Wingnut Wrapup

 Yeah, time for another load of this crap.  I just want to reiterate that the right wing messaging has been so controlled by the fat Orange loser that it has become really repetitive.  It's harder than it used to be to find new insanity to report, but Green Eagle is on the job.  Now, to the "news!" Bruce Deitrick Price, American Thinker: "Normal, Healthy People Don't Want To Be Dictators" Exhibit one: But no, Bruce is talking about Joe Biden.  He wants to be a dictator just like Obama before him, and quite unlike the selfless servant of the American people who served in between. Shari Raye Update:  "Operation Trojan Seal!!!!!!!  454 Congress Arrested in Jan/Feb but MSM refused to tell Americans!" God, that only leaves only 81 left.  That's hardly enough to get MSNBC through the weekend. "Israel Did It! - The Real Origins Of The "China" Virus. (Hint: It's The Jewish Virus My Friends)" Because of course it is.  Shot down t

Report From the Ground

 From the Daily Beast:    "The Harvard Global Health Institute this week recommended a number of states, including Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Louisiana, and South Carolina, institute a mandatory stay-at-home order to curtail severe outbreaks." I'm in Georgia for work.  I've been here since last Friday.  I'm staying at a hotel, so I have to go to restaurants to eat.  I see almost nobody, in the restaurants or on the street, wearing masks.  I'm vaccinated, and I had a negative covid test last week, so I assume that I will be okay, but with the Georgia vaccination rate currently at 33%, I'm guessing most of these people can't say the same. Well, here's my message to them: Fuck off and die already, since that is apparently what you stupid suckers want.  It will be a far better country once you are gone.

They Learned Their Lesson

Image
The Republicans, I mean.  They learned that pursuing a platform of hatred, racism and violence resulted in losing the House, the Senate, and the White House. But let me go back in time to another lesson the Republicans learned, the one brought to them by Richard M. Nixon.  Not the lesson that crime doesn't pay.  Of course that never occurred to them.  No, what they learned was that racism is a mighty good substitute for integrity, and by the way, they learned never to let there ever be a single Republican Senator who would vote against the will of the party, no matter what the circumstances. Anyway, here we are at lesson time again, and once again, Republicans have learned their lesson well.  Not that a lying, bullying, criminal who lives in a world of psychotic delusions does not make a very good President.  No, what they learned was that, if cheating doesn't work, the answer is more cheating.  That's it.  It never occurred to them that it might be a good idea to do someth

Has Trump's Endless Lucky Streak Ended?

  There has never been a luckier person than Donald Trump.  Born rich, and then spending decades in a constant series of piggish, criminal and outright treasonous behavior, and never being held to account for a single bit of it.  I called it a lucky streak, but in reality it is one of his few skills- to bully and threaten people into ignoring his abominable behavior over and over again.  Well, maybe the worm is turning. On Sunday, he emerged from his self imposed semi-hiding to deliver the first of what were scheduled to be speaking performances with all the fire of his Presidential rallies- full of lies, boasting and crude insults that the press could just not resist.  But a funny thing happened.  Sure, he delivered exactly the kind of hateful performance that you would expect, but as far as I can tell, two thirds of all the coverage of his appearance was about the ludicrous fit of his pants.  This is a humiliation of the sort that has ended the career of many public figures.  It won&

The Only Thing that Matters

Democrats had better damned well figure out that at the present time there is only one issue that they must immediately deal with.  And it is this: right now, as we allow ourselves to be distracted by a dozen important but secondary problems, a significant portion of the right in this country is actively planning to destroy our government and replace it with a fascist dictatorship, led by the worst, most criminal President the country has ever seen.   It has been obvious since the time of Reagan that the Republican party, realizing the demographic tsunami it faced, was determined to institute one party rule in this country.  Every thing they have done since has been in pursuit of that goal, and sad to say, Democrats were in such a state of denial that Republicans have moved ever closer to that goal.  Unfortunately for them, the con man of the century managed to seize control of their party, and in his insane lust for power, made the move to end our two century democratic experiment bef

 First, let's start out with a really bizarre example of right wing fantasy, attacking an unexpected subject, and showing just how little you have to do, or not do, to incur the wrath of the mighty ruler Trump: "Military Puts SCJ Amy Coney Barrett on House Arrest...to ensure she does not abscond while JAG decides whether to show compassion or schedule a military tribunal." Because "absconding" is the sort of behavior one expects from Supreme Court Justices, particularly ones you appointed yourself. "On April 15, U.S. Navy JAG and Army CID investigators visited Barrett’s D.C. home...when investigators told Barrett that the Insurrection Act of 1807, which Donald J. Trump invoked before leaving office..." Of course he did. "...empowered them to detain or arrest citizens who stand accused of treason or present a threat to national security.  When told that she was the target of the military’s investigation, Barrett turned belligerent and said she did
