WASHINGTON DC – “It’s unbelievable, like a nightmare you can’t wake up from,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “I mean sure, since I was first elected in 1987, Congress has been directly involved in overthrowing the governments of Panama, Haiti, Serbia, Iraq, Libya, and Egypt, but this is just beyond the pale. I mean, are you serious? Sometimes we have to overthrow the government to find out what’s in it.”
From across the aisle, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that, “it’s one thing when we spend decades and billions of dollars trying to forcibly alter the politics of Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela, and Cuba, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to boomerang like this. It’s almost as though the wind that was once at our backs has changed direction, so that it is blowing back on us, one might say.”
Meanwhile, Senior CIA Spokeswoman Joanna Gambolputty announced that, “we would like to reassure the American people and the military industrial complex that this outburst is a mere speed bump in the status quo,” and added, “remain calm; all is well!” as extremist Trump supporters unleashed thousands of marbles on Pennsylvania Avenue and a mysterious “Deathmobile” raced through the city’s streets.
Other reactions to the riot have come from media outlets and NGOs. CNN stated that it is reconsidering its decision to stop broadcasting in airports, but only until it finds some other captive audience. The Southern Poverty Law Center has now classified Republicans as a hate group and is urging relatives to report suspicious friends and relatives to the FBI.
For its part, the FBI has stated that while they appreciate any efforts to crush resistance to the deep state, their antiquated computer systems cannot handle the increased traffic. Other government agencies responded that they too are unable to handle the backlog because most of them are still working from home and their connections are not reliable.
International reactions have been mixed, with the French offering to send surplus guillotines and a tidal wave in Moscow of former KGB officers laughing themselves to death. When asked for a reaction, President Trump and his staff began humming the Battle Hymn of the Republic and left the press conference room.

No wonder the Dems are so hell-bent on emptying prisons lately.

Biden is going to reverse Trump’s ban on terrorist countries and reimpose ban on travel from Europe and Brazil. Traitor Joe is already doing his good work.
https://wgntv.com/news/president-trump-lifting-covid-19-travel-restrictions-on-europe-uk-brazil/
I welcome the terrorists. They’re way less dangerous to America than the democrats.
Every right thinking person knows that this is the European virus so good call.
I would think restrictions on travel due to Covid from those countries would stand or am I wrong and the planes will start flying?
I don’t know.
Does that answer your question?
President’s choice. That’s what Kamala wants, that’s what she gets.
I loved President’s Choice cookies.
Oh. Never mind.
Well, that’s the way they crumble.
If memory serves, Obama had the same countries singled out.
He did. Truth is irrelevant, only labels matter anymore.
Hey Obama did it for only the most noblest of reasons. Trump only did it because he is a racist. Only those in the know know the difference.

