23. It's not the cowardice

but the actual negligence. I don't recall how many firebombs were thrown and bullets were fired at Kavanaugh's house, but THAT got a load of coverage on cable "news" so there . . .what's that? No firebombs or bullets, just protesters keeping a distance away from the home? And the Right-Wing media milked that as if the entire family had been stripped naked, dragged from the house, and forced to drink bad beer while singing The Internationale.

Burn down the house of a judge who blocked Trump and company in their efforts to remove the Bill of Rights from the Constitution -- and almost killing her and her family in the process? Crickets.

Maybe the news will pick up as the day progresses.

Fox News, of course, will remind its drooling viewers about poor Justice Kavanaugh and tell them that, "See, see, see!!! The Left struck first!!!!!" And those mental goobers will all look at each other with a kind of relief ("see, Mable, them libs done started it!) felt only by the congenitally stupid and mentally numb who are just happy that the Mindless Minions of Fox have reminded them once again that, ahem, MAGA good, Democracy bad.

If I were a younger man, I'd be packing my bags for Yellowknife, Canada. America is looking near done for -- unless there is a God and She's as pissed as I am.*

*Even if She were to smite the fascists, I'd still like to visit Yellowknife, "North America's Aurora Capital."
