“Desanctimonious is announcing today,” Donald said from his faux-gold hot-tub.
“It’s a terrible nickname, Donald,” the hair said, lounging on the bubble and jets control pad.. “Desanctimonious? I mean, what does it mean?”
“It means he’s sanctimonious,” the hat snapped.
“How is he sanctimonious? In what way has he expressed sanctimony?” the hair pressed.
“He thinks he’s better than me,” Donald said darkly. “He’s a traitor. I raised that boy. I gave him everything he has. And he stabbed me in the back.”
“But he still needs a better nickname. That one is hard to say,” the hair groused. The hat fluttered down from his hanging cage and landed on the hair with a soft phwhomp.
“DeSatan!” the hat said as the hair struggled to get away. “DeSalubrious!”
“That’s even worse!” came the muffled cry of the hair.
“And Eloi,” Donald said.
“ELON!” the hair screamed.
“Billionaires are supposed to stick together. I invited that African sonofabitch to the Oval Office. He had a great time. Just the best. Very productive meeting. He wouldn’t give me an emerald from his mine, so I figured out he’s cheap. Wanted to talk about electric cars. I told him I already had the classiest carts on any golf course in the entire world.”
Donald stretched and farted, sulfurous bubbles roiling the surface of the tub. The hat and the hair both tumbled to the lead-impregnated tiles on the floor.
“I should have bought Twitter when I had the chance. Pocket change,” Donald grumbled.
“You’ll beat them both, Donald,” the hat said. “You’re unstoppable!”
The hair coughed in embarrassment.
“The election was stolen!” the hat yelled. “We’ll flood the states with election watchdogs! They won’t get away with it again!”
“Yes, yes,” Donald said, farting again. “I must be president. I will make them all pay.”
“I’m tired of being the voice of reason,” the hair said quietly. He fisted himself into a tight ball and rolled under the cabana’s sofa.
“Go on, run away, you coward!” the hat called after him.
“The MARGO Nation will rise!’ Donald said.
“MAGA Nation,” the hat corrected.
“What did I say?”
“MARGO.”
“But isn’t that how it’s pronounced? M-A-G-A… MARGO, right?”
“Do you see a word that starts with R on me?” the hat asked. “Do you see an O?”
The hair laughed under the couch until he started coughing.
If you start a rant and get called away, it ends up on a dead thread. I feel ranty and I want company, so I am bouncing it forward.
That poll of most popular political figure poll that is topped by Elon Musk is very important. It happens even though he is not overtly a political figure- he is more of a celebrity who shares his opinions on lots of things, including politics.
More importantly, the left has been running a full court press on image destruction with him ever since the pandemic began and he complained about keeping his California factory closed even though he had all sorts of protections in place that were measurably working.
And that campaign is working. Among the woke of the internet and the press, he is more of a target than even Trump. There are entire subreddits devoted to hating him.
And yet…. he is the most respected political figure in the US
So I went looking for that poll, so I could properly quote it…. and the first 5 results were hit pieces touting a new poll that talks about a new poll of brand respect that says that Tesla has “taken a huge hit” in tumbling 50 spots in the “closely watched poll” of most respected brands.
For years Tesla shorts paid millions to push negative stories about Tesla…. and it failed spectacularly.
But the national propaganda machine writ large? Are they successful?
Hard to say… they lie in polls as easily as they lie on TV.
We all saw that poll of the Democrat primary race…. that conveniently left Kennedy off the list, despite polling over 20% for weeks prior. And the media pushed that poll for days.
I wonder where this leads. The press is so out of touch they all declared Musk to be a white supremacist nazi Klansman as he joins DiSantis for his announcement. Yet he is the most popular figure in the US.
I wonder if we have crossed the line. Trust has been broken for some time. But this is something new. There are millions of useful idiots who will absolutely believe anything they is told to believe. The rest of us have passed through disbelief and anger is building.
