Death and Destruction

 This is what Donald Trump has called for if he (and it's really when he) is indicted.

What kind of an idiot would think this man has any integrity, class, honesty or ability to be president of the United States.

Are you that idiot?

If so, well, what can I say?  There is something intrinsically wrong with a person who, when given facts and evidence, continues to believe in nonsensical bullshit.  

As one conservative writer put it ...... If you still are following Donald Trump, you bascially are devoid of morals and are a bad citizen.

Amen to that.

SuperBowl Sunday

 Unless one of my teams (Green Bay, New Orleans or Cincinnati) is playing in the SuperBowl, it's a big HO-HUM day for me.  Nevertheless, as a virtuallly talentless gambler, I am in on one cash bet and one pool (with great numbers - maybe my luck will change?).

As America's most closely revered sport closes out its season, I am pretty noncommittal about the whole thing.  I don't even care about the commercials, although some are exraordinarily creative and funny.

I think I'll spend the day reading the NY Times and skip even the Barkus parade because it's chilly.  I'll make a nice dinner and watch some TV (like Poker Face and French Connection II).  I may finish the Stephen King book I started two weeks ago.  I may work on my own short story.  

I have always failed the frenzied fervor Americans get at the end of football season.  Good day to stay home as the drunks leaving the bars when the big game is over will still insist they are fine to drive.  This is the surest way to spot an avid football fan.  As their brain shrinks from intoxication, their confidence grows with bravado, especially if their team won.

Yeah SuperBowl Sunday, is really not worth the hype it gets.  The game being played in Arizona is just another ho-hum, since Arizona is appalling these days.  Who the blank grows alfalfa in the middle of the desert with no water source?  This would only seem like a good idea to an Arizonian.  Infer what you will from that statement.

My money's on the Eagles.  

Feeling Unwell in Amerika

 The past few weeks have shown us, in alarming detail, just what we can expect from the House of Clowns - er - Representatives with the Republicans in charge.

Kevin McCarthy selling spots on choice committees to get the votes (after 15 tries) needed to secure the speaker spot.  Oh McCarthy, you're no speaker, you're a carnival barker.  History will have a field day with Kevin McCarthy - possibly the most ineffective politician ever to hold public office.  

Marjorie Taylor Green sitting on Homeland Security?  Please get me an airplane sick bag.  This horror of a supposed woman shouldn't sit on anything but a toilet until all the crap she's full of is excreted.  

Expelling long standing committee members like Eric Sewall and Adam Schiff is such a playground tactic.  It's time McCarthy realizes that America isn't a kindergarten and sooner or later, the bully is going to kick his smug a$$.

Yes, all of us who know what democracy is and how fragile it has become are not feeling well with the republicans in charge of anything.

On a lighter note - I just read that diners at Mar-a-Laughable have to stand and applaud if Donald Trump enters the room.  Well, this is what a malignant narcissist would need - especially after the majority of people in this country gave him the middle finger salute during the 2020 election.  I propose we gather up all the gassy people in our families (you know who you are), ship them to Florida as dinner guests and have the entire room filled with flatulence noises and stink to truly honor the Donald.

How it Tastes When You Eat a Plate of Your Own Crap

 Don't know about you, but a political party (Republicans) who cannot put aside their dysfunctional infighting long enough to elect a speaker of the house, doesn't deserve to govern anything.

These morons are an exact example of what believing in and supporting an utter idiot like Donald Trump will get you in the end.

Republicans are a joke.  Their party is a joke.  Time for that party to get kicked to the curb in favor of a Progressive Party.

Best Christmas Gift Ever

 Donald Trump needs to be arrested, indicted, tried and jailed.  They will probably arrest, indict, try and imprison on seditious conspiracy charges - - but the real truth is that Donald J. Trump is a traitor and has committed treason.  The records recovered at Mar-a-Lago prove this.  The records we are not yet aware of  that are missing are also evidence of treason.

