We get the government we deserve. If we refuse to really demand justice, we will not get justice, and the most horrible criminals will remain unpunished. True scum like Fauci, Hotez, Hillary, Comey, Biden, Hunter, Schiff, and hundreds more. The worst people on earth.
Yes, I’ve often thought this. It really is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people- which is why nation-destroyers always make moral corruption of the people their top priority. They encourage porn, immorality, greed, covetousness… all the sins, especially going after children and young people (no spanking, that’s child abuse- instead they confuse and harass them sexually, and scare them about the climate hoax du jour, until they’re a mess.) Once the citizens of a country are debased, dumbed down, and distracted by their ruined lives- they are easy to control. Let’s not forget, too, that along with the mental and spiritual poisoning, we have been physically poisoned with horrible vaccines, drugs, and “food”. If anyone knew actual history, they would be appalled.
Not only all you said, when someone calls attention to man’s sinful nature and points to passages in the Bible that prove his point, they annihilate them. (Charlie Kirk, may he rest in peace and his legacy live on.)
“Epaminondas, you ain’t got the sense you were born with!” (Not you, poster. You got sense. Just quoting a book that my wife was read to from as a child. She never forgot that line.)
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
How incredibly relevant to our contemporary societal upheaval, emphasizing radical contrasts with no middle ground... explicitly illustrating that our time is practically identical to that of Dickens'.
Well done Agent 1-4-9... Well done indeed! Kudos and Golf Claps!
I suggest shaming these people, in the nicest possible way, for ignorance and lowly behavior. “You made me do it” doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. We need to remind ourselves and others that we are responsible for our own actions in this world. No blaming others.
If creatures from the underworld would just quit voting for them—as much as anything just to spite Big Orange or MAGA—but Tylenol Karen’s are FO how that turns out. 😵
Looking at Adam Schiff and James Comey...it's not good for me to feel this much hatred for someone first thing in the morning. I'm going to work on that for my own sake, not because they don't deserve it. The smug "just watch me, I'm untouchable" pathological destructiveness wrapped in lying is infuriating.
Note to the wench running for political office in Michigan: We don't need to "get our guy back." His memory and his legacy will continue long after Kimmel is off the air, and you yourself are completely forgotten.
That she laughs at a brutal murder says all we need to know about her lack of a soul.
Just read your post and commented Thank you! My friend was CFO at a private grade K-12 school for the broods of Hollywood (in Santa Monica.) He would tell me crazy stories from beyond the Hollyweird. 😳
Comey, I knew all too well that you were trouble. But in my wildest dreams, I didn’t expect you would be indicted. Whether it was bad blood or karma, you’re not going to be able to shake off these charges.
I think this DOJ understands what’s at stake, how the People feel, and why he must face the exact same punishment any of us would if we were in his shoes.
I can relate to that. But I’ve not seen patriots like this in these positions over the past 30 years. This is the closest we’ve ever been to ridding our government of the corruption. If we can’t do it now it will never happen because we will never get this chance again, short of a civil war that is.
Oh, the Democrats aren't the ones we need to ridicule right now.
It's all them normal establishment Republicans like Marc Thiessen tweeting he really doesn't like the Comey indictment but...
I (She Who Is of No Party) voted for lawful retribution just as hard and fast and thorough as we can get it and to have every federal agency scourged of those who don't, and the nice-suited guys who've been the helpful advisors whenever there's a Republican administration, and to be in think tanks when there isn't, and they want Trump emasculated of all power.
The Dems are gonna wear themselves out with all their screaming; I truly love the timing of the Comey indictment just in time for Jimmy Kimmel to get back on the air. My ice cream comes karma-flavored.
Meanwhile Jim Jordan achieved a total of zero with that big Google get because he actually got nothing. He must keep a lot of sand to throw in the gears in those extra-tall suit pockets of his
You may disagree. I recommend we demonstrate self-control by keeping the rhetoric and celebration to a minimum. Keep our eye on the ball. Stick to what the Law prescribes in a stoic manner.
So that means you won’t discuss other ideas or interact with someone who you have decided isn’t in your tribe? Curious. How many here are in your tribe?
Somehow I can’t escape feeling the chill of Paul Ryan’s after-spirit lingering in the halls of the Article I branch, keeping the floors glossed with just enough slick slime to prevent traction and inhibit all but a thimble-full of courageous denizen.
the same widespread civic demoralization and apathy that the left used to undermine our country for years, means their histrionic calls for outrage over their leaders prosecution will fall on the uncaring ears of the populace.
