[Fetterman Begs Democrats to Stop Calling Trump Names]

I won't be voting for this guy again. But, even if he does decide to run for his current U.S. Senate seat again in 2028, he probably won't survive the Democratic Party's primary election. And, I'd rather see that happen than being left with the choice of voting for a Republican, or not voting for a candidate for that seat at all.

So, this article caught my attention:

Fetterman Begs Democrats to Stop Calling Trump Names

"This is not an autocrat," the Democratic Party black sheep says of a president accused of unprecedented attacks on his opponents and the political establishment.

And, as per this article:

"Don't ever compare anyone to Hitler, and those kinds of extreme things. Look what happened to Charlie Kirk—a man was shot," the senator said. "We can't compare people to these kinds of figures in history."

Well ... I disagree, as I've always been an "If it walks like a duck, ..." kind of guy. And, I have as much sympathy for outspoken gun fondler Charlie Kirk as he had in life for our many murdered, maimed, and traumatized school children.   

Anyway, I'm now pretty sure Fetterman also disapproves of my addressing him as "Genocide John," in the emails I send to him at https://www.fetterman.senate.gov/contact/.

The point is they are going full seige mentality and they will get meaner and more forgiving of the horrifying shit the government they voted in is up to, where they were starting to realise they had been betrayed

"We've been wronged by the left so let us round up and murder the homeless, as a treat"

I've called them the Republicult™, MAGAts, and most recently a tribe. The MSM is currently calling them the MAGA movement, Trumpists, right-wing populists, etc., although years ago they labeled themselves as The Tea Party, an instantly accepted rebrand of 'Merica's old KKK. And, I don't doubt that I, and the MSM, will refer to them by still other names in the future.

But, no matter what anyone calls them, what ultimately defines those people is their rage. They embrace it, feed upon it, thrive upon it, and willfully radiate it to the world. They are nothing without their rage. It's who they are. And, when they really get raging, even the homeless become their enemy. No one is truly safe from them, and as current events have shown, they're not even safe from themselves.

Even if the assassin himself publicly confesses that his motive for shooting Kirk was about the direction of far right-wing ideology and future tribal leadership, I doubt even that would convince the majority of his tribe that the left had nothing to do with any of this.

[Kirk Shooting Scandal WIDENS As Newsweek Drops BOMB]

To date, this is the best, and clearest explanation I've been able to find in defense of the claim that Charlie Kirk's assassin is a member of the Nick Fuentes sect of his tribe. And, yes, I do realize this video was paid for, produced, and distributed by a highly partisan left-wing organization: 

Kirk Shooting Scandal WIDENS As Newsweek Drops BOMB

And, yes again, I also realize all of this is still, at best, circumstantially evidence. Nevertheless, this video nicely connects all of the publicly available dots.

Eh, tbh the evidence for that is pretty weak. It's all pretty vague, and honestly I wouldn't be THAT surprised if they announced that they got the wrong guy AGAIN.

It won't surprise me if the assassin does prove to be a right-wing extremist, who strongly identifies with the Nick Fuentes sect of his tribe. And, I've seen a fair number of articles, posts, etc. on the internet that have stated that that is indeed the case.

And, predictably, I'm also seeing a lot of right-wing pushback claiming that the assassin had recently fallen under the dread, biblically evil influence of the political left. Now, I don't believe that to be the case for a heartbeat. But, given that this assassination took place in the deep, deep, blood-red state of Utah, and the FBI is currently being run by a shameless, incompetent partisan, the tribe is going to exert tremendous pressure on everyone, especially those who may know the actual truth about the assassin's political allegiances, to conform to the right-wing ideology of the tribe.

And so, I'm pretty sure we now merely get to watch, and participate in yet another right vs. left propaganda skirmish.

[A neutrino mass mismatch could shake cosmology's foundations]

A neutrino mass mismatch could shake cosmology's foundations

As per this article:

"Recent cosmological data collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, favors masses that are unexpectedly small and creeping close to conflict with those of particle physics experiments. In fact, some interpretations of the DESI data suggest that neutrinos have no mass or even negative mass, normally a forbidden concept in physics (SN: 11/21/14)."

Now, that sentence caught my attention, as the words "negative mass" usually only appear in the technobabble of science fiction. So, those already mysterious neutrinos are becoming curiouser and curiouser!

And then he was shot by a member of a rival gang; The Groypers.

I found the following statement, on a political site I usually trust, about Charlie Kirk's recent experience with what he himself had said are acceptable consequences of the Supreme Court's latest interpretation of the Second Amendment:

"The alleged killer was reportedly a right wing extremist who killed Charlie for not being right wing enough."

But, I have not been able to find any evidence that supports that statement. So, I find your more specific post to be of particular interest.

[Charlie Kirk: "It's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment"]

The point is they are going full seige mentality and they will get meaner and more forgiving of the horrifying shit the government they voted in is up to, where they were starting to realise they had been betrayed

I agree with your assessment of the situation.

Unfortunately, today's 'Merican right-wingers have devolved into a tribe possessing an uncompromising "the end justifies the means mentality." And, their tribe is willing to accept significant collateral damage to achieve its objectives.

This explicit example of their tribal mentality took me no time at all to find:

Charlie Kirk: "It's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment"

Kirk: "Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty"

As per this article:

"CHARLIE KIRK (TPUSA PRESIDENT): The Second Amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The Second Amendment is not even about personal defense. That is important. The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government."

