Astrolovations (I)

Hey there! Just noting down some things I observe and connections I make regarding astrology. And yes, I made up a new word. Deal with it.

You can always spot an Aquarius by that look in their eye and a half smile. Like they're judging you, studying you, and experiencing you all at the same time.

More feminine Aquarians give me cool-girl vibes. They're detached and kind of removed from things, but super chill at the same time. Friendly and open but they have and will express their boundaries.

The more masculine Aquarians can fit that stubborn, know-it-all Aquarian stereotype a bit better. These more unhealed Aquarians are so difficult. Fixed air? Saturn and Uranus dominance? This is not a person who will follow other people's rules. A frustrating energy for sure. I dare say it's giving asshole. LOL

Sagittarius and Gemini make a good duo, but these signs are likely to solely be intellectual. Neither sign is very good at feeling. They aren't emotional! And they may talk about emotions...sure! But don't be fooled!

The most important thing to a Sagittarius Moon? Their freedom! They won't do well in relationships where the other is constantly telling them how to live their life and making critical analyses. Remember this sign is half-man and half-beast. That lower half wants to frolick and go wherever it wishes! If it feels pinned down or caged, it'll fight back or just disappear.

Taureans are always listening. These people are super wise and super knowledgeable but they won't be obvious about it like a Sagittarius or Gemini. It reminds me of how earth has this ability to hold things and fossilize things over time. Taurus kind of has this energy. I think it's the receptivity of Venus in Fixed Earth. AND that Scorpio opposition. Both of these signs are super observant and notice the little details. Their intuitive knowledge is gained from absorbing so much over time and letting that information marinate. It's how they both are able to create such amazing foundations for themselves.

I do believe in cuspy energy. But only cause Sidereal exists. A lottt of people are two different signs in two different systems. Cusps feel like the same sort of situation to me. But also...if you have your birth time you know which sign you fall under, which destroys the whole cusp argument.

I actually do kinda identify more with my Vedic chart than my Tropical chart. I see both energies, but my Pisces Sun/Scorpio Moon makes so much sense to me. Especially once I learned I'm Jyeshtha!

Speaking of Jyeshtha...the voices of these natives are usually distinguishable in some way. I think this may be Mercury-ruled nakshatras in particular (Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Revati) but I can only feel strongly about Jyeshtha with this one. I mean Charlie Sheen...Donald Trump...even Nicki Minaj. The voices are so distinct. Even my Jyeshtha professor has a pretty distinct, raspy voice.

The way trauma has made certain aspects of my chart invisible to me. Part of what makes this practice so interesting to me is how much of my chart is waiting to be lit up by my own future. There's mysteries inside of me I haven't even met yet.

I think the last four zodiac moon signs (Cap, Pisces, Sag, and Aqua) can deal with their emotions in a very existential way. It's almost like they're thinking about their emotions in relationship to bigger/large concepts or constructs. Their perspective is already geared towards a "bigger picture" so to speak. They'll often handle their emotions in an impersonal way too. Aquarius will rationalize it, Capricorn will likely fall into pessimism or suppress it, Pisces may wallow and succumb to existential dread, Sagittarius will also intellectualize or avoid it altogether!

That's all for this round of observations! Stay tuned for the next edition.

If you ban guns on the basis that you can arbitrarily declare them a public health emergency despite the 2nd amendment (implicitly backed by the threat of "do you want multi-million dollar legal bills?"), or you issue student loan forgiveness specifically to try and get as much in as possible before courts overrule it because you pretty blatantly don't have that power, or when the Supreme Court tells your institutions to stop discriminating and you immediately talk about how you're going to work around it to discriminate...

Collapsedsquid was correct to note that part of Donald Trump's act is, "It's not me they're after, it's you; I'm just in their way," and, 'At the top, it doesn't matter what the law is, there is only power.'

If the law specified everything in minute detail, it wouldn't be law, it would be a computer program. Law depends on people not constantly trying to exploit it to the most minor detail; that allows it to be fast and light enough to be actually used.

In terms of resolving disagreements, first there is interpersonal agreement, then there is law, then there are borders, and then there is war.

If people cannot trust that getting a law will cause a matter to stay resolved, at least until there is another law, then they can't cut that issue out as a matter of their security problem; if they cannot rely on impersonal power, because the interpretation of the law will be too subjective, then they will fall back to relying on personal power.

If you issue a public health order banning all public carrying of guns, then you are not the adult in the room bravely standing up to tyranny, you are part of the Trump Show.

