Musings of a minor megalomaniac
We had nice dinner and evening with neighbors Marianne and Craig. Craig baked a delicious turkey and we spent the night watching football. This year I got to brag about my Conference-Leading Volleyball star, awaiting new nails below:
Francie will be flying out early tomorrow morning. She expects to finish 1 semester early, with Fall 2020 next year being her last at Plymouth State.
Despite being the most banged-up I can ever remember, with an un-drafted rookie 3rd string QB at the helm, Pittsburgh is making yet another playoff run. The NFL makes these schedule changes towards the end of the season to highlight the hot teams and games with playoff implications.
Steelers participated in the biggest, most expensive (in terms of fines levied – $700k) brawl in NFL history with the Brown 2 weeks ago. This week, the Browns learned their lesson:
“He adds that ethical conduct and the military justice system that enforces it are hallmarks of the U.S. military.”
This is what happens when a corrupt businessman steps in where he doesn’t belong. I only hope plans are in motion to catch it before it’s too late. This guy is a total piece of shit, just like the cocksucker that exonerated him.
“Womanizer” appears to be an important Trump employee skill. Goes right along with “Big Budget to Purchase Job not Qualified for.” Why would anyone be surprised at this point?
“All three women said Mr Sondland retaliated against them professionally after they rejected his sexual advances – by verbally abusing them at their workplace, reneging on a promised investment, and withdrawing offers of professional introductions.”
“Trump on Tuesday denied that he sent Giuliani to Ukraine to push for the investigations, though his comments contradict past statements he and Giuliani have made.”
Well, yes they can! They just make it up as they go along. One-after-another lie comes to light so the story changes. The scary part is voters don’t care – as long as they get to exercise their Schadenfreude. The Russians fooled ’em in 2016, and these cocksuckers keep twittering away at it today.
I was able to get Francie picked up at the airport yesterday, right in-between 2 big storms hammering us this week. We don’t expect to get hit hard here around Denver with this 2nd one, but it’s shaping up to be a real doozy, state-wide.
“Jennifer Stark, a meteorologist with the NWS out of Pueblo, stated that Colorado may be looking at snow totals closer to six feet in higher elevations.”
Ever wonder why religion and politics are generally considered taboo small-talk topics?
“Five Vatican employees remain suspended, including AIF director Tommaso di Ruzza. Domenico Giani, Vatican security chief and the pope’s bodyguard, resigned later over the leak of a document related to the investigation.”
These cocksuckers are ALL corrupt to one degree or another. The only difference is who or what they are exploiting. Anyone wanna take a guess where they got the money to buy that London property? Maybe they’re getting real estate advice from the White House these days?
The U.S. Justice Dept. responded to a Federal court ruling yesterday, compelling current and former administration officials to testify in the Impeachment Inquiry, with a statement of intent to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.
The Income Tax case already awaits a Justice brief to the SCOTUS. Moscow Mitch packed the court. So when the POTUS is above the law, there is no “justice.” Pretty Simple. Game over. The Russians won.
Now can we please get started on this side of the pond by taking Fuckerberg’s company and breaking it over his head? Just to start? Maybe just the Russian propaganda?
“26,000 items, which included videos, publications, social media accounts and communication channels, were flagged by authorities as being terrorist propaganda.”
People need to start connecting the dots. Fiona, from the Hill, today:
“Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country, and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did,” Hill said in her opening statement. “This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves,” she said.
Terrorism, electioneering, fraud. It’s a WONDERFUL Internet.
It became patently obvious every time he opened his mouth – a corrupt politician, caught in the act, spinning bullshit so fast the dizziness blocked his brain. What a fucking piece-o-shyt.
“In the lawsuit, Nunes’s attorneys wrote that “the ‘trusted’ source of CNN’s fake news story was a man indicted by the United States Government, charged with multiple Federal crimes – a man who faces years in a Federal penitentiary – Lev Parnas.”
One of your buddies? Whodathunkit.
