The Alt-Right seethes at a video game

As you know, I like to play video games.  Two were just recently released and I bought them both.  One of them, Wolfenstein 2, The New Colossus is apparently pissing people off.  Well, let me correct myself, that's way too general.  To be more specific, it's pissing off the Alt-Right, Neo-Nazis, and white supremacists, not necessarily in that particular order.  That's right, a video game set in an alternative universe, in a universe in which the Nazi's won WW II, in which the protagonist's main goal is to kill Nazis and destroy their world order, has gotten their dander up.  Wolfenstein 2 is a game about resistance and rebellion, and it's bloody as hell (rate M for Mature for violence).  They don't like that people might have fun killing subversives, especially when those subversives are defined as being Nazis.  They don't want their hate being snuffed out in a shrieking stream of a machine gun fire by a black woman (yep, there's a black woman, and she's a damn good Nazi killer).  Even The Guardian is drawing attention to their outrage, surprised by their outcry.  We all know this wouldn't have happened before the Idiot Jerk in the White House managed to get himself elected.  Here's a review of the game by Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

I got a call from Greenfield last evening to tell me they were sending my Mom to the hospital; they thought she might be having a heart attack.  Well, she had nausea... that's it, and now she's in the hospital and they can't find anything wrong.  She's an 84 year old woman with dementia, whose body is slowly falling apart.  I'm convinced Greenfield is much more concerned about their liability than about my Mom's health.  Every 5 - 6 weeks she gets sick and they call 911.  About 20 minutes after her episode starts, it ends, and she's fine.  My brother rushed to the hospital last night just in case, and he sends me a text:  "she's fine and chatty."  So why didn't Greenfield wait before calling the EMT's?  They're worried as hell about getting sued.
Oh, and tomorrow is going to be the day that Mueller announces the first indictment of the Russian Probe.  My money says that the Idiot Jerk in the White House is foaming at the mouth knowing he might have to shit out one of his ass kissing sycophants, let alone acknowledge collusion between his campaign and the Russians... wait a minute... did I say acknowledge?  Boy, am I being silly.

Anticipating Trump

Well, it's Thursday, and I don't work, so I'm happy, of course I have a thousand things which need to be completed, but still, for the most part, I'm happy.  Tomorrow, however, is not just another day.  Tomorrow Trump, unless he decides to do it earlier then anticipated, will release the name of his choice for VP.  And there is a lot of anticipation going on, believe me.  That name is important on so many levels.  Old school Republicans wan tit to be someone who might help to unite the party.  Those Independents who are not so hot for Hillary are hoping Trump will pick someone with more moderate views.  The white supremacists are hoping for someone with neo-Nazi leanings.  And, the Trumplodites?  Well they don't really care... however they should because there are all sorts of rumors flying around.  There are whispers saying all Trump really wants to do is win the election, that at 70 he doesn't really want to be president, and so he'll resign after his inauguration and the country will be stuck with his VP choice.  that would really piss off his Trumplodites, but do you think he really cares about them?  Not in the least.

Which is really sad.  All of their small little minds are telling their small little hearts that he is going to make America great again... for them.  He doesn't really care about them; they're just votes.  I was talking to our Enhance Contractor, Kenny, the other day and he's rabidly anti-Trump.  He said that one of the reasons Trump got to be so rich was by shitting on the independent contractors he used; let them do the work and not pay them, claiming their work was shoddy.  Evidently there are something like 4000 lawsuits filed against Trump by these contractors.  You see, they did what Trump wanted them to do, and then he shit on them.  That's what he's going to do to his Trumplodites, use them and then dump them.  Which is why his VP selection is so important.  His fan base might be answering to someone other than their idol.  They might have to deal with an individual who sees them as nothing more than white trash.