Michael de Adder, Washington Post :: [Robert Scott Horton]

* * * *

Letters From An American

Tonight, just before midnight, the state of Georgia indicted former president Donald J. Trump and 18 others for multiple crimes committed in that state as they tried to steal the 2020 presidential election. A special-purpose grand jury made up of citizens in Fulton County, Georgia, examined evidence and heard from 75 witnesses in the case, and issued a report in January that recommended indictments. A regular grand jury took the final report of the special grand jury into consideration and brought an indictment.

“Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost” the 2020 presidential election, the indictment reads, ”and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.”

The indictment alleges that those involved in the “criminal enterprise” “constituted a criminal organization whose members and associates engaged in various related criminal activities including, but not limited to, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, forgery, filing false documents, influencing witnesses, computer theft, computer trespass, computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, acts involving theft, and perjury.”

That is, while claiming to investigate voter fraud, they allegedly committed election fraud.

And that effort has run them afoul of a number of laws, including the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which is broader than federal anti-racketeering laws and carries a mandatory five-year prison term.

Those charged fall into several categories. Trump allies who operated out of the White House include lawyers Rudy Giuliani (who recently conceded in a lawsuit that he lied about Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss having stuffed ballot boxes), John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis, and Trump’s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Those operating in Georgia to push the scheme to manufacture a false slate of Trump electors to challenge the real Biden electors include lawyer Ray Stallings Smith III, who tried to sell the idea to legislators; Philadelphia political operative Michael Roman; former Georgia Republican chair David James Shafer, who led the fake elector meeting; and Shawn Micah Tresher Still, currently a state senator, who was the secretary of the fake elector meeting.

Those trying to intimidate election worker and witness Ruby Freeman include Stephen Cliffgard Lee, a police chaplain from Illinois; Harrison William Prescott Floyd, executive director of Black Voices for Trump; and Trevian C. Kutti, a publicist for the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

Those allegedly stealing data from the voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia, and spreading it across the country in an attempt to find weaknesses in the systems that might have opened the way to fraud include Trump lawyer Sidney Powell; former Coffee County Republican Committee chair Cathleen Alston Latham; businessman Scott Graham Hall; and Coffee County election director Misty Hampton, also known as Emily Misty Hayes.

The document also referred to 30 unindicted co-conspirators.

Trump has called the case against him in Georgia partisan and launched a series of attacks on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Today, Willis told a reporter who asked about Trump’s accusations of partisanship: “I make decisions in this office based on the facts and the law. The law is completely nonpartisan. That's how decisions are made in every case. To date, this office has indicted, since I’ve been sitting as the district attorney, over 12,000 cases. This is the eleventh RICO indictment. We follow the same process. We look at the facts. We look at the law. And we bring charges."

The defendants have until noon on August 25 to surrender themselves to authorities.

*As Fallow covers its ears, it becomes unaffected by the screaming in its pocket. It also becomes aware of the massive, 5 headed palid monster off to their right, which is still singing. Watts, of course, doesn't notice it and is still staring at the writing on his hand in confusion. The monster is advancing rapidly toward both of them, but its dark eye sockets and gaping mouth are trained on Watts. You are disturbed to see that all 5 heads are very human-like, barring the ashen white skin and lack of eyes. Watts recoils in shock at the screaming, a mixture of confusion and annoyance on his face*

[eyes widening, fallow pulls a pair of earplugs from its pocket and puts them in, then grabs Watts's hand and mimes writing on it.]

there we go, yes I did write that on your hand, now plug your ears or iium's going to start impersonating donald trump. also is there any way to turn off your antimagic field.

So apparently there is a con to having a blue check mark: if you decide to impersonate someone else, you get locked out of your account until you revert it back to your actual name and pic. CountDankula learned that when he tried to impersonate as Donald Trump yesterday. xP

Can't remember the dude that used to do that all the time, finally ended with him losing the checkmark.

I think next year I'll ask for a cameo from Anthony.... the problem is to ✨choose one fucking idea✨

I have the choice between :

-I ask him his perception of Sean, in the past he has done an "armchair diagnosis" of Donald Trump (since he used to impersonated him), and since I wonder how he sees and analyzes Sean's psychology

-I ask him what he thinks of the concept of Drag Sean and if he'd enjoy to play a drag queen

-I ask him to show us his morning routine while pretending to be Sean (I will never forget the fact that Sean uses Charmaine's foot cream)

-I ask him if Sean were a guest on his podcast "Don't Panic", what would be his answer to the questions : "What's your earliest nightmare ?" & "What is your current fear ?"

