The music industry always harbored many Marijuana reformers, users and others who were a really big part of the developing recreational drug culture in the U.S. Weed’s creativity stimulation has been a self-evident benefit seen throughout the music industry since it’s inception. The fact that Wilie is still around doing great speaks volumes.
It's This Bad
I re-posted my regularly scheduled anti-VA rhetoric a month ago after getting an appeal notification from the judge reviewing my claim. Until now, I had not even considered a 3rd lane in the ongoing healthcare debacle known as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. They appear to be equal opportunity fuckers, caring as much about their employees as they do about the vets they serve.
So it’s official: The vets, the claims people and now the whole damn employee’s union in general belong to the big VA Victim’s Club. Fuck you WIlkie and your incompetent gang of medically-challenged administrators.
What Sort of Deranged Sociopath…
…Tries to take away 20 million people’s healthcare in the middle of the biggest pandemic in modern history?
Demonstration Training
We’re gonna need a little more attention to detail in this protest business. The first thing is to understand you cannot fight the police – or the national guard or anyone else for that matter. But you can “win” the day, with a little planning.
Couple points to remember: #1 – If the police think this country belongs to their overlords and wish to engage in brutality and suppression tactics, they are liable to get hurt as well. It’s a legal doctrine called mutual combat. Of course the government narrative implies they are right and protesters are wrong, depending on where you believe any legal authority comes from. So just remember, weapons are cheap, readily available and DISPOSABLE. Nobody wants to get done for killing a cop, because that story’s ending is already written – just like it’s been a foregone conclusion for all their brutally murdered victims over the years.
#2 – Pick your battles. Confrontations tend to happen dynamically and unpredictably. The opportunity to defend yourself effectively will arise at the time and place of your choosing. If the authorities expect to show up, they will be dressed and ready, and your options will be very limited. Surprise, surprise, what have we here… Based on yesterday’s Federal Police Reform discussions in Congress, it’s going to take some dead cops to bring this to a satisfactory conclusion.
This one may be the most egregious in modern CO times – and they did NOTHING. Until they get the law right in terms of police tactics and accountability, I declare this nation’s police force as a whole, fair game on the mean streets of the good ‘ol USA.
Raging Pandemic Response Plan
SuperSpreader Engaged
While politically-concerned pundits revel in the low turnout, the epidemiologists cringe. I pity Oklahoma, and hope few hardcore MAGAs from Colorado made the 500 mile trip east.
Anyone still with Trump at this point is lost. Now many more will die, following their signed waiver not to complain about it. This will sadly, become a very hot topic over the next few weeks…
“We saved millions of lives. Now it’s time, get back to work,” Trump said.
“Won’t Back Down, Huh?” Don’t worry. You will be taken down – systematically, thoroughly and with with appropriate consequences.
“Don’t kid yourself. Americans are dumb as shit. Yes, collectively all people are dumb as shit, but Americans have a particular stupidity based on our culture and long history of thinking we know everything, not giving a shit about other people, and no one having the right to tell us what to do.” -MSmith537
The Supreme Court Doesn’t Like Me?
I have news for this mutherfucker: A precipitous drop in the number of people who “like” you is about to manifest when a number of others come calling at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They will not be on the official visitor agenda.
Good luck at the rally, tommorow!
(Update) Thanks to Mike Littwin for the well thought summary up to this point. My 12-pack of bottled rage is making rational analysis increasingly difficult.
The End Game has Begun
I did not really believe Trump would have the temerity to attempt what has transpired during his administration. The overtly cruel and heinous manner in which this buffoon has shattered all norms of acceptable behavior for a Commander in Chief is nothing less than shocking and regrettable. It the final analysis, Democracy will prevail and Trump will be in jail.
Knowing public attention to the truth was always his Achilles heel, and full well how manipulating the media from all angles was the propaganda birthright in his warped vision of a new era in Western authoritarianism was well, let’s just say stupid. He got away with it for too long, supported by sycophants with compatible aspirations.
Too bad for him it’s not working. Unfortunately it’s gone way too far before rational, honest people were able to do anything about it. The good news is, light of day is now shining brightly on the Traitor-in-Chief’s little den of iniquity called the White House. Time to clean house. I think there is time for another impeachment. Should go pretty quick this time. That would be an impressively unique legacy for the cocksucker. But we still have the debacle deciding what risk is less: Wait for the election, or do it now. He’s not gonna go quietly, either way. Hopefully enough of his sycophants are sick of him by now.
How's Your Cancer Risk?
A big factor in that equation these days might be your proximity to the fracking industry. Glad my Mom moved out of the place at 961 before those new brine tanks on the hilltop across the road got into production. Can I expect to find my old neighborhood hopelessly contaminated soon? Guess I’ll need to add a Geiger counter to my toolbag.
“But in the excitement of this boom there is little mention of the pipes, pumps, and filters in these plants that will become coated with radioactivity. Or of the fountain of radioactive brine and drill cuttings spewing forth from wells. Or of the workers being exposed, the land being contaminated.
One question I ask these companies, says Smith, the New Orleans lawyer, ‘What have you done to go out and find all the radioactive waste you have dumped all over the United States for the past 120 years?’ And the answer is nothing.”
Like Trea Said…
The man speaks the truth. We have an alarming lack of that little commodity in society these days. But the score is still not settled. How many Wendy’s = a Police Murder?
