Sign hung from a dorm window at New York University shortly after the 1970 shootings of students at Kent State and Jackson State universities. Originally a message to Richard Nixon and the national guard at the time, it could just as easily have been directed to Hitler 35 years earlier or to Donald Trump and his fellow white supremacists 50 years later.

“Commit adultery on his beautiful, classy wife.”

—Response of “Rosie” at Trump’s Tulsa rally Saturday when asked if there was anything Trump could do to lose her support.

“That was years ago before he ever became president. Nobody is accountable for what he done when he was a lot younger.”

—“Rosie,” stretching logic to its absolute limits when reminded of the Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal affairs. [Well, “Rosie,” we’re “riveted” by your ability to rationalize your unquestioning loyalty.]

“Because of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, 2020 will be the most RIGGED Election in our nations (sic) history — unless this stupidity is ended.”

“MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!”

—Donald Trump tweets on Monday in opposition to mail-in ballots. [Obviously, no one has told him that using all caps is like shouting and no one likes to be yelled at. And just what does “and others” even mean?]

“We’ve never had an empty seat, and we certainly won’t in Oklahoma.”

—Donald Trump, on Friday, in breathless anticipation of his Tulsa rally.

“My father’s rally just ignited a passion for our America First movement — the likes of which I have never seen before. That’s why Republican Whip Steve Scalise and I are teaming up to offer ALL PATRIOTS a 500% match to stand with the President.”

—Donald Trump Jr. in a shameless email solicitation for contributions that popped up in my in-box this morning. [“Never seen before”? Donnie, you’re whistling past the graveyard in using Tulsa as your launch pad—and voters in Louisiana’s 1^st Congressional District should remember Scalise’s fealty to Trump on Nov. 3.

“There is not a more successful political strategy in the history of American politics than the southern strategy, this ideal of pitting poor whites against African Americans and tribalizing our politics. When Trump says he’s going to give you back your country, he’s playing to that racial animosity and fear.”

—Cornell Belcher, a Democratic pollster, on Trump’s effort to build support among his white middle class base by pitting whites against African Americans and Hispanics.

“I think you have a lot of people out there who should have been more aware of what was happening around them, the systemic racism that exists in this country. I think those white, suburban, independent women are a vital swing vote, and I don’t think they are going to like what they’re hearing.”

—Christina Reynolds, vice president of communications at Emily’s List, on how moderate suburban women have begun to question what they understood about race and racism four years ago.

Be a walking billboard for real democracy and freedom in America: order your guaranteed cure for MAGAVID-20, the dreaded plague of trumpcorruptavirus that has infected our great land for nearly four years. Act now, before it’s too late. Take advantage of this special offer.

At last the long-awaited NOPE T-shirts and anti-MAGAVID-20 facemasks are available from LouisianaVoice.

Guaranteed to start meaningful dialog and thoughtful philosophical exchanges with pro-Trumpers, you can order your T-shirts and/or masks by clicking on the yellow button (it looks like this):  in the column to the right of this post (this one shown here won’t work—you have to use the one below right) and paying the appropriate amount by credit card.

IMPORTANT: BE SURE TO PROVIDE

• YOUR MAILING ADDRESS WITH YOUR ORDER;
• QUANTITY OF EACH ITEM ORDERED;
• SIZE OF EACH ITEM ORDERED (WHEN ORDERING THE SHIRTS).

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE “DONATE” BUTTON (AS SOME HAVE), USE SNAIL MAIL by sending your check to LouisianaVoice, P.O. Box 922, Denham Springs, LA. 70727.

Here’s what they look like: NOPE SHIRTS AND MASKS (there are two pages, so be sure to scroll down to see both products.)

Note the lifelike orange (for the shirts; yellow for the facemasks) coiffure at the top of the word Nope; it’s the same color as the Liar-in-Chief’s toupee (depending on how the light catches it) and then there’s the crowning touch: the long, flowing red tie—just like the ones worn by The Tangerine Toddler. (Sorry, no little hands.)

The shirts are $18.99 for sizes Small, Medium, Large and XL. 2XLs are $21.99 and 3XL are $23.99.

That’s considerably less than what you’ll pay for equivalent shirts elsewhere.

The prices for the masks are as follows:

1 Mask: $9.00

3 Masks: $24.00

5 Masks: $36.00

10 Masks: $66.00

20 Masks: $120.00

[If you need more than 20 masks, you have way more friends than I do, but let me know and we’ll work something out. Get your order in today. It’s the only proven antidote to the dreaded MAGAVID-20 virus.
