Monday Moaning: "Is This America?"

 

A group of Capitol officers sat, defeated, crying, talking about what had just happened, one saying, "What the fuck was that? What the fuck? Is this America?"

That was January 6, 2021 after domestic terrorists attacked the United States Capitol. A black officer mentioned about the insane number of times he had been called a "nigger" that day. Police were beaten. One will lose an eye, one lost 3 fingers, one had a heart attack as the crowd dragged him down the stairs, beating him, trying to take his gun, and tasered him multiple times. 140 officers were injured. 1 was killed. 2 killed themselves after that day. All of this done by the hands of the people who screamed "Blue Lives Matter!" every time someone says "Black Lives Matter."  Every time a cop unjustly kills a black person, these people say "Back the Blue! Blue Lives Matter!" 

But then January 6, 2021 they attacked the Blue. Everything so many of us thought, was put on full display to prove our thoughts were right. To these Trump-loving, white supremacists, it was never about supporting Blue Lives, it was always about hating Black Lives. Blue Lives only Matter when they're killing Black Lives! 

There is video of a police officer being beaten with a flag pole, that has the idiot, "Thin Blue Line" Flag on it. Yes, I have great issues with that flag, and not only because it's been co-opted by White Supremacists.

What baffles me about these Trump-Cultists is they are the ones who claim to be the most Patriotic of all Americans. All Johnny Red-White-Blue...But their actions are the furthest thing from it. They wrap themselves in clothing with man's name all over it. They fly flags of a man's name instead of their country. Yeah, some fly both...Christ, some also fly the ignorant Confederate flag and the Nazi flag too. But I will never forget the moment on January 6, 2021 when attackers climbed scaffolding and cut down a United States Flag and hung a TRUMP flag in it's place. They have accepted to throw out Democracy and wish to have an Authoritarian ruler. 

These people aren't "Patriots" as they claim to be, or as Ivanka and Donald Trump praised them to be. They are Traitors. 

They committed treason. Treason is defined as: "the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government."

January 6, 2021 These people's intent was to overturn our election results, as well as killing Vice President, Mike Pence and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, the next two people that were in the line of succession of power. That shit is treason and the punishment for treason is: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death."

You know, last week I wrote about the "Super Bowl" and commented on how odd it was that it had been so long since I wrote about sports, considering I, not too long ago, co-owned, operated and for a sports blogging site. A friend of mine, who I met through blogging at "The Sporting News" commented how he liked it when I write about sports. 

I appreciate that. 

I know I have turned a lot of people off by mostly blogging and posting on social media about politics. There are moments when I get frustrated by it...Where I wish I could just write about the latest horrible trade the Cleveland (still) Indians made, or why the fuck the New York Rangers can's score AT ALL on the Power Play. The thing is, as much as I love the Rangers, it's just not that damn important. Not when you consider we have a large portion of our country that is willing to accept Authoritarian rule. When you have sitting members of Congress who are willing to accept that. Members of Congress who have sided with a would be dictator over their country and the citizens/taxpayers they represent. 

We have people who still say COVID isn't real, ignoring that 485,000 Americans have died from it. 

These aren't minor little things going on in our country right now. These are huge, terrifying problems. I have three kids and I want them to grow up in the America I grew up in, that was full of hope instead of fear. That stood up for what is right. That aspired to greatness instead of playing down to the lowest common denominator.

To answer the officer's question, yes, this is America...But it doesn't have to stay this way.

One last thing. Going back to both sports and treason. I have a great idea for next year's "Super Bowl" Halftime show. Every single one of the these traitors, receives their punishment for treason on live TV. Halftime Executions!  SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! 

Monday Moaning: Fuck Josh Hawley

 

I’m not going to share the link because Fuck Josh Hawley! But I want to point out his ignorance. (Again) Hawley wrote a column form the New York Post where he cries about being censored and being “muzzled.” He tweeted about this topic as well and it’s also in the book he is writing that a different publisher picked up. He feels things here are becoming to feel like living in “communist China.”

