Are there religious-themed lizard-people enthusiasts? Silly question. Of course there are religious-themed lizard-people enthusiasts, though I am blissfully unaware of them (a fine state to be).

But I was thinking of my favorite wingnut conspiracy theorist and godfather of QAnon, David Icke, who thinks (or thought? certainly I hope he's dead by now) lizard-people rule the earth. For Icke, it's political, though, more than religious.

There are no limits to human stupidity. (But that's what the reptiles want me to say, and I must follow their orders.)

They see it all, what's happening and where it's headed, and they cheer. It's moot whether they cheer because they want fascism or because their fascist brainwashers have told them to cheer. They want fascism whether they admit it, even whether they know it, or not.

Can't have the kind of free speech you're hoping for, on a public forum, without also welcoming Nazis and child molesters and long rants about Lizard-people.

A large number of Americans far removed from the ruling class want fascism. They want it because they've been propaganda-brainwashed, and their feelings are hurt if you call it fascism, but they mos def want it.

Promise the carrots and celery won't taste like pee, and I'll eat 'em up.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. In a few months or a few years, these will be the good old days.

Fun fact: Pinkerton is tanned, rested, and ready to go.

Sweet jeebers, America, how long until the boxcars?

Government agencies no longer providing forms or information in any language but English will definitely have a practical effect and harm.

What about Musk makes you think he’s polished?

Hmmmm. Nothing, I guess. 'Polished' is probably some unwanted prejudice baked into me, thinking a rich bastard must know how to present himself as businesslike to bankers and other such bastards, but sweet jeebers maybe you're right. I've certainly never seen Musk be anything but an unwiped ass.

Trump is America's Chief Petty Officer.

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hope you're right.

Stewart is smart and funny, but he's nice. He's going to be pleasant and welcoming, smiling and cracking jokes with one of the evilest men alive. Very good comedian against a very polished, smiling Nazi.

This is not an easy match like Stewart against two unprepared lightweights (Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala) on Crossfire. Elon Musk, for all his myriad faults, is not stupid, and will be well prepped.

I'm not excited about it. Too much could go wrong.

Sounds like they specifically targeted the gay and trans groups, which is infuriating but can't possibly be surprising. They'll be coming for any group that had their own chat rooms -- minorities, Muslims, whatever.

This is America now.

At last, my child is safe from the perils of autism!

You're annoyed that someone speaks against McDonald's?

In no rational sense is McDonald's marketing strategy "news."

Seems legit to me. For decades the "global economy" has been invoked to allow low wages, cheap imports, factory jobs outsourced to distant nations, etc. Here's a chance to use the "global economy" for good instead of evil — seize and sell off all the foreign assets of Russia and the Russian rich.

Add in a few hundred million people's financial and SocSec data stolen by Elon Musk...

I came here to say what you said, but you said it better. I'll just add...

Wake me up when the AP quits naively pretending Musk is acting in good faith and starts doing its damn job.

You're going to be sleeping a long time.
