Welcome to Onionland

[dreamshark]

You would think that nothing that could happen in US politics would surprise you any more, but there are still times where you have to double check that you haven't accidentally strayed onto The Onion website. Delightfully, the stories about angry Republican mobs parading around the residence of Georgia's rabidly Trumpist Governor Kemp screaming "LOCK HIM UP!" seem to be true. I die laughing. 

It is hard to believe that even Trump and his clown car of discredited lawyers will succeed in throwing the runoff Senate elections in Georgia to the Democratic challengers, but at this moment it is a distinct possibility. Probably won't happen, but I'm going to enjoy the moment.

If it's funny, it's The Onion.

It's not the Onion. It appears to be reality, of the "You can't make this shit up" variety.

Even the CNN anchor is incredulous.

She even laughs during her report. That reminds me of a Haiku I read about Trump's loss:

HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA FUCKER

I'm sorry that I don't remember the author.

We take our joy where we can find it, in these dark times. And watching the Republican party try to eat its seed corn is where I'm taking mine.
