"Hi. In today's episode of Even More News, Katy, Cody and Jonathan discuss the tragic mass shootings that occurred over the weekend, Donald Trump's National Presidential Security Measure - 7 which labels most non-MAGA beliefs to be a gateway to domestic terrorism, and they get into the James Comey's indictment."
Yeah, mass shootings have become so routine now that MAGAts have a ready-made plan to simply make use of them to vilify the left, even if the shooter may have had nothing whatsoever to do with the left and everything to do with their own "side."
Nice "hmm" when Jonathan was reading that list and got to the "support for the overthrow of the United States government" bullet point.

Re: the "Department of War," I'm just still waiting for the Department of Justice to be more accurately renamed to the "Department of Vengeance."

Heh, they mention that whole "Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" thing, too.
Yeah, all of this, every single goddamned bit of it, is nothing but manufactured bullshit, engineered specifically so that idiots who do absolutely nothing but sit around and consume RWNJ "media" all day can see all this bullshit and say "Yeah, that's our guy, our tough president!"
...
And speaking of the "Department of Vengeance."
*weary goddamned motherfucking sigh*
Okay, look, every time someone blames Comey as "the guy who may have helped Trump become president last time"/"the guy who won him the election" (and repeats it again later), I feel the need to bring up the True Pundit Hoax (here for reference) yet again. Like, I don't give much of a shit about James Comey himself, per se.[1] But I don't think Comey should be blamed (or, at least, solely blamed or even mostly blamed) for doing the thing he was essentially blackmailed by Trumplandia into doing, because if he hadn't done it... well... no, I guess I can't say that things would have ended up worse, because the worst still happened, regardless: Trump was elected in 2016.
And of course, all of that is predicated upon the belief that Seth Abramson is not entirely full of shit, and based on my prior following of him[2], he was rather credible. He would consistently report on things back in 2015 and 2016 that it would take the mainstream media six months to a year or more to pick up on. Not that any of that shit mattered, in the end, because Trump still got elected. Twice.
But even if none of that was true, even if Comey really did twirl his figurative mustache like Snidely Whiplash and decide all on his own to "put his thumb on the scales" and win the election for Trump, it's still wrong for Trump to have him (or anyone else) targeted for (unrelated) frivolous indictments like this, just because he's one of delusional Trump's perceived enemies.
...
I do appreciate Jonathon's self correction.
[1] - And I agree with Cody that Trump's mooks are going after Comey first because, indeed, "the left" doesn't care about Comey, given that "Comey is the guy who got Trump elected last time" so fuck him or whatever. They're going first after guys like Comey that "the left" doesn't care about in order to "normalize" this whole thing, rather than starting with, like, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or whoever.
[2] - Back in the days before I completely nuked my
