Make Up Your Mind

 “Did you ever have to make up your mind?

Pick up on one and leave the other one behind
It's not often easy, and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind?” (Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind/John Sebastian)

 

Teddy Cruz hates Texas but loves the spotlight, high life the grift and greed of pretending his shit don’t stink, and will throw his entire family under the bus for fame and fortune. Moscow Mitch McConnell, despises America, the Constitution, has no problem talking out of his ass and mouth at the same time, and for SHEER power will do whatever it takes to fuck up hundreds of millions of Americans' lives and well-being. The majority of GOP Politicians local/state or federal act all flummoxed as to being the Police Departments Best Friend, but when it is time to beat up or murder a few Capitol Hill  Cops, somehow the Thin Blue Line is an imaginary hoax, created by Leftists! Ronnie Johnson loves himself CONSPIRACY more than he does Democracy, he is more than willing to expand upon QAnon/Newsmax/even the shysters at FOX and embellish bull shit making IT seem like a fragrance of dozens of bouquets of roses. Little Ms. Lindsey is SCARED of lots of things, like crowds of people calling her out for, trying to find a backbone, so Little Ms. Lindsey cowers with a lack of conscience and coalesces with sociopaths demanding that no matter how bad Trump may seem, HE is actually the good news American NEED!

 

“Did you ever have to finally decide?
Say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes, and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide?”

 

Junior Trump and his (you think she is snorting white powder) ghoul friend Kimberly Guilfoyle think that the ENTIRE world is a bunch of dumb ass fools, who still believe the earth is flat, the sun rotates around the Earth, and that if you SHOUT LOUD ENOUGH, LIE LONG ENOUGH, AND DENY LONG ENOUGH, you never need truth or honor, or facts to prove your point. Eric the dumbest of the duo Dumb and Dumber, now tells us that Trump has saved Christianity and knows so because, so many Evangelicals have stopped praying to Jesus, and have instead made Donnie The Father The Son, and the Holy Ghost. Princess Ivanka and her Prince Jared, have tried to hide out in a multimillion cave, thinking that silence is golden, but forgetting that the rest of America has a long memory of their grifting, greed, gluttony, and bestie’s friendship with another Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, whose hands make the blood of Macbeth seem like red food coloring dye.

 

And yet, a large, too large for a person of normal values and morals, are still trying to decide right from wrong, good from bad!

 

the Obvious

 From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English state the obvious to say something that is already obvious so it is not necessary to say it. Manifest Destiny: “obvious fate”

 

I waited a bit, much longer than my usual, “hissy fit” reaction to events which have occurred, and for which my expectation of such, is not of surprise, but of total frustration…in which to write my daily blog. I thought what exactly will discussing the OBVIOUS, truly accomplish…what will reacting to ACTIONS out of my realm of control get me…how can I CHANGE, any of this behavior, which even the most irradiate of scholars might spend days on end debating, and still not find logic or rhyme or reason! I waited as a PLETHORA of “what the fuck’s erupted as might aftershocks from a Ten on the Richter Scale for Earthquakes. But as I waited more and MORE what the fucks’s began spreading like measles, or Republicans in a Super Spreader Event, sans masks, social distancing, and common sense.

 

So here I share the OBVIOUS, and will wonder aloud, via my BLOG, hoping that whoever reads it might SIGH loud and long enough that a collection of that sound could or would or might make some more sense?

 

I never understand, when a government agency creates a Website (in particular The State of Massachusetts COVID -19 Vaccination site), for the first two weeks (at least) it crashes, and the retort is that the Government Agency had no idea of the kind of traffic it would have to permit…but at the same time, NASA sends a Rover to Mars and corrects any malfunction with ease and less time! Eric Trump informs Americans that Donald Trump may have saved Christianity, and how glad Christians should be-even as crimes of INSURRECTION/Tax Fraud/Treason/Extra Marital Affairs/Under Age Sex are now on public display…but the American Evangelical’s are only stuck on criticizing, Pro-Life/ Pro Transgender/Pro-Gay Rights Anti-Discrimination Democrats. Why  SUPER SPREADER Event called the C-PAC, is permitted to continue providing its LARGE CROWD of attendees to cough, spit, laugh, touch, and maybe even droll all over each other…but NOT face any quarantine restrictions from the communities they will return, and in turn, take up more precious First Responder and Hospital time and space. Just a short list, because I understand what with COVID Cabin Fever, many people stop reacting when information seems to drone on and on!

 

“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.”-Arthur Conan Doyle…“In the end, it’s not the obviousness or the complexity of the matters that are deluding mankind. It’s man himself.” ― Pawan Mishra…“Sometimes the most difficult thing is to be able to see the most obvious thing!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan

 

 

 

 

Sick, Sick, Sick

 Protecting a plethora of PARASITES, pretending that they had NEVER intended to hang Mike Pence, or lynch Nancy Pelosi; Republican Senators, ALL cowering in plain sight…AFTER, hiding for their lives…pleading for protection ARE now pretending that the same INSURRECTIONISTS, armed with pipe bombs, plastic ties, sharpened American flag poles…IN Nazi-inspired insignia, shouting oaths offensive and murderous, calling for the demise of democracy, are good people, and, WELL, SHUCKS, ITS TIME TO MOVE ON!

 

Demanding that the self-claimed Domestic Terrorists, invoking some White Christian Nationalist God, as inspiration, maintaining a Militia of murderous thugs, are once again Good People, and should just be pardoned; the Republican’s in the Congress, want history to become null and void, just to avoid, a primary battle because to upset an INSURRECTIONIST, means one less vote for these spineless American Enemies of the State.

