    Pretty freaky times.

    I had a conversation with Mrs. Jiggy-Z this morning about what might happen between now and the 20th and beyond.  She was the instigator.

    What with the big hack, nut jobs shooting democrats, a coup, disruption of the electrical grid we put together a plan to get a generator from my office, bring my hunting rifle home (also from my office), stock up on supplies, and shore up the perimeter defenses of our  rural "estate".

    Then, of course, we realized if shit really hit the fan, we were in no position to shoot anyone, do all of that extra work, and had no room for all of that extra food.  So we just decided to get some more alcohol and hope for the best.

    Those end of times nuts must be really committed.

    Rifle is stored at work (self employed) to avoid any problems at home and I am a contractor so I have plenty of generators available. 

    In McCarthy's 'The Road,' when it first becomes apparent that civilization has fallen, the unnamed mother and wife of the child and father protagonists, takes her own life rather than face what humanity has become. That always seemed the sensible solution.

    I think the most likely scenario is this. House votes to impeach on Tuesday, but since the senate won’t unanimously vote to reconvene and that means the earliest they could hear it would be 24 hours after receiving the articles, so either 20th or 21st. They will get Ga Senators sworn in, and start approving Biden cabinet picks. House won’t deliver articles of impeachment until important country shit is taken care of, then they will deliver articles to Senate. Senate needs 2/3 majority to convict. by then, maybe enough Republicans will have been convinced to convict so he can never hold office again. 

    There's also a chance that the GOP Senators will have the opportunity to gaze upon more dead Amercians before they are asked to vote. Obviously this wont sway the majority of them as that is their desired goal, but who knows how things will look in 3-7 days.

    Just listening so I don't know who this is, but a woman on MSNBC talking now about how her sources in the DOD say that they won't be able to defend the White House, if enough people come at it from every side. Gulp. 

    I would think enough snipers would do the trick pretty quickly, but what do I know.

    Edit to say: If $700 billion in defense spending renders you unable to defend the seat of government from LARPing insurance brokers, I assume all 50 states could be under foreign control in about an hour?

    I'm as anti-monopoly as the next guy, but I'm not sure what the Sherman anti-trust act has to do with the attack on the Capitol. Unless you're saying that the government should force private companies to allow traitors to use their private property to foment another attack? Is that it?

     even knowing it would have been worse for the country, I wish the whole crowd had been hosed with heavy machine gun .50 caliber rubber bullets or bayoneted by a double column of Marines. .

    I'm not so sure I agree with you that it would've been worse for the country in the long term. At some point, conspiracy theorists and cultists face a reckoning. There's no reason it should be on their terms when the basis of their beliefs is violent overthrow of the government. Maybe they need to see, in 1080 HD, their own military mowing down lines of "digital soldiers." 

    I don't wish for this to happen, but there will be blood. Its simply a matter of who sheds the most.

    In the "just asking questions" realm of things:

    From what we have seen of the capital invaders thus far, how might these executions have gone down?

    I have seen pointy flags, zip ties, various sprays, and some other club like weapons.  Additionally, I have heard some reports of  long guns and concealed weapons.

    So what weapons do we actually know these guys had or have reasonable suspicion of them having?

    I mean we don't actually think they were going to be hung on the grounds, trampled to death, or beaten to death.  Additionally we don't have any reports of Capital police being disarmed  and their firearms being used for intimidation or other purposes.

    I want to be as correct as possible when having to explain this, so I need a little clarification on the means and the actual armament.  Thanks.

    A cop was beaten to death and a woman was trampled to death.

    Is the Bakery analogy a good one to point out the hypocrisy of people upset about the removal of Parler?

    "the same people who think it's ok for a bakery to refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding are upset about the removal of Parler from app stores and web hosting services?"

    Kinda. A good way to think of it is this: Current conservative ideology would grant you the freedom to discriminate against someone for their sexual orientation, but not for political expression including sedition.

    Like Hawley and Cruz, everything Marco is saying has to be taken in the context of his future Presidential ambitions.  He's trying to win Trump's base on his side, and/or he's trying not to get primaried.

    Remember, Marco's seat is up in '22, and he's in Florida.

    Some of it is actual self-preservation. As in his life. There are going to be assassination attempts against the GOP members seen as insufficiently loyal to the coup.

    Oops.

    Who was the surly law and order asshole spamming the George Floyd thread every ten minutes with "Antifa rioter" images tweeted by that magat piece of shit Miles Cheong?

    Curious if he's weighed in....

    You mean @workswithseed?

    He's probably moved on to the issue most pressing today: the communist-inspired private market regulating itself.
