 A Lonely And 'Isolated' Trump Has 'Barely Left' Mar-A-Lago As Republicans Turn Against Him. (UPROXX)

Certain, lingering layers of bull shit, remain fixated in my craw (this phrase means 'stick in your throat'). Currently, the IDEA is that, suddenly, (as in I NEVER SAW THIS COMING), many Republicans have decided that Trump’s toxicity is now MORALLY repugnant. Of course, Trump’s openly admitting his love for Nazi’s/White Supremacy/ and Irrelevance for the Constitution are DISGUSTING/DEPLORABLE (thank you Hilary)…but none of those were NEVER NOT (double negatives, oops) actions he had taken before and philosophy he had espoused, like all the time. 

 

Republicans supported Trump’s actions because all those Republicans cared about was both MAINTAINING A MAJORITY and BEING RE-ELECTED.  Way back when Trump declared there were good people on both sides, to his Q-Anon codling, and with the January 6^th attempted COUP, TRUMP demonstrated, his love for all things Nazi/all things White Supremacy and all things Anti-Sematic. But since the GOP had their backbones and consciences removed, by the MAGA minion's cultist love for Trump, who demanded more, more, more…SOMEHOW, the IMMORALITY mattered not.

 

IT IS SO PATHETIC, to watch the GOP pretend that they are offended NOW, by the MALEVOLENT BEHAVIOR of Trump. I have to wonder, NO, I think I understand, how silent these PARASITES would have remained had Trump brought in the votes!

Thursday, Thursday

 It seems that the Ku Klux Klan had replaced their white robes with Red MAGA hats during the reign of terror of TRUMP. Now, it appears that even those Red MAGA hats have been replaced with Penile Implants in the form of AKs and ARs carried by Men dressed in Military Drag. So, now the so-called “well-armed militia,” is staking out Gay bars, and Drag Shows, all decorated in their Military garb, and “look how big my gun is attire. No more need for nooses, nope when you can carry your weapon of war. If this AIN’T a form of Domestic Terrorism, please, FBI, explain to me what is? Oh wait, I know, it becomes OFFICIAL DOMESTIC TERRORISM, once someone is killed!

I have never been detained in a Russian prison. Thank goodness no one I call a friend or family member has been detained in any Authoritarian Mad Man’s Regime. Brittney Griner was released, today. Her release was one-on-one for one of Russia’s most heinous of humans. And yet, if you listened to the Cable News, you would think that this exchange was some kind of TRUMP-related, scandal.  Except for one Talking Head, (including the Networks Anchors) no one else speaking about this has ever been held captive against their will, nor had a family member or friend. I am happy for Brittney and her wife and family, she is now free, and who will ever truly know the torture she went through and the nightmares she will have. However, it seems the folks on MSNBC and CNN, (now I know why I would read my news rather than listen to become commercialized), would rather make an issue out of Brittney’s freedom debating just why and how.  Nice to never suffer the consequences but decide they are up for debate.

 

So, now my marriage to my husband is almost foolproof, and secure. As if Joe and I were second-class citizens, we had to wait for Congress to finally do almost the right thing and say Same-Sex Marriage is about 95% the same as Hetero-Marriage. I had been raised to understand that EQUALITY carries no caveats. That EQUALITY means IT EQUALS, as in it is the same as something else it is compared to. Look closely at the deal that had to be made with the National Christian Fascists identifying as Republicans. There is some bull shit about Christian rights, as government representatives to NOT have to facilitate Same-Sex Marriages. Weren’t we once founded as a nation without a National Religion? Yeah, and Boo. More security, but not safe, a  see it!

Serial Movies

 A serial film, film serial (or just serial), movie serial, or chapter play, is a motion picture form popular during the first half of the 20th century, consisting of a series of short subjects exhibited in consecutive order at one theater, generally advancing weekly, until the series is completed.

