Goober Squad Update

The last of the militia schmucks in Oregon gave it up today and surrendered to the FBI.


So, of course, I had to bop over to Fox Nation to check on the reactions of the Guano Clan - and also too because trolling those mush-brains is just too damned fun.

Today's best troll comment:



The System Ain't Broke

...it's fixed.


And Then There Were 7

And the question now is - will they let Jim Gilmore into the next debate?  I mean - gee whiz  - he was only 6300 votes outa 8th place in New Hampshire.  And you gotta have an odd number so you can make sure Trump's always at center stage.  C'mon, guys, think.

Some of these wackos are giving wackos a bad name.



The Purge for Purity is just plain silly if you're concluding that a rapacious privatizing rent-seeking asshole like Paul Ryan doesn't quite measure up to your Assholery Specifications.

Gotta Go Back To Cable

TBS premiered Samantha Bee's new show - Full Frontal - last night and, of course, I'd forgotten all about it.

Here's a great clip that's great just for including the line describing Donald Trump as "an oddly tinted collection of psychiatric symptoms".  You can't not like that shit.

Mr Giuliani seems to think speaking the truth isn't wholesome.  He's saying having an opinion, stating an opinion, and defending that opinion is OK but only in places and/or circumstances prescribed by - who exactly?  The masters?  The Ruling Class?  Some blobby "majority" or "the American people"?  It's always some vaguely-defined image of an America that can be changed to fit whatever narrative they're flacking right now, but it always always always comes down to inviting the inference of a kindly white hegemony in a soft-focus past where all the black people were the good kind of black people who knew  how lucky they were to spend their lives cleaning our toilets and then conveniently dying with nothing to show for it - long before we had to think maybe we should pay them back for any of it.

The authoritarian mindset is always trying to tell everybody to shut up; get with the program; and don't say or do anything that might make anybody feel uncomfortable with the way the boss needs people to believe things are. And one of the main tools is Divide-n-Conquer. They work hard to pit us against each other to make sure we go on paying their rent, while looking for any opportunity to point and say, (eg) "Hey, look - Beyonce is being divisive".

They talk "Unity", but if you make any attempt to get people together, they'll be happy you've given them another chance to slag you by saying you're the one "tearing this country apart".

We're being fucked with like we've got tails.