It is like being an abusive relationship where the other humiliates and beats you and then demands to know why you forced them into such actions. I am a middle aged white woman who is good friends with a younger guy who is non-white. We decided a few years ago that they were allowing crime to happen so people would be for surveillance. Ten years ago I never imagined that my local supermarket needed a SWAT looking security guard but that is what you have with a low trust system.
To your point, today PM Keir Starmer announced mandatory digital ID in UK in order to work there. The purported excuse being the migrant crisis which was of course a government invention. Create the problem, offer the solution.
According to further reading this is not true. Euan Blair's company is not a software company. There is certainly a ridiculous amount of corruption all around, but I should have checked that assertion before repeating it. No, I'm not in the UK. Northeastern US, and I am a gardener by trade.
I subscribe to ReClaim the Net which highlights all the scary stuff coming out of the UK and Europe in general. They even highlight where the age verification in states like Florida will backfire. It is ironic that it comes out of the UK. I wonder when it will be shut down.
I get Eugyppius. I used to subscribe to the guy who moved to Germany fearing the tyranny of the US only to be prosecuted for using the Nazi symbol on his book. I unsubscribed realizing if anyone was so dumb as to move to Germany to escape fascism was an idiot. I will have to check out Red Pill Germany. Merkel sure did a number on that country with a mind virus that spread.
Interesting. I don’t remember that guy who moved to Germany. If he had significant cash in his bank account he paid a lot in US exit taxes. Then there’s a lot of insurance he’d have paid for coming to Germany. Things like a health insurance account and umbrella policy. If he didn’t renounce citizenship he pays taxes in both countries. 👎🏿
Yes, and I think that's the point of the immigration problems, too. Let in bunches of trouble, so that people beg for surveillance. Please track us all! (egads)
Why follow these steps? Because we don't want another 100 Years War. Revenge leads to retribution and the cycles just repeat until there is nothing left to fight about.
As you remarked, I’m seeing the trends grow for hostility and violence being “the new normal.” Also the tend towards dark ages thinking- a man can become a woman, “believe the science,” “man boy love is still love,” etc etc etc….
We’re moving towards making the basest choices available. Who wins when we’re at each others throat and destroying each other and as you said, when there is nothing left to fight about?
(This is why I stopped listening to Ben Shapiro, besides his hypocrisy, and despite his brilliance.)
As I wrote on another thread yesterday, the folks towards the center need to agree on an absolute standard: Dead bodies bad, live people talking good. In this case, we'll be talking in court and maybe a sentencing hearing. I can't get a good read on Phoney Comey. Do you think he'll flip if he's looking at serious time? Or is he a True Believer?
He’ll flip at least a bit IMO. I say this after watching his body language over the years. Most of them will, but some are too far gone. Brennan and HRC would rather swallow a death inducing pill to get out of public shaming and incarceration.
violence is only low level untill it strikes your own family right ?
Pay attention it's only a matter of time. These people are playing for keeps and they almost had all the marbles. Their insanity must be crushed absolutely, if not they will win & in some states your children already are not your own.
I think we have only just begun to understand the forces and sources that have shaped our culture and country for several decades. We must gather and strengthen our own forces and sources to eradicate theirs. No hate. No violence. I do believe most of the young who believe they are “leftists” are victims. Just not the kind they think they are. They think they are victims of the right, when they are actually victims of the left. We must reach them.
Kindness and inclusive understanding is the key. And I’m not talking sop bleeding heart nonsense. Youth in particular are usually trying to figure out who they are and find acceptance. I like the guidance on these points given by Jordan Peterson from his years as a professor.
I don’t disagree at all. Looks like this in motion both at DOJ and SCOTUS. Slower than I would like but also faster than ever before. My point is how we handle things at a cultural level.
On the side of humanity, civil discourse, and law and order; I wish we would stop with all the unforced errors. The administration should not mention Jimmy Kimmel (looking at you Brendan Carr) nor should they talk using left generated non-sense terms like 'hate speech' (side eye at Pam Bondi). Let them talk! Let them believe that their echo chamber still works. Let them tell us who they really are!
