Somebody please wake me up at 12:01 EST on January 20, 2021. Until then, like Rip Van Winkle, I’m going dark. Like nearly everybody else on planet earth, I’ve seen quite enough of the total shit show that was 2020!!! There are three more weeks left until Joe Biden becomes President of these United States. In the meanwhile, we are left with nearly 350,000 of our fellow Americans DEAD from a pandemic that our current President has not only understated and lied about for nearly a full year now and a Congress led by Republikan(t)s who don’t see fit to bail out millions of desperate individuals and families, instead playing politics and claiming fiscal responsibility after running up the largest budget deficit in history. The same Republikan(t)s who now intend to dispute the votes of EIGHTY million citizens by staging a destined to fail attempt to further denigrate the election results and our very democracy to suit their political agenda. In the meanwhile, Trump plays golf. Our illustrious Senate Majority Leader, MOSCOW Mitch McConnell has deemed that retaining his power by winning the Georgia run off election over Democratic challengers is more important than legislating desperately needed aid to the states. He believes protecting his corporate sponsors from liability is more important than stopping the forceful eviction of tens of thousands of families. He is a reprehensible self serving politician who absolutely refuses to do the will of his own constituency but rather pursue his own agenda. His Senate colleagues, themselves collectively the most cowardly and subservient group in history have stood idly by for the last four years while Trump has torn our democracy apart bit by bit and intend to send him out with one last hurrah in the form of this farcical contention of a fraudulent election. Then we have the ill named “Operation Warp Speed” vaccine roll out. Just a few short weeks ago, V.P. Mike “I’M A LITTLE DENSE” Pence stood in front of Americans and promised twenty million doses would be distributed by the end of 2020…to date just over TWO million have actually been distributed while thousands continue to die every single day. Trump blames it on the states, the same blame game he attempted when he refused to invoke the Defense Production Act to procure PPE, testing and tracing capabilities and medical equipment way back in the spring while he was telling us all the virus would “magically disappear in the spring”. The military general who is in charge of distribution seems completely in over his head, just like the rest of the so called “task force” headed by Pence supposedly responsible for handling the pandemic and our national response (or total lack thereof!!!). I just watched a fantastic show on Netflix entitled “Death to 2020” and would highly recommend it as we bring this dumpster fire of a year to a close. It articulates the year in a way I could never express, putting a touch of ironic humor into a year we would all soon forget. I myself lost my mother to Covid-19 this past year and am approaching a milestone birthday…seventy years young. Instead of watching the ball drop in Times Square at midnight, I think I’ll watch U Tube video of the downtown Nashville explosion on Christmas morning. It seems an appropriate way to send this horrible year out. In the meanwhile, wake me up when it’s all over on January 20th so we can ALL start to put our lives back together again after four years of enduring the absolute shit show named Donald Trump and his pathetic collection of stooges and sycophants.

With only thirty days left until President Elect Biden takes the oath of office things continue to spiral wildly out of control in the Oval Office, two items in particular cause for not only alarm but concern for the very security of our nation. First the massive cyber attack perpetrated by the Russians against half a dozen or more government agencies as well as private companies like Microsoft and other contractors. On Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a statement pointed the finger squarely at Russia and the White House was fully prepared to coo berate his comments until Donald Trump intervened, blocking release of the statement. Then on Saturday, he tweeted the following: "The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control. Russia, Russia, Russia is the priority chant when anything happens because Lamestream is, for mostly financial reasons, petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!).” "There could also have been a hit on our ridiculous voting machines during the election, which is now obvious that I won big, making it an even more corrupted embarrassment for the USA," he added, echoing his claims that widespread voter fraud and irregularities kept him from winning a second term. Once again, for inexplicable reasons that need to be investigated ASAP, Trump is in complete denial of the Russian attack on our country and attempting to give his BFF Putin cover. This is a repetitive pattern that goes all the way back to the 2016 campaign when Trump’s associates actively solicited Russian help in winning the election, including Michael Flynn who became National Security Advisor and was indicted for lying to the FBI and sent to prison. Then in Helsinki his incredible performance of subservience to the murderous Russian strongman was on full display for the entire world to witness. And now, with the Russians literally launching a full scale cyber invasion of our country, Trump once again does absolutely nothing but defer and deflect, instead trying to blame