How that plays out? In a world where the faith in institutions like the FBI and the IRS and the CIA has been broken, and the trust that the press is not feeding us government propaganda is broken? I have no idea. They are attacking faith in elections from both ends… they attack faith in the police directly (defund the police) and indirectly (ordering them to stand down on protests by BLM and climate change, yet stalk and attack conservative parents)… how does that play out?
Society is an illusion in many ways. It is all faith based. We have faith that money will be worth something to exchange for goods. We have faith that judges will be fair. We have faith that police will catch thr criminals.
If that faith is gone? People do their own criminal justice.
A good chunk of the left openly talks about destroying capitalism and the government so that we can usher in a communist utopia.
It sounds like the rantings of a guy under the bridge wearing a tinfoil hat…. but they have us right on the edge.
Expand on this a little and it would make a damn fine article.
Indeed.
Thanks. But if an article falls on the internet and Google, Facebook, Instagram, Bing, NBC, CBS, ABC, the NYT, the WaPo and all the rest insist that it doesn’t exist…. does it make an impact?
It certainly won’t make a difference to the cud-chewing masses who follow MSNBC, et als. But it will reach a small number of people who read our site, and some of them may link it to other people.
Amd we can all form a society of like minded individuals in Idaho someplace. Kinda like Alexandria from walking dead.
Working the jet-black pills today, cyto?
A good chunk of the left openly talks about destroying capitalism and the government so that we can usher in a communist utopia.
This won’t turn out the way they think.
One of the interesting things about western secular capitalism is how well it protects itself against religious fanaticism. The progs can destroy capitalism by smothering it with regulation, but they won’t get the happy multicultural ecotopia that they want out of it – they’ll get either ‘Deus Vult’ or ‘Allahu Akbar’.
Did you get a Nats slot? I’m not going to scroll through practiscore looking.
No, I didn’t, goddammit. Way to far down on the waiting list. 🙁
To cheer myself up, I signed up for a Gabe White class in September, and a couple highly regarded matches down in North Carolina this fall. Fuck my credit card.
Shot my first CO classifier – 52%, which is the same as my PROD average.
Not sure what that means.
And: Iron Sight Nationals will probably be easier to get into.
Interesting moment with this u-haul guy at the white house. I saw a good deal of venom directed at Twitter off of that. Because it is an obviously anomalous story, and Twitter is the only place where weirdos can point out glitches in the matrix.
Buy more ammo.
Reload your own, no tracing
The first and most rational response (both of them.)
I need to. Mrs. Dean burned through 1,000 rounds of 5.56 at Gunsite over the weekend.
Had a walk-off first round hit on the 240 yard steel target. And she was first in line for the shot, which you know was much appreciated by everybody behind her in line. Her Tavor bullpup was the only rifle in the class that didn’t have a single malfunction, as well.
Nice. I was out in Utah training with Citizens Defense Research these past four days. Quite an experience. Among all the many intangible improvements in my shooting, I turned in a 0.87 draw from concealment, to a 5-yard 8″ circle, in front of people. Best part is, I wasn’t the only one to pull off 0.8x times.
If any of y’all have the opportunity to train with CDR, for fucks sake do it. They are really that good. I particularly suggest the Contextual Handgun: Public Encounters and Tests and Standards courses, which is what I did.
All that being true, and yet many people are oblivious to it simply because they are just living their lives and the impacts of all that don’t directly affect them, other than inflation more recently.
I pity the Hair.
He thinks he’s better than me
So does every sentient creature.
I read “MARGO” as a portmanteau of MAGA and Mar-a-Lago, perhaps evidence of cognitive decline.
Read the same but I insist there is no cognitive decline
Contraction of Mar-a-Lago?
I will make them all pay.
So now he’s fantasizing he’s Hillary?

