More American Garbage Again

 From @ AlterNet: Apparently, Slobbo the HOT* is planning to recruit paramilitary militia groups in border states as a private army to combat illegal immigration that he considers the worst problem in the whole wide world. A much better use of these militia monkeys would be to transport all of them to Ukraine as reinforcements against the Russians. The world would applaud Slobbo for finally doing something useful, and the militia mooks could play Cowboys & Indians all day or until the ammo was gone.

The more I think about it (and the more I read on the subject), the more certain I am that Slobbo's selection of Tulsi Gabbard as director of National Intelligence originated in Russia, where all of the orders Slobbo receives originate.

Q NOTES # 705: Facts of the Matter

Excuse the repetition, but there's only one reason for Donnie Pudd to refuse to testify fully and openly in the deposition hearing: He's guilty as hell on all counts, and everybody with an ounce of intelligence knows it. The Pudd has been coddled way too long, and it needs to stop.

Maybe gun crazies in California will get a lesson in what goes around comes around.

Q. Notes, Day 168

Week 24 coming to a close.

Kyle Rittenhouse caught by the camera in a front-row seat at one of Cheezy's pep rallies, confirmed by snopes.com as true. Linkage established. Asked for comments, Cheezy stalls (check back with him in a few days). And the (R) Nazi boys in right-wing media  immediately start declaring he killed those people in Kenosha in self-defense. That explains why Rittenhouse crossed a state line carrying a loaded weapon: He went there purely to protect himself.

I can remember back in the old days when Rod Rosenstein seemed to be the good guy in the white hat who was protecting Robert Mueller's investigation from evil Cheezy. Boy, were we ever wrong about that motherfucker. The fact that we worried he'd be fired, but he never was, should've been a clue.

The latest desperate move by Cheezy. Basically, it's accepted as fact that if you're over 70, or have some preexisting health condition like obesity, diabetes, or hypertension, COVID-19 is more likely to be fatal. If you're over 70 AND obese with high blood pressure AND diabetes, go ahead and kiss your ass goodbye. Of course, after you're gone, Cheezy won't add your name to the COVID-19 fatality list, since it wasn't the Microbes from Hell that got you, it was your age and weight. And fuck it, you would have probably died pretty soon anyway.

Subpoena Update

It would amuse me to see the New York AG tear the NRA a new asshole.

A Bottomless Pit

Here's the thing that pisses me off more than anything else: Once Donnie Hump and Pence are long gone, most of the people who support them today will still be here. We're talking about the dregs of humanity, the scum of the earth, and for them, the fat bastard will never go too low. The odds are, America will never be great again, at least not great the same way we used to think it was.

From Daily Kos: Democrats need to stay focused on GOP corruption in the midterm election campaign 

Evangelunatics like Robert Jeffress claim they support a moral degenerate like Donnie Hump because of his policies, not his character. Bullshit. Everything about that fat motherfucker is rotten, and that includes his so-called policies.

What do I call seeing the NRA get seriously busted? I call that icing on the cake.

I came across a link at DU in the general discussion forum, and the article itself provides the context needed to understand why Donnie Hump is Putin's suck buddy, and why we need to wake up and get serious. Donnie didn't just happen. This shit has been in progress for a lot longer than three years.

Showdown at Pennsylvania Avenue

So-called precedent (sic) Donnie Velveeta had what was referred to as a "listening session" at the White House. The topic was supposed to be solutions to the national epidemic of killing sprees by gun queers. The following quote is lifted from Politicus USA:

Trump said, “I just wanted to say before we begin, we are going to be very strong on background checks. We’ll be doing strong background checks, very strong emphasis on the mental health of somebody, and we are going to do plenty of other things. Again, next week the governors are coming in from most of the states and have a serious talk about what’s going on with school safety, very important. And we’re going to cover every aspect of it. There are many ideas I have, there are many ideas other people have and we’re going to go with the strongest ideas, most important ideas, ideas that are going to work and we’re going to get them done. It’s not going to be talk like it has been in the past. It’s been going on too long, too many instances and we’re going to get it done. So, again, I want to thank you all for being here.”

When I read this, my first reaction was that he was talking down to students who are much smarter than he is. Then I remembered this is how Donnie talks to everyone. He's a fucking idiot, and it pisses him off when he has to do stuff like this instead of watching Fox News on the TV set.

UPDATE 10:34 AM 22 FEB: The fucking idiot needed a cheat sheet to get through the so-called "listening session." That blows Donnie's photo op all to hell.

Of course, it won't matter to the members of Donnie's zombie cult because they're just as fucked up as he is.

