There is no bottom:

At some point everyone has to come to grips with the fact that this is what they want.

This is a pretty amazing reach:

I think that statute is the law that compels National Guard members to serve when their units have been called up (Federalized), but Barr says it also is an end run around actually Federalizing the guard unit itself; that under this statute the President can at any time give orders to and compel to service any National Guard members whether they have been Federalized or not, to do anything he wants them to do.

Why are there so many f’ing George Bushes??

5183

I know. We just need to go by middle initials now. Trump doesn’t like W, but apparently he really likes P.

5184

Maybe he calls him sir?

5185

I remember the guy showered him with praise last time he had a rally in Texas.

5186

I don’t know why, all I know is Trump is happy to see P, but with W you’re in trouble.

I’m certain Moscow Mitch enjoyed that convo.

Greene is an outspoken supporter of QAnon, a conspiracy theory based on a series of anonymous messages posted online by a mystery figure named “Q.” QAnon believers think that Donald Trump is engaged in a shadowy war against a cabal of global elites, including the Democratic Party, and will soon arrest or even execute top Democrats in an event they know as “The Storm.

Despite such ludicrous claims, Greene has praised QAnon. In a video posted online, she called the anonymous “Q” a “patriot” and said that their predictions had been accurate.

“Many of the things that he has given clues about and talked on 4Chan and other forums have really proven to be true,” Greene said.

Greene’s QAnon beliefs haven’t stopped her from winning the backing of at least one high-powered Republican. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) endorsed her bid, calling her “exactly the kind of fighter needed in Washington to stand with me against the radical left.” Greene has also been boosted by $44,000 in spending and $78,000 in earmarked contributions from the House Freedom Fund, a PAC tied to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to campaign finance watchdog group Open Secrets.

Because of her performance in the first round of the primary, Greene is heavily favored to win the nomination. Should she get over 50 percent of the vote in the primary’s runoff, she would have an excellent shot of winning the general election for her House seat, which is now held by retiring Rep. Tom Graves ®. Her district in northwest Georgia is rated “R+27” by the Cook Political Report, meaning that the Democratic candidate faces a Herculean task for taking the seat.

Nothing improves the Dems’ chance of winning a seat more than having the Reps nominate the most Reppy Rep they can find. Apparently there was no child molester available, so the Reps will go with Marjorie.

5194

This is great.

5195

Kind of a weird way to describe the absurdity of QAnon. Saying that Trump will soon arrest top Democrats doesn’t sound particularly ludicrous on its own. Indeed, he repeatedly publicly tells the Justice department to do just that.

5196

This looks like a good place for this sensible chuckle.

Related, kinda sorta. Well, only related in that I chuckled:

We talked about it, here is a transcript…

President Bush was in the Oval Office wondering which country to invade next, when his telephone rang.

“Hallo, President Bush” a heavily accented voice said. “This is Archie, up ere at the Harp Seal Pub in Badger’s Cove, Newfoundland, Canada eh? I am callin’ to tells ya dat we are officially declaring war on ya!”

“Well Archie,” George replied, “This is indeed important news! How big is your army?”

“Right now,” said Archie, after a moments calculation “there is myself, me cousin Harold, me next-door-neighbor Mick, and the whole dart team from the pub. That makes eight!”

George paused. “I must tell you Archie that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command.”

“Holy jeez,” said Archie. “I’ll have ta call ya back!” Sure enough, the next day, Archie called again. “Mr. Bush, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be Archie?” George asked.

“Well sir, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Harry’s farm tractor.”

President Bush sighed. “I must tell you Archie, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000 armored personnel carriers. Also I’ve increased my army to one and a half million since we last spoke.”

Lard T’underin’ bye", said Archie, I’ll be getting back to ya."

Sure enough, Archie rang again the next day. “President Bush, the war is still on! We have managed to git ourselves airborne! We up an’ modified Harrigan’s ultra-light wit a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four byes from the Legion have joined us as well!”

George was silent for a minute then cleared his throat. “I must tell you Archie that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I’ve increased my army to TWO MILLION!”

“Jumpins,” said Archie,” I’ll have ta call youse back."

Sure enough, Archie called again the next day. “President Bush! I am sorry to have to tell you dat we have had to call off dis 'ere war.”

“I’m sorry to hear that” said George. “Why the sudden change of heart?”

Well, sir," said Archie, “we’ve all sat ourselves down and had a long chat over a bunch of pints, and come to realize dat dere’s no way we can feed two million prisoners.”

I assume that it’s all joking and in fun, which is perfectly fine. But as completely awesome as Obelisk of Wokeness sounds, nobody better mess with the Washington Monument, or Lincoln or Jefferson either. Sure those guys weren’t perfect, especially when judged by today’s standards, but we literally would not be a country without each of them. I am all for tearing down the shitty hollow monuments put up by thinly-veiled racist organizations to taunt African-Americans all over the south, and I fully support renaming military bases after people who were not traitorous racists, and I fully support banning a flag that was always used more as a symbol of hate and fear than of any sort of pride, but there is a line we should not cross with all this historical correction, and fucking with monuments to the founders of this country is way over that line.
