The wave of irrational anger sweeping parts of the nation should be very alarming. Instead celebrity racists and right wing politicians celebrate violence against an elderly man. Who, it turns out, was attacked by an illegal Canadian. Where is the outrage?

We are currently being subjected to far more ‘news’ about these guys than either deserves. They join the gallery of faces I’d rather not ever see again, right up there with Trump, Bannon, and Roger Stone. Let’s not forget Stephen Miller, self-appointed Czar of Immigration Cruelty. Or Kari Lake, the dangerous one, because she knows exactly what she is doing.

I guess my question is, what are these guys so pissed about? At least Elon smiles, but it is kind of creepy. And we hear that Kanye/Ye doesn’t like it when people imply he is mentally ill.

Maybe he should stop acting mentally ill. Or better yet, get help.

I guess humanity has always been fascinated by the shenanigans of extreme wealth and fame, and history has provided us with plenty of narcissists to fill the roles, but we have a surfeit of them right now.