Answered Prayers

Another massacre, this time in Texas. The usual right-wing lunatics attribute this one to an attack by liberals on religious people. There's another line of so-called thought that when all those people were being wasted, their prayers to be delivered from evil were being answered by Jesus.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Personally, it doesn't work for me.

Update 11:49 AM Tuesday 7 November: Add Pablo to the list of true believers. Again, we see that religion appeals to people who need easy answers to hard questions.

American Gunfire

At 11:48 AM on 23 June 2016, Senator Rand (Rotten Haircut) Paul posted the following judgment on Twitter:

Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul

 11:48 AM - 23 Jun 2016

@Judgenap: Why do we have a Second Amendment? It's not to shoot deer. It's to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!

Which explains today's hottest news story, I guess.

Freedom means shooting at pols.

Update 18 June 6:21 PM: The new version is that this tweet was posted by some staff person who works for Rand Paul. The embarrassing ones are always a staffer's fault.

Armed rebellion?

The right-wing militia types (crazy middle-aged lunatics with guns) are starting to threaten an armed rebellion if Fuhrer Trump isn't the winner next week.

If this goddamned motherfucker of an election campaign has proven anything to me, it's that America is in serious need of a thinning of the herd. An armed insurrection by Cheeto's warriors would be an excellent place to start the thinning, about a dozen at a time.

As I always say, when the shooting begins, I'm putting my wager on the side with the aircraft and the artillery.

Sentry Duty

The latest fad among America's wannabe vigilantes is pretending to provide armed security outside various military recruiting offices around the country. What these assholes really want is the chance to kill some Muslims, but not badly enough to walk inside and enlist.

Actually, if any real terrorists ever show up, guys like these will almost definitely be Targets 1A, 1B, 1C, etc.

Shootin' Irons

The lege is taking care of all the most important business first, and is on the verge of making it legal to carry a handgun openly. I think everyone who is nervous about going outside unarmed should be able to carry as many guns as they want, but I think the lege is making a big mistake with this bill. Open carry shouldn't be optional; it should be mandatory. Only law enforcement personnel should be allowed to carry concealed weapons. It's a minority viewpoint, but I stand by it:

• If someone is carrying a loaded gun in my presence, I want to see it. In Texas, too many lunatics qualify for licenses.
• If reasonable regulation of guns is a goal, the best way to get voters to think about gun issues is to have guns visible everywhere they go.

Rights

A picture being worth a thousand words, there's nothing that needs to be added here.

Revolting

Among the things I hope I live long enough to see is an armed revolution by the tea people against the perceived tyranny of the federal government.

There are entirely too many goddamned gun-crazy religious nuts running around, constantly bitching and whining about everything that scares them -- which is pretty much everything. One thing a revolution would accomplish is a much-needed thinning of the herd.

And if dipshits like Rep. Gionet don't have the guts to lead an insurrection in defense of their principles, they need to STFU about it.

Added 11:15 AM on 3 May 2013: More commentary on armed revolt by the crazies. When the revolution comes, I'm betting on the side with the artillery and the jet aircraft.

Gun Craziness

How does this shit get started? The latest controversy stirred up by right-wing fuckwads with too much free time on their hands involves a claim by Obama that he engages in skeet shooting. Does he or not? Is it really important, and who cares anyway?

A thousand words ? Really ?

After reading letters to the editor in USA Today and some online newspapers, I learned the hot topic today is Obama's decision not to release postmortem photographs of Osama bin Laden. I personally thought it was a good call -- people who are still unconvinced would think the pictures were faked anyway, and why give people who want to blow shit up another excuse to do it ? And think about this:  Osama wasn't much to look at on his best day, smiling and posing for the camera. Why would he be more photogenic with a chunk of his skull missing ?

No matter, though. There are apparently ghouls who want to see the death photos, and are pissing and moaning because they won't be able to check 'em out. Sick.

Fast Guns

When I was an adolescent, I had a recurring fantasy. In this particular daydream, I'd happen onto a situation where a bad guy was threatening a group of people, including several pretty young women. I'd quietly come up behind the villain, pull out a pistol, and put an end to the threat. As a result, I was treated like a hero and the pretty girls gazed at me with longing in their eyes. It was a pleasant daydream but eventually I outgrew it, sometime during high school as I recall.

Judging from online comments I've been reading, there are apparently adult males in Texas who dream of someday proving their heroism by busting a cap into some lunatic. These guys surface whenever the topic of concealed handgun licenses comes up, and though they never address it directly, I suspect thoughts of pretty girls and adoring gazes are always on their minds.
