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.

Afghanistan, Republican Bullshit and COVID

 

There is a mess of things I need to get off my chest and I'll start with the mess in Afghanistan. The Republican party and the media, both Left and Right leaning outlets have been shitting all over President Biden for going through with Pulling U.S. forces out of that hellhole, even while they all have said we should get out of there. 

It's time to speak some truth about this shit people. The GOP and many Democrats fully Supported President Bush sending out Troops in there 20 years ago, with no real plan of ending our time there. President Obama talked of wanting to get out but got loads of pressure from Republicans and lobbyists to stay, as well as not having a solid plan to get out. That asshole President Trump, went ahead and released 5000 Taliban prisoners and gave them a seat at the head of the table to negotiate the U.S. military withdrawal, giving them a watered-down, candy-coated treaty that basically said, don't shoot our guys and we'll leave. Then left it in the desk for President Biden to deal with, while bragging about the deal he worked with the Taliban and praising them and Republicans in Congress and Right Wing news twats like Fox News fully supported him. Now the GOP and their networks are trashing Biden for working with the Taliban and this garbage deal they all supported.

By the way, never forget the Taliban was born from the Mujahideen, who were guerilla fighters fully funded and armed by the United States to fight Russia from 1979-1989. We loved them so much Hollywood made a Rambo movie where he fought alongside the Mujahideen, and the original ending, dedicated the film to them.

Back to present day...

This week while evacuating over 100,000 people, our Military suffered a horrible loss of 13 lives. The Right used this to attack Biden and called for accountability, which he in a press conference, without hesitation took responsibility for the lives lost. Something Commanders in Chief do. Well, most do. Trump didn't while he was in office and 63 servicemembers died in Afghanistan, nor did grandstanding jackasses in the GOP, call for him to resign or be impeached over it, like they are now. Dickhead, JOSH HAWLEY this week was one of them, suddenly against our withdrawal from Afghanistan. I guess he for got when he tweeted at Biden in April that we should pull-out immediately. Something his father should have done! 

We also have had many Republicans and media members screaming how we need to help the Afghan people and get these refugees out of there, while in the same statement or tweet like Ted Cruz did, say how we shouldn't let them come here. Nothing like a son of a refugee telling refugees to fuck off! 

And yes, after losing 13 U.S. servicemembers, suddenly, many Republicans wanted us to stay there, and send more troops there. They're so angry about the lives lost, they want to risk more lives. For Fuck's sake, Kevin McCarthy in a press conference Friday changed his mind 4 times on whether we should have troops in Afghanistan permanently or not.

I find it incredibly hollow that so many in the media and the GOP said little to nothing about Afghanistan over the last 20 years, as well as saying nothing about the 2,372 U.S. Servicemembers who have died in Afghanistan over the last 20 years. The major news networks covered Afghanistan from 2015through 2019 for less that a hour of airtime combined. ABC: 16 minutes. CBS: 25 minutes. NBC: 16 minutes. Now, suddenly after 20 years war, lives lost, military funding and VA funding be held up in the name of playing politics, underpaid troops, now you care. They only care, because war, suffering and controversy boost ratings and poll numbers.

The biggest fact we all should know is there was no winning this thing. History has shown this. Afghanistan is a place of constant civil war. There are 14 religious sects (mostly fanatical) fighting for power and control. If U.S. forces stayed any number of years, they would be at risk. Whenever our forces started leaving a power grab was going to start. All these pundits and politicians have a shitload to say and criticize, but none...NONE of them have offered a real solution or a better plan. They are all just trying to get clicks, likes, and political points. 

Military members, especially those who have been in action or served in Afghanistan, gladly say what you wish, your perspective means a great deal more than some dick in a suit who spend his life in a studio, behind a desk, reading a prompter. Unfortunately the networks don't do much of that. (TRIGGER WARNING): Military guys, don't talk about how you fought or are fighting for my freedom. Have you fought for our security? YES! But the United States military has not fought for our freedom in DECADES. They have been used to fight for the "Country's" political and economic interests. I respect you dearly. You do a job I know I could never do and you are grossly underpaid.

To the COVID section...

