The Left Is In Calculated Hysteria

"Don't worry hon. Unlike Trump hating Democrats and some RINOs- most Americans of good will don't want to see our justice system perverted, to lock away political opponents" - Bo Snerdley responding to Rachel Maddow.

Funny, it was they who spoke about putting MAGA supporters into "re-educational camps".

They are scared that Donald Trump will win. They are in calculated hysteria.

Collin Rugg:

NEW: FBI agents who raided President Trump’s home in 2022 were instructed to prepare to use "deadly force" while executing the search warrant.

Meanwhile, the left is whining that *Trump* is going to try to get his political enemies killed if he wins.

The Mar-a-Lago raid was personally signed off by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

According to newly unsealed court documents, agents were allowed to "use deadly force only when necessary."

The FBI brought a medic and paramedic with them on the raid and listed a nearby trauma center in case of an emergency.

The documents in question were revealed through discovery in the criminal case and were placed on the docket on May 21.

Insane.

Liberal/Leftists are going hysterical stating that they will be jailed if Donald Trump wins or will "end democracy" (this is a representative republic, not a democracy). 

Gee, weren't they the ones who weaponized the Dept. of Justice? They are projecting on Trump what they have been doing. Gaslighting at its worst.

Calculated and planned hysteria.

Interesting Day

It's been an interesting day.

I went to Walmart to pick up my prescriptions and found the loons hoarding paper towels and the bath tissue (i.e., toilet paper or ass wipe) aisle empty. Thank goodness I have enough to probably last me a month.

Then, get home and find that one of my prescriptions was goofed up by the doctor's office. Instead of 180 pills, I got only 18 (nine days worth). So I have to deal with that on Monday.

Tonight may see more rain showers and, possibly, snow showers.

The forecast from the National Weather Service:

Tonight

A slight chance of rain showers before midnight, then a slight chance of snow showers between midnight and 3am. Some thunder is also possible. Patchy fog after midnight. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 30. Southwest wind 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Saturday

Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 53. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph.

Saturday Night

Mostly clear, with a low around 28. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable after midnight.

Empty Shelves At Walmart

"This is nuts!" - Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

Today, I saw first hand the panic (and outright stupidity) of what the media-driven hysteria over the coronavirus has caused people. 

I had to go to Walmart in Gallup to pick up my prescriptions and the store was packed with people. Most of them had stacks of packages of paper towels in their shopping carts.

While in line to get my prescriptions, I noticed a lot of empty shelves where cold and flu medicines are kept. I took a picture of them.

After getting my prescriptions, I decided to wander over to where the paper towels and bathroom tissue (the polite term for toilet paper or ass wipe) are kept to take a look. The shelves were completely devoid of any.

These are the kinds of scenes that are commonplace in socialist countries. (Any of you jackasses still want to live under socialism?)  It's a wonder governors haven't ordered an odd/even system (corresponding to birthdays) for defecating to conserve toilet paper.

The sad part about it is that this whole mess is ridiculous and totally unnecessary. Welcome to Venezuela!

It is a good thing that I bought toilet paper last week and have packages of RV toilet paper in The Beast. So, I'm good.

One the bright side, I saw that unleaded regular gasoline at the Flying J is priced at $2.099 a gallon.

Coronavirus: Deaths Confined To Elderly With Prior Medical Problems

The phoney media-driven coronavirus pandemic hysteria misses the point that the U.S. deaths due to the virus have been the elderly with pre-existing medical problems.

Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson broke down the deaths in the U.S. in a series of Tweets:

CNN's "Constitutional Crisis" Hysteria Over Comey's Firing

After President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, some of my liberal friends on Facebook and elsewhere began beating their chests and screamed "Coup!", "Saturday Night Massacre!" and "Constitutional Crisis!"

At first, I thought they were just being hysterical as usual, but now I know where the source of their hysteria came from: CNN, now known as the Counterfeit News Network.

I learned this thanks to an article in PoliZette:

Condemnation of President Donald Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey was swift and severe on CNN on Tuesday, with one political analyst even likening it to the illegitimate overthrow of a government. 

Gloria Borger noted that the firing came after Trump consulted with Attorney General Jeff Session and Deputy Director Rod Rosenstein and alluded to Comey’s confirmation of a FBI investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russians agents in meddling in the 2016 election. 

“I think the question you also have to ask [is] was this a coup or a firing?” she asked. “Or both? Because it seems to me that there was a lot of consultation here.” 

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin blasted Trump, comparing the move to the so-called “Saturday Night Massacre” when then-President Richard Nixon fired Watergate-era special prosecutor Archibald Cox.*

I find it incredible that CNN pays these people big bucks to be political and legal commentators when it is obvious that they don't know anything about presidential power in hiring and firing people. Someone with rudimentary knowledge of political science should know that a president has the power to fire a FBI director or CIA director. There's no "coup", "Saturday Night Massacre" or "constitutional crisis" involved here. Anyone claiming such are either stupid or just dishonest. It is no surprise that the bastion of fake news, CNN, is promoting this fakery!

President Trump simply, with his powers as president, fired an incompetent boob who injected politics in his decisions instead of just following the law.

CNN screwed it up again, folks!

My only question on the Comey firing: What took Trump so damn long?

*The New York Times, another liberal center of fake news, is also harping on the Saturday Night Massacre angle.
