Zombie Albert Speer would like a word😺 "One of Speer's first commissions after Troost's death was the Zeppelinfeld stadium in Nuremberg. It was used for Nazi propaganda rallies and can be seen in Leni Riefenstahl's propaganda film Triumph of the Will."--Wikipedia

They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

I remember being totally grossed out as a teen by that end scene in The Grapes of Wrath. Even now knowing the classical allusion I still squirm and make a Mr. Yuck face😺

Welp, if being the star of Twenty Mule Team Borax's Death Valley Days or The Apprentice can get you elected President, who's to say... [suddenly I feel the need of a drink, but it's still morning here]😺

Gee, sounds like the Chinese Communist Party.

Nice analogy. Goes for assholes on backhoes hitting buried power lines, too. Also.

Yeah - it's definitely an elephant in the room, hiding in plain sight. Been awhile since I read Women's Work, time to re-read? [It's about how women's unpaid work in textile manufacture drove commerce & culture] Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years Women, Cloth, and Society in Early Times

Yes! What I see is people dissatisfied with what they perceive as their low social status getting their self-esteem juiced by mentally aligning with someone they see as rich enough to make others grovel & get away with transgressions. Better than heroin, but just as addicting.

[last comment, I swear] "It seems like everyone either takes women seriously but not markets or takes markets seriously but not women." Markets are serious if they can sell labor-saving devices like washers, dryers, vacuums, stoves, automobiles [yes, a car is more liberating to women than a bicycle]

Fab read on Women's Work is the chapters on laundresses & maids in Blair LM Kelley's "Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class." It brought to my mind an old newspaper ad displayed in our our local electric company's office suggesting men give the wife a new washing machine for Christmas.

💰Money Quote #2 "mostly women will feel the obligations to put their hopes and ambitions and income on hold because a person in the family needs care. And policy makers are blind to those off book costs and can’t actually determine if costs are being saved instead of rendered invisible."

This! Authoritarianism and misogyny, the default settings for weak low status men. Follow the Big Man to parasitize his power glow & bolster your self esteem! Swank around as a Minion! [The sad fact that some women will fuck anything - for reasons - only reinforces their delusion.]

Like, Trumpism is basically a masculinity scam as politics.

The replies expressing bafflement about how the military leans Republican and voted for Bonespurs, the senile decayed yam, despite all obvious indicators that he holds them in contempt, might consider just what aspects of their personalities & mindsets they feel are validated by GOP agitprop.

Yes. Ease of information access does not result in critical thinking. The flip side of changing your mind because you learned something is not changing your mind because you only sought out bias reinforcement.

"It's immoral to be a Republican" - too wordy?😺

I await Erik Loomis' American Grave obit on McConnell, but I doubt even he will be able to summon sufficient invective and scorn for someone who deserves a cemetary staff hired for 24/7 pissing on grave.

lol - I've read it twice. Illuminating look at a part of the world the strategic importance of which we've conveniently forgotten about.

Have been debating getting this. Let us know how it goes, OK?

I suspect Amazon will have a word about this. Possibly it's a shakedown of them?
