Just how low

 HOW LOW CAN YOU GO!

Within the current Republican Party, the answer remains AS LOW AS KING DONALD DESIRES.

 

Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin on Monday likened the competition to become Donald Trump’s running mate to the reality business TV show that raised his profile. “The veepstakes right now feel like ‘The Apprentice’ but to prove just how unprincipled and willing to grovel you are,” Griffin said on Monday’s episode of ABC’s “The View,” which she co-hosts. Griffin’s damning summary came amid a discussion on the various ways in which Trump’s potential picks have in recent weeks debased themselves to curry favor with the presumptive GOP nominee ― from South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s dog-killing admission to Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) refusal to say if he’ll accept the 2024 election result. (HUFFPOST)

 

Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio downplayed the violence of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, telling CNN that he was “extremely skeptical that Mike Pence’s life was ever in danger.” Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida showcased his willingness to defend hush money for porn stars by calling on New York jurors to acquit Trump of the charges against him. “This is a trash case; there is no crime here,” he declared on Newsmax, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York showcased her intense thirst for Trump’s nod by echoing his claim that Jan. 6 rioters are “hostages.” Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama apparently thought her fundie baby voice/angry mom bit would appeal to the former president’s idea of what someone from veep central casting would look and sound like.

For my BLOG, today, I had it quite easy. I did not have to pontificate, preach, or add snark, or sarcasm. I did not have to do anything but showcase the words and deeds of a bunch of EMPTY, SELF-SERVING, PATHETIC MINIONS who have little problems in losing their genitals and backbones to become nothing but accomplices in the destruction of America. BUT what should trouble those of us who want Democracy to survive… IS the fact that these Buffoons could be the second person in line to become President!

Much Ado

 The phrase 'Much Ado about Nothing' is used when someone is overreacting and makes a big deal of fuss over something unimportant. (Collins Dictionary) 

And so, Moscow Margie, was given free reign, by, “it’s all about me, and my personal gains,” Kevin McCarthy, as Kevin was willing and able, and available to make any deal with the Devil, which permitted him to attain more and more power. Kevin, placing personal privileges above the people, prioritizing his own selfish interests, beyond and form of reasonable or rational governance, permitted Moscow Margie, to rape and pillage our Democracy. And with Kevin’s approval, Moscow Margie, took advantage of her newly found status as the GURU of the GOP, and she managed to threaten, blackmail, and eliminate any all of her perceived or planned enemies. Moscow Margie’s power surged, and she recognized, her super powers and put them to total evil use. And now, the same clowns who approved of her disgusting behavior are suddenly perplexed. Moscow Margie, overreacted, made big deals out of nothingness, made “much ado about nothing, and NOW it seems there is nothing the Republicans can do to stop her.

 

Chris Christie, yearning to remain relevant, acting bold, brassy, and belligerent as ever, decided that he needed a new con. Being a conniving scoundrel, a very good purveyor of snake oil, Chris Christie, informed the citizens of the US of A, that he was NOT going to take TRUMP’S bull shit anymore, and that he, Chris Christie, would be the VOICE of sensible Republicans. Christie gained his 15 minutes plus of fame, as he made the rounds on MSNBC, and CNN, playing his usual role of “I do not give a shit,” crusader.  Main Street absorbed his Bull Shit, like a sponge, actually complementing Christie, for having the “balls”, and “backbone,” to let TRUMP know just what a farcical character he was. UNTIL the fluff and ruffles fell off of Christie, and he, like almost every other Republican POLITICIAN, decide that conscience, dignity, and morals will get them nowhere within the current Republican voters.  Christie was just one more charade in the comedy of errors called ‘Much Ado About Nothing!’

 

How much nothingness, and the nothingness people must we continue to permit to con us?

MONSTER makers

 “It seems to be a WHOLE lot easier to create a monster than to destroy a monster.” Gerry Buncher, circa USA 2024!

 

 “Deny, deny, deny,” said Hope Hicks. For goodness sake, by all means ,  if the bad guy did and does bad things to everyone else, then by ALL means, ignore his evil and pretend, instead, it is a virtuous act. Her mentor, her idol, so what the fuck did it matter that HE was a shameful creature, minus morals or values, just as long as HE made Hope Hicks’s’ life wonderful. Sorry, Hope, you had the opportunity, way before it was too late, to actually stop this MONSTER from terrorizing our world.

