Today In Smarmspace



18 U.S. Code § 2383.Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.


This one is beyond perfection.

45* uses a double shield to express, "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

"I'm not saying I want people to start shooting each other if those rotten Dems impeach me - it was that Jeffers guy - and besides, he didn't say he wanted that either - those very fine people just spontaneously started killing liberals because they know those dirty liberals are dirty and liberal and were cheating them out of their right to have the greatest president in the history of forever, and so they were patriotically defending blah blah blah..."

These guys don't ever give direct orders. They don't ever tell anyone to break the law or to do shitty things, even though that's what they want. They speak in coded language and invite inference, knowing that over time, the people around them will pick up the signals and do the dirt for them.

And yes, I know all of that is obvious to most of us by now. But that's why it has to be reiterated - they do that shit all the time and if you don't stop and point and say, "That's fucked up", then it starts to sink in and become the norm.
