The death march to authoritarian GOP domination stops now, following their Covid-stricken victims to the grave.
Fairy Tale Presidency
Won't Get Fooled Again
Yes we will. It’s the nature of the business. But at least maybe if we try to do better, people like Pete Townsend could write some other songs.
“Trump fatigue lies over the land like a fog that just won’t break.” Thanks Mike.
Behind the Power Curve
Despite my best efforts to remain hopelessly depressed, deeply buried in the 24×7 news cycle, I somehow missed at least half the Administration’s recent Toady Award-winning antics. YouTube™ to the rescue!
I lived through the Ugly American thing overseas all over the world with the Air Force for >14 years. I cannot imagine what the current crop of troops has to look forward to.
Pack that Mutherfucker
The Supreme Court, that is. Building on yesterday’s little high court law lesson leaves us at an interesting judicial juncture. Installing that Coney cunt the other day calls for a long overdue reckoning. The old saying “absolute power corrupts absolutely” has been demonstrated true in the U.S. Federal Government.
The Court’s integrity as a discussion point is no longer on the table. Bitch McConnell and his treasonous senate compatriots have seen to that. Chief Justice John Roberts once rebuked President Trump’s partisan view of the courts by insisting that “we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges” Nice sentiment if only it were true. Naiveté on the part of a Chief Justice seems so last century.
Now it’s time to pack that mutherfucker and get down to business. I don’t mean even it up. NO – PACK THAT MUTHERFUCKER! …WIth a lopsided majority, then start gunning down every goddamned bullshyt Trumpian piece of nonsense flouted through the system in the past 4 years – and make it stick this time.
Kavanaugh Lawgic
It’s kinda like Pseudo-Science – ya know, where virus’ just go away, and pandemics round corners – stuff like that. Fratboy justice Brett eagerly took the opportunity to demonstrate his ineptitude on The Court yesterday. Posed with a question about ballot counting, the junior justice impostor referred to a non-precedent, clearly labelled as such, even a law-layman such as myself can understand. And OBTW, it was of his own making 20 years ago. Didn’t even have to waste time dreaming that one up.
The Law means FUD. Overlook oblivious harkening back (because face it – it’s NOT precedent) to his own case in 2000 explicitly disclaiming this exact scenario forseen. So we get Justass Kuntvanaugh casting “suspicion of impropriety” in an opinion based on as yet unknown future ballot counting outcomes. I guess pointing out the court’s inability to predict the future seems pointless dissent when the obvious course has already been set.
One thing we can fearfully be certain of beyond any shadow of a doubt is fratboy here has his tounge far enough up the fuckwit‘s ass to taste his breakfast. Not knowing the law or his job is just a sideshow for this sycophant. Lawdy, what drivel may we expect from Ms Amy?!
It Bears Repeating
This came up a couple years ago when I started wrestling with the worst bout of political cognitive dissonance ever. The problem then appeared as a vacuum – couldn’t see it at all, much less understand it. How could this happen? Talk about frustration. I’ve noticed that most of the times I’m having trouble and getting frustrated with some mechanical gizmo it’s simply due to not being able to see what I’m doing. More light, better angle and ultimately the right tool almost always leads to success.
In retrospect, we are far more fortunate than most to have the tools and plenty of light to get the job done. At this juncture in our country’s political journey, it’s time to try a new angle. Conservatism as an ideology is not inherently wrong or bad – except when it leverages the wrong angle. The job’s not getting done and people are dying by the thousands because of it. Here’s the light:
Guess I Forgot Ratcliffe
Where do these people come from? Guy gets rejected for lying on his bio and still ends up DNI (acting?) a couple years later? Then this clown has the temerity to participate in partisan election meddling in his official DNI capacity. I’m pretty sure there’s no reason left to trust anything coming out of the government at this point.
Think I’ll spend a little time doing some Ratcliffe review before posting his newly embellished bio intro here…
Difference?