 

With even more evidence each and every day, spewing, like the ash of a volcano, precisely pinpointing the anarchy and attempted coup by Trump-inspired MAGA Minions, simmering and sizzling to actually BURN DOWN OUR DEMOCRACY…the more insistent becomes the GOP as complacent puppets preferring their political potential OVER the people and propriety of this nation. PATHETIC-PATRICIAN-POLITICIANS still in POWER…because to be PRIMARIED is more frightening than an attempt on their lives! SICK, SICK, SICK!

idiot

 The Georgia congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, put up the poster – which read “There are TWO genders: Male & Female. Trust The Science!” – after Rep. Marie Newman, whose daughter is transgender and whose office is opposite Greene’s, hung the LGBTQ flag on Wednesday following an impassioned debate on the Equality Act, which Greene tried to block. (The Guardian)

 

So, let me understand this, (of course I cannot nor will not actually understand this…nor will I EVER wish to debate this, OR will I ever consider the idea that Margorie (QAnon) Taylor Greene, has the capacity to debate this, rather than just make it a DEBACLE!  But, just to release the amount of blood pressure rising to my temples, and the sheer anger swelling up, as might the formative waves of a tsunami, I can pretend that common sense will win the day, even if that day is doomed and destroyed by a hyperbolic HYPOCRITE! 

 

TAYLOR GREENE is a sham, a shame, a sinister shyster, a snake oil coinsurer of dirt, disease, delusion, and dangerous hate. She is no more than the CONSPIRACY THEORIES, of treasonous, traitors, tantalized by creating an enemy, parsing THE we against THE them, and a loud-mouthed bag of hot hair, playing to the simpletons in need of anyone to make their miserable lives seem better than a cockroach roaming the garbage dumps of America. This INSURRECTIONIST is a moron, an unintelligent bigot, racist, and homophobe, pretending that HATE is a scientific fact and that when for her own bias, science is real. (REMEMBER SHE STILL CONSIDERS COVID A HOAX, AS WELL AS ANY SOCIAL DISTANCING AND MASK WEARING). Greene can accept that Trump can divorce three times/ have children out of wedlock, grab women by their private parts, indulge in sexual encounters with underaged females, BUT somehow transgendered humans are wrong. AND, this THING, still has a GOVERNMENT BULLY PULPIT FROM WHICH TO SPEW HER VENOM. 

 

 

The Pod People

 During the Senate hearing regarding the Trump promoted INSURRECTION on January 6, 2021, Senator Ron (I Am A Trump Anarchist, Turd Licking Enemy of the State) Johnson of Wisconsin (WHO, MIRACULOUSLY had been elected to become Senator with the same surprisingly close, totals as HAD Trump in 2016)…stated that in reality, the protestors murdering police officers, wrecking the Capitol, participating in a Coup…were none other than Democrats disguised as MAGA/Proud Boys/Oath Keepers!

 

Yes, sir-eee, and a few OMG’s Ronnie Johnson said, “An organized cell of agents-provocateurs corral(ed) people as an unwitting follow-on force behind the plainclothes militants tussling with police,” Johnson, who previously said the attack “didn’t seem like an armed insurrection,” read from an uncorroborated account of the riot that included claims that “fake Trump supporters” and provocateurs helped stir the violence. (Wisconsin State Journal)

 

So, maybe he was referring to me, or my family, or my friends. Maybe I WAS there because if a CONSPIRACY LOVING THUG, LACKING ANY FACTS SAYS IT WAS SO, I GUESS IT WAS SO! This THING is sitting on the committee to help Americans and the Senate (A Big Laugh for that so-called Body of Power) sift through the fancy for the facts, the fiction for the truth, ONLY to ONCE again confuse the already Good Nazi Lovers/The South Is Rising Again/Evangelical Christian Nationalists/FOX Anarchist Viewers and keep their STUPID flowing like a flooded MISSISSIPPI River! So, the Democrats became POD PEOPLE, took over the identity of the MAGA’s. Sounds reasonable, I mean look at the majority of the MAGA, most are just empty vessels of bias, bigotry, and bogus!

 

 

 

 

PERSEVERANCE

 Mission Name: Mars 2020

Rover Name: Perseverance

Main Job: Seeks signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock and regolith (broken rock and soil) for possible return to Earth

Launch: July 30, 2020

Landing: February 18, 2021, Jerezo Crater Mars (NASA)

 

All of the above…All happened…Far, far away, Details, Decisions, Directives, and NO DERELICTION IN DUTY.

 

And while ALL of that took place at approximately 132.21 million miles away, as The Mars Rover, PERSEVERANCE was landing, the Republicans living in the city of Austin, the Capitol of Texas, on our planet called Earth, had no idea no sense of duty, no direction, rather A dereliction of duty, no details nor definite answers has to how, FIRST to keep the lights on in the Banana Republic of Texas, and SECONDLY, how to keep water safely flowing throughout the pipes and taps of the citizens of this Banana Republic. For many living in Texas, they had never quite considered their NO OVERSIGHT/NO REGULATIONS/DOMESTIC DONOR TERRORIST PAID POLITICIANS/GERRYMANDERED TO THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY, a really third world country, and for the most part had been fed CONSPIRATORY FALSEHOODS, as a part of a “Don’t Mess With Texas,” FOX Extravaganza Evangelical White Christian Nationalism Mantra; inhaling lies as if it, combined with the odorous and ominous pollution of fossil-based sludge, was NORMAL.

 

And now, almost a week later, PERSEVERANCE, 132.21 million miles away, has been more productive and fruitful than the Governor/Lt. Governor two Republican Senators and the overwhelming Republican Majority called the Texas State Legislature. Hey Ya ’all, WTF!

