The Republicult™ On Parade

I suppose I really shouldn't find this kind of thing to be amusing, as the MSM has already done such an outstanding job of normalizing the Republicult's™ behavior, but this article got me to wondering:

Collins 'alarmed' by Trump firing CDC head

Now, Collaborator Collins is always "concerned" about something the Republicult™ is perpetrating, but very rarely does anything more than voice her "concern." So, I always believed "concerned" was her normal DEFCON 5 level.

Then, I realized from the title of this particular article that she's now 'alarmed.' So, I immediately equated Collins being 'alarmed' to her moving from her DEFCON 5 to her DEFCON 4 level.

And so, I decided to actually read the text of this article, and found the following quotation:

'"I am very concerned about and alarmed by this removal," Collins said.'

Then, I became a bit confused, after reading the words, "very concerned," and "alarmed" in the same sentence. And I wondered if "very concerned" and "alarmed" are both DEFCON 4 indicators.

Adding to my confusion, still further down in the same article, I found the following quotation:

'"I am extremely alarmed at the firing of the CDC director," Collins told reporters following an appearance with the Maine Sheriffs Association.'

So, as Collins is now talking "extremely alarmed," I'm wondering if in her mind this situation has actually escalated to her DEFCON 3 level?! But, I think it's far more likely that "very concerned," "alarmed," and "extremely alarmed," are all indicative of her DEFCON 4 level. Or, in reality, are "concerned," very "concerned," "alarmed," and "extremely alarmed," still all just her normal DEFCON 5 level? Based upon her years and years of past behavior, I'm tempted to believe she's still at the latter level. But then, she probably has realized by now that she's an unpopular candidate for reelection in 2026.

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."

They know how to pick 'em in Tennessee:

Tennessee Congressman Innocently Asking If Underwater Aliens Want To Steal Our Essence

Now, in truth, the author did exaggerate a bit when he wrote the title of his article. But still ...

Honestly, Tennessee is as weird as Florida. We mad Chemtrails illegal last year, and I keep telling people that if they see them, they need to report it to the police, but I never hear back about if they did or not.
Formerly something else...

Chemtrails are one of my favorite conspiracy theories.

And, after reading your post, it occurred to me that there's gotta be a good catchphrase to be made up, or an old one to plagerize, that can be used to make a meme out of the right-winger's fear of chemtrails. I'm thinking something like the following:

"Chemtrails! Run for your lives!"

"Chemtrails! Report them if you want to live!"

I'm not really satisfied with these offerings. But, maybe, someone here can come up with something better.

Okay ... I think that has definite T-shirt possibilities, if accompanied by the right graphics.

It was an old just say no to drugs slogan from the 80s. Had a pan with a raw egg in it. Then a pan with a cooked egg. It was fucking retarded & we all laughed uproariously at it. Then went & took drugs.

Hey I found the ad.

It was a Nancy Reagan backed campaign to keep the kiddies safe until Her husband & George Bush Snr could kill us all in a "Winnable Nuclear War" in which they estimated that only 9 million East Germans would die.
Yeah they said that.

The Beach Boys helped her run that Just Say No campaign btw. Oh how we laughed.

I don't remember that TV ad. But, in my defense, I watched very little TV back then. I do, however, remember the fried egg meme on T-shirts, and that's exactly what I was thinking of in my previous reply.

A popular T-shirt I remember, from back in the day, utilized the fried egg meme in a multi-panel design. I did a Google search, but couldn't find a current design that is all that close to the old one.

But, a design with a whole egg in the top panel.

Something like this fried egg graphic in the second panel :  This Is Your Brain on Drugs. Any Questions? Yummy Fried Egg Premium T-Shirt

And, of course, your text, would work.
