The bit I love is the “we live to serve Israel” crowd is ALSO contorting itself to conclude “but let’s not be rash, there’s also room in the party for Nazis who think that Jews are vermin and should be exterminated!” Cognitive dissonance writ large. The GQP is literally the party of simultaneous fealty to Zionism and violent anti-semitism. It’s amazing to watch, as they embrace both without an ounce of irony.
The dumb thing is the rich Jews who think that aligning with the regime puts them “in the club” and will protect them in the long run. Nope. It makes you (1) a useful idiot for the time being, and then when it all falls to shit, (2) among the fattest, ripest targets for the State to go after. Confiscating billions and distributing it among the regime’s insiders and friends? That’s a standard play of authoritarian regimes. Your dumbass things they won’t run it on YOU? Fucking. IDIOTS.
The boy and I just goofed off and went to Pinballz for a coupla hours. He now owns the high score on Pac Man. I own it on Missile Command and Tempest. And we tied for the high score on Sea Wolf. Then, we figured out which ticket games could be gamed, we did so, and he cashed out tickets for a drone. Then picked up church’s spicy and okra on the way home. That’s a good evening any way you cut it. Glad to have him home.
So much this. I don’t WANT to place a goddamn online order. I don’t want to have to enter my preferred delivery time and address. I just want to see if you offer extreme fajitas and pizza shooters and see how much they cost. That’s it. I want to see your goddamn menu. It’s not hard to post it. Lots of places do.
100% this. We need to come to terms with - and truly accept - the fact that most of this country is retrograde as fuck. They won’t vote for a woman. And they won’t vote for a minority. A handful were swayed to vote for Obama, it were them subjected to literally DECADES of the right telling everyone that he was the worstest, most awfullest, evilest, demonic, divisive figure in American history. And they bought it. And they’ll never go back. We elected a black man president, and in the end, it likely destroyed the Republic. Not because of him, but because of us.
As I’ve noted, they’ll pivot to saying that “taking what you want is an alpha move - that my President!” They have already totally transformed our moral landscape. We are going to end up with rape not only not being a negative, but actually a positive. It won’t take long, we’re practically there already.
Oh, he’s alone. Because he let himself fall to shit and can’t travel. And he got married again soon after my wife’s mom died, because he wanted a woman to take care of him, because he’s a spoiled infant. And it didn’t even work. So now he’s stuck in a middling nursing home near her, not near either one of his kids. Because that’s how these people roll.
