…news from Amazon:
Well now: considering that the CEO of GrubHub has publicly stated that Trump supporters/MAGA types need not bother applying for positions at his company, I think it’s only fair that this Trump supporter/MAGA type refuses to do business with his poxy company, ever. Even if it’s free.
From the looniest bitch (among many):
Thank you for helping me make up my mind, Kathy. Hope you’re prepared for your suggested outcome because I suspect we are, more so than you.
(Did she think we were going to be scared?)
Of all the comments I’ve read about the Trump verdict so far, Bonchie (over at RedState) has the best take:
So now what?
Some aren’t going to like this, but the answer is to suck it up and do what it takes to win in November. Shouting at the sky, making all-caps posts on social media, and continuing to talk about how unfair everything is won’t move the needle. Trump was nominated knowing this was the likely outcome. None of this is a surprise. This is not the time to quiver. It’s the time to strike back.
This isn’t about liking Trump or not. It’s not about whether he should have been the nominee. There will be time for post-mortems after the election. Right now is the time to get up off the mat and do everything possible to make Democrats regret this for the good of the country and the credibility of the judicial system.
That, and lay in more supplies of ammo.
Because if Trump is sworn in as POTUS in January, the S may well HTF. We won’t start it, but we may well have to finish it.
Seen at Insty’s:
Actually, I think they stole that “strategy” from FuckJoeBiden.
I have to say that I like this move:
Thirteen fed-up counties in liberal Oregon have voted in support of measures to start negotiations to secede from the state and join conservative Idaho.
The proposal seeks to move the Oregon border 200 miles to the west, meaning that 14 counties and several partial counties would fall under Idaho state lines.
Here’s what the redrawn boundaries would look like:
I have no idea how all this would work, but it sure beats back the tired old “If you don’t like it here, then leave” trope, to be replaced with “Sure we’ll leave, but we’re going to take all that farmland and our tax dollars with us”.
Needless to say, the Washgov (not to mention the feddle gov) is going to fight against this tooth and nail.
Get to it, guys, and git ‘er done.
Forgotten in the mists of time is the awful totalitarianism perpetrated on us by the fucking dotgov, whether Federal or state, during The Great WuFlu Insanity. Of course, the legal nonsense — charging, trying and so on — has dragged on and on and persists to this day, but at least there’s been one happy outcome so far:
The co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, who fiercely defied tyrannical lockdowns in 2020, has won a monumental victory after a court dismissed all 80 charges against him.
Ian Smith famously reopened his gym in the middle of lockdown, defying Democrat Governor Phil Murphy’s draconian COVID-19 lockdown orders.
At the time, Smith challenged the Murphy administration’s mandates, arguing they were unconstitutional and detrimental to small businesses.
Wait: 80 charges? Even for the People’s Soviet of Noo Joizee, that’s a little much, don’t you think?
Anyway, here’s the story:
A swarm of police officers burst through the door of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey arrested the owners for violating Governor Murphy’s authoritarian shutdown order.
“Well, this was a first,” Dowlen said in a Facebook post. “I stayed the night in the gym writing, my book clients Ian & Frank were just waking up, I’m gathering my computer & notebooks, just waiting for the guys to come out for a few final questions, and then a SWARM of Camden County Sheriffs & local Bellmawr police (with K-9 units waiting in a vehicle) come bursting thru the door….to me, sitting there, writing, by myself.
Surprisingly:
First & foremost, the law enforcement officers were polite & respectful.
Lucky they were only NJ cops, not the Oz Schutzpolizei. But it’s a good thing he didn’t have a gun, though, or else the NJ fuzz would have gone all Canberra on his ass.
Anyway, it got worse; much worse.
The State’s aggressive response did not end with the arrest. In a controversial move, Governor Murphy and his administration seized $165,000 from the gym’s accounts—funds that Smith claims were amassed through donations and apparel sales to support the gym’s legal battles. This act was a punitive strike meant to cripple the gym financially and serve as a stern warning to others who might consider similar defiance.
“Governor Phil Murphy seized 100% of our assets today – $165k, all of which came from donations and apparel sales. This is done in the middle of ongoing litigation defending ourselves against these fines, our 80 charges, the revocation of our business license, and the unconstitutional health department shutdown. This was never about protection, it was always about control.”
However, since he has been acquitted of all the bullshit charges — with prejudice! — Our Hero has not gone humbly off into obscurity. No sir. Instead:
Smith did not mince words, directly challenging Governor Murphy with a phrase that has since gone viral: “Suck my dick Phil Murphy.”
…which is why he’s my kinda guy.