Remember the UPS Truck?
Black males, despite being central to the problem, aren’t the only ones getting needlessly killed by the cops. Whatever happened to the nutbags who perpetrated this violent, appalling affront to society? Here’s a new idea for ongoing police reorgs across the country: No more high speed chases. How about no more chases at all? Roads are dangerous enough as it is.
The military has great success with overhead ISR. Cops are all about militarization, right? Get with the fuckin’ program. How many drones you think you can get for the price of one fully equipped police cruiser? Even better, start earmarking some of these dumbasses to sit behind a computer screen with a joystick instead of a steering wheel with a gun. Maybe they will learn something.
Two Big Problems
Healthcare and cops. What do these seemingly universal, mundane societal institutions have in common when it comes to the “problem” category these days? It is pretty simple when you step back and focus the optics. They are two of the secret societies Kennedy warned us about.
Law Enforcement and Healthcare are insulated from oversight and protected from regulation and legal liability by a system of laws and government designed not for the benefit of the citizenry, but only for the LE/Med operator’s financial gain and grip on power. Municipal security and healthy people are merely secondary considerations. The real purpose of the public-facing houses of law enforcement and healthcare is to form a facade hiding the fat, dumb and happy mayors, doctors, insurance executives and politicians raping society for every penny they can extract.
I find it particularly disturbing how the army of clinicians, patrol officers, nurses, administrators, clerks and other worker bees do not seem to understand how badly they are being exploited. Just look at the budgets. What is the first thing that happens when they get cut? “Follow the Money” was never a more appropriate adage illustrating the degree to which our society has degraded into a financial fuck-all in terms of what the police and doctors are doing. Police get big chunks of the general spending in many jurisdictions, but their budgets pale in comparison to the healthcare money being spent on among other things, cleaning up their messes.
…with the unions and politicians feeding off each other. What makes the lawyers piles of money with malpractice lawsuits backed up for years and allows people like George Floyd to be murdered in the street? Healthcare and cops. It is a mindset purposely designed that way and we are doing it to ourselves. And remember, you are approximately 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a healthcare provider than anyone wielding a gun. The silver lining to this pandemic is laying bare long standing problems. Will we as a society have the wherewithal to fix them?
Apparently, WWII is not Over
Either that, or the Russians want to go over it again. Maybe the plan is to just paint red stars on our tanks and jets after enough people go down with Covid.
“Security experts have called the withdrawal plan a “gift” to Russia as it comes amid serious tensions between Washington and Moscow over arms control, Moscow’s support for separatists in Ukraine, the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and other issues.”
Helsinki. Ukraine. Facebook. Crimea. Mueller. Connect the goddamn dots. At some point, you have to start wondering if the dots were already connected before the 2016 election. Either we cannot seem to recognize and deal with the person drawing the lines, or it’s been over since 2016, and we just haven’t been notified.
Dickhead Made a Deal…
…with the Devil – namely Trump. It was pretty obvious the Troll-in-Chief had a special little boner for Zuck, what with the White House visits, and all. Why wouldn’t he? Anybody willing to allow his lies and hate speech to be broadcast with impunity makes a great ally for the government of Twit(ter). Now the Facebrat boy who made a fortune selling the personal information of his clients has a very unpopular position to defend. Good luck, fuckface.
“It’s crystal clear today that leadership refuses to stand with us,” Brandon Dail, a Facebook engineer, tweeted about the call.” Seems like alot of that going around lately.
Fuck the Police and their GOP Overlords
110lb. girl. No links to stories. Why am I not seeing alot of minority people in that crowd? Must be outside agitators. Everything you need to know is right below:
At least he is following new procedural guidance to avoid using the knee-on-throat tactic in public. Apart from that, it might as well be a re-run of Floyd’s episode in Boston with another arguably inappropriate victim. At least he didn’t kill her. Fuck this shyt, and anybody who supports it – especially the Nazis, Confederates, Evangelicals, their inbred redneck legions of vapid, soulless voters and anyone who thinks Trump is/was a good idea now. Want some more?
Late Update: Independent autopsy significantly disagrees with the county’s preliminary report – just like the initial report of “outsiders” was a lie. Mutherfuckers need to start understanding the days of getting away with this shyt are long gone in the era of smartphones and unfettered communications. I guess some people are just fucking stupid.
Outside Agitators?
Damn straight. Hell, I’d go myself if I could, goddamn agitator that I am. Those “outside agitators” sure are well organized – able to synchronize mass protests nationwide. Must be some small group of outside agitators, right? I’m outside this. I’m agitated. Actually, I’m fucking livid. Agitate that.
What is wrong with the media narrative I keep hearing? Things are going terribly wrong, so it must be somebody else’s fault – some shadowy “other” group, nobody can identify, right? I am so goddamn sick and tired of the government and media trying to tell me what to be afraid of and who to hate. Once again, Mike Littwin sums it up well, but I do have one nitpick there: Vandalism and arson DO prove something. They prove that the racial divide, multiplied by the political divide + SARSco-V2 = time to wake up and pull your fucking heads out. You know who you are.
Fuck ’em all – especially Trump, the primary perpetrator of this inanity.
People know who the real enemy is, and Beau remembers where the pitchforks are. Like Trea said – fix this shyt, or learn to breathe smoke.
