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.

What We Did Forget

 


"Never Forget" has long been a battle cry in the United States and after September 11, 2001 it became cemented in our minds. After the 9/11 attacks Americans and even our politicians set differences aside. We all came together in support of first responders, New Yorkers, the people lost at The Pentagon, the families of those lost on Flight 93. We ( us non-New Yorkers) didn't hate the Yankees that year. Most of the country could cheer for the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl. The U.S. flag was flying everywhere you turned. We cared a little more about our neighbors. 

We were willing to let the government take away a little bit of our freedom in the name of fighting terrorism. We sent care packages to troops who were sent off to fight "the war on terror." We gave donations for any fundraiser in the name of first responders. Through the horrible events of 9/11, as the dust cleared we learned of amazing stories of bravery, sacrifice, compassion. Strangers helping strangers. Strangers rallying together on hijacked plane, to not let what happened three times already, happen a fourth time. Evil arrived and it brought out the best in us.

But it didn't last. Yes, every year on 9/11 we post pics and write "Never Forget," but our every day actions show the rest of the year show differently. 

As time went on we all drifted back to a regular day to day. We and our politicians dug back into our political trenches. First in ways like withholding military funding and money for the First Responders Survivors Fund, as a way of grandstanding and playing politics with people's lives. Then, as we were struck with another test of our resiliency and humanity, a large portion of our country, who have pumped full of lies from Trump, Republican politicians, Fox News, Alex Jones and and other right wing media outlets, refused to come together to fight off COVID. They were willing to give up freedoms with "The Patriot Act" but wearing a mask is a bridge too far. They want Trump's name on the COVID Vaccine, but they refuse to get the vaccine.

"Never forget! Never forget! NEVER FORGET!"

Yet 650,000 Americans have died in the last couple years since COVID hit, with more every day and most people forgot them seconds after they passed. The number of COVID deaths is equal to 9/11 happening 217 times. Why is it so easy to forget the lives lost from COVID?

Americans yelled "Never Forget" after the Sandy Hook school shooting, but nothing legitimate was done by our leaders to prevent it from happening again. School shootings and mass shooting continue and many forgot all about the young children from Sandy Hook who would have been starting high school this year.

Americans seem to have no problem forgetting. Forgetting loss, forgetting facts, forgetting science, forgetting history. What we forgot most was our decency, compassion, humanity, our togetherness.

So when you post your yearly "Never Forget" bullshit, think about how much you really have forgotten.

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 1/18/21

 


While polls are showing Trump's approval ratings are at an all-time low, those polls are nation wide and include people from all parties. In a poll of just “Republicans” Trump has a 77% job approval rating...mind you, for the last 3 months he has done nothing that would be considered doing the job of the President. 85% believe he shouldn’t be impeached. While a decent number except he lost the election, 70% don’t trust U.S. elections...not realizing that if there was no Electoral College, Reagan would have been the last Republican President ever.

Yes, much of this is because of the non-stop lies spewed by Trump. But he wasn't alone. A vast majority of idiots in the Republican party as well as the full force of Fox News went along with his four years of lying. They helped push his lies, propaganda and misinformation, like the corner boys pushed drugs for Avon Barksdale. (If you don't get that reference you need to watch The Wire)
What happened after that was the GOP is being overrun by weak minded dolts who have to immerse themselves in conspiracy theories, so that they can ignore facts and go along with the bullshit and lies. Leading the way is these QAnon idiots. These idiots will tell you the government is controlled by Satanic child molesters, and "we need to save the children," but they didn't seem to give a damn about the children their leader Trump had taken away from their parents and locked in cages. Odd how they scream about the evil's of government while the party they support and claim to be a part of, has been in the majority and the White House the last four years.

There is a entire faction of the Republican party that is willing to accept an Authoritarian-Trumpism-White Supremacists government. People who side with the Klan and the Nazis. These people lead the charge in screaming about ANTIFA, and blaming ANTIFA for everything they do, and anything they don't like. ANTIFA which stands for Anti Fascist. I saw a dope at the attack on the Capitol wearing a hoodie that said "Anti-ANTIFA." So this group of Red, White and Blue, self-proclaimed "Patriots" are support Fascism. They don't make a much sense do they?

These are the same people who spent the Summer counter protesting Black Lives Matter and repeatedly screaming "Blue Lives Matter!" But there's plenty of video of them beating the shit out of police officers at the Capitol. There's video where they are chanting "fuck the blue." They beat a police officer to death.

Everything these people say they believe and stand for, the do the opposite.

This isn’t going away when he’s out of office. This is problem our country will have to deal with for decades to come. If you don’t believe me, look at those numbers at the top again. It doesn't bother me that while 81 million Americans vote the same as I did, 74 million voted for the other guy. That's great. Elections should have massive turnout. It bothers me that way too many of those 74 million refuse to believe math and science. They refuse to accept reality and proof...Realize Trump is on tape saying he knew how deadly COVID is, back in February, while he was lying to the public about it. These people chose to believe the lies instead of the tape. We now have 400,000 Americans dead from COVID. He and his enablers lied about the elections with no proof, while actual proof showed they were lying. They lost 64 court cases trying to fight the election results, including getting tossed out of the Supreme Court. The members of his cult chose to stick with the lies instead of the facts.

So many talking heads are saying "This isn't America." Bullshit! This is America and you need to realize it. This shit isn’t going away when Trump does. Joe Biden’s corny line about this being a fight for “the soul of the nation” is for real. This country's soul is severely fractured. I'm not sure we can heal it.

If you read all of this, and you support Trumpism...if you support the idea that people can attack the Capitol because their candidate lost an election...You are no patriot. You are a traitor. You are an enemy of this country and our Constitution.

In closing, take 9 minutes and watch this.

Farewell 2020, Hello 2021, More of the Same

 



It's New Year's Eve and it seems like a lot of people are hanging their hats on 2021 being a better year. Kind of hard to do worse right? I don't know folks. 

The U.S. is sitting at 344,000 COVID deaths and the infection rate and death rate are not slowing down. The Trump administration talked a big game about have 20 million people vaccinated by now but we're only at 2 million. We may be stepping into 2021 but the vast majority of things won't get better tonight or tomorrow or next week. If we are lucky we are months and months away from things getting better COVID-wise. 

Politically it's still going to be a mess. We have assholes like JOSH HAWLEY to deal with. This dipshit says he’s standing up for the 74 million Trump voters. He’s doing so by saying us 82 million who voted for Biden don’t count. This is treason. This is leading to authoritarianism and from his past history, it’s subtle but not too subtle racism. Hawley, just say what you mean: 'Those minorities that voted for Biden shouldn't count. As a matter of fact I view all of you 82 million people as niggers.'


 Besides Hawley we have to deal with that prick Mitch McConnell and closet case Lindsey Graham. Today it was reported that a couple House republicans expect at least 140 of their colleagues to object to the Election results. I get that people say this is just a show and no big deal because it's all procedural bullshit, but the fact is, it's damaging to Democracy and how people, not just citizens here, but around the world, view free and fair elections. 140 House Republicans are traitors to the oath they took, The Constitution, Democracy and the people. The GOP is full of traitors and have made it clear they are not the Patriots they claim to be and excepting of a Trump Authoritarian rule.

Democracy is under attack, Thanks to Trump and his Trumpism cult.

So flipping the calendar isn't going to fix that.

2020 has gotten the blame for every bad thing that has happened. Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, 2020 got the blame instead of cancer and old age. Eddie Van Halen died and instead of Cancer and a stroke, 2020 took the bullet. Kobe Bryant and his daughter died. 2020 got the blame instead of the helicopter/weather and whatever else. Countless other died and people lazily blamed the year instead of the illness or violence.

Wildfires in the U.S. and Australia destroyed, lives and property and wildlife. 2020 got the blame, even while scientists and a young girl tried telling us, that shit is our fault.

Life is all fucked up and lots of shitty things happened and we blamed the year instead taking a long, hard look in the mirror.

Shitty things happen every year.

-
In 2020 My oldest daughter did not get to have her traditional Senior year of high school. No graduation, no Prom, none of that. Then she lost out on going away to college as she is forced to do the first year online, from home. My son is doing high school from home and he has a focus on art classes which is a bitch from home, not getting the full hands on teaching and doing things in a proper environment. My youngest daughter is doing school from home as well. Fourth grade, and they have made it clear the focus is on Math and English. There is going to be a whole generation of kids lagging behind when it comes to science, social studies, art, music and physical education.

 2020 lead to an increase of depression, frustration and alienation. It's also shown the true colors of many. It's clear now, there is a frightening number of Americans that don't care about others. Wearing a mask to protect themselves and others, including loved ones, is too damn inconvenient and is part of 'a hoax to control us all.' Americans love to talk about how tough we are and we can do anything and deep down inside we're all Marines and can "Adapt and Overcome."

BULLSHIT!!! 2020 has shown us that far too many Americans are selfish. Far too many Americans are pussies. They can't handle staying home for a month, let alone a week. Too many aren't willing to do anything for the good of the country or humanity. Too many can't "Adapt and Overcome." They're just full of shit, selfish, pussies and they are part of the reason why there are 344,000 dead Americans and counting.

Americans have overrated themselves. The only way 2021 is better is if we start being better humans. Otherwise it's just going to be the same fucking shit-show we've been living in.


(Sorry, this post feels a little disjointed, but fuck it, it's 2020! Right?)


Happy New Year!

The Day After

 



It is the day after the election here in the United States and we don't know who won yet. As stressful and annoying that is, it's okay. I want every single person who voted, to have their vote counted, unlike the sitting President who last night said he wanted the counting to stop. 5 Pennsylvania Republicans also filed a lawsuit trying to stop the counting of provisional ballots. I don't understand how a party that always beats it's chest talking about our greatness and how we are example of Democracy for the world, is trying to silence/void people's votes.

I guess it all falls in-line with the Republican HYPOCRISY  I have posted about MULTIPLE  times. I won't put in all the links, just scroll, you'll find them.

There is a something that popped in my head yesterday that I tweeted out and I stand by it. If the Democratic Party would have run Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for President, he would have won in an epic landslide. The landslide so many of us wanted. That's how fucked up this country is. That's how fucked up politicians are. People don't like or respect them (generally speaking) anymore. We have a "Reality Tv" star/conman as our President, and he would have been smoked by a professional wrestler/actor. This is where we are.

I'm truly baffled by the number of people that voted for Trump. What are they voting for?  This Orange, jackass who has LITERALLY LIED PUBLICLY EVERY SINGLE DAY. This is a man who has supported White Supremacists, Domestic Terrorists, Lied about how bad COVID was going to be. (It's on tape) Continues to lie about how bad COVID is. We are over 230,000 dead Americans. Over 1,000 died yesterday. He had children taken from their parents and locked in cages and now we have over 500 kids who's parents we can't find. So those immigrants/refugees so many of you didn't want here. They're here and your tax dollars are paying for them. So what is it that you are voting for? You voted for a lying, racist, conman, who supports the idea of domestic terrorists kidnapping a Governor. WHY? Please explain why? And you are not allowed to say because of the economy. 1. The economy is shit. 

2. 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.

So why? 

Talking heads keep hyping up the highest voter turnout ever and Biden winning the highest popular vote ever. Yeah, so? Idiotically we don't count popular vote. Also, While Biden has gotten the most votes ever, Trump is number two on that list. that's sad and frightening.


Let's talk about Polls. Can we all agree that Polls are stupid. They are religiously wrong. Pollsters don't look at a big enough sample and oh yeah, people fucking lie. Stop listening to Polls. Stop doing Polls because it doesn't matter what media group, news outlet, or independent agency is doing them, they are all bullshit.

 

As for the election process, the stats that came out today that key battleground areas had their postal service processing production slowdown from 95% to between 61% and 82%. And then there is this...


That's a lot of missing ballots. I say this as not just as a Democrat but as an American, all these missing ballots deserve to be counted and the fact that they are missing gives both campaigns reason to bitch. Mail-in voting has greatly leaned towards Biden and he should contest every state with missing ballots, including those he has won. This is an election where a padded lead matters. Remember we are living in a "Reality TV" presidency and optics matter.

It's 2020 and the country that brags that it is the pillar of democracy can't seem to figure out how to do fair and unfucked with elections.

In the end, nothing changes at all. No matter who actually gets to 270, nothing changes with the Congress. Two sides dug in so hard that they refuse to work together and refuse to work for the people. Yes, this election shows Dems making inroads with the people of Texas, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, but also showed Republican support increasing in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Michigan and other places. It seems that that party lines mean more than issues. It means more than 230,000 dead fellow Americans. It seems the country is more divided, and unwilling to try to come together.

 While there was huge voter turnout, races (not just presidential) are very tight. I see this as a chance for a third party to step up and try to reach from both sides and bring people together. I don't want to say make compromises, but building on the things "we" can agree on instead of what we don't.

But somehow, the two parties will come together to crush any hope of that.

America is broken as fuck.

America: I Am Sickened

 


Now some asshole will see this and tweet at me, "then leave"...Or 'murica, love it or leave it'....Well, first off you redneck-fucktard, IT'S AMERICA...You people make me sick with you're ignorant ass, speak...Repeat, it's AMERICA....Second, if I wanted to leave, I couldn't, because no other country in the world is accepting AMERICANS these days...That's because we lead the league in COVID stupidity...In case you stopped counting, we past over 180,000 deaths in the AMERICA...But the brainwashed fools are okay with Trump's feelings on that topic of, "It is what it is"....That's just the first reason I am sickened...

I'm not just saying this for some literary effect...Since seeing the video of the attempted murder of Jacob Blake by police the other night on Instagram, I have felt Physically ill...Then I see the avalanche of lies being spewed at the RNC and I get pissed and anxious...Then I see them breaking laws at the RNC and this countries lawmakers are just letting it happen...I want to puke...The system is broken and all of this emboldens Trump to just do whatever he wants...

Then last night, I was laying in bed, having trouble sleeping...I put on the scanner app on my phone and listened to Kenosha...Someone opened fire on protesters...There were multiple wounded...On the scanner it was clear one was dead...and 3 were wounded...Eventually a call came through of another wounded person walking into the ER and was looking to give police a description of the shooter...The description was the same as the one that came over the radio earlier...Now I was wide awake, angry, anxious and after one officer description I felt nauseous....after the description was given it was said "Militia guy overreacted"....

Minutes later there was video on twitter...Victim shot in the head...People trying to save him...He still looked alive and they were wrapping a shirt around his head...But it wasn't for long...

As the night moved on, the prick got away...Then still photos and video clips came out...There was a video of a guy walking up to police describing the guy and then he gave an independent journalist the description...The journalist, said "I saw him, I have video of him"...

Then morning came and we had tons of video...Video that was sickening...Video of him shooting the protester in the head and at others...He stood over the man, pulled out his cell phone, did something with it and then ran as other protesters came to try and save the man...A number of protesters chased him, as others seeing what he had done and that he's fully armed with his assault rifle, ran away from him...Someone tried to stop him...hit him, knocked him down, he sat up and started shooting at everyone near him...He got to his feet aimed his gun down the block and fired off more shots...Sirens from police cars and ambulances can be heard...he turns and runs then walks towards the oncoming police...He turns a corner near a gas station...He points down the street where he was just shooting and then walks away...The police let him walk away...

Are you sick yet? I know I am and it gets worse...

More angles are posted...Then there is the video that made me want to puke all day long...I saw it just after the Sheriff of Kenosha who has a past of saying some racist ass shit....


That is from the Kenosha News in 2018...But he stood there today blasting the idea these militia guys had when the offered to be deputized, and he blasted them for what happened...Although it wasn't nearly as tough as it should have been...Especially as the video I eluded to was making it's way through social media...

Video of heavily armed Kenosha police in armored vehicles thanking the White Supremacist Militia boys for being there..."We appreciate you being here"..."We got a few bottle of water for ya"...One of the people they handed a bottle of water to was Kyle Rittenhouse, strolling the streets of Kenosha with his AR-15 and backpack of supplies...Kyle Rittenhouse is 17...Kyle Rittenhouse came from Illinois...Kyle Rittenhouse opened fire on Black Lives Matter Protesters, killing two and wounding others...The police let Kyle Rittenhouse walk away...He was arrested this afternoon after he had gotten back to Illinois...

I am physically sickened...Sickened that a 17 year old asshole felt it was his right to shoot protesters...Why is the opening pic of this post linking him to those St. Louis dolts...Because the RNC put those two on stage to speak when their only claim to fame or politics is that they pointed guns at Black Lives Matter protesters...So shit, why wouldn't this little fucktard think it's ok? The Republican party is selling hate fear and way too many people are buying it...This White Power kid bought it long ago if he's rolling into other cities and states to scare protesters with his gun...FUCK! Sooner or later he's gonna use it...

And yes, fuckwads on the right have defended him..."He was defending businesses"...Yeah, right...He hates black people...Pasty fucker hates tan people...He hates people who support Black Lives Matter...But there was Tucker Carlson Ann Coulter and Alex Jones and far too many dolts on twitter defending him....

I'm sick...I hate feeling this way...I fought with myself all day about writing this...I want to delete all my social media...I want to not watch and read the news...I want to not know that the world is a fucked up place...I don't want to know that politicians don't give a fuck about us...I wish I didn't know that police forces all over this country have numerous white supremacists in their ranks...I want to turn it all off because it's got my stomach in knots...But I can't...How can I fight against it...how can I teach my kids the right way if I ignore it...I can't...So I'll go puke and jump back in...

This isn't what I was taught America was suppose to be...I chose to load my college education up with history classes, and I learned so much of the bad and the good about this country...This isn't what we are suppose to be...This country was built on protest...now the government tries to crush protests like some evil dictatorship we use to scream against...Except if the protesters are white and doing the bidding of the party that is in power...Those violent and threatening protesters are "Very good people"....I am sickened at what this country is...I feel like we are going backwards...But maybe we never went as forward as we thought or were taught...

How broken is this? No offense to Doc Rivers...I love him dearly...But he's a basketball coach and we, not his player but citizen of the United States of AMERICA, shouldn't have to look to him for guidance and leadership...It shouldn't take basketball players, not playing playoff games to get people to realize the problems going on here...But since none of our so-called leaders can do it, I guess we have to go with Doc....

Lying, Asshole Trump

 Two Draft Dodgers and a Jewish Socialist walk into a bar...Oh wait, that's not actually the Jesus from those religious texts, that's American Jesus, who only loves America and Capitalism and teaches love and forgiveness for all...Except those that might not look like us...Or the ones that don't think like us...Or that don't believe the same cult shit as us...

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.

Trump Doesn't Plan on Leaving



Yeah, Trump has no plans of leaving...This picture is taken from the closest point you can get to the White House...How about that big wall...This is something a dictator would do before he has fully taken power...THIS previous blog outlines the Fascist playbook, which the Trump Administration is using...And this morning I wake up to hear that Trump is saying the November Election should be postponed or delayed, because of the COVID pandemic and because mail in voting is slow and not secure...

Ummm, Mail in voting that he, his family, VP Pence and his wife, and most of this administration all use...and the COVID pandemic...That COVID pandemic he completely mismanaged...No you child fucker, those are not valid excuses!

Also The Constitution doesn't allow you to do such a thing...Remember The Constitution? Here's a HISTORY CLASS about that!

My fellow Americans, it's time to knuckle up...This ignorant, racist, fascist asshole has to go.!

You better make sure you are registered to vote, and even though you may not like Biden, or think he's too old, (me) just like Trump and at least half the politicians in DC, or you think he's not all there, or whatever you don't like about him...You have vote for crazy, dunk uncle Joe...Look at it like you're voting for whoever his VP is...

You want America to be great? Hell, you want America to just be ok? you need to vote Trump out.

COVID 19 (blog 5)




"America, Fuck Yeah!"




Nothing gets Americans pupped up and full of pride and we can beat anything like a good ole show of military might...OK, so the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds aren't used in battle but Navy and Airforce jets flying over U.S. cities gets people charged up...

Aviator covered eyes,
Full balls, 
Can't lose!

(I'm copyrighting that shit and putting it on shirts!)

The thing is...While these flyovers may have turned up the National Pride...It also turned up the stupidity....



Nice "social distancing" assholes!

'Let's go see the jets flyover...They aren't really doing anything but flying, but lets go and crowd together with strangers and look up in the air...




Seriously, you people in New York and New Jersey, you see and hear aircraft all the time...I'm not trying to be an asshole and shit all over this act of patriotism and chest thumping...But being an asshole comes naturally....Also, these flyovers, cost $60,000 per hour...I think frontline workers would have appreciated that money being spent on equipment and testing instead chest planes flying above.



Especially when you fucking people are out there practically humping each other while looking at planes!...Way to go! Keep spreading the fucking COVID...But as long as your balls are full of patriotism so you can get your red, white and blue boner!

"America, Fuck Yeah!"
'COVID gonna kill more
Than the Vietnamese did!'


Have a day.

Royal Bullshit





Yes, I have something to say about this shit...I'm really getting sick of this idiotic hero worship for these two....


Just so we are all fucking aware, this guy isn't going to take a job cleaning toilets at a fucking Walmart...He's not going to be flipping burgers in some bar or diner...He's fucking rich! Not including all the Royal money he's been taking and who knows how much stashed away, he inherited 9 million dollars from his dead mother...And he's married to a shitty actress who made solid money and already has a voice over deal with Disney...And we all know they're going to most likely land a "reality" show...You just millions of dollars to watch them slum it around Canada acting like regular people...Just except they can do whatever they want because they are rich as fuck...

So yes, they are stepping away from "Royal duties"...They are distancing themselves from an evil, twisted family...Getting away from the racist bullshit she takes...Way to go...But why wouldn't Harry do this...Dude has no chance at the throne, so why would he want to do shit for his fucked up family...He's cashing in his chips and getting lost...But all of this is mostly a PR move....A rich couple walking away from being insanely rich to just be rich....Its a PR move only rich people can make...

And Americans...and the American media...What the fuck is wrong with you...Stop with this obsession with the Royal Family...This is a family that literally raped and pillaged...They stole people's land for themselves...The list of atrocities committed in the name of the Royal Family is staggering...And this country, America was founded on getting away from these evil fucks, so stop sucking on their royal balls!

Monday Moaning (Make America Smart Again)



America...The greatest country in the world...Well, at least that's what we Americans say...And what the hell do I know, I haven't lived anywhere else...But this country was built on freedom...And if nothing else the idea of what America should be was some great shit...But I feel slowly the country has been going off the rails...Mainly because our political system has been corrupted...Originally a Government of the people, by the people, for the people...Now a Government of people, ignoring the people, for themselves...

So it is no surprise that so many people like the idea of Bernie Sanders shaking shit up...While a career politician, he's not the typical politician, and clearly hasn't worked well with the DC machine...If it wasn't for the DNC rigging the system, Sanders would be a pubic hair away from snagged the nomination away from Clinton....

Clinton is and has been a part of the machine...It's understandable why people don't like/trust her...She plays the games...She puts on fake accents when speaking to people in the south, or largely black groups...She panders to everyone but only looks out for those who line her pockets...And when she speaks at rallies, she sounds like an old hand crank siren, slowly revving into that god-awful wail or hers...Like a broken fucking trumpet....

Then we come to Trump...I totally get why people have gravitated to this ass-hat...He looks like a political outsider...He shoots from the hip when he speaks...Doesn't think shit through at all...just says what he feels, no matter how stupid it is...No matter how much of a lie it is...And my does he lie...But give him credit, he stands by his lies...He holds his ground...

He says he'll get things done and back it up with 'because I said so'....He says racist shit, that he doesn't think is racist...But it pulls in a group of dolts...He says Reality TV show guy stuff that has a catchy tag-line...Boom, he grabs another group of dolts...He pontificates about what a great business man he is, and that's how he's going to fix the economy and "Make America Great Again"...He grabs more dolts with that...Dolts that ignore that just about all his businesses have gone under...(The guy tried to sell steaks exclusively at Sharper Image!  Can you say retard?)   Or like Trump University, were a scam...He will tell you about Clinton possibly being indicted, but not the the numerous lawsuits that are pending against him...

Americans are sick of the way things have been...Parties drawing lines in the sand and not working together...Their representatives not voting how the people feel, but voting based on backroom deals...They're sick of delegates and super-delegates going against their vote...They're sick of stupid ass caucuses being decided by coin flips...They're sick of the Electoral College and just want a straight up and down popular vote...Americans aren't being listened to by the people that represent them...They're pissed...

So Trump is capitalizing off of this...The big DC outsider is going to shake things up...There's one problem...Trump isn't an outsider...Trump has been lining the pockets of City, State, and Federal government officials forever...Trump has put money in the pockets of politicians from both parties...Including his now rivals, Bill and Hilary Clinton...

Trump does what is best for him...He won't do what's best for you...Trump joins whatever party is best for him personally:

1964-1987 Democrat


1987-1999 Republican


1999-2001 Reform Party


2001-2009 Democrat


2009-2011 Republican


2011-2012 Independent


2012-Present Republican 



Trump may be bucking the Republican party, but he won't buck the system as much as you have been lead to believe....

A number of years ago I wrote a tongue and cheek blog about running for President...Well, maybe it's time to go for it...For real this time...

Let's MAKE AMERICA SEXY AGAIN!




Hmmm...3 British models as my campaign models may be held against me...But they sure seem to like us!

Maybe we need a better tag-line...


MAKE AMERICA SMART AGAIN!



Of course, the people that walk around wearing their " 'Murica " gear, or show themselves blowing shit up on facebook and then type  "  'Murica " are going to be bothered by this...Because they'll feel I'm calling them stupid...Well, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...Is it that hard for you to just write America...I find you to be less patriotic if you can't spell the country's name in full...

Any way...Here are a couple bullet points for my campaign...

*Legalize pot...Tax that shit just like alcohol and cigarettes...It's no worse for your health then those legal substances...So lets legally sell it, buy it, tax it, and use those tax dollars to help improve our fucked up public school systems...

*Do away with pennies...It costs 3 cents to make that stupid 1 cent coin...start rounding to the nearest nickle...

*Legalize Prostitution...Many of us provide services in our jobs...So do whores...People should stop looking down on them just because the perform acts for money, that most self respecting people wouldn't...I mean seriously...There are very few women out there who are gonna let you bang the hell out of them and then take a shit on their face....Or give you a blow job while you're taking a dump...
The benefits to this...Now we can regulate these women...Have them tested regularly, so there isn't a fear of disease...And most importantly...These gashes are finally paying taxes on all that cash they've been making eating cock!

*Civil Rights...Civil Rights is defined: "the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality."  Okay fuckers...That means everyone...White, Black, Hispanic, Gay, Straight, what the fuck ever...And no you are not allowed to drag religion into this...Remember separation of Church and State....Remember the First Amendment?  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

We are not a "Christian Nation"...We are a nation of many religions...Just as we are a nation of immigrants...Remember back in second when Sister Rose taught us about America being "The Great Melting Pot"...Then we all grew up and a bunch of us became idiots wanting to build Trump's wall because some how Mexicans stole your jobs...Last I checked you had no intention of picking of being out in the heat all day picking vegetables for $20 a day...

*Close the tax loopholes and stop with the insane tax breaks for corporations...Don't believe how bad it is...In 2011 Citigroup made $4 billion in profits and paid no federal income tax...from 2007-2011 General Electric made $26 billion in profits and not only paid no federal income tax, it got a $4.1 billion refund... Boeing gets approximately a $100 million refund from the IRS annually...Conoco Phillips, which is the fifth largest oil company in the United States, made $16 billion in profits from 2007 through 2009, but received $451 million in tax breaks...I can go on for day with this shit people...It's public record...But so many don't bother to look...

That's why we have to make AMERICA SMART AGAIN...So we can get control of our politicians...And get control of our country...


Have a week!
