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!

 

 

 

 

 

Too many people voted for them

 Days after it was revealed that her new book includes a graphic account of her killing a pet dog (and goat), South Dakota governor Kristi Noem has doubled down on having committed pooch-icide, claiming the story is evidence that she’s an “authentic” leader. (Vanity Fair)

 

An “authentic” leader!” If you decide to kill living things, innocent living things, somehow that sociopathic trait makes you not just a leader but AN AUTHENTIC LEADER! I must wonder what is next for this TRUMP/MAGA/NRA-loving turd that comes next if she succeeds in becoming a VP…are PEOPLE who seem unruly or untrainable next to be shot. Hitler murdered 35.2 million people, Genghis Khan murdered 40 million people, Joseph Stalin murdered 48 million people, Mao Zedong murdered 65 million people ,and THEY wanted the world to know that by doing so, THEY were AUTHENTIC LEADERS!

 

A Jan. 6 participant who livestreamed his invasion of the U.S. Capitol and pleaded guilty to felony civil disorder told CNN Monday that he “did nothing wrong” on “the most patriotic day” of his life. Derrick Evans also said, “There’s no separation of church and state. That’s another lie that’s been portrayed by the left.” What makes the latter statement so noteworthy is that Evans is now running for the U.S. House of Representatives in West Virginia after being forced to resign from the state’s House of Delegates following the attempted coup. (HUFFPOST)

 

One more self-anointed leader. One more greater than thou, eager to lie, act ignorant, and deny any law or order that he feels doesn’t work for him. One more illusionist, displaying his look over there voodoo, all the while corrosive and rotten, moldy and full of mildew, sucking the oxygen out of our democracy.

 

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) filed an ethics complaint against special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday, accusing the prosecutor overseeing the federal investigations into former President Trump of trying to “unlawfully interfere with the 2024 presidential election.” 

“Smith’s conduct has brought disrepute to the Department of Justice and the entire federal government, and the … Office of Professional Responsibility should impose the discipline that such conduct warrants,” Stefanik said in her statement. (The Hill)

 

Without one ounce of embarrassment, self-awareness, minus any or all facts that don’t fit into her narrative, this THING, continues to hype her hypocrisy. Somehow if Trump tried to create false electors, attempted a coup, had his ATTORNEY GENERALS Sessions, and Barr, act as his private attorneys, to defraud the election of 2020, none of that falls into the category of fucking over the United States. I might ask does she have no shame…BUT SHE DOESN’T.

 

AND THE REAL KICKER, IS THAT THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE NO WHERE…NO WHERE, if not for some American voters who share the same IGNORANCE! 

 

When!!!

 I write this BLOG, perhaps with great SNARK, in a RHETORICAL demeanor, or maybe, perhaps, in complete EARNEST. And as I write this BLOG, I am full of angst, a churning belly of anxiety, and a whole lot of anger.

When, in our human history did we stop learning some really important lessons about life, SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED????? If we ever touched a hot stove, a hot pan, placed our fingers on a sharp blade…when we drank one too many shots of alcohol, when we tried to jump over a mail box…whenever we acted out of sheer stupidity and resulted in great pain and harm…USUALLY, we learned lessons on HOW NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN! As parents or older siblings, or even friends, we provide great details on the pitfalls of being foolish, on the harmful effects of cockiness, of the horrors of injury, both physically and mentally.

 

And yet, in America of 2024, it seems lessons of self-destruction, doom, and stupidity are ignored or, worse, purposely forgotten.

 

We learned that Presidents are fallible when NIXON showcased his distaste for the law. We knew then that no President should ever be above the law, and YET now, we hear the Supreme Court pontificate that somehow having a President above the law is a means to save Democracy. April 12, 1861, we learned that pretending that somehow states rights should usurp the rights and freedoms of any citizen of the United States, as in slavery being a state's right. We fought a bloody Civil War trying to correct this misleading notion, and YET here we are once again insisting that states have the right to discriminate against American citizens, be they females, Trans People, or LBG people. We fought a world war, understanding that Fascism, Authoritarianism, and Dictatorship are true enemies of the state and that any person seeking to become kind of a KING is dangerous to our FREEDOM.

 

When, WHEN, I ask and beg, and PLEAD, did so many of us decide that history ignored is no big deal? 

Ms. Lindsey, once again

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Sunday argued that Americans will not cast their ballots this fall based on Donald Trump's criminal charges as the former president faces an unprecedented trial in New York. On CNN’s "State of the Union," Graham railed against the indictments against the former president, claiming that most Americans are less concerned about Trump's four separate criminal cases at the state and federal level than the challenges facing the nation as a whole. (USA Today)

Let’s put aside, for the moment at least, Ms. Lindsey’s constant wearing of her T-shirt, “I Am With Stupid,” or her continuous worry about Putin’s secret and probably most alarming videotape of Ms. Lindsey, actually performing as MS. LINDSEY.  Let us realize that this spinless, testicle-less Trump eunuch can never wander too far off his leash, fear of TRUMP RETRIBUTION, and listen to his words. 