 

In advance of his congressional testimony, Trump’s personal lawyer wants the world to know that his loyalty to the president is deep and unwavering, and then some. “I’d never walk away,” he says. (Vanity Fair) Mikey Cohen is, ready able, available amenable, and anxious to keep his Mob Boss Idol in power. Keep the monster fed, keep the monster alive, keep the monster continuing to destroy, until YOU become the next victim. Sad sack Mikey Cohen somehow thought that the vile, and venom of TRUMP was never going to darken HIS own doorstep. Stomp upon, stamp out, incinerate anyone and everyone, and be okay with it, until YOU are victimized.

 

Sex tapes! Celebrity rehab! Trump hush-money trial goes full National Enquirer as Hulk Hogan, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen are name-dropped. (Business Insider) Keith Davidson is a lawyer with a mission, the mission is to blackmail folks, or is the kinder gentler word, to assist folks who have been accused of naughty, naughty sexual kind of acts, by suggesting certain sums of money to NOT have their famous persona’s sullied. So why wouldn’t Mikey Cohen on behalf of TRUMP see out Davidson’s firm. But now, Keith Davidson, who was willing to take TRUMPS money, pretends he has a conscience, a guilty one.

 

Let me be clear, I am glad these three have decided to tell the truth, but IMAGINE, if way back when, WHEN that truth should have been told, how NOW, we might have been minus the MONSTER TRUMP!

"bless her heart"

 House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) repeatedly uttered “bless her heart” at the mention of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in a new interview shared Wednesday. But he likely wasn’t being a Southern gentleman in the face of her loud campaign to have him axed from his post. The term is often used in the South as a condescending diss that’s delivered like honey. It can even go so far as to say someone is pathetic. (HUFFPOST)

Marjorie Taylor Greene circulates a vile post about a 10-year-old transgender girl’s future orgasms. “In ten years, he’ll be anorgasmia 20 years old with a wound called a neovagina with no chance of having his own family.” Anorgasmia is a sexual dysfunction that means people struggle to achieve orgasm despite sexual stimulation.” (PINK News)

 

Margie-Taylor-Greene’s now ex-husband pulled the trigger on the marriage after media reports revealed that the neophyte politician had repeatedly cheated with other men, including polyamorous tantric sex guru Craig Ivey and the manager of the local gym she frequented. Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to have a new main squeeze in the form of right-wing radio host Brian Glenn. The pair have been spotted all over Rome, Georgia. Toronto Sun)

 

WHERE THE FUCK TO BEGIN… I suppose Margie-Putin-Greene, an expert on most nothing of importance or relevance regarding freedoms, liberties, and democracy, does, HOWEVER, seem to be a “MAVEN” on female orgasms, demonstrated as in the variety of men she has had them with, some, not her husband, while married to him, and one, who, after just a few weeks of no longer being and adulteress. Like way too many other Christian Fascist Republicans, Margie-Putin-Greene, is so enthralled, so absorbed, so interested in the genitals of the LGBT community, as to wonder out loud and worry out loud regarding their man and lady parts. (One might consider this overt interest in children’s bodies as a form of Pedophilia) .

 

As Speaker Mike Johnson (one who also seems to be overly concerned with his son’s interested in pornography) stated, “bless her heart”!

I AM, curious

 The southeastern United States is forecast to get struck by a heatwave next week which could see temperatures reach highs of 120 degrees, enough to start melting the asphalt in roads, in small areas of southern Texas according to one report. (NEWSWEEK)

I am curious, seriously, curious…if the effects of climate change actually affect the Red States, does that SUDDENLY, ACTUALLY, make climate change real? 

 

Three years later, many Americans see Trump through rose tinted glasses. (CNN)

I am curious, seriously, curious…is TRUMP the true Enemy of the State, or in reality, has TRUMP just permitted the Racists, Bigots, Homophobes Transphobes, Xenophobes, Misogynists, Anti-Semites, and Fascists to indulge in their ignorance and their hate, finally safely!

