Surprise! It's October!
2022-09-06
[AmThinker via Lucianne] Start with one divisive presidential speech accusing 74 million voters of being enemies of the state. Add two Marine guards against a blood-red background for flavor. Whip up the base. Stir in a large pool of resentment and bring to a boil. Sprinkle in a large contingent of FBI operatives to mix with low-intellect stoned bloggers living in repair shop basements and calling for civil war.

Bake for a few weeks and allow resentment to rise. The FBI will supply the necessary heat and preparation to foment Insurrection 2.0. Frost the cake with the state-controlled news and social media reacting in horror and disgust at the evil, violent actions of MAGA Republicans.

This is the recipe for a Democrat October Surprise.

#8  Re #4: Why should Congress get involved? All Joe needs to do is issue an executive order.

#7  You know, it would be sadly funny if they try for another Jan. 6 and got a REAL insurrection. The sheer amount of panic would be hilarious but I really don't wish for that. Just a dark sense of humor.

#4  National Mediation Board ordered railroad management and the unions to DC for 7 Sep meeting to head off strike. Suspect Congress will have to pass don’t strike legislation; if that happens, expect a ‘work to rules’ events.
Looks like I picked a bad day to give up drinking.

#2  Sept 15 is the deadline for the RR strike

#1  Class I RRs could be on a nationwide strike in mid Sept.

Would likely only last a few days before Congress passed a back-to-work act of some kind but it would still be a September surprise.
