Midnight Meme Of The Day!

by Noah

As the graphic I'm using for tonight's meme shows, the sales of video games have nothing to do with gun violence. It's a simple compare and contrast exercise. As one traitorous nutball $enate Majority Leader would say, "Case Closed." And, in this case, it actually is. Since Sunday, our Neo-Nazi President and his staff, his advisors at FOX "News," and the rest of the Republican Party loon and goon universe have been going overboard in their twisting themselves into the ground trying to redirect the blame for the El Paso shooting away from their years of advocating white supremacy. They have been pointing to other external causes that aren't even remotely possible causes. The Republican Looniverse has been doing this, not as denial to self (They are proud of what they are), but as a simple yet pathetic attempt at "Hey, look over there!" politics. One republican, Ohio legislator Candice Keller even blamed both the El Paso shooting and the Dayton shooting on marijuana, "homosexual marriage" and drag queens. Drag queens? She said this, of course, while accusing "the democrats" of (in her very words) "playing the blame game." I guess she felt she had to top Pat Robertson. Speaking of which, c'mon Pat, whaddya got to top that? A nation turns its lonely ears to you, Pat. And Candice, whatsamatter? Why are you blaming drag queens? Anger issues? Catch your hubby steppin' out in your wedding dress and heels the other night?

The El Paso and Dayton shootings have turned the Republican Party into even more of a freaky shitshow than normal! I know. Seems impossible to believe. Who would have thought it possible? One thing's for sure, the next horrific shooting will result in even more bizarre claims. It's who they are. It's what they do. Inbred Jesus goon Mike Huckabee even went so far as to blame the shootings on a lack of... get ready for it... a "lack of thoughts and prayers." Ladies and gentlemen, the dark comedy stylings of Mike Huckabee! Let's give him a big hand! God! Where do they get these imbecilic cretins? We not only need gun control, we need procreation control! Fast! I know it's too late for Huckabee, but someone needs to send the Vasectomy Truck to wherever his grandkids live. Don't worry, they do Tube-Ties too. What's next? Teletubbies pulled the triggers?

The biggest, most popular claim among the republikooks though is that video games are to blame for the shootings. How's that for an old reliable canard of misdirection? Sure, to republicans; drag queens, lack of "thoughts and prayers," Sponge Bob's chain of Secret Underwater Gay Instruction Camps and Hillary's emails all carry some blame, but not once do republicans mention their own people like Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump pushing white supremacy and Neo-Nazi conspiracy theories such as their favorite made up nonsense about South African blacks being engaged in the genocide of South African white folks having anything to do with encouraging the Republican Party's base to get violent. Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick rushed to the FOX "News" studios to implore the federal government to "do something about the video game industry." House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy did the same. If you were stupid enough to follow what passes for that Republican logic, you would have to assume that people in countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Germany never played a video game in their lives.

The blaming of video games is even beyond conservatives of the 1950s claiming that comic books were causing gang violence and then their calling for the burning of Beatles records in the 1960s. How long before the Trump Party starts burning play station gear, burning down movie theaters, and calling for a complete shutdown of Netflix "until we figure out what the hell is going on." But, the fact is that Trump's racist rallies and FOX "News" are to white supremacists as Inspire, the al Qaeda online magazine is to the Muslim terror network. Both exist to radicalize their audience. Tucker Carlson, himself an obvious white supremacist on an open mission of pushing white supremacy, went so far as to claim that white supremacy is a hoax. Really, Tucker? Is that supposed to mean that you yourself are a hoax? Poor Tucker. I guess he feels that if white supremacy is under threat, he might lose his job, or worse.

Another FOX single digit IQ knuckle-dragging Goon, Brian Kilmeade, echoed the El Paso shooter's Nazi manifesto, like all good white supremacy Republicans from the sewer of Trump are doing, as he fearfully lamented an "invasion" of Latinos, Republican code for "brown people," as if that justified a mass murderer driving 10 hours to El Paso to kill and kill and kill. Kilmeade also puked up the following proof of his idiocy-

I'm just wondering if, did George Bush ever condemn President Obama after Sandy hook?

Well Brian, no, he didn't. But, you see even George Bush had more smarts and class than your white supremacist idol, plus, President Obama never railed against the 1st graders and teachers of Sandy Hook Elementary School as an evil invasion of rapists and disease-carrying drug smugglers. President Obama also never smiled and laughed at the idea that someone might shoot them since no one at his rallies suggested that someone should. So, there's quite a difference even if your minuscule little FOX "News" brain can't grasp it.

Trump, of course, immediately tweeted Kilmeade's words to his rabid following of racists and went back to looking for new ways to damage the lives as many Americans as possible.