Fine, if 200K citizen celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk, then their neighbors and users of widgets out them to their employers with a simple question: "Does your widget company believe Charlie brought this on himself?" That's it. No outrage. Some of them will stick with the illness, being ill themselves, but some will issue the FO part of the equation with comparatively little effort on our part. It's a sorting hat that will help us identify the redoubts. "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"
I'm weary of the outrage of the crybully class and it is equally exhausting from those who again have a voice after 10 years of being quashed. I'm looking for those with a following to be Joe Friday on Dragnet. "Just the facts, Ma'am." That's it. Outrage is a tactic for those who have no moral compass as smoke screen to make us think there is a heart in their chest. Its so overused that anyone who does have a moral compass will be seen as an empty shell if they resort to understandable outrage. Not fair I know.
The shabby tabby who hosts this little round table is supremely good at the Dragnet approach. May others follow in those pawprints.
I'm not saying that is impossible. I have not read the NOPE act so I can't comment on that other than to say I prefer we have fewer laws on the books, not more. I also worry about what will happen with ammendments and adjustment that focus that weapon only on the crybully's enemies.
Excellent piece. There were pregnant women who immediately filmed themselves taking Tylenol for posting on social media because Trump said that there is a chance that Tylenol may be linked to Autism and caution is warranted. To take a chance however infintismal with your babies health because you hate Orange Man so much is an indicator of mental derangement. These are the one's that the media's lies are directed at, to keep them in a frenzy of TDS. The moderate liberals were woken up by both Charlie Kirk's Murder and the extreme left's cheering of that event. The number of those who recognize that something has gone terribly amiss in the Democratic Progressive Party is growing daily and it will be hard to pull the woll over their eyes this time. I especially liked your differentiating between retribution and accountability, and by emphasizing one and not the other trust of the Legacy Media will deteriorate further.
Nothing is better than watching them reveal themselves with their own words. The last video of the "Hey Maga" woman with the demon laugh at the end. I have seen it in so many such tic tok videos now Thomas Sheridan is probably right about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4VcZ2i67vI&t=166s
the story of the pot reproaching the kettle it is black... politicians resemble quarreling toddlers. I think toddlers would do even better than they if they were to decide on things, though.
There are entire studies about the invention of games and rules made by children to enable fair play. They usually seem to figure it out on their own when they’re motivated.
Sandbox squabbles in pre-schools often present as exercises in somber discourse in comparison to the infantile tantrums we have become accustomed to seeing in our legislative assemblies.
I don't know anything about that senator guy, but... how is he holding that mike? And what's with the soft girly hands? Man his age, his hands ought to be at least a little calloused, if only from stuff like fishing and hunting and building stuff for fun on days off from work.
He's got weak hands.
Anyway.
Really enjoying the fallout from Trump's "fifteen minutes" at the UN. The media here latched on to the Tylenol-thing instead. Expect them to quote a joint Swedish-American study, a long-running one that concluded last year involving over 150 000 people.
Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal but yes - my experience is that is the guy has lily-white hands with a "wet dish-cloth"-like grip, his character is much the same.
One boss I had at a company that made and handled cargo-pallets, it was like shaking hands with a brick of margerine. Made you want to take a "Crying game"-shower just from standing next to him.
And he was greedy, stupid and that kind of petty criminal that thinks he's such a mastermind he needs to brag about his tax-dodges and dirty dealings. To people he does business with.
Gato, I found your substack not too long ago, and you are giving me a fantastic civics and world history/culture class! I have never heard or read before all the things you are linking together, that underpin our society now. I was thoroughly struck by your article on Second World Societies a few weeks ago!! I had no idea we are currently in one, but your explanation was fantastic! I only have a high school diploma, but I read a great deal, and I would love it if you somehow self-published some kind of book where all these meaty essays would be contained. I would love to see them altogether, because it is obvious they all interconnect. I would really like to have a chance to reread and digest everything more fully all in one place. I have relatives by marriage that I would like to have answers for when they come at us with all the leftist, lockstep drivel. Your points are so clear, my hope would be to give them little seeds of these truths, so that they may enlarge their minds in a good way, help them to see reality!
DemonRats never realize that you often are paid in the coin you use.
They're seeing the other side of the coin now, and they're wailing like the babies that they are. Suck it up, donkey folks. It only gets worse.
