Our Betters Issue Threats
Behold the latest milestone in fearless resistance:
Tiktoker says she will ruin your car if you support Trump and eat at a Mexican restaurant pic.twitter.com/DTqrVcAQdj

Because vandalising the cars of random strangers is progressive piety now, the very measure of heroism. Oh, and note the implied conflation of Mexican restaurant and US citizens of Mexican ancestry and illegal, criminal migrant.
I believe there’s a word for that kind of thing.
Readers are welcome to speculate as to what Madam might do upon discovering that the car she’s just vandalised – with such self-satisfaction – belongs to someone of Mexican ancestry.
Update, via the comments, which you’re reading, of course:
What’s funny about these things, given a certain sense of humour, is the unearned moral certainty, the rush to smugness.
The posturing above, the promise of gratuitously antisocial behaviour, does fit what has become a default template, a pattern seen countless times. Some obnoxious, childish liberal woman records herself saying something childish and obnoxious – in this case, about the joys of vandalising strangers’ cars, with a bit of bigotry thrown in – and she then awaits likes and applause. As if her boast of incoherent malice were a basis for congratulation.
And when the inevitable, much deserved pushback occurs, including statements of basic logic from those she would have happily wronged, she then locks down her social media and feigns victimhood. As if she were enduring some outrageous persecution. As if a smug racist who threatens vandalism on random strangers, people she deems inferior, were an obvious candidate for sympathy. As ways to pass the time go, it’s an odd mental drama.
And just a tad self-flattering.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
Wonder how many TikTok waterworks this is going to launch.
You’d think that excluding from military roles a demographic defined by mental illness and prone to Cluster B personality disorders, and self-harm, might be self-evidently wise.
Not that it stopped our police force from being inclusive – with predictable results.
Courses or dances to teach migrants that rape is wrong? hahahah they know it is wrong. Are they going to hand out cute little business cards too?
Trading citizenship for spicy food: interestingly, hispanics, especially on the border, are strongly in favor of deporting illegals. I think I saw 74% in favor in Texas. They know it is ruining their towns and taking their jobs. Trump even took some hispanic majority counties on the border. The Left can’t let go of identity politics, even when it cost them an election.
I have just come across a management plan draft for some US National Forests. The remarkable thing is how they have gone bonkers to kow-tow to Native American “rights”. In a region where maybe 5% (maybe 1%) of the population is native american, they not only held multiple meetings with tribes but put tribal reps on the planning committee. They are determined to incorporate “indigenous knowledge” into the plans for how to manage conservation and fire. A mismanaged fire can kill people and cost billions. In what sense has indig knowl ever been tested that it is safe and effective? Conservation of species is also complicated and we have no assurance that the indig knowl works. They also appear to be trying to guarantee jobs for native amer. Political correctness at work.
This seems in line with Mr. Daughtry’s narration.
Well on the plus side, any such people who really, really want the experience might try applying in Russia or Ukraine.
The same ‘indigenous knowledge’ that gave us thriving populations of B. latifrons and B. antiquus?
The only ‘experience’ such people want is that of the taxpayer funding the culmination of delusions.
Purple hair and multiple face piercings … mental illness proudly displayed.
Because casinos aren’t enough. 😉
This is The Blurting at work. If he had said, “Cap shouldn’t represent only America, but the world,” he would have gotten away with it. But he Blurted instead.
America at its best (and yes we fall short often) represents freedom of speech, equality regardless of race, creed, color, and gender, freedom to assemble to redress grievances, and so on. And anyone, from anywhere, who enter the country legally and agree with these principles, are welcome, and deserve to be called Americans.
I can see why that is hateful.
Peer-reviewed TDS.
I worked 22 years in county government and that attitude is there as well. This is why public employee unions should be banned. I used to joke that it took being convicted of murder before one could be fired from gov work … but the other side is also being a supervisor who cannot fire people for mere incompetence at their job. You have to build a multi-page dossier of ‘not meeting standards’ to even get HR to take you seriously — and that has to include 6 months of ‘remedial probation’ where milestones are set (in accordance with HR & union rep) and extra monitoring of the employee put on this plan. ONLY if they fail that can one move into ‘termination’ phase.
It’s like some people feel their job is theirs by “right” and not by actually doing the requirements to standard.
Have I said lately how glad I am to be retired (since Jan 2020)?
The world would be a better place if government bureaucrats were on the endangered species list.
A bureaucrats version of this would be fun: attorney hunting season and bag limits
Strongly agree.
For those who missed the reference.
Let’s say that again for those in the cheap seats:
PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS SHOULD BE BANNED.
The presence of which undoubtedly drives out the competent and keeps other competent ones from joining up.
Why participate in such an obvious clown show?
Sovereign citizen attempts to do “citizen audit” on police officer.
“Homeless” animal tells us that he needs to be put down.
I could go on and on.
It was 610 years ago. And you won. Why cave in now?
Well, they’ve caved in to everyone else it seems so why not cave in to the French?
Just a note about toxic masculinity (off topic, I know): many men I know take pride in supporting elderly parents, sending kids to college, contributing to causes. this fact that men carry many others on their shoulders is something almost never remarked upon and I just wanted to bring it up.
A classic moment of levity.
Shirley you don’t mean Columbia, SC.
That’s what the city fathers claim…