ACCOUNTABILITY

 In ethics and governance, accountability is answerability, blameworthiness, liability, and the expectation of account-giving. As in an aspect of governance, it has been central to discussions related to problems in the public sector, nonprofit and private and individual contexts. (Wikipedia)

 

Webster's Dictionary defines “accountability” as “the quality or state of being accountable; an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for one's actions.” Accountability doesn't mean punishment. Accountability is a willingness to accept responsibility for our own actions.

 

Over 500,000 Americans have died of COVID. That IS over half a million individuals. All it takes is ONE person. One person you may have called father, mother, sister, brother, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, niece, nephew, best friend, neighbor, nurse, doctor, First Responder, OR one more name read from the Obituaries! All it would have taken was for those who had the responsibility to HAVE made an effort to care, to demonstrate empathy, sympathy, concern, intelligence, with morals and values. INSTEAD, those Pre-Mediated Murderers played POLITICS, PARTISIANSHIP, and placed their PERSONAL Agenda above all else!

 

I want Donald Trump/Mike Pence/ Alex Azar/Deborah Birx and the MYRIAD of the minions who decided to KISS THEIR ASSES, by kowtowing, acting the contrarian toward the science and medicine, soothing the temperament of Trump rather than the health and welfare of Americans, to be fucking HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

 

Genocide: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group. I want a COVID GENOCIDE COMMISION established, NOW. I am accusing Trump and his radical domestic terrorists of knowingly committing a form of genocide against the citizens of this nation. Over 500,000 dead people as of February 22, 2021, and all we are supposed to do is look for the light at the end of the tunnel. All I see, IS the gloom and gore, of the monsters who built that tunnel in the first place!

 

 

 

JEOPARDY

  

 

As Johnny Gilbert, the 96-year-old "Jeopardy!" announcer, says: “it’s time to play Jeopardy!”

 

ANSWER: Deregulation is the process of removing or reducing state regulations, typically in the economic sphere. It is the repeal of governmental regulation of the economy.

QUESTION: What are the consequences for thinking your state is ABOVE the fray and fractures of any kind of government, actually governing and working FOR you, the CITIZEN. What is the downside, of pretending going rogue actually means YOU the citizen are more important than a corporation, and it's BOTTOM LINE? What is TEXAS?

 

ANSWER: The United States anti-abortion movement contains elements opposing induced abortion on both moral and religious grounds and supports its legal prohibition or restriction. Advocates generally argue that human life begins at conception and that the human zygote is a person and therefore has a right to life.

QUESTION: Who is the one person, pretending all life matters, except if those lives belong to Congress People, Capitol Police, Staffer’s for Congress, Reporters. Who is the one person lamenting that his God relishes life beginning at the moment of conception, except for the lives of those outside of the womb, who have been discounted for political reasons, due to that pesky and bothersome thingie called COVID; which must have been a planned attack on his administration's denial of science and medicine. And who has a new cushy job at one of the most anti-choice hate-filled organizations, The Heritage Foundation. Who is MIKE PENCE?

 

ANSWER: Vichy France is the common name of the French State headed by Marshal Philippe Pétain during World War II. It was an independent ally of Nazi Germany until late 1942 when Berlin took full control.

QUESTION: Where are the Ass-Licking Republican, Insurrectionists, Sedition Loving, Domestic Terrorists, like Little Lindsey(please keep my closet door shut, there might be a draft if it is opened) Graham, Kevin (please pick me, like me) McCarthy, Marjory (Traitor) Greene and Ronna (I will gladly remove my maiden name of Romney for the Orange Turd if you permit me to pretend and run the RNC) McDaniel headed toward? What is Mar-A-Lago?

 

 

 

 

 

Vile/Evil

  

“Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.” ― Criss Jami

 

With the arrival of the 21^st Century, avoiding the End Times of  Y-2K, the various and sundry Cultist Religious Dooms Day Scenarios, the Mayan Calendar Warnings, the sheer arrogance and ignorance of Capitalists who somehow think making LOTS of money now, will buffer the consequences of Climate Change, THEN, and of course, the American Fascist Experiment (which still is flooding our democracy)…lots of BAD GUYS and GALS have made their entrance to both the world stage and our own DOMESTIC THEATER. NOT having formed a hard enough shell to fend off these saboteurs robbing me of my sanity, NOT having found the fortitude to let these phantoms of impropriety just pass on by, AND not YET having found a way to ignore these ignorant and arrogant SOB’s, I still suffer the penalties of fools. And for me, one MAJOR FUCKED UP PHONY FEEBLE FERAL FOOL HAS BEEN AND REMAINS TED CRUZ!

 

For me, Teddy (call my wife ugly, insist my father works for Fidel, and now MY KIDS MADE ME DO IT) Cruz is the epitome of intended evil and the voracity of vile. Trump is a deranged individual, his spawn delusional, Lindsey is a scared puppet, tightly held in the hands of those who must have luminous loads of blackmail, Moscow Mitch wears a sign stating USE ME, and PAY ME, but Teddy Cruz, is a dangerous man who plays God, and actually thinks of himself as a deity…THUS so much more dangerous!

 

When Cruz arrived back in Texas after a day in Mexico, the senator acknowledged Thursday to the press that the trip “was obviously a mistake and in hindsight, I wouldn't have done it." He also has expressed regrets for criticizing California in the past for its power problems, as old statements of him railing against vacationing politicians have been flung back in his face…“You start with the fact that there are people ticked off by those who think they’re the VIPs at this school who don’t want to be bothered to follow the rules because it infringes on their social life. Then you’ve got people on top of that who don’t like Ted Cruz,” she said. “And then you have everyone irritated because they’re freezing to death and can't bathe and can’t eat and he’s going off to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun and lying about it.” (POLITICO)

 

“Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.” ― André Malraux

 

 

 

 

 

Missing Something?

