They may have the F-15s, but we have...PINKY:

I like to think of Shelter Dude as the Government trying to hold us on a leash around our necks. We are Pinky. And clearly, Pinky does not comply.

I think I need an “I’m with Pinky, be ungovernable” t-shirt. That is hilarious.

Being a cat of many parts, his F-15 is the most lethal ever, as it is equipped with his own GGGGG - the Gato Global Guano Guidance Gizmo™, which can invariably and quickly home in on the smell of bullshit and place ordinance within a square meter of the source.

Imagine if only he had an entire squadron, what a wonderful world it would be.

The entire fucking (pardon but I'm in a really bad mood) retort to these people boils down to "I know you are but what am I?" Just completely insane, the grim truthfulness of them being everything, always, they say the other guy is.

We just can't get out of their damn fifth-grade playground.

Expand full comment

Spot on. But the difference is in the playground someone would just kick their asses when they got too annoying. Been saying for a while that none of these idiots - politicians, faux experts, etc, would pass the playground test because they are so clearly full of crap. They'd get laughed off or pounded.

I wish this made me laugh instead of clench my fists at my sides until I cut myself with my fingernails.

I probably shouldn't have also clicked through the Twitter links.

Every time he says things like this, I feel like we're being goaded by a bully that wants us to make the first move so they can tear us apart. But what price do we pay for pacifism by refusing to rise to the provocation?

Expand full comment

Yes, that is exactly what they are hoping for. Someone will undoubtedly do something stupid (look how many people believe the shit that's on tv these days), but there won't be anything of substance, without provocation. It will just be another excuse though for these pathetically limp wannabe dick-tators to crank down the ratchet, one click tighter.

There are many opportunities to correct the course of this country, and it will take time, but we will overcome, even this clown-show regime.

I'm so sick and tired of being angry, even if I'm wise enough not to take dumb bait.

I want my fucking country back.

Expand full comment

Right there with you. Went into our nearest large city today. Dear God, it's a fucking shambles, and clearly things are going to get so much worse. Food shopping is a nightmare. To deal with our upset and angst we turned to comedy, and discussed our dinner plans - favorite brands of cat chow. Hopefully we'll have enough money to continue to buy Science Diet, failing that, Purina. I pray we never have to lower ourselves to 9 Lives. I hate that stuff, it's too salty.

9 Lives is cricket flour, and I swore I'd never eat cricket flour.

Cricket flour, no wonder! I should have known...

Yeah, Alpo, mmm...the canned stuff is not half bad, doctored with a little wine and garlic, served warm over pasta, maybe topped with a little Parmesan, nice crisp little salad on the side (an old revenge fantasy of mine, when years ago a man who is no longer in my life showed utter indifference to my superb cooking. Think I later saw the exact thing in a movie).

Amen, Guttermouth. I'm so far past over putting up with this shit.

We may overcome, but it won’t be at the ballot box, and the jury box is looking pretty weak too.

We don’t know that. Joseph Kennedy bought the 1960 election and we had elections after that. The key is to overwhelm the other side. The Dims have a built in lead due to media interference but they can’t buy everyone.

This time everyone will be watching....and everyone knows it.

If they steal this election all bets are off.....But we must try.

Not so. Where are all these supposed right-wing hotheads we've been told by government are skulking around ready to kick off a violent attack?! Another leftist big lie, unfortunately. They are evil.

Oh, I don't think it will be as described by the creepy joe regime, who projectile vomits its insecurities onto everyone else.

I don't think it will be as you described "supposed right wing hotheads".

Yup -- Jan. 6, anyone?

Funny how they're no longer showing the video of that Capitol Police cop, seen from behind waving the "insurrectionists" in.

Expand full comment

Somebody PLS find that video? We have friends whose 15 yr old son went in, just sort of went along with the throngs. He was imprisoned for months in a terrible gulag-type situation, like I didn’t know we had in thr USA. He’s home, for now, pending his 3rd trial. His crime? “Going into the capitol.” His weapon? “A little knife which was IN his snapped leather holster the entire time. He’s got an ankle bracelet. He’s a good kid, good grades.

They got him via geofencing, a pic and “some stuff he’d written online”” We’ve said worse just kn this substack tonight. He harmed NO one, and took out his weapon zero times. His parents are $250,000 in debt to lawyers and they aren’t even finished.

