Could It Be?
Now we package politicians with product identity symbols. I guess the first one I noticed was Obama’s logo. Then the silly red MAGA hat. It’s like we have to logo everything now, including wars.
Even NPR doesn’t know what it means. The letter Z does not appear in the Cyrillic alphabet, so that makes it more a symbol than a letter.
Thelma has a theory that it has something to do with movie Zombie Apocalypse. I’d like to be to disprove that but I can’t. Junior thinks it’s an N tumped over to confuse us, the N being Nazi. I’m not sure how they spell it in Russia.
But no matter how hard Putin tries, nobody will ever make any money selling one of these with his picture on it.
This is totally off topic, but y’all there is something seriously wrong with William Barr. First, he hides very damaging information about Donald Trump’s mental health until he can write a book and makes some money off it. Then he goes on Fox News and says …
Barr tonight: “He was livid and shaking, showed a lot of temper and yelling .. He started talking about he won the election, the machines are rigged and he was going to be there another term. This showed a detachment from reality that was stunning to me.” pic.twitter.com/X8TNjrEgDx

Next up – Trump calls Barr mentally unstable, a liar, and lazy.
So, Barr goes on the Today show a day later and says …
Oh Dude, you’d give that guy the nuclear codes? Whoa, Skippy, now you’re so far out there that even Goggle can find you.
So, Billy Boy is on a book tour flacking his latest toilet paper holder.
You know the saying “It’s better to keep silent a be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt?” Barr is epitomizing that adage. He is busy lying his a$$ off and dumb founding everybody who interviews him. The reviews of his book are equally scathing. And, no, I don’t read RWNJ outlets.
1After Barr left he couldn’t find a job so I guess he thought writing a book would add money to the coffers. He will be mistaken; even the GOP won’t buy 100K to make him look good. He might as well join the wing of the party that George Will has migrated to and try to convince people that he’s learned his lesson (another lie).
2Billy Blob Barr learned well from his time with TFG. He’s out and about blabbing the truth about the QOP: when they’re done burning down government, they’re ready to flush Americans down the drain along with the ashes. 2022 & 2024, hear their loud and respond accordingly: vote all the Qcumber conservatives out at every level.
3RE: the “Z”–
The Z-mark [a Latin alphabet letter that doesn’t exist in Cyrillic] has quickly become a symbol of Russian aggression and hostility towards the rest of the world. It’s a symbolic messaging and identity device, like the MAGAots moranic red ballcaps.
Be careful what you wish for, Russkies.

“The “Z” was no longer a mysterious symbol. Over the course of a few days, it had come to stand for loyalty, devotion to the state, murderous rage, and unchecked power. ”
.
4[Hell, the goddamned Russkies have been inspiring “murderous rage” in me for a couple of weeks now.
I’ve always had sympathy/empathy for the average Russian, they live in a land with tremendous potential and natural riches, corrupted for centuries by despots.
Now, hell, an analogy– I live in the boonies, the country, where pesky insects are always around and sometimes need to be dealt with.
I mix my own homebrew insecticide, put it in a hand spray bottle. Very effective and fairly non-toxic to other stuff [formula: aprx 1/3 each: Simple Green, 90% iso alcohol, water, maybe a dash of liquid laundry detergent]; this stuff –kills– bugs daaid, flying crawling whatever. Wet ’em down, watch ’em die.
Now, as I use it, I envision those bugs as Russkie military atrocity purveyors…]
Again, we are witnessing the horrors, danger and insanity of wingnut extremism. Bigoted ‘Hate’ run wild. They are the mater race, they are the Rulers, the Deciders …the white-Christian-Republican/Corporate Fascist race. And it must be protected and supported at all costs.
5‘master race’ lol…
6The “Z” came from markings that the Russians daubed on various vehicles — there are four others (“O”, “A”, “X” and “V”). It’s not clear what meaning they have — there’s a fair amount of speculation. There’s every possibility/probability that the “Z” is just an easily recognizable random symbol, like if we chose to paint a star or a heart on something.

But definitely, definitely not anything to do with “zombies” or any other crap that Q-nuts or anyone else dreams up. Why the “Z” got singled out is also not clear — perhaps it’s because the first photos coming out tended to show the “Z” more than the other symbols.
7Come on! We all know Z is the mark of Zorro!
8But of course, @Lenore!
But instead of a dashing savior of the downtrodden, this one’s a bloated egomaniac who dreams of being a latter day tsar.
9Wilhemina had to say this because the Slug has a VERY dirty tape on him .
10Z for Zelensky. Some rebel Rooskie knows that the very sight of this in public will give Vladimir Putin a fit. I know that there are huge numbers of Russians scattered around the country who are unaware of what is going on in Ukraine in the name of their country. This just might be their wake up call.
