What a great week!
How does one get the word out to Q, Oath Keepers, Proud boys, NAZIS, Putin's Pride and KKK and patriots all.. To alert them to the Big rally at Mat A Lago.
Free drinks, Free golfing, hob knobbing, wall scaling, even security guard beatings.
Ivanka and Malania will be there for the Pussy Grabbling to make you feel like a celerity.
It will be great, great fun. Everyone of Trump's "good people on that side" are invited for a week of luxury mar A Lago living . Even Rush will be their to meet and great all of you patriot's. Putin will give a video conference speech on why it is better to be Russian than a Democrat.
Need to get the word out.
But ssshhhhhh! It is a surprise party for Donald. So do not tell him. Or, it won't be a surprise now will it?
Well that didn't take long. The Washington Post tries to "both sides" extremist violence. I swear the mainstream media will go into withdrawals if they can't write more "Dems in disarray" stories.

Sorry for being a day late, but history does rhyme and occasionally echo...
On the night of November 6, 2012, shortly after Ohio was called for Obama, our electricity was disconnected over non-payment from the heroin-using room mate whose apartment and PG&E account it was. I believe we got it turned back on three days later.
OK.
On Monday the 18th, MLK day, I happened to notice some high wind advisories on the weather forecast, and just out of curiosity I checked PG&E's public safety power shutoff site, just in case we were so fucking far gone into climate change that they were doing safety shutoffs again in fucking January. They were, and the lights went out a half hour later.
Only this time they were serious, and the winds were indeed severe. Severe enough that instead of the forty hour shutoff they usually roll out, there were damages to the transmission lines that needed repair and as a result we finally got electricity again last night about 7 PM.
So we missed the whole shebang.
And it was as cold as fuck.
And we lost the frozen pizza and some broccoli and green onions.
No word yet as to whether the Klondikes are still edible.
So from what I have gathered so far, as soon as there were consequences announced, in the form of arrests and possible sedition charges, the MAGA Moron Army kinda lost interest in tearing shit up for Fergus' amusement, and are now being quoted as having called him "weak and flaccid" right there in front of god and CNN. Strong words from the anti-masturbation camp.
And of course, what EVER.
I agree with the application of "look at what they do more than what they say" to the new administration, and so far I'm liking what I am seeing. Like the firings at the US Global Media Corp or whatever they call the VOA people. I hope that I still feel that way after I get caught up on the week of reading I missed, but I have this weird, optimistic feeling about it that the folks getting hired to run the government not only know what they're doing, but have the same pent up frustration at having to endure Fergus' kakistocracy for four years and have the sort of response to their new jobs as you would expect.
And I'm still getting emails from Indivisible about using pressure right now when it counts, so that's somewhat reassuring, as I'm way too fucking old to just fuck this off AGAIN.
Not only am I sixty years old now, but I'm a fucking Democrat. Even my cat is a Democrat, as he does occasionally bite the hand that feeds him. (That's a Biden joke, by the way, one he used at the RTCA dinner about his dog) And now that same dog is in the fucking white house. Along with his master. You're damn right I'm gonna celebrate, even if it has to be with candy we bought at the dollar store because I don't have any remaining vices.
Thank you again for the podcast. We just laid in the supplies to last us through the "atmospheric river" snow storms that are due to get underway today and got the new tire with a nail in it switched out for the new spare we bought with our first round of apocalypse money, but as they aren't open today, we may have to wait a bit to get it back.
Yesterday we were at the grocery store and Briana saw someone without a mask saying to someone else without one that it was good to see a whole face again. Being Briana, she went right up to them and said "So you have gotten your vaccinations?"
Oh yes, they replied, we're health care workers.
Maybe we'll live through this.