What I am going to say next is not to belittle or try to take lightly the military deaths in Afghanistan...A few days ago when a suicide bomber killed 13 servicemembers and over a 100 civilians, that day more Americans died from COVID than all the U.S. military deaths over 20 years in Afghanistan. 900 just in Florida alone. Where is the "Pro-Life" party screaming for the head of GOP governors trying to ban mask mandates. GOP politicians and media figures pushing anti-vaccination bullshit? They pushing people to treat them self with medicine made for farm animals. These dolts are against science and doctors until horse de-wormer gives them the shits and they catch COVID. Suddenly they want a doctor's help. Fuck them, let them die!

I can say that here, I'm not allowed to on social media. These two images got me suspended on social media for "promoting self harm."

Yet they aren't stopping the people who spread anti-vaccination bullshit and anti-mask bullshit and 'go get some horse or goat or cow medicine and you won't get COVID' bullshit. 

I spend too much time on social media and lots of it trying to combat this ignorance that is running wild in this country. It rattles me. It angers me. I had someone (now former friend) private message me about why I get so worked up and post so much about it. (they are an anti-masker for kids in school) I had some shit to say.

I'll sum it up like this. Over 635,000 Americans have died from COVID. If that alone doesn't make you take this seriously, I don't know what will. I don't want businesses to shutdown again. Most won't survive it a second major shutdown. I don't want people losing jobs and homes and loved ones. Americans, we love sports and to talk about TEAM. If you can't get onboard with the team to stop the spread of death, I'm done with you. I have a 10 year old daughter, who is not yet eligible to get a COVID vaccine. Which means compared to the rest of our household, she's at the greatest risk of getting it bad. (especially since the Delta variant is hitting kids harder than the original) If my daughter gets COVID, you're all done. I burn this fucking world to the ground. 

I'm not being dramatic. This shit was preventable, but a bunch of ignorant-ass, fucktards, lead by Qanon dipshits and Trump, decided there is no greater freedom in the world than to be inconsiderate, selfish, assholes. The right to get sick and die a horrible death or just merely spread that death is the most important thing to them.

The stories of those who chose to not get vaccinated and fought against vaccines and masks, now dying, do not make me sad. they had plenty of time to get their shit straight and they chose ignorance and a death cult. But their choices are impacting us all now. So I will shame them. And if my child get COVID because of their ignorance...It's over.

One last thing for all you full of shit Republicans and Trumpers...

If Trump was still President today, he wouldn’t have gone to meet the returning U.S. military bodies as Biden did. He would be ignoring the COVID surge and not getting briefings on Afghanistan and a major hurricane, he’d be fucking golfing! 

Twitter and all it's Glorious Bullshit

I've been a heavy Twitter user for many years. I would guess since 2008. I can't tell you for sure because that original account was shutdown. So was the second and third and fourth and the fifth. I just started up number 6 and had to do some work at it, as number 5 was shutdown within minutes of me starting it and I never even tweeted. The only reason I was given for that permanent suspension was it was suspicious. Suspicious meaning they figured out it was linked to number 4. 

Number 4 never got a warning and was permanently suspended when I quote tweeted a post about Krysten Sinema caring more her horrible, cunty fashion sense, than about doing her job as a Senator for her constituents. What I said was she "needs her {*nt kicked in."  Based on what they said when the shut me down, it wasn't for my edited spelling of cunt, it was the kicked. They said it was "promoting violence." REALLY? There's nothing more American than that!?! 

 Ok, fine, that's in their rules, but I see a lot of violence promoted on Twitter. Including from members of congress. Republicans love to promote violence and their media outlets help push it, and Twitter does nothing. I can also watch angry anal sex porn videos on Twitter. Why don't the pearl clutching so-called conservative republicans scream about that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they banned Trump. After what, 6 years of lying, misinformation, hate speech, promoting violence, "mean tweets" and finally when his terrorist army tried to over throw the government and he tweeted a video saying he loved them. I'm not fucking impressed. And I brought up the "mean tweets" as the media called them because I wanted bring up the Republican hypocrisy how they love to bitch about my "mean tweets" or a cabinet nominee's "mean tweets" while they all ignored Trump's. Or Cruz's or Paul's. Yes, I said mine. I was report and suspended on accounts 2, 3 and 4 for being mean to Tucker Carlson and Josh Hawley and Lauren Boebert. 

