MAGA sticks fingers in their ears, starts yelling "nah nah nah nah" and runs down the middle until they fall of the end because death would be better than facing reality.
In my late teens and early 20's I got really into Napoleonic history, I still attribute that quote to Sun Tzu. It just sounds so much like some of the prose from Tzu, I sometimes wonder if Napoleon read it since it translated into French two years after his birth.
I'm waiting for the "we're going to hold you in the country for staying in the country to long and hold you and extra day for every day you continue to be in the country". At this point I wouldn't put it past them. The cruelty is the point.
A former coworker on night shift was a former manager at MacDonald's, she claimed that putting the grape jelly on a sausage biscuit was amazing.
I stop by McDonald's on my way home and try it. Once I finished the sausage biscuit with grape jelly I conclude that she was high when she came up with that because it was awful.
The following night she asks if I tried it and I tell her I did and thought it was awful, she replied "eh, I guess you've got to be stoned to enjoy it".
I cut the cord years ago and never bothered to replace it with a OTA cable replacement since I cut the cord because I wasn't watching the content, so I don't have C-SPAN.
That being said I do keep up with politics outside of the daily show, and I remember when the Vichy Dems had the house, the senate, and the white house in 2020 and they still failed to make meaningful changes. Sure they passed a few spending bills to fund the economy.... sorry I mean support the American people, but they could have put in stop gaps after what they saw from the first trump regime.
So what they do? They followed Schumer's lead and bent over backwards to try and accommodate the republicans who once they got what they wanted would move the goal post and delay everything even longer.
And yes I'm calling them the Vichy Dems, they have capitulated to fascism. The fact that the January 6th commission was slow rolled, and Merrick Garland wasn't hauled in for questioning every week until something meaningful was done about the attempted insurrection, means the Dems are just as responsible for the mess we're in now as the republicans. Dems had the power and Chucky pushed to not use it, and now we're all paying the price.
I'm sure Chuck Schumer will have a strongly worded letter for this. Wait what am I thinking, Obama is on their side, they'll completely destroy him for this.
I felt like Truth didn't fully fit, I admit I just glanced at the wiki to remind myself of the various ministries. Here's why I chose Love for the DOJ:
"The Ministry of Love serves as Oceania's interior ministry. It enforces loyalty to Big Brother through fear, buttressed through a massive apparatus of security and repression, as well as systematic brainwashing."
A show can have a fine cast and still not be good. I just personally didn't like that season, it's fine if others did, I just wanted to break out some Dr. Cox.
I take nuclear hell fire, thank you very much. Get it over fast.
