At Sullie's Place

Rush Limbaugh turned out to be a cult hero to many folks.  He seemed to relish his lifestyle having delved into the world of controversy.  It was a code he lived by.  He died ten days ago on February 17th a little over a year after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom on February 4, 2020.  He was 70 years old. The PMF is not to be taken lightly, that is, until the recent Trump years.  This award has been given to a Nobel Peace Prizer, a Grammy Hall of Famer, a Congressional Gold Medalist, a Spingarn Medal recipient, a Nehru Award for International Understanding recipient, a Margaret Sanger Award winner and a speech articulating Dreamer.  Heady company and that’s just one guy and these are just a few of the honors bestowed upon him in his short 39 years of life.  Now in order to be fair here, I don’t know much of anything about Rush Limbaugh, but I know quite a bit about Martin Luther King, Jr. and comparatively speaking, what I know about L...

If only I could puke all over that creepy maggot mind Junior Trump punk!  It would more than make my day.  Which Trump punk you may ask?  Doesn’t matter, in my book, they’re both brats.  Hey, better yet, have Junior and his brother side by side so one of them would end up as collateral damage.  What a fitting life’s moment that would be, eh?   First off, I’m not particularly a Bruce Springsteen fan, but I do admire his work ethic.  He’s put more sweat and energy into one concert than those Trump numbnuts have exhumed in their entire lives.  I had only been to one Rock concert in my whole life which was the Monterey International Pop Festival back in June of ‘67.  I was a 20-year old Airman 2nd class stationed at Edwards AFB in California and talked five buddies into a week-end road trip.  Six of us piled into a ‘56 Chevy and headed off on a 300 mile journey of a lifetime, but that’s a story for another time.  Now we fast forwar...

There is something to be said for face masks and social distancing given the fact that there are a slew of Trumpism types I get to ignore.  Don’t get me wrong, because I really miss interacting with folks I know plus complete strangers especially when we chat about Minnesota High School Hockey and 60’s music.  Those are 2 of my specialties.  I wish I could be writing about those subjects instead of politics.  You see, I’ve been dealing with hockey on so many different levels and 60’s music since, well, the 60’s!  Covid has put those items on the back burner with both my hockey and rock band activities being placed in suspended animation.  Politics, on the other hand, I’ve only been dealing with since the election is magnanimously ripe for the picking.  Most of my days nowadays are spent right here on the computer pumping out satirical political pieces with my brand of humorous sarcasm which, along with the 2 aforementioned items, I really enjoy doing....

We are at the precipice of the future and the future is now with no turning back.  The roadblocks are in place and completely unscalable.  The rift between so many entities have widened to the point that has put our Country in peril.  We have become so off-centered, we are beyond misalignment, skewed to the point of being not only crooked and cattywampus but downright whompyjawed.   We have divided our Nation with a fissure so wide, there is not enough needle and thread to bind it back into place.  George Washington hit the nail on the head with his farewell speech when he warned against hyper-partisanship that will bring about domination of one faction over another, heightened by a spirit of revenge.  John Adams echoed that sentiment when he also stated something to the effect that a 2-Party system may give birth to a political evil.  And so it has come to pass and not just in politics. Not hard to see how magnified our differences have become.  ...

This is going to be highly unusual, but I have a very good reason to come to the defense of an actual Republican Senator.  Yeah, I know what you’re all thinking.  You folks out there can take the tact that Sullie’s dementia is acting up again clouding any inkling of good judgement that on certain rare occasions, he is capable of.  However, I’m afraid I have to turn around and reject that statement as I don’t ever recall being accused of having good judgement.  Anyway, I don’t look forward to going on the record of siding with a Republican Legislator, which I have done before and you may have witnessed it yourself if you have read some 3 articles back entitled, “Headlines.”  In that article, I came to the defense of Illinois Representative (R) Adam Kinzinger in lauding him for pushing back on his wacko relatives, however, if you read on, I then unloaded again on the proverbial nutcase Wisconsin Senator (R) Ron Johnson.  The case I present to you now is one t...

Sullie’s List Of 3 Most Wanted Terrorists Past and Present: Osama Bin Laden, al Qaeda - died May 1, 2011; Ahmed Abdi Godane, al Shabab - died September 1, 2014; Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Iraqi terrorist - died October 26, 2019; Alman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda leader; Daniel Andreas San Diego, computer specialist - domestic terrorist; Donald John Trump, authoritarian - domestic terrorist.  The first 3 bad guys are no longer available for prosecution since they circumvented the judicial system, so we’ll move onto the next 3 who are not only available, but ripe for the picking.  I personally do not know al-Zawahiri or anyone else in the al Qaeda Department of Terrorism.  I’ve been pretty much out of touch the past year with social distancing and all, so any hob-nobbing with these 3 exotic characters has decreased dramatically.  Aman and Danny would be definite possible maybes, but no way with that last bozo, he’s way too scary and the worst of the bunch.  If you are perple...