I love it.
I’ll move my reply to Cyto’s rant over here:
A good chunk of the left openly talks about destroying capitalism and the government so that we can usher in a communist utopia.
I think they’re looking for Utopian Fascism rather than communism. They’re okay with having nominal private ownership of giant monopolies closely aligned with their political goals via industrial policy and the revolving door.
I think the managerial elite (or whatever the fashionable term is) are OK with the fascist model, but the useful idiots still think they are bringing to life a glorious egalitarian future.
They’re in for a surprise.
Traditional Fascism us way too rooted in nationalism. They were adamant about doing what was best for the ethnic majority and the nation itself. That’s the opposite of the neo-liberals and their managerial class foot soldiers.
I think they are more neo-feudalists. The woke elite will be the new princes, dukes, and counts. The managerial foot-soldiers will be their knights. We’ll be the serfs.
Way too complicated.
The left is driven by greed and wallows in self-pity.
All they want is for the well off to be punished and to reward themselves for causing that punishment.
They latch onto whichever set of weasel words justifies their greed and self-pity.
Envy.
That’s all.
Just envy.
Yup, that’s the word that wasn’t coming to my brain.
I concur, although I don’t think they understand that this is what they are currently building. (Oddly, they think free speech is fascist).
In support of your theory of a shift from corporatism to fascism, NBC had United CEO Scott Kirby on Today yesterday morning, ostensibly to talk about proposed rules making them pay passengers in cash for delays. Savannah Guthrie was all genial and nice as he explained that United is great and it is dangerous to pit financial encentives against safety. No pushback, we are buddies!
Then….. the real reason he is there.
Savannah just wants to ask a quick question at the end… how important is it that the debt ceiling gets raised? How dangerous is it to the economy???
He helpfully explains that the economy is doing great…. now, it might not look good if you are looking at manufacturing or home improvements, but trust him, it is a shift to services and the economy is great. But the economy is on a knife edge. And we could be headed for a mild recession or a soft landing… but not if the debt ceiling is not fixed. Nope… then it would be a disaster. Massive recession, terrible for consumers.
To your point about corporatism morphing to fascism….. CEO delivering smokescreen for the administration while demanding specific policies completely unrelated to their business…. yeah, we are headed there.
It struck me so odd yesterday I was gonna rant about it, but I got pulled away. But I searched out the segment if you want to see the sausage being made.
https://www.today.com/video/how-the-airline-industry-is-preparing-for-the-summer-travel-surge-175912517609
He talks about 4 minutes in what I am characterizing as a qyid pro quo exchange – they let him oppose new mandated charges with a softball setup, and in exchange he says the economy is great if not for icky Republicans screwing around with the debt limit. So any recessions are their fault.
yeah, we are headed there
We’ve been there for quite a while, we’re just refining it.
Because they’re ignorant morons.
Things I don’t like = FASCIST
Things I like = DEMOCRACY
It’s no more complicated than that.
Which is the only way to parse the way the left keeps using “unique threat to democracy”
Local news, reporting on the proposed amendment to the Ohio constitution, said: “Readers fear too few people know about the danger of this proposal, which would allow 40 percent of Ohioans to dictate policy to the other 60 percent.”
Dictate… Policy…
By not passing a state constitutional amendment.
By not passing the Free Shit for All amendment, you want grandma to die.
Konstantin Kisin, who immigrated from Russia to the UK at age 11, has a new look book “An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West.”
It’s good so far. He’s trying to educate self-loathing Westerners about what things are really like in commie/socialist countries. He talks disparagingly about privileged westerners who want to “smash the system.” What he says should be obvious but to people who haven’t traveled or lived outside the West, particularly the English speaking west, it’s not.
I follow him on twitter. He’s a comedian but he has many thoughtful political opinions.
Thanks!
I’ve heard his podcast a few times and he is an interesting dude. I believe their bank account got shut down last week, too.
Nice. There needs to be a lot more of this because the natives are broken at this point.
Kisin at Oxford
I knew of the guy before this speech, but I really admire him afterwards.
Oh, that guy. Yeah I remember when someone posted that a while back. Good stuff IIRC.

