“The Georgia Senate races!” the hat squealed, flying across the Oval Office like a crippled frisbee.
“How are you flying?” the hair called from Donald’s head.
The hat landed softly on a credenza before answering. “That last hot secretary. She’s already being fired, so I had Donald drop me off in her office chair.”
“So like was it classy? Was it a classy experience?” Donald asked.
“I think she has IBS,” the hat said. “I struggled to get out of there and she found me and threw me back in here.”
“So you were more ‘molesting office staff” than ‘flying?’” the hair asked cruelly.
“Stinky trim is better than no trim at all,” the hat shot back.
“I cannot support that statement,” Donald said, not looking away from the television.
“The GOP might lose the Senate,” the hat said.
“Good,” Donald grumbled.
“Good? How is that good?” the hair asked.
“They won’t vote for me, they get nothing. They won’t fight voter fraud with me, they get nothing. They won’t decertify the election, they get nothing!” Donald said.
“And 2024!” the hat crowed.
“Yes, 2024,” Donald said. “Let them stew in four years of total Democrat control and see how they like it.”
“64th-dimensional chess, muthafucka!” the hat yelled.
“They will BEG me to run again,” Donald growled. “From hell’s heart, I stab at thee! With my last breath, I spit at thee!”
“Wrath of Khan, muthafucka!” the hat yelled.
“Moby Dick,” the hair said.
“Wrath of Khan!” the hat said. “The DVD is up in the Residence! I’ll show you the scene!”
“It’s originally from Moby Dick!” the hair said.
“Donald, pull up YouTube,” the hat said. “Donald. YouTube, Donald. Donald. Donalddonalddonalddonald.”
“Khan is quoting Moby Dick, you illiterate whale turd,” the hair said.
“YOUTUBE!” the hat screamed. “AVENGE ME!”
““Khan is quoting Mody Dick, you illiterate whale turd,” the hat said.”
I did not know that, or who MODY dick is…
Modi dick is what he was tryna say, I think

A cheery thought from Thomas Sowell:
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/13/thomas-sowell-joe-biden-win-could-signal-point-of-/
Sorry, Tom, but the point of no return happened long ago. If the government magically went all GOP tonight, we’re not digging out of the debt and all the other government imposed economic boat anchors dragging behind our society. We’re not fixing the excesses of the sexual revolution that destroyed the urban poor family. We’re not undoing the public education system.
The point of no return was FDR, at the very latest.
Ow, my nuts…
Yeah, after Wickard it was really just a matter of time.
As was reiterated by a couple folks n a previous post, 1863 is a possibility but I think it was 1913.
The income tax is only 1% and it’s levied only on the 1%. This will never affect you.
I’m partial to 1913. I think that the Civil War set the stage for the Progressive Era to happen, but it didn’t guarantee that the Progressive Era happen. Woody Wilson being elected put the nail in the coffin of dual sovereignty.
Changing to popular vote in senate and creating the means to steal other people’s money sealed it
That said, nothing is permanent. But the speed it happened is amazing.
The fall of empires tends to be permanent. And we have reached the point of no return, where we revert to the historical norm of poverty and lack of freedom.
Touché. But another empire will grow in its place.

ab intus corrumpit, as it was, so shall it be…..
That’s what gets me. A lot of the idiocy coming from the left is based off of magical thinking. We’ll switch to solar with no interruption of power, we’ll let people out of prison with no effect on crime rates, we can borrow money forever (that’s both parties) etc. They’re too secure and are unaware the US can fall or be impoverished like every other empire.
In their fantasyland, only the rich will get poor.
There is a pervasive and unstated belief in the fallacy “It can’t happen here.”
Yes, yes it can.
When you look at the things the Dems are proposing, they are playing for keeps here. Stacking the court, and granting statehood to territories to give them a permanent Senate majority. I fully expect the new Covid voting rules to be cemented in many places. The mass mail in voter fraud and ballot harvesting they brought are going to become the new normal.
Yep. When you’re convinced someone is *literally* Hitler, it’s your moral obligation to get rid of him, and your moral obligation to make sure nobody like him ever gets near the reigns of power. This is a moral crusade to them.
And they are blissfully unaware that the things they are doing makes them Hitler.

