“I think Viagra is wonderful if you need it, if you have medical issues, if you’ve had surgery. I’ve just never needed it. Frankly, I wouldn’t mind if there were an anti-Viagra, something with the opposite effect. I’m not bragging. I’m just lucky. I don’t need it.”—Donald John Trump, Playboy, October 2004
Right now, you’re probably asking yourself, “What does Jack think would likely happen if a shooting war broke out between Democrats and Republicans?”
Well, I’m glad you asked.
First of all you already know that such a war is inevitable, thanks to Mr. Trump’s stirring of the political pot. If it doesn’t happen Tuesday, it will likely flare up over the weekend, flashing angry flames of Rep-red and Dem-blue.
Leading up to this war, the Supreme Court, with three Trump-appointed judges, has ruled that women are not capable of deciding if they need an abortion, but have a government capable of deciding for them before demanding that they faithfully send in their taxes. Clarence “Uncle” Thomas even went so far as to say we need to revisit the old perfect Constitution before all these new-fangled rulings were added, which, presumably, means he wants to bring back slavery, as that would be a strict, conservative interpretation of the pre-13th Amendment version.
All of this has been a knife at the throat of Democrats, who are whispering that they must do something about it, short of ending the filibuster or upsetting Republicans enough to ruffle bipartisan feathers. This, they will not do.
The war will start when Attorney General Merrick Garland indicts one Donald J. Trump, esq., on charges that he attempted to overthrow the US government after being refused certain intimacies with one Stormy Daniels (but we won’t go into the Donald’s fetishes, this being a family publication that doesn’t discuss prostitutes peeing on him in a Moscow hotel and the like, including trysts with Playboy’s Playmate of the Year).
Outraged at the thought of their Supreme Lord being on trial, a host of MAGA followers, having stockpiled weapons for decades in the name of god and the NRA, immediately slaughter pockets of Democrats in Red States. This angers Democrats so much that they propose a law censuring those members of Congress involved in the said mass-murder of Dems. The measure, however, does not pass because Senator Joe Manchin thinks it may go against bipartisanship and be offensive to his friends on the other side of the aisle, failing 49-51 in the Senate.
Before long, Republicans expand their MAGA armies and invade the Blue States, murdering men, women and children for being Democrat, for wearing any shade of blue, or particularly for not being “pro-life,” citing the Bible and Second Amendment as their authority (neither of which they have read).
This time President Biden asks for a vote on Second Amendment rights, hoping to convince Republicans that gunning down innocent citizens should go against the amendment’s purpose. Democrats cross their fingers, however….
Republicans misunderstand Uncle Joe’s instructions and present a bill proposing that uninformed people should not be slaughtered, but that if a shooter says, “In the name of the Second Amendment I hereby shoot you,” that murder may be Constitutional, because the one who’s shot has been duly informed. Republicans get ten Senate Democrats to agree with them in the interest of bipartisanship, and the bill passes, after which the ten Democrats are unceremoniously gunned down for not being sufficiently pro-life.
Opposing the 2020 election of Biden, Republicans then call for a do-over vote, dumping the Constitution except for the Second Amendment, and, with tens of millions of Democrats not voting (because they are mostly dead or dying from bullet wounds) Trump is elected “President for Life,” along with a 2/3rds Republican majority in both houses of Congress.
Bills are passed to make FOX News the only channel allowed on television, to condemn with the death penalty those who oppose the pro-life movement, and make Stormy Daniels do whatever President Trump wants her to do, in an orgy with the usual fundamentalist Christian Leaders. Democrats are helpless as Republicans now have the 60-vote margin in the Senate to prevent a filibuster.
But the Democrats do not give in so easy, as lifelong Dems will tell you (endlessly bending your ear). After months of planning, they stage a peaceful demonstration in Washington, thinking this will sway the masses over to their side. The Supreme Court, however, rules 6-3 that onlookers have a constitutional right to shoot those marching, under the new Constitution (which they have not read), attracting millions wearing MAGA hats and carrying assault rifles with humongous ammo clips.
All appears to be lost for the Dems, but in a last-ditch effort, they recruit the one person who can put the old “democracy” back together—you guessed it, Stormy Daniels herself.
Stormy is enlisted to go to the Oval Office, seduce the President for Life into resigning and transferring his titles to her. With this act, things are taken back to the way they were in the old USA (calling it “democracy,” corporations will be put back in charge of everything on behalf of the old ruling class as they stuff congressional pockets to the max).
The part that’s hardest to understand is the cheering from the masses, believing as they do that this is the most for which one may ask, this cold and stale bowl of porridge.
