      I know there’s been a lot of talk of ‘peasant mindset’ lately, but can we not do a new corpse synod?

    Go ahead. She still died gurgling through a hole in her neck. Surrounded by a bunch of neckbeard traitors filming her for internet points.

    That’s all I care about.

    This only shames the military, which I’m also alright with.

    They should also write a heroic ballad about her to the tune of the Horst Wessel Lied and make it the official anthem of the Republican Party.

    I guess this community doesn’t like links to the likes of blogs for top-level stories, but I’ll put this link here. Wonkette is actually very good at pulling together lots of relevant links and so on. I happen to loooove the snarky commentary they use as well, although I realize that’s not everyone’s cuppa.

      It never did when people give up on the concept of truth that is independent of individual experience.

          What I meant to say is that fascism is fundamentally dependent on rejecting a ‘global’ reality we all agree to and asserting its own version of reality, which isnt subject to external validation.

      Exactly. The convicted felon in the WH pardoned all of the Jan 6 terrorists, oops, I mean, “rioters”.

      And now this.

          Whoever wrote that headline probably thought they were being “fair” to call them “rioters”. I mean, insurrectionist is the compromise, but terrorist is far more appropriate.

          Terrorism: The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

          This is EXACTLY what these “protesters” were up to.

      I think it started a few decades ago. My stepdad insisted on being buried in a national military cemetery.

      He was stationed in Germany during the army and loved it. He only had good or fun stories to tell about his time in the military in the early 1960s.

      He met a conservative German woman, brought her home, married her. Kinda learned to think Hitler wasn’t all bad through her and her family. He got a job because of his military service, which paid him well and gave him a pension when he retired.

      He loved Trump, starting with the birther conspiracies and carrying through The Apprentice. I’ve never seen him happier than when Trump won.

      He insisted on being buried in a national military cemetery because of his 4 years of international vacation fixing trucks.

      ——

      Meanwhile, the previous generation of my own family lived through the Great Depression and fought in world war 2, and they’re buried with their families.

      It’s a different kind of stolen valor.

    Haven’t they already buried this bitch? She’s been dead for nearly half a decade.

    They really going to dig her up and give her another funeral or something?

    This country is chock full of performative fucking idiots.
