Twighlight (edward cullen baseball game) Zone when the SoS (appropriate acronym) brazenly defies a whistleblower recommendation/referral from the VoA, and especially after last week, to go "I'm like, with God", "More like VICE of America, amirite?", and "hoho but aren't my critics so g.d. morally righteous?" And then to doot doot the American Exceptionalism skelton horn? No. No. It's dead, Mike.

I would guess that if you polled the Capitol stormers, most of them would tell you that they brought God with them. But fucking shit, OB, that's the worst vector of attack, I swear to you. That particular shield's at fucking fucengfkhadsg; fuck 20-943209834400008$%%%% of 10%.

Most of the actual boots-on-the-ground militia mob have been genuinely fooled. Pity them, but don't ever tell them that you do, nor let them infer it. Laugh about them, but get it out of your system, as much as you can. And then just be Jesus, that's what they want, right? Just BE JESUS, bro. ezpz

It is the GOP leadership we should attack, and I mean, dangerously non-violently. Never threaten, especially physically. Congressional and executive branch cabinet leadership are people we can openly laugh at. Almost all of them know better. Let's find new ways to laugh at them.

Working on it.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

No sympathy for traitors.

I feel that too, but I don't want to.

If we accept violence as part of our political

vernacular our next president will be decided by who brings the biggest horde to DC to contest the election in blood.

It is difficult to vehemently condemn their bullshit without using violent rhetoric, myself.

I'd love to help de-escalate the tension, but it's only gonna get worse for a while, if Trump FUCKING STILL won't concede the election.

Again, I pity them, but they don't want my pity. So I gotta find a way to redirect it into something productive.

I wish I knew what could possibly be productive in this environment.

Still puzzling over it here as well.

Not sure if/when/where I said this around the 'ski, but I was once hopeful that humor could be a way to break through. Then I realized that my brand of humor - the content I can make or things I can say genuinely - yeah, it's not gonna work.

Maybe like an angsty faux-christian music band? LOL, I'm obviously pretty much out of ideas.
