News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
KENOSHA, WI—The aftermath of the riots are grim: dozens of fires were started, hundreds of buildings were burned down, and thousands of Trump voters were created over the past several days alone.
From out-of-control riots in Seattle and Wisconson to violence on the streets in Portland (or, as they call it, Wednesday), tons of property is being damaged, many are being harmed or killed, and, worst of all, new Trump voters are being created every minute.
“This isn’t looking good,” said one CNN analyst. “I mean, the buildings burning down and all the fires and property damage and violence are happening, and that’s fine, but all the Trump voters this is creating — that’s a real tragedy. We must do something to counteract the devastation this will cause in November.”
A study found that every burned-down building causes millions of dollars in property damage and creates up to 50 new Trump voters. A burned-out cop car can create up to 12 Trump supporters, while screaming at people in front of restaurants for not doing your salute can create over 100 Trump voters.
Go here to read the rest. Now the Democrats get to negotiate a classic fork decision: alienate their hard left core that loves the riots as the morning stars of a Marxist revolution, or alienate normals who despise riots. It couldn’t happen to a nicer party.
The moral lens the Democrat party views America is through their own selfish and Godless perspective. This is clearly stupid. And they learn nothing from their own losing experience.
If liberals can pretend Bruce Jenner is a woman, they can pretend I’m wearing a mask
Reminds me of that episode of Bojack Horseman where the controversy was about a singer having a song glorifying abortion. This was deemed to be bad: because it said that abortion kills babies, and that might stop people from having abortions!
That’s the episode that I gave up on the show.
Yesterday, they were applauding the riots.
It’s too late to say you’re sorry, Tovarich.
Vigneron and Bugarin must be excommunicated
The roughly normals in our family who vote Democratic are pretending it isn’t happening or pretending it doesn’t matter or pretending the problem is optics. Yes, we have family in Seattle. Their disposition is toward all of this is feckless. If some of the rabble who’ve been appearing in gentrifying neighborhoods banging on doors demanding people leave were to appear at her door, she might get the message. Which is saying she knows jack-squat until her emotions are engaged. That’s the modal type among older bourgeois Democrats today.

For those here who have been pointing out that Floyd’s blood had more than enough stuff to kill him*…the prosecutor just released a memo saying exactly that.

“It’s alive! Let it loose on the villagers. Show them how bad the President is. I’ll just stay in the castle basement…. polls are looking good..”
Frankenstein‘s monster always returns to the castle. Most often villagers carrying pitchforks or ballots.
