This is correct. I was just trying to be ironic. Sorry if I baited anyone.

Thanks for being kind to me and assuming the best. As it is, I was doing an ironic shtick in the same vein.

Hmm? I’m not familiar with that term. He just left me this bat with his friends’ signatures on it, and a few religious symbols. It’s pretty stained, but it’s got a lot of sentimental value. He didn’t say much except that he used it to teach Nazis a lesson by beating them…at the game of baseball. Always that pause near the end as grandma gave him a sharp look. She must have not wanted me to hear about his baseball stories.

30%: underpaid

40%: immorally underpaid

50%; criminally underpaid

100%: Les Miserables

“Hey, babe! New Hitler Youth merch just dropped!”

“They’re labeling themselves?”

“Yeah! They got race-supremecy friends and everything!”

“Let me grab my grampa’s bat. He beat so many Nazis with this…at the game of baseball of course.”

“Of course.”

You okay, Gulf Coast?

I feel personally attacked.

“Do my job for me?”

“No.”

It’s important to have a scarier, if less dangerous, boogie man when one endeavors to do terrible things to otherwise rational people.

Because we didn’t know what was going on. Reagan paved the way for Trump, and it goes back even further. This has been several decades in the making. Sorry if I’m preaching to the choir here. Thanks for entertaining my rant.

That’s a really good point. It’s just a super purge.

Yeah, rewarding blind loyalty above competence is not a good long-term strategy.

Hank Scorpio : Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?

Homer : Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.

Hank Scorpio : Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there’s four places. There’s the Hammock Hut, that’s on third.

Homer : Uh-huh.

Hank Scorpio : There’s Hammocks-R-Us, that’s on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.

Homer : Mm-Hmm.

Hank Scorpio : That’s on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot… Matter of fact, they’re all in the same complex; it’s the hammock complex on third.

Homer : Oh, the hammock district!

Hank Scorpio : That’s right.

Habanero crepes. Going down is only the first half. The next day is wrath part 2.

Maybe it’s a typo? A mandate from a few Americans people? A mandate by the American Assets? A mandate from the BRICS people?

Me too. That quote evoked from me the loudest snort of derision in recent memory.

Emergency Broadcast System: This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the Quadrennial Purge enacted by the U.S. Presidentt. Citizens classed at $100M net worth and higher have been authorized the commission of any and all crimes with impunity. All other classes are restricted. Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall not be harmed. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for the rich for 48 continuous months. Fire, and emergency medical services will be unavailable as soon as they’re defunded and until next term when The Purge concludes. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and America, a nation reborn. May God be with you all.

That’s exactly it. Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t. I think they probably made the smart choice. I assume breaking the law to follow orders would have been used as an excuse to make arrests and parade them around as corrupt, deep-state, Bidenistas.
