Sometimes, more than sometimes, often, very often, like damn near daily, ok yeah you’re right, daily - Republicans do or say something so out there, so fucking upside down and inside out, so completely and utterly are you f’ng kidding me batshit insane on it’s face, that I actually wonder if I’m the one who has lost my mind.
I haven’t in fact lost my mind entirely, although my kids might sing a slightly different tune when they hear me talking to myself while folding laundry in whatever various accent I feel like talking to myself in at any particular time, although most often it ends up sounding Russian, which I can’t explain because I’ve only ever really known one Russian, her name was Valentina Sinkevich and she was a rather famous Russian poet and really just an amazing woman with an incredible life story, but I digress…
And I so often wonder how it’s still even possible that ANYTHING they do or say can actually shock me, even though it no longer possesses the capacity to surprise me, given the endlessly frustrating game of “Don’t Tip The Waiter” we’ve been playing with their crazy traitorous asses and the perpetual pile on of their bullshit for the better part of 7 years, but honestly — this shit right here set me ablaze with rage when I first saw it this morning. (And Spork Foot said this too):
This chinless, nepotistic, crack-addled twitchy twat wants to talk about HAVING ZERO SELF AWARENESS?!?!? That whole damn tweet is a Russian nesting doll of an absence of self awareness. Setting aside for just one moment, the absolutely astonishing audacity of comparing his thrice indicted, criminal con-man, sperm donor daddy to a hero like Alexey Navalny… I’m pretty sure that we’re all old enough to remember (since it was very likely repeated within the last day or two) when Donald Trump promised to incarcerate any number of his political adversaries or foes.
In fact, since those of us who don’t happen to worship that giant Oompa Loompa, trust what we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears, and refuse to allow someone to tell us that we didn’t in fact see what we saw or hear what we heard, we can ALL remember the many, many, MANY times, he didn’t just passively hint at imprisoning his rivals… there is a whole hatefestpalooza Fucking CHANT about it.
And unless you’ve been living under a rock or you fell and hit your head on one, you’ve heard it. Lots and lots and LOTS of times.
“LOCK HER UP!!”
A phrase so simple, that it’s also conveniently built for seamless adaptation -
“LOCK HIM UP!”
And when the occasion arises for more than one of his perceived enemies to be extrajudicially detained, “LOCK THEM UP!!”
Hillary Clinton of course, was the mold for the chant. She’s the OG LOCK ‘EM UPPER. And I’m sure that distinction is a real feather in her lifetime of public service, zero criminal indictments cap.
But Lordy, did that melon-hued madman’s burn book grow.