Sorry Derp, I can’t bring myself to read it at the moment. I’m sure it’s good.
I find myself increasingly agitated as of late and unable to laugh at the insanity of it all. Maybe it would be different if I didn’t have kids, but I wanted to leave something better for them and instead I got this, the unraveling of Western Civilization at our own hands.
I need an injection of Stoicism, stat. Or morphine…
At least the water only gets hotter slowly. Or, there’s this.
Im worried about my kids too. Pre-teen and a teenager. I really think that by the time they are young adults this country is going to be in real bad shape. I havent been on Facebook or watched the news for weeks. Every story gets me angry—and since i got off FB i have nowhere to rant about it.
I’d feel the same way ( my kid’s 8 ), but I gave up on prognosticating last year. There’s always the chance that enough people snap out of it and they turn the ship back around to slow and steady destruction again.
The train left Slowen Steady Destruction Station years ago.
I’ve got a step granddaughter on the way. But her mother is a true believer liberal social democrat, and I refuse to get involved in that shit show.
Laughing at the insanity of it all is all I have.
I keep telling myself that the grifters in congress need a functioning economy to keep the graft rolling in. So the current public spectacle is just for show and the behind the scenes shit continues as always.
But, I’m not sure I believe that anymore.
They’ll happily rule over the ashes than share power over a functioning economy.
Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden understand this. But they are all over 70. The young ones really do believe in this bullshit. So if Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer all live through the next four years and can keep the commies at bay, we might get along with just a 3rd Obama term.
But if they let the loonies off the leash, shit could get real bad real fast. A massive tax hike and a Green New Deal coupled with the amount of debt they racked up fighting the Wuhan Flu, we could be looking at the big drop.
My Brazilian wife and I laughed at the “multiracial whiteness” article where it’s perfectly okay to call black conservatives Uncle Tom white supremacists. As long as you use academic jargon, you’re good.
Hate to say it, but leave the states if you want to spare your kids the shit show that’s coming. But, tough times make or break people, so I dunno.
I do not think there is anywhere to run to if you want to avoid the coming shit show. The US is the supreme power in the world, in economic, military, and diplomatic terms. If things go south in the US, it will ripple out throughout the rest of the world. The current world order, for both good and ill, is upheld by the US, and if the US falters the ensuing world order is likely to be worse. To update an old phrase, if the US sneezes the rest of the world will catch a cold.
Back in the aughts, some ZH commenters were pushing SE Asia.
Seasteading is the life for me. But not like that crappy water world stuff. And definitely not like those cruise ships. And not like that crappy Tom Hanks movie with the soccer ball costar. Well, never mind.
The world cemetery is filled with indispensable nations. Yet, we still have billions of humans on Earth. The same battle that always existed will exist after America falls.
Hey guys (and mythical gals), just scanned through the firefox “recommended” articles, and the press is really pushing the “White Supremacist” “Coup” “Insurrection” narrative. It is really disgusting. As such i figure you freaks might need a pick me up.
So grow the up and buckle up butter cup.
Watching the Capitol being treated like the green zone in Baghdad warms my heart.
That is some great stuff, Derpetologist. Thanks.
I needed some god derp, so thanks, Derp!

Sorry to hear and I hope your doge is ok. I found 2 of the 3 missing episodes of the rock and roll thing, I’m uploading them to the cloud storage now.

Uploaded, here’s a link.
Thanks!! Can’t wait to binge the crap out of it!
Foucault’s Boomerang.
I assume I’m not alone in needing some escapism from this shitty reality. To whit, here is the greatest British gangster film ever made – The Long Good Friday
Imma guess it’s a buncha cuntes shooting each other with nonexistent guns and calling each other cunts while smoking fags. None of whom are worried about getting hurt by the nonexistent bullets, because they have excellent (and free) healthcare.
Nah… it’s from 1980. They actually address some of the UK gun law foolishness – the mob boss hands out the firearms to his men personally and reminds them that if caught by Old Bill, they are to claim the permit is in the mail and they only use them to scare the pigeons off the roof of the caravan. There are some IRA bombings though, and a young Pierce Brosnan as a gay Irish assassin.
Imma watch that. Thanks.
Never mind, I’ve seen it. It was pretty good. Maybe one more time won’t hurt, it’s been a while.
Better than Snatch?
Or Sexy Beast?
Thanks lo, will have to check that out. Lock Stock, Snatch, Layer Cake, Bank Job, and Sexy Beast were all excellent Brit gangster flicks. Someone earlier mentioned the newest Ritchie movie was good, will have to find it.
And that episode of Black Books when Fran falls in with a mafia front and Bernard and Manny are terrorized by a mobster.
You’re most welcome. If you like the older stuff, check out Brighton Rock; a 1948 Boulting Brothers production with Richard Attenborough and William Hartnell – https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039220/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_69
Cool, will do. Yup like the old stuff as well.
Ha! I recomended that this morning. Great minds and all that shit.
Derp, I LOLd at the first paragraph. I read it to Mr Mojeaux, who also LOLd.
Well done Derp. I do wonder how crazy our self destruction looks from the outside.
The weird thing is that large parts of it are world-wide.
I didn’t see that coming.
The Japanese have this habit of saying, “Samui, samui!” (it’s cooold!) whenever they go inside on a winter day. Growing up in Northern Wisconsin we never said that. If someone did, we’d have looked at them like, “No shit.”
So yeah, it’s fucking cold now in terms of culture and politics. No shit. Bundle up and take the wannabe tyrants on.