The tweets in the article below the main bit are terrifying.
Some of our friends think Democrats couldn’t blow up the 60-vote legislative filibuster rule with a mere 50 votes. Their confidence hangs on West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, who says he supports the filibuster. But imagine the political and media pressure on Mr. Manchin if Republicans use the filibuster to block Joe Biden’s agenda. He’s always been a loyal party man when it really matters.
If the filibuster stays, Mr. Biden will need to compromise to get GOP votes for an infrastructure bill, new ObamaCare subsidies or repealing Section 230 on tech liability. A public option on health care is probably out of reach, as would be much of his climate agenda.
But if the filibuster goes, so do bipartisan restraints. Statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico become possible, with four new Senate seats to cement a Democratic majority. Mr. Biden’s aggressive union agenda has a chance, including overtime pay mandates and easier organizing of franchise chains. So do nationwide mandates for ballot harvesting and mail-in voting, a ban on arbitration in business contracts, price controls on drugs, huge subsidies for green energy and perhaps a carbon tax. We could go on.
It is literally/patently unconstitutional for DC to be a state. And the other places (now they are floating Guam [before it tips over, I assume…]) have to apply, ratify the US Constitution and be accepted by the existing states (I don’t recall what the vote margin has to be).
Democrats will have complete control of the federal government for two full years.
They can pack the court.
They can end the wars.
They can cut the (monthly) checks.
They can guarantee healthcare.
They can forgive student and medical debt.
If they don’t, you know who to blame.
Lol. You moron.
My prediction is they won’t even pass a budget and appropriations on time.

Any constitution is only as useful as the respect shown to it. It took a lot of…creative…readings of the constitution to get the government we currently have.
“I don’t recall what the vote margin has to be”
I think it’s just presented as a bill in Congress and can be passed by a simple majority.
“If the filibuster stays, Mr. Biden will need to compromise to get GOP votes for…repealing Section 230 on tech liability.”
Well, I don’t think that will be a problem since a whole bunch of GOPers were leading the charge for repealing Section 230.
It is literally/patently unconstitutional for DC to be a state. And the other places (now they are floating Guam [before it tips over, I assume…]) have to apply, ratify the US Constitution and be accepted by the existing states (I don’t recall what the vote margin has to be).
Once the Dems get done packing the court, anything they want to do will be ruled constitutional.
All that is needed is to redraw DC into a much smaller area, such as the White House and Congress or some other federal properties. The rest becomes the territory of DC2 and is promptly admitted as a state.
That’s if they actually cared about the legalism.

We have a generation of people who want to be eccentric but don’t have the funding to back up that lifestyle.

Same here. Its utter bullshit. There are many things that are out of reach for everybody. Different things for each person, but still out of reach.
Take the most trite example: President. Out of each generation of millions, only a few will be President. Far more than the number who want to be, and far more even than the number who devote their lives to it. Just not gonna happen.

Dumb question but for GA – aren’t all senate elections statewide? So why would there be varying numbers for each senator? Or are they only allowed to vote for 1?
They’re voting for both, but you have independent voters voting their conscience for the best person splitting their vote.
Or, you know, different vote totals needed to be manufactured for each candidate.
And you have idiotic voters who don’t know what they’re voting for splitting their vote.
Repealing section 230 is just about the last thing the Democrats want, isn’t it?
I thought conservatives (for lack of a better word) wanted repeal so they can sue over deplatforming and editing unmutual content.
Pure partisanship. If the left was being deplatformed and banned, they would be howling for Zuckerdorsey’s blood.
I’m more worried they’re going to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. There are leftist orgs with big purses waiting to sue gun manufacturers into nothing.
That’s a given. Then they’ll also be able to sue automakers out of existence for destroying the planet, chemical corporations for pollutiing the ecosystem and eventually it’ll be paradise, all thanks to the Plaintiff’s bar.
But if the filibuster goes, so do bipartisan restraints.