China and throwing in more wild election conspiracy theories just for good measure. His failure to respond to this latest Russian threat borders on treason. Then we get word about the Friday meeting in the Oval office involving the aforementioned convicted felon Michael Flynn (pardoned by Trump BTW) and the disgraced and discredited ambulance chaser Sidney Powell. During this meeting, it is reported that Flynn pressed Trump to declare martial law to overturn the November election results. There was also conversation regarding appointing the conspiracy theorist supreme Powell as Special Prosecutor to investigate the alleged election fraud, which has been discredited and debunked on every level imaginable. Supposedly Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump attorney Jay Sekulo shot down both absurd ideas. If true, it’s good to know that there are still a couple of sane individuals in Donald Trump’s insane insular world of fantasy. I also seriously doubt that the military leadership would even carry out such an insane order. However, the very fact that an item like this was even discussed should send chills up and down the spine of every single American who values our democracy. Senator Mitt Romney, one of the very few REPUBLIKAN(T)S who has dared speak out against Trump’s lunacy on several occasions had this to say: “It’s not going to happen. It’s going nowhere,” Romney answered. “It’s really sad in a lot of respects and embarrassing because the president could, right now, be writing the last chapter of this administration with a victory lap with regards to the vaccine”. Romney went on to say Trump “could be going out championing this story. But instead, he’s leaving Washington with conspiracy theories and things that are so nutty and loopy that people are shaking their head wondering in the world has gotten into this man? I think that is unfortunate because he has more accomplishments than this last chapter suggests he’s going to be known for.” In the meanwhile, we are approaching 325,000 DEATHS in America from Covid-19 and our President has absolutely nothing to say about it, just like the Russian attack. I’ve said it over the last six weeks or so and I’ll say it again…I honestly don’t know if America can survive another thirty days of this treasonous lunatic. His actions have put our entire republic at grave risk and still he fixates on an election he clearly lost and that his very own DHS and DOJ declared ‘the safest most secure in history”. t’s time to end this insanity by whatever means necessary, be it impeachment or the Twenty Fifth Amendment-Donald J. Trump is obviously unfit to be President and his dereliction of duty is having disastrous consequences for our nation. THE PANDEMIC
I just read on Twitter that by the time you can sing “White Christmas” FIVE more Americans will have perished from Covid-19, bringing the total to over 310,000 as of this posting. Trump says nothing, and Pence makes a big production out of getting vaccinated six months after telling us all in a WSJ op ed that it was all good, some 200,000 deaths ago. Despite the promise of another vaccine being approved, it will be literally months before everyone who wants a vaccination can get one, and by then the death toll could well top 500,000 souls. One of the on air personalities for MSNBC called for a full scale investigation into the way Trump and his administration have handled this outbreak from the very beginning, lying to America and then politicizing the entire governmental response to bolster his failing campaign. He, Pence and a number of others should be held accountable for tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. The other part of this sad saga is the utter failure of the American people to do their part to eradicate the spread of this insidious virus. Covid fatigue??? Constitutional rights??? Gimme a break-its selfishness, immaturity and complete disregard for the health and safety of others. Everybody was warned about the dangers of social gatherings for Thanksgiving, and yet over ONE MILLION people took to the skies in a single day and millions of others traveled by automobile to large family gatherings. Now look where we are. RUSSIAN ATTACK AND TRUMP'S RESPONSE In two tweets Saturday morning, Trump used his first public remarks on the cyber intrusion to dismiss the severity of the hack while asserting that the media was playing it up to hurt him. The comments directly contradicted government officials and outside experts who said the attack, which hit the departments of Energy, Homeland Security, State and Treasury and more, was one of the broadest cyberattacks in recent memory. "The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control. Russia, Russia, Russia is the priority chant when anything happens because Lamestream is, for mostly financial reasons, petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!)," Trump tweeted. "There could also have been a hit on our ridiculous voting machines during the election, which is now obvious that I won big, making it an even more corrupted embarrassment for the USA," he added, echoing his claims that widespread voter fraud and irregularities kept him from winning a second term. There you have it America…Not only does Trump manage to get in a word about how the election was stolen from him but once again our President defers to the murderous thug Putin in what amounts to a clear dereliction of duty. He is literally standing by while Russia guts the store. I say it’s TREASON. CONGRESS/COVID RELIEF BILL And still NOTHING from