Good God, how terrible. I had a friend (he has since passed away, I believe from the jab) who almost went, I talked him out of it. Told him, "They'll be layin' for you."

Having trouble finding it (no surprise there). Here's the closest I've been able to get: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/huge-video-surfaces-capitol-police-waving-protesters-inside-moving-barricades-aside-standing-protesters-walk/

I distinctly remember video of a uniformed officer (on the left side of the screen) standing outside, waving the crowd in.

Expand full comment

That's outrageous.

Expand full comment

I suspect that Lt. Byrd shot and killed Ashli Babbitt because he was under orders to kill someone so that they could say that the attack on the Capitol was a deadly attack.

Expand full comment

You know, that's the one aspect of Jan. 6 that gives me pause: do we have a good idea why Ashli Babbitt was climbing through that window? The visuals provide a fig-leaf for the otherwise absurd notion that the protesters were "rioters" involved in an "insurrection."

Thurs. Sept. 1 - Really sorry to say, I think the cheat is in place for the midterms. Sarah Palin just lost to the first Dem to win in 50 years. Oh well yeah, Alaska has been turning so blue, huh?

Yes, for us protest would come at a cost. It certainly did on Jan 6th.

Yeah, the closer we get to the midterms, the more you're gonna see. When Biden said there's one mass shooting a day did he mean in real time, or were those the plans currently on the table?

100%. The failed invasions of Afghanistan and Vietnam are examples of this.

Going one step further, consider the following: a fighter jet is a great tool for wartime, but is useless for maintaining a police state.

An F-15 can't stop you on the street and ask you for your papers. An F-15 can't kick down your door and search your home for contraband. You need police and soldiers for that.

Imagine they used an F-15 to level a neighborhood of alleged rebels. What then? They'd probably injure a lot of innocents, which would play into the hands of the rebels.They'd destroy infrastructure which consumes money and resources to rebuild. And lastly, they'd simply kill people, and no one wants to rule a nation of corpses.

This is why private ownership of small arms is such a critical deterrent to both foreign invasion and domestic tyranny.

Isoroku Yamamoto…”You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

“A” rifle???? Most likely, behind some “blades of grass” there is an armory.

Expand full comment

What if your F-15 could drop a neutron bomb? Less property damage and you would soon have some nice places to stash your immigrants.

Or possibly you could just use a bioweapon and convince your citizens that they needed it to stop from killing Grandma? You would not even need to be so environmentally destructive as burning jet fuel for your cleansing.

100%.

It's virtually impossible to violently repress a populations when literally millions of them have various firearms stashed at home.

It is a guerilla type of situation but on a scale that has never been attempted. Larger territory, larger population, greater number of guns and other resources than any guerilla war in history.

Which is why they are trying to disarm the population and control people in other ways that don't involve actual ballistic warfare, like the whole social credit / digital ID stuff.

Expand full comment

"Larger territory"

This is key. The US has densely-populated cities separated by hundreds of miles of nothing. Its too large of an area to effectively patrol. Just think of how many cops it takes to wrangle all the drunks in a city's bar district at closing time.

sounds like the plan is to have f15 eagles attacking civilians, im sure the pilots would be down for that

by the way, who services the f15s? who makes the parts? THE PEOPLE you dumb shit!

Expand full comment

Prolly why they're trying to weed out those who think like us from the military.

Talked to a retired Green Beret with 30 years of service a while ago about your point. He seems to think most in the military would happily obey the President and attack the populace. I was a bit saddened by that.

And really, anybody who votes for this guy or whoever is Dem nominee next time around is completely insane, or really, really stupid, like IQ of 1 stupid.

Expand full comment

i had a similar chat with an ex tank commander once and yes they would be stupid enough to attack their own. some will refuse but not enough

the problem is as soon as there is footage they will not get resupplied, once they run out they are finished, then guerrilla warfare begins. no fuel, no ammo, no parts

They might even encounter difficulties in obtaining basic subsistence items on base, like food.

"note that this idea is not as wild as it sounds. at the time the 2A was written, private citizens were allowed to own the most powerful weapon in the world: a ship with dozens of cannon."

I think we need to reevaluate this. Think of how many lockdowns would have been prevented if any small club had access to more interesting hardware?

I believe that powerful tools in the hands of people is important.

People believe that citizens having some of these things is inherently dangerous, but as we've seen...the balance of power being so tilted towards the state and corporations also has it's dangers.