And if I were a meme-maker, it would inspire me to make a meme on the subject: on the left a picture of the House with Congress assembled captioned “Governments overthrown by these people: N” (where N is whatever number it is – 20, 30?), and on the right a picture of the House with the rioters assembled captioned “Governments overthrown by these people: 0”.

I thought you meant dating in the eighties, at first. SRSLY, that is cool as all hell.
STOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPakbghLe38
Lookit those tires!
those planes are awesome,
I’m dithering on what my next build will be, after I finish my RV-10, which will be a traveling machine–will it be a STOL backcountry airplane, or a fast aerobat? I love the STOL and backcountry planes, but here in PA, there aren’t too many places in the backcountry to land that are maintained enough to be consistently available or safe. Out West, there are a lot more backcountry flyers who have banded together to maintain backcountry strips.
Maybe a Bearhawk then? STOL-ish, and still cruises at 150 mph. How far along is your RV? I’ve been dreaming of building an RV14 when I get a bigger garage. Or maybe a -9 if they move to final-sized holes.
I have definitely considered the Bearhawk–it looks like a great airplane for the kinds of things I’d like to do. The RV is just shy of the canoe stage–I am getting close to installing the side skins on the fuselage. Wings are nearly complete except for systems installation.
I think either the 9 or the 14 would be good choices. The 9 is a very versatile design and can go many places (see user “Vlad” on the Van’s Airforce forums–he’s taken his 9A places some wouldn’t consider possible). The wing on the 9 is supposed to be a great compromise–all around a very good airplane. The 14 has the same airfoil as the 10, but the wings are one or two bays shorter. I haven’t flown in either a 14 or a 9, but both seem like great options.
There’s a lot of talk about Van’s possibly getting into the backcountry high wing market, but they’d have a high bar to clear to beat the Bearhawk. Even the Rans S-21 looks quite good. The advantage Van’s would have would be ease of kit construction, probably.
I don’t know if they’ve already moved the -9 to final size holes, but they did that for the -10 last year (of course, I already have purchased all the kits that would benefit from that feature).
They’re using your patriotism to handcuff you while they bust batons on your skull.
My skull is quite intact, maybe you read to much Grauniad…..
Jokes on them. I gave away my patriotism a long time ago.
Good. “I’m gonna stay with my husband who has beaten the shit out of me for decades cuz he was a really good boyfriend in high school.”
There’s a difference between being loyal to the ideal of the America and believing in the US government. The government can die in a fire, but I still love Americans.
Sure. I swear allegiance to no govt. There are many pockets of decent culture in the US. There is nothing good coming out of DC.
Agreed. I wasn’t joking about the ‘government can die in a fire’ but I’d shed tears aplenty for the majority of the people I’ve met across the USA, and I hope it never comes to that. I like this place, and I’d rather not see it entirely trashed just yet.
It’s the internet and the purge has begun. Of course you were joking.
Uh yes you are, of course, correct.
I like my neighbors (mostly). I’ll help them out when they need it (I’m the guy with all the tools). I’m somewhat proud of the beautiful city I live in (though I have serious questions about where my tax dollars are going and why the pot holes are so bad). I like the idea of this county (North Shore of Lake Superior). But they seem to squander even more of my tax dollars. State level is just fucked. They steal my money to build stadiums and concert halls in the big city. National level is even more fucked. I seriously question what good our military has done in Afghanistan or Somalia or all the other shit-holes we have invaded/made safe for democracy. I wonder why the US maintains over 5,000 active military bases around the world. I have no disrespect for the many Glib veterans who served, but I wonder if their service did any good.
Patriotism is the cheapest of emotions.
Get out of my head.
Did me plenty of good. Never would have met my wife without the Corps
“I have no disrespect for the many Glib veterans who served, but I wonder if their service did any good.”
I don’t wonder at all. Just need to drive through the nicer areas of Loudon and Fairfax counties, where the defense contractor executives live. Lots of very nice houses with nice cars in the driveway.
Eh not all of use got a cushy MilComplex job…but yeah, it makes you wonder.
I mostly like my neighbors. I’ve visited over half the states in the US in the past three years, and I’ve gotten along great with the majority of the campers I’ve met. Almost all of my family, immediate and extended, is based within the US. I’m not giving up on this country yet, even if I think we’re ruled by idiots. My love of my fellow countrymen has nothing to do with my total lack of respect for its institutions.