Each chapter was screened at a movie theater for one week, and ended with a cliffhanger, in which characters found themselves in perilous situations with little apparent chance of escape. Viewers had to return each week to see the cliffhangers resolved and to follow the continuing story. (Wikipedia)

 

I feel as if, living in the world these past 8 years, especially in the United States, almost every day, seemingly every week, I AM LIVING IN a SERIAL MOVIE, complete with Protagonists/Antagonists/ and fucking CLIFFHANGERS. Just as I celebrated a slight victory for Democracy with the re-election of Senator Warnock, I am now confronted with the news that once again the Conservative, (or maybe just identify them as Christian Nationalist Fascist Judges) are weighing the right of voters to elect their politicians, against the wrong of state legislatures to decide the outcome of elections:=====The U.S. Supreme Court held tense arguments on Wednesday in a Republican appeal that could transform American elections by giving politicians more power over voting rules and curbing the ability of state courts to scrutinize their actions (Reuters).

 

Wasn’t it enough to have squirmed and broken out in a rash during the Mid Terms, hoping that American Government would not become the TRUMP BANANA REPUBLIC? But now a Court of APPOINTED JUDGES (I prefer to NOT use the word JUSTICE, as so far with the GOP Evangelical Christians there is no JUSTICE), once again seems to confuse the Constitution with the Bible:===== The graphic designer and her supporters argue that ruling against her could force artists to do work that is against their faith. Her opponents, however, argue that a victory for Ms Smith could pave the way for businesses around the country to discriminate against customers for a variety of reasons such as religion, ethnicity or national origin. (BBC).

 

Democracy, Freedom, Justice, Liberty, Equality, The Constitution, all of the aforementioned just seem to become one more SERIAL MOVIE after the other, from which, we the people must hold our breaths, knowing that one more CLIFFHANGER after another, after another is coming our way. All I want is the part where we can finally say, AND AMERICA AND ITS DEMOCRACY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

 

 

Amazing ISN'T IT

 Amazing, ISN’T IT, how, for MAGA Minions, FOX fools, and GOP Trump Ass Lickers, COMMUNISM is not the same arch-enemy if in fact COMMUNISTS lend money from North Korea, act as dictators, and invade democratic countries, as in Russia. Those COMMIES are ignored. Also,  hate the COMMUNIST PARTY from China, but not the COMMUNIST PARTY officials who provided Ivanka Trump with 18 Trademarks. Watch closely how the ilk of Marjory Putin Greene seem to insist that it is the COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY who are the bad guys… 

Amazing, ISN’T IT, how much a fool, McConnell and McCarthy will make themselves, pretending that either their NON-COMMENT-COMMENTS or COMMENTARY of supporting Trump’s actions on January 6^th,  come into focus when truth and fact actually matter. In a moment that drew widespread attention, family members of former Capitol Police Office Brian Sicknick — who died one day after the Capitol attack from natural causes following multiple strokes — snubbed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) during the ceremony, declining to shake their hands after the medals were presented. (The Hill)

 

Amazing, ISN’T IT, how even the dredges of American society, some of the lowest life forms of the Republican Party, can actually lower the bar so it rests on the roof of Hell. Margie Putin Greene, never one to permit facts, truth, science, or history, ever matter, is now becoming a kind of pariah, ever since Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene disavowed white nationalist livestreamer Nick Fuentes, the far-right has viciously turned on her. (VICE)

 

AMAZING ISN’T IT just how some Americans can pick and choose, and ASSUME no one is aware!

They just Hate

 Supreme Court leans in favor of a Christian website designer’s right to turn away gay weddings 

Justices appear ready to rule for a Christian business owner claiming a free-speech right to turn away same-sex couples planning to marry. (LA TIMES)

 

Colbert: "A lot of people have been saying, up to this point… when's the constitutional crisis coming? Well mark your calendar, tattoo it on your forehead and flip off your boss, cuz it's here. (LA TIMES)

 

If and most likely WHEN the Supreme Court rules in favor of a HOMOPHOBE, (the Christian Web Site owner) who just doesn’t think Same-Sex Marriages are right for her, the supposed question of when the CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS COMING, will have arrived. Under the Bull Shit guise of being free speech, to NOT do any work for Same-Sex Couples, the Supreme Court may herald in the arrival of TRUE AMERICAN CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM.