Seriously!?! If you are tweeting, have a book deal and are writing columns in the news media, you’re not being “muzzled!” I guess little rich kid never got called out in his bullshit until now! Listen Josh, people not liking you isn't censorship...It's simply, you're an asshole and people don't like you.

For too long now, Josh Hawley has been bitch, moaning and complaining about "Cancel Culture." I find it ironic that a guy is complaining about "Cancel Culture" when he tried to help pull the ultimate CANCEL. Hawley has been one of the most vocal supporters of Trump's attempts at overturning the election results. He was all for overturning the results, in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin and my state, Pennsylvania. He even signed onto Texas' Supreme Court filing to throw out all of Pennsylvania's votes, with many treason scumbags, including TED CRUZ.

Hawley has not backed down from his claims of massive voter fraud in PA, even though Trump and his merry band of the worst lawyers in the world, and Trump allies have lost 64 court cases. Including that SCOTUS case getting tossed out. They also withdrew many cases, as they have brought forth NO EVEIDENCE to support these claims. Dick-bag Josh Hawley says he is just representing his constituents and defending the First Amendment.

1. Dickhead Hawley, you like Cruz do not have constituents in Pennsylvania and you two fuck-tards should stop talking and acting as if you do. You don't know shit about Pennsylvania.

But Hawley's Constituents in Missouri did do this:

2. Hawley has clearly ignored and refused to read any of the State's findings and the Courts' rulings on the PA election, otherwise he'd possibly have a clue.

3. Fuck-stain Hawley has either rallied up or jumped onboard with ignorant-ass Pennsylvania Republicans who have also carried Trump's lies about the "stolen election." What those GOP cunts didn't tell Joshy or he's too stupid to realize, is that the PA-GOP controlled legislature wrote the PA Election laws/rules and unanimously voted the into place. Democrats were trying to hold them back a cycle. Also, a great number of these same PA Republicans spewing these bullshit lies, won their very seats in this same election, on those same ballots...Yes, including you Mike Kelly you traitorous, used car salesman, with your mouth full of Trump's balls.

4. Every single claim Hawley has made about the election results is fucking bullshit!.

(I keep writing like this, that dream of a media outlet hiring me is shot...Oh well!)

Again, you little dickhead Hawley, it's not censorship you are experiencing, people are just letting you know you're an asshole! If you don't try to throw out the votes of millions of Americans, we wouldn't hate you so much!

Oh, but there's more about Hawley to hate. Years ago, after the Oklahoma City bombing, he defended the actions of right wing extremists because some how this rich kid understands the feelings of the "disenfranchised" middle/working class. There was a great article in the KANSAS CITY STAR about this along with his racist comments about Affirmative Action, Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King Jr. that I read last night, but they have since made it a pay only article, so I couldn't post a direct link...But dude is a racist fuck! I feel comfortable saying that based on his support of Militia groups that are full of White Supremacists, his comments in that article and his obstructionist acts in the senate, voting against two Biden cabinet nominees. One being Black and one being Hispanic.

Hawley takes no responsibility for his lies and rhetoric that helped fuel the January 6th attack on the Capitol, but there is no doubt he supported it and wanted it. Video of terrorists evoking his and Cruz's names and his silence in denouncing it makes that very clear.

Yes, we can scream for assholes like Hawley to resign, but he won't. His ego won't allow it. His lack of decency prevents it. We can yell for him to be expelled, but let's be real, the majority of the members of the Senate are cowards and avoid doing what is right in favor of what will keep them from a political backlash from their party and what will keep money flowing into their campaigns. So this is what we do...Or at least what I do. I'll keep attacking the asshole. I'll keep spitting the truth and facts back in his face. I'll keep inviting him on twitter to come to PA and tell me to my face why my vote should have been thrown out. I will continue to annoy this little prick every fucking day!

Have a week.

Biden's Win Gives Birth to Trumpism

 

I have been waiting to post about the post election bullshit that has been going on. I was hoping to see cooler heads prevail. I was hoping to see people who call themselves leaders, to standup and lead. I have been greatly disappointed. 

