Disability Caucus Open Thread 12/31/16: Nothing 'Brings Me Joy'

Maybe my wife is correct, maybe not. My very low key personality and neurotic depression (Dysthymia) make people think I don't feel joy in anything. Give me a break. Generally speaking I don't go nuts when I see something new like, say, the new Star Trek series coming out this year. Doesn't mean I'm unexcited for the possibilities I suppose, but I'll just have to wait and see if the fact they're keeping it cbs.com exclusive will shoot it dead before it can even get off the ground.

What I Want for Christmas (Or: Shouting at Two Walls)

You know what I'd like for Christmas? For the Hillbots to shut the fuck up about imaginary Russians hacking our elections and to own up to the fact that their candidate lost in spite of all the shenanigans and repeated warnings they chose to ignore. But don't worry, I'm not leaving the Alt-Right Drumpfkopfs out of this one. Not by a long shot.

Disability Caucus Open Thread 12/8/2016: Nowhere to Go

I saw a video from Sane Progressive on how 95 million people have nowhere to go when it comes to their place in the workforce ( Link here). And boy does she have it right. Many people in this country have, quite literally, nowhere to go when it comes to finding work or carving out a living for themselves. Virtually everything is gone.

Disability Caucus Open Thread 11/12/2016: Visiting with My Mom

Let me just get this out of the way right now: My mother and her boyfriend voted for the greasy slum lord. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering there were hints this would happen before I left Facebook for good (My brother also supported Trump, but couldn't vote). Of course they both ridiculed my support and my vote for Jill Stein by saying 'Hey, good choice, but the wrong choice'.

An Honest Response to 'Honest John' RE: Police Reform

Check this guy out. He's a comic who calls himself 'Honest John' who does gigs and small time acting. He's also a Billary supporter who believes that because Trump got elected, there will never be any real police reform anytime soon.

Disability Caucus Open Thread 11/11/2016: We Don't Matter

You know, I'm tempted to punch the next person I see right in the mouth with the response to Trump's victory, but that wouldn't do any good. So I'll just explain why it is I personally don't give a damn about this.

After reading the bit about Paul Ryan wanting to pull the plug on grandma at the Orange Shitcan, I have this to say:

One More Simpsons Prediction Comes True (Make that 2, actually)

So last night, Trumpy Boy won the presidency via the electoral college (Clinton barely won the popular vote, but that didn't stop certain folks from blaming already marginalized 3rd party voters for the loss). I'd like to thank The Simpsons for predicting yet another clusterfuck in world events.

The Electoral Fingerpoke of Doom (Or maybe the D.C. Screwjob?)

You know, I keep thinking to myself about how this election is playing out like a terrible wrestling angle with swerve after swerve and a twist ending that kills the whole thing and sinks an entire wrestling promotion as a result. Case in point, the Fingerpoke of Doom:
