Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

IIRC people who've escaped from North Korea have said that most people know the government is basically full of shit, but are smart enough to know not to say anything.
 
Such restraint shown by local law enforcement. Good thing they aren't small black 14 year old boys or they might have to get serious.
 
That is probably in response to yesterday (below):



This keeps up, and Whitmer’s going to have to activate the National Guard in order to protect the capitol.

The windows are open right now, here, and I can hear the sound of car horns beeping over and over in the distance. I assume it is a mob psyching itself up to doing something stupid.
EDIT: Also the carillon at the nearby church has been playing "Happy Birthday" for the last hour and a half straight, and I can't help but feel it's some kind of signal.

He's coming to AZ, by the way. Supposedly to look at how Rockwell is switching over to medical production.

On a completely unrelated note, the golf courses here were not closed under Ducey's executive order.

It is, however, going to top out at 100F tomorrow.

Today at noon they played 15 straight minutes of patriotic tunes. Star-Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, Battle Hymn of the Republic, You’re a Grand Old Flag, etc.
I almost feel like they’re converting to Jingoism.

Betsy DeVos is an evil piece of shit (narrowly avoided shitty gendered putdown there).

Man this is about time. I mean, all those poor sexual assaulting boys and sports figures almost had to pay for their crimes, which might have ruined their futures!

There's not a /s big enough for that.
 
April's U.S. unemployment has hit 14.7%.
This is the lowest highest unemployment figure since 1940.
To put that into perspective, this means 1 out of every 7 Americans now has no job.

LOL, paraphrasing here, "We didn't get our way, so we are going to be pissy assholes going forward and take every little thing to court".
 
In Colorado, a cafe opened against orders and was PACKED with Mother's Day customers. Most of them weren't even wearing masks.

Is it REALLY that bad if a bunch of Karens get themselves sick?

Castle Rock and south is very Republican. As is my county and everything northeast.
 
Splitting off of the COVID thread because reasons.

Since the HK protests were brought up as a counter, the only way to compare them to the situation in Michigan would be if the CCP organized them to go after a duly elected leadership. Which didn't (AFAIK) happen.

Ya notice DeVos, et. al. didn't bankroll or organize protests against REPUBLICAN governors? These weren't legitimate protests. These were terror tactics meant to sow chaos in favor of cheeto.
 
The stupid speech is one thing, but the asshole couldn’t even be bothered to shave and put his tie on properly? Oooh, he’s trying to be edgy and cool for the kids... :rolleyes:

And his rep trotted out the “it’s just a joke” excuse...

What a fucking embarrassment for Nebraska.
 
Ha ha! He's so in touch with today's youth.
...today's youth, who as it happens are probably going to turn 18 this year and vote him out of office (if his seat's up for election).
