The campaign for hyperbole

| December 12, 2016

Bush Derangement Syndrome is being replaced by Trump Derangement Syndrome. ANSWER calls on their troops to protest at the inauguration;

This country needs a real political revolution. Millions of people feel entirely disenfranchised by a political system that delivered the least favorable and trusted candidates in U.S. history. Many hoped that the Bernie Sanders campaign would represent a new direction and opportunity to take on entrenched power and extreme inequality, for a higher minimum wage, to defend Social Security, rebuild the labor movement, provide universal health care and free tuition.

That campaign was largely suppressed, but its end does not change the desires and aspirations of tens of millions of people, workers and youth in particular, who are demanding real change. On Inauguration Day, thousands will be in the streets to give voice to the millions of people in this country who are demanding systemic change.

Donald Trump is a racist, sexist bigot. We believe that tens of thousands of progressive people will be in the streets on Inauguration Day and in the weeks and months afterward.

An organization called #DisruptJ20 (Disrupt the January 20th Inauguration) doesn’t like the democratic process;

Trump stands for tyranny, greed, and misogyny. He is the champion of neo-nazis and white Nationalists, of the police who kill the Black, Brown and poor on a daily basis, of racist border agents and sadistic prison guards, of the FBI and NSA who tap your phone and read your email.

He is the harbinger of even more climate catastrophe, deportation, discrimination, and endless war. He continues to deny the existence of climate change, in spite of all the evidence, putting the future of the whole human race at stake. The KKK, Vladimir Putin, Golden Dawn, and the Islamic State all cheered his victory. If we let his inauguration go unchallenged, we are opening the door to the future they envision.

Trump’s success confirms the bankruptcy of representative democracy. Rather than using the democratic process as an alibi for inaction, we must show that no election could legitimize his agenda. Neither the Democrats nor any other political party or politician will save us—they just offer a weaker version of the same thing. If there is going to be a positive change in this society, we have to make it ourselves, together, through direct action.

I guess if your candidate doesn’t get elected, that’s a license to be a jerk. I don’t remember any protests at the inauguration of President Obama, or any calls for “direct action” as ominous as that sounds.

“I guess if your candidate doesn’t get elected, that’s a license to be a jerk.”

Just look at our Jerk-in-residence… oh, I forgot, he was a jerk before the election.

New direction with Bernie Sanders? WTF that worthless hippy p.o.s. is a dyed in the wool communist, just like the frigging clintons, and the communist muslim a.h. in the off white house, what kind of NEW DIRECTION? Just the same old shyt only deeper……new direction, what a ph-cking joke!

What I hope does not happen is that on 20Jan17 some deranged progressive (but I repeat myself) tries to assassinate someone at the inauguration, forcing the Secret Service to neutralize them. That would give the mediots and deranged some more fuel for their fire.

That expressed, I’m pretty confident that the professionals will keep that from happening.

Ex-PH2

If they’re smart, they’ll use a tranquilizer dart on the deranged progressive and whisk him/her/it away in an ambulance.

Graybeard

Tranqs are notoriously slow to act, and if the target is sufficiently motivated can be ineffective.

An apples to oranges: When my youngest brother was an LEO, they had an escaped Great Dane that was very aggressive (took a bite of rump-roast from another LEO). My brother tranqed him with the recommended dose, then had to repeat multiple times (somewhere between 6 and 10 times) and the dog never fully lost consciousness, was defiant even with massive amounts of drug in him.

If something similar happened with a deranged attacker, they could still up their kill count before the tranqs took over.

remember a time when a Marine was put in the pokey as under the influence, he turned out to be on PCP and when he came down, grabbed a pair of scissors and killed an aide. The guards at the exit of the confinement hallway (I believe at Bethesda?) tagged him something like 7 times with .45s…finally one of them got some sense and put one about the bridge of the nose and stopped the affair. Purportedly happened late ’70s? Can’t count on anything that doesn”t do massive damage to the central nervous system to stop someone fast.

A guy in Sfrancisco was high on something and an officer shot him 6 times with a .38…..didn’t even slow him down….thats about the time we ALL went to .357’s!

The articles says “bankruptcy of representative Democracy” ? guess the genius never learned we are a REPUBLIC not a democracy…hummm maybe that is his complaint, he wants the majority to rule, when we know that the majority now a days are NUT CASES!! Thanks to the NEA and the dumbing down of at least 2 generations of spawn!

“The rubes wised up, and our bullshit isn’t working anymore.”

Perpetually victimized offended idiots gonna be perpetually victimized and offended.

I would say the indignant SH1T$ could at least research some truth about the statements made, but see above.

Trump Derangement Syndrome? I prefer Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder (TARD), thus we can refer to those moonbats as “TARD-o’s “!

Better yet, we can call each of those booger-eating proglodytes “Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder Operatives” (TARDOs). ????

‘…the FBI and NSA who tap your phone and read your email.’

Oh. My. God. We’ve gone back to the 1960s and nobody told me. I don’t hear my cell phone clicking and fading when I call someone, though.

If they want to read my e-mail, that’s okay. Maybe they’ll send me a Christmas card or something?? Hey! Spy Guys! Wanna read my journal, too? It’s boring and wordy and full of run-on sentences, but I could use a good critique. Call me.

Daisy Cutter

My journal is filled with dangling participles.

CC Senor

Watch out for those gerunds, too.

Ex-PH2

Dangling participles, gerunds AND split infinitives!

We’re all doomed!

Graybeard

Compounded by the inability to distinguish the differences between “there”, “their” and “they’re” and similar homonyms.

SFC D

You can’t say homonym anymore. It’s not gender neutral enough.

Daisy Cutter

I think I’m homonym-o-phobic.

Amen, they can read mine too, in fact, com’n over and I will tell them a bit about “honor, loyalty, patriotism, integrity, ” things they obviously have not learned in their ivy, communist covered colleges!!

Eden

“Trump’s success confirms the bankruptcy of representative democracy.”

That right there is the key. They are attempting to use Trump’s election as an excuse to dismantle our entire system of government and to replace it with mob rule.

Graybeard

I believe you are correct, Eden.

Stacy0311

To the TARD-o’s I say, “Bring the revolution”
Just remember, we’ve got the guns 😉

2/17 Air Cav

Yeah, that sucks. They disarmed themselves, helped to disarm others and now want a revolution. Well, I do find them revolting but not at all intimidating. I rather enjoy it, actually.

A Proud Infidel®™

The TARDOs have always tried to paint Gun Owners as violence-prone troublemaker types. Given the number of us and the amounts of ammo we own, anyone with a brain could see that if we wanted to be a problem we would have been long ago!

Roger in Republic

And we really enjoy shooting them… especially at moving targets.

Talk about an unexpected bonus! I only voted against Wide Load in selecting Trump.

You’d think we got thrust right into a scene from “Escape from New York”.

Where’s Snake Plissken when you need him?

The only ones up in arms are the liherald and progressives, who don’t believe in guns. This will be an extremely quiet “revolution”.

26Limabeans

Probably be the most watched event evah.

rgr769

I’ve been watching these Commie and crypto-Commie progtards (ANSWER)for years. They always yap about revolution. They would carry out one if there were enough of them, but nationwide there probably aren’t more than a few thousand of them and their fellow travelers, like Commie Poodle. They are basically a bunch of whiny pussies who neither have guns nor know how to use them. The only thing they can shoot off is their mouths. They are adept at having protest signs professionally printed and organizing marches. They are basically traitors; and if there ever was a real revolution or civil war, we would make short work of them. (Code Pink is affiliated with them, if that tells you anything.)

The Other Whitey

To be fair, I’m sure a couple of obscure extra-wingnut skinhead fucktards called for violence against Obama. But nobody listened to them because A: they’re racist inbred dipshits and contrary to popular belief, the overwhelming majority of conservatives are neither racist nor reactionary, and B) we’re only aware of their existence in an abstract sense, nobody actually pays attention to these dickheads, except their own cousin-sibling-sex partners. There weren’t any activist organizations with A-list donors calling for violence. Nobody blocked a street wearing a McCain t-shirt shouting that somebody needs to die. Hell, even the Oath Keepers, for all their talk, went no further than to say “we’re waiting for him to make the first move,” which he didn’t.

It goes back to the old maxim that conservatives think liberals are wrong, but liberals think conservatives are evil.

rgr769

These barking moonbats are not “liberals” by any stretch, unless your definition includes communists, Stalinists, and Marxist/Leninist “revolutionaries.” Also, they are not just wrong, many of them are mentally ill.

A Proud Infidel®™

IMHO liberalism is a Mental Disorder and liberals perpetually prove it with their deeds and words.

rgr769

I would not dispute that.

Roh-Dog

‘Direct action’….hmm. Sounds very doctrine-y.
Does someone want to let those idiots know the first amendment doesn’t cover sedition. (Oh wait…lets keep that to ourselves.)
Remember the left and MSM had their panties in knots over the Tea Party and were suggesting the same recourse?
The foot is now shod by the shoe that covers the other foot.
Let’s hope they keep it civil.

A Proud Infidel®™

I doubt they will, just look at the anecdotes of vandalism, looting, rapes, drugs and the like from “0ccupy” infestations versus the same from Tea Party Rallies. I remember taking part in a few Tea Party rallies where any LE Personnel present were treated with respect and in return they acted like they didn’t mind being there at all!

2/17 Air Cav

“Let’s hope they keep it civil.” If not, let us hope that the response of law enforcement is swift, harsh, and certain.

Daisy Cutter

Direct action is code for something underhanded.

Roger in Republic

Usually violence!

2/17 Air Cav

Everyone knows that January protests in the northeast don’t work out well. It’s freakin’ cold in DC in January. It’s all good fun until the sun goes down and wind begins to howl. The DC gov’t tends to frown on open fires and the cordon will be quite solid and carefully placed. If I were Trump, I would invite Obama and his wife and children to walk Constitution Avenue with me. Symbolically, it will serve to demonstrate the peaceful transition of power but it will also cause a would-be assassin to question his marksmanship and a snowball thrower to doubt his aim and arm.

FatCircles0311

Come Jan 20th, 2017 hippies everywhere……

I can already smell them.

26Limabeans

Could be pouring rain.
Bring soap as a deterrent.

A Proud Infidel®™

I remember the old stainless steel fire extinguishers one could fill up with a garden hose and pressurize with an air compressor. Maybe a person could acquire one, fill it with soapy water and watch the proglodyte moonbat hippies MELT when they’re hit with it?

Ex-PH2

According to the Farmers Almanac, Jan. 16-19, there will be an Alberta Clipper bringing an accumulation of several inches of snow to the northeast quadrant. Jan. 20-23, Snow changing to rain.

Sounds like fun to me. Pneumonia weather. Cold, snowy, rainy, freezing temps overnight.

Good times!

11B-Mailclerk

Folks, this is a personal security warning.

It is badly mistaken to believe that “gun control” advocates, and the left in general, neither possess firearms, nor believe in using them to further violent ends. Many of them do have them, and there is no reason to believe them to have abstained from the multi-year binge buying of arms and ammunition.

If the lefties ferment violent revolution, the key players will be armed, probably a great many of them, and they will use firearms with determination, even with glee.

Some of them even train and practice. I personally know at least two far left types that are quite openly proud of their arms, and skill with them.

The thug-front of the Left has no problem with the moral relativism of “gun control for thee, but not for me”. Nor will they shirk form violently re-educating folks who oppose them. They are counting on the relative law-abide-ness of the Right/patriot types, to disarm them while retaining their own effective monopoly on Force. But know with certainty, they are not -dependent- on successful disarmament for their ends. It’s just a tool in the box to be used as much as feasible.

Confident online statements that a right/left war would be one-sidedly noisy are foolishness of a fatal order. Beware. Some of them may

11B-Mailclerk

…. sigh..

Some of them may be better typists, too.

that last “some of them” was a fragment from further above, somewhere.

Roh-Dog

As a Infantryman myself I count it as a win when I don’t break, drool all over, or eat my keyboard.
Your point stands. When the left states openly about ‘re-educating’ the other side I get images of camps as seen in Red Dawn.
Worried? Naw… Concerned? You bet.

Ex-PH2

Aww, 11BMC, it just looks like you passed out on your keyboard from sheer fatigue.

Come on, it’s Christmas. Stuff like that is allowed.

11B-Mailclerk

I did that once on active duty. I was binge typing a bunch of awards the Battalion had binge-awarded for some serious binge training.

I was then about a 5-10 WPM typist.

Long about oh-dark-thirty, the Z-monster sucked out my remaining brain cells, and out I went.

BAM! Keyboard face.

Leaves a really odd set of marks when you face-plant a Burroughs word processor. The SDNCO sent me back to my barracks with an admonition to stop typing with my face, as it was not an improvement, nor was it an authorized method.

Ex-PH2

Now, that is THE funniest thing I’ve read this week! Thank you for the wonderful laughter!!!

Still laughing!!!!

Graybeard

I have certain images of the guards for the Black Panthers around various of their leaders…

Yeah – the thug Left is capable of doing harm.

Ex-PH2

In response to your warning, this is the reason I prefer the bow over ballistic weapons. Arrows are silent, swift and deadly, and can be recovered and reused, and new shafts made to replace broken shafts. And yes, a strong enough bow can send an arrow more than 100 yds to the target.

11B-Mailclerk

I spent one summer running an Archery range at a summer camp.

Concur. Useful weapon. Useful skill. Lots of fun, too.

Some ladies who are seriously gun-phobic take to the Bow like Diana herself.

Thunderstixx

I don’t know if this is true, but it damn sure ought to be.
If it is, this next eight years is going to be so damn much fun I doubt we can stand it !!!

This is your current Democratic Party at work. They are busy whipping up the people who still swallow their nonsense into a frenzy. Today’s San Diego Union-Tribune has, as usual, two front-page articles, one from the New York Times, and the other from the Washington Post. Both of them are plumped up with a little “The Russians are coming!!!!” hysteria, as is an op-ed article from Michael Gerson, “An Act of Cyberwar.” The Washington Post (WaPo) and the New York Times (NYT) remain petulant about their inability to spike the many, many real news stories about the misconduct of the DNC, their news organizations, other news organizations, and a wide range of Clinton Staffers, not to mention both Clintons, found in the various leaks during this election season. For the big sin of publishing leaked material, the WaPo and NYT have slandered Wikileaks, Breitbart, Reddit, the Alt-Right, and Steve Bannon with any ugly term they can manage to sling. Now, Gerson says as if it were a fact that the “CIA has shared with Congress its finding that Russia intervened…” Nope. Not true. This is fiction. He is citing a WaPo article that cites an anonymous person paraphrasing an anonymous person. The only “finding” so far is that we STILL do not know who did the leaking or hacking. There is a dead DNC staffer and a missing former officer of the Clinton Foundation, both believed to have been possible sources of the leaks. Meanwhile, over at Reddit, the kiddies are running some of their posts and comments through a translator to post in really bad Russian, and changing their flairs to Russian flags, just for fun. If anybody wants to know what happened to this election, the better course would be to explore the actions of David Brock and his gaggle of entities designed to fake public participation in the national debate, including particularly Correct The Record (CTR). To their credit, even the Clinton Campaign staff through David Brock was an unhelpful nut. His paid commenters harassed a few obstreperous Trump supporters until they developed a crowd of people… Read more »
