Satire, parody, caricature, spoof, mockery are our best weapons against fascists.
The senile, incontinent accidental former president should be mocked as he loses his fortune and liberty over the next few months. His delusional supporters deserve snickers as they line up to vote for a sociopath who doesn’t care whether they live or die. Silly cosplaying numbnuts like the Proud Boys should be laughed at as they are prosecuted and sent to prison.
In Ray Bradbury’s fantasy novel Something Wicked This Way Comes the evil circus performers are defeated when the boys learn to laugh at them instead of fear them. J. K. Rowling uses the same theme in her explanation of how to master the shape-shifting boggart:
James Carville understands this too:
Goody has a whole diary about Biden trolling his opponents: Dark Brandon Is a Snarky MFer. He is and he understands this is their Achilles heel.
E. Jean Carroll on tfg: “He’s nothing”.
I can’t embed this short clip of her. She was terrified of facing him in court. But then when she was sitting in the witness stand and looked at him she realized there was nothing to be afraid of. He was just a nasty, senile old man. He had no power over her unless she gave it to him. WATCH IT.
For fairness I will let tfg weigh in on the verdict also.
From the rec list: A new meme, Snorting Walrus Trump
"He's nothing. He is like a walrus snorting." says E .Jean Carroll
Minions
tfg has had some tough, competent lawyers. They have mostly left. In addition he has always had a gaggle of incompetent minions who eventually end up disbarred and/or facing prison. Alina Habba is in the second category.
Carroll's Lawyer Responds to Habba's Frivolous Ploy, May Seek Sanctions
Kaplan stated that the firm she worked at, Paul, Weiss et al, was a large firm founded in 1950s with offices throughout the US and in other countries. She said she was a junior associate at the firm beginning in October 1992 and that Lewis Kaplan, who was one of the senior partners, was appointed to the federal bench and left the firm in August 1994. Kaplan said that she remembers the partners that she worked with at the firm during that brief time period and none of them were Lewis Kaplan...
Kaplan went on in her letter to suggest that the NY Post story was actually planted by Habba, who then used the story in her letter to the judge. She based that on the fact that Habba had alluded to the same allegations in a statement to the press before the Post story was even published. She concluded the letter by stating that she reserves the right to seek sanctions against Habba for her frivolous filing.
Habba said she would rather be pretty than smart because she can fake being smart. She can’t.
A MVP and someone who will never be one
During the 2020 primary I hoped Kamala would be the nominee. She makes a damn good VP though.
Kari Lake Booed & Heckled at AZ State GOP Election. This idiot has supposedly been auditioning to be tfg’s vp nominee. She is as ridiculous as he is and doesn’t have the excuse of decrepitude.
Kicker
Buster and Scamp wanted me to add this:
Teenagers with ADHD on cocaine at Disneyland- We think that’s a fair comparison.
That mug provides a final lesson about mockery- it doesn’t work on people who can laugh at themselves. Biden took what was supposed to be an insult and ran with it.
Scamp and Buster remind me it also doesn’t work on dogs.