WTF was Cruz thinking?  He should have known better!  Wrong!  That’s just the point!  He doesn’t, on both counts!  He’s a Republican, it’s not an inherent attribute.  Tch! Tch! Tch!  Looks like Lead-Head Ted is at it again and the Eyes of Texas are certainly upon him!  These GOP’ers keep scampering on a daily basis to create headlines that are either false or misleading or controversial or fake or scandalous or stupid or mean or all of the above and always WRONG!  While the Dems are low-keyed, sleeves rolled up jobbers and barely being news items, the Pubs are headline grabbers who always seem to get their hands caught in the cookie jar.  It doesn’t matter anymore if it’s Cruz or Hawley or Boebert or Green or the Big Macs or Trump himself, in the end, they always find a way to shoot themselves in the foot!  Right now, the Republican Party is mired down and treading in the mud.  I’m sure there are plenty of Pubs breathing a sigh...

Here we go again!  I am so in the mood for idiot bashing, which seems to have been invading my inner senses since Election Day.  It’s been over 3 months and we are still in the election aftermath era that just doesn’t want to go away.  Every day I scour dozens of headlines on the internet looking for a kooky article that deserves my attention.  There are, however, no lack of them and it always has something to do with the Republican side of the equation.  The hard part is picking out which ones to bash.  There are many obvious choices, but I look for a head turning, mouth watering, stupid sounding item that grabs the juggler and as fortune resounds, I found two of them today right next to each other.  The 1st one was about Illinois Representative (R) Adam Kinzinger and the other is none other than Wisconsin Senator (R) Ron Johnson again.  The 1st one I feel sorry for and I’ll try to come to his aid in whatever format I can and the 2nd one I treat ...

Republican Party - Born March 20, 1854, Ripon, Wisconsin; Died February 13, 2021, Washington D.C.;  Cause of death - There are many factors as to the demise of the Republican Party with the main cause being in-house bickering amongst the 27 known offshoots vying for position creating an overabundance of friction resulting in spontaneous combustion.  Is there any one person, Republican or otherwise, that is the main perpetrator of its demise?  Yes and No.  Yes, in the case of one, Donald J. Trump, Business CEO Conspiracy-Theorist Conman.  Head of the TrumpServative Party!  No, in the case of the Pseudo-Republicans themselves falling victim to innumerable scams and conspiracies of the aforementioned Head of the TrumpServative Party.  The official obit is really drawn out and would put you to sleep, but it does state the irony of it falling apart was basically caused by the Republicans inefficiency of convicting one, Donald J. Trump, former President of t...

So what gives?  Representative (R) Jamie Herrera Beutler’s corroborated report of a heated phone call exchange between Trump and House Minority Leader Keven McCarthy during the insurrection has caused the Senate to allow witnesses to testify in the Impeachment ll Drama.  There we were, all set for a trial we could sink our teeth into and in a blink of an eye, acquittal, end of story.  Huh?  Why were these Republican Senators okay to call witnesses and why did the Democratic Senators pressure the House Honchos to rescind on the witness protection program?  Obviously, I can neither answer that nor go into it at the present time.  There is certainly more to this than meets the eye.  The vote total was 57-43, 10 votes short for a conviction, which were a few more than I thought in what most considered a foregone conclusion.  I was quite taken by surprise that they dropped the potential testifying of witnesses, but even more so, the immediate backlash ...

Not sure how to reply to a CNN article I just read about Melania Trump’s current lifestyle whilst exiling down in her little corner of the world at Mar-a-Lago.  First off, let me say that I am beside myself with complete utter admiration.  This is truly inspirational and I am absolutely euphoric over my ability to actually take a couple minutes out of my mundane life and read such drivel about someone that I have neither interest nor desire to read about.  I mean no disrespect to whomever at CNN that wrote the article, they are an innocent bystander.  The point I need to drive home is that after her 4 year ladyship incarceration, I’m in complete shock that I finally read about her as the main subject and not as a by-product of a trophy wife appendage of her present husband.  Isn’t that so completely correlous of me? Okay so I’m not sure if I am supposed to be happy, sad, glad or mad over her self-imposed predicament of having to spend most of her days in the spa...

Georgia and New York are going to have to do the dirty deed since the United States Senate Gutless Wonder Trumpublicans are bored senseless with the impeachment proceedings. Not sure if this really happened, but it looked like one of those slimeballs in the upper gallery was actually clipping his toenails.  There is one documented circumstance that I have come across though that is just as disgusting.  Seems that Senator Ted “Creepy” Cruz wasn’t paying any attention to what was going on since he was involved with twitter tweets about today’s standard for the term “breast milk” and why it is no longer called that.  Hmmm!  He may be dealing with that proverbial “Attention Deficit Disorder” syndrome.  I, myself, have to admit that I fall victim to “ADD” myself, since I can’t look at or listen to him for more than 3 seconds.   Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what new video will be presented or what emotionally charged speeches will be pronounced, there wo...