these self absorbed self perpetuating derelicts who can’t agree on how to give aid and comfort to literally millions of unemployed Americans who are waiting in food lines or waiting to be evicted from their homes ONE WEEK before Christmas??? And the absolute scum of the earth individuals like Senators Ron Johnson of Wisconsin or Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who have suddenly become fiscal conservatives while overseeing the largest budget and budget deficits in American history over the last four years?!? There were nearly a million NEW unemployment claims filed this past week and it’s said nearly ONE IN THREE Americans face foreclosure on their mortgages or eviction from their rental properties and these individuals who we elected to serve US do absolutely NOTHING but bicker, or hold hearings on election fraud??? Then they tell us a $600.00 stimulus check is going to solve our problems??? Remember these SOB’s when the next election rolls around. Not a single one of them deserve your vote. TOPGOLF Finally, after what seems like years, an appeals court ruled against the Grey Geezers of Hurstbourne and their ambulance chasing lawyer(s) in the case of the opening of TopGolf at Oxmoor Center. These self serving douche bags fought this battle under the guise of issues with the lighting while in reality it was all about them and their precious neighborhood to the exclusion of all those other people in this community who will benefit from this new endeavor when the Covid crisis is over, the jobs, the new businesses such as bars and restaurants in what can only be described as an area which is in desperate need of an economic shot in the arm (and a Covid vaccination!!!). I don’t doubt for a second that the attorney(s) involved with Hurstbourne will take this to the state Supreme Court to cause further delay, but I have great faith in what their decision will be if they even decide to hear the case. In the meantime, my advice to all the blue hairs and greybeards, karens and kevins in Hurstbourne….GET OVER IT!!! CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION In a normal year we would host anywhere between 15 and 25 people, family members and friends in our smallish home on Christmas Day. This year, my daughter and son in law will be visiting from Atlanta, having been in quarantine and Covid tested prior to coming. This will mark the third time since summer they have visited with us for a week each time, so they are essentially members of our pod. We had NOBODY here for Thanksgiving. I strongly urge EVERYBODY out there to follow the advice of the one guy who’s been straight with us from the beginning, Dr. Anthony Fauci and POSTPONE your celebrations until next Christmas, when hopefully everybody will have been vaccinated and we can all get back together again and enjoy our friends and families. If you need evidence to support this plea, jus look at what has transpired since Thanksgiving. (See article one above!). I hope you and yours enjoy the holiday as best you can under the circumstances we are in-I for one can’t wait to see this F*UP year end!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS. As the scope and magnitude of the Russian cyber attacks on the United States of America become more apparent and the damage done revealed to be more devastating by the hour there’s one man who has remained unbelievably and incredibly silent-our President and Commander In Chief Donald J. Trump. These attacks, which have been ongoing for at least eight months before being discovered have involved hacking into the most sensitive information of the United States government including the Department of Homeland Security, Treasury Department, Commerce Department and Department of Agriculture that we know of, and also possibly the Department of Defense and the U.S. Postal Service. There has NEVER been anything as widespread and sophisticated as these cyber attacks against our country, and our sitting POTUS does and says NOTHING?!? It's beyond dereliction of duty...it borders on treason!!! Ever since Helsinki and that disturbing display of Trump’s fealty toward Putin there have been questions about what sway that the Russian strongman holds over our President. Some wonder if Trump was caught in a Russian sexual dalliance that Putin has on tape? Others believe his financial dealings with the Kremlin and other Russian oligarchs to save his failing real estate empire are behind the blackmail. Still other believe that it is just pure admiration that Trump has for this murderous thug and the way he runs his country. He runs his country by having hit teams brutally attempt to murder his political rivals with poison then his government spokesman laughs about it. These are of course qualities that Trump admires in not just the Russian dictator, but other strongmen with horrendous records of violence and human rights violations like Kim Jung Un, MBS of Saudi Arabia and Ertogan of Turkey, each of whom have been responsible for brutal murders and the deaths of literally thousands of individuals. “Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.” I don’t how you could classify Trump’s utter refusal to address these attacks as anything less than treason as defined above. At the very minimum he is guilty of total and complete dereliction of duty. Even Congress recognizes something is horribly amiss here and is calling for immediate investigation into just what is going on. In the meanwhile the man who is Commander In Chief sits alone in the Oval Office and throws temper tantrums about a “rigged