The Death of American Patriotism

 

That's a  beautiful picture isn't it?

The Autumn leaves. The incredible sky. Old Glory. In this image I see the American flag but I quickly shift my attention to everything else going on. You see after the Trump administration and what has gone on in our country post election, I'm leery when I see the American flag. I often cringe when I see it. I know people are already upset and offended i wrote that, but let me explain why.

Patriotism was weaponized. It started when Colin Kaepernick, on the advice of a member of the military took a knee during the National Anthem in protest of police brutality and discrimination. People dug in firmly to their sides and the point Kaepernick and others were trying to make was quickly lost. Between this and the Black Lives Matter movement more and more we started seeing the Thin Blue Line flag or the "Blue Lives Matter" flag. The people wearing and waving that flag not only claimed to support the police but also claimed to be patriots/patriotic. Funny since their flag breaks "flag Code."

Also, some people carrying this flag on January 6th, attacked the U.S. Capitol and beat police officers, killed police officers, wounded 140 police officers. Nothing there seems to show support for police, or "patriotism."

These people who felt Kaepernick's use of his freedom to protest, felt they were well with in their rights to "protest" election results, in which their guy got smoked, by staging a terrorist attack on the Capitol. How very white of them.

Also in this band of terrorists who have weaponized patriotism, were people who wear and fly the Confederate Flag. The Confederate Flag being the flag of traitors. While these dolts scream about respecting the  Red, White and Blue, Stars and Stripes, they are waving the flag that was flown in opposition of the Old Glory. 

These self proclaimed American patriots who say they have great love and admiration for our military, on a daily basis call Democrats and liberals Nazi's. Everything the left tries to do for the good of the country and humanity, these jackasses equate it to living in Nazi-Germany...Nazi's being an enemy we fought in WWII. Yet many of these "patriots" have swastika tattoos, carried Nazi flags on January 6th, wear anti-Semitic clothing.  

So why the fuck are you calling me the Nazi? Why the fuck are you calling yourself a "patriot?"

All these people are the most vocal about their patriotism and make a point to let everyone know how much they love America and the Flag. All of these people fly these anti-American flags right next to their American flag, and sadly, many with their flag with a man's name on it...Trump...That is the least American, least Patriotic shit you can do.

So yes, now when I'm walking my dogs by a house where I don't know the people who live there and I see the American flag, I sometimes cringe. I most likely don't and won't trust whoever lives in that house. I am skeptical whenever I see the Flag. It's sad. I never expected to be this way.

Trumpism weaponized American Patriotism. They made Patriotism about hate instead of community and unity. With every new day I'm more skeptical of my fellow Americans and nervous about will happen next because the lack of true patriotism and the massive volume of hate that exists now.

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.

Ted Cruz is a Lying Fucking Idiot

 

Last night, President Biden signed Executive Orders, reversing Executive Orders Trump had signed into place and of course, suddenly Republicans are against the use of Executive Orders. Odd, since they didn't mind Trump using Executive Orders 218 times in 4 years. Trump and Republicans often bitched about President Obama's use of the Executive Orders. President Obama used it 276 in 8 years compared to Trump's 218 in 4 years. Showing off that lovely Republican hypocrisy I have written about quite a bit since August.

 "It is what it is" right? But then there is Traitorous, lying Ted Cruz. I want to remind you all that Ted Cruz continuously helped spread the Trump lie that the election was stolen and fraudulent, with absolutely NO PROOF! Ted Cruz signed onto a lawsuit and asking the Supreme Court to throw out the Votes from the State of Pennsylvania. He support all the Trump challenges to throw out votes from large black population centers, including here in Pennsylvania, aimed at Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. So imagine our surprise here in PA when Ted Cruz tweeted this out last night.

With this statement Ted Cruz has made one of two things very clear...

1. Ted Cruz is a clueless, fucking idiot who has no idea what the Paris Climate Agreement is.

Or

2. Ted Cruz officially announced his plan to be Trump 2.0 and is courting the love and votes of the Trumpism Cult, knowing that most of them are clueless, fucking idiots that don't know what the Paris Climate Agreement is.

Or it could be both which would actually very much like Trump.

So, for Ted Cruz and the idiots, this is the Paris Climate Agreement:

"The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties (countries) at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016.

Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.

To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century.

The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first time, a binding agreement brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects."

Other than the name, because it was signed there, it has nothing to do with Paris. It's about the entire planet, you jackass! 

Ted Cruz would like people to believe that Southwestern PA is still all coal mines and steel mills. That Pittsburgh is like drab, dank scene from "The Deer Hunter."  (side note: a great deal of that movie was shot in Ohio as well as PA, WV, WA and Thailand) 

Yes, Pittsburgh still has manufacturing jobs. Pittsburgh 5 leading industries are Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, Financial and Business Services, Information and Technology and Energy. Cruz wants dummies to believe that only means gas and coal, but it's just as much about Solar, Wind, Nuclear and Intelligent Buildings. Pittsburgh has been changing for many years now. As far as "Rust Belt" cities go, it's been well ahead of the curve in adapting and changing with the times. When the housing market took a shit a number of years back and the economy went in the shitter, "Rust Belt" cities got wrecked. But the housing market in the Pittsburgh area held strong and didn't go in the tank, because the region had already started adapting and drawing White Collar industries and companies there.

