Terrorist Update for Today

And yes, it is getting to be a daily thing.  Nice country we live in here.  Actually, there are two things to report today:

First, someone doesn't like Jerry Brown:



Terrorist threats to murder California Governor Jerry Brown are being taken very seriously by the police.

"Cpl. Anthony Bertagna, spokesman for the Santa Ana Police Department, said one of the messages read, "we gonna kill Gov. Brown 2/14/11."  The other said "27 more days 4 Brown" and included a swastika."

I'm sure we will be reading any day now at right wing blogs how this is the work of liberals too.

And second, today is the start of the murder trial in Tucson of Shawna Forde.  Remember her?



Don't mess with this mama. She is the white supremacist, anti-immigrant racist who led a minuteman group which attacked a house they believed to be inhabited by a Hispanic drug dealer.  Oops, wrong house...however they did succeed in murdering a totally innocent man and his nine year old daughter, in a spectacular example of justice, right wing style.

A couple of remarks from Shawna's fellow racists:

"This is not what Minutemen do," said member Chuck Stonex"

Sorry Chuck...apparently it is.

And this amusing article:

"11 Reasons Why Shawna Forde Can't Get a Fair Trial in Pima County (Tucson)
 1. Pima County is a satellite of Mexico"

Honestly, I don't think we need to cover the other ten reasons.

It is also reported that Shawna has filed a complaint with the ACLU.  You've just got to laugh.

I hadn't previously heard of the Forde case... shocking.

You might want to add the pic of the victims from the Wikipedia page. Ask your trolls to look into the eyes of that little girl and say "yes a country awash with guns run by the Right is just dandy".

And why isn't this all front page news?
Don't bother answering - the question is rhetorical.

The national 'media' seems to have thrown this crime down the memory hole

Gee, I wonder if a Reich Winger would be clever enough to frame hatred in fake ebonics? Nah, they never race bait, do they?

Can't be true. They are all white people and white people are the victims of racism. Haven't they told you that often enough for you to believe it? What kind of patriot are you?

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