election” and threatens not to leave the White House on inauguration day. Instead of addressing a dire national security threat he tunes in all day to Newsmax and OANN to reinforce his delusions about the election and then tweets out countless attacks on those who fail to support his absurd position or countless conspiracy theories as to how the election was ‘stolen’ from him. I’ve maintained for four years now that Donald J. Trump was the gravest threat to our democracy this nation has ever faced and it is playing itself out right before our very eyes in his final days in office. Next thing we know he’ll be asking his BFF Vladimir to send troops to assist in his coup attempt. Anybody who believes this unhinged and unglued President isn’t capable of ANYTHING is sadly mistaken. His lack of attention and focus to major crisis like the pandemic has already resulted in 310,000 Americans dying-he is totally capable of ignoring this massive security breach that has completely embarrassed his administration in the same manner and we CANNOT allow that to happen. We need answers and accountability, no tone deaf silence. OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF IS MISSING IN ACTION!!! There was a time following the allied victory over Nazi Germany and Japan in WWII that our nation was referred to as the “arsenal of democracy”. The rest of the world looked at our thriving democracy and marveled, wanting to emulate our success, the material wealth of our country and the government of the people, by the people and for the people. We stood tall as one nation, proud to be called Americans. Fast forward to 2020. Our once proud nation has been reduced to warring tribal factions unable to cope with a raging pandemic that has already killed more of us than the Second WW did, watching as the ruling political party and its leaders destroy our democracy piece by piece. They have called into question the very fabric and backbone of our republic-our electoral process. The rest of the world now regards the United States as a punch line, a country in decline that cannot solve its own problems much less anybody else’s. The “arsenal of democracy” has become ‘the asshole of democracy” under the failed Presidency of Donald J. Trump and his Republikan(t) party being taken down the rabbit hole by such buffoons as MOSCOW Mitch McConnell and Kevin (JOE) McCarthy. Sadly, some seventy million Americans have chosen to drink the Kool Aid. Let’s look at what has transpired in the four short years since Trump was inaugurated. The nation has been ripped asunder by his racism, starting with Charlottesville where he defended neo Nazis and white nationalists and carrying on right through this past summer of racial unrest prompted by the murder of George Floyd. Politics have become so poisoned and tribal that our elected political leaders can’t even reach agreement on how to assist millions as they struggle with unemployment caused by the pandemic. Trump’s response to the pandemic from the very beginning dating back a year ago has directly resulted in 308,000 DEAD Americans to date. He lied about it then, directed government agencies such as the CDC to lie about it for political purposes and now ignores it altogether. Its apparent now from leaked e mails that his real strategy was to allow millions of Americans to become infected by pursuing a strategy of herd immunity, which had already proven an abysmal failure in Sweden. He flaunted his own recommended CDC guidelines regarding face protection, social distancing and large gatherings, holding multiple so called “super spreader” events where literally hundreds if not thousands were infected. Our standing in the world community is at an all time low. Trump’s foreign policy (or lack thereof) has been a complete failure, from N Korea to Iran. Russia has not only continued its attacks on our electoral processes, they just launched a massive cyber attack against multiple government agencies while our Commander In Chief says and does absolutely NOTHING in response. He has basically disregarded most of our long standing alliances like NATO in favor of cozying up to murderous thugs like Putin, Kim and MBS. He unilaterally withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord instead touting the wonders of coal as our primary energy source as the rest of the world went green. He also unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal thereby enabling the development by that country of their own nuclear arsenal, just the same way his failed negotiations with N Korea and Kim Jung Un have enabled that madman to continue to develop his nuclear arsenal and capabilities. His administration has trashed the environment and our public education system in favor of huge campaign contributions from special interest groups like oil and gas and private schools. It may take years to undo the damage, and CABINET OF CLOWNS charter members like CRUELLA DeVos, Secretary of Education are opening calling for sabotaging the incoming administration before they take office in January. The EPA ceased to exist but in name only as Trump and his henchmen systemically traded environmental regulations and protections for campaign contributions. He sold off huge areas of national nature preserves for the same reasons. He completely disavowed climate change and its devastating impact on our global environment as did his sycophant Republikan(t) party. His administration has featured more contestants than his reality show did with the greatest turnover numbers in history. Many of his former associates