 

Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas all have laws that mandate women seeking a divorce to disclose if they are pregnant, and prohibit judges from finalizing the divorce if they are. No such law exists in Arizona, but judges in practice still will not finalize the divorce of a pregnant woman, according to the American Pregnancy Association. (Advocate)  

I am curious, seriously, curious…who are the Republicans and or MAGA Females who still vote Republican, who still support the Republican politicians, who pretend that eve, as females, making females CHATTE, is A-OKAY!

 

I am curious, how and why, while we know truths, the lies still remain. I am curious, how so many people still refuse to admit the facts, preferring instead the fiction. I am curious, seriously curious why in the world how STUPID, exists!

IT ain't a SIDESHOW

 WHEN THE SIDESHOW BECOMES THE MAIN EVENT 

Republicans, Democrats, and Donald Trump Agree on One Thing: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Move to Oust Mike Johnson Is a Dumb Idea. “She is about to realize her inevitable irrelevance.” (Vanity Fair)

Irrelevant…excuse me, as an American citizen, so far Margie-Putin-Greene’s every word, misdeed, slur, and crass action has taken center stage within the House of Representatives, and I so far have NOT witnessed ANYONE from telling her she is IRRELEVANT. In FACT, it seems she dominates Republican Politics.

 

Donald Trump suggested he may not accept the results of the 2024 election in the key swing state of Wisconsin in an interview with the state’s largest newspaper, where he also falsely claimed he won the state in 2020. "If everything's honest, I'll gladly accept the results. I don't change on that," Trump told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday when he was in the state for a rally. "If it's not, you have to fight for the right of the country." (POLITICO)

More brazen than when he ran for the Presidency in 2020 and actually more honest (honesty and TRUMP in the same sentence can cause seizures), TRUMP is NOW saying out loud exactly how he will handle his losses in 2024. He and only he IS the one who can decide honest from dishonest. Be afraid, folks, because even if this DESPOT is spouting off at a local rally in Wisconsin now, it will only become worse later.

 

"If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request—which is not the case today—we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question," Macron told The Economist in an interview published on Thursday, referring to the possibility of sending ground troops.

Although Ukraine's supporters are supplying billions of dollars in military aid to Kyiv, have balked at the idea of sending troops, a move that could draw NATO more directly into a confrontation with Russia. (NEWSWEEK)

Once again, we witness the let’s wait and see what happens, mixed with the dubious facts that we know what will happen, but if we pretend it won’t happen, then we won’t have to do anything about it…of course, until it is too late. It is as if the cowardly leaders of the nations in NATO, have perfectly forgotten the lessons of WWII> Appeasement is a diplomatic strategy. It involves making concessions to an aggressive foreign power in order to avoid war. It is most commonly associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, in office from 1937 to 1940. In the 1930s, the British government pursued a policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany. Today, appeasement is usually regarded as a failure because it did not prevent World War II.

MORE RELEVANT NEWS

 THE GOOD NEWS…

The Arizona Legislature on Wednesday left 19th-century abortion policy behind with a Senate vote to repeal a 160-year-old law.

Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' signature is all but assured for the repeal bill, which passed the Senate 16-14 with the help of two Republicans from swing districts. (azcentral.

THE MORE RELEVANT NEWS…

With the help of two Republicans from swing districts, this abhorrent abortion bill was passed because TWO Republicans understood that for them to keep their political power, they ACTUALLY listen to all of their constituents. This is relative because when any district IS NOT GERRYMANDERED, then it is the will of the people that matters, not the will of the Billionaire Donors.  

 

THE GOOD NEWS…

Supreme Court Puppet Master's Consulting Firm Clients Exposed in Leak. Leonard Leo’s consulting firm has worked for Eli Lilly, the Koch network, and a dark-money group pushing the Supreme Court to block a billionaire tax. (RollingStone)

THE MORE RELEVANT NEWS…

Once a light is lit, and the dark gloom of intentional secrecy is exposed, just like cockroaches, those who have infected our Democratic ways of justice and equality, become fearful and try not to be caught. And interestingly enough, if these Dark Money ,self-serving enemies of the state are so cocky while living in the shadows, why are they not so eager to be found out!

 

The Good News is that truth and justice, equality and fairness have found a triumph. The more Relevant News, for me, is that when THE TRUTH is exposed, and the FRAUD is discovered, democracy survives one day more!
