Everything learns
I don’t think it’s true that the orange baby isn’t rational. The problem it has is what it has experienced its whole life and career: getting away with everything it tried, no matter what. In some way you could look at it (the o.b.) as simply a statistical outlier, like an astonishingly lengthy string of Continue reading

Time to do better
The US is not going back to the way we were. And good riddance, in my view. Without meaning to, American society and business practices have become a means of enriching and aggrandizing despicable people. This is not entirely new, but it seems to me that it’s more common and systemic now. There is not Continue reading

It doesn’t care, except about power
The orange baby just launched a war it won’t explain. None of the lickspittles in its cabal will explain it either. Here’s a possibility. The premises: • Americans are coming to despise the orange baby, its pretend government, and its policies. • The orange baby knows this, even though what it says is, as usual, Continue reading

Distracted yet?
The orange baby will do anything, kill anybody, to save itself. It deserves at least to be in prison, and it knows it. Cue clips of it admitting it’s “not getting into heaven.” Of course, it’s only ever pretended to care about religion, and it probably doesn’t believe in heaven at all. Look at what’s Continue reading

Decline and fall
This is a different sort of essay. Instead of just writing and posting and that’s it, I’m adding to it daily as I find more and more evidence that the United States I grew up in is done, gone, and replaced by a thuggish, fractured, immoral and criminal rogue society. For most of my life, Continue reading

Are they liars, or just stupid?
One thing I’ve found you can safely assume about virtually anything committed right-wingers say is that it’s not true. Doesn’t match reality that you can quite often check easily. Which they never do. Another twist when they’re in charge of something is keeping secrets about things they do wrong. What I don’t know for sure Continue reading

ICYMI
Every once in a while the nonstop liars tell the truth — and sometimes about their lies. Way back in 2024, JD Vance openly admitted that he made up lies about Haitian immigrants, even though his lies led to violence and injuries. “…he wasn’t going to stop repeating his false narrative just because his words Continue reading

Traitors gonna traitor
The violent counterrevolutionaries who injured, killed, and caused millions of dollars worth of damage to the US capitol building during the January 6 attempted coup not only got pardoned by the traitorous orange baby. Now they’re trying to get their various fines refunded. These are the misguided, seditious assholes who actually should be deported and Continue reading

“Two Weeks” again
Now the orange baby says it will sue JP Morgan Chase for closing one of its accounts a few years ago. It’s claiming to have been “de-banked” as a result of its attempted Jan 6 coup. The whole thing is nonsense, just more deflection. They didn’t even “de-bank” Epstein. Oh, remember him? You’re not supposed Continue reading

Is it simpler than it seems?
It seems like there are so many reasons for the decline and fall of the United States. But I keep wondering if it mostly comes down to one thing: the decades-long dismantling of public education, and of education in general. The people in the current cadre are not deep thinkers, with only (maybe) a couple Continue reading
About Me
I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. I shouldn’t be surprised, but she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
Check out my other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity.