have been sent to prison. Many have either resigned or been summarily shown the door when they weren’t LOYAL to the man who would be dictator for life. There have been innumerable evidences of malfeasance by him and his administration including a number of present day CABINET OF CLOWN members like Wilbur THE BOSS Ross and CRUELLA DeVos. The corruption is so prevalent that it’s mindful of pigs feeding at the trough. So many people are begging him for Presidential pardons that you have to take a number and get in line. And still, nearly six weeks out from his historical defeat to President Elect Joe Biden, he and his right wing propagandist allies at OANN and other outlets continues to stoke his base up with claims of widespread fraud in the election. He is even supposed to have said he will refuse to leave the White House on January 20th. Sadly, other Republikan(t)s like GRANDSTAND Rand, Ron (The TOOL) Johnson and Kevin (JOE) McCarthy in Congress also continue to reinforce this fraudulent narrative at the expense of undermining our democracy. And millions of our fellow citizens actually subscribe to these nonsensical claims and conspiracy theories. It’s then little wonder and with great sadness I must report that what was once “AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL” has become “AMERIKKKA THE PITIFUL” under the failed leadership of Donald Trump and his Republikan(t) party. MOSCOW Mitch and Kevin (JOE) McCarthy, the Senate Majority Leader and House Minority Leader are the M & M boys in DC, and two of the biggest clowns to EVER occupy space in the Capitol. They have demonstrated their complete fealty and subservience to Donald Trump throughout his reign of terror over the last four years and continue to do so despite the fact that Joe Biden will be inaugurated as our new President on January 20th. Just yesterday, some FIVE weeks after a resounding victory in both the popular and the Electoral College votes, MOSCOW Mitch finally admitted the obvious. McCarthy still refuses to recognize the results of the election or even call Biden President Elect. I suppose in a way we could have predicted McConnell’s measured and calculated response-everything he does is measured and calculated. It’s a sad commentary that we have to commend him for stating the obvious; much like was the case when outgoing Attorney General Barr told the AP a few weeks ago there was no evidence of any widespread fraud in the election. This is the alternative narrative that Trump has fostered within the sad remains of the Republican Party. And credit McConnell for admonishing his Senate caucus to refrain from attempting to protest the results when they certify the election on January 6th as required by the Constitution. McCarthy, on the other hand, is guilty of nothing more than pure tribalism, encouraging his Republican counterparts in the House to attempt to overturn the election results on that date. Because his party is in the minority in the House and because McConnell mandated the Senate fall into line this ridiculous attempt to reverse the votes of over EIGHTY ONE million Americans will never succeed. So what is the end game here? McCarthy might as well just get on his knees in front of the country and blow Donald Trump he’s become so beholden to him. He has repeatedly lied to the country and done everything in his power to obstruct the Democratic agenda on issues such as gun legislation and healthcare and justify Trump's continuing attacks on our democracy. My question is this…how do such far right tribalists like McCarthy and Devin Nunes get elected in a state as liberal as California??? The answer is their Congressional Districts, which include Bakersfield and Fresno. Bakersfield is an oil and gas Mecca and Fresno is in the heart of California’s farm belt, both traditionally very Republican and very conservative. Both have conducted themselves during the Trump years in the white House as the true sycophants they have become, lying, misleading and protecting Trump despite his malfeasance. Our only hope for the next four years of governance under a Biden administration lies in wresting control of the Senate from MOSCOW Mitch by defeating the two crooked Senate candidates in Georgia, Loeffler and Perdue. Otherwise we can basically count of four years similar to the gridlock experienced when Barrack Obama was President, where Republicans were more interested in derailing the Democratic agenda than they were in governing America and doing the will of the people they are supposed to represent. In the meanwhile, the M & M clown show continues playing out in Congress while millions of Americans are unemployed and standing in food lines. It’s pathetic. The news that William (DIS)Barr, Attorney General of the United States of America has resigned just a few short weeks prior to the end of the Trump administration is fitting indeed. The very man who as the chief law enforcement officer of our country repeatedly either bent or broke the law to protect the most corrupt POTUS in history was himself shown the door by the same man. Just one more bit of refuse for the Trump dumpster, like so many others who have come and gone during his term as President. And might I add good riddance!!!
