Historian, editor, worrier. The burden of the historian is knowing how bad things can get. 😭 Illegitimi non carborundum!

What has happened to make you so contemptuous of man?

I found the lists. I've never used one. Do I go down the list and block each account one by one?

Why did he bring an AR-15? We all know why he was there so cut the bullshit.

If everybody blocked them, eventually they'd have no one to talk to but each other, and they seem to hate talking to each other.
comment in response to post
I get the blocking, but what can we report them for?

They're all dumb*sses

No, they won't be the downfall of humanity. This isn't over.

Yes. After 250 years, our constitutional Republic is ending. 😭 Ah well. The question before us now is, what will our Second Republic look like, and how can we keep it from being fascist?

No, but Merrick Garland will.

Never were. No white knight was ever going to save us. Took us 8 years to learn.

No, Trump will fire them just to prove a point. Who will say no?

The current administration has no backbone. We are going to get rolled. Biden has had great achievements, but his lasting legacy will be turning out the lights on his way out the door. Oh, and we don't need any more fireballs to know what is coming.

If we all block every maga we come across, they would soon get lonely.

Gloat all you want, maga. I don't care. Trump's still a traitor, and you're still as dumb as a bag of rocks. If I were you, I wouldn't sit with your back to the door anywhere in magaland.
comment in response to post
We'll see, maga. We'll see.

Eh, Wisconsin. Doesn't matter. Rittenhouse still showed up looking for trouble. If he had gotten whacked, no one would have cried for a dumb*ss kid showing up where he had no business being.

Sorry for this long screed. I'm just thinking out loud

We are smarter than them and are not hobbled by their petty whims and jealousies. Now we must act smarter. Otherwise, we're going to get rolled, like we have been for the past 8 years. (Remember Mueller, and the impeachments, and all of the indictments and trials?)

Our tendency is to follow norms & traditions slavishly in the expectation that doing so will lead to a good outcome. We believe the process is the goal, whereas it is only the means. We must instead choose the outcome we want and base our actions on that.
comment in response to post
The rules are all changing, whether we want them to or not. It is comforting to cling to the old habits of thought and ways of doing things, but we are up against a force that doesn't play by the rules and is playing for keeps. We must be more flexible while remaining true to our principles.

A gay maga Jew? That will be a death sentence, lol. No one will like you, and no one will want to save you. Your "friends" on the right will hate you for being queer & Jewish. The left will figure you'll deserve whatever's coming to you because you're stupid enough to trust the Christian magas.

But I hope some day you'll tell me stories about Grenada. I know the Army side of things there but not the Marines' side.

Donald Trump is a case in point. He is the very embodiment of sin, but you treat him like he's the Second Coming. And God is up there watching and saying to St. Peter, "You seeing this? You seeing this?" You're getting your way now, but don't press your luck. I think God likes humility.
comment in response to post
Throughout history, people have claimed to serve God by telling others what God wants. They usually come to a bad end. I figure God doesn't like it when people claim to speak for Him because they usually get it wrong. Then He does things like, idk, send hurricanes to punish the blasphemers.
comment in response to post
Yes. And we are free to stay and wrench power from you if we have to. The blue states have most of the money because we are smarter than you. Maybe we will decide not to share anymore, and you crackers can go back to eating clay.
comment in response to post
They hate democracy because they represent a minority of the country and they can't keep winning elections forever. So their solution is to not have elections, or, more accurately, have elections that are not free & fair. They will then be free to recreate the Jim Crow South or apartheid S Africa.

Wow! It's like "Survivor: Buckingham Palace." Who will be the next royal voted out of the family? Pass the🍿! Thanks for the info!

In other words, rural America has been Southified, or maybe Confederated, if you will.
comment in response to post
One result of this is that Midwestern states where the people were level-headed and conservative (in the old sense) have become rabid extremists (i.e. magas). Even NC, traditionally staid & sober compared to its neighbors in SC, has gone crazy. Just look who they put up for governor.
comment in response to post
One thing that strikes me is that what used to be a peculiarly Southern brand of Evangelical Christianity has spread like wild fire in rural areas around the country, especially in the Midwest. One sign of this is that regional accents (Iowa, Nebraska, etc.) are melding into a single rural accent.

I get it! They're like zombies! The parents bite the kids, who either have a natural immunity & run away or become zombies themselves. Then they run around trying to kill anyone with a functioning brain. The only way to stop a zombie is to hit em upside the head, which they so richly deserve.

Oh wait, I get it! You're talking about Trump! πŸ˜‚ You had me there for a moment. I thought maybe you were just some rando knuckledragger. My bad.
comment in response to post
Now that isn't even clever. It's just hateful and nasty. I'm not entertained by you at all.
comment in response to post
Yeah, but how can there be soooo many people with the same pathologies? Were they always there, and Trump lined them all up behind him like the pied piper? Or is it contagious, like cooties? Is there something about living in rural areas that rots certain parts of the brain? What is it?

Anointed by God, no less. You can't make this sh*t up.

Damn, I think you're right! He's the perv who hangs out by the schoolyard, looking for a boy to molest. Ick!

Ok, now that's funny!
comment in response to post
Why do you people have such dirty minds? Is this one of your favs from your own stash? The more religious someone claims to be, the more likely it is that he is a pervert. Thanks for proving my point, maga jesus

I don't pay attention to the royals so I don't know about this. Sounds juicy. What's going on? Is this about Epstein?
comment in response to post
They worship a guy who has committed every sin in the book, is unrepentant, and can't quote a single Bible verse, and they see nothing wrong or strange about that.
comment in response to post
Hell yeah! Sure do wish he was my next President!

These people are so full of s***

That is genius!

Ha! Yeah. I'm sure Jesus went around saying, "Typical Samaritan scumbag."

Real Christianity is nothing like what these bozos practice, as you know. What they think the Bible says is both hilarious and disgusting
