The Terrible Twos

Political posturing in the past has always been an occupational hazard for politicians especially in presidential campaigns.  My earliest memory of import was the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon contest that ended up as the narrowest margin of victory in the 20th century.  To put this into a bean count perspective, Kennedy won by only 112,827 votes and a margin of 17/100ths percent.  Nixon graciously conceded the following morning.  Boy oh boy, I sure miss those days.  Nixon went on to say something to the effect that we must all put our differences aside now and support the new incoming administration and bring our country forward.  Isn’t that refreshing?  Of course, that Republican Party died and was buried a few times since then.  We now fast forward 60 years to the 2020 campaign and the war of words between two pukes who slime balled each other so vehemently during the campaign with a language, under normal conditions, would never be condoned again for all eternity.  This woosome twosome have now joined forces and created a mutual dissemination society.  Let’s check ‘em out, eh?

Even though Ted Cruz is 24 years junior to Donald Trump, the way they are carrying on these days makes it seem as if these 2 lumps of shit were separated at birth.  They’re buddies, pals and chums and let me tell you, these 2 festering lumps deserve each other.  I could go into a vast plethora of the debilitating diatribe that they used against each other, but most of the shit they were slinging would be described by psychologists as 2 toddlers going through the terrible twos.  It would be a hoot to run footage of their battle of bull in the voices of 2 year olds.  Needless to say, I didn’t pay any attention to these warthogs spit on each other during the 2016 campaign, so I did some research and came across some humorous items that are worth repeating here.  Trump’s nickname for Cruz was, “Lyin’ Ted” and Cruz would call Trump a “Pathological Liar.”  I would award Round 1 to “Lyin’ Ted.”  Cruz accused Trump of being a “serial philanderer” and Trump retorted by telling the public that Cruz’s wife was “ugly.”  Trump wins Round 2.  Now this is where things get a little dicey as they sorta went off grid with speculative slander that you hear quite often these days in the Republican Party when they go off on each other.  For some reason unbeknownst to mankind, Trump said something about Cruz’s Dad was somehow involved in the JFK assassination.  Gee, I guess Oswald didn’t act alone after all.  In the end though, I have to give the Final Round to Cruz when he said, and this is a quote, “If I were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw Donald in the backup camera, I’m not confident which pedal I’d push.”  Now that’s a statement that I wish I thought of first.

So what’s happening now?  According to a CNN article: complete capitulation.  Looks like Cruz cruised on down to Mar-a-Lago to whine and dine with “the Don.”  Yep, bosom buddies taking selfies, flashing smiles, kissing ass and posting the occasion on twitter.  You can look it up, but I’ll save you the time and trouble as this is what he posted, “Had a great dinner tonight with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.  He’s in great spirits!  We spent the evening talking about working together to take the House & Senate in 2022.”  Wow!  What a difference 4 years makes, going from dragging an opponents wife through the ugly mud and retorting with thoughts about running the adversary over with your vehicle.  How do you take those things back.  Words matter, but in this case, the Trumpublican rule is the exception.  I have a better idea, I’ll fix the problem and run them both over!  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...
