Wow, that turned into a nothing-burger of the greatest proportions. Of course, I’m referring to the so-called “Wagner Rebellion.” I guessing future students won’t have to spend too much time learning about the global impacts of this one. It seemed to last about a day and then? Well, everyone went home. The leader of the – I don’t know, tantrum? – Yevgeny Prigozhin, (boy, does THAT mess with my spell-check) said he faces no charges for his actions. Expect him to become so filled with remorse he flies out of some 5th or 6th floor window soon. The two men with him at the time will testify it was suicide…

It sure looked serious for a minute, though, didn’t it? I think Putin might well have been running scared for a while. He got on a plane and left Moscow and his whereabouts are still unknown, as of this writing. I think Donald Trump was likely clenched extra tight, too. Trump has no legal defense for his actions, here in America, so he MUST get himself “elected” so he can abuse the levers of power and free himself and his co-conspirators. Those he still likes, anyway. In order to do THAT, Trump needs Russia. If Putin gets bumped, Trump loses his main political supporter AND his handler. Who would Trump send his secret, stolen documents to, if not his buddy Vlad?

Still, if someone in Russia is even willing to pretend to engage in an uprising against Vladimir “the murderer” Putin, it signals a fairly substantial loss of support and prestige for Putin and his obnoxious policies. I’ll tell you this: the best thing that could happen for Ukraine and the worst thing that could happen to Trump are the same: the fall of Putin. Keep your fingers crossed…

Republicans in the House are STILL working to undermine the popularity of their party by attacking a woman’s right to choose. Good. Keep coming. Keep them pissed off. Keep telling them how much you hate, hate, hate individual liberty. Well, for women, anyway. Women love things like that. They’re really going to respond well. Maybe next you could try a “half pay for equal work” bill. THAT ought to bring ’em running! (Sure, they’ll have torches and pitchforks, but they’ll be running…)

After that? Well the GOP should outlaw shoes for women. I mean, look, all those shoes just take up space in the closet. Besides, having shoes makes it easier to get away. Take their shoes. They can still get outside and water the garden but they won’t get much further. In fact, now that I think about it, the GOP should just outlaw ALL clothes for women. Hell, that’s better than a burka. They won’t want to go outside at all if they’re naked. THAT should keep them in the kitchen, where they belong!

Oh, crap, I forgot about work. They have to work. Gotta feed the machine. Okay, let ’em have clothes – but only the ugly clothes. If you let them dress too nicely, they might entice some poor, unsuspecting man into some kind of sexual misbehavior. I guess they’re going to need their shoes, too, but we can still keep them down by “managing” their ability to manage their own reproduction. I’m sure women everywhere will appreciate the helpful guidance they’re getting from men on the topic and rush to support the party promoting the 17th century, cutting-edge ideals.

Still no word on any serious effort, anywhere in the country, from sea to oil-stained sea, to hold the men accountable for where they leave their sacred sperm…

In a completely separate, totally unrelated article, the Taliban assures the world women are provided with a “comfortable and prosperous life” in Afghanistan. The accompanying photo shows two women in full burkas just…out in public…as proof. Well…I’m convinced…

Okay, one last thought on this whole, “women shouldn’t have rights” thing being pushed in so many red states. I remember ,clearly, when you’all wanted to attack women but couldn’t, the claim was that it should be a state’s rights issue. Now red states are trying to pass laws preventing women from leaving their own backward, neanderthal red states – those who can, anyway – in order to receive health care from states that still think women should be allowed to control their own reproduction. In short, they’re trying to extend their own moronic views to other, better states. The GOP doesn’t really think it’s a state’s rights issue, they think it’s THEIR state’s right to decide.

That’s quite common for the cons. They’re forever screaming about individual rights but those are just the words. What they DO is use their rights to take rights away from anybody and everybody they disagree with or whom they find kinda “yucky.”

I’ll tell you this: That’s not “freedom.” That’s imposing YOUR beliefs on others. Cons never seem to grasp the basics…
