What Happened to the Right Wing Day of Rage?

 This was supposed to be the day when wingnut Patriots would rain down their fury on all fifty State capitols.  


As far as I can tell, they all stayed home and just took a couple extra oxy's instead.


That's your right wing threat.

Update: Some more comment on this subject from my go-to guy on the subject, Dave Niewert, at Daily Kos:


"Not a single person shows up for ‘Million Militia March,’ and state-capital protests fail badly too...


All of the various right-wing “Million”-themed marches that have been organized over the past several years (such as December’s “Million MAGA March”) have fallen well short of the million people they claimed to rally—usually, they number at best in the tens of thousands. But Sunday’s planned “Million Militia March” was a failure of truly epic proportions: It seems no one showed up to march. Not a soul...The situation at most state capitals was roughly the same, despite the plans announced by angry MAGA fans during the week before"


The lesson we can take from this?  These treasonous bastards can be a truly great threat to everything this nation is supposed to stand for, as they proved on January 6th, but at the same time we cannot forget that they are mostly just a bunch of stupid, ignorant jerks who can be counted on to fail and make total fools of themselves at 99% of everything they try to do. How many "million man marches" on the Capitol that end up with about 200 in attendance after massive free promotion from Fox News, right wing hate radio etc. do we have to see before people put this in perspective?  Yes, they are capable of some really hateful violence, and will probably occasionally come through on their threats in the future, but in general they are a pack of suckers being manipulated by rich sociopaths, like the dumb thugs that every movie villain seems to prefer as his tools.  And we all know where those guys end up- in the wood chipper.

And like all bullies, they are totally overwhelmed whenever a bigger bully comes along. And that is really the story of Trump. Of course, when that bigger bully himself is revealed to also be a sniveling coward, they turn on him like sharks in bloody water. That's why I expect a lot of these people to suddenly "remember" in the coming months that they always hated Trump and never supported him for an instance.

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.

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 ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

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...
