Careful not to cut off your noses to spite your faces.

That POS hunk o’ concrete you just wrote a blank check for is looking like it needs a little nose-hair trimming. Why not spend the money on something nice/new? Oh right, forgot – it’s not about a war memorial, it’s about Christianity.

The Congressional Research Service just released a study showing Cannabis has no effect on driver impairment. Myself and surely millions of others could have told you that a long time ago.

 “There is as yet no scientifically demonstrated correlation between levels of THC and degrees of impairment of driver performance, and epidemiological studies disagree as to whether marijuana use by a driver results in increased crash risk.”

This is what happens when we ASSume: States all over the country are arresting and prosecuting people for an imaginary crime. We ASSume that, because there is limited knowledge on the topic due to decades of illegitimate suppression, we’ll just keep it right alongside our favorite vice alcohol, for traffic enforcement purposes. Brilliant. I bet some southern states even still have a racial clause about it hiding somewhere in their punitive traffic codes.

Right-to-Life (RTL) = Tyranny. More and more of these terms, phrases and ideas generally speaking, are becoming synonymous with Conservatism and the GOP in this country. Extremists in the RTL camp believe Society and Civilization may only be preserved by quashing Science. Of course this is entirely true from their perspective in the medieval mindset. Anti-Vaxxers? Seriously? Social control and tyranny are the hallmarks of religion, and Christianity is the foundational bedrock of the Republican party. These idiots must be extracted from the political process, or we are doomed as a nation and society.

Christianity. Government. Separation of Church and State. Freedom. Abortion. Trump.

What do these terms have in common? Taken together with their interwoven fabric of fundamentally moronic asshats, they suggest the biggest hypocritical fraud to ever smear the human condition on this planet. I will not vote in another U.S. election until after these cocksuckers back off and take their rightful place in the dustbin of history. They may have won the Crusades, but the next one will be different.

Religious charlatan overseers amass billions in wealth from the financial support of armies of mindless cretins, enjoying tax-free status with devout leaders seeded throughout all levels and branches of government. Anyone believing this state of affairs reflects freedom and religion’s separation from state matters is truly daft. These assholes get away with making laws controlling women’s bodies with no accountability to the taxpayers funding their salaries because gawd told them so. That’s been the plan all along. Let the people vote with the illusion of free will, but regulate any and every thing possible to the benefit of the church(es) and businesses paying with votes and campaign contributions.

Fuck Christianity and to hell with the fuckwit legislators who support it and their medieval mindset. These people are scary. Political engineering needs to come out of the shadows of corporate America, including the churches. Stop talking out one side of your mouth, while denying everything you are SUPPOSED to stand for out the other. And stay the fuck away from our daughter’s bodies.

This is what these cocksuckers do. Paraphrased for the oblivious… Facebook: “Yeah it’s bad, but not hurting anything, especially our sensation-driven bottom line.”

I maintained a basically inactive account over the years, just in case for what, I don’t know. Until today.

 

I’ve really been enjoying the current U.S. political situation for the sheer entertainment value it creates, and look forward to even more fun if/when impeachment proceedings begin. But it might be a nice respite if, after this chapter is finished, some jackholes reevaluate their general disposition:

How did Randall Munroe see this coming so many years ago?

It took three generations, and I cannot believe I’m still putting this stuff under the Politics category. But that’s the way it goes when religious nutbags and greedy capitalists get together to run a country. it’s too late for the millions of people (almost half a million DEAD in the U.S. alone since 1999) with lives ruined or lost at the hands of these bastards.

Then look at the other side of the same coin with another few million in prison or otherwise unfairly subjected to collateral damage in the war on drugs. What was the long-term plan? Keep the dopers in the closet and the stoners in jail? Jesus-H-Fucking Christ.

All that’s really needed now is to free the finances. Since when was money not the “big thing” behind any controversy? Then it’s time to put that gang of fuckwits known as the Sacklers in jail.  Business dishonesty is de-rigeur.  But the old caveat-emptor concept doesn’t cut it when people conspire to profit from evil. The cocksuckers were selling addiction and death to anyone able to pay.

