Quickest way to bring Q-Anon to its knees:

Get out the rumor of solid, photographic proof that Q is female . . . and Black . . . and transgender . . . and a Muslim . . . and a } gasp { Democrat.

We understand nudnik adolescents think they're invulnerable. Not so much folks not even yet middle-aged.

BBC: "Research suggests more than half of [Brazilian] patients being treated in intensive care last month were under 40."

What the fuck is WRONG with you?

Nobody fires a taser at a man fleeing in a car.

That DOES raise the question: "Why do we NOT have a sort of taser for vehicles - something with a mini-EMP delivered by wire, and meant to take out the engine control unit (ECU)?"

@ChaplainheArt @TCRG2012 Desantis would have no way of knowing so, but if somebody would tape his dick to a bar I'd do an Apache two-step on it - for just a nickle!

@emmogene Thanks for the bouquet, Emmogene.

ATTENTION, ALL LOYAL
PRAYER SOLDIERS OF
THE GOP and TRUMP

Don't listen to these yahoos. Q himself has stated they are a part of a network of deep-state plants meant to cast doubt on the holy war we're . . .

. . . wait. Did I just say holy war?

Oh . . . well . . . hey . . . ya think?

Further, ya think I care?

Actually, I kind of do. Watching the slow-motion implosion of a morally bankrupt political party is a delight. To that extent, my delight is 'caring'.

Polio was endemic in small-town Minnesota, and in '52, epidemic. Many of us knew a kid who had it, and parents restricted our socialization. It took Dr. Salk two and a half years of breakneck work to come up with a vaccine.

March 2020, locked down. April 2021, vaccinated.

Feeling a little 'La Soufrière' this morning.

You?

News cruising, I see a picture of the Capitol insurgency, and my reaction is "a bout of severe illness", perhaps because I'm struggling a bit with my radiation therapy.

It was not just that, of course. It was a flare-up of a disease America caught long ago, and continues.

While I was in Vietnam, Clark was shaping up to be a one-man ACLU.

In retrospect, being in Vietnam wasn't all that bad, save for all those little bastards running swarming all over the place and trying to kill you.
