Five rich guys climbed into an uncertified, dangerous submersible – and headed off on an adventure they had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for – an opportunity to see Titanic first-hand. An hour and forty-five minutes later, the craft with the questionable building materials imploded, killing everyone aboard instantly. For several days, the entire world watched as navies from several nations scrambled their best men and equipment in an effort to find and maybe save them, happy to help. Rich guys, you know…

Meanwhile, 750 people clambered aboard a boat that was built according to a known standard and had (once) met all required specifications – but was never built to carry 750 passengers at the same time – and set off on a desperate voyage they had paid thousands of dollars for – to find a decent, safer life. Some time later, the boat capsized, leaving 300 known dead so far. Did you even know? One small country, Greece, is dealing with it and they’re a little irritated by the trouble. Immigrants.

Just a little side-by-side reflecting the value put on some human lives over others. Deepest condolences to all who were lost…

Well, this seems inevitable. I JUST wrote about how excited the cons were that John Durham had been appointed to Special Counsel so he could expose all the wrong-doing the cons believe the Democrats used in their baseless attack on the con CheetoJesus, the criminal, (allegedly) traitorous, sexual predator Donald J. Trump. I mean, cons were in progressive faces, taunting the progressives that their witch-hunt was about to be fully exposed. “Neener, neener, neener we’re gonna get you! Neener, neener, neener Durham’s gonna prove it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha you’re so stupid!”

Uh-huh. John Durham was their handpicked attack dog – handpicked, that is, by Bill Barr and Donald Trump, make no mistake. He did his best to attack. Durham and I haven’t spoken in, well, a long time so I can’t say for sure, but I believe he believed and went into the project with faith and enthusiasm. After days, weeks, months, and then years, he found nothing. Since that was what he found (nothing), that’s what he put in his report: I found nothing.

In fairness, Durham was being asked to find the Rainbow Unicorn Valley and bring proof of Unicorns to the world. Cons – as a group – don’t much care about facts or evidence or any of that legal “mumbo-jumbo.” Once the cons decided Rainbow Unicorn Valley was a real place, it was just a matter of finding the right man to discover the exact (and secret) coordinates and bring the proof.

In the same way, they knew Trump was innocent because they WANTED to know Trump was innocent. They told themselves (and each other) every tall-tale they could think of to cover up for their Pusillanimous Prevaricator. THEN, they dutifully forced themselves to believe their preferred reality was actual reality and that actual reality is just an obstacle to overcome. In short, they desperately believe in Unicorns because they WANT to believe in Unicorns.

But when you officially charge a guy with finding and proving your Unicorns, your guy is going to come up short. It turns out, tall-tales and delusions are notoriously difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, unlike, say, criminal retention of classified documents or even suspicious contact with Russians about elections. (Special note to cons: it’s because the crimes are real and Unicorns are not, see?)

As you can imagine, since Durham was hand-picked by Trump and Barr and sicced on anyone and everyone who ever told the truth about Trump, once he (Durham) investigated and charged and tried (and lost) and reported that Unicorns just don’t seem to exist, the cons finally stood down, accepted reality, and stopped looking for Unicorns.

Ha, HA, what are you, three? Of COURSE the cons haven’t surrendered their delusions. Instead, they’ve surrendered John Durham. The cons called Durham before the House so he could tell them all the good dirt he really discovered and explain why it didn’t get into his hit-piece, er, “report.” But Durham didn’t fess up to the “deets.” He just stood by what he had reported in the first place. Dems, apparently, hadn’t broken the rules. Cons, predictably, were pissed off!

If Durham wasn’t going to confirm their fever dreams, there can only be one reason.
“Um…because there was nothing to report?”
“Idiot! NO! CLEARLY, John Durham is a RINO operative of the Deep State!”
Video exists of Matt Gaetz leveling the charge. Gaetz really tore into Durham, insulting him and abusing him and ranting and raving and finally, excommunicating Durham from the good graces of the party. I’m sure by now, every taunting con is certain Durham is a RINO operative of the Deep State – and remains certain Trump is just being picked on by meanies.

That’s what We, the People are up against – a group who WILL choose their delusions over evidence. (And the insanity is spreading in Europe, as well.) The hopeful part? These Einsteins would rather eat their own rather than confess they may have been mistaken. But since they will never find their Unicorns the con-eats-con-feast can only expand. These guys are going to tear themselves to shreds trying to out-crazy one another and I, for one, intend to sit back and enjoy the show. Pass the popcorn…

OMG, I just stumbled on a good umbrella name for the cons, as a group: the “not-sees.” They choose to “not see” reality while they work to help the one percent infect our once-great nation with Fascism. It’s kind of perfect, the “not-sees.” Feel free to use it…