That is something that I have been rolling around in my head of late. I watched the interview with Q Shaman and the guy sounded like an honest to god hippy, if you were to snatch an average ding-bat out of Woodstock circa 1969 and swap a few adjectives around, they would be nearly indistinguishable. As they say: The more things change the more they stay the same.
I’ll say this. The left back then were way more hardcore. They would rob a bank and kill some cops to buy bomb making materials to blow up the courthouse so they could break the Black Panthers out of prison and THEN overthrow the government with the hieresses they kidnapped and brainwashed. Not fucking around, they were.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels > Snatch
Snatch is good, but the problem is that the main protagonists never interact with the diamond plotline until the end of the movie, and even then it’s completely by accident. Makes it a bit disjointed.
LS+2SB, on the other hand, does a great job of having all the various plot threads revolving completely around the actions of the protagonists, even when they’re completely unaware of what’s going on.
Plus Pikey Brad Pitt.

I just read that Macaulay Culkin is saying the cameo appearance by Donald Trump in Home Alone 2 ‘must be deleted and memory holed.

Im trying to properly put this thing back together. After too many beers overnight, Im like- “meh- 4 in the corners should hold it”
Morning, Glibs
‘sup pimp
Morning, UCS.
How are things this mroning? TT doing better?
Yes he is – thanks for asking.
I’m dreading work a bit. I have to post payroll in a hurry, since it’s a day late after the holiday. The good news is that we’re getting an “incentive” because the CU did well the second half of last year. The bad news is that I can’t enter each employee’s incentive until AFTER I export last week’s approved timesheets into the payroll system, where I also have to enter painstaking detail about the FIVE (out of about 85) employees who are applying to used COVID-related time off last pay period. And there’s always a mountain of mail after a Monday holiday.
In short, today’s my Hell Day at work, but after this I think the worst of my Hell Month is over.
Look on the bright side – tomorrow should be easy by comparison.
Yup – AND TT has his neuro appointment tomorrow to be checked and (we hope) cleared for driving again.
Good luck.
In other news, started reading the first of the trilogy one of my sisters gave me for belated Christmas (which we finally did Saturday.) Not bad, but I’m not thrilled with the use of present tense and, for one of the multiple plot lines, SECOND person. I find it gimmicky.
Got any more drafts to send?
Well, I have the start of the extended version of Omnirunner. I’ve got a few sub 10k pieces.
Where did your copy of “On Unknown Shores” leave off?
Oh, na dpresent tense second person just needles all of my irritation points with regards to tense and pov in storytelling. I would not get past the first sentence.
The last I have from OUS is Svetlana explaining to Dug why she took up painting.
Okay, so I have 3k more words there where Dug visits a library.
That sounds a little familiar, but it may have been in an e-mail my rudimentary search just now didn’t locate.
I discussed the library visit in glib comments, so… *shrug* it could be either.
I just took a pile of empty cans out…its chilly, homes
Yup. And at last check, I’ll need to brush a dusting of snow off my car. Still beats hell out of ice.
Twerking for MLK day.
I’m gonna need to stock up on liquor for 2021.