The double standard dipshit Republicans are at it again.  I am going through my entire life as just wanting to be me, a regular Joe Schmoe.  No distractive sleight of hand hocus-pocus.  I like things that are easy to figure out on account of the situation being black and white, not the color scheme, just the scheme.  For example, gravity is not a definite-possible-maybe, or an opinion, it’s a proven scientific fact.  Let’s say if I were to pick up a pallet of Republican Q-Quacks with a forklift and saunter over to a construction dumpster, tip the forks so the pallet slides off and barring being tethered, the only direction the pallet is going to go is down into the dumpster.  Gravity Rules!  It’s written in black and white.  The Republicans are nowhere near operating in a black and white fashion, again, not the color scheme, just the scheme, since they are into a muddied, murky substance of alternate realities and double standards.  The reaso...

Tis the Day of Atonement and all through The House, The Articles were served, on this scurrilous Louse; The Senate will hear, testimony from all, throw the book at him, start the Final Downfall; Into the breach once more, that we travelled afore, He got off scot-free, now let’s settle the score; His crimes of sedition, inciting a mob, guilty as sin, this cowardly Nabob!  Whoa!  I’m a poet and don’t know it, cause my feet are Longfellows! Okay, okay, so an Amanda Gorman, poet laureate I’m not, but weaving a tale, is something I’ve got.  Stop it!  Enough of the poetry already!  Shades of 10th grade English here.  Let’s get down to prose.  So, you know he’s guilty and I know he’s guilty and more than half the country knows he’s guilty, but you and I and they don’t count.  What it comes down to is the Senate and it will be the same shit as the 1st go round from these spineless creepy gutless wonders.  What an opportunity they have.  They can...

And a good deja vu to you.  I am in my glory here being inundated with Republican fodder that allows me to pump out an article on just about a daily basis.  There is no end to all the stupid controversy the Republican Party inundates us with that is so totally warped.  It has become so surrealistically comical, which is something I always believed to be geophysically impossible to do.  However, you can’t count out those repugnant Republicans as they have this inane ability to best themselves day after day.   After 60 some years, we have the new Red Scare in the form of another Joseph McCarthy Republican running rampant in the U.S. Congress.  You all know him by the name of Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader who has decided to be the bozo brain buffoon of the week.  I admit that I don’t know much about him, not that I care, but I know enough from these past couple of days that I will be adding him to the lunatic log.  He will be in sad ...

I feel terrible for the Democrats in Congress.  They missed out on an opportunity of a lifetime.  They had their chances, but they blew it and let the Rebumblecans hoard and abscond with all the nut jobs, flakes and Q-Quacks.  There are so many to go around.  What is it in the Republican Party that attracts all these wacko #1 draft picks and why can’t the Democrats get at least a sliver of the pie?  I have given this much thought and have come up with a list of 5-points that prohibit their ability to attract these magnanimously moronic mental misfits.   There are various elements that could be at the top of the list in contributing to the Democrats failure to procure some of these far out zealous extremists, but I have to give the #1 reason to the fact that the Dems have a brain and they know how to use it.  It’s a well known fact, or at least oughta be, that the incoming set of Republican rookies are given a deposit box to store their brains in b...

Here we go again, the never ending saga of the Nutpublican Party.  The 1st Mc(Connell) says that the GOP’s #1 Lady Q-Quack needs to be punished and the 2nd Mc(Carthy) says nah, it’s okay, we don’t need to proceed in that direction.  Hmm?  I…guess...it’s...okay...for... Lady Wacko to carry on with her racist and violent views AND her endless conspiracy theories.  Leave it up to another McCarthy!   At least Joe McCarthy with his Red Scare tactics back in the 50’s had a few sensibilities.  I’m afraid this House Minority Leader Blowhole wouldn’t know what sense and sensibility is if it bit him in the ass!  Then, on top of all that, he denigrates the other side of the House’s Continental Divide for their plans on pursuing the matter.  Sorry Mac #2, but your Georgia Peach’s redeeming qualities are neither appropriate nor appreciated in Congress.  According to the latest newsflash, a House Panel has voted to relinquish her Committee Memberships....

These Wacko Warriors come in all shapes and sizes.  Even sexual orientation is not immune to fall prey to what I consider the most comical entertainment in the nation.  First off, I have no intention to laugh off these besotted individuals who have gone off the deep end and will, most likely, never get to plant their feet onto solid ground.  However, some of these characters are in the national spotlight and millions of citizens in this country take these people to heart.  The rest of us take them seriously enough to see how much of a danger they are to our existence, but I keep them at arms length and use them for entertainment purposes only.  Of course, right off the bat, we have Public Enemy #1 who is in his post-presidency winter hibernation period.  Personally, I would be way more comfortable if he were to fall off the face of the earth or, at the very least, hibernate at Tristan da Cunha, the most remote spot in the world.  #1 is the entity from ...