Now, please note, that statement was made by the dead fucker himself, a beloved supporter, fundraiser, and spokesperson for the Turd Reich. And, that venomous entity is the best current example I can present of something that's openly attempting to establish itself as "a tyrannical government." So, is all of this irony, karma, both, something else, or some other combination of things?

Last, I do approve of, and applaud the efforts of those on the left and right who are sincerely attempting to to defuse, and deescalate the current right-wing outrage. But, while their efforts are meaningful to us, I don't honestly believe that anything anyone on left or right says in that regard is going to make any difference whatsoever to the tribe.

[adult]

When groups of 'Merican school children are Second Amendmented, the right-wing political response is always as follows:

1. Thoughts and prayers.
2. It's too soon to talk about gun violence.
3. Arm our teachers.
4. Station armed guards in our schools.
5. A good guy with a gun is the best defense against a bad guy with gun.   

So, as the right-wingers don't really give a damn about the all too frequent mass shootings of our children, I don't have much sympathy for them melting down over only one adult being shot. Therefore, my response to right-wingers is: "It's too soon to talk about gun violence."

[Conservative activist Charlie Kirk dead after being shot at university event, Trump says]

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk dead after being shot at university event, Trump says

As per this article:

"Kirk is a well-known gun activist and defender of the Second Amendment.

Immediately before the shooting, Kirk was taking questions for an audience member about mass shootings and gun violence."

So, to paraphrase, Kirk, who was a well-known gun activist and staunch defender of the Second Amendment, was himself Second Amendmented today, while ardently defending the Second Amendment he so loved.

[Arkansas Farmers Pray To God & Trump To Save Them]

Obviously, this meeting was not called, or run by Discordians, as MAL-2 warned the faithless about the dangers of praying: 

Arkansas Farmers Pray To God & Trump To Save Them

Hundreds of struggling Arkansas farmers are pleading with the federal government to provide emergency funding amid a farm economy crisis.

And, as if praying to the POSOTUS isn't bad enough, these self-righteous hypocrites now want the government they've consistently voted to shrink to a size that could be dragged into the bathroom and drowned in the bathtub to now rise up and save them from themselves. Oh, where oh where is their unshakable faith in the virtues of soulless, take-no-prisoners, laissez-faire, let-the-buyer-beware Capitalism now? Isn't this passel of parasites *gasp* praying to be afflicted with an unpardonable sin of Dread Socialism?!

So, I wonder, what will these same fuckers be praying to, and for, next? Will it be for Socialized Medicine to come and save their soon to be closing rural hospitals from their worshiped messiah's Billionaire's Big Bonus Bill?!

Those are some nice additions to your collection, Nibor.

I especially like the Gustave Moreau painting.

[Jeanine Pirro Couldn't Even Indict A Ham Sandwich]

I'd been hoping for an opportunity to post a link to an article with this title, and this afternoon I found one:

Jeanine Pirro Couldn't Even Indict A Ham Sandwich

As per this article:

"Trump supporters have been using the phrase coined by Chief Justice of New York's Supreme Court Sol Wachtler when he said, "any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich," to defend Trump's many misdeeds and criminality, but apparently, the former Fox News host failed to do so."

I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible to find and hire legitimate college graduates who are more incompetent than all of these very popular Fox News Media "personalities."

The question is, would his replacement be more competent?  Vance is certainly a more compliant puppet for the oligarchs, but he doesn't have anywhere near the charisma of the orange turd. 

Yes, that is the question.

And, following is another quotation from the same article I originally quoted above:

"Now imagine if Trump succumbed to his health problems tomorrow and JD Vance became President. He's a bumbler for certain. But he's not senile. He's not lumbering around like a corpse. Vance would get a honeymoon period from the media. It would take time for us to force Vance's sandals [sic] and extremism into the national conversation even as the media tried to normalize him. And during that time, Vance and the Republicans would accomplish a whole lot of evil."

I have no doubt the MSM, in addition to the MAGAt Media (MM), would happily give Vance a honeymoon period. And, depending upon the timing between now and the 2026 elections, that honeymoon period would probably have catastrophic consequences on our chances of taking the power of the House of Representatives, and possibly even the Senate, away from the Republicult™.

Now, I, personally, believe that Vance is a lying phony. But, I also believe that, like the current POSOTUS he willingly serves, he's in it for the money. And, that makes Vance extremely dangerous.

[Trump death watch has begun]

This morning, I found myself in the strange position of not being able to decide if the real possibility that the POSOTUS may soon "depart this mortal coil" will be a good thing for the Resistance 2.0, or not. And, it was the following article that led me to my indecision:

Trump death watch has begun

As per this article:

"Unless something catastrophic has happened in the short time between when I'm writing this and when you're reading it, Donald Trump is still alive. As I wrote last night, the mere fact that this has to be stated is a problem for Trump. So far this weekend social media has erupted with multiple trending topics which either falsely claimed Trump was dead or asked for proof of life. And while false claims are always unwarranted, the demands for proof of life are absolutely justified, given the circumstances."

This article then goes on to describe the current situation in detail, and discusses the pros and cons of the POSOTUS soon being flushed away.

And, after reading the entire article, it occurred to me that, as much as I want this ignorant sociopath gone right now, it may not be in the best interests of the Resistance 2.0, our republic, or the free world in the long run. For me, it was a clear case of Godwin's law of Nazi analogies arising in my own thoughts. For, I remembered reading, may times, that well into WWII, some Allied leaders began to believe that not assassinating Hitler was helping their war effort far more than if competent German leadership had been given the chance to take over.
