A politicianis found to be a pedophile,raping childrenas young as fourteen years,and he is not condemned.In fact, he continueshis campaign for public officeand might well win,despiteor because ofthese allegations.A companythat sells coffeemakerspulls its advertisingfrom a program in whichthe interviewer is sympatheticto the pedophile politician.Supportersthrow their coffeemakersto the ground in protest.Their coffeemakers!In support of a pedophile!These are convoluted times.It occurs to memaybe we should follow suitand take up machinesin resistance.Coffeemakers and blenders,electric drills, blow dryers,backhoes, wood chippersall pressed into service.Chainsaws!We’ll need a lot of chainsaws.

Good Lord, it gets curiouser and curiouser, people seem to be under a weird spell. I had not heard of the coffeemaker protest. Sigh. We are in such deep doodoo.
ReplyDeleteThese are indeed convoluted times.. sigh.. powerfully written.

I don't understand the kind of blind, rabid partisanship that produces this kind of moral sickness. And those same folks--including Moore himself--are forever fond of lecturing everybody else about their supposed Christian values. It all makes me puke. I read on FB that victims of the Las Vegas shooting were being harassed by RWNJ's who believed the whole thing was staged somehow. Wtf?
ReplyDeleteThose "false flag" adherents about Las Vegas, Pulse nightclub, Sandy Hook and the rest... I can't even. Argh
DeleteTell it! Boycott coffee makers to support a pedophile. We couldn't make this stuff up.
ReplyDeleteYeah, chainsaws and wood chippers would be quite handy
ReplyDeleteIt just gets better and better, every day in every way.
ReplyDeletetopical and exactly correct
ReplyDeletein the old days all we had were torches and pitchforks

And Russia dances with every hashtag idiocy the faithful buy. It is disgusting they will hang with party even if it is a pedophile running the show.
ReplyDeleteAnd hammers. They might need a lot of handling, but I'm bringing the hammer. Now, where did I leave that chainsaw?
ReplyDeleteDon’t know the back story..but kitchen machines in protest is quite an idea!!
ReplyDeleteI have a defunct vacuum cleaner I can contribute to the cause.
ReplyDeleteJust another day in the Fall of the Eagle, shot from the sky by a wealthy big game hunter who's gonna make a killing on that tax cut. Such are the times.
