Hear, hear. On the bright side, there's nothing like causing a blackout of several days' duration, that impacts thousands of people, as well as laser-focusing on Hunter Biden's laptop, to make the normies come around to the GOP in 2024.
Rightwing fascism: learn nothing, can never fail, can only BE failed.
I'm not holding my breath for the regular media to finally start reporting that one of our only two political parties has decided to end the American experiment; to simply discard our entire form of government and install Trump as dictator for life.
No, we'll be treated to endless stories about how Trump might be making extremist-sounding noises, but what about . . . And stories about how surely when Republicans say "do away with the Constitution" they don't mean "do away with the Constitution."
At the least, if we don't know that some sort of hateful right wing domestic terrorists shot up the stations, one can cop that with what's in the air is in the fair (I think there's a French term but I don't know French), shooting shit up for no better reason than to shoot shit up is in fact connected. Like, the theme is correct even if the details fail.
As for an adherence to accuracy, I dunno, when one's dealing with fabulists and believers in Democrat pizza parlor pedophiles how much accuracy's needed past a point?
Anyway, a PSA. I read this over the weekend and thought it awfully close to being an Edroso satire except it was, you know, like 100% factual instead of a parody in any sense of the term, so with today's serious post, here's some laughs before it brings you to tears:
All adherents of the MAGAt/Christian Right/neonazi faction of the Republican Party — and yes, I do understand that, to at least a first approximation it’s no longer a mere faction but the heart and soul of that party — should take Owens as their role model.
Is it worth pointing out to the Trumpies -- especially to the It's-A-Constitutional-Republic-Not-A-Democracy types among them -- that "the election was corrupt, therefore I should be installed in office" is, from the perspective of a Constitutional Republic, literally and entirely indistinguishable from "I am so terrific, I should be made King; and not just one of those figurehead cucks like Charles, I mean like Richard III, where I say 'off with his head!' and off goes his head!"?
(I keep finding myself starting comments with the question, "Is it worth pointing out that...?" even though I know deep down that no, it's not worth pointing it out, at least not in the sense that pointing it out could possibly cause anybody in the Moron Trumpernickel Choir to consider the possibility of reconsidering anything they heard on Fox or read on their email stream. But I'm old, and it's a habit.)
Couldn't help but notice that Owen's fantasy is word-for-word Vladimir Putin's plan for Ukraine, right down to "cold, dark winter." Great minds think alike, I guess.
Given conservatism's proud history of standing athwart history yelling "Stop!" could this just be the first shots fired in the War on Electricity?
I mean, look at what BidenHitler wants to FORCE you to replace your gas-guzzling F150 with, an ELECTRIC F150! And what do those faggoty windmills and solar panels make? Connect the dots, sheeple!
Hmm, suspend the Constitution... That means Biden could declare martial law, drop habeas corpus, and jail all seditionists for as long as he wanted. Once more, Trump is the dumbest, most short-sighted Magoo in the room.
There are people in the US who know about Italy's "years of lead" and the "strategy of tension" the fascists used to try to overwhelm the democratic state. There was even a fair amount of informed discussion 10 years ago about how much of the stochastic violence by the authoritarian left via e.g. the red brigades was funded and directed by the neofascist conspiracy in the Italian army.
We *could* be prepared for that kind of right wing violence here. Instead the corporate media needs to sow some doubt - well it might be ecoterrorists too! And while most of the right wing itself is now openly advocating violence against the state and individuals, we still need to give them the benefit of the doubt because we're liberals...?
The proof you need to send someone to jail is "beyond a reasonable doubt." We don't need that standard to avoid hot stoves, electrical sockets, random snakes or spiders and bearded guys wearing nazi memorabilia and carrying guns.
As much as I hate to say it, leftists and LBGTQ people need to make sure we are armed in places like the Carolinas and Ohio. We've lost the gun control debate. So let's make sure that we are now armed.
Just realized that Trump is Cobra Commander from the old G.I. Joe cartoon.
* Like the Commander, Trump is "hatred and evil personified. Corrupt. A man without scruples. Probably the most dangerous man alive!" He also commands an army of violent fanatics.
* Also like the Commander, Trump is simultaneously a pathetic fuckup who is despised by his own subordinates.

Knocking out folks power in December is a great way of earning their trust and support!
Our superpower is their stupidity.

I missed that news about Bob Owens… I‘ve been an Alicubi since the Oughts and I swear I have no idea how that one got past me

Although I oppose the death penalty, I have to note that electrocution would be poetic justice for those fuckers.
