Meaning

A friend of the blog emails:

The number of words that have totally lost their meaning over the last couple of weeks is astonishing. Coup, treason, sedition, insurrection and now unity. What’s next.

Anyone’s guess.

They join other terms – “white privilege”, “white supremacy”, “ Anti“ – pretty much any western virtue…

  1. Lewis Carroll, in “Through the Looking Glass” saw this:
    “When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.’

    ’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

    ’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master – that’s all.”

  2. There is this thing where some of you guys think it’s a matter of opinion whether the election was fair.  Assuming it was (..and it this IS the reality)…, then coup, treason, sedition, and insurrection are not actually misused as applied to the Coup de Tard.  There was a more than meaningful element present there not merely demonstrating.  They planned to use force divert the process from certification and confer a non-elected government.

    That’s a coup, that’s insurrection.  If you want to get picky on those middle words…. maybe.

  3. Pedo Joe’s HHS Secretary, an obese, clinicly diagnosed mentally ill man who dresses as a woman, has vowed to make “hostile misgendering” a mental illness.

    This tactic has been prophesied:

    You are a slow learner, Winston,’ said O’Brien gently.

    ‘How can I help it?’ he blubbered. ‘How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.’

    ‘Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.’

    Unfortunately for that obese man in a dress, and the reprobates that facilitate him, not only have they chosen an image that encourages mockery, they have no means to enforce their demand to acknowledge it as legitimate. That’s a man in a dress, O’Brein.

    She/her; He/him; They(looking at you, Faphammer); Xe/xer….We laugh, because it’s funny.

    The danger though, is to children, for they know not, and it is children these diseased people are after.

  4. then coup, treason, sedition, and insurrection are not actually misused as applied to the Coup de Tard.

    Fine, fuckwad. The penalty for treason is death. You assholes just gonna stand there rolling crap between your fingers, or you going to do something about it. Lol…

    Of course you won’t. Y’all are just running your stupid mouths, as Berg said.

  5. We came pretty close to installing Cow Man as dictator for life 🙂
    The #TDS crowd is never so crazy as they are when try to justify their Trump hatred. Putin’s cock holster! Tax returns! Secret Jew!

  6. “Fiscally conservative”

    As a Democrat has taken the office of President, the Republicans will reach in to the back of their sock drawer, or closet, and find their “fiscally conservative” testicles, dust them off, and pretend this has always been important to them.

  7. Ya know, among other mental dysfunctions, Dr. Strunk thinks Reek suffers from a form of Turrets syndrome. Apropos of nothing, he just blurts out stupid non-sequiturs…he can’t help himself.

    Reprobates are petri dishes for mental disfunctions, mal-adjustments and all manner of degeneracy.

  8. John, re: your 7:42, your comment consists of a logical fallacy known as “begging the question.” That means your analysis is faulty and your conclusion invalid. You don’t prove the election was fair by assuming it was fair and then attacking people who believe it was unfair.

    The people who believe the election was fair point to the fact that the officials accused of commiting misconduct have denied it, and that dozens of courts sidestepped the cases on made-up judicial excuses like ‘standing’ and ‘laches.’

    To the best of my knowledge (and I’m sure you’ll post a link if I’m wrong), nobody has conducted the sort of eyeballs-on-ballots challenges we saw in the hanging chads recounts, and no court has held a trial to listen to witness testimony about irregularities in the election. Instead, every objection has been brushed aside, every witness has been ignored, every request for verification met with vilification. Democrats are acting exactly as they would act, it was all a giant cover-up.

    It’s sort of like walking into the kitchen expecting to find cookies in the jar, but finding the jar empty with a kid sitting there full of crumbs. When the first words out of his mouth are: “You can’t prove I did it,” there’s no great confidence in his denial. On the contrary, the more he cries that it’s unfair to accuse him and blames his sister for it, the more one suspects the culprit has been caught red-handed.

    And that brings us back to words. If the election actually was stolen, possibly with help from foreign governments, then the words ‘coup’ and ‘treason’ do apply, but in the opposite direction, towards the Biden administration.

  9. I’m sure it’ll be on Tucker tonight — doing what he can to reinforce Trump’s big lie. Because we are a nation larded up with credulous nincompoops….

  10. ecause we are a nation larded up with credulous nincompoops….

    Yes, we are.

    As evidenced by yesterday’s decree that high schools should treat trans girls as girls for purposes of sports.

    We have half a nation that believes “science” is whatever their superiors say it is.

  11. My point is that we should not allow leaders who are responsible for and continue to actively encourage the Big Lie — they know exactly what they’re doing — off the hook.

    And stop with the “both sides” false equivalence.

  12. If only the equivalence were false … but no.

    Should we take comfort in Emery’s newfound conviction to seek out the Big Lies and not let liars off the hook?

    Ha.

  13. Joe, there has been no eyeball vetting of the fake ballots, and there won’t be.

    After the GA Senate ordered such an inspection, the stinking reprobates said “oopsie! Too late. We shredded them”

    You can bet the reprobates sent their pile of fake ballots to the incinerator on the pallets they brought them in on, too.

    With these type of shameless vermin, you have to strike lightening fast, or your chance is gone.

    I watched Tucker this morning on Utube (when will he switch to Rumble?). I haven’t switched Fox on since the Chris Wallace debate.

    Tucker is quite obviously outraged. He increasingly looks out of place on Fox. I wonder if Newsmax’s increasing bank account will allow them to extend an offer to him. I think he’d take it.

  14. Troy— Trump’s MAGA/QAnon supporters were only involved in an extraparliamentary mobilization to restore the national essence and defeat a corrupt elite, lead by a leader many felt was providentially selected for the task. And why would they do that? Could it be something their leader said to them? 😂

    You can bet the reprobates sent their pile of fake ballots to the landfill on the pallets they brought them in on, too.

    With these types of shameless trash, you have to strike lightening fast, or your chance is gone.