 AM I MISSING SOMETHING…

…As authorities continue to pursue individuals who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol, a growing number of those charged are employing a new defense: blaming the police for letting them in… And while some accused rioters say they believed law enforcement allowed them to enter, others are saying they believed they were acting under direct orders from then-President Donald Trump, who told his supporters at the rally before the attack that they should "fight like hell" and that he would be joining them on their march to the Capitol. (ABC News)

 

NO, SERIOUSLY, AM I MISSING SOMETHING…

…"I had initially planned to stay through the weekend and to work remotely there, but as I -- as I was heading down there, you know, I started to have second thoughts almost immediately because the crisis here in Texas, you need to be here on the ground." (Ted Cruz)

 

I MEAN IT, SERIOUSLY, WHAT AM I MISSING…

Republican Rick Perry, a former Texas governor, and energy secretary suggested in a recent blog post that Texans should be more than willing to endure blackouts to keep the federal government from regulating the state’s power grid. (Huffington Post)

 

WAIT, I AM NOT MISSING ANYTHING…

What IS missing are decency/common sense/the ability to admit failure, foolishness/defeat, and indignities. What is missing are values/responsibility/maturity/intellect/empathy/a soul/sincerity and truth. What IT IS are a bunch of cowards, insincere, inept, arrogant, and avoiding ANY responsibility when owning up to RESPONSIBILITY might make them more human, instead of remaining a monster!

 

Just walk away, again

 “The issue with the grid has its roots in Texas' long-standing belief that it is an independent nation-state, operating entirely apart from the federal government's reach…” In moments of crisis -- and there are millions of Texans in crisis right now -- people look to politicians for comfort and reassurance. And they do it even if they know that no one particular politician has the ability to help them out of their current problems. They do it because, in theory, our elected officials are leaders in our community and, therefore, are responsible for bringing the community together in moments of tragedy or catastrophe. (Chris Cillizza/CNN)

 

One such Free Markets Rule, as long as HE receives LOTS of Kick Backs/Bribes/Domestic Donor Terrorist Money, is none other than one of the most loathsome losers in the Senate, Rafael Edward Cruz (TEDDY). THIS, Free Markets Rule, and FUCK the average citizen HYPOCRITE cares less if those pesky commoners have to suffer the consequences of permitting the Free Markets to become their own Judge and Jury, because the voters are dumb enough to ignore the facts, as long as they are expressed as a LIE. And TEDDY’s arrogance is so overstuffed with Helium, he thinks as long as he double talks, decides who the enemy is, and of course, LIES about the truth, he can float and fly like a hot air balloon.

 

Seems TEDDY once complained that the LIBERAL/SOCIALIST state of California was a rotted endless blackhole where kindness, progressiveness, and science were the bane of existence. NOW, that the CON which has been the lack of Republican leadership in Texas, has once again been proven nothing but a façade and oh yes, a CONSERVATIVE/ANARCHY, permitting its Red State population to literally turn blue from cold and snow…TEDDY is caught being a fool. So, what does HE do…something HE does best, first blames someone else, and THAN runs away from responsibility. This time, as most Texans, UNABLE to afford any vacation and just get out of the state, until winter is over, The Cruz Family lets the rest of the state “Just eat cake,” as he travels to warm sunny Cancun Mexico. Once again, TEDDY is demonstrating the same kind of backbone, as he did when Trump insulted Heidi Cruz (Mrs. Teddy and Rafael Cruz, Teddy’s father, by just walking away!

 

 

How Many

 Remember the old joke: “How many (fill in the derogatory demographic) does it take to screw in a light bulb?” Chuckle, laugh, another chuckle, and a slap on the side of the face… Well, I was pondering, (I haven’t pondered, for quite a while, as it seemed to ponder wasted too much time), but had been witnessing and watching, waiting and wishing for AT LEAST MORE, than a half dozen Republican Congress People to do the right thing, (NOT THE RIGHT-WING THING), and proclaim that We The People, are more of a PRIORITY THAN POLITICS (their personal politics) BUT, alas alack (Not even certain when it was the last time I said or wrote alas alack!)

 

NOT ONLY, have no other GOP goons on a Federal Level (And even worse on State and Local Levels) reprimanded the Ex-Insurrectionist and Chief (Or as PRESIDENT BIDEN commented that other guy) but, instead, THEY HAVE continued to support, praise, (and in the case of both Little Ms. Lindsey, and Lost a Few Marbles Ron Johnson, and the GOP Party Chief in PA, and the entire Arizona GOP Party Machine paid homage) So as I began this BLOG, and now that COVID is still a thing (Even though it is being approached scientifically and medically…so isolation and quarantine matter) I find time to PONDER…I thought…

 

“How many Republicans does it take to SCREW AMERICA?”

Picture This

 Sophia Petrillo is a character from the sitcom television series The Golden Girls, her very unique quote: Picture this. Sicily, 1922. The village is in a terrible wine crisis. It's the peak of the wine season. And all our grape stompers are ravaged by an outbreak of athlete's foot. Soon the Chianti has a green hue and tastes like Desenex. They call in Sicily's foremost podiatrist, Bruno Bonofiglio. He's the one who prescribed arch supports for Mussolini. The canned audience laugher regaled and The writers of the Golden Girls along with the actresses scored another funny episode, and life went on.

