So one Magat kills another Magat in a 1930s gangland style hit job and [View all]

we're all supposed to beat our chests and do their soul searching for them? This is their shit. It's all "in the family," as they say. An internal squabble in MagaLand.

Nor is there anything new about this. We've known how deluded and violent they can be for ten years now, if not longer. The national question shouldn't be "O what on god's green earth are we going to do about the rise in political violence?" The question is, "What the fuck is this deadly social contagion that has taken over half the country?"

Kirk had talked about staging public executions and making it mandatory for children to watch. Who was he going to condemn? Adam Schiff? Liz Cheney? Jamie Raskin? AOC? The gays? College professors? Can you imagine your 5th grader sitting in his or her classroom forced to watch the video feed? And Brian Kilmeade suggests that we euthanize the homeless population. Apparently, he thinks this is an opportune time to target the most vulnerable population among us for death camps. Are they going to televise that as well in the name of their precious Christianity? Their cross is the new swastika. --- But this is all gutless, spineless big talk. These guys have emasculated themselves. It's all just ugly, empty theatre to make themselves feel important.

Nor am I impressed with MAGA's dipshit social media announcements declaring "THIS IS WAR!" Do these people realize just how pathetic and stupid they sound? It's like a construction foreman hits his own thumb with a hammer and starts threatening all the other guys around him. And what do they think they're going to do anyway? Rally up like the Army of Northern Virginia and march on Baltimore? No, they'll just shoot more school children to prove how big and strong and brave they are. But we already knew they're going to do that.

Nothing has changed. Donald Trump is still the limp yammering deliquescing soulless bleb he was a week ago. He's still underwater on everything. His policies are still driving inflation and undermining the economy and his diaper still stinks. The Epstein Files are still about to be pried from Bondi's cold corrupt Bride-of-Frankenstein hands. The lower courts are still going to mostly rule against him, and SCOTUS will only go so far to back him up. It'll be rough going and a lot of people are going to get hurt, but we will win. There is no other option.

It's time to break the spell. Let the dead bury the dead. We need to start driving the narrative again.
