I got an email that PragerU, the website where right-wing elderdouche Dennis Prager pretends to educate people, had a short video for kids: "Otto's Tales: Today Is September 11th." The goal? "To remember what happened on 9/11 and how the country came together." Let's watch.
What the hell...Otto's a person in a dog costume? To teach us about 9/11? Were puppets too subtle? What's with the crazy eyes? Otto looks like he's seen some shit.
Jill Simonian, the non-costumed host, tells Otto that it's a bit scary, but don't worry because it's really about bravery and love. Otto, as you might imagine, freaks the fuck out a bit, as he should since 9/11 is also about death, violence, war, and horror.
Jill tells Otto to "get comfy and listen," and, swear to fuck, Otto shits all over the memory of 9/11 by going to sleep. Look at this asshole give a tired stretch. And then Jill whispers so not to wake him. Sorry, don't wanna interrupt your nap there, you garbage dog.
Jill starts to read the book and...wait...is that tiny George Bush? No, it's little Dennis Prager. Fuck, that's creepy.
For context, here's actual Dennis Prager. Time has reamed that little boy.
In the story, wee Dennis is playing firefighter for him and Otto to go on their "next adventure": time traveling back to NYC on 9/11/01. Jesus, what horrors they are going to witness. Look how happy these delusional bitches are. They are about to be scarred for life.
I should mention that Otto is narrating the story. Maybe that's why he fell asleep at the beginning. "I wrote this shit," he thought. "I know what happens."
Jill reads, "Osama bin Laden was the bad man in charge.
His group called 'al Qaeda' had grown quite large."
Yeah, time to scare the shit out of the kids. I'm honestly surprised one of them isn't holding Otto's severed head.
If you've ever wondered, "How would an anthropomorphic dog and a weird man child react to 9/11?" your question has been answered.
If you're like me, you're thinking, "Wee Dennis is going to have to go into the Twin Towers to rescue people because he's a goddamn firefighter and it's 9/11. Because, otherwise, why make put him in that outfit? That'd be fucking dumb."
Instead, he and Otto nope the fuck out of there.
Seriously, at this point, the street is littered with popped corpses of people who jumped, the air is full of smoke and poison and human ashes, and this fucking little shit dog is all
They zoom to the Oval Office, in time to see George W. Bush give a speech, still fucking grinning like they're brain-damaged. Bush must have thought he was having some coke-induced flashback.
This is what a MAGA cretin sees when he drops acid.
They head to the present, and Dennis and Otto visit the 9/11 memorial and learn that "Americans came together even stronger after that terrible attack," which is fucked up from a website that has videos like "Why I Left the Left" and "Make Men Masculine Again." But, hey, freedom!
Finally, that piece of shit bitch Otto wakes up in time to salute us. Stolen valor, motherfucker!
I'd like to think that sometimes, in the middle of the night, Otto wakes up in a cold sweat, wondering what horrific events his cruel master Dennis is going to force him to witness. "Goddamn you, Dennis," he whispers to the dark, "goddamn your small, barren soul."
I guess you can watch it for yourself, if you must: prageru.com/video/storytim…

In "Try That in a Small Town," @Jason_Aldean sings, "Cuss out a cop, spit in his face...Well, try that in a small town/See how far ya make it down the road," opposing protest and violence. Except, of course, then he totally advocates for violent protest when he sings,
"Got a gun that my granddad gave me/They say one day they're gonna round up/Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck" before the threatening chorus. So, Aldean is fine with gun owners getting violent with cops if gun laws change, but also
he's apparently fine with getting violent with people who protest cops when they don't like other laws or actions. It seems that Aldean is saying that small town people are hypocritical assholes, which is actually closer to truth than he probably intended.

All of this DeSantis-is-new-Trump talk ignores one major factor in Trump's rise: A whole bunch of stupid voters liked the TV guy. DeSantis doesn't have Trump's built-in celebrity and fake billionaire rep. A lot of voters just won't give a shit about him.
To everyone saying, "Florida Republicans love him," I say, "New Jersey reelected Chris Christie and he was the media's beloved bloviator going into 2016, when he deflated quicker than a punctured yoga ball."
The last few Republicans elected president were:
A movie actor
His VP
The VP's son (who really lost)
The TV guy (who lost the popular vote)
None have been a genuine outsider like Carter, Clinton, and Obama (to an extent).
The real issue for 2024 is what happens to voting rights.

When I was a student in a public high school in south Louisiana in the 1980s, every morning we'd start in homeroom with the Pledge of Allegiance. Then a voice over the classroom speaker would tell us, "Now please remain standing for a moment of silent prayer."
I'm barely Jewish, the only one in my school, and all around me were mostly Catholics and a few various fundamentalists. They would all bow their heads and pray before making the sign of the cross.
Mostly, I would stand there awkwardly until everyone was done because even though I thought the whole exercise was dumb, I figured that it's better to pretend than to stand out. Sometimes I'd even bow my head to look like I was praying.

Lemme get this right: Because the Supreme Court decided to send abortion rights to the voters, whatever party is in charge in a state can make the laws. That's just completely dumb. Let's use Wisconsin as an example.
Wisconsin's 170 year-old abortion ban was still on the books, never removed, seemingly unnecessary to do so because Roe overruled it. Now, with a Republican majority in the legislature, the law stands, so abortion is outlawed in Wisconsin.
But Wisconsin was a blue state just a dozen years ago, with the legislature and governor all Democratic. In theory, Wisconsin could go blue again. Hell, they elected a Democratic governor.

It's fascinating how scared conservatives are at this moment of violence from the left. You go on right-wing media and they're warning everyone to be careful, that we're coming to get them. Motherfuckers, we don't shoot up places because we're pissed. That's you.
And before you "B...b...but Kavanaugh's assassination attempt" me, fuck off.
But, yeah, let them be scared for a while. One of the problems is that Democrats don't scare Republicans enough.

I've told this story before but it bears telling again: In the mid-1990s, I went to a concert headlined by folk singer Holly Near in Knoxville, TN. It was an amazing crowd of mostly women. When intermission came, I stayed in my seat. (1)
In front of me were three older women with two young women. The three older women started talking about how they were students at Kent State on May 4, 1970 and they were at the Vietnam War protest where the National Guard opened fire on the crowd, killing four.
One of the older women said, "It was so hard to get up the next morning to protest again. But knew we had to do it or else they would have won." So, she said, they supported each other and they continued to protest and march and make their voices heard. (3)