 

Picture this. Washington DC, 2021. The Capitol is in a terrible ISURRECTIONIST crisis. It’s the peak of Conspiracy season. All of our Congress People and the Vice President are ravaged by Democracy Stompers or are they Right-Wing Storm Troopers with an outbreak of Anarchy/Domestic Terrorism, and MAGA Fever? The foremost SEDITIONIST, HERR TRUMP, is ravaged with insanity, and sociopathic tendencies leading to Pre-Meditated Murder, and Marauding. No one calls in the FBI, the National Guard, or for that matter anymore Law Enforcement than an out-numbered Capitol Police Corps. The arch supporter Of Herr Trump, Mother Pence’s Big Boy, Mikey ALONG WITH HIS FAMILY, are quickly escorted to a kind of safe place, just inches away from a trove of treasured treasonists, tearing at the foundation of the heartbeat of our nation all tempted by Trump to at least HANG MIKE PENCE! The only laughter came from the Proud Boys/Oath Keepers/KKK/and MAGA MINIONS. (And of course a BIG “I Love You,” from Trump. Like the Golden Girls, this episode, went into reruns, run in’s with the law, and a run for your life.

 

Sophia Petrillo is a fictional character, snide and sarcastic, Mikey Pence, played a fictional Vice President and even more convincing a fictional HUMAN BEING. Words were written for Sophia Petrillo, words seemed to escape Mikey Pence, as HE, ever since the Day of INURECCTION, he has and had remained MUM, as in MUM is the word, or MY MUM, MOTHER PENCE, told me not to speak! HOWEVER, Mikey Pence always has a lot to say about the lives of the LGBTQ Community, or the Women who want Reproductive Rights regarding their OWN Bodies…HE is a devout dictator regarding those lives…BUT somehow, when the lives of HIS own Political Party (forget those nasty Dems), and the lives of HIS OWN FAMILY are at stake, MIKEY PENCE was silent…oh yeah and IS STILL SILENT! I wonder what Sophia Pertillo might have to say about Mikey Pence. It might start out like this: Picture This. A Puppet a Pawn, a Fool, a Fart, Clown a Castrated…

 

 

And once more

 “Sovereign citizens, who believe they do not have to follow laws and whose extremist members are considered a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI, claim a law was passed in 1871 that secretly turned the U.S. into a corporation. The movement believes that every president after Ulysses S. Grant is illegitimate and Trump will become the 19th president—a claim taken up by QAnon.”

“They also claim the U.S. has been run by a group of shadowy investors since Franklin D. Roosevelt ended the gold standard in 1933—the same year that presidential inauguration ceremonies were moved from March 4 to January 20 in order to shorten the lame-duck period.

Before the start of Trump's impeachment, Debie Brisco wrote on Telegram: "God has planned all of this for many years. Got to love this president. Not much longer now. March 4 will be our victory dance. And I plan to dance in the freakin streets." (Newsweek)

 

I had no idea! Nope, none, zero, zilch, that the political calendar of this nation, included encapsulated dates from ENCOUNTERS OF THE FOURTH KIND, THE SPIRIT WORLD, and the CAVERNS FROM HELL! But wham bam, and eating a baby or two, it seems the same folks who brought bloodshed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, are at it again, and this time seeking EVEN more glory and gore! The Crazy is like the fallout from an Atomic War, seeping into the land, the empty minds, and pod people bodies of Fascists/Anarchists/Proud Boys/Good Nazi’s and the Folks From FOX. Be Aware and Be Afraid America, because sanity has left the stage!

Telephone Game

  

The Game of Telephone OR HE said and SHE said!

 

Moments after voting to acquit Donald Trump, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gave a speech excoriating the former president for a "disgraceful dereliction of duty" and said he holds him responsible for "provoking" the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol. (MSNBC) For Moscow Mitch, it is always convenient to speak from the ass hole, because whatever he says is like gas, it only happens after the fact, and comes out after eating shit, to begin with! He said and with his straight face, (although when he speaks one might imagine they are not looking at his face) that since the Impeachment was held after Trump was out of office, the point of Impeachment was moot. Uh-huh, I know and you know, Moscow Mitch planned it that way…

 

Lindsey Graham had said Jan. 6 that Trump needed to understand his actions before and during the riot Jan 6 “were the problem, not the solution.” But Graham told Fox News Sunday that Trump “encouraged supporters throughout the country to fight like hell to take back the election that he felt was stolen,” using language common to political speeches. Oh, yeah Lindsey added, that it seems like Lara Trump (the wife of Dumber Trump, now is a sure thing to run for Senate in North Carolina), and Ms. Lindsey, is sure as fuck gonna support her, adding that Lara trump is the future of the Republican Party. (I might add if THAT IS the future, be afraid GOP, be afraid!)…

 

And then Susie Collins who THIS time did vote to Impeach Trump, was her usual “I am shocked and appalled and surprised full of bull shit self, and without worrying that the sky would fall upon her for one more insincere lie, she was soooooo dismayed that Trump DID NOT LEARN ANY LESSONS. Remember, this THUG-ETTE, voted the first time to just slap Trump on the wrist, because ANYONE  deserves a second chance…ALSO at the time, Susie (Aunt Bea) Collins was running for office, and one has to guess Moscow Mitch’s very conservative and anarchist Domestic Terrorist Donors, fed Susie’s War Chest with lots of corrupt dollars…

 

The Telephone Game, you know, it starts out as a message, is passed on to the next person and the next, and at the end all it sounds like is GARBAGE!

 

 

 

No More Days After

 No more days, AFTER for me…I now INSIST on the days BEFORE! 

