The Last Tetrimino Clicks Into Place

COUP!!!

If you, like so many of us, have come to the realization that the Jan. 6 incident (I won’t use “insurrection”) was pre-planned, but not by the usual suspects blamed by the media (“right wing MAGA/Trump supporters), then read in full and digest the article at this link.

A coup by any other name would be as vile.

President’s Day Weekend Open Thread 2023

This Monday we celebrate Presidents’ Day:

Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. Traditionally celebrated on February 22—Washington’s actual day of birth—the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present.

Inquisition Era: Is It Safe for Conservatives to Dine Out?

Two similar incidents have inspired a question: Is it even safe for conservatives to patronize restaurants (especially with their families)? What is going on in the USA, when we have Trump supporters being publicly “shamed” in restaurants?

Warning to all Trump supporters: Do not be openly conservative or you shall be attacked, shamed, and driven from the public sphere. What’s next? An Inquisition? Burnings at the stake? A High Sparrow to community organize the Faith Militant so they can throw all conservatives into a dungeon until they “confess” and “atone?”

Russian Trolls
