White House Immolation
In a tragic revival of an old protest tradition, a man set himself on fire near the White House this week.
And yes, this somehow put me in mind of the Democratic Party’s insistence on trying to foist Joe Biden onto progressive voters – which, of course, would be their biggest debacle since the 2016 debacle, and a true “hold my beer” moment for the Democrats.

I can’t pretend I didn’t enjoy watching the massive faceplant that was “Operation Liberty”, the latest attempt to topple Chavismo and install Washington darling and fascist enabler Juan “Guido” Guaido in Venezuela.
It was pure comedy gold, watching Guido’s handlers in Washington stepping on their own cranks trying to spin the events in Caracas this past week, and Guido’s flunkies seeking refuge in the Brazilian and Chilean embassies in order to continue their “provisional” shenanagans. It was like watching a coup attempt staged by Mel Brooks.