I read, how, the day after Obama had been sworn into office, McConnell (The Red), delighted in telling HIS GOP goons that NO MATTER THE INTENTION, nothing Obama presents as his priorities,  and no matter that HE won a majority of votes, NOT ONE ITEM of HIS administration, will be passed by the Republican Senate…

 

I watched with anger,  the day after Merrick Garland had been nominated to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, how the lies, the con, the sheer arrogance and politics by McConnell (Public Enemy Number One) had been spewed, denying the Judge any hearing on his nomination…

 

I listened with horror, the day after it was announced that Trump somehow won the election, amazing then as it IS now as it was then, just how close the closest of swing stated HAD been. HOW often, WAY TOO OFTEN, Trump insisted that Russia did not interfere…

 

I witnessed the speech at the Trump MAGA RALLY near the White House, as Trump HIS CRIME FAMILY, THE SWAMP CREATURES, like Giuliani, Stone, Flynn, et al, demanded a coup to overturn the election, in sighting INSURRECTION, and with shock and disgust, I waited, the after and the day after and the day after for Trump to be arrested and removed from office…

 

I GROW TIRED of the DAYS AFTER, because all they have led to, so far, ARE more DAYS AFTER! I can no longer ask when these days will end, because by asking I become a victim. I now PLEAD for the new days, as in the DAYS BEFORE. Those DAYS when we no longer REACT BUT ACT UP AND ACT OUT! I am tired of asking for when and DEMAND A NOW!

Am I What?

  

ACQUITTAL: At the end of a criminal trial, a finding by a judge or jury that a defendant is not guilty. An acquittal signifies that a prosecutor failed to prove his or her case beyond a reasonable doubt, not that a defendant is innocent.

 

Am I surprised? To be surprised I would FIRST have had to believe that Facts mattered, laws mattered, the Constitution mattered! I would have had to believe WE THE PEOPLE mattered more than THEY THE POLITICIANS.

 

Am I shocked? To be shocked I would first have had to believe that the GOP played fair in anything they ever did, that hypocrisy was not present and inhaled and exhaled by the GOP like oxygen. I would first have had to believe that as patriots they pontificated they were, they would believe by proclaiming Patriotism, that they understood NO MAN or WOMAN IS ABOVE THE LAW!

 

What I am, however, is ANGRY/PISSED/DISTURBED/ and what I want is JUSTICE. I want every state which has reason to believe that Trump is guilty to use ALL of their Resources and bring him to court. I want every voter, who UNDERSTANDS the value of Democracy to vote BLUE. I want every newspaper in the nation to disavow and distance themselves from each and every Republican Congress Person who decided that THEIR CAREER, is more important than the demise of democracy, the death of the Capitol Cops who were murdered in cold blood or the Police who have endured such duress and destruction on January 6 and found suicide the ONLY means of escape. I want the 80 million Americans who voted for Biden-Harris to bring a friend in 2022 and vote against any and all Republicans.

 

Oh, yeah, and just in case ANYONE thinks TRUMP has ANY remorse, here is his statement today: "We have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant, and limitless American future," Trump said in a written statement issued shortly after the Senate impeachment verdict.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AFRAID

 “...there is no explaining anything by reasoning and so it is useless to reason.”― Fyodor Dostoyevsky,“My God, but what do I care about the laws of nature and arithmetic if for some reason these laws and two times two is four are not to my liking? To be sure, I won't break through such a wall with my forehead if I really have not got strength to do it, but neither will I be reconciled with it simply because I have a stone wall here and have not got strength enough.”― Fyodor Dostoyevsky“People really do like seeing their best friends humiliated; a large part of the friendship is based on humiliation; and that is an old truth, well known to all intelligent people.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky“My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 

A whole bunch of fellow TRUMP, INSURRECTIONISTS, AFRAID to be Primaried, AFRAID that by trying to save American Democracy, they put their lives at risk by the people they eventually want to vote for them, so they will not attempt to do so, AFRAID that admitting the truth, they will somehow be considered an enemy, by Proud Boys, American Nazi’s, QAnon Conspiracy Theorists, FOX News and by the same people WHO DESIRE TO REMAIN ENEMIES OF THE STATE, AFRAID that by doing the correct thing, saving America from the Despot/Dictator/Anarchist/Fascist/ THUG, they might actually be out of a job, in which their priority at one time WAS to save America! THESE FELLOW INSURRECTIONISTS are identified as Republican Senators…AND THEY have not only shat upon all of America but are in the process of FUCKING ALL OF US, and pretending their DNA is nowhere to be discovered within the crime scene!

 

And so far, all WE THE PEOPLE CAN DO is WATCH! WTF!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

ONLY ME

 Intentionally or not, Trump's lawyer, Bruce castor zeros in on the issue that will decide the outcome “Nobody in this chamber is anxious to have a primary challenge. That is one truism I can say with certainty. But that is the way we operate in this country.”…. Bruce Castor said this as he argued Trump was backing peaceful primary challenges to Republicans who he thought were not fighting hard enough. Tweet from Sahil Kapur (National Politics Reporter)

 

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT AMERICA/AMERICANS, Law and Order, the CONSTITUTION, Right or Wrong, INSURRECTION, Anarchy comes down to the most basic of instincts for the GOP, Politics over People, Selfish over Selfless, Fear over Fact, and Careless over Caring.

 

Bruce Castor is a horrific Attorney he practices malfeasance as an art, but at least the ONE and the perhaps the ONLY one truth he spoke was the idea that if you Cross the Mob Boss, you will pay the Price. The only problem in America is that all of us will end up with a horse’s head in our beds when this over!

where in the world

 Where’s Waldo…OR…Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego…OR…Cruz…Holly…Blunt…Lee…Johnson…Graham and about another half dozen GOP Senators, WHO, aside from pretending they are SENATORS and not a part of the Trump Crime Family, ARE the actual JURORS, for the SECOND IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, for the INSURRECTIONIST and wanna be ANARCHIST, TRUMP!

