The Electronic Committee of Public Safety; Democrats may want to bring back the guillotine

*"To “feed” a mob, witch-hunts are essential. New enemies
must be in constant supply to keep the mob moving.
" . . . witch-hunts never end well for the witch-hunters."

Victor Davis Hanson

Modern-day Robespierres send counterrevolutionaries to the virtual chopping block. They should recall his fate.*

"Celebrities, politicians, and almost anyone of influence and wealth are always an incorrect or insensitive word away from the contemporary electronic guillotine. Regardless of the circumstances of their dilemmas, the beheaded rarely win sympathy from the mob. Coliseum-like roars of approval greet their abrupt change of fortune from their past exalted status.
"So, for example, perhaps few feel sorry for anchor Megyn Kelly, recently all but fired by NBC and now walking away with most of her $69 million salary package as a severance payout. 
"Kelly was let go ostensibly for making a sloppy but not malicious morally equivalent comparison between whites at Halloween dressing up in costumes as blacks, and blacks likewise appearing as whites. But she sealed her fate by uttering the historically disparaging word “black face” as some sort of neutral bookend to her use of “white face.” Her fatal crime, then, was insensitive thought and speech and historical ignorance. 
"For someone so familiar with the rules of our electronic French Revolution and the felonies of speech and thought, Kelly proved surprisingly naïve in a variety of ways. 
"First, she should have known that there are revolutionary canons surrounding victimization indemnities. And for all her success, she is actually protected by few of them, given that she is fabulously well paid, attractive, still young, white — and at one time conservative and a former Fox News anchor person.
"So when Kelly said something historically dense and insensitive, she should have grasped that she, despite being an emancipated coastal female, was immediately (and ratings-wise) expendable, even if expensively expendable." .  .  .

Trump is making Streisand fat again  "Rush Limbaugh loves to say that President Trump lives in the heads of liberals rent free. While that is true, I often wonder what our president does for fun in there."

Streisand said, "I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country. It’s making me fat. I hear what [President Trump] said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening. We make them with healthy flour, though — almond flour, coconut flour."

"Ah, nothing quite says wealthy, independent woman quite like blaming a man because you are packing on the pounds. . . .

[Lena] Dunham said, "Donald Trump became president and I stopped being able to eat food. Everyone's been asking like, 'What have you been doing?'' And I'm like, 'Try soul-crushing pain and devastation and hopelessness and you, too, will lose weight.'"
