Mid-week Update: Scared little boys playing soldier

news, , , , ,
Of course, they are irony-impaired, so they don’t get it…

It’s been a while since I did a post using a bunch of the memes, cartoons, and similar graphics that have been accumulating on my hard disk without finding their way into a blog post.

I also have a few stories that I don’t want to wait until Friday to comment on.

Ed Buck Guilty of All Charges Against Him, Will Likely Die in Prison This guy got away with preying on homeless men for far too long. The short version: rich white bastard who donated lots of money to local elected officials over the years, had a fetish about watching black men take a lot of drugs until they passed out, then he fucked them. Two that we know of died in his apartment, and based on the videos he took (and assuming that he was doing it for years before recording it became so easy), he’s probably responsible for a lot more. Anyway, yeah, I hope he rots in prison.

Metro Atlanta spa shooter agrees to guilty plea deal in Cherokee County shooting, gets life without the possibility of parole This is only the first case. He faces more charges in another county. If you don’t recall, this is the idiot who shot up some day spas because looking at asian women made his dick hard, and he’d been taught by his fundamentalist evangelical church that being horny was a sin worse than murder. So he murdered a bunch of strangers. Again, I hope he rots in prison and dies behind bars.

"Trump Man" Guilty In Serial Pooping Spree – Ohioan, 70, targeted gay neighbors for ten years Besides the fact that he was only sentenced toe 20 days and to write a letter of apology, his letter is obviously a big lie. Why is that? Well, he insists in the letter that he didn’t target these neighbors for harassment because they were gay. No, it was because they were Biden supporters and he’s a "Trump Man." Other than the little fact that Biden only became the Democratic nominee a year ago, and Trump wasn’t running president until a bit over five years ago — but this guy has been doing this to his neighbors for at least 10 years. Long before he could have become a Trump man. He’s a liar and a homophobe, and I wish the judge would hold him in contempt for the letter…

That’s enough for those sorts. Let’s close with:

Exactly!

Weekend Update 10/31/2020: Scarier than any Halloween costume

news, , , , ,

“These are the headlines... God, I wish they weren't!”
“These are the headlines… God, I wish they weren’t!”

I’d rather just be posting a bunch of Happy Halloween images, but here we are:

Biden Team Cancels Texas Event After Highway ‘Ambush’ by MAGA Cavalry – Dozens of pickup trucks, many with Trump flags, surrounded a Biden campaign bus as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin. The trump supporters, many heavily armed, outnumber police 50-to-1.

Very fine people, I’m sure. And so brave to confront a bus full of “libruhl snowflakes” like that…

Stanford study estimates that 18 crowded Trump rallies ultimately resulted in 30,000 coronarvius cases, 700 Deaths.

“Proud Boy” Charged In Polling Station Bomb Threat.

Woman accused of impersonating prosecutor, dropping criminal charges against herself.

Jerry Falwell Jr. Sues Liberty University: You Damaged My Reputation And The Lincoln Project Is Behind It All. I don’t know what to say about this. It’s there a point where the judge can say (looking at the mountain of news covered that came out over the course of years ranging from the two pool boys to the sketchy real estate deals, to his own posting of the questionable drunken picture on his own Instagram account), “You had no reputation left to destroy”?

Republicans closely resemble autocratic parties in Hungary and Turkey – study – Swedish university finds ‘dramatic shift’ in GOP under Trump, shunning democratic norms and encouraging violence.

I’m not sure it’s so much a shift, as simply stopping hard on the accelerator in the direct the party steered toward first under Nixon, but what do I know? I’ve just spent the last 50 years reading the news and debating Republican supporters in real time…

I can’t deal with any more of this depressing news. Let’s move on.

It’s Halloween! Here’s a spooky song:

Ryan Adams – Gimme Something Good (with an assist from Elvira, Mistress of the Dark):