Go ahead and read the long version with details and facts, if you feel the need. To me, there is really no difference, with one glaring exception not mentioned by the Sun’s political pundits: They are both lyin’ politicians, but only one appears to hold the critically important attribute of good personal judgement. For all the salacious misdeeds and arguably mistaken and flawed policy initiatives attached to both candidate’s political histories, only 1 – Gardner – has demonstrated the willingness to acquit a treasonous criminal, and support the oil and gas industry with a deceitful revenue-sharing program to burn the planet disguised as an environmental success.
Cory Gardner can suck my dick and choke on it.
The Pointy-Haired President
Scott Adams guided my professional endeavors for decades and continues nailing it to this day:
We have prison cells awaiting these fuckers and several close cronies:
The FIRST thing most knowledgeable people consider when it comes to digital crime/forensics of this nature is something called “chain of custody.” Without it, no crime could possibly be proven. The YouTube video of Giuliani’s interview is basically just a long explanation about why there is no chain of custody. Case closed. These people are just vile scum.
Too Big to Rig, Too Real to Steal
Glen’s turning the damn phrase on that one. Let’s hope he’s right. And Beau as usual, pointed out the obvious most oblivious overlook. Declaring ignorance on a topic like Qanon while heading the FBI tracking them along with other known dangerous, radical splinter groups like the Widmer gang, is a patently stupid lie on it’s face.
But then again, it’s Trump struggling to fit into his new role as a politician. Maybe he’s going for the benchmark definition on that one?
Worst Fire Season Ever
This group of blazes was one of the first to start, now grown into the biggest ever. It’s been unseasonably warm right through October so far. Still can’t believe Trump had the unmitigated gall to say/do that in California. This one has burned largely un-contained for over 2 months. Flaring here right outside 5712 into the 600’s on the PM2.5 scale today.
You’ve seen it with your own eyes living out here in the West. The only flora left is near shrinking waterways or where people are watering it. Natural growth is slowly dying out – and burning. What we have here, is the epitome of willful ignorance, leading the country:
Breathtaking Hypocrisy
It was unclear to me exactly what sort of hypocrisy we were talking about, but Mike reliably attributed it. Extreme hyperbole sufficient to illustrate the dastardly depth of this bastard’s deeds escapes me. It’s times like this I wish Hell was a real thing true believers faced, because if so, Moscow Mitch has a front row seat reserved with his name on it.
This Is What You Get
…for a Trump SCOTUS nomination. Last time it was a beer-swilling womanizer, now it’s a bible-thumpin’ baby factory that cannot even recite the 5 points in the 1st article of the document defining the job. It was a softball question from Sasse(R). The Trump Presidency is no longer just your typical travesty. It’s the indelible stain of greed and hubris on a lifetime of American Democracy – maybe the last.
Female members of the human race should be worried.
Dangerous Incompetence
I’ve been harping on it for more than a year. Took awhile, but high-profile expert opinion has finally become public. The Journal is historically a-political, but apparently feels compelled to speak up after a bloviating fuckwit turns a public heath crisis into a mass murder weapon. Still waiting for paperwork out of the Hague.
The journal’s editors write: “The death rate in this country is more than double that of Canada, exceeds that of Japan, a country with a vulnerable and elderly population, by a factor of almost 50, and even dwarfs the rates in lower-middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, by a factor of almost 2000.”
Fucking Cee Goddamned Dee Cee, my ass.
America's Dumbest Criminals
People saw this coming years ago. The cultural rot gnawing at this country’s frayed edges gets interesting when the man starts overtly encouraging it. I bet the guys at the FBI regional office had 3 different office pools on what stupid shyt these imbeciles were getting up to.
A Mind Boggling Mix
Being an information broker can be a confusing endeavor at times. I’m one of those people a mile wide and an inch deep in most places. But recently I ran across somebody to help me out in one area I’ve seemed to be on the wrong side of at times: the Law.
I could once again throw out the, wait for it… “unprecedented” nature of this surreality. Instead, I’ll just embed a few genuine facts and un-retouched photos in a YouTube stream and hope the words get through to some boggled minds. Mr. Kirschner is clearly experienced, insightful and authentic. In a world full of alternate facts, ALWAYS consider the source.
