[Now that the impeachment kabuki has ended, the Senate trial will begin.  But before that can proceed, Pelosi will try to squeeze some more preconditions out of McConnell before forwarding the House’s articles of impeachment.  The cynical humor of the whole process goes on with Democrats continuing to accuse Republicans of unfairness along every step of the way, paying no never mind to having conducted the most blatantly partisan, unfair, and corrupt congressional circus in Congress’s long history.  But the real story is again the ever-widening chasm between what now clearly are two Americas attempting to share the same government and territory while holding diametrically opposite worldviews and objectives.  gjr]

    Merry Christmas from the Trump campaign –
    President Trump’s reelection campaign launched a website on Christmas Eve that guides supporters through ways to win arguments “with your liberal relatives” just in time for the holidays.
    The website, named “Snowflake Victory,” is meant to help Trump allies “win arguments with liberal friends, relatives, and snowflakes they encounter during the holidays,” according to the website.
    “We’ve all seen the news articles about liberal snowflakes being afraid to see their MAGA
    relatives at Christmas or holiday gatherings, so the Trump campaign wants people to be ready,” Kayleigh McEnany, Trump campaign national press secretary said in a statement to CBS News.
    “We’re not helping snowflakes avoid arguments – we’re helping Trump supporters win them! As 2019 draws to a close and 2020 approaches, President Trump and Americans are going to be winning, winning, and winning, and then winning some more!” McEnany added.

    Walt. It has been going on for a few days. My wife actually has the USGS alerts on her phone. Geology nerd. Lol. For every ten 5.0s expect one 6.0. For every ten 6.0s expect a 7.0. These numbers are big and scary.

    Kinda like how Japan does it. (Still takes just as long as here in the U.S.)
    “Executions are carried out in high secrecy where prisoners are not informed of their fate until the morning they are hanged. ”

    Sure keeps the anxiety down.

    Broken record time!
    WORST OF THE DECADE: Trump Derangement Syndrome
    Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler and Now Trump! “Sociopathic” Trump is “Stain” that Needs Removing, “Unfit to Be Human” Trump’s Awfulness Justifies Our Bias. Stunned by Trump’s Anti-Semitic “Neo-Nazi” Ways. Trump Turning U.S. into Nazi Germany. Hate is on the ballot and much more.

    THE CRAZY CHRONICLES (2)
    • This installment of our Crazy Chronicles begins with the always reliable Amanda Marcotte of Salon, who believes that “Hallmark movies are fascist propaganda.” No, really—that’s what she thinks:
    “Running down this year’s schedule of Christmas movie offerings is like a trip into an uncanny valley of shiny-teethed, blow-dried heteronormative whiteness, with only a few token movies with characters of color. It’s like watching “The Stepford Wives,” but scarier, since the evil plot to replace normal people with robots is never actually revealed. None of this should be a surprise, because Hallmark movies, as cloying and saccharine as they are, constitute the platonic ideal of fascist propaganda. . .
    . . . even in Nazi Germany, the majority of movies approved by the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, were escapist and feather-light, with a Hallmark movie-style emphasis on the importance of “normality.”
    The whole thing offers more of this kind of rarified satire of leftist mind (you’d almost suspect it to be a hoax . . . almost), but deserves a reprise of one of last week’s memes….
    • But if you think Hallmark movies are evil, the New York Times is handy to instruct us that “We Can’t See ‘Star Wars’ Anymore.” It’s not worth reading this overlong lugubrious piece, but here’s a highlight……
    “By the time James Cameron’s “Avatar” made this allegory painfully overt, it felt uncomfortably weird watching American audiences cheer fantasies of indigenous peoples defeating capitalist invaders bent on exploiting their resources, even as our own battle droids were blowing up insurgents in oil-rich Iraq. You could imagine Al Qaeda or Timothy McVeigh identifying with Luke blowing up the Death Star — plucky underdogs destroying symbols of invincible power with dollar-store equipment and an audacious, suicidal plan. How did we end up on the wrong side of this story?”
    “The New Republic stamps its feet and declares that “Facebook is a Right-Wing Company.” It’s really just an extended attack on Peter Thiel, but Zuckerberg becomes an Emanuel Goldstein hate-figure, too:”