How did a messed up, idiot of a man like Donald Trump ever get elected in the first place?

This is America.  Uneducated.  Violent.  Stupid.  Rubes just waiting for a con. 

Pollsters and Pundits

 I truly find the news media outlets to be supremely annoying in election years.  If they're not spelling doom for the democrats, they're spelling doom for the republicans.  It varies day to day, and it's all based on sample polling, which has an awful lot of room for error.

The media in this country needs to stop being so full of themselves that every irrelevant opinion they form makes its way to national coverage.  If its comfusing to me, it is really confusing to people with less experience than me in understanding that some news has become entertainment driven.

This election is important.  And unless you have an IQ of less than 65 points, I think all of us understand how important it is.  The right wants to push their religious based autocratic agenda.  The left is thinking about what's best for everyone here, and not worrying about tax increases. 

Speaking of tax increases, why do millionaires and billionaires want to hang on to all that money?  They can't possibly spend it in a lifetime.  I wish they'd shut up and just pay their fare share instead of buying media outlets and politicans to help them avoid taxes.  If only they'd spend a little of all that money they spend on buying a nation unfit for anyone but themselves to live in, on humanitarian issues. What a utopian society we would have.  But they're all for dystopia.

There is a thing called too much information.  It's sort of like being on a first date and explaining you want six children to make up for the abortions you've had in the past.  Some things are just better left unsaid, unless asked.  I feel this way about CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, VICE and numerous other outlets all pushing for media ratings, not truth.  Shut up.  Present the facts and let the people decide.  Leave your countless opinions out of it.  (Disclaimer - everyone knows Fox is incapable of presenting anything more than right wing propaganda that never comes close to factual truth).

So I've turned off the news.  I've voted early and blue.  I am going out on Tuesday night, having several cocktails and not paying attention to the exit poll interviews, the predictions or the doomsday sayers.  What will be is something I will have to find out Wednesday morning. (Not withstanding the bull$hit that's happened in other elections).

As long as I'm on my soapbox, can we all agree that Arizona is one of the most disgustingly insane  places on Earth?

Hoping for a Blue Tsunami!

Trump's Game Plan

 The only reason the orange doufass hasn't announched his 2024 run for the presidency is the simple truth that he gets to keep all the money idiots keep sending him, to do with what he wants.  Once he announces his candidacy, all that money goes into a campaign fund, complete with campaign finance rules.  So if you are one of the people sending him money, what a sap/rube you are!  Just another example of a fool and his/her money quickly parting ways.

I have watched this mental cripple dance around laws and decency for many years.  I have always found him repulsive and stupid.  I don't know how he managed to get elected to a first term as president, but I certainly will do everything in my power to prevent him from ever getting near that office again.  It's not merely that I detest the man and the hatred he always brings to whatever he does, it's that this democracy simply cannot survive another round of Trump.

But in a way, I hope he does run.  It will bring out every apathetic voter in the land, people who are now well aware of the fact that not voting gets them into dangerous waters.  I don't think he could win the nomination from the GOP, much less the presidency, but sadly I was totally wrong about that in 2016.  Now I am a bit more educated about how many uneducated voters there actually are in America.

Been watching NetFlix's "The Handmaid's Tale" for several seasons now.  I think Margaret Atwood got some things very right.  We can't survive in a capitalist/consumer driven model.  We must change.  In Margaret Atwood's nightmare, the religious right takes over and it's chaos for people like me, who don't believe in religion.  In my dream, we need to have socialized medicine, especially for people with mental illness.  We ALL have to pay our FAIR share of taxes and stop complaining about it.  We have to have a global perspective rather than an isolated superpower view.  And we have to find a different way to do government, because the way it is done now just shines its dysfunction everywhere.  I propose term limits.  I propose campaign finance reform.  I propose no business interfering with governing bodies on any level.  

But mostly I propose that we stop giving Donald Trump any credibility as a human being of any value.  He simply is a disgusting has-been and an avaricious wanna-be.
