Yeah, great job laying it out plainly. Thanks. I'm not a "Do something!!" guy because I know how slow those wheels of justice grind. I do wish the dems would go on offense and rally hard right now. Biden's last few days indicate that may be in the works. We are at the threshold of a new American revolution, will it be a historic transition to the renewable energy future, or a counter-revolution to a government purposely hobbled to allow the worst excesses of capitalism to go on unchecked?

BTDT, also. Only as an tourist, tho -- Late Hubs & I went, with a carload of friends, before we were married. Good times! I was very impressed with NOLA's Finest: calm dudes, some on horseback, just trying to make sure no one hurt themselves. TBH, we left before Fat Tuesday was over, tho -- we were camped across Lake Ponchartrain & didn't wanna get trampled, so we skittered while the getting was good.

Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever. . . .Uh, so let's get going, there's no other choice. God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural... fluids. God bless you all" and he hung up.Uh, we're, still trying to figure out the meaning of that last phrase, sir.

President Merkin Muffley: There's nothing to figure out, General Turgidson. This man is obviously a psychotic.

15 years down the road from 56 it was Dick Nixon blowing the racist dogwhistle to Dixiecrats, a whistle Ronny the Raygun picked up and then really belted some tunes out.

I am reading (and re-reading in the juicy/WTF parts) Landslide by Michael Wolff and it is eye-popping. The odd thing, is Orange Dumazz disdained his maga-billy followers. Thought they were all trailer trash.

Point taken. I also read that book and made note of his comments.

However, don't you think that Trump disdains almost everyone?

This sounds too...educated...to be the Mango Mussolini's words. I smell Stephen Miller's noxious brain-farts seeping out of this part of the speech.

Yes, Trump did incite the riot and insurrection.

Trump might avoid the "incites" bit but his tweets were definitely giving comfort to the rioters.

Imagine: Trailer trash in the penthouse.

Remember the old GOP had Tricky Dick and Ezra Taft Hartley. And Tail-Gunner Joe.
