The meaning of “counter culture” changes with the era in which that term is used. I was a member of the counter culture of the late 60’s. We wore flowers in our hair, and what hair it was, everything from waist long straight hair, to cropped Twiggy hair, to huge Afro bouffants. Hair was a hit musical on Broadway.

Nowadays, counter culture isn’t about love and peace, au contraire, it’s about hating gays, women, Jews, anybody who wants to report a rape or heaven forfend, have an abortion. MAGA is the counter culture now and Donald Trump is the trust fund baby friend of the working man. If I would live to be 1,000, forget 100, I will never understand how Trump’s wretched and poor, his huddled masses yearning to breathe free, believe that he would do anything besides spit in their faces if they showed up on his doorstep, but indeed they do. And his lawyer, Alina Habba, is the newest star in the Trump firmament. I hope she had enough sense to get the cash upfront.

Terrence Williams is this generation’s Aunt Jemima? Okay. Always good to know who the players are.

Here is Habba’s first major starring gig and no I don’t know if there are tickets available. But as fate would have it, I have a lawyer acquaintance in downtown Tulare and I can call him for you. Seriously. I was thinking of calling him anyway to see what he thinks of this fiasco coming to his quiet farming town.

the tweet ends, “hallucinations of their lunacy.” But they do have “Doctor” Shari Tenpenny,  who lost her medical license after claiming that COVID-19 made the human body magnetic, among other absurd contentions. And she’ll be there with bells on as well. Will the bells stick to her? I doubt it, that would mean that she had gotten vaccinated and her breed of wingnut doesn’t believe in such things.

I guess this is the MAGA version of Men In Black. Actually, this bash in Tulare would be the perfect place for space aliens to hang out. No matter how weird they act or dress, they’ll fit right in.

Habba is a natural for Trump world. How soon before she joins the likes of Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani and other lawyers who came into Trump’s orbit and find themselves either censured, disbarred, indicted or some combination thereof?

Again, if the woman has a lick of sense, she’ll have gotten her money up front, invested it well, and have the plane gassed up and pointed towards Belize for when the right moment comes. I would have a bag packed at all time, colored contacts, wigs, fake passport and be ready to move fast.

  1. Of all the writers I follow, you are the only one to spot that! So spot on. and ive been calling the alt-right just that. I’m a decade younger than you, so I vaguely remember the 60’s, as a kid. But yes…….MAGA is today’s counter culture. Thank you for noticing that. ✅️

    • The 60’s were great. I was born in 1953, started grade school in 1959 and graduated in 1971, so the 60’s were my growing up years. Great decade to grow up. The 70’s, by contrast, was a dud of a decade.

  2. I’ve often heard it said that The USA is a classless society.

    Now I see what it means.

    The lede picture doesn’t show a ‘classy’ person.

    • Tulare is out in the boondocks. It’s interesting that they’re going there. I’m going to call up this lawyer I know there. I haven’t spoken to him in probably 20 years but I’m pretty sure he’ll remember me. Maybe he can give me his take on all these right-wing loonies coming to that little town.

  3. While Habba might have won Trump’s Ms Attorney Beauty Contest’s swim suit competition (where of course Trump would walk in the locker room to make sure everything was a-ok), she certainly didn’t place very high in the Talent Contest.

    • People theorize that she’s going to do a Kayleigh McEnany and become a talking head on right-wing media. There’s good money in that. I guess for some people, that’s the hot ticket.

  4. A friend tells me that atty Habba is letting Donnie Doll hands have access to her “briefs”. That is, when the little blue pill works. Maybe that’s why he’s paying for her to make herself look like Melania. Maybe she wants to be wife number five. Yechh, now I need to wash out my mind with bleach.

    • She would be wife number four. If that’s a role she would want. Personally, if it was me, and I think most women, take the money he’s paying and when this shit show is over, go chill in the Bahamas or whatever. I can’t see anybody sane wanting to marry Trump. Not at this point. Back when Melania married him and he had the TV show and everybody thought he was a billionaire, that was a different story. Not now.