Not only are you getting your just deserts, but you keep on doing the crap that caused this mess, and will reap that harvest as well.
The lust for power is like every other lust - it blinds you to truth and makes the acquisition of that power your only goal. Only now there's a new sheriff in town!
You'll all look good in orange, and in gen-pop where all the criminals you've spawned and allowed entry are. Deal with that you bastards.
With apologies to Dickens---It was the fucking aroundest of times, it was the finding outest of times.
They are so used to a two track justice system that they can't process the fact that they can actually be held accountable.
They can't be and they won't be.
It depends on the will of good and honest people.
We get the government we deserve. If we refuse to really demand justice, we will not get justice, and the most horrible criminals will remain unpunished. True scum like Fauci, Hotez, Hillary, Comey, Biden, Hunter, Schiff, and hundreds more. The worst people on earth.

Great comment 👍
Sadly, I agree, although, I do pray for them to be held accountable.
“Epaminondas, you ain’t got the sense you were born with!” (Not you, poster. You got sense. Just quoting a book that my wife was read to from as a child. She never forgot that line.)
Pure power politics.
Isn't that from 'A Tale of Two Ideologies'? ... ;)
Ha, perfect!
I had to ponder on this for a bit...
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
How incredibly relevant to our contemporary societal upheaval, emphasizing radical contrasts with no middle ground... explicitly illustrating that our time is practically identical to that of Dickens'.
Well done Agent 1-4-9... Well done indeed! Kudos and Golf Claps!
See also Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold.
Dickens deserves all the credit, but thank you.
Yes, Dickens penned one (no pun intended) for Comey:
Hard Time
LOL
And all God's people said, "Amen."
That was the best rephrasing of an of a classic I've ever heard. LOL. Great one. I'm using it.
Haha, thanks. Go for it.
Fucking Jamie Raskin. Creatures from the underworld should be disqualified from serving in Congress.
I suggest shaming these people, in the nicest possible way, for ignorance and lowly behavior. “You made me do it” doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. We need to remind ourselves and others that we are responsible for our own actions in this world. No blaming others.
I think it is the only way.
If creatures from the underworld would just quit voting for them—as much as anything just to spite Big Orange or MAGA—but Tylenol Karen’s are FO how that turns out. 😵
Only matters who’s counting the “votes”
The mail in ballots
The unsupervised ballot boxes
The unkept voting records
Etc
Or Jamie Ratskin as the case may be.
which leaves a handful of people. if that.
Huh? You're saying that most of us are from the underworld?
from the govt
I'm sorry, Ingrid, but can you please expand on that? I still don't get what you're asserting.
Creatures from the underworld should be disqualified from serving in Congress.
That's why I write them as Demoncrats.
Agreed. I think I getcha now.
Please be accurate in your accusations:
fucking commie Jamie Raskin.
There, fixed it. Happy to help!
Thank you. I must not have had sufficient coffee. 🤙🏿
Looking at Adam Schiff and James Comey...it's not good for me to feel this much hatred for someone first thing in the morning. I'm going to work on that for my own sake, not because they don't deserve it. The smug "just watch me, I'm untouchable" pathological destructiveness wrapped in lying is infuriating.
Note to the wench running for political office in Michigan: We don't need to "get our guy back." His memory and his legacy will continue long after Kimmel is off the air, and you yourself are completely forgotten.
That she laughs at a brutal murder says all we need to know about her lack of a soul.
There are a lot of evil women politicians in Michigan.
Is something in the water?
So well said, el gato. Their hallucinatory landscape just keeps forcing itself into our faces. (And is still on theirs...) https://aynsrants.substack.com/p/violet-affleck-is-correct-masks-are
Just read your post and commented Thank you! My friend was CFO at a private grade K-12 school for the broods of Hollywood (in Santa Monica.) He would tell me crazy stories from beyond the Hollyweird. 😳
The Bubble is strong with them!
The Prozac is strong in them!
Comey, I knew all too well that you were trouble. But in my wildest dreams, I didn’t expect you would be indicted. Whether it was bad blood or karma, you’re not going to be able to shake off these charges.
see if he gets punished though.
Sadly, I agree.
History would seem to indicate that the Comeys of this world seldom, if ever, face any real punishment.
Comey rolled the dice and concluded incorrectly that his side would be there to give him cover long term.
He will escape with barely a shrug.
