All Of Washington, DC Is A Stage

Act One: Election stolen in obvious and blatant fashion. Multiple reports circulate about suitcases of ballots, computer switching and poll watchers banned.

Act Two: Hopes are raised and dashed, as courts refuse to hear cases and electors refuse to respond to the fraud evidence.

Act Three: Some Congress members announce that they will contest the election on January 6th, and Trump supporters flock to Washington, DC to show their support

Act Four: Citizens gather on the Capitol steps waving flags and milling around, as Senators start to debate the facts, aired live on C-Span.

Act Five: Capitol Police, unused to crowd control, allow 3 layers of "security" to be breached and let a crowd of citizens into the Capital.

Breathless news readers tell us that the Congressional debate has been cancelled for security reasons, as armed mobs breach the sacred grounds and storm the building. They interview various goombas in charge, who tell us "We never anticipated anything like this!" and "This is an attempted coup!"

A single shot kills a beautiful protester in the rotunda. (Shades of Neda Agha-Soltan) A single Capitol policeman retreats as the crowd follows him, and he leads them to the chamber.

Act Six: Most of Congress had already evacuated, but a few stage a photo op, with some of them cowering on the floor and others checking their phones. Breathless news readers tell us that they are in great danger from the armed mobs! But they all escape successfully and no Congress member was harmed in the making of the film.

Act Seven: Violent Americans roam around Congress, taking selfies of themselves sitting in various chairs. An actor from Arizona, distinctively dressed, yells loudly about Q.

Act Eight: They are asked to leave by Capitol police and do.

Act Nine: The Capitol police suddenly remember how to do crowd control at dusk, and quickly clear the Capitol steps.

Act Ten: Congress returns and rubber stamps Biden into the White House.

Act Ad Infinitum: News readers and pundits will pontificate for weeks about the violent coup attempt, no doubt using the words "white supremacists" and "right wing militias" in every sentence.

This Is Their Chance

This is their chance. They can now make up for their complete lack of interest in how covid got from China in January to a nursing home in Washington last February.

They are telling us that Patient Zero has been identified in Colorado. Okay, then. Get a crack team of ace reporters out there to grill the crack team of skilled investigators working on tracking down the contacts of this 20 year old man who has never been to England, but now has the Scary New Variant of covid.

How do they know? What test did they do to find out that he didn't have ordinary covid? Are they doing this test on everyone, or they just picked some random dude from Colorado to test? What are the differences in the virus that allows them to confidently assert that it is different from all the other virions?

Where did he get it? It shouldn't be that difficult for crack teams of highly skilled investigators to track down all his contacts to find out, since it's only one guy and he hasn't been anywhere but Colorado. Right? How are we going to stop the spread if we subscribe to the spontaneous generation theory that they seem to be pushing, at least, up until now?

How do they know it's ''more contagious''? How are they so sure that the vaccine they just rolled out also works on this new variant?

Inquiring minds want to know.
