True Colors


Democrats worried about Joe Biden’s mental functionality have been suggesting that he be replaced at the convention with a stronger candidate, like NY Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Who just signed an executive order to have the National Guard sieze medical equipment from upstate hospitals to serve New York City. But don’t worry, it’s only 10% 20% of their ventilators and protective equipment. And he promises to give it all back when he’s done with it.

Meanwhile, in Central Californistan...


Some poor soul, apparently a young polisci major, decided to use Nextdoor’s poll feature to ask about the upcoming election:

I suspect that if Trump weren’t winning, there wouldn’t be so many complaints in the comments about it “violating Nextdoor policies”…

Sunday update

Now 44% Trump, 35% Sanders, 4% each Warren/Biden/Buttigieg/Bloomberg, and 1% Klobuchar. Totally unscientific with a small, unrepresentative sample, so it’s at least as accurate as a professional phone poll…

The dog ate my impeachment


Pelosi/Schumer, decrypted:

“We won’t turn in our homework until you agree to finish it for us.”

Random thoughts...


If it’s cool to punch “Nazis”, it must be downright awesome to choke Marxists. Hmmm, perhaps they should rethink this…

…or perhaps not.

Hilarity ensued


In Newman, Goergia, a tiny group of peaceful Nazis were once again severely outnumbered by ready-to-rumble Communists, assorted hangers-on, and bored cops.

The bad news? “There were only 10 reported arrests” (of Commie thugs wearing masks).

700 cops from 42 agencies, hundreds of protestors, and about 20 Nazis.

Polled!


Just got a push-poll on my cellphone for a Democrat running for the state Senate. Tried to persuade me by supporting illegals and higher taxes, and opposing Trump and the NRA. You could say that it succeeded in pushing me, but not in the direction she’d like.

If 'the children are our future'...


…spokesbullies like David Hoggführer and Sinead O’Castro make it look a lot like the past.

Or just the latest example of “this is how you get more Trump”.

Bake the cake...


A lot of people are talking about turning the tables on the NRA boycotters by going to progressive bakeries and insisting they decorate cakes with pro-2nd messages. This is unlikely to work, since the sort of people who try to shut down Christian businesses for opposing gay marriage are unlikely to be able to run successful businesses themselves. You’d only be annoying people who aren’t really your enemies.

Fun to fantasize about, though…

“Hi, I’d like to order a special cake for a civil rights party.”

"Great! We'd love to have your business!"

“I want a big picture of an AR-15 with the words μολὼν λαβέ underneath.”

"You what now?"

“Yeah, and surround the AR-15 with rainbow sprinkles, because it’s a gay little poodle-shooter.”
