My soul brother, Dave, just posted this, and I’m forwarding it on. Thanks, again, Dave….

 All,

 

RE: Meanwhile, over on Fox…

 

I’ve been watching Fox for the last two hours since Trump’s latest indictment was announced.  They have all their rabid pundits lined up and are giving each of them three or four minutes to just rant.

 

And it’s amazing how well each of these rants (while emotionally unhinged and legally incoherent) are following the same basic script, to wit:

 

  • This indictment (by “the Feds” – meaning “Joe Biden”) is nothing less than “an insurrection” against the Constitution.  The Biden “Dept. of Injustice” has no case to make – it’s just illegally and vindictively wielding insurrectionist power to derail and topple “a political opponent” and “a former President and the leading candidate to win the 2024 election”.  Lots of talk about “banana republic” tactics and “illegally weaponized” law enforcement.

 

  • If the Feds can blatantly persecute (and prosecute) Trump this way – then they can do it to “any one of you”.  This is a core Trump meme – that he is the living embodiment (“savior”) of all his followers – and “any attack on Trump is an attack on you” (i. e. his supporters).  The Fox pundits are pounding this theme heavily.

 

  • This indictment is “the start of the Revolution” against the Deep State and globalists.  No, I haven’t heard that precise set of words on Fox yet this evening.  But there has been a veritable tsunami of Fort Sumter-level bombast – lots of thinly-veiled rhetoric about “last straws” and “no turning back now”.  They’re selling full-scale Revolution on Fox tonight.  I sense a mood of “Jan. 6th was just the start…”.

 

  • Bottom line: Fox News (like the rest of us) knew for weeks that this indictment was coming.  They had plenty of time to “get their ducks in a row” for a calculated display of performative outrage and not-so-subtle calls for “taking it to the next level”.  And they’re dishing it out in 5-gallon buckets tonight.

 

I’ll leave you with the single most bizarre quote I heard a few minutes ago from Tammy Bruce, to wit:

 

“All those who laid down their lives at Gettysburg to defend our nation have just been punched in the face tonight.”

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
