Why March Fourth? The question answers itself.

Next date to prepare for will be the 4th of July, unless I’m missing one or ten between now and then.

March madness will involve a lot of basketball games and my favorite team choking in the last 30 seconds of a playoff game. March 4 will only bring out a few of the most gullible fascists and Ted Cruz.

These are the same fools that are awaiting the rapture or being picked up by aliens. The date will continue to be pushed back because that is all the hope they have in their pathetic lives.

Isn’t it amazing what can happen when the folks in charge are not impeded from paying attention to what’s being said around them?

If any rightwing knucklehead isn’t savvy enough to recognize that DC and Capitol Police are ready to dole out a little payback for January, then they deserve the impending beating they so richly invite.

They got their free punch. It won’t go so easy for them next time.

Well, there is that but the original inaug date set in the Constitution was also 4 March.

“Beware the Spring Imperative.” I’ve always called it that (March Fo(u)rth.) It was my version of “Beware the Ides of March.”

Would there be a good reason shoot to kill were not the standing orders for anyone attempting to violently breach the Capitol building this go around?

Which makes me wonder if they’re going feint right, and their real target is somewhere else.

And then there’s this.

Community outside of Des Moines, polling place for a school board election. And damn those nosey dog-walkers for foiling this plot.

Concern about QAnon…and the fact that the GOP continues to lie about the election.

Crazy ideas make people do crazy things, and that is no lie.

This could be an annual event. Suggested names: Qualloween, Qanonmas, Queaster, Quanksgiving, Queefer Madness. Or maybe UnBoxing Day, lots of gifts under a special Q Tree that are actually all empty.

So, the “patriots” want to stop elections, in a democracy.

Meanwhile, Trump still hasn’t conceded the election, and nobody talks about that.