Here was my input to the GOP reps from CO, transmitted to their black-hole inboxes on a daily basis:
“I’m not going to tell a story and urge you to agree with me like your buddies to the right of the impeachment inquiry do. I wouldn’t even presume to ask you a legitimate question. I simply urge you to throw your political career down the toilet along with the Trump gang, if you actually believe it is OK for the leader of the free world to openly engage in political corruption while getting people killed in the process.”
“The Republican Party is a National Disgrace. Please salvage any dignity (if any) left for this country.”
Congratulations on turning a long-time conservative/Republican into a non-affiliated non-voter. You people are a bunch of 2-faced liars. Blame your vile, crime-ridden administration on the media. What a bunch of fuckwits.
“‘We attempted to subpoena the whistleblower…’ said the leader of this miserable gang of charlatans. You people are lawyers for the most part, right? Hard to tell in this Lawyering 101 Impeachment tutorial Titled “What not to do in ANY Legal Proceeding.” The stratospheric level of embarrassment must be getting uncomfortable. The way they turn their backs on the cameras at every recess speaks for itself. Do you actually care or not? Let’s wait and see how that goes…”
“No respect for anything or anybody. That is what I see coming from the highest office in our land. It is reprehensible and disgusting. No elected official supporting this behavior and abhorrent affront to our nation will ever look me in the eye ever again. It would behoove you to recognize the fact that some people ARE paying attention. This isn’t a Facebook meme-fest anymore.”
“If it wasn’t for the 2016 election topic, a Trump defense, no matter how contrived, could of course, be potentially plausible. Innocent until proven guilty, right? But you won the goddamn election, for chrissakes. Are people’s brains screwed in backwards there these days? Sounds like a great cover story with Guilliani as your go-to guy, tho. He was after all, the 1st one to blurt it out on national TV. Fucking idiots, running the country.”
“What sort of cretin starts a line of questioning asking if the witness “…accessed any other person’s computer without consent or authorization?” …in total absence of evidence or even suggestion to that effect from anyone, anywhere ever? The same type of person who asks a long, contrived series of questions leading to some unknown person’s name? That joker JJ? Buddy of yours? You did some MIB light-pen trick to blank the term whistleblower completely out of their minds right? How else can someone be so stupid? If it wasn’t so seriously treasonous, I’d be laughing my ass off.”
“‘No one claims to be a victim…'” said the leader of the GOP inquiry hit squad. Was that his doppelganger attending day 2? The insidious corruption permeating the Republican party from the top down is now obviously, publicly apparent. Might want to start thinking about a plan to re-align your political future.”
“I’m convinced. How much damning evidence will it take you? JJ really stepped on it today. Still out of the question? According to Mr. Conoway, “This is a very divisive issue within our country.” Ya think? Funny how the less divisive it becomes, the more truth comes out. Alignment with anything Trump-flavored will not go well, for you or anyone else, politically, overseas, at home, anywhere.”
“Trump couldn’t care less about the simple fact that there are good people working hard for him all over the world. Was he completely unaware of their openly transparent and strictly controlled job functions within the diplomatic corps of his own administration? Or just that stupid? Just that brazen, regardless of anything anyone else says, does, or knows? #3 knocks on the Article 25 door, just a heads up. You ARE the judge. Trump, the Guilliani bunch, most of the cabinet and staff including the vice, are clearly shameless, moronic criminals. I’ll be watching for your viewpoint.”
“Every time Nunes started taking I got a good laugh. How can rational human beings sit there and listen to this nonsense? It’s beyond the pale. of course “IT’S OBVIOUS THEY ARE TRYING TO TOPPLE THE PRESIDENT!” His Caps – not mine. They are getting feisty. I hope the jig is up by now. Trump is a dangerous, demented, narcissistic sociopath with a limited vocabulary and serious intellectual challenges. Anything less than getting behind the toppling effort from you is unacceptable to me.”