(it's easier to understand this request if you have listened to the podcast)

Topline

A Georgia judge on Friday denied bond for Harrison Floyd, the only one of 18 co-defendants in former President Donald Trump’s election interference case in Fulton County to stay in jail, and the former Black Voices for Trump leader has a history of politics and legal trouble.

Key Facts

Floyd, a 39-year-old U.S. Marine veteran, served as the director of the political group Black Voices for Trump during the 2020 election cycle, and was charged last week in the Fulton County case with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, for influencing a witness and conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements.

According to the indictment, Floyd pressured Ruby Freeman, an election worker in Fulton County, after she refused to change the results of the county’s vote in the 2020 election for Trump, with Freeman testifying before the House January 6 Committee last year that she was forced to leave her home for two months and quit her job after receiving threats after the election.

Floyd, a graduate of George Washington University, had become a prominent Republican in Georgia in recent years, running in 2019 for a Congressional seat.

Floyd dropped out of the race just over a month after announcing his candidacy, saying he “might be the guy doing this in the future,” while expressing his support for a GOP state representative in his place (Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux won the district in 2020).

In 2020, Floyd led the organization Black Voices for Trump, and also served as executive producer of right-wing outlet Bright News and as a partner at Washington D.C.-based Commonwealth International, according to his LinkedIn page.

Floyd had been charged in a separate case in May with second-degree assault and arrested for allegedly attacking an FBI agent who had served him a grand jury subpoena in the Department of Justice’s investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

According to a complaint in federal District Court in Maryland, Floyd refused to accept the subpoena, putting his finger to the face of one of two FBI agents who arrived at his residence, yelling: “You haven’t given me anything; I don’t know who the f**k you are.”

Later that night, Floyed called 911, accusing the agents of accosting him and saying: “They were lucky I didn’t have a gun on me, because I would have shot his fucking ass,” the Huffington Post reported.

Forbes has reached out to Floyd’s court-listed attorney in Maryland, Carlos Salvado—Floyd does not have an attorney listed in the Georgia case.

On Friday, Fulton County Judge Emily Richardson denied bond for Floyd after he determined he posed a flight risk and a risk to commit further criminal felonies if released on bail (Georgia state law requires defendants to be determined to pose no “significant risk of fleeing” and pose no “threat or danger to any person” or of committing a felony to be released on bail).

What To Watch For

Richardson said in her determination on Friday that the terms of Floyd’s bond “will be addressed,” but that the full terms fall on Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case. Floyd, however, has contested his bond denial, telling Richardson on Friday: “There is no way I’m a flight risk. I showed up here before the president was here.”

Tangent

Trump was indicted by a grand jury in Fulton County last week on 13 felony counts, including racketeering, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery, false statements and conspiracy to impersonate a public officer.. After just over a week, Trump surrendered to authorities in a brief procedure on Thursday, posting a $200,000 bond after giving a mug shot and his fingerprints before promptly leaving Georgia. All 18 of his co-defendants also turned themselves in by Friday, with Pastor Stephen Lee becoming the last to do so before the 12 p.m. deadline, following a group of former Trump aides and attorneys, as well as so-called fake electors in Trump’s legal team’s dubious plot to overturn the results of his election loss to President Joe Biden.

the modern transgender experience: an essay

Luka, a seventeen-year-old trans kid from Utah, quite likes his life. He has a girlfriend, supportive family, and a caring community. He plans to attend Utah Tech. Unfortunately, a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) ban for Utah minors crushes his future plans. Now, instead of preparing to graduate and begin college close to home, he must plan to uproot his life completely to continue receiving gender-affirming care “17-Year-Old Trans Kid Leaving Utah”. Unfortunately, thousands of other cases similar to Luka’s unearth across the country. From social lives to human rights, transgender people face unique challenges in modern-day America.

A majority of trans people will either experience social or medical transition, often both. Social transition includes name, pronoun, and gender presentation changes. Acceptance in a community will impact a transgender child’s mental well-being. Medical transitions include hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgeries. The specifics of transition vary from person to person. For transfems, medical transition may include estrogen and progestin hormones, breast augmentation, or vaginoplasty (constructing a vagina). For transmascs, medical transition can include testosterone hormones, mastectomy, and phalloplasty (forming a penis using skin grafts). Pre-pubescent kids may be put on puberty blockers. Accessing gender-affirming care proves difficult for many trans people. Cost is a big factor. Hormones, bought monthly for the rest of one’s life, can range from $20-400 per month. Surgeries cost up to 30k. The wait for such surgeries can take years. Many states require a therapist’s note per surgery, which can take months to acquire. According to The Trevor Project, 32% of trans kids reported their homes were affirming, while 51% reported their schools were affirming. Between non-affirming and affirming homes, 20% attempted suicide while 14% did not. 59% of transmascs, 48% of transfems, and 58% of genderqueer people have considered suicide. People of color (POC) are more likely to suffer from mental illnesses than their white peers. Trans kids who feel accepted in their homes and communities are less likely to consider or attempt suicide. Medical and social transitions are hard, but some lawmakers seek to make it harder.

