LOL. The scary thing is not that this year is as shit as a plate full of liver and onions, but that we are run by wankers who would defend their right to give us liver and onions instead of ice cream, and would then insist that the truck is actually serving ice cream, that it has never served liver and onions, then say they may have served us liver and onion but that is because it is for our own good, and that liver and onion tastes so much better than ice cream anyway... then they would repeat the core messages enough times that the base now enjoy liver and onions more than ice-cream because the fuckers they voted for told them so...
So very very 2020. But we know that ice cream tastes better than liver and onions however much they try to gaslight us. And if we take this analogy to the very end degree Joe Biden is a democracy flavoured ice cream. Ice cream for all November 2020!!!!
After all:
Huzzah!!!!
If 2020 was an Ice Cream Truck

Covid does not care, so all of us have to. I don't want any more people to die from Covid-19. I hate that people have been gaslit into embracing death from this horrid virus because Trump is a wicked wicked man. This anti face coverings crowd are going to see more of their number dwindle. They refuse to believe the hype... Then just like this young man, they are at a higher risk of death. It makes sense, after all if you are exposing yourself to a higher viral load than those that wear masks, surely you are going to get a more vicious infection. That is why we saw so many healthcare workers die - it is not just that they were exposed to the virus, but that they were exposed over and over, making their infections much more serious. Do you think they will ever get it?
Another example of Covid-19 refusing to enter the right wing anti-mask culture war...

It is always darkest just before the dawn and every day as they get more desperate and they accelerate their far right coup against democracy, the more transparent their nasty becomes and ergo the less votes they will get from independents - they are in a vicious downward spiral of destruction - and in November 2020 I cannot see how they do not get trounced at the polls. And at that point - all of them need to have the law books they have ignored and tried to destroy thrown at them. Biff. Baff. Uppercut. Boom.
He can try and kick the shit out of law and order as much as he wants ...BUT

This is exactly what Trump has tried and failed, to date, to do. Of course, there are a couple of things which have stalled his king like status, firstly, they really are an incompetent bunch of wankers – and showed their hand with things like troops on the streets, firing at peaceful protesters. Secondly, it seems like SCOTUS does still like the constitution and having been told by them he is not above the law has shown the emperor that he really does not have any clothes! Thankfully, he has not had the time to reinforce the endogroup sufficiently to turn his presidency into a dictatorship endoreality before November. We are witness to him trying to divide to conquer into the right wing devout and the left wing blasphemous, but this is having limited impact in the time of Covid-19 and BLM. At this point it is difficult to conceive that Trump will be re-elected in November, but if he does the negative endo-ideal (or as I like to call it, gaslighting away democracy) will be a very real thing indeed. Trump his backers and enablers will do everything in their power, legal, illegal, and treasonous to try and win the election, by foul means over fair. Voter suppression, delegitimising the result, divide and conquer, Russia, probably China and loads more will be used so Emperor Trump can continue to claim to the world that he actually does have clothes, all the while taking the opportunity to define democracy in the negative.
This is why he needs to be defeated by such a big number that the whole gaslighting of democracy gets nuked for many generations to come.

Here is the piece from last night. A very good reminder of all the nasty corrupt shit they have allowed Trump to get away with.

Any other administration would have been sunk with just ONE of these things but white supremacists and racists have no moral or ethical centre and there are none so blind as those who actively refuse to see.
They put up with all of it, cause

One of the hallmarks of this unprecedentedly scandal-ridden presidency is unfortunately that very serious things, very shocking things, even, tend to just pass by. Even the most serious things, they just pass by...

Do they really believe that they can escape their enabling of a nazi? I think they do... they must not be allowed to, of course. But also - if someone who is such a sycophantic crawler is trying to distance himself, then hell, we should start seeing open season with the nazi rats jumping from the trump titanic all over the shop! Splendid.
Rats always leave a sinking ship and the republicans that have kissed his arse while he was high on the hog will run like the wind to try and get away from the stench of failure. It is what they do. Conservatives are the most ruthless politicians when it comes to ensuring they get to retain power and privilege.
Claire McCaskill: 'Sen. David Perdue has undergone surgery to separate himself from Trump'
https://twitter.com/clairecmc/status/1281370819231457281Breaking: @sendavidperdue has undergone surgery to separate himself from Trump and is now airing ads in Georgia that don’t even MENTION Trump. No one has carried Trump’s water with more enthusiasm than Perdue. And now he ghosts him. Like rats from a sinking ship....

Really? Really? Come on...
Trump tells Sean Hannity he 'aced' a cognitive test, which 'surprised' doctors
President Trump praised his cognitive capabilities on Thursday, telling Fox News host Sean Hannity that he did such an "unbelievable" job during a recent assessment that it left his physicians stunned.
Trump said he took a cognitive test "very recently" at Walter Reed Medical Center, because the "radical left was saying, 'Is he all there, is he all there,' and I proved I was all there because I aced it, I aced the test." The doctors, he continued, were "very surprised. They said, 'That's an unbelievable thing, rarely does anybody do what you just did.'"

He said he was doing it as a prank?!?!?! Not buying that at all. Gonna guess we will see more reports like this in the next few months, as Trump supporters who have public office of some sort realise that he can not win square and fair and committing election fraud will look like a plan to keep their king in his castle.
A Mail Carrier Took People's Absentee Ballot Requests And Switched Their Party To Republican
A West Virginia mail carrier is facing prison time after admitting he attempted election fraud by changing the party registrations of people who had requested absentee ballots for the state's June primary, officials announced Thursday.
Thomas Cooper, 47, of Dry Fork signed an agreement in which he pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to defraud the residents of West Virginia of a fair election and one count of injury to the mail.
---
In a May 26 criminal complaint, prosecutors detailed how the Clerk of Pendleton County discovered the eight 2020 primary election COVID-19 mail-in absentee requests appeared to have been altered using a black pen.
Five of the requests had been altered so the voters' ballot choice was switched from Democrat to Republican. But the clerk knew some of the voters were not Republicans, and when she called them they told her they had used blue pens to request Democratic ballots before dropping off the requests at the post office.
