You would not need a baseball bat. If we confronted most of these repubs who act so powerfully, they would shrink like violence. Their chutzpah is merely a bloated narcissism propped up by their patriarchal supremacy. My bet would be on you with one hand tied behind your back. (How is that for a pacifist emerging to ready for a necessary fight?).
Did I mean shrink like violets or violence? Hmmmm.... I guess spellcheck will decide. I am going for violets before violence. Remember the gun with a flower coming out of it? Old 1960's meme before memes?
I'd like to see a large percentage of health care professionals and early responders across the country protest the conditions created by politicians like DeSantis and Abbott by doing a rolling walk-out for an hour -- say noon -- first at eastern time, then central, then mountain, then Pacific, then Hawaii.
TC, I want to see that, too - you and DeSantis in a room. No baseball bat is needed. You'll bring that devil down and when you're done and leave the room, DeSantis is in No Exit, all alone.
You know, there may be power in adding to our daily routine All of Us Thinking Positively and visualizing the demise of the fascists. The power of the mind is a vast, uncharted territory, but throughout civilizations, inventions have occurred around the planet at similar times with no contact. Who is up for facing the setting sun in the West, humming a little munchkin song about fascists melting like the Wicked Witch of the West. Heigh Ho! And up in the morning communing, writing, talking, protesting, voting and saving our country. Use everything within our reach and power. I just remembered, when I was a kid, my mom had a saying from a wise man on the wall, "Thought is the most powerful communication tool you have."
YouтАЩre the only sane person on this blog . I never knew how uncouth Democrats were. I was expecting interesting debate - but just a lot of people telling me to fuck off or threatening to kill people with baseball bats. It comes down to Biden good/ Republican bad - with literally no exceptions. No other interpretation can be brooked. If someone bad has happened in Afghanistan it was not BidenтАЩs fault in any possible way and anyway it can all be smoothed over by quoting some smaltz from Maya Angelou and then everyone feels better.
Oh, thank many of you for making me laugh today, I really need this to buffer less funny feelings. I am not totally sure that TCinLa is kidding, but I love the release of tension with what I hope is humor that most of us would not normally say out loud!
I just want five minutes with DeSantis alone in a locked room. Just me and my baseball bat.
TC, I am not a violen person, but you made me smile for an instant!
Ditto
IтАЩll watch the door!
Ha! The hall monitor! Hahahaha
Bahaha! The look out. Or guard that doesnтАЩt play by The ManтАЩs rules! ЁЯШВ
Me, too!!
HeтАЩs a murderer. Apparently of hundreds. No different than ISIS.
He is a bio terrorist, a sado populist, and a demagogue.
Not to mention a first-class asshole.
;-) !!
IтАЩve got my Louisville slugger right here TC. IтАЩll meet you at the airport.
Thank you, Christine and everyone here for a little humor to relieve a heart that I never think can get any heavier, and then the world turns.
How about putting him in a locked room with COVID patients and leaving them there with him after they dieтАж. For about 10 days.
I want ten minutes with DeathSantis alone with a baseball bat... and no Vaseline.
I actually Laughed Out Loud at that.

If I had тАЬmind controlтАЭ IтАЩd give DeSantis a big heart attack (cruel thoughts, I know)

Penelope, this has been a part of my morning practice for the past 35 years.
You rock, Stephen! I try but have fallen off the wagon a lot in the past... century (since 2016).
Penelope - this is wonderful, thanks!! N
Hear, hear
You and your baseball bat. So Progressive ;)
Shut the f*ck up. Progressive IтАЩll claim. Traitor is all yours.
Listen to yourself. All of you.
Go back to UpsidedownWorld, er, I mean FleeceBlock, where you belong.

Come to think of it, quite regressive. IтАЩll resort to a club (my Louisville slugger) rather than a gun.

I don't actually own a baseball bat. But there's a sporting goods store over in the local supermarket shopping center. :-)