Country-wide, state legislators target trans rights. In Tennessee, a bill passed to keep children out of “adult cabaret shows,” which range from strippers to “male or female impersonators.” This bill is presented as harmless and in interest of protecting minors. However, this bill reflects many laws Pre-Stonewall that targeted trans and non-conforming people, subjecting them to police brutality or oftentimes jail (history.com). It claims to only ban “sexual performances,” but in reality this law can apply to any transgender person just existing. Tennessee lawmakers also passed a bill to restrict gender-affirming care for minors, meaning any trans person under eighteen cannot receive puberty blockers, hormones, or any other affirming care. This applies to any minors currently undergoing these treatments. Utah passed a nearly identical law. In Florida, the House proposed a bill to remove trans kids from trans-affirming homes, allowing the state to seize trans kids —regardless of Florida residence— if believed they were “under threat” of trans-affirming care. This would also apply if the child’s parent was trans and medically transitioning. In Arkansas, a bill proposed would turn a trans person using their preferred bathroom into a sex crime. Countless other bills with the same theme are surfacing around the nation.

Across right-wing news outlets, transgender people are called mutilated, perverse, confused, predatory, and even accused of being groomers or rapists. Only a few months after announcing his candidacy for U.S. President in 2024, Donald Trump posted a video to Rumble and Truth Social in which he promised to “stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.” He swears, if re-elected, he will stop gender-affirming care for all minors in the United States. Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire also escalate transphobia with their constant coverage of trans issues. Both Shapiro and Walsh believe transgender people are mentally ill pedophiles who want to force their agenda onto society. Walsh has even gone so far to create a disingenuous “documentary” in which he attempts to uncover the truth about womanhood. “What is a woman?” he asks, not seeming to want an answer. In his book version of the documentary, he explains his personal definition and bases all interviews on how well they fit within the predetermined answer. “Being trans is a very quick way to being a part of the left’s coolest, latest victim class,” claims Walsh, implying transgender people are merely following a trend to “fit in.” Later on, he claims transgender people manipulate the government as a weapon against “reason”. “Trans ideologues have every intention to use the powers of the state to crush dissent because to them, dissent is illegitimate and dangerous” (Walsh, 166). According to him, “the world must contort to [their] reality.” By the end of the book, he describes the transgender “ideology” as tyrannical and evil. Shapiro follows a similar line of thinking in his own writings: “...A man claiming to be a woman is making an unsustainable claim… All of this is insane propaganda that is being propagated for political purposes” (thedailywire.com). After describing how a school did not reveal a trans middle student’s identity to their parents, Shapiro creates an adversary to attack. “To the Left, parents are the enemy… The Left, instead, wishes to teach its own version of sexual morality and gender identity to small children, without the messy intervention of parents.” Shapiro accuses trans-affirming people of tricking children into changing their gender. He uses this idea to create fear amongst those who know little about the trans movement.“The Left does not have the right to hijack the minds of children and then weaponize them against their parents… all the while pretending that such activity is actually altruism on behalf of children.” He claims “The Left” wants to brainwash children in order to gain control. In actuality, trans allies want trans kids to live comfortably and without fear. Along with Shapiro, another group of people spread disinformation about trans people.

Most rampant in the UK, but absolutely prevalent in the US, are a particular kind of transphobe: a trans-exclusionary radical feminist (Terf). Terfs are feminists who reject trans people from their cause. They claim transfems are men who want to invade women’s spaces, and claim transmascs are confused women (or, specifically, lesbians) who want to escape the patriarchy. They believe a majority of transmascs suffer from Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD). RODG claims trans kids suddenly experience overwhelming amounts of dysphoria during puberty without any prior symptoms. They attribute this to social pressure. Julia Serano, a gender studies speaker, suggests, “...The word “rapid” doesn’t necessarily refer to the speed of gender dysphoria onset, especially in the many cases where the child keeps their experiences to themselves for a time before sharing them with parents. Rather, what’s “rapid” is the parents’ sudden awareness and assessment of their child’s gender dysphoria”(juliaserano.medium.com). She also reveals the original study did not involve actual patients, but rather the parents. Another point that weakens the ROGD theory is that most cases seem to appear around puberty. Since many transgender people experience dysphoria around their biological features, many of which develop during puberty, the new changes a trans child experiences may cause discomfort. This widespread misinformation brings harm to the transgender community and inspires government officials to take action.