I never expected Trump to act like a responsible, decent human being. I did however expect Republican leadership to step up and push him in the direction of civility, fully knowing he'd be faking it. But Republican leadership has not done that. Many have remained quiet as Trump and his band of the worst and dumbest lawyers in the history of law, have spewed ignorant and ridiculous claims of election fraud. Worse are the one who have piled on and tried to help push these claims. ALL of these claims being pushed with no evidence. The Trump campaign and other Republican groups filing cases in courts throughout the country, have lost 40 times and have withdrawn many others because the lawyers know it's bullshit.

This has all lead to many Americans...Millions of Americans believing the the election was rigged, solely because Trump said so. It doesn't seem to matter to them that Trump's DHS and DOJ have said there is no legit fraud, as well as a number of Republican election officials, Governors and Secretaries of State. 

So now we have a frightening large amount of the population that don't trust our election process just because their guy lost. There's something even worse, even more frightening. There is a huge part of the population that agree with Trump, his lawyers and elected officials supporting his lies, that the election results should be thrown out and overturned by the Senate and Supreme Court, giving Trump the win.

Here in Pennsylvania we have this asshole Congressman, Mike Kelly.

This is what happens when Trump and Pence fuck and 9 months later Pence shits out a used car salesman.

Kelly has been pushing the fight to throw out the PA election results. First trying to throw out all Mail-in-ballots, then trying to just throw out mail-in-ballots from Philly and Pittsburgh. Then it was trying to stop the certification. Now he's trying to push to go top the SCOTUS to throw out the certification, throw out the election results (which would include his victory) and have the election victories given to only Trump and Republicans. If you ever wanted to know what a traitor looks like, it's that fucker right above.

Asshole Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz was vocally supporting this along with having the votes thrown out in Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona. Cruz who hated how Trump behaved while running against him, now is using the Trump playbook. Talking shit on Twitter, spewing lies and misinformation, attacking media, members and fellow politicians, acting in the same uncivilized and disrespectful way Trump does, while ignoring the people of his state are starving and dying. The "Grand Old Party" seems to not want that moral high ground they claim they stand on.

There is a huge fact that Trump and Republicans want you to ignore. They are hoping you don't know and they don't want you to see the facts. In Pennsylvania the election laws/rules were written by and unanimously voted into place by REPUBLICANS. Wisconsin's election process and procedures were built and put in place by REPUBLICANS. Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Michigan  as well, the election laws/rules/process/procedures were written, voted on, put in place by REPUBLICANS. Now many, FAR TOO MANY of those same Republicans are trying to call foul. I'm no legal expert but they all should be impeached. Hell, I think they all should be tried for treason. 

It doesn't stop there...

Recently pardoned piece of shit Michael Flynn has said Trump should declare martial law, put the military in the streets and invalidate the election, which would make me look brilliant when I wrote, warning that  Trump is a FASCIST. 

All these Johnny Red, White and Blue people who claim to be patriots and talk about our freedom and democracy, are actually saying they're such patriots, that we need to throw democracy out the window. They are willing to instill a dictator. These are the same fucking idiots that scream about people who don't stand for the National Anthem or people who burn the Flag in protest, while they fly the Nazi Flag, Confederate Flag and the Trump flag. If you fly any of those flags, you are the patriot you think you are. You're a traitor and an asshole.

We are also talking about the party and people that claim to be the "Pro-Life" party. Odd since so many of them have been COVID deniers and anti-maskers. Never mind those 270,000 dead Americans.

Now I have heard some outspoken members of the media calling Mitch McConnell and the GOP and so many other Republicans, cowards for not speaking out against Trump and his dolts and not acknowledging the election results...Well, they acknowledge their victories. And let's be real fucking honest here. If Democrats/Liberals/and whoever else pulled off some grand, nationwide scheme to rig the election, we would have damn sure seen to it that McConnell and Lindsey Graham and Kevin McCarthy would have lost in the same type of landslide Trump did. Speaking for myself, I hate those cocksuckers (Lindsey loves the cock!) as much as I hate Trump. 