That the best thing you can say about William (DIS)Barr is that his one shining moment really wasn’t that at all, but only a statement of the obvious. In an interview with the Associated Press just a couple of weeks after the November election that Trump was claiming was rigged against him Barr stated there was no obvious indication of any sort of election fraud, like so many others including Trump's own DHS and DOJ had also reiterated. And yet despite all of the shady if not outright criminal defenses Barr had previously undertaken for his boss Trump was so infuriated by the apparent “betrayal” of his very own Roy Cohn that he was determined to discredit and/or disgrace him before he left office. And so he did. Just another vindictive act of retribution by the man who would be king. But let’s talk about (DIS)Barr, which he should be following his days in office for his malfeasance. He came into the job with a belief that the President’s power was absolute and that DOJ policy dictated that no sitting President could be either indicted or convicted of any crime while in office. His first act as AG was to completely whitewash the Mueller report before both the Congress and the American public, insisting to all there was “nothing there”. It turns out there was a lot there, including no fewer than ten incidences of obstruction of justice committed by the President in trying to cover up the Russia investigation. He then lied about it to Congress perjuring himself, which is a felony. Has Barr been honest, it is perhaps likely that the pressure put on the Senate to impeach Trump would have been far greater than the charade of a trial MOSCOW Mitch conducted “in lock step with the White House”. The timing was just about the time we first became aware of the pandemic in January. Had Barr told the truth and had Trump been impeached it’s almost certain that we wouldn’t have 300,000 plus DEAD Americans resulting from his refusal to either be honest about it or take it seriously way back then. Think about it. And then there have been the myriad of questionable legal maneuverings which have transpired at DOJ to either exonerate or directly intervene in the sentences of guilty co conspirators like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. We also had Barr involved in the Ukrainian extortion scandal which got his boss impeached in the first place. He worked hand in hand with ambulance chaser and Trump confidant and personal attorney RUMDUM Rudy Giuliani to try to dig up dirt on Trump’s likely political opponent Joe Biden. Then came the George Floyd murder and the summer of protests regarding racial injustice. Trump called the peaceful demonstrators “thugs” and sent unidentified federal agents into cities like Portland and Seattle acting like Hitler’s brown shirts. But perhaps the most telling and lasting images of William (DIS)Barr will be his stroll through Lafayette Park in DC with Trump while he had riot police and military personnel clear a path through peaceful protesters with tear gas and batons in order to provide him with a photo op at St. John’s church, which has been set ablaze during the protests. Who will EVER forget the picture of Trump triumphantly holding the Holy Bible out for the entire world to see…UPSIDE DOWN!!! And Barr standing right there beside him like his faithful lap dog, which he was. (see above). William Barr will go down as one of the most corrupt AG’s we’ve ever had. He will be lucky if he isn’t held to account by some equally vindictive Democrats in the House of Representatives for the cover he provided Trump for so long. He should be held accountable for his actions, as should Donald J. Trump. NOBODY in this country is above the law, especially the President. And the DOJ policy of hands off the President needs to be revisited before we get another madman in the Oval Office. And one final word for the now disgraced and discarded Attorney General…don’t let the door hit your fat ass on the way out!!! Your place in history is assured, and it won’t be kind to you nor should it be. ADIOS. As the holidays draw near, I’m reminded of one of my favorite Christmas movies, National Lampoon’s “CHRISTMAS VACATION”. In that movie, when Clark Griswold is stiffed by his boss with a Jelly of the Month certificate instead of his usual cash bonus, he unleashes an unforgettable tirade against him. It seems appropriate to use these same words to describe the actions of Donald Trump and many Republikan(T) politicians following the certification of Joe Biden’s election as President by the Electoral College. The words seem very apt to describe this collection of buffoons who have chosen to put tribal politics ahead of the good of the country in the transition of power. Their collective behavior is beyond despicable, it’s incredibly damaging to the future of our democracy. At any rate, to all those yellow bellied cowards, this is for you:
You are a bunch of “cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed, sacks of monkey shit!!! Merry Christmas to Donald J. Trump and family, MOSCOW Mitch, (JOE) McCarthy, John (I’m NOT) Kennedy, Jim (I’m no Michael) Jordan, Lindsey Graham CRACKER and every other dirt bag who have done so much damage to our democracy. I hope you and your cohorts in crime choke on your Jelly of the Month!!! “Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or rebellion against, established authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interest of sedition”. (From Wikipedia) Now that we have defined the word, perhaps somebody can explain to me how no fewer than seventeen state Attorney Generals and over one hundred sitting Congressional members, including the House Minority Leader as well as the President himself can openly espouse the overthrow of a fair and honest election (described by Trump’s own DHS and DOJ as ‘the most secure in our history”) and NOT be considered seditious as defined