Well, this warmed the cockles of my heart. ---

My thoughts exactly; kind of a “hiding in plain sight” scenario there. ---

I work for the USPS, performing routine and corrective maintenance on sorting machines. One of the daily tasks after Operations has finished with a sorter is to do a search for mailpieces that are “fly outs” which have landed at random spots within the machine (typically fewer than ten for a machine that has run 250k items in a day, so don’t worry too much about it), so they can be returned to the mail stream. “What’s schadenfreude-ish about that?” (I hear you cry.) Well, for the past few days we’ve been finding among the flyouts a few identical pink postcards, each hand-addressed to [the America-hating fuckstick] 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, 20500. On the other side they all read “YOU’RE FIRED!” 🙂 ---

I know it’s dark, but eventually perhaps “torn apart” won’t be just a turn of phrase? ---

Keep in mind that this was in a county that is one of the two which are majority Democrat out of 23 total counties in Wyoming. She has also had a rude reception in some majority Republican counties. That isn’t a well-researched story. ---

Albany County went for Trump over Harris, so it can’t be all that good a majority. ---

A side note to the thread. I, as many do, found myself falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole of links to links to links. It lead me finally to [A Carol for Another Christmas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_for_Another_Christmas) written by Rod Serling. It sounded… apt, and there’s a copy up on youtube, so I watched it. The criticisms are true, it’s preachy, slow, and lacking much of the element of hope that redeems most Christmas Carol Adaptations, but seeing Sellers parading around in a cowboy hat with “ME” written on it, wearing a Santa suit, and asking his adoring, chanting crowd to kill those who try to speak with them so they can get on with killing themselves? Oh, **that** was chilling in light of Felon47 and his followers. ---

Oh, no, trouble at the Daily Wire. Their CEO stepped down (and is being backfilled by current owners, rather than getting a new one), and now they’re firing the entire “kids department” they started a few years ago. Clearest link I could find so far is from Breitb\*rt, and even my schadenfreude isn’t strong enough to get me to link to it. They’re circling the drain, and it’s not clear how I feel - do I want them to continue to be a money sink for Ben Shapir0, or do I want yet another failure for him? Probably the latter since they’re causing actual harm… ---

Of course they don’t regret their vote. They’re in a cult. If they admit they regret their vote, they’ll have lost a core part of their identity. The fact that people are expressing disappointment is a Really Big DealTM ---

> [@Maus\_Magill](#): > > Of course they don’t regret their vote. They’re in a cult. Explain how a devoted cultist is posting grievances on a web site where people are claiming that Trump betrayed them. This person isn’t a cultist, just a moron. They probably still stand by their vote because despite being bitter about Trump they hate Democrats and will vote Republican next time too.