“‘I Googled it.'” Was Morrison’s response when asked how he first became aware of Hunter Biden’s connection to Burisma. As your pals crow in the background about Democratic-flavored 2016 U.S. electioneering corruption. Big flying, fucking conspiracies and secrets everywhere, right? On Google? It’s just preposterous from every angle.”
“‘We have a timeline problem…'” said the ninny Nunes. No, what he has is a timeline with many problems. So does the Republican party. They asked alot of questions that didn’t get answers. I thought somebody’s head was gonna spin clear off the way they tried to spin that narrative. Spinning this crap effectively with anything but the Facebook memes that put our Scumbag-in-Chief in office seems ludicrous. Surprised we didn’t see some of those on the visual aids there. Take awhile to get coordination with the Russkies working on that?”
“‘I don’t remember if I got it from Mr. Guilliani or President Trump.'” Said Sondland, the stooge. You just can’t make this shyt up. Sondland plays dumb. Big surprise – he looks the part. Then JJ jumped in and continues harping on things that didn’t happen. It’s no longer an alternate narrative – it’s an alternate reality. It actually became pretty entertaining watching JJ sitting up there frantically spouting bullshit.”
“Schiff seemed to sum up the intel portion pretty well. I lost count how many times he used the term “absurd.” Balls on. And Time’s up. We (the people) are not going to put up with this crap. I voted for Trump. Now I want him in handcuffs.”
I’m just getting started…
As expected, the Discogram was positive. So, under my particular circumstances, we’ll open it up, clean out the mess, screw it back together with some metal pins, cross our fingers and wait a few more months. Longest goddamn hip replacement EVER. Here’s a little tutorial for those interested in more details about what I’m now facing.
And also as expected, my FOIA request(s) for information about the case turned up next to nothing, save one important exception. Dr. Sylvestri responded to my initial complaint – just not to me – stating he saw nothing wrong. I bet he doesn’t see much wrong with the gaps in VA healthcare that stole a year from my life (so far) and nobody seems to want to talk about, either. They hurt me. Bad. Over a long period of time, and it’s not over yet.
Early on in this fiasco, my general perception of the way I was being treated suggested to my paranoid intuition, that I was being deliberately deceived. It was just too blatantly unbelievable. Turns out they are simply oblivious – right up and down the chain, including everyone in between. Professional healthcare providers – oblivious to the suffering of one of their patients. Now I’m not sure which is worse. Maybe employee apathy isn’t real high on the radar.
I bet there are vets like me out there who might have given up. I’m suicidal, for chrissakes! Now I get it – the “VA thing,” that is. So they do studies to try and figure it out, then give you a phone number to call. Brilliant. It’s not working. My only question to the VA overlords might be: Why was someone like me sitting here on a badly torn L4-5 annulus writing blog posts about it all year instead of going to the head of the line for whatever they needed the minute something like this crops up? A satisfactory answer to that would be worth quite a bit to the next collateral damage victim.
The answer is right here, and I figured it out back in September. Some things you can’t put a price on. Epilogue coming in Chapter X – Formal Feedback – written down the way I used to give it face-to-face in the Air Force. It’s not going to be pretty, but pretty much exactly how it appears in some of the AF records “I” wrote.
When the POTASS starts tweeting about people like this, I feel like he is Tweeting to me.
“It’s a tangible example of just how locked in most Americans are in their partisan positions…”
The polls say people aren’t paying attention and probably just don’t care. Big fucking newsflash. Once these cretins get their head filled with Facebook propaganda, the minds snap shut like a big bear-trap, and the bias confirmation commences. And spreads.
I have to give the criminal electioneering spooks credit for finding the social media vector in the minds of the world’s least stable populations. Stoking the collective consciousness of an entire cross-section of a population with lies, bigotry and hate was a brilliant stroke against a society already full of it. Let’s hope today’s cellphone warriors don’t become tomorrow’s pitchfork wielding mobs. Our government is not the only thing being robbed. It’s a very sad time for our Republic.
