A Bomb Blows Up Christmas

Residents of Nashville, Tennessee were greeted with a fiery message early Christmas morning — a very large bomb disintegrated an RV that had been driven to the spot in a downtown tourist section. Fronted by old buildings and popular restaurants, blown-out windows were blown and structural damage was reported over many blocks in the city center.

Police were summoned to the area after someone called 911 reporting gunshots. While there was no sign of gunshots, what found instead was an RV playing music, and warning of an explosion. A countdown could be heard and as it wound down to zero, the bomb exploded. The police, fortunately, had ample time to clear out any people in harm’s way — thank God.

The terrorist, by calling in and making an audible countdown, gave people in the area a Christmas gift: life. So kind of him, right? A real swell fellow and someone who should be given a pat on his back, just before being put into a hole for the rest of his living days. While the police know very little about this guy, I am ready to tell them who they should be looking for — the chances I am wrong in my description of the bomber are about 20%.

He is a white guy and probably had a beard before the explosion but now is beardless; known on social media for being vehemently against Democrats and minorities, the bomber is a real intense person, and no fun at parties. Always going off about wild conspiracy theories and quoting Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones, he is in his glory in this post-election surreal moment . It is likely he stopped watching Fox News because it is too liberal. Newsmax and OOAN are the preferred propaganda choices.

Our America-hating terrorist loves Donald Trump and this bombing was probably in response to the deposed dictator wannabe’s attempts to overturn America’s election. The election was declared the most secure in our history and you know what — I don’t doubt that. I won’t even for a second listen to the comments, that even some Democrats make, trying to find common cause with foxified Americans, well, you know there is always some voter fraud but not on the level that Trump is saying.

No there isn’t. There is not voter fraud — just like climate change is not a Chinese conspiracy to wreck the US economy.

Out of nearly 160 million votes cast, there have been maybe 1000 suspect ones. That makes the fraud statistically non-existent. One case of fraud the star-studded Trump legal team used in Pennsylvania showed how a guy voted for his dead mother — and who did he vote for? Yep, the Donald was the lucky recipient of this upstanding citizen’s civic overzealous.

Donald Trump has called on his supporters to be ready. January 6th promises to be a wild one in DC and the recently-pardoned General Flynn has been calling for imposition of martial law in order to redo a legally-done election. The fellow we see in the picture above was practicing his techniques — maybe he will strike again on January 6th when the extremely ceremonial ceremony, the counting of the electoral votes, yet again confirms the election of Joe Biden.

Maybe he will wait like scores of others and they will strike at America from now and forever going forward. These terrorists, the guys who used to sing in church choirs, went to proms, played little league and bagged groceries, are patriots, though. The are devotees of hate, violence and their cause is unwaning. The crave dictatorship. They crave a theocratic state that glorifies Donald Trump, for example, and makes anyone not Christian, not gunned-up, not aligned with their politics of stupidity — everything Fox News reports—the enemy.

The Traitors

The bomber is a terrorist but worse than that he is a traitor. He has committed treason. The people choosing dictatorship as America’s new normal should not be treated the way the southerners were after the Civil War — the collective slap on the wrist whose sting wore off by 1878 when the great compromise was made.

The bomber and anyone inciting rebellion must be punished with the full force of America’s law enforcement powers. In order to combat these forces of evil, the NSA and all intelligence gathering resources, normally used to protect America from foreign enemies, need to be redirected against the perpetrators of these acts of sedition. General Flynn should be called back to active duty, court martialed and arrested. He is part of an active reserve as a retired officer and cannot say the things he has been saying.

As for those fascists who will try to hide behind First Amendment freedoms, sure, express yourself as civilians and in social media as you like; but anyone holding a federal license from the FCC should be brought up charges of sedition — let them prove to us they aren’t fomenting revolution with the lies they have been spewing for the past two decades — and since Donald Trump’s resounding defeat on November 3rd.

2020 has been a deadly year filled to the gills with stupidity and fascism. The number of “firsts,” sadly, has been the kinds we surely could have done without; it’s not like we have been walking on the moon, or something, but instead we are seeing over 3000 Americans die each day as a result of Covid-19.

And yet, there is a sense that we are afloat, weightless, as we wait for the next move from a completely unhinged Donald Trump; as we wait for the next act of violence from his supporters. It’s sad, really. I used to joke that each day with Trump was like an episode of Stranger Things — but surely not even Netflix would pick up such lunacy.

There is one thing that will help the FBI narrow down its search for the traitor who struck on Christmas morning, 2020: His face will be fully visible in all security cameras because he will definitely be mask-less — one of those selfish jerks.

We cannot forgive treason and we must fight stupidity. We must not give into the desire to whatabout everything when right-wingers try to link Democrat past transgressions with the behavior of the GOP today. The right is already whining about a corrupt Biden but not a whisper about Trumpisms. We must treat the Trump traitors the way we did the foreign terrorists who attacked our precious nation on 9/11.

Christmas is supposed to merry and not explosive and we can all thanks spoiled, sick little Donnie for this state of affairs.
