Dispatches From the Fortress – Day 256

I have the feeling that for the rest of our lives, we'll be running into Trump supporters who will insist that their guy obviously won the 2020 Presidential Election (and not by a narrow margin) and had it stolen from him. They will not be able to explain how Democrats — who they claim are idiots who can't accomplish anything — pulled it off, nor why the many Republican judges and other officials who had to be in on it were in on it. But they'll be sure it happened and maybe even that deep down, we know it did.

They will insist there was incontrovertible, inarguable evidence of the steal but they'll have a hard time explaining why Trump's lawyers put little or none of it before judges or even Tucker Carlson. Some of the cases — especially the big one that was just tossed outta court in Pennsylvania — were so feeble that someone will surely suggest, if they haven't already, that Trump's attorneys were paid to throw the fights.

Can't wait to see how Rudy Giuliani will respond to that. It won't be his hair dye that melts. It'll be his entire head.


The stores around are out of toilet paper. It was all bought up by people who heard that panic buying/hoarding of it was happening so they rushed to buy/hoard, thereby creating the panic they'd heard about.

When you think about it, it's the perfect commodity to be hoarded. It's pretty much a necessity and it never expires. No matter how much you buy, you'll eventually use it. The same is true of paper towels, tissues, McDonald's hamburgers and very few other things we need.