 

Imagine what comes next when the DIVIDE BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE is demolished by the SUPREMES? I don’t think Interracial Marriage is true Christianity. Jews murdered Christ, so I can not sell products to them. They are Latin so they must be Illegal immigrants and Christ, who wrote the Constitution would not adhere to that. It AIN’T FREE SPEECH, IT IS HATE SPEECH!

I Will NOT Imagine

 Colorado is once again the battleground in the latest case before the court, brought by graphic designer Lorie Smith. Smith, like bakers Jack Phillips and Aaron and Melissa Klein, and florist Barronelle Stutzman before her, is a Christian business owner who says her religious beliefs prevent her from creating custom websites for a same-sex wedding. But her stance could violate Colorado's public accommodation law, which prohibits businesses open to the public from refusing service because of sexual orientation and announcing their intent to do so. (CBS News)=====Imagine if we changed the words SAME-SEX to the words INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES.  Are we to take for granted that a self-declared Christian who swears his or her Bible is the law of the land, does not find passages relating to the sin of different races marrying?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Waggoner (Smith’s attorney) replied that the speech would still be Smith's, comparing her service to the work of a newspaper editor or ghostwriter: "What matters is what the objection is that the speaker is being asked to create ... If you don't believe they should be telling their story, and what they're asking you to do is tell their story, then you don't have to do that." (CBS News)=====Imagine if it was Jews or Muslims who wanted to tell their stories, wanting to express their points of view on marriage, divorce, and abortion rights. Imagine if he or she felt that those religions did not represent the One True God, Jesus.

 

"If the government can censor and compel my speech, it can censor and compel anybody's speech," she told CBS News before the arguments. "We should all be free to live and work consistently with our deeply held beliefs."===== Imagine if the South maintained their deeply held beliefs that Colored Folk needed to sit at the back of the bus, drink from their own fountains, not eat at certain restaurants, attend their own schools, and live in their own neighborhoods.

 

I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT IMAGINE ANY OF THIS. Call it Segregation, Apartheid, or simply Religious Bigotry, BUT DO NOT CALL IT THE LAW OF THE LAND!

HOW WHY

 The price of gasoline is dropping like a rock. Chicken wings are suddenly a bargain. And retailers drowning in excess inventory are looking to make a deal. (New York Times)

SERIOUSLY folks, somehow as in wham bam thank you, ma’am, right after an election, during the most significant marketing event for the USA, Christmas, magically, mysteriously, miraculously, INFLATION seems to be on the decline. SERIOUSLY folks, right before our eyes, before the election, as in now you see it now you don’t, during the waning days of summer, and the anticipated Day Light Savings, our savings were ravished, our budgets busted, and Corporations' greed and gluttony gleefully exulted. That invisible human-created, villain, spawned from Capitalism gone wild, erupting from those who still think you can take it with you when you die, and the 1% who believe their shit doesn’t stink, but yours does, INFLATION, had risen. And one should ask HOW?

 

The MAGA, minions, (not their Lord and Masters, the 1%, the Donor Class, the pay not fair share of taxes Billionaires,) BUT, the Authoritarianism was written into the Constitution Crowd, the Evangelical Preachers who swear Jesus wants them wealthy, the History is insulting, the Tucker Carlson fan club, think that words like COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM, are truly evil and something the 11^th and 12the commandments abhorred. Of course having no idea of the true definition of COMMUNISM OR SOCIALISM, (leaving that description up to such INTELLIGENCIA as the Oath Keepers, Rupert Murdoch, Proud Boys, and Trump Fan Club Republicans,) those same folks who insist Medicare and Medicaid are evil, the Affordable Health Care Act an act of the Devil, Universal Pre-School and Nutrition Programs for schools are Satan incarnate, will continue to shoot themselves in their own feet, denying themselves their pursuit of life, liberty, and health.

 

INFLATION does not grow from seed, INFLATION contains no carbons or atoms. INFLATION cannot be harvested or fished. We can breathe, sleep, grow, and live without INFLATION. But yet, as if INFLATION was now a gift from Mother Nature, it seems more important than life itself! WHY!