Having been born and raised in Cleveland, I hate having to defend Pittsburgh, but facts are facts and Ted Cruz and Trumpism doesn't want you to know facts. Including the fact that he wanted every single vote from Pennsylvania thrown out. But suddenly he is pretending to be the great defender of PA from Texas. The same fucking guy from Texas that filed a lawsuit against PA to throw out our votes.

I have repeatedly asked Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and many other Republican Assholes to come to PA and tell me to my face why my vote and the votes of millions of Pennsylvanians shouldn't have counted. They won't. He won't. Because he knows he's full of shit. Because he's a coward. Trump said Cruz's father killed JFK. Cruz took it. Trump said Cruz's wife was ugly. Not only did he take it, he became Trump's bitch and carried all his lies, misinformation, and treason. 

Every move Ted Cruz has made in the last year and every move he continues to make will be solely to get Trump's support and the support of Trump's cult to back his run for the Presidency in 2024.

Don't trust him. Don't believe him. Don't support him.

Fuck You Ted Cruz!

Sincerely, 

Angry Pennsylvanian 

Josh Hawley is a Criminal, Traitor and Asshole

 

Republican Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri has spoken up and made it clear he has chosen Authoritarianism over Democracy. He has left the Republican Party and is all in with Trumpism. 

Hawley announced he will be objecting to the Electoral College confirmation on January 6th. Hawley feels concerns about election integrity need to be heard. To be clear, the Trump Campaign has lost all the recounts. The Trump Campaign, the GOP, Trump supporters have lost at least 60 court cases contesting the election results. The Supreme Court has throw these nonsensical cases out twice. Judges, the majority of them Republican, have repeatedly blasted the legal teams bringing these cases with no proof or legal standing to them. Republican election officials have also shot down the Trumpers baseless claims. It's all bullshit.

But here's Hawley, a known asshole, who's going to grandstand to try and throw out not only the Electoral College vote, but also the Popular vote. He wants to not count the vote of over 82 million Americans and install a Trump Authoritarian rule...Is it that, or is it just grandstanding to gain Trump supporters to help further his, asshole, political career?

I mentioned Hawley being a known asshole. Here's a taste. I wrote this back in July about Hawley in my MONDAY MOANING POST:

"Republican Senator from Missouri, Josh Hawley wrote a letter to the NBA Commissioner criticizing the league for allowing players to wear messages that promote social justice on their jerseys this summer but not allow messages that support law enforcement or are critical of China’s Communist Party....Fuck this guy...Hawley is trying to play the Fox News card of "Shut up and Dribble"...

But then he tweets an image of an email he got from ESPN's #1 basketball reporter, Adrian Wojnarowski...Woj, as he is known, (based off my Twitter research, because I could give two shits about basketball) called out Hawley for his bullshit, and I'll go ahead and say it, ignorant, racist view on shit...Plus Woj acting like he was writing on my blog as he told Hawley to "Fuck Off!"

Just to be clear, Hawley less then a month ago bitched about the evil "cancel culture" but here he is trying to cancel someone for saying what they think...

For real...This guy who is crying that a reporter told him to "fuck off," is a Senator from a state who has a mayor that doxxed Black Lives Matter/Defund the Police protesters...You fuckers seem to be the Anti-American ones...

As for Hawley's state of Missouri, that doesn't even have a fucking NBA team, their COVID cases have doubled in the last month...Maybe start worrying about the people your represent...You don't represent any NBA player...

Oh yeah...Senator Josh Hawley, Fuck off, you fucking fuck!"

But it doesn't end there. Hawley says he's concerned about the integrity of the election. Well in PA we found 3 cases of voter fraud and all were Trump voters. I believe Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick owes my Lt. Governor John Fetterman and the people of PA $3 Million. But Republican voter Fraud doesn't end there. Trump and his Press Secretary both screwed up their MAIL IN BALLOTS. Oh, and then there is Josh Hawley. Joshy-boy has committed voter fraud too. Josh registered and voted under his sister's address in Missouri, a residence that he doesn't live at. As a matter of fact he doesn't have a residence in the state he represents, but he built a nice big home in VIRGINIA.

It's clear, Hawley is another one of those GOP members who act like they are Johnny Red, White and Blue, but just act. If he was the patriot he tries to prop himself up to be he wouldn't stabbing Democracy in the back all in the name of Trumpism. He would be standing up against Trumpism, for Democracy. Josh Hawley is a Criminal, a Traitor and an Asshole. 

Josh Hawley, "FUCK OFF!"

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.