I think this DOJ understands what’s at stake, how the People feel, and why he must face the exact same punishment any of us would if we were in his shoes.
We'll see. After thirty five years of watching things unfold, I'm not optimistic.
I can relate to that. But I’ve not seen patriots like this in these positions over the past 30 years. This is the closest we’ve ever been to ridding our government of the corruption. If we can’t do it now it will never happen because we will never get this chance again, short of a civil war that is.
If Comey is convicted, I wonder, will he be sent to a woman's prison or to a men's prison?
Very sad that almost nobody will understand your comment
Probably doesn't matter that much. He'll be pegged or sodomized regardless (and probably enjoy it).
Oh, the Democrats aren't the ones we need to ridicule right now.
It's all them normal establishment Republicans like Marc Thiessen tweeting he really doesn't like the Comey indictment but...

You may disagree. I recommend we demonstrate self-control by keeping the rhetoric and celebration to a minimum. Keep our eye on the ball. Stick to what the Law prescribes in a stoic manner.
See how Brendan Carr's statement backfired. Stoicism is the appropriate response for now.
Totally agree.
You don't really understand yet. I'm not in your tribe.
So that means you won’t discuss other ideas or interact with someone who you have decided isn’t in your tribe? Curious. How many here are in your tribe?
I consider my tribe to encompass interesting and thoughtful people. No shortage of 'em here.
Good to know. I avoid over reliance upon tribal group think. Leads to things like taking Coof jabs.
Gato has written several articles on tribes recently. If you haven’t read them, I recommend them.
Somehow I can’t escape feeling the chill of Paul Ryan’s after-spirit lingering in the halls of the Article I branch, keeping the floors glossed with just enough slick slime to prevent traction and inhibit all but a thimble-full of courageous denizen.
I'd say you've nailed it.
the same widespread civic demoralization and apathy that the left used to undermine our country for years, means their histrionic calls for outrage over their leaders prosecution will fall on the uncaring ears of the populace.
Let’s stay calm without mocking emotionalism or we risk falling into their own dark soul eating hole.
But it’s so fun and fulfilling
Like eating a ten course meal at Bouchon
Like eating a giant dominos pizza followed by a gallon of chocolate gelanto. Sleepless nights and stomach ache to follow.
It is like being an abusive relationship where the other humiliates and beats you and then demands to know why you forced them into such actions. I am a middle aged white woman who is good friends with a younger guy who is non-white. We decided a few years ago that they were allowing crime to happen so people would be for surveillance.

To your point, today PM Keir Starmer announced mandatory digital ID in UK in order to work there. The purported excuse being the migrant crisis which was of course a government invention. Create the problem, offer the solution.
Have you seen it's Tony Blair's son who owns the company with the "solution"?
I saw this. Looks like there are 4 kids. He is a billionaire but his company was/is going bully up?
Garden Girl, are you in the UK?
I take it you like gardens. Me too.💕
He was just mentioned in the last two days for something else but not that. I will take a look. Thanks!
According to further reading this is not true. Euan Blair's company is not a software company. There is certainly a ridiculous amount of corruption all around, but I should have checked that assertion before repeating it. No, I'm not in the UK. Northeastern US, and I am a gardener by trade.

Cool! Thanks for the tip!
I like looking at Europe.
I follow “The Duran,” “Red Pill Germany” and “Survival Lily” on YouTube and The Eugyppius Substack. Several people here are also on Eugyppius.
I get Eugyppius. I used to subscribe to the guy who moved to Germany fearing the tyranny of the US only to be prosecuted for using the Nazi symbol on his book. I unsubscribed realizing if anyone was so dumb as to move to Germany to escape fascism was an idiot. I will have to check out Red Pill Germany.

C.J. Hopkins. Good writer and he took on the German machine. Still, I found him insufferable.
I'm watching this intently, as Australia is looking to ban all social media for under 18's....
Yes, and I think that's the point of the immigration problems, too. Let in bunches of trouble, so that people beg for surveillance. Please track us all! (egads)
My inelegant reaction to this toxic soup so well outlined by gato. I welcome other thoughts….
We need a processing structure for rational, honest people who prefer to uphold the elevated possibilities of human nature -
1. Do not be consumed by anger.
2. Remember what has occurred and stand firm against the gaslighting. (As so well laid out by Gato.)
3. Forgive but do not forget (if forgiving is part of your worldview and belief system.)
Let reason and consistency take control in ourselves with demands for the same from our government.
