If they only had a brain…<\/p>\n

This is where the Never Trumpers always hoped<\/strong> we’d\/they’d be<\/em>: they’ll clutch their pearls pro forma<\/em> for about 15 seconds, just to pay homage to the ancient platforms, oaths, and deities they long ago abandoned.<\/p>\n

Then they’ll start clawing tooth and nail to become the Jeb3.0 Savior Of The Party, and try to make a pitch to last-minute supplant Trump on this year’s nomination ballot, aching to lose gloriously (a la Dole, McCrazy, and Romney) fighting Emperor Poopypants and his puppet masters with one hand tied behind their back, and wearing a full blindfold to the manifest gang-raping of our Constitution and the republic (when they’re not busy participating in it themselves gleefully).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s merely a brief passage from what I\u2019ll call\u00a0Chapter One<\/a>, with Chapter Two<\/a>\u00a0hard on its heels. At first glance, the two posts might appear to be topically unrelated, but I must beg to differ. These days it\u2019s ALL related, in one way or another.<\/p>\n

In all the many, many years I\u2019ve been pursuing this avocation, I\u2019ve gotten to know quite a few fellow Reich<\/em>wing\u00dcber<\/em>NaziDeathbeast bloggers, who between all of us have burned down a hell of a lot of Leftist scarecrows that badly needed the immolation. But of all those, I can\u2019t recall a one who wielded a bigger flamethrower than our friend Aesop. Which is just my way of telling you good folks that you need to read all of these two. If you haven\u2019t read him before, call it your baptism of fire.<\/p>\n

No, of course I don\u2019t completely agree with him every single time, on every single issue. If that was the case it would be cause for both of us to worry, because it\u2019s a sure-fire indication that one of us (at least) must be bugfuck nuts. But hey\u2014when he\u2019s right, he is hand-to-God, balls-to-the-wall right<\/em>. Which, y\u2019know, is often enough to suit me.<\/p>\n
