SCENE: Mitch BERG is trying out an ethiopian restaurant. Avery LIBRELLE, wearing two masks and a face shield, walks in, and notices BERG before he can hide his face behind a menu.

LIBRELLE: Merg!

BERG: Oh, fuuuu…get about finding better Ethiopian food than…

LIBRELLE: All Republicans are at fault for supporting the overthrow of the Constitution! January 6 proves it!

BERG: Look – it’s not only possible to believe that Trump, Powell and Giuliani’s lies about the 2020 election got a certain faction of people lathered up with some really stupid ideas, and it was a grave offense – in some ways, moreso than the left’s “mostly peaceful” riots of the previous year, if only because of what they rebelled against, and the. incredible inadvisability of “revolutionary” action that isn’t carried out for the absolutely most solid of motives, and that the Democrats need to continue waving the bloody shirt to deflect the nation from the problems that they created, and to fight the battle for the GOP’s identity without taking counsel of the Demcorats deflections and gaslighting, all at the same time.

And continuing to try to tar every Repubican with it is the lowest form of social gaslighting.

LIBRELLE: Hah. You’re the only gaslighter, whatever you actually say, because you don’t really know what you thjink, but I know what Republicans really think, deep down in their cold little hearts. You are a gaslighter, even if you don’t. know or believe it.

BERG: Huh.

LIBRELLE: If you weren’t a gaslighter, you wouldn’t need to make up fake conversations that didn’t really happen!

BERG: Riiiiiiiight

LIBRELLE: Anyway – Trump’s going to go to jail!

BERG: Probably not. Anyway – Trump’s not the president, and the GOP needs to figure out its way forward. Which is, of course, why Big Left is gaslighting Republicans – it’s what domestic abusers do.

But I can see why Democrats keep turning every possible conversation back to January 6. Then, you don’t have to talk about inflation, the national debt, the crime, homelessnes and blight waves sweeping Blue cities, the supply chain, the incoherence of the Administration’s Covid policy, the collapse of the immigration system, the Democrat debacle in Virginia, a mid-term that shows promise to be a wave election, the fact that the top of your ticket is a senile man and a woman who most Americans wouldn’t trust to fill out a bowling scorecard, Latino voters deserting the Democrats by the biggest numbers since 2000, and the most Afro-Americans since 1960, parents deserting and rebelling against “woke” school boards…

LIBRELLE: (Plugs ears, turns and runs) Januaryi 6! January 6! Rethuglicon white supremacist Nazis! January 6…! (Runs out door)

WAITER: Er, what was his…er, her…er, what was the problem?

BERG: Gas, I suspect.

WAITER: I hope…it gets help.

BERG: Don’t we all.

WAITER: Hey – isn’t this one of those “made up conversations“? What is it called in English?

BERG: Satire?

WAITER: What a wonderful invention. What a wonderful country.

BERG: I know, right? Could I see a menu?

WAITER: Certainly…

  1. I have a challenge for the troll before it weighs in with idiocy. Name the 5 cops who were killed. That’s right, one of your congress critters said that, maybe in congress even.

    Heck, just name 2. Lefties everywhere keep saying “the deadly attack”. So name the dead, or shut your hole about it.

    Not Snicknik or however you spell it. he died a day or two later in a hospital of stroke. Strokes are not caused by stress, but by blood clot, so don’t bother with “the riot” caused it.

    Name them. Or beat it.

  2. “DC”, or what/whomever, tried to sue proud boys and some other made up phantom bugaboo of the left, but were told they had no standing. This is becoming such a huge nothingburger, as they try to stretch it out to the midterms it will backfire BIGLY.

  3. PS: I am a Repubbie since I voted for Reagan in ’84, and I voted for Trump both times, I do not think he should not run again.

  4. Mitch BERG is trying out an ethiopian restaurant.

    I know that place. They say the camel balls and dirt, with roach milk sauce is very authentic.

  5. I tried a brand new Ethiopian restaurant in my neighborhood over the weekend. Didn’t see camel balls, roach milk, or even locusts on the menu (or MBerg for that matter) – or Avery, the Ghost of Christmas Third Person Past Tense.

  6. No one can say for certain who received the most legal votes in the 2020 election, anymore than anyone can tell you who received the most legal votes in the 2016 election.
    What? You counted them yourself?
    As an American, you are free to have whatever opinion you choose on the topic, and as an American you are allowed to share that opinion.
    You are also allowed to have and voice an opinion on the attempts of Zuckerberg and others to drive out the vote in crooked blue precincts in red states, or the last minute loosening of vote by mail security by state officials aligned with the democrats.
    Ain’t no law against it yet.

    Yeah, I heard about that one… that’s the one owned by Daytons kids…isn’t it called the Bachelor goat herder?

    They couldn’t make a plate of camel balls to save their lives.

  8. Those of us with a few brain cells have figured out at the people who claim that Trump is a threat to our democracy are doing everything they can to keep you from voting for Trump.
    This was the goal of both of the farcical impeachment attempts.
    The people who call themselves “Democrats” are terrified of citizens casting votes.
