black man.

I’m not even going to go into Trump defying a ruling by his own Supreme Court on the census, moving from elected official territory to elected tyrant territory. Update: he instead laid it to rest in the Rose Garden.

Let’s talk about a meeting taking place today at the White House. It’s being called a “Social Media Summit”, but you will find no representatives from Facebook or Twitter or Ello or MeWe or Google or tumblr there. This is social media produced by and promoted by the most anti-social, gut-wrenchingly hideous people on the planet, including:

1. Bill Mitchell – he’s the radio host that promoted QANon on twitter and the likely creator of the pizzagate hoax, which led to shots fired outside of a pizza place in Washington D.C.
2. Carpe Donktum – he’s a man who likes to create memes that are offensive to liberals.
3. Ali Alexander – the person who tried to claim that Sen. Kamala Harriss isn’t an American Black.
4. James O’keefe – Mr. pimp video himself, a convicted felon.
5. Failed (and returning) Senate candidate Roy Moore – a man who loves the 10 Commandments so much that he breaks 2 of them almost daily/
6. Charlie Kirk – founder of Turning Point USA, which often tweets lies as if they were truths, usually as “quotes” from public officials.
7. Benny Johnson – a journalist who has been fired TWICE (by BuzzFeed and the Independent Journal) for plagiarism.
8. Ben Garrison – antisemitic cartoonist (google his cartoon about Jews controlling the Federal Reserve if you have a strong stomach). Oh wait, we’re Israel friendly now – he got disinvited.
9. Heritage Foundation – basically a think tank sponsored by the heirs to the Coors brewing company, Richard Mellon Scaife, and the Koch Family Foundations. Another noted member is Marlboro Cigarettes.
10. Claremont Institute – A think tank considered to be the foundation of “Trump-ism”. Mostly invited because their founder has been complaining about how he shows up as a hateful troll on Google searches.
11. Brent Bozell – who once compared President Obama to “a skinny, ghetto crackhead”.
12. Senator Marsha Blackburn – who believes that social media is censoring conservative content and wants a rating system installed.
13. Rep. Matt Gaetz (Florida) – who called John Dean “a prop” in a congressional hearing, tried to expel two fathers who had lost children at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School from a hearing, and tweeted about suspected infidelity by Michael Cohen when Cohen flipped on Trump.
14. Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit founder, a hoax news site.
15. Brad Parscale – Trump’s reelection campaign manager.

Face it, these are ALL fringe players on the internet. Some are loud and some had marginal influence, but all will have more after today. This is an entire panel of Sheridan Whitesides and we won’t be rid of them for quite a while thanks to this.

That last name is concerning. Brad Parscale LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE so that he could take his current job. He shouldn’t be on White House grounds at all, let alone at a meeting. You know what this is about? Strategy for the 2020 election. Making certain that everyone is on the same page. Hatch Act be damned.

As someone who has seen the real weight of the social media industry thrown around I can tell you that what the White House has done today is to invite in the fleas. We’re going to be stuck with scratching them for a while.

Cheap Shots (Ceflax, to the arm):

Okay, one thing about Jeffrey Epstein. Did he attempt to destroy all the evidence? Scroll down and look at what happened this past April.

So much for Bernie.

This is the WORST casting of 12 Angry Men I’ve ever seen. They’re all in the Jack Klugman role, except for Kushner. He’s Piglet.

Fear Factor. 3^rd section down.

Boom.

Ooh, the Rightie Whities are all triggered that conservatives actually banned weren’t invited.

Pay them girls what they worth.

The Kidney has a special place in the heart. Well, not really.

And because I love you, The Kinks:
