Ever see a chicken run around with its head cut off? Well, I have not but I suspect it looks something like the last week of Republicans losing their shit over the coming midterm wipeout.
Gerrymandering, dark money in churches, rigged census counts. Yeah, Republicans are desperate to hold onto power because they know how much this country hates them.
This is what it looks like when fascism panics.
Ogre Nation News Update!
4:08 - 12:40 The July Jobs Report was bad so Trump fired the woman in charge of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Because that’s what fascists do to hide the truth, they panic.
12:45 - 16:34 Texas dictator Greg Abbott is trying to remove Democrats from their elected positions so he can steal House seats through gerrymandering. More fascist panic.
16:35 - 21:15 Florida’s tinpot tyrant Ron DeSantis is demanding a new Census we can eliminate all those pesky immigrants from the count. Even more fascist panic.
21:25 - 29:41 The Epstein scandal is still going. How’s it going? Badly for Trump. He’s protecting a pedophile and now the right wing media is circling the wagons to protect their Dear Leader.
29:42 - 36:22 Israel is deliberately starving Gaza and the Very Concerned People of the “Free Palestine!” crowd are really upset. But not at Trump. That’s weird.