 

I do agree, sadly so, that a large minority of Americans will decide that economics should be prioritized over something as amorphous for them as Democracy. I compare it to Climate Change for these same demographics; as long as they can breathe fresh air today, way too many of them don’t give much of a shit about breathing fresh air tomorrow. As long as they think democracy will last forever, way too many refuse even to consider,, that in a TRUMP second term on day one, that too will DISAPPEAR. 

 

But here is where I beg all those well-paid “Democrat Talking Heads” to try and actually earn their money; by informing and educating, CONSTANTLY, this group of heads up their own asses, selfish folk to begin to grasp a better factual present, and future. Begin in simplistic terms to let these FOLKS know whose taxes had been lowered by TRUMP (THE UBER WEALTHY). Who helped spearhead the demise of Roe V Wade, TRUMP. Who had helped Corporations to keep their profits HIGH while keeping prices HIGHER, TRUMP.

 

Ms. Lindsey is nothing but a sycophant, a 21^st-century fraud, but Ms. Lindsey knows that fraud can work!

His Harlots

 His HAREM OF HARLOT HERETICS…

Governor Kristi Noem

One of Donald Trump’s top vice-presidential prospects has revealed she killed a family dog on a hunting trip.

In a forthcoming memoir, Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor, wrote how she threw Cricket, a 14-month-old female wirehaired pointer, into a gravel pit and executed it with a gun after concluding the dog was “untrainable”. Noem cited the killing of the pet dog as an example of her readiness to take on unpleasant tasks in the polarised world of US politics in her book No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.

“I hated that dog,” she wrote. “It was not a pleasant job but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realised another unpleasant job needed to be done.”

Noem said she then shot her “disgusting, musky, rancid” pet goat in the same gravel pit. (The Times/The Sunday Times)

 

KRISTI will remove any and all perceived trash from the face of her EARTH. She will raise her rifle and, as judge and executioner, be a FORCE to be reckoned with. KRISTI brags about “her readiness to take on unpleasant tasks,” and if that means murder, by GOD, I suppose by her interpretation of GOD, she will find a gravel pit and blow out the brains of the useless. And KRISTI is one of TRUMPS GAL PALS!

 

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders)

Umm. David Pecker testifies that he had a joint call with Hope Hicks and Sarah Huckabee Sanders — taxpayer funded WH officials, at the time — about whether Karen McDougal’s contract should be extended. "Both of them said that they thought it was a good idea," Pecker said. (Queerty) David Pecker Testifies He Spoke With Sarah Sanders and Hope Hicks About Extending Hush Money Payments After Trump Was Elected. (MEDIAite)

 

SARAH will declare that Gays are bad, Trans people worse, and that Banned books will make education better and more prudent. And SARA will, of course, support the bribes to keep an adulterer free to cheat on his wife. For SARAH, hypocrisy is her celebration of her Christianity.

 

Just two more females willing and able to forget morals and values, just to keep their own positions of power in place!

Once again SAD

 This week, the Supreme Court managed to fail to meet the already extremely low expectations most sane people already had for it. First, during the Idaho EMTALA case on whether hospitals receiving federal funding can refuse to provide abortions to women who are actively dying as a result of a pregnancy, we heard debate over which, and how many, organs a woman had to lose before an abortion becomes legally acceptable. By all appearances, it looks as though the court is going to gut the already laughably weak “life of the mother” protections by a 5-4 vote. (The New Republic)

They AIN’T Pro-life, they AIN’T Pro-Democracy, they ARE Pro- Christian Nationalism, Fascism. The GOP Activist Justices, the ones owned and operated by their Federalist Society, the ones who have lavish gifts of money, trips, and real estate provided to them, prefer hyperbole and hypocrisy, contradiction, and inconstancy over law, order, and justice.

 

And now these same Con Artists are actually going to decide if TRUMP can become an AUTOCRAT, A KING, A DICTATOR, and a ROYAL.

 

And for me, here is the kicker: three of these “shysters” were first nominated to their lifetime tenure by a guy who DID NOT WIN THE POPULAR VOTE, actually LOSING THE POPULAR VOTE BY MILLIONS OF VOTES. So the guy who the majority of Americans did not WANT as THEIR PRESIDENT was able to set up one more Con for the American Public.

 

And now, it looks like these same group of grifters, like Thomas and Alito, these same group of liars like Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh, and this same Chief Justice more concerned with his power than the true power of justice, Roberts, are going to ignore the foundations of our Constitution, to appease their wealthy, wealthy owners and operators! Fucking SAD!