We have some amazing graduate students in Anthropology that are holding a virtual Town Hall tomorrow, Nov 19 4:30 p.m. to discuss future directions and goals for a BIPOC Anthropology Group (open to non-anthro BIPOC majors and minors).
To ensure this event is a safe space, organizers are asking that you reach out to them for the Zoom link. An important message from them: “We kindly remind all that you respond to this space [sic] is only for those who identify as a BIPOC individuals in this department. While we appreciate white students may want to join to learn more about the BIPOC perspective, we ask they respect this space as a chance for BIPOC students to come together as BIPOC. We cannot hide our skin color, and for this reason we already navigate the University of Florida as BIPOC surrounded by a majority white student body and faculty body. We ask white students to respect that this is a space where BIPOC students can come together without the need to perform any emotional or mental labor to explain their experiences as BIPOC. Additionally, we acknowledge colorism exists within our own BIPOC communities and therefore we kindly ask all BIPOC students to be mindful that we will be a diverse group of BIPOC students, and it is expected we will respect differences in experiences due to colorism.”

Scotland First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says President Trump wouldn’t be allowed to visit Scotland to golf during its pandemic lockdown, responding to speculation that Trump might travel to a Scottish golf resort rather than attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
“We are not allowing people to come in to Scotland without an essential purpose right now and that would apply to him, just as it applies to anybody else,” Sturgeon said after being asked about Trump on Tuesday. “Coming to play golf is not what I would consider to be an essential purpose.”
——-
As for the chance that Trump might use an international trip to one of his golf resorts to avoid the handover of power, Sturgeon said she has not been told of any of Trump’s travel plans.
“I hope and expect that, as everybody hopes – well, as everybody expects, not everybody necessarily will hope – that the travel plan immediately that he has is to exit the White House,” Sturgeon said. “But beyond that, I don’t know.”
Is Scotland even a country? I thought it was just a suburb. It doesn’t seem very… essential.
You’ve just made an enemy for life!

Twitter is taking after NPR and making sure you know _how_ to think about what is going on.
There’s only one thing I can’t figure out.
By all accounts, the Democrats are planning to rule hard, to push pretty much their base’s wish list. How the hell do they think they’re going to be able to do it? I mean, even if you suspend disbelief and say the Democrats’ win is on the up-and-up, it’s hardly any kind of a massive electoral victory, any kind of a grant of a mandate. The opposition party increased its share of the offices. Hell, even a sizeable portion of the people who voted for them didn’t vote for them on policy. If they try ruling hard, I think it blows up in their faces. I suspect in a big way.
The problem is, there are ways of instituting this stuff so it sticks around for a long time. Take a look at Obamacare.
Obamacare is still here and is never going away.
Anything they pass in the next two years will be here forever.
Anyone with a seat in the house or senate is just cannon fodder. No big deal.
I’m not necessarily talking about elections. You have people literally storming the Capitol as we speak. And my guess is that a sizeable portion of them have never been to a protest in their lives. Now, imagine a public that is more sympathetic to the people storming the Capitol than the government.
We can’t know how many people are sympathetic to those storming the Capitol. Most of them won’t ever open their mouths.
Also, moderate Muslims who are sympathetic to Islamic terrorists do the same thing–keep their mouths shut.
I have no point.
I don’t have to imagine.

Yeah; these are the people who thought Rand Paul deserved to have his ribs broken.
That’s your brain on CNN.
I’m taking the 72 hour rule on this one. It could be really bad. But the Media has also done this with every right wing protest since the Tea Party.
No, there’s video. No matter what really happens, all we will hear is the worst of it.
We’ll know if we see black smoke rising from the Captiol soon.
It could be really bad.
So is smoke rising from the Capitol really bad, or is the lack of smoke really bad? I’m torn.
Well, it’s a really nice building. I’d hate to see it damaged.
It means a new president has been chosen?
Damnit, too slow AND a better response.
It will mean they chose a new pope.
You mean it will have become a mostly peaceful protest?
I think that would make it an intensely peaceful protest, following the BLM protest that was described as “peaceful protest intensified” after the molotovs started flying.
They reached the chamber of the Capitol building. Capitol police are aiming guns at the patriots while instructing the politicians to lie on the floor and put on gas masks.
You can watch the video for yourself:

Not yet seeing this being described as “mostly peaceful” by CNN yet. I’m sure it’s coming soon.
I want to respond with ,”Didn’t you motherfuckers burn down half the major cities in the US and assaulted people who where perceived as being against BLM?”
It’s mind boggling that rioting and destroying cities are fine and dandy if done under the guise of social justices but now since shit is being fucked up by the “wrong” people, we need enforce the law. Get the fuck out of here. This is why people are starting to not give a shit anymore and are doing stuff like storming the Capitol or burning down half of Downtown Chicago.
Obviously. A few days ago they were claiming that “right-wing extremists” (defined as broadly as possible) had killed eleventy million people while Antifa (defined very narrowly) were good boys and girls who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
This will be mentioned every time Antifa do anything at all for years. It’ll be crammed into every WaPo and NYT article and it’ll be used as a pretext for everything the Democrats want to do,
“WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?!?!”
Because Trump supporters have been watching the antifa videos?

Thomas Jefferson: “the people can not be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong [. . .] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.”
Dishonest cunte is dishonest and a cunte.
When Black people loot toilet paper from a Wal Mart, the authorities will start spraying everyone with rubber bullets and running them over with military tanks.
A bunch of suspected white supremacists are storming the US Capitol building right now, & cops are using pepper spray
I don’t think words mean what you think they mean.
I agree, cops suck.
But, but military tanks!
White people are white supremacists, by definition.
Don’t you even critical race studies, bro?
I support the DC Autonomous Free Zone.
What do you mean it’s not the same?
One was utopia destroyed by the powers that be. The other is fascism. Can’t you tell the difference between violent acts?
I’m in the middle of reading, The Anatomy of Revolution. I can’t tell if what’s happening (assuming this is the tip of an iceberg) is *the* revolution or a counterrevolution.
Counter-coup.
Yes, thank you.
“Become ungovernable”. Looks like it’s the turn for the right on commies to resist.
Non commies not right on commies. Pinche autocorrect.
Pinochet autocorrect?
I read that as Pinochet autocorrect.

My Magpul iron sights delivered at lunch today so I got my co-witness dialed in with the red to. Timely?

Oh shit:
Wheel chair?
Not a stretcher?
I’m going to have to be skeptical.
I don’t know what that means.
Well you have all the knowledge of the internet at your finger tips…so…
It’s called Glibertarians.
So the glib only flows one way?
I share my knowledge… whether people want it or not.
Look like just a troll.

He must be looking to get himself banned.
Trump supporters should have started doing this 2 months ago. Perhaps, it would have intimidated certain persons by now.
From twitter:
I’mma Leechblock FB, I think. Probably also not a good time to re-release my updated first book since it has politics. Not the “right” kind.
In Pelosi’s office.
Pretty surreal, eh?
Is security really so lax? I find this hard to believe.
Anyway, someone should copy everything on that computer.
Police officers are holding them steps away from the Senate chamber, which is locked. Senators are inside. I see a few confederate flags.
And?
Somebody was able to corner one of the TEAM RED senators in an elevator during the Kavanaugh hearings.
But you have to wonder, what would have happened if he was black /all of twitter comments.
There’s always some idiot…
Meh.
A flag with the Rebel Alliance symbol is waaaay to cringy. And if you just had a flag with the word “Rebel” on it, people would just think you were a big fan of Rebel Wilson.
I think we have a White Indian sighting!
That’s not how i imagined Gamboling to look like
He is technically free to gambol about the capital, so he finally got his wish.
He’s on the floor now!
God, the face of the revolution is wearing a coonskin cap with horns sticking out of the side of it.

