I Don't Have A Secret

A new poll has revealed that the Number One concern of voters at the moment is not inflation or CRT or even Jewish space lasers.

It's threats to democracy.

Yes, voters are worried it. They've read the papers and doom-scrolled online enough to understand that the GOP is not their trickle-down buddy any longer and might not even have their best interests at heart. In fact, the American public seems intent this mid-term in telling the Republican Party to go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

I'll bring the sprinkles.

-----------------

New GOP strategy: Stop passing authoritarian legislation far in advance of elections as it seems voters understand the fuckery they're up to given enough time.

-------------------

Dear Florida Minorities: If you're afraid that Ron DeathSentence will arrest you if you try to vote (and that's why he's now prosecuting 20 innocent people for voting) then vote him out of office. You can do it.

-----------------

The Harper's Index reports that Democrats are much less likely to date a Trump voter than a Trump voter is to date a Democrat.

The take-away: Democrats know an oblivious dick when they see one.

-----------------

Quick rumination:

Those opposed to abortion should also be against car repair. In their minds, every conception is perfect and requires no maintenance, just like a car fresh from the factory.

-----------------

And, on a personal note:

The North Texas weather gods have a sick sense of humor.

First sixty consecutive days of hell-fire and now a monsoon for the next week.

At least it's not freezing.

News & Notes for August 22, 2022

Psychotic GOP candidate: "The Bible says it's okay to stone gay people to death."

Dr. Anthony Fauci to step down after 50 years of service. Thank you, sir, for all your hard work."

Senator Ron Johnson said he was only involved in a murder, I mean, in the fake electorate scandal for just a few seconds.

$1.6 billion dollars in dark money given to the Republican Party by a single donor, because money is free speech and fuck all you little people.

If the article the poll was in didn't break it down properly, that is classify the people who answered, look up the source of the poll. They should break it down as to how many Dems, Rebs, No Party said "concerned". Usually they include age and gender as well. Also consider any surrounding questions looking for slant or outright elbow nudging. The question itself should also be looked at. And as they always say, "consider the source". No matter how hard one tries thoughts and beliefs will show through.

The one poll I saw stated that whatever-percentage were ‘concerned about where the country was headed’. OK – does this mean that they don’t like where PRESIDENT Biden is taking us? OR does this mean that they don’t like where the rethuglicans are try to take us? That’s the trouble with statistics . . . no one clarified this. As Mark Twain supposedly said: Lies, lies and statistics.

Until this is clarified, I won’t get too enthusiastic about folks supposedly seeing a ‘threat to democracy’. This ‘threat’ can be considered to be coming from either side, depending on your POV.

Thank you.

Moose, the "upside-downiness" was sort of the point. But you knew that.

Nice touch with the upside down bible.

The policy of the GOP is to make everyone except their puppet masters suffer.

If u listen to Revelation Number 9 backwards, you hear the Republican platform

"At least it's not freezing. " Oh, boy. You have no clue how jinxes work, do you?

StevieB

"... not freezing." ...Yet. What did they say about a cold day in Hell?

eddi is on Fire!

First day of Biden's second term, he should release an executive order declaring a certain elephantine group a terrorist organization, and put a bounty on 'em.

TFG did it! Trump sues Justice Department over Mar-a-Lago search www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62640448 "Former US President Donald Trump has asked a judge to freeze a justice department investigation of files seized from his home in an FBI search."

And why he loses before he even starts: "On Monday, his lawyers asked that a "neutral" third-party attorney - known as a special master - be appointed to determine whether the seized files are covered by executive privilege, which allows presidents to keep certain communications under wraps."

FYI, only a for real President gets to claim executive privilege.

It seems the GOP upper management is worried about who is winning their primaries. "Totally unelectable" is a common phrase. Right after, "Yes Mr. Former President illegally kicked out of office."
