> [@Tatterdemalion](#): > > I think that actually is kind of the current situation, and they are demanding change. They’re just doing it stupidly. > > I have a friend that has retired to darkest Appalachia (In the Blue Ridge, not too far from Charlottesville, so maybe not **darkest** Appalachia). I go and visit him sometimes. Every time I do, I notice that there probably isn’t a complete set of teeth in the town, the old folks have lost theirs, and the young folks are heavily indulging in homemade anti-depressants (and can’t afford dental insurance anyway). There aren’t many middle-aged there, except for those who can afford vacation homes in the area. As my friend put, “Everyone with any get-up-n-go done got-up-n-went.” > > But the thing is that all of the residents of the area are staunch Republicans. If you ask them why, it’s because Democrats are all godless heathens, and they aren’t. It a purely tribal thing. > > Are there any, even remotely progressive elements left in the Republican party? It seems to me that that is the only hope. There’s just no way for Democrats to reach the deeply Christian/Nationalist types. Maybe a Bernie Sanders type, with good anti-abortion credentials could make some progress? The “Christian Nationalist” types are all in for Trump. They want a Dominionist (christian sharia, christofascist, neoConfederate, white theocracy) white country and they love authoritarians. They need to be marginalized and crushed, not courted and pampered. They are a disease. Go ahead. Look up Rushdooney, Bailey Smith, J. B. Stoner, Roy Moore, Gary North etc and the Dominionists. It will turn your stomach. THAT is who they are. ---

Does he realize that Twitter is a written medium?

Tweet from yesterday: > [@](#): > > A friend of mine and a man who has truly seen politics and life as few others ever will, Sean Spicer, has written a great new book, ‘The Briefing: Politics, the Press and the President.’ It is a story told with both heart and knowledge. Really good, go get it! Isn’t it illegal for POTUS to promote a commercial product? And it’s not like the admin could claim that since it was a tweet, it didn’t count, because it Spicer himself who said, when asked at a press briefing whether Trump’s tweets qualify as official statements on behalf of the White House that he > [@](#): > > is the President of the United States, so they’re considered official statements by the President of the United States. ---

But, I guess these idiots think they have ALL the guns, or they are the ONLY ones who know what to do with one? Not everyone with a gun is on their side. I expect they would be grossly outgunned and grossly outnumbered. Outnumbered, but not outgunned, not at first. They have dozens of guns each, and think that having that many guns somehow gives them more protection, even though they have, at most, the ability to use two at a time. So yeah, they have a bunch of guns, then we have a bunch of guns. You really only need one each, so we have a bunch of people with guns. ---

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. I’ve watched ICE liberate towns from the grasp of MS-13. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. ---

[US Harley customers are not happy!](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1014146835135516672) One of the comments: “So you believe that Harley Davidson’s customers were so mad about a decision Harley made in 2018 that they used their time machines to go back to 2017 and stop buying Harleys. Man, they must have been really mad! Or you are just really sad and throwing another childish tantrum” 🙂 ---

He _prides_ himself on his ability to write? I’d say it’s a stretch to even believe that he knows how to write at all.
