I wish the late Trump shill and confuser of reality and fiction Hulk “not really his name” Hogan could have lived to see this, as he famously appeared in a storyline wherein he REFUSED to sell the World Wrestling Federation championship to the “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, who then rigged a championship match against Andre the Giant and then bought the belt off of Andre instead.

there is, shockingly, video of this happening! youtu.be/zIE8XvGVMbg?… most striking, to me, at the end the VIRTUOUS Hogan ATTACKS the presumed corrupt or worse incompetent federation referee who officiated the crooked match so that he can also attack DiBiase and try to reclaim the belt by force. Also shocking, “Mean Gene” Okerlund somehow knew exactly what Andre the Giant was saying into the microphone despite it being totally unintelligible, as if they had a script and had rehearsed it beforehand or something.

Frustrating, my relation who was trump trump trump for maybe ten solid years has gone totally silent about that and is now all comedy all the time. I think he is funny in person but tends to seem forced in his desire to “go viral” and insistence that he has done so in the past. And fake-watching my instagram accounts with his new comedy ONLY accounts without expressing any remorse or contrition for voting for this guy twice (in 2016 I believe he voted for Gary Johnson but didn’t mind Trump winning) or trying to make sure everyone else he knew did and abusing them if they criticized it. That is better than doubling tripling and quadrupling down like the actual elected officials have done but still not improving anything. Then YESTERDAY he celebrated the million dollar DiBiase’s apparent birthday by dressing up like him for some facebook pictures, since that is a comical looking person i suppose and i have heard that an elderly aunt of ours commented to ask if he was supposed to be a leprechaun but all his comedy references are 1980s wrestling or The Sopranos, which function as amoral testosterone fantasies perpetually suspended in another time. He hides from popular culture harder than I do despite embracing the obnoxious attitudes and customs of endlessly self-promoting social media troglodytes. And he DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE that I made nearly this same million dollar man themed post also on facebook the day before. ALTHOUGH facebook also scans everything with ai trash and undoubtedly suppresses anything with a negative tone. EVEN THOUGH I started the post with “i wish” which I might have thought seemed optimistic. ALTHOUGHer I hardly know anybody on facebook and still barely see anyone’s posts, and he knows thousands or billions of people and probably sees even fewer people’s posts. *I* see *HIS* posts lately because i am checking to see what he thinks about ice murdering people just for making them mad or president screwball trying to declare war on denmark because he believes greenland is as big as it looks on a mercator projection but, topics like this are just not mentioned at all now. Which i SUPPOSE is better than outwardly approving and this isn’t the sort of person to silently approve, but he has also never apologized for anything wrong he ever did either, that I can remember. Whereas every day i am dwelling about something horrible i did before and wondering if i should try and amend it, if i can, which i generally cannot.

Apparently this sort of thing is “normal” which I should be glad about after him only taking cues from Alex Jones for so long, but since Alex Jones has passed from fringe to normalcy, GOP sociopathy is also normal despite the sociopathy being at a hundred year high, and most who voted for them before will vote for them again and passionless ghouls with no long term memory never fail to find themselves “on the fence” I am not glad at all!

another hogany loose end that i apparently posted about in july and never thought to mention here but now is effective for an intermission between tiresome trump stuffs:

excuse me her name is NOT “Linda Hogan.” Hogan is a fake name given to Terry specifically in 1979 because Vince McMahon Sr. wanted an Irish wrestler and so the next wrestler he saw became Irish. Quite odd that the McMahons have naming authority over the offspring and spouses of wrestlers even after their divorces and after those wrestlers are dead, and that this article points out Terry’s real name but not Linda’s.

that being “Claridge.” although wikehhhpedia gives “Linda Hogan” as her primary name, it also indicates that despite a 1983 marriage to the wrestler called but never legally named and thus never legally married as Hogan, nobody called Linda “Hogan” until 2005, and that she was divorced in 2009. So she “was” really only Linda Hogan for four years at most. Certainly far longer than I was ever Linda Hogan but still only a tiny fraction of her life time.

also on dumb websites i have dwelled on having a different person’s approval and I should not. Apart from some subjective gripes, i have noticed that just like my semi-fascist brothers he never regrets anything. Also he celebrated when charlie kirk was murdered. I am not and was not sad that Kirk is dead but killing him accomplished nothing positive because he is exactly like billions of other smug entitled jerk bullies across time and space, and murdering him only convinces his followers more that they are right. President Trumpo though is singular. He is not a true conservative. Conservatives live foremost to follow instructions from presumed higher powers, who can at best aspire to be popes of wealthy racist misogynist crumbaggery. Trump believes himself to BE the higher power. I at one time worried about JD Vance taking over if Trump became dead, ideally from natural causes or at least unnatural causes of his own creation, falling down stairs, getting hit in the head by a golf ball, trying to eat a box of gold nuggets, like that. But Vance is at worst a nazist like we have seen before who at least believes in something, even it is only obeying a vengeful death god.

Trump is more like an evil jester from a video game (i think all the evil jesters I have seen have been from video games). It isn’t clear what he believes in or if he believes in anything at all because his announcements make no sense and don’t consider reality. And true conservatives obey him just because obeying is what they do, which is the ultimate danger of someone like trump being in charge. Even when the cronies knowingly feed their master false information about the world they still obey his warped orders that are based on information that they knew to be false before they gave it. They are morons or are malicious but they are utterly uncreative and terrified of doing anything that hasn’t been done before; that is why they love AI-generation and sequels so much. Trump isn’t creative but he has a Yogi Berra like ability to say something stupid in a profound way that nobody else would but hasn’t been adequately conditioned to realize it is stupid, even if for a few decades it seemed like he was willing to be depicted as foolish if it got him on television; he surely already had cronies then lying to him about how he was perceived. eh uh this is nothing new but i need to type it in a box like this to restrain it elsewhere. That is also nothing new! I may be too old to do new and good things. Fortunately i will never be in government.