Back to the original thought, they have been called cowards, "afraid of a mean tweet from Trump." But that thought doesn't make it clear enough. They aren't afraid of the tweet. They are afraid of what follows the tweet. The Trump supports who see the tweet which is their green light from their Cult Leader, #Diaper Don...A green light to attack. These Johnny Patriot, red, white and blue fucktards start with their death threats. They are making death threats to members of their own party. Threatening them for doing their job, defending democracy and our election process. Don't forget these are the same fanatical Trump supporters who plotted to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan and her family. the same people that plotted to take control of the Michigan state capitol and livestream daily executions. These aren't patriots, they are terrorists and Trump is the head of the terrorist cell.

For fuck's sake a right-wing pastor, Rick Wiles promoted the killing of Democrats and media members by firing squad...Here's a LINK. I'm sorry, but you don't get to call yourself "Pro-Life" and promote and support the unlawful execution of people you don't agree with. You're just a cunt.

Now there are many people who believe in this fraud shit because of mail-in-ballots. Some don't get how Biden dominated the mail-in-voting. Well, remember your fearless leader Trump told people not to trust voting by mail, so right off the top, fewer Republicans voted by mail. And you dummies all ignored while he spoke of the evils of mail-in-voting, him and his whole crew VOTE BY MAIL. Again, I must point out, that Republicans did very well in this election, while Trump lost. This makes it clear that plenty of Republicans voted for Biden. it also makes me believe many "Independents" and some Democrats voted for Biden but voted for Republicans in down ballot races. It's long past time for the Republican leadership to acknowledge this, it make it clear to the public, as well as Trump.

But it may be too late. The Republican party is attacking itself. Republicans are making death threats to fellow Republicans. As I type this, there are Republicans in Georgia telling Republicans not to vote for those two scumbag Republicans in Georgia's Senate runoffs. A number of us have hoped for a third party that can contend in American politics. I think we are seeing it form right before our eyes and its a party none of us really should want. 

Trumpism

 And the Trumpers, the vocal supporters of Trumpism seem to have no problem with Authoritarianism, which Trump would definitely push towards Fascism. 

While the idea of seeing the Republican party eat itself alive doesn't make me sad, I fear what will come out the other side. 

#WakeUpAmerica

Wake Up America....#FascistTrump

Just a couple months ago, fully armed citizens screaming about their rights stormed state buildings with the full throated support of the President...No federal interference or militarized federal police were brought in...yet peaceful protesters in Portland, singing, chanting and using their First Amendment Rights have had #FascistTrump’s secret police beat on them and had them and haul them away...None of these 2nd Amendment gun nuts are standing up for the rest of the country’s 1st Amendment rights...Trump and they made it clear, they only think the 1st Amendment is for traitors who wave Nazi and Confederate flags.

....

...

Stand up for Black Lives Matter, equality, basic human rights...and there is no support from the federal government...You are greeted with violence....

.....

...

This is what all this is about....The guy screaming about ANTIFA, which means ANTI-Fascist...Is a fascist!

The 14 characteristics of Fascism are, as written by Political Scientist, Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
   Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
   
   
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
   Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
   
   
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
   The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
   
   
4. Supremacy of the Military
   Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
   
   
5. Rampant Sexism
   The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
   
   
6. Controlled Mass Media
   Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
   
   
7. Obsession with National Security
   Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
   
   
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
   Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
   
   
9. Corporate Power is Protected
   The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
   
   
10. Labor Power is Suppressed
    Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .
    
    
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
    Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
    
    
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
    Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
    
    
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
    Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
    
    
14. Fraudulent Elections
    Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.   

We have seen all of these things from the Trump Administration...We being the people paying attention and not carrying traitor flags...Read through it again...Think...This is the playbook the Trump Administration and campaign are using...

The fact that a report came out today that Trump's appointed Post Master General is planning on slowing down Postal Service.... This is just another sign...You ask how?  Trump and many of his inner circle often vote by mail...Yet they are fighting states that allow it or want to allow it for the upcoming election...Slow down the postal service, limiting the days carriers are out, limiting how much moves each day, fucks with mail in voting...

He wants to control us...He wants to silence any voices that speak out against him...He wants to silence the voices that screaming against systemic racisms that his family and so many others profited from...  

...

Right now, every city needs to rise up, like Portland....

I love you Portland!