“There can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. It is all or nothing… transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.” Michael Knowles uttered these words in his 2023 CPAC speech, speaking an idea many lawmakers are too scared to openly admit. In an attempt to end “transgenderism,” America delves into fascism. Encyclopedia Britannica describes it as “a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.” As earlier discussed, forty-three states have proposed anti-trans bills in 2023 alone. Figures like Donald Trump and Matt Walsh incite mass panic about “transgender pedophiles” trying to “convert” children. Umberto Eco composed a list of fascism’s fourteen characteristics after growing up in Italy under Mussolini. America fits many of the described traits. The first, the cult of tradition, can be seen in the insistence to cling to the past’s ideals. There has always been man and woman, nothing more and nothing less. Secondly, America rejects modernism, dubbing strides for change as “politically correct” or “woke.” Thirdly, America urges its citizens to participate in this ‘culture war’ without thinking. Protect your values, they say. Fourth, America promotes a fear of difference. Because transgender people are “other,” they are threats. They threaten the rights and traditions of the common folk. America also appeals to a frustrated middle class, claiming to lend freedom from the tyrannical hold of the “woke mob.” Fifth, “Newspeak,” coined in George Orwell’s 1984, “makes use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning” (Eco). In America, Newspeak can be seen in right-wing’s insistence about “basic biology.” Science generally agrees that “gender and sex are related to but different from gender identity” (who.int). Transphobes claim that trans people cannot exist, because it defies biology. This argument is Newspeak because it utilizes a juvenile understanding of science to deter any further thinking. Sixth, an obsession with plot pervades right-wing talking points. They claim there is an agenda seeking to destroy family values and morality. Seventh, they treat trans people as if they are an “enemy at the same time too strong and too weak.” Trans people supposedly force the government to bend to their wills, but at the same time, will easily be squashed out. Eighth, fascists declare there is a “never ending” war against the enemy, and pacifism supports the other side. This appears in America with the “culture war” cultivated by right-wingers. It is the Family versus the Perverse. The only way to stop transgender propaganda from ruling the culture, the common folk must take a stand. As Knowles said, “...for the good of society, and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.” Ninth, machismo (anti-modernist patriarchal ideals) runs rampant, spurring disdain towards women, gender non-conforming people, and homosexuals. In 2022, abortion protections were overturned, allowing states to bar people from bodily autonomy. Online, a space nicknamed the “Manosphere,” teaches young men to embrace their violent, misogynist, and ‘traditional’ version of masculinity. Andrew Tate, a main figure within these groups, was arrested in 2022 for alleged sexual trafficking. Trans men are barred from traditional masculinity, therefore othered. Trans women are not considered real women, therefore othered. Such examples reflect the right wing’s obsession with traditional family values and disregard of women. Nine out of fourteen traits can easily be applied to America’s treatment of transgender people. Knowles gave voice to the spirit of many anti-trans bills, calling for a transgender genocide. The American Holocaust Museum states, “Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.”

America completes several of the stages before the ‘final solution’ described by The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. The first stage: classification. There is an “us” and “them.” We can see this by the polarization of transgender people. There are “normal,” cis people, and there are the “freakish” transgender people who claw for power. The second stage is symbolization. Among many transphobes, there is a stereotype of the “blue hair and pronouns” nonbinary person, the “broad-shouldered and ugly” transfem, the “confused and weak” transmasc, and many more of the othered. Thirdly, discrimination prevails as there are little protections for trans people’s jobs, safety, and healthcare on local and federal levels. The fourth stage, dehumanization, treats trans people as a contagion on society. Fifth, organization is seen through a neo-Nazi group, the Proud Boys, arming themselves outside a drag show in protest. Similar incidents occur all over the country. Sixth, the polarization of trans people creates the “fear of difference” among the common American. Gender non-conformity erases cis identity and targets confused children. The seventh stage, preparation, occurs through the anti-trans bills passing across America. The next three stages have yet to occur. Persecution, (death lists, separation, removal of children, etc) extermination (murder in a deliberate and systematic campaign of violence) and denial (perpetrators or later generations deny any wrongdoing) may be in America’s future.

