I don't smoke or vape...

But I am interested in what you got for edibles.

What’s tasty?

A sobbing Kyle Rittenhouse already won -- even before his trial is over

If convicted, he'll become a right-wing martyr. If he is freed, it's a message to others like him that prison won’t be in their future.

By Issac Bailey, professor of public policy at Davidson College and author of "Why Didn't We Riot? A Black Man in Trumpland"

Kyle Rittenhouse, in an unusual move for a defendant, took the witness stand Wednesday. He cried. His defense team then made a motion for a mistrial with prejudice, which means Rittenhouse couldn’t be retried. But whatever the court rules, he has already won.

He’s charged with reckless homicide, intentional homicide and attempted intentional homicide for shooting three people (killing two of them) who were protesting the police shooting of yet another Black man, Jacob Blake, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer. The protest followed many George Floyd-inspired ones that erupted across the world calling for police accountability and justice for Black lives. White allies, like the ones Rittenhouse shot, were among the protesters. Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty.

f Rittenhouse is convicted, he will likely stop being a right-wing mascot and become a right-wing martyr. If he isn’t convicted, he will set a precedent for others like him to pick up guns they shouldn’t have and thrust themselves into the middle of unrest they should avoid — confident in knowing that prison won’t be in their future.

To his supporters, and even many of his detractors, Rittenhouse isn’t a monster. Not really. He was a young, dumb kid hyped up on the Foxification or Fox News effect of American discourse on the Black Lives Matter movement in a country that fetishes guns — for show, for sport and for killing — not a white supremacist, like, say Dylann Roof. Not really. He wore no hoods and didn’t wrap himself in the Confederate flag. He’s a patriot who tried to bring calm to chaos because, as Fox News prime-time host Tucker Carlson told us at the time of the shooting, the adults around him wouldn’t “maintain order.” He was so nonviolent that police officers greeted him and those like him like fellow guardians of the community before he killed anyone.

Hey...

November 3, 2021

Once in office...

Youngkin and Sears will launch an immediate attack on Gov Northam’s accomplishments, attempting to dismantle what he’s done. They’ll work to underminei both Democratic US Senators and, most of all attack free speech, legal fairness, reproductive rights, racial equality and the state’s LGBTQ community. With the help of the GOPr controlled, they will wreak havoc on the state’s budget and resources, making it more harder for lower income families to make ends meet. The state will become a breeding ground for radical right wing groups and racists of all stripes, especially those hostile to the Federal Government, given Virginia’s proximity to Washington DC.

Expect violent acts against vulnerable groups and individuals, acts and rhetoric to center and support white supremacy, various forms of voter suppression, a bend toward police state authoritarianism and general malfeasance, incompetence and corruption in public office. Expect a rise in hate speech, incendiary rhetoric, white grievance and general in-civility out of the State House and halls of state government. Natural disaster responses will be mishandled, the state, which is particularly vulnerable to climate change, will either botch efforts to mitigate it, or eliminate already established procedures enacted by Democrats. Gawd help those in Virginia, if we’re subjected to another pandemic.

The question is, however, what’s next? What needs to be done for the Commonwealth and all of those people in it?

Democratic activists need to be proactive. They can’t depend on the population centers to bail them out.

The clock is ticking. Winsome Sears will be a formidable opponent, if she chooses to run in the next gubernatorial race. The most extreme factions of the GOP are already moving to support her and she’ll be happy to pander to white supremacists, racist trolls and Trump cultish insurrectionists.

The next four years will be rough on everything and everyone in Virginia.

Time to do what needs to be done.

After living there for 17 years, I had realized that VA is a microcosm of America vs Dumbfuckistan

https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/election-results/virginia/?itid=hp-top-table-main#governor

According to these election results, all the urban, modern areas of the state, all the major cities, NOVA and Hampton Roads are secure Democratic strongholds and went for McAuliffe. This areas are multiculturally diverse, well educated, centers of employment, with a vast number of Federal employees and military personnel and their families. If anything, these places are typically American, as is America that represents what you and I know as America.

These are the areas that make VA a purple state that elects Democrats, especially with the power of superior demographics.

The more rural part of VA is straight up Talebornagain Dumbfuckistan, and all of it went for Youngkin. Mostly white and as backwards as all get out, triggered by heavy doses of RWNJ propaganda, fear-mongering, white grievance and Trump cultishness. These people do not care that Youngkin is unfit to hold public office. Actually it's a selling point to these people. Especially in some of the economically depressed areas of the Appalachia in the far west , who don't have a favorable opinion of government at all, despite the fact that it's the government that they heavily lean upon for support. Although these areas make up the majority of the state's landmass, Democratic votes could be found there... If they bother to get out the vote and not leave it to the population centers to do all the the heavy lifting. I wondering how much the Dems tried to appeal to these voters. It's cleared that that voters in the mostly white areas been poisoned and radicalized over the last year or so.

But this election should not have been lost.

This is a harbinger of what we're looking at in the upcoming elections. We have to fight back and we need to take that fight straight into the heartland of Central Dumfuckistan. If we can't do this, America is thoroughly hosed.

Maybe we should claim "voter fraud" and that the GOP stole the VA Gov Election

Demand an immediate audit of the results and the other BS that the Trumpsters did.

Skip the lawsuits and stuff that would put any Dem lawyers in legal jeopardy.

Maybe a few protests once Youngkin takes office in Richmond.

It's time to get mad.

This shit with unfit, psycho Trumpers taking office will be the end of us all.

White voters are truly bent.

Time to announce the winner of the 15th Annual Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil

Arisen from his dank and depressing grave in South Cakalaka at the toll of the Halloween Midnight bell, we now present the rotting and desiccated corpse of The Late H. Lee Atwater…

"Good Eeeevenging, to those you who are still in the land of the living. Welcome to this celebration of Right Wing Eeeevil. Let's get this over with, so I can go back to moldering and rotting in my grave, shall we?

"You breathers have spoken... With an overwhelming, grand total of 39 of your votes, from my cold, dead hands, this year's the Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil goes to a horrid creature for his THIRD time around the gravestone, the one and only, Addison Mitchell "Moscow Yertle" McConnell

"He truly is a piece of work indeed. .

"It is also my esteemed displeasure to give the Eighth Annual Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney Lifetime Achievement Award for Right Wing Evil, to one Tucker "Fucker" Carlson, for being one all-around Nazi-assed dick on the TV tubes, and a whole lot more.

‘Tucker Must Go’: Carlson Endorses Neo-Nazi Conspiracy Theory On Air

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, called on Friday morning for the firing of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, after Carlson embraced the white nationalist "replacement" conspiracy theory on Thursday night.

"Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement,' if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World," Carlson said during an appearance on Fox News Primetime. "But they become hysterical because that's what's happening actually. Let's just say it: That's true."

"And that's just a taste. Any in depth examination of this evil troll will reveal much, much worse. He's a well deserved recipient.

But, I will now retire once again to my clammy grave until this time next year. Have a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN, all of you breathers!"
