Happy Treason Weasel Day!!

Once Republican officials begin dying, the chances of unity will greatly improve.

Precisely.

Have any of these Congresscritters or pundits who are chastising Democrats come right out and told their constituents/audiences the truth about the election? Or are they trying to fire up "the base" even more in advance of the inauguration?

Folks, all is not lost. Both sides indeed CAN find common ground with each other:

The meme is comparable to Mel Brooks writing Springtime for Hitler in 1946. Tragedy plus time equals comedy. Not enought time, Shades. And quite frankly, not enough comedy either.

[Dr. Shades]

Shades sends us a doctored version of the picture, intended so far as one can judge to get us thinking. "Hey, that mob really did break into the Capitol and kill a police officer (etc. etc.). But what about Biden being said to bit a bit too touchy-feely, hey? Bet you don't want to talk about that, libtards?"

Or is there some other reason for him posting this picture?

Yes. The other, real reason is because it made me laugh out loud when I saw it, and I thought (incorrectly, apparently) that a few of you would find it funny, too.

So, it's not at all about either current events or about politics. It's about having a laugh, nothing more. Lighten the Hell up, for God's sake!!

That is definitely what the meme image is meant to covey. The question is, is Shades in agreement with that intended message of this meme, or is he so unperceptive as to miss it's intended message. In any case he is likely to deny that that is the intended message of the meme.

The only "message" is to get you to chuckle, nothing more. How could it be otherwise? Like I said, lighten the Hell up!

I respectfully disagree on both counts.

I know, right? It was just a joke about an insurrection to our country that just happened last week, for “F”'s sake! Our capitol was only attacked in a war-like way. So what if it turns out a good portion of our country are would-be domestic terrorists? So what if the inciter in chief persists in inciting his mob? Let's just have a laugh about it already.

I mean, get over it already people!

(Is that the gist, Shades?)

Good thread on Trump and the Big Lie. https://threader.app/thread/1349046338927919105 Snyder wrote an excellent piece in the New York Times over the weekend called The American Abyss. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... trFJ0wrJMv_
