Shenanigans

 

Good morning.

Watched Civil War over the weekend. 

A fictional outcome of the upcoming election.  I hope we manage to overcome the shenanigans being perpetrated; the "engineered violence" with the eating of pets in Springfield, Ohio (a conspiracy theory deliberately started to incite the MAGA base); a second [staged] "assassination attempt" to garner sympathy and votes (maybe I've become to cynical to think otherwise); the rigging of election laws and committees. Perhaps then we can avoid what happens in the film.









Actually it's been since 2008 with the "Birther" movement.

I am surprised that more media is not covering the interview with Vance about the Springfield lies. His response was essentially "If promoting a fake story is going to help my narrative, I am going to keep doing it!".

The GOP are nothing except fucking assholes.

But on a bright note - seems that local police and the Secret Service are not having a problem getting into the exacting details about where the MAGA gun nuts got it wrong. From Sunday's ABC World News:

“The gun was too high and visible through the fence… school backpacks with clay tiles [for shielding] were just [hanging from] the fencing. Had the gun been lower the gunman would have been within 100 yards and had a clear target. …the golf course he likes to play is nearly impossible for Secret Service to secure. …[there is ] one agent assigned scout ahead of the hole he’s playing…”.

"If you see a guy in a black suit talking into his sleeve, keep low..."

I don't think I could deal with that movie. I'll take these chuckles instead.

The shooter sounds like just the type of dimwit who would agree to this kind of campaign craziness.

Spoiler alert!!!!!




Only one scene was truly...disturbing. It has a Trump-like guy as President who started the war by bombing a BLM / Antifa march. But it does end well for the good guys killing the president up close and personal in the Oval Office.

Well, we now know Vance is dumb enough to admit believing in Plato's noble lie. He may even be dumber than the former guy.

Regarding the slang terms for penis, I think in 1811 they were on to something (or perhaps predicting the future).

Oh, both Vance the Couch Fucker and DonOld are lying 24/7.
The 'assassination attempt'? As staged as the 'first' one. Nothing makes sense. I see Jim Jones inspiring that. Because THAT changed the convo to the fuckery and not Cheeto's senility and his incapacity to utter three coherent sentences.
And I have to watch that movie now...

XOXO

I just hope that when his Senate term is up, the people in OH get rid of him.

whkattk said...

LOL.

whkattk said...

All of that. What they've put those Oh townspeople through is ridiculous. And I sure hope they all remember that when he has to run for reelection to the senate.
Oh, you should definitely watch the film!
XOXO

I should be feeling better with Harris-Walz but things just keep slipping and sliding all over the place. Ugh. I want to go hibernate.

whkattk said...

Those are always fun to read. History gets more fascinating as I get older. I wonder why that is....
Hugs and bisous.

Is this for real, “ I love a Big Boner
in the Morning? You got to love those signs….

I think Trump’s platform for 2024 as he has stated is “ REVENGE AND RETRIBUTION.” That says it all. Hugs and bisous.

I think it's an actual ad from many years ago, London. LOL.

I think you're right and it should be our goal to show him how it's done! Hugs and bisous.
