Pretty much all of that.
As we’ve seen more times than I can count, these are people who will lie as readily as breathing – baldly, shamelessly, even on camera when proof of their dishonesty is hard to miss – in order to excuse their sociopathic urges. They aren’t being obnoxious reluctantly, in desperation, or under duress. They harass and provoke and abuse and destroy because it gives them pleasure. It makes them feel important and powerful. Power being conceived solely as power over others. It’s a focus for their spite. Anything else is a fig leaf. Some will all but admit this. You can’t, and shouldn’t, engage with such creatures on their own ostensible terms.
Because that’s not what it’s ultimately about.

Heh.
Antifa are just like normal people.
Indeed, and The Babylon Bee is supposed to be parody.

I don’t get it. Is the joke/parody that some parents would actually object?
The upside to online school is parents are getting an eyeful of what goes on in the classroom.

“They aren’t being obnoxious reluctantly, in desperation, or under duress. They harass and provoke and abuse and destroy because it gives them pleasure. It makes them feel important and powerful.”
Yep.
I saw that with my own eyes when out campaigning for the “No” side in the 2014 referendum. I ended up being surrounded by a gang of “Yes” people. We had an argument of sorts – one or two were engaging and reasonable – but the joy that spread across their faces when, once it was clear they were losing the argument, they descended into simply chanting in unison, preventing me from speaking at all, was unmistakable.
Yep.
I think we’ll give that one a little post of its own.
Because I can, that’s why.
Mario Cuomo converts to Southern Baptist…

Mario Cuomo converts to Southern Baptist…no cornhole…
Except for the cornholing that Cuomo will continue to give everyone in New York.
Mario Cuomo converts to Southern Baptist.
He bans alcohol, the shit get real. 😉
Of course it’s Andrew Cuomo, the sort of fourth-generation imbecile Oliver Wendell Holmes warned us about.
Seriously, he claimed the reason New York’s coronavirus numbers looked so bad is because the feds said the virus was coming from China, not Europe.
Truly, the ‘Napoleon of Crime’:

Didn’t quite work out as he Expected.
Yes, that is a gun.
Didn’t quite work out as he Expected.
As the camera appears to be hand-held and it follows the action, I have a sneaking suspicion there’s a back story here. That perhaps these guys have a history…a “business relationship” perhaps. If this gies viral, and depending on the backstory, cue the leftists to say the apparent intended victim here is the actual perp and is no different than ‘Keese’ Love…in 3..2..1…