A great shot to remember that time before he was in jail, I’m afraid.
That’s. Awesome.
Legendary!
Good, good! Let your hate flow!
Like a mountain stream?
LOL!
Just got a text from my mom asking if I’m at work or DC.
Are you posting from Pelosi’s office PC?
She knows you well. 😀
The balkanization of the country continues apace.
When it comes to elections, the appearance of impropriety _is_ defacto impropriety. That’s _why_ you’re supposed to have a secure electoral system. Not just to prevent fraud, but to make it clear just how hard fraud is to pull off. When you devise a completely insecure election system that could quite easily be abused by fraud, the claims of “there was no fraud” are hollow.
Why does the appearance of a secure electoral system matter? Well, have a look.
Jeff Deist put it this way: Joe Biden may have been victorious, but he didnt’ win the election. Winning means gaining the legitimacy, and the legitimacy has been shattered for a lot of people.
Which would’ve been true if the election had been as pure as the driven snow. The death-struggle for power between the two parties is the ONLY thing.
What does a dog do when they catch that car they were barking and chasing after?

At least when the right riots, they go after the government.
They have insurance.
/Am I doing this right?
See the first reply on the thread.
Doh!
I was just sharing to let you know that, yes, you’re doing it w.
Doing it right
Oh no! I’m sure this person had the same concern when people tried to burn down the Federal Courthouse in Portland.
That was my question.
Yup. And since when do these peeps care about property destruc – oh, I get it. It is their beloved state and not some plebe with a small business.
Yeah, but they didn’t GAF about a federal courthouse, so, no transitive power here!
Right thinkers are always heroes. Wrong thinkers are never heroes.

I haven’t a clue. If you happen to figure it out, by all means let me know.

I’m sure the Trumpistas be allowed to just leave like they were.
Well I hope i get shipped to one of the camps near by. Maybe i’ll even get a pass to go home every once in a while.

They got to that idiot a long time ago. He’s just a neocon who’s pissed that Bush isn’t still in charge.
Capitol police are aiming guns at the patriots while instructing the politicians to lie on the floor and put on gas masks.
I’m not gonna lie.
I laughed out loud.
Guess we will see once the guard is deployed
The Defense Department has received a request from the US Capitol Police for additional DC National Guard forces, but a decision has not been made whether to send resources…
I opened Facebook for about 10 seconds. Big mistake. If I were in the mood to lose a bunch of friends, I’d copy and paste “I don’t know WHERE they get the idea that they can break into a government building without any consequences.”
And Chucky is probably pulling out a folder that says “Final Solution” to present to the Congress once he gains the gavel.
Oh, I do so relish moments when people who do nothing but bitch about the Constitution start getting huffy about someone else not respecting the Constitution.
I have no idea why this is happening……after a year in which violent mobs were applauded for their rioting by the DC establishment.
It’s just such a mystery. Surely no one warned, over and over, that tacitly encouraging leftist political violence would eventually lead to rightist political violence.
No kidding. Everyone knows it’s fine to punch a Nazi in the face.
That will be washed away…whataboutism…not the same…its different…its nuanced.
There is no leftist political violence.
I guess it’s hard to learn from history when everything you “know” is in meme form.
The politicians are going to succeed in bringing sympathy to their side. That’s what’s so sick & fucked about this whole situation.
Look, we need to let the plebs have some diversion.
This event will further drive a wedge between the left and the right. The left, which is taking over the reins of government, will use this as an excuse to follow the Virginia model to cram through their agenda within weeks of getting power.
The right will be emboldened to go after state and local officials.
This will make the 60s look quaint.
Hey, remember when leftists took over the Wisconsin statehouse because they were mad that Scott Walker won an election, chained themselves to doors and shit like that? I don’t recall any outrage from the media about that.
See my response above..it will all be written as whataboutism…not the same…its different…its nuanced.
Forgot about that. I’ll keep it in mind for when the gf inevitably tries to throw todays events in my face later.
Drove back from a Dr.’s appomntment.
NPR wxmxn is claiming they’ve “never seen such violence” and “these protesters, if you can even call them that — really you could call them domestic terrorists.”
God Bless America!
Praise Kek!
And I knew that SF’s writing had power but I didn’t know it was quite this potent.
*honk**honk*
Can’t we just declare these disturbances non-essential, and send everyone home?
Hard drives taken out of the Capital Building by citizens.
This is getting good.
See now, THAT might turn out to be very interesting.
Oh shit!
Somebody has some sense.
The doors don’t lock? Had a field trip there in HS and I recall the doors to the offices being massive and heavy.
The fun thing is how this is rapidly getting spun. I think i can hear Toobin fapping at his computer.
Trump told these people to do this. Even though he’s right now tweeting about non violence and respecting the police.
Hats just a dog whistle
That’s Pelosi on her OnlyFans.
Boog?
Moog?
Well, now is as good a time to strike my Fellow Glibs. I am hereby declaring the Mighty Protectorate of Leon-ia. We open our arms to accept you my fellow glibs. All that is required is that you accept the good an beneficient protection of leon.

