Socialist Paradise of Venezuela & Gasoline shortage: Funeral Hearses must meet a condition to buy gas

This was done via browser translator, but you still will get the idea. From El Nacional newspaper:

Zodi is a what they call a military district which now “legally” overrides the once constitutional powers of States. So. the boss of the military district that encompasses the city of Cumana has ordered for hearses to have a boy on board so they can be eligible to buy gasoline.

You are at a funeral home and the casket of a loved one is loaded in a hearse for the final trip to the cemetery. On the way to the final resting place, they have to go to the gas station, wait in line (probably hours) and once they manage to get to the pumps, they will have to open the rear door, pull the coffin and show there is a body inside so the sale can finally proceed.  I am sure this will go lovely with the relatives of the deceased.

Of course, if you want to avoid this, the family should bring a jerry can with gas as for of payment which probably has been filled at the same gas station after a generous contribution has been made to the local military authority.

Viva la fucking Revolucion.

Old News: She might have been a bit upset.

Let’s summarize: She was already upset, fell off the second floor, went back upstairs to beat on the husband, cops arrive and she chases them out of the building and they make a hasty retreat.

This is a seriously pissed off wife.

McClatchy: The photo is insulting, the words ain’t.

Seen in the Miami Herald:

Great, McClatchy (Parent company of the Miami Herald and many other newspapers) assumes their readers can see pictures, but actually do not pay attention to the words in the article.

The t-shirt appears in a cursory Google search as being sold in several online stores. Some already either pulled it out or sold out, while there are still plenty offerings out there.

These people have lost their G-d damned minds

I have never seen a manufactured moral panic spread and turn into such over-the-top bullshit so rapidly in my life.

This is bat-shit fucking craziness.

I have no idea how we recover when people see a giant, bloated, obsolete, insolvent, government corporation making minor improvements in efficiency and turn it into a fascist conspiracy.

We are clearly done as a nation.

The American experiment has ended.

 

Lad Everitt TDS Report: The patient is beyond hope.

I almost feel guilty making fun of poor Ladd. But then I remember how he wished all kinds of evil shit upon us and the guilt goes away and I just munch on popcorn.

 

Thi9s last one is indeed funny. Messing with Mail Personnel while performing their duties is a Federal Felony that carries up to 20 years in the pen.

He is too mentally messed up to even get a guest appearance in the Young Turks. And I would not be surprised if we ever see a mass shooting somewhere and turns out to be dear old Ladd as the shooter.

At least some of the military will turn against us

I have talked about O’Sulivan’s Law and the military several times before.

The Republicans’ beatification of veterans and those who serve is really going to backfire.

Are there good, patriotic Americans who serve?  Of course there are.

Are there people in uniform who hate half or more of this country and would love nothing more than use the military to kill the shit out of Americans who disagree with them?  Yes, they exist in uniform too.

One just got arrested in Oregon smashing and burning the Multnomah County Building.

 

I truly believe that if push came to shove, officers in the US military such as Tammy Duckworth, Ted Lieu, Pam Keith, Pete Buttigieg, Amy McGrath, Charlotte Clymer, and every general who ever did a segment on CNN or MSNBC about how the “AR-15 is a weapon of war” would be happy to lead handpicked battalions of troops like Jesse Hawk and the cadre of Antifa “Wall of Veterans” to reenact Sherman’s March to the South or Wounded Knee against patriotic, flag-waving, gun-owning, Trump-voting, Middle America.

 

You are on your own when the mob comes to town

From Fox News:

Over 60 Portland 911 calls go unheeded overnight as police respond to riot

More than 60 emergency calls to police went unheeded overnight in Portland as officers were preoccupied with hundreds of demonstrators downtown and were pelted by rocks.

On the 80th consecutive night of protests, the Portland Police Bureau declared a riot around midnight Sunday after a crowd of hundreds had blocked traffic for three hours by the Penumbra Kelly Building in the 4700 block of East Burnside Street, trespassed on the closed property and engaged in “violent, tumultuous conduct.”

“At the time of this release over 60 calls for police service were holding around the city,” the Police Bureau said in a statement. “Some had been holding for the length of the events described here. Call types ranged from theft, vandalism, suspicious activity, hazards, hit and run, burglary, violation of restraining order, alarms, stolen cars, harassment and many others.”

That occurred during the stretch of just before midnight Saturday to 2:45 am Sunday morning.

Rioters fighting with the cops downtown overwhelmed the system so rioters who went into the suburbs were free to cause havoc.

Imagine being on the phone with 9-1-1 on hold for three hours in your house or apartment in the wee hours of the morning, as chaos, looting, and violence are going on all around you.

At that moment you are your first, last, and only line of defense.  If you are not prepared you are utterly at the mercy of the mob.

At this point, you need to be sure that you have enough guns, fire extinguishers, and ammo, and know how to use them.

When the mob starts a ruckus there won’t be anyone to answer your calls for help.