That self-loathing is masturbation for nihilists.

Yes because he failed to depend on government!
Harkening back to the morning links, one of the cars in the yard has “Guatemala” stickers on the hood. So you were correct.

Yesterday there was a video on Twitter that really sums up where we are.
It was retweeted by conservative voices, but posted on the left. It was a … skit? Short film? Fake?
It showed a creepy white guy on the train go and stand in front of an Asian woman and push his crotch right in front of her face. He has plenty of room elsewhere and it is weird and creepy.
So some older Asian lady snaps a picture…. amd he goes and confronts her, taking her phone to delete the “assault” of photographing him.
It was pretty outrageous. But now I can’t find it. Did anyone else see it?
Nope
Yeah, I saw it, but it was pretty obviously staged.
Sounds almost exactly like the opening train scene from Inside Man. (Terrible show, btw.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPnDyMvmOdY

I saw that like a year ago, so it’s probably just making the rounds again.

Serious people doing serious things
Among the many plot lines in the Dianne Feinstein saga is Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pledge to appoint a Black woman to replace the 89-year-old should a vacancy arise before her term expires in January 2025.
He made that promise during his 2021 anti-recall campaign, and a new article from the Associated Press’ Michael R. Blood conveys the extent to which the governor may have boxed himself in. While many Black Democrats expect the governor to follow through on his pledge, the two candidates who seemed the most likely at the time of the pledge — Reps. Barbara Lee and Karen Bass — may no longer be options. Lee is running against Rep. Adam Schiff to succeed Feinstein, so Newsom may want to avoid tilting the scales in that race. Meanwhile, Bass just began her tenure as mayor of Los Angeles.
That leaves the “caretaker” route, in which Newsom appoints someone who doesn’t enter the Senate race, and the Associated Press story provided just one name that has been “floated in California circles” as a caretaker pick: celebrity talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
“Newsom may want to avoid tilting the scales in that race.”
Haha, good one.
Oprah’s like everybody’s favorite busybody aunt. She’s perfect.

“This is just a piece of paper that says ‘Trabant Waiting List’ on it!”
But this time we’ll all be paying for them.
They paid for them last time. It didn’t make the news, but that stunt was a disaster.
Didn’t they just get hit with the gift taxes on the cars? I remember hearing that.
Yes, but “just” is relative. If you can’t afford to buy a used car, you certainly can’t afford the tax on a brand new one. That’s like having a ton of bricks dropped on your head. Ask me how I know*
That’s why big prizes now come with a cash accompaniment, like, say, HGTV’s dream home. Some of those big prizes will bankrupt you in a heartbeat.
*When Dude won the car, they didn’t give an accompanying cash prize to take care of taxes. We sold the car back to the dealer because even though we could have used the car, we couldn’t afford an $8,000 tax bill just suddenly out of the blue. And we needed the money.
People don’t think about this when winning things. I do, because Dude wins so much so often. But taxes will eat you alive if you’re not careful. I had to put the brakes on a $30,000-value prize he just won at the beginning of the year (we ended up refusing the prize) because I was not going to pay taxes on 12 people going to Nashville (a place I didn’t want to go) for a private showing of a country band I never heard of at a time I didn’t want to go for a vacation I didn’t ask for. That was an interesting few-hour-long … conversation.
Old school ‘Wheel of Fortune’: You won credit that you used to purchase prizes from a big selection. I went to a garage sale in California in 1978 where the person was desperately trying to sell all that shit, because the IRS was taxing them at the overpriced value stated on the show.
Price is Right used to trick fuck people the same way.
For a dealership, it was a win/win. Buy insurance for the chance of the prize hitting, collect on the winning, then buy the car back for a little more than the back taxes.
I’d rather get the new car than have my money stolen from me and sent to Ukraine so they can kill some guy named Ivan who I’ve never met. Unfortunately she’s probably for both of those.
LOL they just can’t help themselves.

Netflix Announces ‘Wife Mode’ Function That Explains Entire Movie Before It Starts
I died.
I was 19 when that came out and the only movie I paid twice to watch. Now my wife always points it out “Hey Gladiator is on…you’re gonna watch it aren’t you?”
You need some variety in there. Maybe put Master and Commander in the rotation.
Usually Band of Brothers gets sprinkled in when I need a reality check.
‘Tombstone’ and ‘The 5th Element’ are the two movies I’ll stop and watch whenever I come across them.
Multipass!
Mah fight’s not with yew, Lunger.
Ill allow it. Galaxy Quest is my guiltiest pleasure of all time and probably the most perfect SciFi movie ever.
Galaxy Quest and 5th Element are also on my repeat-watch list. They are both just so fun.
Yep. Predator is another one for me.
Galaxy Quest is amazing. It’s a very funny parody, but then it uses the same things it was making fun of to hit you right in the feels.
It’s good so far. He’s trying to educate self-loathing Westerners about what things are really like in commie/socialist countries. He talks disparagingly about privileged westerners who want to “smash the system.” What he says should be obvious but to people who haven’t traveled or lived outside the West, particularly the English speaking west, it’s not.
This, and a comment by Penguin (I think) in the A M links remind me of a story I have told here before.
When I was in college, 1975 or so, there was a big international figure skating competition at the Broadmoor World Arena, just west of Colorado Springs. A couple of people I knew got hired as “tour guides” for eastern bloc competitors. I don’t remember why; maybe language skills. They got all excited about showing off cultural stuff and natural beauty. The commies didn’t care about any of that. They all wanted to go to Kmart, and wander around gawping at all the stuff anybody, regardless of class, color or party affiliation could just walk in and buy.
It was revelatory, to say the least.
What if the plebs figured out they are not completely powerless?
Is the inverse also true? If they can create an environment where brands are afraid to do anything that might slightly offend progressives. If they can get them to raise pride flags (but not in China or the Middle East), they’ve dramatically changed the culture without casting a vote or firing a shot.
Fucker posts this a week before everyone needs to paint the rainbow flag over their lintel or be savaged by progmobs.
Threats
Mega retailer Target is pulling some of its merchandise that celebrates Pride month after threats to employees, the company said Tuesday.
“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and wellbeing while at work,” a Target spokesperson said in a statement.
“Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior,” the spokesperson said.
“I’m taking my money to Walmart from now on” is domestic terrorism.
“We finds Targets adherence to and promotion of the trans cult agenda distasteful.” – threat
Yeah, bullshit there were “threats”. This is classic ass-covering.
There probably are some people yelling at employees which is stupid, but overall yeah, I agree that threats is probably overblown.
A lot of people threatened to never shop there again, so yeah.
AB is in the process of buying the beer they sold to distributors last month, so maybe someone is starting to catch on.
Threats.
The retailer’s decision comes amid a wider national debate over civil rights for transgender people.
There it is, in a nutshell.
It’s like the Mulvaney stuff was the tipping point. Maybe people are finally coming back to sanity on this topic.
We’ll find out if suburban white women continue to destroy their sex or wake up in a year.

