Can some one text that Johnson has sex with underage girls and boys so I can have a good joke about it. Then of course I will walk it back. We can all have fun with this game.

I remember when North Carolina was the beacon of southern progressivism, in many, many ways Wisconsin’s southern sister. And, yeah, unfortunately for both of them, they still are.

Little know fact is that there’s a secret Metro tunnel that connects FBI Headquarters and the Comet Ping Pong bunker/sex slave market. It’s also where Obama’s real birth certificate is kept together with his Muslim Brotherhood decoder ring.

What? You think the universe is not governed by a Trickster God who enjoys fucking around with our politics? Based on recent experience?

Johnson sounded crazed and discombobulated on NPR this morning. The cheeseheads really chose well last year

You make a good point. If I was inclined to believe in the existence of a Supreme Being, I would definitely put my money on that entity being some kind of Trickster God!

Sadly, I think there are perfectly adequate (if rather depressing) mundane reasons for the madness we’re witnessing in the political sphere. Racism, fear, greed, ignorance, celebrity-worship…I could go on but I won’t.

The proof is in those. Just look at this juicy tidbit that got leaked (emphasis added)!

Lisa Page: "Gonna pick up milk on the way to my place? :grinning: "
Peter Strzok: "Sure. Do you still need deodorant? Secret, right? :confused: "
Page: "Yep, Secret. Society really demands that I put some on. :angry: "
Stzok: "Not me tho. I love you just the way you are. :heart_eyes: "
Page: "BTW, did you see that latest stupid thing Trump did? :rage:
Stzok: "Yep, he’s kind of a jerk, isn’t he? :unamused: "
Page: “Yep. Don’t forget the milk BTW.”

From a guy who has spend his life studying who and why the lights went out all over Europe. And why they are going out again please see this: Prof Timothy D. Snyder’s “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century”. His YouTubes (esp w/ Masha Gessen) are excellent, too. When he talks about his young eastern European students who have disappeared, it brings a tear. This shit is real.
So when the BS comse flying so fast this is EXCELLENT restorative.

Dickhead Johnson, please see Rule 6 & 8.

Shorter: The 20 Rules

  1. Do not obey in advance.
  2. Defend an institution.
  3. Recall professional ethics.
  4. When listening to politicians, distinguish certain words.
  5. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives…
  6. Be kind to our language.
  7. Stand out. Someone has to.
  8. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom.
  9. Investigate. Figure things out for yourself.
  10. Practice corporeal politics. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them.
  11. Make eye contact and small talk.
  12. Take responsibility for the face of the world.
  13. Hinder the one­party state.
  14. Give regularly to good causes, if you can.
  15. Establish a private life.
  16. Learn from others in other countries.
  17. Watch out for the paramilitaries. When the pro­Leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the game is over.
  18. Be reflective if you must be armed.
  19. Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die in unfreedom.
  20. Be a patriot. The incoming president is not. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it.

When I vote against him in the next election, ensuring that he goes home unemployed, I’ll be sure to send him a letter a day or two later telling him my contrary vote was just a joke.

“Johnson Walks It Back”

Gee, I hope Senator Johnson wasn’t chewing gum as he was doing so. I mean, I despise the stupid, lying fucker more than I could possibly express, but I would hate to see the poor, pinheaded dear harm himself.