The American transgender experience is heavily affected by their peers, public figures, the media, and their government. It is important that transgender people live a comfortable role in society. From bills restricting their freedom to public figures calling for their destruction, trans people struggle to find a place in American society. As Elie Weisel said in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, “I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides.” Every American should decide whether or not they stand with trans people. There is no grey area.

I squint and point into the audience

"Looks like we got the peepee poopoo brothers here with us tonight folks!"

The two Donald Trump impersonators get up and leave, their heads hung in shame. Despite it all they share a wry smile between themselves, for they know they shall partake in copious amounts of troochie* after today's events.

*Trump Coochie

[Editor's Note: We've been getting a lot of mail asking what this means, and I'd like to clarify here. You see, in this sketch the two Trump's are gay impersonators who goad leftist bears into hate-fucking them in the parking lot behind the Panera. However, on this night, their plan has backfired, and they are booed out of a live comedy performance. The "troochie" in question is actually each other's assholes, as they are both switches, or, in the parlance of the skit, "tritches"]

Ron Desantis joins Dick Cheney as a medical paradox. Cheney remained heartless despite a heart transplant. And Trump eviscerated a viscera-free DeSantis. Yet the gutless wonder persists. The tragic disembowelment was prompted by Ron’s appearance on the Thursday night edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins. DeSantis may see a warrior when he looks in the mirror, but America sees a peevish, lift-wearing, ineffectual specimen. And in his interview with the host, he only enhanced his reputation as the ‘not quite as boring as paint drying’ candidate. How this Florida man won his gubernatorial election in a walkover is another mystery offered to America by the Sunshine State. (Side note: Florida Democrats need to figure it out.) In his mind, Ron seems to be living in a fairytale world where he is the all-wise King with his devoted Queen, his heir, and two snow-white Princesses. This lack of reality allows DeSantis — when asked by Collins if he was sanding off the sharp edges and moderating his tone — to reply: “I don’t think I’ve changed. I think I am what I am. I think I’ll run the same now, like I will, next November.” It takes magical thinking for anyone to believe Ron will be running for anything next November. He went on: “But here’s the thing. I’m more reliable on policy than Donald Trump. And Republican voters, I think, are starting to see that. And we’ll show that. I’ve delivered more on American First principles than anybody in the country, and not just this most recent legislative session all through my time as governor. So, we’ll see that.” I will grant DeSantis his claim that he is more reliable on policies than Trump. But that is to damn with faint praise. A bar drunk is more reliable on policy than Trump — if you even give Trump credit for having policies. Sadly for DeSantis, if there are Republican voters who see Ron as more reliable on policy than Don, they are not telling pollsters they will be voting for him next November. In the latest 538 average of polls, Trump is running 43% points ahead of the floundering DeSantis. And even in Iowa, where Ron has bet his dwindling resources, he trails the MAGA godhead by 32% points. A smart candidate would have rolled up their sleeves and done the work to to improve their chances. But Ron, for all his Ivy League education, is not an intelligent man. Whoever wins the swing states will win the presidency. And while his anti-Disney, LGBTQ-persecuting, curriculum-whitewashing, beating up on teens, book-burning agenda is crack cocaine to the MAGAs, he is going to have to seduce independents in Michigan and Arizona. And in 2020, they showed no interest in Trumpian extremism — so why would they vote for the store brand? Worse for DeSantis were the optics of the interview. Collins assumed the alpha position as she literally looked down on him. The internet says Kaitlan is 5’ 7”. So for some reason, his handlers were OK with him sitting in a lower chair — or whatever the cause was. Ron also did his impersonation of a bobblehead doll. He needs to stop wasting money on private jets and instead hire a behavioral professional to work on that. Because the minute you see his chin yo-yoing, you cannot unsee it. DeSantis’ monotonic dullness and discomfort was meat for the Trump campaign. They lit into the sapless aspirant with joyful abandon. DeSanctus Campaign Gets Spanked on CNN “In an inexplicable decision, Ron DeSanctimonious showed up on CNN last night for an interview that turned into a microcosm of his entire campaign thus far—uninspiring, pathetic, short-sighted, and embarrassing. Things got so bad that DeSanctus bobbed his head around, nervously fidgeted, and wildly flailed his arms as he realized the interview was not what he or his team had expected. It also didn’t help that Ron was sitting so low in his chair that he resembled a child looking up at his mother as he was getting thoroughly spanked.
