That’s Entertainment

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 of Trump bashing caught me off guard.  Oh sure, the usual bullshit of Donny Jr. bragging about a 2-0 win record for his Dad was expected, but the blitz move of scathing remarks by Mitch McConnel both shocked and pleased me, although he could have lambasted Trump even more than he did, I’ll take any verbiage of that sort that he’ll dish out.  Scathing remarks about Trump and other scurrilous Republicans by Democrats is certainly good stuff to read about, but when they come from other scurrilous Republicans it’s pretty exciting stuff.  In fact, when I come across quite a bit of that material, you can catch me curling up for the evening with my computer and a bowl of popcorn.  So what’s next?

This is how I would like to see this played out.  Let me introduce you to my new best friend.  Her name is Fani Willis, Fulton County Georgia District Attorney.  The good news is that she has instigated an investigation whether or not Trump violated state law in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.  The better news is that her probe into this matter now includes South Carolina Senator (R) Lindsey Graham.  Seems the Southern Charmer tried to wooze over Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to throw out mail-in ballots in certain counties, which would have resulted in it’s 16 electoral votes to be casted in Trump’s favor.  Wow!  It’s like a BOGO sale.  Looks like the entertainment value in our political picture is getting amped up.  No need to stop there.  Let’s start with what I call my Shady Six List: Ted Cruz - Texas; Josh Hawley - Missouri; Lauren Boebert - Colorado; Marjorie Taylor Greene - Georgia; Ron Johnson - Wisconsin; Matt Gaetz - Florida.  This will do for a start since it is not wise to bite off more than we can chew.  The nice thing about this list is when we add more names to it, we increase the entertainment value.  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
