Ugh. This ugly episode really says it all. The Great Divide, once again laid bare.

When they aren't protected by every system the US government can lavish on them, all the john Wayne wannabe tough guys will show their exact colors..Just like the fraud and draft dodger Wayne, cowards, with more firepower than they know what to do with. They've shown they have no fortitude without the state to prop them up, and all their movie- like fantasy will crumble in an instant in the face of violence. Kyle lucked out incredibly when he fell, firing wildly without taking fire from anyone, but they won't all be as fortunate.

Outstanding summation, sublime even. Don't be so hard on Marion.

A tough guy named "Marion." Gawd ain't this the "greatest country on earth!"

I read your piece about Kyle Rittenhouse not only getting away with murder but PROFITING from it, then I watch as Donald Trump's gag orders (multiple!) are "examined" by appeals courts while he freely spews his hate-filled Nazi bile, and all I can think of is "TRUMP/RITTENHOUSE 2024—NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY!"

Great Merciful Goddess.

...yeah.

Though I think Rittenhouse is more like a rat than a rabbit.

Where's Elmer Fudd when you need him?