Back during 2 and 3 they at least gave me warnings or 3 day or week long suspensions. This brings me to Marjorie Trump Greene, the Qanon Congresswoman. Today she was suspended for a week for COVID vaccine misinformation. This is her 4th suspension and second in under 2 weeks. But she is not permanently suspended. If it was mean, I'd be done. COVID misinformation may not be "Promoting Violence" but I would say it's just as bad. It's promoting stupidity. It's promoting a lack of caring and empathy. It's promoting death. 

Twitter is trying to do this dance of being a private company and we make up our rules and you have to follow them if you want to use our platform, while giving public figures...celebrities, athletes, politicians, "BLUE CHECKMARKS" more leeway than us "nobodies."  At the same time they're trying to not upset people, but there's no doing that. MTG supporters are pissed she can't spew bullshit for a week. I'm pissed she'll be back on in a week and isn't held to the same standard that I am.

Twitter tries to act like they want to do the "right thing" but honestly, I think they love the chaos. It keeps them in the news. All publicity is good publicity right? 

Twitter is like so many other so-called great American institutions. It's full of bullshit.

Presidents, Gas Prices and the Truth

 

Recently I have seen people on Facebook and Twitter, as well as in person, shit-talking President Biden about gas prices going up. Well folks, it's long overdue to clear some some shit up. 

First, Presidents often get too much blame. Not nearly enough blame is given to the 535 members of Congress, which just goes to show how little people actually know about how our system of government works. When talking about things like gas prices, Presidents also get too much credit.

Second, Gas is a commodity. It's bought and sold. Presidents don't just say, 'fuck it, lets raise the price of gas!' or 'I need better poll numbers, drop the price of gas!' It doesn't work like that dummies! It's basic economics, Supply and Demand! So gas prices were lower in Trump's last year...Why? Because there was a global pandemic. People were dying at a rapid rate. Travel bans were put in place around the country and world. People were staying home, working from home, attending school virtually. Get it!?! People were not using as much gas, which means there was low demand and a higher supply, which means prices are going to go down.

In this early part of President Biden's term, you had Winter storm blast Texas, who's Republican governor and state officials are so anti-regulation, that they didn't have their infrastructure equipped or prepared to deal with this storm. Refineries, gas lines, gas pumps, froze up, creating higher demand. That was followed by President Biden's administration getting a better handle on the global pandemic and getting more and more Americans vaccinated, which has lead to more businesses opening up, more states lifting restrictions and more travel bans lifted. Kids going back to in-person schooling, people going back to work, more flights available, more people traveling. This all has created a higher demand and a lowers supply, which makes the prices go up.

Low Demand + Higher Supply = Lower Prices

High Demand + Lower Supply = Higher Prices

Grow up, stop being stupid, read a book!

COVID, The Walking Dead and Us

 

I hate the TV show, The Walking Dead. I think it's stupid, stupid and annoying, simple minded and crap! My wife and oldest daughter are big fans and put up with me mocking it. I don't know the full deal of the show. while they're watching it, I find something else to do, even if it's just sitting their and shitting on people on Twitter. But I have caught enough in the background and having watched some, that I feel strong about my opinion. But I also see that this show gave us a warning, that we are clearly ignoring.

The zombies were caused by something. These fucking zombies represent something like a Pandemic. But what has been the number one enemy to all of the characters in this show? It was not the pandemic/zombies. It's their fellow humans...and to be technical, their fellow Americans. Throughout the show Americans are killing Americans, stealing from Americans, double crossing, trapping, raping, murdering fellow Americans, instead of uniting and working together to not only wipe the Zombies, but figure out what caused this and try to fix it. 

If you look at how Americans have behaved during COVID, you can see many are willing to go down that path. It started with people denying COVID was real, fueled even more by political leaders on the right who called it a "liberal hoax" as tool to "control us." We had a President, Trump who was on tape saying he knew how bad and deadly it was, but admitted he wanted and did downplay it. Even after the tapes came out he continued to downplay COVID and rally up his cult that it wasn't that bad and liberals just used it to attack him.

How bad wasn't/isn't it? 525,000 Americans dead and counting, that's how bad. And who has been the biggest enemy during COVID? Our fellow Americans. Starting from Trump, to members of Congress, to governors, state legislatures, mayors, to every day regular people who scream and cry about wearing masks. Who call wearing masks an infringement of their rights. 