Looks like Capitol police just shot a young patriot in the neck
https://twitter.com/TaylerUSA/status/1346913549898149888
Curious – they never shot anyone who was trying to burn down a federal courthouse.
Sucks, if true.
Also falls into the “play stupid games” bucket.
The fact that douchebags in Portland didn’t get shot storming federal property is no guarantee that you won’t get shot breaking into the Capitol.
Indeed.
It does, and not knowing the particulars it is hard to reach any sort of meaningful conclusion regarding this particular. It is however, hard for me to not sympathize with the protesters.
I think it’s more akin to the guy standing in Tiananmen Square. They are certainly risking their lives… but I wouldn’t call it a stupid game.
I can’t square “standing in the path of a tank attacking protestors” to “breaking into a federal building to… I don’t know what”.
Tank Man was appealing to the base humanity of the tank crew in order to protect other protestors.
Breaking into the Capitol isn’t some sort of civil disobedience, regardless of how sympathetic I may be.
I’m with you on this one.
Breaking into the Capitol isn’t some sort of civil disobedience
That’s exactly what it is. Consent of ruled can revoked by the ruled.
Consent of ruled can revoked by the ruled.
Can’t we just cut the fringe off the flag?
War and rebellion is a young mans game, and so almost always a stupid one.
And passively getting sent off to the camps or lined up against the wall when your turn comes is an old man’s game?
Probably
No bueno.

That is indeed interesting. I wonder how often they rotate the color scheme.
The guy to the left of candy stripes is going to get a nasty slide bite.
Faction identification?
Why has’t this just been declared the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” and let everyone get on with planting their gardens and haveing their slam poetry sessions and such?
I’m sure there’s plenty of drugs there already.
Just swing by whichever Kennedy is around and ask them if they are holding.
Trump and Pence just broke up.
Trump’s an idiot.

Earlier today Mrs. TOK’s phone went black and emitted a puff of smoke and a whiff of ozone. She called for a replacement, and due to an issue with their inventory system it might not be here until next week. I think it was the Good Lord doing her a favor by keeping her off Facebook.
I glanced at my account, but I’m refraining.
I am however, building a list of “to be blocked”

Damn, I could’ve sworn we were in Tijuana.
So… Do you think the government comes down hard on this? and if so what are the repercussions of that hard quelling?
Civil War – and I’m not exaggerating.
Yes, the government comes down hard.
Repercussions on the government for coming down hard? Probably none in the short term.
I want to know what the discussion among the GOP establishment is right now.
“How much grifting we gonna do? A shit-ton!”
or
“What are your handlers telling you to do?”
The only two GOPe discussions I can imagine.
They are back in the easy job they love most. Do nothing and appear to care about shit.
Yep. The ramifications? Less federalized setup, more top down federal governing. National lockdown starting the last week of January/first week of February.
Yeah that ain’t happening. I could see these dumbasses try though.
Man, oh man! I sleep the morning away after a night at work and wake up to a delightful shitshow in DC. Since my preferred societal outcomes have no chance of even being suggested by anyone in power, I just picked up two bottles of 14 year old Oban; one of now, one to put away and forget about for a decade or so.
I’m a bit disappointed that no senators were harmed.
You are a wise man.
I never drink during the week, but I might tonight.
Maybe we should have a Zoom.
