Peak Outrage 2020

News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:

 

WORLD—The UN Panel on Outrage Change has confirmed the worst: global levels of outrage may reach the point of no return in 2020.

Outrage levels previously reached dangerous highs during the Bush administration, but Obama was able to reverse the trend. He didn’t change much about the way Bush was handling things, but he was a Democrat, so outrage levels went back down as the press stopped reporting on scandals and corruption.

However, in 2016, global outrage reached record highs, especially among Democrats. Republicans had been mildly outraged during the Obama years but mostly had to go to work so didn’t have much time to spew toxic, harmful outrage into the environment. Libertarians have generated almost no outrage since they are high all the time. 

Experts believe the reelection of Trump in 2020 would be “catastrophic,” catapulting outrage levels well into the stratosphere.

“If we do not cut our anger emissions immediately, the world will be consumed by fiery outrage by the end of next year,” said outrage expert Dr. Hal Gourd, pointing to a hockey-stick graph. The audience responded by getting really mad, shaking their fists at the sky and making loud grunting noises.

“Now, now, let’s all calm down,” Gourd said, but this only angered the crowd further. Finally, Gourd began to freak out as more and more bricks were lobbed his direction. “OK, FINE, IT’S TIME TO PANIC! AHHHHHH!!!!” He jumped out a window to his waiting luxury jet and flew away.

Go here to read the rest.  Ah, sweet, sweet schadenfreude:

“I like solar power, electric cars, have a wood pellet stove for heat, have a large green vegetable garden, raise backyard chickens that consume food scraps so they don’t go into the trash that turn into eggs, and home-brew beer into kegs which saves In transportation costs and container recycling…. “
by the time I go through this green litany people are saying oh you’re doing your best to prevent global warming,, at which time I say “Oh global warming is a bunch of leftist crap, I just like those things and the idea of leave no trace.”
Outrage defused.

David WS, you and I just don’t understand the possibilities! Wind powered dump trucks to remove the fecal matter being discharged:

Recent poll majority would rather be drowned in a massive tsunami than listen to more hysterics from climate alarmists.

They can leave as is the Electoral College.

The Dems can win elections by closing the polls before Trump voters get off work.

Don’t give them any ideas.

Right now, I think the plan is to rely on the illegal vote in deep blue states to deny Trump the popular vote. That way, they can pretend he’s illegitimate for another 4 years.

LQC, lol, as you and I both know “in engineering there’s no such thing as a free lunch..”

Here’s an interesting thing about solar power: there’s no inertia in sunpower/inverters!
-Megawatts can be lost or gained in a fraction of a second with intermittent cloud cover. Frightening, if one understands system stability needs and Nyquist plots.
(AOC’s eyes would glaze over at the mention of “inertia”, never mind system stability. God help us, the inmates are running the asylum, or want to-)

The outrage meter or pointer could be shifting to the center -right. The kind of people who don’t usually get too worked up.
Too many last straws -we are sick and tired of being jerked around in our government, our church our schools, our personal lives, sick of incremental outrages against us, against our good faith our trust . Sick. And tired, of tolerating unto compliance.

Trump, with his strategy of targeted alienation, is driving the Left completely mad. So blind they are with rage that they will encourage even, more or less normal, Democrats to vote for him.

Global Outrage increases CO2’s which in turn, according to the freak patrol, damages the planet….[that old Global warming Climate change Save the Earth buggery tripe that’s been shoved down our throats.]

In order to decrease the CO2’s that will be pouring out of cry babies in pantsuits, the UN has designed a muzzle for all offenders.
These will be distributed at polling sites to democratic voters. In keeping with the Green theme, they will be instructed to wear the muzzle well into October of 2024.
Any comrades that disobey this directive will be subjected to environmental sensitivity workshops.

The muzzles are being manufactured by Al Gore holdings LLC.

Remember! Inconvenient truths lead to convenient profits.
