welcome
Our goal is to pay attention to the chaos of trump 2.0, make sense of it to the best of our abilities… and document what we believe are important facts, mis-disinformation, myths, and the occasional truth.
We will be posting up links to the the daily events catching our attention.
Every day will have links to news articles, memes because we’re living in a meme-rich world, and video links featuring newsmakers, comedians, podcasts, movies and more.
You’ll also be seeing some of the conversations from our web forum which we – somewhat immodestly – believe will add context & analysis for you to peruse & consider.
We are summarizing the days of each week into a narrative storyline which will connect the weeks together to better tell the unfolding stories.
We hope you find any given day and any given week – out of the 100’s yet to be – to be informative and entertaining.
I Observe a Lingering Frost Ahead
The button below is a link to Week 001 of our still evolving “weekly recap” pages where we’ll be aggregating each week that was.
We hope to catch-up soon.
The button below is a link to “J20 Day 0001” to be followed by the “day after day” of trump 2.0.
We’re way behind and will always be so.
The button below is a link to our still evolving “button page” providing direct access to every day and every week of trump 2.0.
We’re way behind and will always be so.
A Few Housekeeping Notes:
*) Only the DAYS and WEEKS which have been transcribed + the buttons scheduled for data transcription are active.
*) Eventually + assuming Trump will ever grant a “peaceful transfer of power” to a fairly & legitimately elected successor, you will see 16 fully populated 12 week button pages, followed by button page 17 covering the final 16 weeks.
*) These pages will encompass and mark four full years – 208 weeks – of the Trump presidency.
*) Currently, we’re running behind; however, we hope to catch up with the calendar sometime in the next coupla-three months. For us, time isn’t of the essence; our goal is to provide – along with other intrepid souls scattered about in the web-o-verse – a unique POV capturing the historically significant antics and anticipated chaos of a wannabe + may-well-someday become an officially minted authoritarian autocrat.
*) FWIW, the idea of 208 weeks is exhausting.
*) This website should display OK on all laptops and tablets; however, phones browsers will need to be set to desktop view to be seen OK-ish.
*) These “housekeeping notes” will also be evolving.
GOOD TO KNOW STUFF:
We are members of an elite HI-Q society.
In and of itself, this means next to nothing; however, we hope it’s enough to encourage you to visit + be entertained over the coming weeks, months & years.
This is a group effort; however + fundamentally, this is my anonymous blog.
I initiated a topic in our online forum titled, “trump 2.0: buckle up” a few days after the election. My intention was to capture our pre-inauguration expectations and anxieties; then, starting on J20, my self-assigned task is to create and maintain a “dear diary” covering the day-in & day-out reality of “trump 2.0” as seen, understood, and commented on by our intrepid band of life travelers who, as a group, score exceptionally well on a bunch of standardized and psychometricinized* tests.
(* I made up a word… it’ll happen now & again.)
On more than a few occasions, it has been made abundantly clear to me that autocratic, authoritarian leaders thrive & survive in a world of perpetual chaos… and that one of the things known to provide relief from the relentless onslaught of shit flying off of the fan blades are the journal & diary accounts maintained by folks willing to pay attention to the mindboggling events as they happen.
I know and trust there are others – out there in the web-o-verse – doing this same task for this same reason.
Starting on day one – J20 0001 – I changed the loose context of our thread into a daily account of what happens on each & every day – the news stories, opinion pieces, memes and photographs as posted by our members. In addition, I am now & will, for the foreseeable future, be providing paraphrased + summarized versions of all of our comments, opinions & observations made by our members.
This last bit of info is to inform you I don’t have permission from anyone to quote them… yet.
Further, the dates when posts showed up on the website will, whenever possible, be moved around to different days so as to prevent anyone from tracking and/or analyzing derived + all sorts of metadata data-mining which might identify the source of the content and/or be used to identify any of the names & faces who are, to date + unknowingly, playing a part in this story.
YADA YADA YADA… for now… as of 3/01/2025
