Indeed. Though watching him being rolled out of the Capitol, (allegedly) zip tied to an office chair, then stuffed into a squad car was pretty satisfying. And hilarious.

Fun fact: Both Ruby Ridge and the initial raid in Waco occurred under a republican presidency, although the Waco siege did carry over into the transition to a democratic administration.

And even though Ruby Ridge happened entirely during the Bush I administration, within a few years, republicans were already rewriting history to blame it on Clinton.

A Russian spy, meaning there was a Russian person who was leaking Russian secrets to the west. You know, those kind of Russian spies the CIA is always trying to develop.

Well, apparently they were awakened by unknown people pounding on their door at 1 a.m. They pounded for close to a minute without identifying themselves. Who does that?

Something I throw in their face every chance I get. Where I live, that chance comes fairly often, sadly.

You need not look hard to find racist conservatives being racist. It’s not a “dog-whistle” anymore. It’s 2020 and the final deranged year in President Pandemic’s ill-gotten term. They shout it loud n proud, and they are tired of feeling marginalized about it. Trump has given voice and power and a sense of legitimacy to the most hateful, bigoted, racist and violent in our nation. Now he’s even toying with the delegitimization of our only viable weapon against his vile soul, the election and our constitutional right to vote.

As a matter of style, can I say I'm sick of using such a weak and wimpy term as "hypocrisy" to describe this stuff? I was a hypocrite to harp on smoking to my kids while continuing to smoke myself. This crap is not "hypocrisy."

Doublethink. It is right-wing doublethink.

People do lots of nutty things they think might impress women. But inviting a woman to tase you because she might then want to make out is one of the most imaginative. At least alcohol was involved.

Well, okay, she's way too Barbie for me, too. But cons generally like that look.
