Call this a product of my COVID-raddled brain, or at worst just an example of intellectual curiosity, but:
What if those 87,000 new IRS agents aren’t enough?
And I don’t mean sufficient in number to perform the increased number of audits that these godless fucks seem intent on inflicting us with, but sufficient to handle the — how can I put this delicately? — potential bodycount.
I hope that this is just a delirium-induced thought, but there ya go.
For some reason, Republicans are always loath to bite back at Democrats after the latter bunch of socialists hack away at them.
This is but one reason why they’re known as the Stupid Party.
But as Chris Bedford at The Federalist explains, the time for such forbearance is over.
The only way to fight back is to make the kinds of people who’ve weaponized and undermined the American state suffer for their actions. They’ve arrested their enemies, revived obscure rules as pretexts for partisan attacks, and raided their opponents’ homes, and they won’t be sorry until they’ve felt the same pain.
Yup. Let’s start with prosecuting Hillary Clinton, who actually did what Trump has been (falsely) accused of doing; then we can go on to McCabe, Strzok and Brennan, who all lied under oath.
Give me another five minutes, and I can think of at least a dozen others.
I hope that the Republican “leadership” has a list of people they should target — not as retaliation, but because these people committed crimes (always a good reason for going after someone, regardless of motive).
I’m not expecting much, but that doesn’t mean that I and other conservatives are going to accept flabby, ineffectual actions by a future Republican Congress.
It used to be called “Bulldog Spirit” — i.e. digging in your heels and refusing to take crap from anyone.
And this fine restauranteuse is a wonderful example of the above:
An award-winning restaurant has hit out at ‘holier-than-thou’ vegan customers after it received backlash over its new menu, which does not include any main courses suitable for them.
The Kitchen at London House on the Isle of Wight took to social media to defend itself against ‘nasty’ and ‘bullying’ vegans who were outraged at their decision to refuse to cater to their diets. The popular high street restaurant in Ventnor said that while it used to serve some vegan food they decided to stop due to a ‘militant minority’.
‘We have in the past catered for vegans. Everything from Vegan cream teas, even had special Vegan bacon made so they could enjoy BLT’s amongst other things.
‘We stopped. Why? Because we got fed up with the arrogant, ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude.
‘Please, vegans, it is not a given that we should adapt our menu to suit your preference.
‘If you want vegan food, go to a vegan restaurant – which incidentally if I went to one and asked for a steak I wouldn’t get one, nor would I expect to.
‘You have chosen your lifestyle, it’s not a medical condition that you’ve been forced to endure through no fault of your own.
‘Your choice does not fit with our style of cooking. We respect your choice, and expect that you respect ours.
I would have just told the all veganists to fuck off, but this lady is cut from a different cloth than I am.
Forcing the world to change just to suit your personal preferences is the worst kind of solipsism and narcissism, and good for Our Heroine for standing up to them.
Look who’s got all fwightened:
FBI Director Christopher Wray has claimed “deplorable and dangerous” threats have been made against the agency following the raid on former President Donald Trump’s private residence in Florida.
What did you think was going to happen? That Americans would nod approvingly at yet another instance of over-the-top FBI actions? [See Monday’s post for one prime example]
“I’m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,” Wray said. “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.”
Unless law enforcement is behaving more like an occupying army than actual enforcers of the law. Once more, with feeling, J.D. Tucille’s excellent quote:
“If cops continue to play at being an army of occupation, they should expect the subjects to play their role in return. Vive la résistance.”
But by all means, FBI Director Wray, please continue to let your black-clad goons oppress us. Then when it all goes to shit on you — and one day, it must — wonder how people could be so unreasonable and deplorable.
You little Stasi bastard. Don’t trip on the steps going up to the platform.
I have to admit, when I saw the “Dark Brandon” poster, I thought it was an inspired tongue-in-cheek satire from the Babylon Bee:
The real Biden can’t even rise to an occasion.
That said, if it means that the gloves are going to come off and his minions (FBI, DOJ, ATF etc.) are going to go Full Totalitarian on us…
If you’ll excuse me, it’s time for a little range session.
Here’s one for the ages:
Gun buyers defy Pelosi and Democrats, sales top 1 million a month for three straight years
In breaking the record, people delivered a strong message to liberal Democrats, who last week passed a ban on buying the nation’s most popular firearm, the modern sporting rifle, and other semi-automatic weapons and parts.
Suck it, gun-grabbing assholes.
