Or Russian controlled. Joy Ann Reid tweeted that over the weekend. She's a special kind of stupid, but it will probably catch on.

it’s definitely not new, evil idiots on the left have been saying this since all this madness started back in May, and I know people who actually believe it. Maybe they’re just ramping it up because they notice that the rioting is pulling badly.

I just had an image in my mind of yelling "pull!" and a commie douchewaffle being tossed up in the air.

The planed "march on Washington" in a couple of weeks could well prove the Dem's Waterloo.  It's clear from Portland that the rioters don't listen to politicians.  The media is going to have a much more difficult time spinning this one.  Not to say they won't try.

Wish me luck, folks; tonight will be my first "Live Meeting" teaching experience, from 6:30 to 9:30.   

It looks like everything is set up/clear, but aside from being nervous in general about messing with technology, it's a three-hour class. Not that I can't talk for three hours, as you're probably all aware, but I've never done it like this before.

Keep polling, polling, polling,

While the streets are roiling

Keep them newsmen spinning, "Right Wing,"

With brains light as feathers

All clad in black Pleather

With guys dressed like gals on all sides

When folks see the burnin'

To Trump they are turnin'

The violence is something we cannot hide.

Tell a lie! Tell a fib!

Tell a fib!  Tell a lie!

Tell a lie! Tell em that they're Right Wing

Cut the scenes! Leave them out!

Leave them out! Cut the scenes!

Cut the scenes and say that they're Right Wing

Keep lyin' lyin' lyin'

Though some folks are dyin'

Keep lyin' that they're all Right Wing

Don't show the mobs so gleeful

Just keep sayin' they are peaceful

Until our Biden-bot has won the pres'dency!

Our pollsters calculatin'

Trump's downfall all are waitin'

Waiting for our narrative to spread.

Tell a lie! Tell a fib!

Tell a fib!  Tell a lie!

Tell a lie! Tell em that they're Right Wing

Cut the scenes! Leave them out!

Leave them out! Cut the scenes!

Cut the scenes and say that they're Right Wing

“They’re just trying to make a show to play in to some conservative idea that Seattle is under attack,” said Ben Sercombe. “It’s not under attack.”

From Kosh last night in the Pub...

I am working on  the blog improvements.

I have the change in my local copy to make new users guests,  not full members.

Now I am working on warning about refreshing the page if there is a partially-entered post.

Once I have both working (probably not tonight), I will give some notice and push the updates. 

When I do so, the site won't work for a few minutes.

May we all meet soon on the other side.  Thanks for all you do for us, Kosh.  Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Crazy, Crazy

Howl like a banshee, do.

When I see Trumpers

I screech like I'm in the zoo.

Out from our parents' basements

We work for the country's debasement.

You'll look unhinged on the street

Assaulting the boys in blue.

I thought I saw they plan to make this a sit-in until the election day. They *want* to make the times interesting, like the curse. I still haven't seen any indication that charges are being filed with instigators and funders of these insurrections.

Thanks, turn!  Much appreciated.

The classes usually go well, but even after years of doing them I get "stage fright," especially before the first one---and doing this via "remote viewing" just adds to it.

Wouldn't it be fun if when they plan their "sit in" there are massive storms?
