By “structures” I’m assuming they mean things like tents and those party pavilions that get blown halfway to the next county in a mild breeze. “Appliances” has got me stumped though. Especially why they’d use toasters as an example. Unless they were afraid someone would bring one of these > **[Amazon.com: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Toaster, Toasts RBG's Face on Your Toast, SCOTUS...](https://www.amazon.com/Bader-Ginsburg-Toaster-Toasts-SCOTUS/dp/B07YZSDV8K)** > > Online Shopping for Kitchen Small Appliances from a great selection of Coffee Machines, Blenders, Juicers, Ovens, Specialty Appliances, & more at everyday low prices Shoot, the picture doesn’t come up ☹ ---

I’m thinking that since some of these idiots travel around the country for these rallies and camp in line or (nearby) for days, they probably have all sorts of tents and toasters and coffee makers and folding furniture and tons of similar gear with them in line. Gotta leave it in the car, people——even your umbrella. Probably the only thing that sucks more than not being allowed to bring an umbrella into the rainy outdoor rally is being forced to walk all the back _to_ your car in order to leave your umbrella, then walk all the way back _from_ your car, in the rain, with no umbrella, in order to attend the rally in the rain with no umbrella - all because you’re too stupid and volatile to be trusted not to hit someone in the head with your umbrella. _ **FREEDOM!!** _ ---

In [_Clovenhoof & the Trump of Doom_](https://www.amazon.com/Clovenhoof-Trump-Doom-Heide-Goody-ebook/dp/B01N1U4MXO/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=trump+of+doom&qid=1629724289&sr=8-4), the election of Trump in 2016 – and Brexit – are found to be the last two events that need to happen before the End of the World As We Know It predicted by Nostradamus. We can’t have that so Jeremy Clovenhoof and Michael Michaels, the earthly incarnations of Satan and archangel Michael respectively, decide to stop both or either. Jeremy flies to a Trump rally in Florida and fails in an attempt to wrest the mic away from whoever was holding it to denounce Trump. He then hires a taxi to take him to the next rally in South Carolina and bakes a batch of LSD-laced brownies with the idea of interviewing them and submitting their batshit rantings on YouTube. The problem was, when looking at the raw footage, the taxi driver couldn’t tell the ones who got a brownie from the unbaked rally attendees. Meanwhile Michael was having equal trouble in his plot to win the Eurostar competition with a music video recorded at CERN’s LHC with chickens substituted for doves. It’s complicated. ---

Thanks, sometimes I have a hard time finding enough decent reading material to justify keeping my Kindle Unlimited membership. I have seriously wondered if Guiliani’s Eastern European cronies haven’t been slipping him LSD microdoses - ditto for Mike Lindell. It would not surprise me at all if this were true. ---

I doubt that LSD would send one on as wild a trip as these two (among others) have been on. Likewise 'shrooms, though I’ve never experienced those either. Now I’m remembering a cartoon — may have been Gahan Wilson — depicting a puddle of goo with a smoking banana in what’s left of its mouth, and someone in the background yelling, “No! You’re only supposed to smoke the _peel!_” ---

If I had to bet money on the _Arizona Frauditers Claim to have COVID_ story, I’d bet that a) some of them actually ARE infected (because, of course), and b) they really, really don’t want to have to produce that report. What are they going to say in it? ‘Donald Trump received 99.99% of all votes cast in Arizona but then Biden and his secret Commie Chinese buddies flew in fake ballots and we have the proof but we can’t show it at the moment because reasons.’ Yeah. _That’s_ the ticket! They know they’re about to become an international laughing stock, and they don’t have the stomach to face it. Better to go hide in the overcrowded ICUs of Phoenix. ---
