Get Out the Flame Thrower
To all you pearl-clutchers, just stop it. The election is over, and Kamala lost. BIG TIME. She lost because of Biden’s own poor judgement by staying in the race, his relentless institutionalism, Chuck Schumer’s maddening dawdling and insistence of following calcified rules, and the Democrats obsession with nose counting and identity politics. Well bucko, THAT DIDN’T WORK. AGAIN. For fuck’s sake, people, STOP IT.
Half of the American electorate just voted for a convicted felon who ran on one thing – destroying what’s left of our society. He’s poking decent people in the eye with his picks for top government jobs, intentionally trying to piss people off by nominating drunks, perverts, weirdos, rapists, criminals, and assholes to critical leadership roles. He’s thumbed his nose, AGAIN, at every norm and law that presidents have followed for over 240 years. He doesn’t give a flying fuck about rules, the law, country or you. Period. He’s in it for himself, and with the foot dragging of law enforcement, the Congress, and now the courts, he’s doing what he wants, when he wants. He’s in the process of weaponizing the DOJ to turn us into 1933 Nazi Germany, and what are you doing? Handwringing over Biden’s pardon of Hunter.
To be clear, Hunter is a broken, morally bankrupt person whose own personal life provided Trump a gigantic target for him and his goons, but you know what? I don’t give a shit. Trump actually got Republicans to mount an unrelenting attack on Hunter for the last 7 years to the point of Merrick Garland bending to political pressure and allowing a prosecution over crimes he had already confessed to and prosecuting him for a violation that is NEVER enforced. It was nothing short of weaponizing a federal agency against a political enemy, ironically the EXACT thing Trump is howling about that supposedly happened to him after he tried to overthrow the US government, steal a national election, and violate a literal legion of federal and state laws. He did all that while fucking Mitch McConnell twiddled his thumbs and miserably failed at his number one job of protecting the Constitution.
It’s time for handwringing progressives and Democrats to fucking stop it. Getting pissed off about Biden’s pardon of Hunter is like an HOA going after someone who hasn’t mowed their lawn while ignoring a serial arsonist setting fire to the house across the street. I’m sorry, but fretting over your pronouns and nose counting doesn’t help a goddam bit when the winning side is in the process of actually destroying what’s left of our society. It’s time to get out the fucking flame thrower and start fighting fire with fire. The reason that vulnerable members of our society are even at risk is that the bad guys are in control, and in the case of Texas, have been in control for 30 fucking years. They’ve been in control for 30 fucking years because the leadership of the TDP are incompetent and/or bogged down in reams of silly rules and traditions instead of fighting for Texans.
The only way you fight an out of control fire is with fire. It’s time to get out the flamethrowers, and fight dirty. You can’t follow arcane rules and maintain decorum when your political opponent wants you in jail, or worse, dead. Wake the fuck up, and put your pearls away. Pick up the flamethrower and light it up.
ABSOLUTELY. RIGHT. ON!!!!
1Couldn’t agree more….
2While I agree with your thoughts on the Bidens here (ffs, let Joe Biden just ride off into the sunset, and let his son, whatever his faults, continue to be a private citizen), I think your thoughts on why Dems lost aren’t quite right.
Democrats lost because the public saw the economy as bad and voted the incumbents out. It happened the same way around the world, regardless of whether countries were led by right or left parties. Voters blamed whichever party was in power for the price of eggs, gas, etc. We went left to right, the UK went right to left.
Kamala Harris specifically lost because this is still a f***ing sexist country. Black and Latino men, especially, couldn’t handle the idea of a woman being the boss of them, but it wasn’t just them. I was appalled by the *women* who said a woman would be too emotional to lead. It is amazing to me that women have led Pakistan and India*, two notoriously misogynist, patriarchal countries, but the US can’t get there.
So yeah, bring the (metaphorical) flamethrowers to use against the bad guys, but also look around to see the sexist attitudes even among your own political cohort and address those, too.
* note that those women were the daughters of male leaders, so nepotism may have been in play there
3AMEN
4There’s one reason for all this hypocritical Republican hand wringing and gnashing of teeth. They know President Biden has a lot of power until Inauguration Day. There’s more he can do that Trump can’t undo. They’re trying to make Biden think twice before he takes any additional actions within his presidential powers.
Think once Joe. Do it. Do whatever you can.
5Fuck yah!
6Right you are! Keep at ‘em Joe!
7My only problem is telling ordinary folks (some of whom may have assault weapons) that they’re stupid.
Couldn’t have said it better. The new rules are “there are no rules”, and the sooner liberals learn that, the better. Biden should carpet bomb pardons and do *everything* possible to block the idiots in line to “take charge” of health, education, defense, environment, etc. Republicans have to be laughing at our lame attempts to play by the old rules. Make this a December to remember.
8How’s this scenario I read?
———————
After issuing a blanket pardon to ALL American citizens except himself, Joe Biden should resign on January 19 thus making Kamala Harris the next President.
Then then Kamala Harris should issue the pardon for Joe himself.
Self-pardons are the one thing that has never been validated by the Supreme Court and this would kill two birds with one stone. Having Kamala sworn in as President (#47!!!) for one day would make all the investment in #47 memorabilia for *rump moot…as he would now be #48 AND it would absolutely validate his own pardon by Harris.
It would apply massive handcuffs to any *rump effort to exploit his own witch hunt against Democrats including Biden. A brilliant double whammy!
And Biden / Harris should skip the inauguration. That would infuriate *rump.”

A-fucking-men!!
I’ve been advocating the same scorched earth tactics and strategies for decades.
Fighting their fire ten times over, with napalm and RDX, to the max; overwhelming force for the win.
It’s the only fucking way to fight such sworn ENEMIES who are, and have been for years, out to fucking bury every goddamned librul that they can!
They’ve been deadly serious forever, while the typical libs have fruitlessly pursued a laughable ‘bipartisanship’ and desperately sought out comity with literal enemies whose primary goal in their miserable lives is to ‘get the libs’. Yeah, a lot of these people/vermin are your neighbors and acquaintances; recognize them (finally) for what they really are, damn it.
About time y’all are finally waking TF up.

10And lots of damned good ideas above.
Sandridge For President!
11There’s a line in The Lion in Winter that I cannot quote exactly from memory but cautions: And then what will you do, when the laws are all down?
12“Your status in hell is determined by the size of the honor guard you take with you.” When the fascists come for me, I will not go quietly to the camps.
13Yikes
14I’ll have a double of whatever Robert @11 is drinking…or smoking…