Never thought I’d get to a position, where I can just say and do pretty much as I please, without fear of reprisal. It’s probably one of the few benefits of getting older, which most agree, generally sucks. Last month I went on an Air Force Magazine publishing wake-up crusade. Before that it was the electric utility pricing scam. This month I finally got fed up with yet another Colorado government agency and gave them a heads up. I just sent this to every Colorado representative and senator:

Full text here. Curious to see what, if any response I get. I imagine an inbox full of automatically-generated replies will be the extent of it.  Congratulations Colorado!  We somehow managed to come up with a program that wastes both tax revenue AND consumer dollars at the same time.

Answer: Because our government is impotent to affect corporate commerce in meaningful ways apart from tacitly supporting the criminally derelict activities of greedy wealth-sucking companies. The previous post illustrates one of the best examples of just how well that’s working out. I’ve been ready to start an active anti-FB campaign for awhile now. This might just be the tipping point for me. Don’t think FB themselves had anything to do with exposing this story, either. That says something people with their eyes and ears open might understand.

Illicit FB activity has been allowed for years, while they knew it was taking place and did nothing to stop it. Under cover of the family-friendly image everyone knows and loves, this insidious gang of greedy bastards has tapped directly into the dark side of human evil on many levels. It needs to be stopped. They know it, we know it and the government knows it. But FB achieved “Too Big to Fail” status, and the money numbers are too high. Corruption and scandal ensues.

Do yourselves and the world in general a favor, and DUMP FACEBOOK!

The Sacklers are probably the worst of the greedy cocksuckers making millions from selling opiates. At least Insys has been dealt with. I mentioned these mutherfuckers in a post 2 years ago, where they actively lobbied against Cannabis.

I remain thoroughly flabbergasted at how the government allowed the Pharma industry to basically addict the whole goddamned country to one of the most dangerous drugs out there, while still to this day, maintaining prohibition against one of the safest. Idiots.

Who can say they do not occasionally get frustrated with a telephone answering service? How much time do you waste listening to option picks? “Press 1 for existing customers…” etc. Of course there should be options for sorting this out, depending on the circumstances. But today I learned it can also be a completely stupid exercise in government waste. This morning I discovered the most blatant abuse of this time-wasting nonsense you could possibly imagine at the Colorado DMV.

Call their number and you are presented with the usual menu of choices. I needed to replace my Drivers License and option #2 seemed appropriate, to which I was greeted by 9 more choices, none of which seemed quite right, so I picked “0” as instructed, for an operator. Afterwards, I got to thinking that stuff all sounds pretty similar. Wonder what happens if I select different choices? Oddly enough, at least in this particular case, it doesn’t matter! Option 1 took me to Samantha, the same lady I spoke to a few minutes earlier, to which I quickly said, “Oh I forgot to ask about the appointment thing…” Guess who answers option #2? “Sorry, wrong number.” and #3 and so on. She immediately hung up on my 4th call. It was early Monday morning, so I got through quickly each time. Apparently most people with government documentation issues don’t jump right on that 1st thing Monday morning.

I wonder how much the state taxpayers paid to get that system installed and programmed? Regardless, if you don’t have a proper application for it, then WHY? A quick hold message followed by muezack would be so much less unpleasant. Even at that point, they loop the muezack at annoyingly frequent intervals to interrupt with more nonsense. Why did option #2 on the 1st menu not take me straight to Samantha? Because logic and dare I say common sense, seem to be sorely lacking in alot of things I notice these days.

Free speech – sounds like a great idea, right? Most recognize the old reference to free speech’s obvious limitation: Yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. That’s a fairly obvious, hard line to draw. But it’s on the extreme end of a spectrum that includes alot of language between that and saying good morning your SO. When did the 1st amendment become the protector of lies and deceit?
