Thanksgiving weekend. 37 degrees. Families out for cider and donuts driving by with Christmas trees on the roof.
And these Q-balls are out yelling crazy nonsense.
There is no rehabbing this level of ignorant nutbaggery.
Dude, your kids are in their 40s.
Actually, it ends when you sit the fuck down.
This is perhaps my favorite juxtaposition of this whole Moron Jubilee.
We won’t put up with government regulations!!!
Other than mandatory drivers licenses, registrations, inspections, speed limits, traffic laws, parking rules, and seatbelt requirements.
This is another favorite:
“Rights come from god not the government.”
Give that defense a try in court, Janice. Let us know how it goes.
“We prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
Cool. Give your “dangerous freedom” approach a try by driving 100 mph in a 55 zone.
Report back.
I’m going to close with this:
Yesterday, a man with obvious significant mental health challenges walked up to me and started talking rapidly about all kinds of irrational things.
I was concerned *for him*.
These people though… they’re dangerous. Lucid lunatics.
People with mental illnesses are less likely than the general population to be violent. These Q people are not mentally ill.
They are brainwashed as a result of a predicate ignorance. They are dumb, gullible, committed and convinced.
They are our most grave domestic threat.
Seriously, there is a parallel between these Q lunatics and Trump himself.
We took the threat of a President Trump too lightly.
We are taking the threat of a Q-believer pipeline too lightly.
These people are irreparably weaponized into lunacy. There is no means to fix it.
It is just a matter of time until the type of unhinged shitbag who’d spend his Thanksgiving weekend yelling at passing cars instead blows up a building.
I hope the FBI is surveilling the fuck out of these assholes.
They are dangerous.

…which contributed to 20 players bolting for other teams or the NFL
And then, having shot itself in only one foot, FSU picked an expensive, losing legal battle with its own league… while alienating their best remaining quarterback - which made him decide he’s done there.
2/
Now, FSU has managed to put itself in a position where, after making a national spectacle of itself, it has to go up against an actual powerhouse Georgia team with what’s left of its own disintegrating team.
FSU threw such an epic tantrum, it ensured high ratings…

On the morning of 9/11, a casual friend of mine was on a high floor of the World Trade Center above where the first plane struck. He called another friend of ours to tell him he was trapped and it didn’t look good. He didn’t make it out.
There is a 9/11 memorial near me…
1/
It has the names of everyone who perished on 9/11 etched in marble.
The memorials sits high on a ridge with sweeping views toward New York City twelve miles east.
It’s a beautiful spot. I used to park there at sunrise with my son when he was a baby.
2/
Every time I visit the place, I walk the wall and find Tommy’s name.
We were only lightly acquainted. Our circles overlapped but our worlds only overlapped one weekend a year up in Saratoga.
Still, I look for his name as a duty of remembrance.

So, I’m in a notorious mob hangout today. An Italian-sounding place. Panera. And there are two older guys about 5 feet away. Straight in front of me.
It isn’t entirely unheard of in my area to cross paths with some goodfellas. I live in Sopranos Country. It ain’t fiction.
1/
So, I’m trying to write but my table is facing theirs and I can’t help but overhear (mostly because I was eavesdropping, but still) and these two guys are talking about “The Chin” which I cleverly deduced was Vinnie “The Chin” Gigante from having watched quite a bit of cable.
2/
And then they roll on to talking about somebody who was low-level loansharking and another guy who something something I don’t know.
And then the one guy says “That’s all Gambino now…”
And I’m pretty much feeling like I’m wearing a wire at this point.

I entirely understand people’s beef with “Do Something” Twitter.
However, there is a difference between screaming “DO SOMETHING” and agitating for our federal government to do *some specific thing*.
When we need something specific to be done and it isn’t being done, telling the people pushing for it to shut up isn’t being anti-‘Do Something Twitter’.
It’s being pro Do Nothing Government. It is literally working against our own interests.
