During the second year of the Great Prevarication, the people were terrified as the

MAGA plague continued to rage across the land. Having suffered under the smirking Cult of Mendacity since Fraud Almighty had squatted on the Altar of Liberty, the people knew not where the Truth resided and wondered aloud if Orwell had, indeed, been a prophet.

Then came---first a murmur, then a few passionate voices and then a roar sweeping across the land---- as the people spoke as one: ENOUGH!

And it came to pass that all the twisted evil creatures who had drunk so deeply of Fraud Almighty's cup were driven from the Land of the Free and forced to spend their remaining days in Society's Desert, where Fraud Almighty continued to hawk "MAGA" caps and vulgar shirts to them.

And, lo, one who they had so reviled then stood before them and spake thusly: "NO MORE MALARKEY! How likest thou them apples?"

I'm almost afraid to ask---was the "Space Force" a real thing? Are there actually genuine

"Space Cadets" practicing somewhere with their phasers?

To those who insist that immigrants are being brought into the US to "replace" American

workers: identify three Americans who were so replaced---full names, addresses and contact info, OR---shut your pie-hole!

After the first-graders were slaughtered, after the Congresswoman was shot in her forehead at

point-blank range, after the klansmen wannabe murdered the people who had just prayed with him, after we learned what "bump-stocks" were when the Vegas madman sprayed death down on dozens, ----------------after each one of these and literally countless other senseless atrocities, we thought "Surely, this will do it! Surely this will be the tragedy that compels our government to protect us with stricter gun laws!"

After Buffalo, ---------------------------------------------------sigh-------.

As much as the motivation of the 18 year old racist who killed 10 in Buffalo sickens us,

perhaps just as nauseating is the realization that countless thousands of our fellow Americans are actually applauding the murders and count this killer of mostly elderly unarmed black shoppers as one of their heroes. And, as sure as death and taxes, his defense fund will receive tens of thousands of dollars from his genuine fans.

I cannot think of any place for such racist monsters in my world. I am not interested in hearing that this murderer is "misguided" and I do not want to hear that he is "sick".

Mad dogs are sick. This killer is evil.

There is no place for either in our society.

This SCOTUS could save a lot of time if they'd just announce that any appeal approved by

the Heritage Foundation will be affirmed by a 6-3 decision and any appeal not so approved will be denied by the same margin.

The GOP will auction off the privilege of writing the actual decision with the proceeds to be distributed in such manner and to such entities or individuals as they deem appropriate,--- none of which is anyone's business!

Was Humpty a SCOTUS Justice when the 2nd Amendment was "reinterpreted" in HELLER?

---from "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll:

"When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”
