Media Event - 'A National Day Of Who Gives A Damn?'

The War - an epic fail of Antifa (Anti Fascist) - had the stated goal of ousting the Trump/Pence Regime...

TRUMP/PENCE MUST GO!
THE NIGHTMARE MUST END!

...and the overthrow of the U.S. Government...

NO TRUMP!
NO WALL!
NO U.S.A. AT ALL!

Others are less enthusiastic about a revolution.
This bit of advice from A GLOCK FANBOY...



If I understand it correctly, the gist of Mr. Fanboy's message is...
'If you take away my pen, I'll draw my sword!'

Others of Mr. Fanboy's ilk have publicized THEIR schedule of events for the Civil War...

Nov. 4...Civil War.
Nov. 5...Martial Law.
Nov. 6...Antifa Massacred Nationwide.
Nov. 7...Business As Usual.

Should Antifa fail to heed Mr. Fanboy's advice, social upheaval in a land of hundreds of millions of firearms in the hands of tens of millions of people could be...interesting
And colorful

So.
How do y'all see this playing out?

1) Antifa overthrows the Trump Regime & the entire U.S. Government and replaces it with...actually, I'm not sure with WHAT they plan to replace it.
Their plans are a mite sketchy on this minor detail
Presumably, it will NOT be Fascist...they being ANTI-Fascist, you understand.

2) The Trump Regime/Establishment (possibly assisted by Mr. Fanboy & his associates) will prevail...successfully putting down the rebellion.

3) Potential revolutionaries will heed Mr. Fanboy's advice en masse and sit out the Civil War, which will thus fail due to lack of interest

The Following Laws Reflect Life in the Real World: Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping-they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time!

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

More Rules to live by! 1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.

2. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship "I apologize " and "You are right. "

4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

5. The only really good advice that your mother ever gave you was, "Go! You might meet somebody! "

6. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her...BELIEVE them.

7. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself, 'Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?'

8. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!

9. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.

10. Work is good, but it's not that important.

11. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.

A Peace To End All Peace, A Century Of Intervention In The Middle East.
- Interview with David Fromkin...

When I saw the mess on the pavement I sighed. It is garbage day and my brother-in-law took the dustbin out when he went to work this morning. The bin was on its side and the contents were strewn over the place; luckily mostly in smaller plastic shopping bags, but they were all torn and some of the contents were spilled out.

Among others, a larger bin liner that was filled with old clothes that I had discarded during the week. Most were pulled out through the gaping hole in the side. Bloody dogs, I muttered as I started collecting the clothes.

“I hope you plan to clean up this mess when you’re done,” the voice said behind me. She had a terrible accent. I once met an English couple who spoke like that. They came from Yorkshire. I was pissed off and she did not improve my mood. I ignored her while I carried on with my menial task.

“My friend told me to look out for you vagrants raiding the dustbins and making a mess.” I still kept quiet, hoping she would go away. She disappointed me. “You South-Africans are very messy. I’m from England.”

“Yorkshire?” I asked, but more like a statement than a question.

“Yes, how did you know?” I almost told her I’m psychic but checked myself just in time. It would just have opened another topic for discussion.

“An educated guess”, I said while I righted the dustbin and started putting the bags back in the bin. For the first time I looked at her and wondered why she mistook me for a homeless person.

She was a rather plain Jane and in my slightly faded blue jeans, blue & white striped golf shirt and blue Nikes, I was certainly better dressed than her. My hair was neat; I only had it trimmed yesterday and I was cleanly shaved. Maybe I wore too much blue to her liking. I wondered if she would approve of my red underpants as I opened the gate to go back inside.

“Hey, where are you going?” she asked.

“I live here, do you mind?”

“Is it your house?”

No”, I said. At least that part was true. “The house belongs to an eccentric millionaire and I’m looking after it while he is abroad.”

“They say these eccentric millionaires are very stingy and they dress shabbily. Does he pay you to look after his house?”

“No, but he said that I may wear his clothes while he’s not here.” I don’t even feel guilty about all the lies. My brother-in-law is not a millionaire, he is not abroad and his clothes will be much too large for me.

She stared at me for a few seconds, probably trying to figure if I was serious. “You know, sarcasm won’t get you anywhere”, she said.

“True, but then I was not going anywhere. I’m not dressed for it.”

“Oh!! You are such an a**hole!” she said as she wheeled around on the one heel and sauntered across the road. Only then I noticed what a sexy a** she has. As she entered the granny flat across the road I realized that she was my neighbor's new tenant. Not a good start at all.

Scent of a Woman

Y'all know, we see some folks who like to toss around the terms like racist, or fascist or homophobe---often without justification, and even without understanding the full meaning of such terms. Such behavior gives chronically insecure types a warm and fuzzy feeling of moral superiority over others they consider knuckle dragging dummies. And so it is with their views of the payment of taxes by the wealthy. Again, often with little data, we hear such and such a tax plan only benefits the wealthy, or that the rich don't pay their share. Interesting, the pols who say these things themselves usually came to the government jobs with money, and the 180 or so large pay they get, not to mention the best health care and pensions none of us could dream of, don't hurt. But here's the surprising fact. While the lowest 50% of wage earners pay almost NO federal tax, the top 1% (that's one percent, folks) of income groups pay a ful 28% of federal taxation confiscatory dollars. Look it up. VKH-Aa.
