> [@Red\_Wiggler](#): > > Oh, it will be somber times indeed at the local diners around here Blaine, WA, which sits on the border with British Columbia, is a pretty little town where we like to eat Mexican food. Mi Esposa gets upset whenever she sees a MAGA hat in the restaurant. (I hope nobody tells them there are 😲 _Mexicans_ working there!) She also points out that the number of BFTs (Big F\_\_\_king Trucks) has increased. She said Blaine is turning Trumpy. And to be sure, our Democratic Congressman gets a lot of hate on his Facebook posts. (Nevertheless, he keeps being elected.) Your comment about the diners prompted me to reply. There’s a tiny little diner next to Drayton Harbor Oyster Company, into which we refuse to step foot. It is unwelcoming. There are MAGA decorations all over the place. Our local FB group posted a couple/few of years ago that the owner made several hateful, racist FB posts. I recall that the posts were taken down, and the owner claimed that someone had hijacked his account. (Of course he did.) [ETA: Of course someone saved a couple of images.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bellingham/comments/1pxh5wp/montes_just_a_bite/) Anyway, there will be much rejoicing… and also cries of woe. ---

There’s a sandwich shop in our town that I will not set foot in. I’ve got no problems with businesses that support conservative issues - that’s their right. But when the place names a sandwich after “the greatest president ever!”, yeah, fuck you. ---

There’s a tiny little diner > [@Dr.Winston\_OBoogie](#): > > There’s a sandwich shop in our town that I will not set foot in. I’ve got to mention our own local Ultra-MAGA restauranteur, Matthew Oliver. Rocklin is a very red town in a red CA county (Placer). Mr. Oliver manages to outdo even our staunchly MAGA denizens: rabid anti-vaxxer, “Christian” pastor of the worst anti-LGBTQ stripe, bragged of hiring a convicted Jan 6 insurrectionist at his business. An op-ed from the Sac Bee is reprinted at [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roseville/comments/1073907/a_placer_county_pastor_tried_to_bully_and_bluff/) and gives a good summary of Mr Oliver’s antics. The two City Councilmen he smeared in his 2023 campaign (Bass and Halldin) are as Trumpy as they come, but relatively sane. Luckily it seems that Oliver turned off even the far right, and he lost the election. His restaurant is still in business (sadly) but he doesn’t get much bandwidth in what passes for news around here lately. ---

Speaking of trumpist mourning after The Greatest Day in US History, I wonder whether they’ll want to drive their flag-festooned pickup trucks around with the flags fully up, or at half-staff. “Macho” and “respect” are two ideas that don’t play well together. ---

If they did either would it be legal to take pot shots at them? It sure would be gratifying either way. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Suddenly I’ll feel a change in the air. There’s a distant roar. Everyone starts talking to each other. I hear whoops and cheers, laughter and lamentation. Perhaps the sky changes color. It’s obvious something major is happening. And then I’ll know. It’s going to be magical. Kind of like the fall of Sauron. All his minions scatter and flee in terror, his works and edifices come crumbling to the ground… ---

I saw a video this week that was headlined “Did Trump almost fall over, or was that a curtsy?” In it, he’s welcoming Xi at the airport. When introduced to Mrs. Xi he definitely attempts a curtsy. That had to be AI slop, right? He didn’t really…possibly…did he? ---