 

Too busy kissing the ring finger, or is it giving AMERICANS  their middle finger, as these TRAITORS kowtow, to the killer in chief, ignoring all kinds of Constitutional responsibilities, while bathing in their own potential political careers, helping this nation to careen into a dystopian and dismal future! Oh, where are they, well a few were with the Defense Team for Trump, meeting, and planning and plotting just how to make this second IMPEACHMENT TRIAL as much a sham as the first; and feeling no shame in the process of doing so!

 

It might be hard to believe that any Senator could or would or should, turn their back on democracy, decency and try to destroy any principles or purpose to uphold the values and morals of this country, BUT the current crop of Republican Insidious Enablers, more interested in maintaining personal power, have placed their OWN needs, and futures above America and its citizens. Justice served, I think NOT, not at least while we have way too many in the GOP, who like Trump ARE nothing but Russian Assets, Domestic Terrorists, and Treacherous Traitors!

DIDJA'

 “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”-Dr. Seuss-The Lorax

Didja’ watch Day Two? Didja’ ever witness, so much MORE information, than a person could EVEN imagine, didja’? Didja’ know just how much hate and loathing, and dismissiveness and divide, anyone could have demonstrated, AND THAT WAS JUST THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS, there was even MORE disgusting filth fomenting from Trump and his enablers.

Cops dead, (No Thin Blue Line the TRUMP INSURRECTIONISTS, ever cared about), a gallows erected (TOO BAD MR. VP, SEEMS THE CROWD HATED YOU, as much as Trump himself), knives and guns out for Pelosi and the next in line, Chuckie Grassley (SEEMS TRUMP, was gonna make certain the line of succession was emptied until either Ivanka or Jared was next in line!) What was that GOP Senators, nothing to see here, let bygones be bygones, he is out of office so “what me worry, now?”

I am infuriated, I am pissed, and as they say in Pittsburghese, they are all “JAGOFF’S, every single Senator, who has NOT insisted on the arrest and conviction of Trump, his Swampy Suck Ass, Gaggle of Goons/Fraudulent Family and the Treason Loving Republicans, who never then gave a fuck, and currently are in the midst of NOT Giving a Fuck-Fest!

 

 

Aunt Meercy Method

 In the year 2008, I traveled to Miami Gardens, Florida, to begin a six-week task of moving my Aunt Meercy, from a home she had known for over 30 years, back to Pittsburgh (her and my hometown), because she was beginning to become frail, and no family members were in the area, should any emergency take place. (Actually, my Aunt Meercy recounted way too many occasions where she and her other, 80 some year-old neighbor, would ride out hurricanes in their hallway using Sterno plates as an oven, candles as light, and if the transistor was still functioning, she would access her transistor radio for a form of information!) For me, so many emotional moments, but one in particular, which took place every evening as we would watch, Jeopardy, Murder She Wrote, and MacGyver (And in that order…OY!) was the silencing of commercials, by the very nimble fingers of my Aunt’s hand using the remote as if it had been a magic wand. My Aunt, would say to me, “They sell you all the crap, you don’t need, pretending they care, but all they do is to enrich themselves…if I swore I would use the words that pertain to the letters, B.S. And, without a second's hesitation, there was silence, and even more, awe-inspiring, NEVER a seconds delay when one of her “PROGRAMS,” began again!

 

I tried watching the IMPEACHMENT REALITY SHOW, honestly, I DID, but the moment, any one of Trump’s legal team (If I practiced law, I would place a muffled hand over my mouth when asked what was my profession), OR one of his Flying Monkey/Entrail Licking Enablers, started talking, I began shouting profanities, screamed run-on sentences which had words in them like TRAITOR-TREASONIST-ANARCHIST-COWARD-LIAR, and of course INSURRECTIONIST. I grew hoarse, my gut was raging with heartburn, and my head ached, (My blood pressure is good, but I am certain during those moments, a stroke was racing toward my brain) And then it dawned on me, to use the Aunt Meercy Method, and I would add, they are selling crap, I don’t need it, and all they are doing is enriching themselves…HOWEVER, without Aunt Meercy around I also added, you FUCKING ENEMIES OF THE STATE! And thus the remote remained close by, and there was silence!

 

Before I realized the Aunt Meercy Method of watching television, I did fall prey to the PROPAGANDA, perpetuated by the flagrant Fascists, supporting Trump’s adventure into ANARCHY, and heard Little Marco Rubio (who is terrified that Princess Ivanka is going to Primary him in Florida, as well as Leningrad Lindsey (God can only imagine the treasure trove of blackmail Vlad has on him) tell the Dems, (And honestly in doing so, the rest of America who voted for Biden) “TO JUST MOVE-ON,” And I also heard Senator Lee from Utah,(The guy who swears NO LAW is above the rights of citizens to disobey), explain that the INSURRECTION  was like a Mulligan, “…and every golfer makes a mistake and should be able to have a do-over??!! A FUCKING DO OVER, so next time he can actually accomplish a COUP!

