I flirt with aloof both-sidesism & unorthodoxy, but this Kav bullshit is the sorta thing that brings out the feral tribalist in me. And I mean allying with hard, straight-ticket R like your annoying uncle on FB. Stupid tax cuts for the rich, arsenic in water, bring it, IDGAF.
Imagine the most dumb, incurious, small-minded and greedy Chamber Of Commerce type generic R of your stereotyped nightmares.

That’s me now. That’s My Side. I’m all in. If I voted, I’d vote ‘straight ticket’, if that’s a thing where I am.

This bullshit cannot be rewarded.
It’s truly evil what Ds have done here. Stage-managing a Stalinist show trial run along junior-highschool girls’ gossip mentality. A sick, cynical, craven perversion of justice only too happy to grind people to a pulp for factional power.

I am against whatever the fuck that is.
‘But what about the victims’

Victims of what, crimes? What did the police say

‘Well it’s hard to..’

They could tell a Senator and lawyers but not the police?

‘We have to get to the bottom of..’

Of what? Show me the fucking police report

WHERE IS THE GOD DAMN POLICE REPORT
What the fuck are we even talking about

THIS ISNT HOW WE PROSECUTE CRIMES

If someone thinks there was a crime, what crime was it, where is the evidence, what does the prosecutor say?

You can’t just short-circuit all that, assholes
In a real trial there’s stuff like evidence, and discovery, and cross-examination

In our Brave New World it’s snippy bluechecks on Twitter oohing & ahhhing at how emotional the accuser is and then sniffing ‘not a good look’ when the accused gets mad

Judging via reality-TV rules
If that’s what Ds are, and it appears to be, then deal me in Team R. And I mean HARD R. I don’t even care about anything else. Raise the oceans! Deficit ‘hawks’! Whatever, sign me up, I’ll wave that in.

As long as it’s on the other side of this fucking disgrace we’ve seen.
Big stupid defense contracts to cronies. DONE. Symbolic votes to cut spending 0.1% but don’t really, except they cause dumb bureaucratic maneuvers. DONE. ‘Faith-based initiatives’ that don’t accomplish anything. DONE

If they oppose what we’ve just witnessed, I’m Team R all-in.

FROM HERE: Biden should nominate a generic D-style replacement to sit on the Supreme Court, & then Rs should have an absolute hissy-fit, look up that person's high school yearbook, team up with some DoJ employees to gin up a false 35-year-old accusation based on someone's memoir,
have loud protests where they occupy the steps of the Supreme Court building and climb statuary and pound on the front doors, say in large numbers that the person nominated 'looks like' someone they disliked or who bothered them in high school, say that the FBI should 'investigat
e' a drinking party some now-upper middle class types say that they had with the nominee in college, spend hours of research and 9000-word Atlantic pieces decoding some slang they say was used in the aforementioned high school yearbook,

It’s weird how I *believe* these things to be true and yet just carry on with day to day stuff like they do not represent historically-significant crimes requiring justice:

1. The pandemic that has killed millions was caused by research supported & funded by Anthony Fauci
2. The lockdown-based response of Western governments to the pandemic was deliberately planted and promoted by Chinese propaganda and embraced by our selfish/gullible elites either for personal motives or pure mindless elite-copycat behavior
3. Prominent among the motives for embracing and promoting the hysteria response that they did, including things like continually mandating masks, was the temporal proximity of the US election and desire to defeat Donald Trump

It’s pretty funny that the entirety of US society - regulators, academia, pundits, businesses, vendors - are barreling ahead with embedding ‘upping your mask game’ into our society & economy, and meanwhile, the UK is just like ‘nah, that’s enough, no more masks’
Somewhere, scattered across this great nation, in institutes of higher learning, are about 13,000 social science, econ, biomedicine grad students planning to do their thesis or next paper on ‘masks’

UK: nah, we’re done
In various little podunk towns and counties are countless ‘Health Officers’ who are doing the ‘work’ they do of reading CDC ‘guidance’ PDFs and then opening a fresh word doc to craft the Nth update to their own ‘guidance’, and it’s like 97% centered on ‘masks’

UK: nah

Remember to tell everyone you know to ‘up your mask game’. Because that’s a phrase you totally thought of completely by yourself and not something you’re repeating because you saw it on the TV or perhaps a social media posted clip of something on the TV
guys, it's time to step your mask game up

DON’T LOOK UP (2021) was ok. But not as a ‘climate change allegory’. As a quirky character study of the DiCaprio and especially the Jennifer Lawrence character. They were just funny to watch in all those situations.
The movie itself, despite being ‘timely’ and I have no doubt meant as some blunt allegory about ‘climate change’ in our ‘social media’ ‘politicized’ ‘divided’ ‘post truth’ era, comes across as weirdly dated. Felt like something from the late 90s. And just cuz of DEEP IMPACT.

The 2020 debates between Covid-Taliban and ‘floomers’ who argued for less restrictions on grounds that its severity was kinda sorta ‘just the flu’ looks pretty absurd in retrospect now during our current regime of (partial/localized) Covid-Taliban’ing against ‘omicron’, a cold
Maybe it was wrong to minimize Wuhan Classic, and liken it to ‘just the flu’. Maybe the tradeoff/balance weighed in favor of restrictions.

But now we have Wuhan-South Africa, which is uniformly *much less severe*. And still the Covid Taliban *wants to do all the same things*.
Imagine Wuhan Classic hadn’t existed and it had been Wuhan-South Africa that emerged in 2020. You know, a cold that spreads fast and everyone gets, then they’re done.

Would ‘closing schools’, ‘vaccine passports’ in response to it have even been on the table?
