The Waco Wackos...

...will meet in Texas tomorrow to share their kool-aid.

No doubt, it will be a threatening and violent speech by the disturbed and dangerous Republican Leader. The more violence he will espouse, the louder will be the applause.

Huge flags of adoration will occupy the landscape, as the Mussolini wanna-be marches back and forth across the stage.

He will tell them that it is not he they are after, it is them. He is the only person standing between them and a tyrannical government.

He will look anything but presidential.

It will be obvious to most that we need to spend more money on mental health.

… too dangerous for Klepper to attend these things. It has sometimes been a little dicey for him in the past. I suspect only the hard core, true believers will be there this time, and they may want a little liberal blood to smear on their foreheads.

He was, but there are widespread conspiracies about this event and even carefully edited videos that the far Right has used to claim this was jackbooted government tyranny. It's a very dangerous conspiracy that went hand and hand with Ruby Ridge.

A savior God implies a failed creator God.
So how many Gods are there and is any one ultimately and infallibly in charge?
Or are they all just big egos demanding what they do not deserve?

, going on to remind of the dreadful event in which the Koreshian cult failed to save their wacko leader, and itself.

Not only was he a child molester he had a huge arsenal that he mail ordered and
threatened the local police and feds with. His own little Idaho there in Waco.

It was for GAWD, of course, so that made it OK. Sarcasm here.

Why not just dampen the adverse effect on democracy by not repeating each and every threat against the country that this felon has to utter? Is it really news at this point or merely trigger words?

My friend's ex was one of the first ATF agents through the door. He got shot in the hand. He had to testify multiple times as to what happened there.

LE ambushed a regional meeting of various bike clubs for a legislative update on motorcycle profiling by LE. Most of the clubs were not 1% clubs, but instead were clubs that helped foster kids, religious bike clubs, a "Pan Head" club which is a classic Harley Davidson motorcycle engine. The DA at the time had everyone arrested and charged with serious felonies. LE knew of pending trouble two months ahead of the meeting but failed to warn the clubs. Instead they set up cameras and waited to open fire. Not a single defendant was ever convicted.

There's a NOTAM, from the old (& sexist) phrase "notice to air men" (pilots) to avoid the airspace due to "VIP movement."

In this case I'll assume VIP stands for Vile Ignorant Person. It's a darn shame we can't get protestors on the tarmac. I know that would never happen, too many security issues, but I can dream, can't I?

In effect:
From March 25, 2023 at 2115 UTC (March 25, 2023 at 1615 CDT)
To March 26, 2023 at 0015 UTC (March 25, 2023 at 1915 CDT)

The fact that he's not leaving until 7:15 pm the next day makes me wonder if he's meeting with someone or someones? Maybe Abbott? Abbott worked with DeSantis on shipping immigrants across the country & I'm sure Trump didn't like that. Maybe meeting with Abbott to try & talk him into endorsing him? Dunno, just spitballing.

NOTAM details:
