And before you start, yes, The Duke, John Wayne was a draft dodging bitch...Just like Donny boy, he got bullshit deferments...While other Actors and regular men in his same age group and younger were sent off to fight in WWII, he made 13 movies and bullshitted this country that he was the greatest American hero and patriot...
It baffles me who Republicans look up to, believe and support...
Yesterday, in Ohio, Trump said this about Biden... “he is going to do things that nobody ever, would ever think even possible because he’s following the radical left agenda. Take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything. Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy. Our kind of energy.”
1st, Biden nor any previous Dem President has taken or tried to take anyone's guns...grow up and stop drinking that bullshit NRA Kool-Aid people.
2nd, Unlike Trump, Biden is actually religious person...like he's actually a practicing Catholic...So I have question for the Christian Right....Where did Trump worship yesterday? Or last Sunday? Or the Sunday before that? Or before that? How about the one before that? Ok, the Sunday before that? Or the Sunday before that? Or the one before that?
Or are you willing to acknowledge, just like his Trump University, Trump, Airlines, Trump Casinos, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Charities, that his faith, his Christianity is a scam as well?
....
While I'm here pissed off and losing my shit over the seemingly countless number of idiots that listen and support everything this dolt says...
COVID Stimulus talks have fallen apart as Dems came down to a 2 Trillion dollar deal but the White House and Republicans wouldn't go up to 2 Trillion...There are millions of people in this country out of work, no fault of their own...And While Republicans and The White House want to pump insane amounts of money into the Pentagon budget, besides slipping money into Trump's wall building and hooking Wall Street up with a 4 Trillion dollar "COVID Relief" slush fund...It is reported that Trump called GOP leaders repeatedly during the talks and said he "Will not sign a bill that bails out state and local governments."
Never mind that state and local governments have been stressed and stretched to the max mostly because his mismanagement of this Pandemic....This is an Election year...Do Republicans really think this is going to help with reelection? They are telling the everyday Americans to fuck off! This is the party that always acts as if they are the fiscally savvy one and Trump always brags about his great business dealings and how great he's done with the economy...
But, an analysis of economic performance since World War II under Democratic versus
Republican presidents shows that the claims that Republicans are better at managing the economy are FALSE....Data has shown that the economy has performed much better during
Democratic administrations...Economic growth, job creation and
industrial production all have been stronger....
And don't forget that while Trump and Republicans, lead by Mitch McConnell scream against "Socialist Programs"...Kentucky, which McConnell represents, has the highest use of Food Stamps in the country...Owsley County which McConnell "works" so diligently for is 99.2% white and 95% Republican...McConnell and his Republican friends and those Republicans he represent all hate "Socialist Programs" while they are sucking up plenty from those programs...By the way, McConnell's net worth is $22.5 million...
Like I said, it baffles me who Republicans look up to, believe and support.

What baffles me is why we look to politicians as heroes or those who make our lives better. That is the fallacy. Politicians don't make our lives better, nor do they affect the economy. Businesses do, and look what has become of that? Slaves to stakeholders. You know, Labor Day is coming up and it's a freaking holiday that is kinda "so what?" You've worked your ass off, and I'll bet that like me, we worked on a lot of Labor Days. There's no real celebration of that. Nobody is thanked or respected.
Tim, what I worry about is that nobody cares about us - the regular human being. The guy who lives in far away corner of Pennsylvania and the rural portion of California - nobody cares. The poor in the inner cities, and those who try to eek out a living in Appalachia. These dolts sit in their ivory towers in DC, LA, NYC, and make generalizations about us.
We make do with what we have and we try to live our lives as our parents would have wanted, all while worrying about our children, and in my case grandchildren. What have we left them? We have to go through our cycle on this spinning chunk of rock and realize that nothing is what it seems. Religion? I'm Catholic, so you can imagine what I might think there. Mix in televangelists and I'm disgusted by them. Leadership? Where? In what fashion?
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are good people out there doing what they can, but how many are tied down due to some reason? Be it regulation, or having to worry about being called out for something.
Heroes? All our heroes are dead - it's a term that is utilized far too loosely anyway. There's no heroes today, only those in it for themselves and their cronies. It doesn't matter if you have an R or D after your name. They play to the polls once every 2, 4, or 6 years for our vote.Our heroes are dead because my generation - the baby boomers quite simply fucked it up. Now the younger generations are left to clean up the mess.
God help our kids and grandkids.
Sorry for the rant.
You know you never have to apologize for dropping a rant with me!
