A good reminder to all who are tempted by authoritarianism. Thanks for the link!

Payback's always a b*tch, ain't it?

Of all the comments Joe Conservative could have made they said what they said??? Yeah, they got me. Oooh man oh man I wanted to squash them like a bug because what consequences..... yeah, they got me but then I breathed the breath of calm and rational thought and came up with this...

All of our trolls live confidently in their Conservative in-group whom the law protects but does not bind which means to them we others exist where the law binds but does not protect - to butcher Francis M Wilhoit's famous quote.

I can only surmise the paybacks imagined by Joe C. are because somewhere in their recent past they were bound by the law during a Democratic president administration, not protected as expected. And by "they" I include their Lard and Savory, one Donald Jessica Trump.

Welcome to No Kings wherein everyone is bound by law, at least in theory. Still working out the kinks but I'm sure once the kids start their percussive maintenance techniques things will be up and running in no time.

And yeah, Joe C. paybacks usually arrive with an attachment of the laws o' return (x7). Calling payback a bitch though... that usually costs extra but your milage may vary.

The point dimwit is the day WILL come when the pay back is directed at and affecting you. Can't come soon enough!

Ole jc loves his odious conservative bubble.

Dave Dubya said...

Payback for what, sport, for being indicted for CRIMES with an abundance of supporting EVIDENCE?
Payback for Biden NEVER ordering his DOJ to arrest people he hates?
If not for the corrupt partisan justices Trump would be in prison where he belongs.
Americans made the same mistake Germans made when they put an insurrectionist CRIMINAL in power.

Say, ex-midshipman Joe who swore an oath not to lie, are they STILL "eating the dogs in Springfield"? We need your expertise on this matter. HEIL, MAGA!

Joe Conservative said...

Frank Wilhoit the composer's quote? He was quite the Composer-Statesman, huh?

Joe Conservative said...

I would have gone with Brecht...

"What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a bank?"

...but then, I'm only a fool, and not a knave.

A bubble over 2,500 years in the making...

Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

And then there's this:

The book best representing MAGA is The Lord of the Flies and the aggressive violent tribe that banded together against the saner normal kids.

Joe Conservative said...

So what fate befalls those who ignore history, Les?

They immanentize their eschaton... and therefore more rapidly experience close encounters with their own mortality.

Dave Dubya said...

Why does Joe the neo-Nazi Jew ally himself with Christian Nationalists who want to immanentize their eschaton?

No answer expected...from Joe.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Our resident sesquipedalian chimes in with a tired old William F. Buckley trope.

Joe Conservative said...

They don't, Dave. They're not "progressives" (immanentizers). They're Katachonizers. You've heard of a Catholic Catechism, haven't you? They're delaying the eschaton. (progressive "Paradise/ Utopia" aka Hell on Earth)

Joe Conservative said...

from Google AI:

"Delaying the eschaton" refers to the theological concept of deferring the "last things" or the end times, which can be understood in different ways: first, as a divine act of mercy, allowing more time for salvation, second, as a human act of "immanentizing the eschaton" by trying to create a utopian world in the present, which can lead to violence and failed political projects. A related term, the "katechon," refers to the force or entity that restrains or delays the final events from occurring until the appointed time.