4. Call out the lies in a calm and straightforward manner. Be the adult in the room here.
5. Demand higher thinking in ourselves and others.
There's something missing here. What happened to:
6. Demand actual consequences for the wrongdoing that occurred.
???
The actual consequences will arrive at the ballot box. The Democratic Party is two bad election cycles away from political irrelevance.
You still believe in the ballot box? I haven't believed that since the late 90's, and "hanging chads".....
Definitely agree. Though I assumed we were doing that already. Lol
Of course we aren't.
Haven't you seen the line "It's (D)ifferent when we (D)o it"?
So do you feel that the Comey indictment and rounding up gang bangers is a ruse?
Some people do.
Why follow these steps? Because we don't want another 100 Years War. Revenge leads to retribution and the cycles just repeat until there is nothing left to fight about.
Agreed.
As you remarked, I’m seeing the trends grow for hostility and violence being “the new normal.” Also the tend towards dark ages thinking- a man can become a woman, “believe the science,” “man boy love is still love,” etc etc etc….
We’re moving towards making the basest choices available. Who wins when we’re at each others throat and destroying each other and as you said, when there is nothing left to fight about?
(This is why I stopped listening to Ben Shapiro, besides his hypocrisy, and despite his brilliance.)

He’ll flip at least a bit IMO. I say this after watching his body language over the years. Most of them will, but some are too far gone. Brennan and HRC would rather swallow a death inducing pill to get out of public shaming and incarceration.
I stand with you. Dead people bad, live people good. Comey is a political animal and seems confident. Time will tell.
violence is only low level untill it strikes your own family right ?
Pay attention it's only a matter of time. These people are playing for keeps and they almost had all the marbles. Their insanity must be crushed absolutely, if not they will win & in some states your children already are not your own.
Agreed. Though we must remain principled and Lawful in our actions or we are as low and animalistic as they are. Basic frameworks and Amendments 1-10.
(As much as I’d love to see a return to “death by drowning,” I must leave it to the side.) 🤣
I could only hope to be half the Gato that Gato is.
I think we have only just begun to understand the forces and sources that have shaped our culture and country for several decades. We must gather and strengthen our own forces and sources to eradicate theirs. No hate. No violence. I do believe most of the young who believe they are “leftists” are victims. Just not the kind they think they are. They think they are victims of the right, when they are actually victims of the left. We must reach them.
Kindness and inclusive understanding is the key. And I’m not talking sop bleeding heart nonsense. Youth in particular are usually trying to figure out who they are and find acceptance. I like the guidance on these points given by Jordan Peterson from his years as a professor.
I’m sympathetic to your call to take the higher road. However, there must be consequences for past misdeeds. Boundaries must be set and enforced.
I don’t disagree at all. Looks like this in motion both at DOJ and SCOTUS. Slower than I would like but also faster than ever before. My point is how we handle things at a cultural level.
Those are all wonderful adages... for the rebuilding after the coming nastiness.
Grisly work to be done before then.

Yes. Hávamál 16
Brilliantly put together and well reasoned.
On the side of humanity, civil discourse, and law and order; I wish we would stop with all the unforced errors. The administration should not mention Jimmy Kimmel (looking at you Brendan Carr) nor should they talk using left generated non-sense terms like 'hate speech' (side eye at Pam Bondi). Let them talk! Let them believe that their echo chamber still works. Let them tell us who they really are!
Fine, if 200K citizen celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk, then their neighbors and users of widgets out them to their employers with a simple question: "Does your widget company believe Charlie brought this on himself?" That's it. No outrage. Some of them will stick with the illness, being ill themselves, but some will issue the FO part of the equation with comparatively little effort on our part. It's a sorting hat that will help us identify the redoubts. "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"
I'm weary of the outrage of the crybully class and it is equally exhausting from those who again have a voice after 10 years of being quashed. I'm looking for those with a following to be Joe Friday on Dragnet. "Just the facts, Ma'am." That's it. Outrage is a tactic for those who have no moral compass as smoke screen to make us think there is a heart in their chest. Its so overused that anyone who does have a moral compass will be seen as an empty shell if they resort to understandable outrage. Not fair I know.
The shabby tabby who hosts this little round table is supremely good at the Dragnet approach. May others follow in those pawprints.