 So many of these same people are willing to strip other Americans of abortion rights, voting rights and civil rights, but wearing a mask for the health and safety of all is just a bridge too far for them. There are Republican members of congress screaming for the need for schools to be open, but every singles Republican member of the House and the Senate voted against a COVID Relief bill that will give money to schools to help them better prepare to reopen safely...That will help push vaccinations out faster, including getting teachers and school staff vaccinated. These same people are screaming for small businesses to be able to reopen, but again, that bill they voted against included money to help small businesses keep their heads above water.

Americans claim to be tough and can beat anything. They love The Walking Dead, because it shows their definition of tough. Shooting, stabbing, fighting, killing, not realizing far too often they are fighting and killing each other instead of the pandemic. With our real life pandemic, the only toughness needed is patience, caring, respect for our fellow humans, wearing a mask and a bit of social distancing.

But every day there's another video of a selfish cunt that thinks they're being a tough American, screaming how they won't wear a mask. You're not tough! You're the weakest form of life.

This week, a number of states (with Republican Governors) started lifting mask mandates, and opening places to allow full capacity. We are a few months away from having a large portion of the population vaccinated and these dolts can't have just a bit of patience. President Biden called them out, saying they were using "Neanderthal thinking." Of course a bunch of Republicans have tried to turn this into their latest battle cry. They're now pro-Neanderthal. There's nothing like a sitting Senator, (Marsha Blackburn) singing the praises of the Neanderthals. I guess her and her fellow idiots missed that day in junior high when the teacher discussed that the Neanderthals went extinct 40,000 years ago!

I don't know how The stupid Walking Dead is going to end, but I do know if we keep electing ignorant, lying Republicans, we're going to go the way of the Neanderthals.

Rush Limbaugh Is Dead, Good.

 

Rush Limbaugh died this week and I had no intention of posting about it. My good friend BOB posted a rant about people trolling and celebrating his death online, a pointed out one of our flaws as humans, especially in this digital age where it's so easy to shit on people. I agreed with his post. I hated Limbaugh, I still hate him. People will always tell you hate is wrong, but how can you know love, if you don't know hate and vice-versa. But I thought, why pile on. I know the pain his loved ones are feeling, they don't deserve that.

Or do they? As I saw Republican politicians and "conservative"/"right wing" media praising this man and celebrating his "accomplishments" and showing my sympathy and respect to him than they have for the 500,000 Americans who have died from COVID, or for the Capitol Police Officers who lost their lives from the attack on January 6th, I started thinking about what he actually did. What he said. Who he really was. He was an awful fucking person.

Why shouldn't people celebrate Rush's death. In the 90's, this fucking scumbag had segment on his show, where he read off names of gay people who died from AIDS, while playing bells, whistles and horns, celebrating their deaths. Hate and division were his art and he made millions off of it. 

"You're a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out."

"Blacks are 12% of the population, who the hell cares!?!"

"Let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work."

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals look like Jesse Jackson?"

"Holocaust 90 million Indians? Only 4 million left? They all have casinos, what's to complain about?"

"We need segregated buses."

"The NAACP should get liquor stores and practice robberies."

"Women still live longer than men because their lives are easier."

"Take that bone out of your nose and call back" (said to a black female caller)

"If ant race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it's Caucasians."

"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."

Those are just a very small number of examples of Rush Limbaugh's sexism, racism and hate.   

Limbaugh lead the charge when it came to bashing "The Elites." Wait, what? Yeah, Millionaire, cigar smoking, on the best golf courses, pill popping junkie, five days a week rallied his ignorant listeners to hate "the elites," ignoring that he was one of them.

Republicans and Christian Conservatives gave Limbaugh great praise when he came out swinging and telling people Trump "wasn't a Republican." That was quickly followed by Rush, Christian Conservatives and the vast majority of the Republican Party laying down for Trump like a $10 Russian whore. Limbaugh carried Trump's "Birtherism" lie. He was a vocal COVID denier. And yes, he was one of the many loud voices pushing Trump's "Big Lie" about the election as well and a full throated supporter of the terrorists who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Maybe somewhere in his personal life, Rush Limbaugh was decent, but we never saw it and I find it hard to believe it was there to be seen. I don't want him to rest in peace. He can burn in hell. This bastard brought nothing good to the world and I don't think we should all place nicey-nice now that he's dead. He was a horrible person, fuck him!

Maybe I shouldn't have written this and stayed on the high ground. Does he win by his hate drawing out my anger? No! I've spent the last year using this blog and socially media (mostly) to call out lies, bullshit and hate and speaking truth. Sometimes that means getting in the mud, and I'm fine getting dirty.

