The bill requires any reference to the EEZ in law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the U.S. to be named the “Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.”
They’re going to need a yuuuge box of Sharpies to doodle “DJTEEZ” on all those maps and stuff.
It always has to be shoved in their faces that the character they thought was the hero was meant to be the villain. Sometimes even that doesn’t help, as in the case of this “hero”:
Good Lord! I only watched the first couple episodes of season one, and it was already obvious Homelander was not a good guy, and was an egotistic asshole at every opportunity. How the hell could these guys (probably mostly guys, anyway) miss this, I have no clue.
I can’t recommend the movie because of its violence and what I saw as some cartoonishly racist black and Korean caricatures. I think it also lends itself too readily to white MRA victimization fantasies, however ambiguous its message supposedly is.
When one is an unsuccessful schmo who’s bitter about “undeserving” others enjoying the happiness to which one thinks one is entitled as a cis-het white male, a character – fictional or real – who takes license to be a raging arsehole becomes a heroic aspirational figure to one.
These petty men are the support base of MAGA and other fascist movements.
When I saw the ‘you are mere cannon fodder for my cause’ scene, I actively wondered: “Is this the moment when they finally see the writing on the blood spattered wall?”
That it needs to be their own blood (metaphorically speaking) is sadly not surprising.
I mean, two seasons ago, Homelander was all into “Nazi Bae”, and they still didn’t get the fucking message…
Morrissey later apologized to Carroll during a subsequent meeting and claimed that she didn’t know the bag belonged to him.
According to Carroll, Morrissey initially said that she “flicked” water on the bag because she saw a bug on it. But she later added that she didn’t know why she decided to dump water on Carroll’s bag for months on end.
Okay, let’s believe that she didn’t know who’s bag it was when she “flicked” water in it…to drive away a bug. Would she be happy if someone did the same thing with her purse or backpack?
“At the end of the meeting, I looked at her and said, ‘You know, this has really fucked me up.’ There were weeks when I didn’t know who was doing this or why,” Carroll said.
“I walked around this place, paranoid of my fellow legislators, racking my brain trying to think, ‘What could I have possibly said or done?’”
Carroll said that he was still weighing whether he should pursue charges against Morrissey for the harassment.
As for whether he forgives Morrissey, Carroll said: “I guess I would have to say yes in the spirit of forgiveness, reluctantly. But if I had to be a smartass, I’d say her apology holds about as much water as my canvas bag.”
