Julia Ioffe and the "aristocrats".

She's a good woman and a great journalist. She was just forced out of her job at Politico.

I like her better than Politico, overall, but I can't attack them 100% for dropping her; they're doing so because they're afraid of the heat from her comment. Though I think her "controversial" comment is 100% true, and has been proven so by dRumpf's own statements and numerous disturbing photo-op pictures of dRumpf and daughter, and statements at joint media appearances by the pair. (I also think the same holds true with dRumpf and Omarosa. I'm not being a scandal monger, it's just my impression from watching dRumpf and the two women, over a long period of time.)

For over a year, quite a few people, both famous and plebian, have pointed out the disgusting and apparent nature of dRumpfenfuherer's relationship with his daughter. 2 months ago, I thought that it seemed like he was actually using media-megaphoned and bizarre dog whistles of incest with his daughter for propagandic ends, when he was talking about her promoting his admin's "workplace equality agendas". It was all about daunting the public, especially pro-equality people who were paying attention, it was about making peoples' minds recoil in subconscious horror. Black propaganda for drumpf and the repugs' anti-woman agenda.

The reason "The aristocrats" is such an pungent and unfunny joke, but has such a long and storied history, is because there is a historic and disgusting connection between aristocracy and incest. All aristocrats don't engage in it, but a large enough percentage did and do, because they feel like they're above the normal rules of civilized behavior, and of a divine and special bloodline. Aristocracy and incest is epitomized by the expression "blue bloods".

dRumpf is NOT an aristocrat. He's a half-assed rich guy who thinks he's an aristocrat. Like he's not a wiseguy, he's a half-assed mob kiss ass who thinks he's a wiseguy. But he's always shown he is hornier than the entire cast of characters in Mandingo. He's always shown that he'll put the move on anyone he can, anytime. He'd screw a snake if someone held its head, to put it crudely. And he styles himself an aristocrat, the same way he styles himself a goodfella. Norms and rules don't apply to him, like they don't apply to those other groups he 'wannabees' a part of, desperately.

The bizarre turn of events, here, is that we have a nazi-luving Prez-elect who sucks up to the Russian dictator, constantly tweets nazi and pro-Putin trash, and should get to keep exercising his 'free speech' twitter account rights. And we simultaneously have an anti-nazi Jewish Russian-emigree reporter who constantly exposes dRumpf's pro-nazi and putin moves, who Politico is "justified" in getting rid of, because she bluntly stated something the orange nazi himself has dog whistled about a hundred times.

Politico is fully within its rights to stop associating with Ioffe, so they don't alienate the pro-nazi, putin, and incest parts of their consumer public. Twitter is fully not within its rights to suggest that they'd curtail the pro-nazi, putin, incest advocating repug prez elect. Interesting.



So Ms. I is out of a job at Politico. I hope she gets picked up by the Nation, Teen Vogue, Daily Beast, NYT, or WaPo. Someone who has more guts and conviction than politico. She's moral, talented, and hasn't done anything wrong.

And my sig line is another tweet by Julia Ioffe, one that somehow didn't get the notice or coverage that her aristocrat tweet garnered. It's just a coincidence, I didn't post it to back her. I had it up 2 days before this story broke, easy to prove if needed.