above?!? They are openly calling for subversion of the Constitution AND incitement of discontent toward or rebellion against established authority. These are the very definitions of the word. Every single one of these individuals should be sanctioned or censured as well as those ambulance chasers that brought this absurd case in front of the United States Supreme Court. Trump himself should be charged the moment Joe Biden is sworn in with not only sedition but for every single act of malfeasance he and his henchmen have committed since the day he took office. These include perjury in lying in writing to Special Investigator Robert Mueller, multiple counts of obstruction of justice for his attempts to cover up the entire Russian scandal, income tax evasion, financial fraud, extortion and campaign finance violations involving paying hush money to bury sexual scandals he was involved in. He should be sent to prison as well as his entire family for the overt plundering of taxpayer’s money for their own personal benefit and that of the Trump brand, all at our expense. As for the Republican party, what’s left to be said about the greatest collection of gutless yellow bellied cowards to ever set foot in Congress who have not only stood idly by while all of these attacks on democracy are taking place but are actively supporting them in many cases?!? History will be the judge of these sycophants who chose to put political expediency and self preservation ahead of their Constitutional duties and the rights of their own constituents, trying to deprive over EIGHTY MILLION Americans of their vote and it won’t be kind nor should it be. From MOSCOW Mitch McConnell to Kevin (JOE) McCarthy these despicable individuals have defiled the offices they represent and completely turned their backs on our democratic processes. And worst of all, over SEVENTY MILLION of my fellow Americans think its all OK, just politics as usual. Just like when the Nazis took over the German government in the 1930’s by the time they wake up to what is REALLY taking place it might be too late. On top of all of the failed legal maneuvers and right wing propaganda being spewed forth hourly by FAUX, OANN and NEWSMAX there have even been whispers that Trump has considered asking the military to intervene on his behalf. Seriously folks this is NO joking matter. Just when we think it couldn’t get any worse, it always does. And it isn’t over yet, believe me. And for those who continue to support this insanity for whatever reason in the name of politics think about what you’re doing before its too late for America. I know it’s only five weeks until President Elect Biden is sworn in, but that amount of time seems like it will be an eternity for Donald and his Trumplicans to do irreparable damage to our country and our democracy as they have willingly demonstrated since Election Day. Imagine seventeen state Attorney Generals, over one hundred Congressional members and the President of the United States filing a lawsuit with the Supreme Court to attempt to overturn EIGHTY ONE MILLION votes because they lost. And that over SEVENTY MILLION of your fellow citizens voted in support of these attempts to turn our republic into a banana republic. And even after rebuke after crushing legal rebuke handed down from every single court filing, they persist. Now there is even talk about some sort of Congressional attempt to derail the certification of the election. It just never ends. Donald Trump and his Trumplican party are more concerned with overturning the “safest more secure election in our history” (words of his very own DHS and DOJ) than they are the fact that a raging pandemic has killed nearly 300,000 of our fellow citizens, They are more concerned with the legal liabilities of their corporate sponsors than they are providing desperately needed financial assistance to tens of millions of Americans who have been directly affected by Trump’s complete dereliction of duty in dealing with the pandemic. While unemployment benefits are set to expire for millions, they do NOTHING. I don’t know about the rest of America, but for me it’s high time we end this absolute dumpster fire or shit show named Donald J Trump and his administration for once and for all. He almost single hand idly has destroyed our democracy, with enablement from MOSCOW Mitch (JOE) McCarthy and all the other stooges who are Republicans in name only-their actions are about as far removed from the party of Lincoln as are Vladimir Putin’s!!! Now we hear he’s about to fire William (DIS)Barr, he the same AFG who bailed him out of the indictments of the Mueller report, cleared Lafayette Square of peaceful demonstrators with tear gas and batons for a photo op and has even perjured himself in front of Congress for Trump?!? And now he wants to fire him because he isn’t loyal??? This just goes once again to indicate just how incredibly unstable and unhinged and unglued our President truly is. There have also been rumblings that he has actually contemplated utilizing the military to achieve his objective of overturning the results of the November election. And for all those Trumplicans and supporters out there crying wolf because you lost to a man you scornfully referred to as “Sleepy Joe” I have news for you and a couple words of advice. Sleepy Joe did just what he promised; he took the schoolyard bully out and kicked his ass. My advise to you is simple…wait for it…GET OVER IT!!! Let’s move forward instead of looking backward at the worst four years in our nation’s history. Let’s END THIS SHIT SHOW!!! |