Fixed it for you.

Great, another company I don’t buy from. 🙁
I wanna get my boycott on!
I like how they are going for the most…uh…unappealing transgender spokespeople possible.
No shit. You could at least pick people who don’t look like monsters.
You know you want to hit that and then go buy a $400 rainjacket.
When I was a little kid, that monster clown would have been terrifying. Which is the correct reaction.
I still can’t look at Sam Brinton. The picture of him and Levine together….
How much must you hate yourself to do that?
How much do you have to hate your country to give them power?
I’d like to rescind my last comment.
OMG it’s even cringier than I expected.
This stuff appeals to radical activist types because sooo edgy, and to their friends around the left who smile and nod along because they know that is what is expected of them, and to nobody else.
I hope it doesn’t tip over.
The southern eyewall of Mawar is scraping across northern Guam right now, which means the island is in the thick of the typhoon’s most intense winds, flooding rainfall and storm surge.
Maximum sustained winds in the typhoon were 140 mph as of the latest Joint Typhoon Warning Center advisory, making Mawar a strong Category 4 equivalent.
Winds up to 105 mph have been clocked at Guam’s International Airport.
Conditions in Guam should slowly improve late tonight, local time (Guam is 14 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Daylight Time).
Mawar will likely remain a formidably intense typhoon after it leaves Guam, and could regain super typhoon status in the Philippine Sea in the next few days.
On May 31, President Joe Biden commemorated Pride Month in a statement in which he criticized “an onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQI+ legislation” introduced in states that he said targeted transgender children and their parents.

It’s only democracy when people vote the way I want.
“If Trump wins, which I do not believe will happen, let me just quickly say that. If in some scenario that were to happen, it would be the end of democracy in the United States, it would be the end of Ukraine. It would become a — you know, he will pull us out of NATO if he wins again. And just like he pulled us out of the Iran deal, he pulled us out of the Paris Accords. He will pull us out of NATO.”
“The Electoral College is a terrible anachronism that, you know, has caused people like me who win the popular vote not to be president,” Clinton grumbled at an event hosted by the Financial Times in Washington, DC. “But that’s beside the point.”
The EC exists because the sovereign states elect the president of the common government of sovereign states, you dishonest cunte.
It’ll be the end of Ukraine. And NATO. Well heaven forfend.
Please don’t throw me in that briar patch…
Stop it, I’m already hard.
SF gave us a break today dude…didn’t need to encourage anything
You just admitted in public that Hillary Clinton made you hard.
You must feel so conflicted.
This is why they don’t need some grand conspiracy to cheat. If you were a Dem, and truly believed Trump would be the end of democracy, you’d be a complete asshole if you didn’t lie, cheat, steal, and do whatever else you could to stop him.
She doesn’t believe it, but she sure wants you to.
Outputting endless reams of stark raving madness is how they conquered all the institutions.
I’ve heard this framed another, equally valid way. To wit – if you truly believed that abortion is murder, you’d already have killed an abortionist, and probably more than one.
It’s worth contemplating the difference between those two concepts.
