The Glorious Revolution? (American Revelation IX, Nine.)

They're pickin' up the prisoners

And puttin 'em in a pen
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
Rebels been rebels
Since I don't know when
And all she wants to do is dance

Molotov cocktail, the local drink
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
They mix 'em up right
In the kitchen sink
And all she wants to do is dance.

~Don Henley, All She Wants To Do Is Dance.

Saw this last night. Just a small selection of the stuff the FBI retrieved from Mar-A-Lago.

Shit. 

And that's my take as a former United States Air Force Security Forces Sergeant.

If I'd done 10% of what Trump did, I'd still be in prison. This is probably the biggest security breach in US history.

And people keep making excuses for this shit??

"Who gives a rat's ass about National Security, I've got ideological points to score" is a hell of a take on anything, there, media pundits. 

If you MSM fuckers don't know by now that the Republican Party would gladly let the MAGA mob literally eat you, I don't know if you can be saved, either.

And that's before we get to the people who've pretty much declared this treasonous jackass to be their God.

Seriously it seems like 40% of the damn country is either so politically fucked in the head or so committed to false equivalency that, well, we'd be in some real shit if Trump wasn't so goddamned incompetent.

And he has the support of the Russians up to and including Uncle Vlad Dracula his own self? 

Are you shitting me, here???

A real leader with half a brain could turn all this into some kind of successful secessionist movement...if not the Glorious Revolution...and have themselves elected President For Life of El Republique De Texas by acclaim of the mob or something. Then after we have to bug out, get the Russians to put a couple wings of Flankers at Carswell and Dyess, a squadron of Kilo-class Boats at Ingleside, a division of Airborne troops at Fort Sam with a wing of IL-76 Candid transports at Kelly to make sure they can go places and hurt people if needed. Throw in a couple of Motor-Rifle divisions at Fort Hood, just because it's there.

Assume Fort Bliss, El Paso and a decent chunk of the Rio Grande valley are this scenario's Guantanamo.

And with Texas in his pocket, Putin could "safely" back off from his misbegotten adventure in Ukraine. Who needs Ukraine, when you have Texas? I mean, it's a hell of a bet that the Ukrainians don't just...and successfully at that...follow they ass all the way to Moscow at this point, but still...

And while we're stuck sorting out basing, logistics and training issues...not to mention economics and transport...Trump could have settled his ass down to being the Fidel Castro of the 21st Century. If not with Russia as his patron, then China, or Saudi Arabia.

Except Trump is not that fucking guy. 

Fidel Castro started out with 82 fucking guys and a leaky boat and won the goddamned war. Trump was handed every advantage imaginable, 70-some million followers, Russian support, and he still fucked it up every which way.

Fidel, right or wrong, bullshitted and fought and harangued his way into the history books. The place where Fidelito and his guys landed in Cuba with that leaky boat? It's a national park now. Trump? He's going to end up sitting in a cell...and everyplace with his name on it now won't have it anymore. 

Trump is going to go down in history as a damn disgrace, as literally what the fuck not to do.

And yet his mob still roars. That's the damn problem.

The fact that US "Conservatives" are so debased, fat and bored that this looks like anything revolutionary should speak volumes about what the goddamn problem really is.

And the reason they do this shit, is he gets away with going around talking like he's still the goddamn President, spreads all these big lies and crazy stories and feeds the conspiracy shit...while actively trying to provoke a civil war. And the government has only just recently made public its efforts to bring Trump to justice?

On one level, I get DOJ's reasoning, but I'm honestly not sure they realized how bad things were. I think they should have started moving as aggressively on this shit as they are now all the way back in January of last year. At least we'd have known how bad the shit was.

And of course, the Republican Party collectively has the leadership capability God gave a garden slug. Instead of denouncing Trump like the traitor he is, they defend him, while "privately" expressing disgust and hoping somebody "takes care of the son-of-a-bitch" for them. They're scared shitless of Trump's base...but I guess they ain't scared enough to protect themselves? Or are they Okay with Trump undermining the entire damn country, just so they can hold power in one small chunk of it (or the ruins of the whole thing?)

Reagan Fucking Wept.

The Republican Party has become a fascist Idiocracy dominated by the kind of people Republicans didn't used to want to be around...and they're too chickenshit to do anything about it?

These fucking people almost took America down with them!

You know what the worst part of it is? Instead of thinking "Oh shit, what did we do?" or "What the hell are we even doing here?" The modern Republican Party is actively scheming to gain from the chaos of the current situation, convinced that they can turn what increasingly looks like a looming electoral defeat, financial ruin, and ultimate Trumpian disgrace into some sort of insurgent victory carried on the backs of a few thousand armed peasants and a small band of intrepid guerillas.

The problem here ain't just Trump. The media ecosystem that created him and the Party that he ate from the inside out and wore like a goddamn bad suit are both rotten to the fucking core.

Rotten enough, that apparently some of the rich motherfuckers who made it that way think the situation as it is, would cost them too much money, so they're not giving the Republicans anymore.

Fuck you, Yertle, have fun. 

Maybe you fuckers shouldn't have put Medicaid fraudster Rick Scott in charge of the till?

If Trump gets charged with espionage and ends up going to prison...an outcome I see as unavoidable simply because the government has no other choice, and the GOP implodes because 99.98% of Republicans are nothing but a bunch of thieves...

Well, I guess all that leaves these fucking people is to attempt their Glorious Revolution on their own?

Good luck with that.

Eight

Crazy people walkin' round with blood in their eyes
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
Wild-eyed pistols wavers who ain't afraid to die
And all she wants to do is
And all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
She can't feel the heat
Comin' off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance.
