Last post for now before I... erm... fly. This week's SHOWER CAP BLOG:
Vladimir Putin in the Multiverse of Consequences - Shower Cap Blog
EXCERPTS PART ONE:
Fifty **** days into the Special Military Operation
that was supposed to take two, the Russian military has graduated from Retreating in Shambles to In Hindsight We Probably Shouldn’t Have Left That Black Sea Flagship Out Where Ukraine Could Sink It.
The mighty Kremlin disinformation factory’s best **** spin on this debacle was “NUH-UH! We suck so hard we blowed up our OWN boat!”
Meanwhile, the plan to fragment and weaken NATO is going so well, the debate on membership in Finland and Sweden has swung from “hard nah” to “would it be tacky to include baked goods with our application packet?”
which, when you think about it, is the entirely inevitable consequence of A) starting a war of aggression in Europe, and B) **** it up this badly.
The Russkies have threatened retaliation, of course. They’re doing quite a bit of threatening these days, which, like…you and literally what army, dawg? Incidentally, y’all are the ones who decided to wander into somebody else’s country and start murdering children, so you’re not allowed to get all fussy when folks fight back.
Tucker Carlson, multi-tasking fascist beaver that he is, won’t let his content-creating obligations to Putin’s propaganda machine interfere with his existing domestic radicalization/stochastic terrorism program. It made distressingly few headlines this week, when the most watched man on cable openly, casually called upon his viewers to physically assault public school teachers.
I mean, it’s no Nancy Pelosi Has Loads of Ice Cream, but in a country with a real and growing right-wing violence problem, it feels newsworthy.