 

I heard the Legal Team (Again, come on ATTORNEY’S are you just going to sit there and be embarrassed at the asinine assholes representing your profession) talk in circles, never finishing their sentences, but complying a hundred run-on sentences, which only RAN on. And as I finally used the Aunt Mercy Method, and the remote was turned down to BEYOND SILENT, all I could hear running through my head as the mouths of these Snake Oil Men moved, and that was “I Got Plenty of Nothing, and Nothing Is Plenty For me!” (Plenty Of Noting/Bubose Heyward)

 

 

THE LETTER H

 The Hype, the Hysteria, the History, the Horrors, the Honor, ALL of that will be produced for the Senate to look, listen, learn, lament…but only ONE word most likely will PREVAIL, when the actual Second Impeachment Trial (Or should it be titled the INSURRECTION TRIAL), of a sick sociopath, murderous maniac, Russian Asset, Anarchist, asshole named Donald J. Trump begins…and that word is HYPOCRITES.          

 

The Jurors were the Victims, were the Witnesses, were the Targets, were the Hunted, and NOW it seems that if they have the letter R, in front of their political party they are seemingly also the COWARDS! Not all, perhaps, but time and time again, We The People have witnessed, just how SPINELESS, AND EMPTY Republicans have been when truth and justice are on the line against their own personal life and ambitions. The GOP hide behind self-fulfillment, and self-selection, and ALWAYS prefer what is best for them than the nation at large!

 

So the Crime of the Century is at hand, hubbub, hoo-hah, hubris all plenty of, but so far even more than that is the HEAPING, HANDFUL OF HYPOCRISY! 

Slings and Arrows

 So, Trump’s lawyers (a creed of their own, indeed) have stated that Trump did not incite violence on January 6, 2020, he just told his CULTISTS to “…Fight like Hell,…The so-called attorneys (each with a true background of SORDIDNESS and a penchant for insidious attractions to really awful and criminal people, who delighted in tormenting women of all ages, especially under-aged and vulnerable) forgot to mention, that once TRUMPS  INSURRECTIONISTS, began to reenact the British attacking the US Capitol Building in 1814, and the first time ever, including the years of Civil War, to have a Confederate Flag in the building…THAT,…Trump pounded his chest, raised a fist playing with their emotions by insisting HE would join them, and for good measure he added, just how much he loved the INSURRECTIONISTS!

 

But YOU and I know that, and you wanna’ know who else KNOWS that ALL OF THE ENTIRE CONGRESS, yeppers, not just the Dems, but the cowards called the GOP. And guess what, I am REAL CERTAIN, even TRUMPS third or fourth, or is it the fifth round of Attorney’s know that also!

 

But THIS is America, and sadly the Trump Reality is still playing in re-runs (Hollywood has run out of anything new to offer), so even more sadly, We The People must decide, as William Shakespeare once wrote in Hamlet/ “Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?”

I vote for opposing them, with the greatest of energy!

 

My Way

 “Regrets I've had a few

But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more, much more than this
I did it my way…” (‘My Way’/Paul Anka)

 

‘My Way was released in 1975, Trump was 28 years old, and an article in the New York Times stated…Trump was developing a mid-town hotel -- and was lamenting that it would not be ready in time for the upcoming Democratic National Convention. That remodel came under fire eventually from other developers, given the generous tax breaks Trump received for it. It is now 2021, and as if time never passed, as if any lesson had never been forced for HIM to learn as if any consequence had never been laid for HIM to incur, as if honesty/decency/truth/or FUCKING JUSTICE, had never been demanded of him…this anarchist/mob boss/

Russian Asset/INSURRECTIONIST continues to do it HIS way, and NEVER seems to be stopped!

 

“Yes, there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And did it my way…”(‘My Way’/Paul Anka)

 

The third verse of ‘My Way’ continues the lament of some proud boy (hmmm, in 2021 I suppose I should write Proud Boy) all full of vinegar and sass, assuming whatever he had done mattered not to those around HIM, because when the sun revolves around YOU, fuck the rest of the losers. And, if current events remain the same, and those who use the word Republican as their Political Party affiliation, remain, spineless authoritarian loving cowards, Trump will have done it HIS way, one more time, and THIS TIME, if not stopped COMPLETELY, AND HARDILY, HE will do it his way as we watch the demise of democracy! Think about that...I do and I fear for my freedoms!

 

Cancel Culture

 According to Dictionary.com, “Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive. [It's] generally discussed as being performed on social media in the form of group shaming.”

 

OR

 

Urban Dictionary defines canceling as "to dismiss something or somebody" and "to reject an individual or idea." And when people use the term unironically, it reveals a big problem with our culture. ... Cancel culture as it currently exists doesn't give people a chance to learn from or apologize for their wrongdoings.

 

OR

 

Cancel culture has been incredibly effective at combating sexism, racism, or any other type of abuse or harmful wrongdoing to others.

 

I must admit, when I started my Communal Worker Profession, I was a Youth Supervisor, and way back in the Pre-Historic Era, I understood, the terms, social contracts, aspirations, way forward, and demands of junior high and senior high kids. Being a teen myself in the turbulent 60’s I also experienced the very origins of honest, sincere, and relevant movements including Women’s Rights/Gay Rights/Voting Rights/and the Rights for People of Color. Those demographics were a part of a redefinition of a new acceptance and change in the American patchwork called culture. And way back WHEN…the mainstream (as I thought it to be, but in reality, it was the status quo believers who feared that their top-heavy hold on the world would diminish), HATED any culture that tried to demonstrate their place in the world. So, as I remember Cancel Culture DID exist, way before social media platforms, and the mainstream IN EARNEST, did their darndest to eliminate, remove and reject, anyone who WAS NOT THEM. And so it seems, the almost SAME group of scavengers, the White, Nationalism Christian, most part Male, Republican Party, and Evangelicals are crying foul, because Again For the Second Time, more people are demanding, the exact same rights, as FEW people have always considered to be ONLY THEIR RIGHTS!
