You can always hire half the poor to kill the other half. I didn’t think of that but I wish so bad I did that reading it fills me with shame and regret.

Michigan.

What we stare at.  Fascist.  Dictatorial.

Legislation peristaltically forced down the the throat and through the bowels of the body politic.  Laws.  Laws that provide for the Governor of Michigan, after slashing budgets malignantly, to allow him to declare a state of financial emergency wherever he has burned crops.  Laws.  Legislation that then empowers him upon declaring a state of financial emergency, to strip that slashed and burned township of it’s democratically elected officials and cancel all of it’s contracts.  The legal right to fire any and all persons elected by the people and piss all over any contract entered into via the will of the people.  A law that would then enable him to literally replace those elected officials with non-elected appointees.

The potential to take over every city government in the state of Libya….I mean Michigan.  Financial marshal law.

This after he’s proposed $1.2 billion in budget cuts to local governments and schools and $1.8 billion in tax cuts to corporations.  Do the math.  We don’t need a mathematician here, a third grader with a solar powered calculator will do.  Said third grader will point to an obvious and impending financial crisis while fascist plutocrats will drool and clasp their hands with triumphant glee over the frilly drool bibs they’ve affected since before the Gipper first shat himself in the White House.

Forgive me, this happens all the time but I can’t recall there ever being a law for it.  Plenty of laws against it.  But never for it.    Pantheonic.   Deviously comprehensive.  Help me out here; where is this unconstitutional in light of state’s rights and all?  Is there a lawyer in the house?  No hacks please, we need a good one.

It is cruel and unusual.

His name is Dick Snyder.

I think of him as Snyderdick.

I need for you to see a pattern here.

Work with me.  I’m not the first to point it out but it bears repeating.  We are not broke.  We need to get our fiscal house in order but we aren’t poor.  America (ns), have plenty of money.  We have the largest ever gap between the haves and the have nots, however.  That gap gained breadth enough to surpass third world countries under the previous Dick-in-Bush administration.  It’s no accident.  Trust me.  Again, this shit goes on all the time but it’s never actually been legal.  Until now it all fell under the general malaise known as Reaganomics or trickle down/supply side economics.  In other words, the redistribution of wealth in the opposite direction that so many mouth breathing conservative, pee farty hatriot, fucktardian zombies rail against, absent logic or even common sense.

These guys are dicks.

Now they seek to accelerate the process.  To seal the deal.  To make it even more impossible to beat them back.  We are witnessing and experiencing the dry desert  blowback from the 2010 national election.  Reaping what’s sown.  Immediate consequences for knee jerk stupidity.

Union busting.  Financial dominance.  Concentration of wealth.  Culture war.  Disinformation.  Class warfare.  Stoking the racial and gender divide.  There are millions of long toothed fuckers hacking away with pick axes at what we still take for granted and most of them know not what they do.  Minions.  Tools.  The Republican elite cultivating the idea of not having as much as a Barbie crotch is in control and they bellow and beseech about the opposite but they’re all in when it comes to the government dictating your every move.  What you use your dick for.  Where you put it.  Who gets to see it.  They don’t need your consent to talk to your mother.

They do this by exaggerating an economic crisis of their own devise.  I’m not saying we’re not in trouble, I’m just pointing out that it’s their fault and now they’re bashing us over the goddamn head with it.  They’re looking to mitigate it on our dime but they’re not so stupid as to have it be as bad as they paint it.  These fuckers have more than enough to make it okay.  But they understand it would be painful.  Not excruciating.  More like a prick of the finger for a small class of people who are accustomed to having their pricks fingered.

See?  Patterns.

“This is about a lot of things. This is not about a budget. This is using or fabricating crisis to push for an agenda you’d never be able to sell under normal circumstances, and so you have to convince everyone that these are not normal circumstances. These are desperate circumstances and your desperate measures are there for somehow required. What this is has a name. It is called shock doctrine.” -Rachel Maddow

They would have you believe that the other 98% is in favor of a class war when it is the very battle they march to every day, in every way, relentlessly, without acknowledging it, while consistently blaming it on everyone else.

They figured out a long time ago the power of blaming the opposition for their own crimes.  They embrace hypocrisy with a huge hug as lascivious as a pasty aging pedophile would.

Simultaneously, they get all self righteously puffy over a much meatier hand in government.  Even on the local level.  Despite what they shout from the rooftops about the size of government.

They accuse average Americans of what they know they are profoundly guilty of, while bulldozing everything they say they stand for.

See the pattern?

Rome is burning.

Republicans campaign against arsonists.  Republicans love to play with matches.  Republicans hate firefighters.

Fucking Republicans.

Drinks for my friends.