What if Brendan Carr was instructed to mention Jimmy Kimmel in order to bait the Dems into proposing the NOPE Act?
I'm not saying that is impossible. I have not read the NOPE act so I can't comment on that other than to say I prefer we have fewer laws on the books, not more. I also worry about what will happen with ammendments and adjustment that focus that weapon only on the crybully's enemies.
Excellent piece. There were pregnant women who immediately filmed themselves taking Tylenol for posting on social media because Trump said that there is a chance that Tylenol may be linked to Autism and caution is warranted. To take a chance however infintismal with your babies health because you hate Orange Man so much is an indicator of mental derangement. These are the one's that the media's lies are directed at, to keep them in a frenzy of TDS. The moderate liberals were woken up by both Charlie Kirk's Murder and the extreme left's cheering of that event. The number of those who recognize that something has gone terribly amiss in the Democratic Progressive Party is growing daily and it will be hard to pull the woll over their eyes this time. I especially liked your differentiating between retribution and accountability, and by emphasizing one and not the other trust of the Legacy Media will deteriorate further.
They’ll be vaxxing their new babies with 80 jabs as well.
Nothing is better than watching them reveal themselves with their own words. The last video of the "Hey Maga" woman with the demon laugh at the end. I have seen it in so many such tic tok videos now Thomas Sheridan is probably right about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4VcZ2i67vI&t=166s
Sheridan has some interesting takes for sure.
That woman is chilling, and apparently she is employed in health care....
the story of the pot reproaching the kettle it is black... politicians resemble quarreling toddlers. I think toddlers would do even better than they if they were to decide on things, though.
There are entire studies about the invention of games and rules made by children to enable fair play. They usually seem to figure it out on their own when they’re motivated.
Hence why social play is so important to developing young humans.
Sandbox squabbles in pre-schools often present as exercises in somber discourse in comparison to the infantile tantrums we have become accustomed to seeing in our legislative assemblies.
I don't know anything about that senator guy, but... how is he holding that mike? And what's with the soft girly hands? Man his age, his hands ought to be at least a little calloused, if only from stuff like fishing and hunting and building stuff for fun on days off from work.
He's got weak hands.
Anyway.
Really enjoying the fallout from Trump's "fifteen minutes" at the UN. The media here latched on to the Tylenol-thing instead. Expect them to quote a joint Swedish-American study, a long-running one that concluded last year involving over 150 000 people.
Weak hands, weak man.
Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal but yes - my experience is that is the guy has lily-white hands with a "wet dish-cloth"-like grip, his character is much the same.
One boss I had at a company that made and handled cargo-pallets, it was like shaking hands with a brick of margerine. Made you want to take a "Crying game"-shower just from standing next to him.
And he was greedy, stupid and that kind of petty criminal that thinks he's such a mastermind he needs to brag about his tax-dodges and dirty dealings. To people he does business with.
I've had the same experiences. Not with every man who had a weak handshake, but far too many.
Gato, I found your substack not too long ago, and you are giving me a fantastic civics and world history/culture class! I have never heard or read before all the things you are linking together, that underpin our society now. I was thoroughly struck by your article on Second World Societies a few weeks ago!! I had no idea we are currently in one, but your explanation was fantastic! I only have a high school diploma, but I read a great deal, and I would love it if you somehow self-published some kind of book where all these meaty essays would be contained. I would love to see them altogether, because it is obvious they all interconnect. I would really like to have a chance to reread and digest everything more fully all in one place. I have relatives by marriage that I would like to have answers for when they come at us with all the leftist, lockstep drivel. Your points are so clear, my hope would be to give them little seeds of these truths, so that they may enlarge their minds in a good way, help them to see reality!
DemonRats never realize that you often are paid in the coin you use.
They're seeing the other side of the coin now, and they're wailing like the babies that they are. Suck it up, donkey folks. It only gets worse.
Not only are you getting your just deserts, but you keep on doing the crap that caused this mess, and will reap that harvest as well.
The lust for power is like every other lust - it blinds you to truth and makes the acquisition of that power your only goal. Only now there's a new sheriff in town!
You'll all look good in orange, and in gen-pop where all the criminals you've spawned and allowed entry are. Deal with that you bastards.
They obviously never thought they would be held to account. Watch out now for new pandemics to be launched.