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! 

Republicans Have Made Their Choice, Their Choice is Stupid!

 

Yes, that's Marjorie Taylor Greene on the campaign trail, she brought that cardboard cutout of Trump up to the podium, and then caressed it's crotch. That's the "Family Values" party gang! 

Yesterday the House Democrats stripped her of her Committee seats, only 11 Republicans voted with the Democrats. The night before Republicans said she denounced her past statements and apologized, to them. But when given the chance to speak on the floor yesterday, she apologized to no one. She said her past statements were in the past and were not said while she was a member of Congress. Pretty weak defense if you ask me. Especially since I watched a video of hers from after the election, where she states, "there will be no peaceful transition of power like Joe Biden wants," adding that Trump one, because of all the elected officials who have carried Trump's big lie, she has done the most heavy lifting. (I will not be posting any of her video clips. If you haven't seen them you can find them if you want, but I'm not giving her pageviews.)

On the floor she said "School shootings are real," but she didn't say Sandy Hook or Parkland were real. Those are the two she in the past specifically called fake and "false flag operations." She said that "9-11 happened." Well thanks for the BREAKING NEWS you cunt! But her QANON, 9-11 argument was never that 9-11 didn't happen. She often said how "no plane hit the Pentagon," and that it was all a secret inside job, planned by Obama. She didn't denounce anything, take anything back, or apologize for anything. Like Trump, she spoke in code, did the dance to make the Republican establishment feel better while still signaling to her lunatic base that she's all in with Q. 

She then turned all the blame on the media. Yes, it's the medias fault that they showed the world your ignorant social media posts, and your videos that you live streamed and posted on websites. Listen you stupid twat, I just wrote that you're a stupid twat, but it really didn't happen until CNN tells people I said you are a stupid twat...RIGHT!?!

She did not deny, apologize or even acknowledge her support of the the comment that the best way to get rid of Nancy Pelosi is with "a bullet to the head."

Her talk of the Secret Rothschilds space laser being used to start California wildfires was never brought up. Her repeated Anti-Semitic, Homophobic, Transphobic, Islamophobic, Racist, hate speech was not addressed. Remember folks, this bitch in 2019 went to the Capitol with a Christian Bible and wanted to try to force Muslim members of Congress to swear their oath on it, because she was pissed that they swore their oath on the Quran. Yes, she was filming this stunt, as she did with all her stunts...And she was rambling on about how they went against The Constitution by using the Quran. See, this stupid bitch has never read The Constitution, but some one told her it says freedom of speech and you can own guns, and that's all she knows about it. The fact is, the document says nothing about what their oaths of office need to be sworn in on. If you want to swear in on People Magazine, you can. 

So, here's a little lesson for Maj. 

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."

That means, it forbids Congress from promoting one religion over others, as well as restricting an individual's religious practices. So yes Maj, you can say your ignorant shit, but it just proves you're bigot and a fucking idiot.

Considering only 11 Republicans voted with the Democrats, it's clear, there are a lot of bigots, QANON supporters, and/or fucking idiots now in the in the House GOP. 

This next little section isn't about her crazy shit she says or believes. It's just about the type of piece of shit she is. All these QANON people think she's one of them, blue collar, regular American. Nope, like Trump, she's a grifter and hasn't earned a fucking thing in her life. "Her" construction company, she was given, by her father. She applied for and received a PPP loan, but she wants you all to ignore that, especially since she was vocally opposed to any COVID Stimulus or relief package. Oh, and after getting that PPP loan, she donated $450,000 to her CAMPAIGN. 

 

She took to twitter to when it was announced that the Democrats were going to vote to remove her from her seats, bragging that it was helping her fundraising. Then after her not-apology floor speech where she asked for forgiveness, "we all make mistakes" and said how lies have to stop, she sent out a fundraising email/social media blast full of lies about Ilham Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib. 

She is using every page of the Trump playbook and Republicans seem to be just as chicken-shit, afraid of her ignorant ass, as they have been of his ignorant ass.

I'm going to post Steny Hoyer's closing remarks from the 'debate to remove this gash from her committees. It's 17 minutes long, but you should watch it all.  The man spit fire & truth and called for Republicans to decency. They are the party that has often tried to claim that the are the moral example. Clearly, by their vote, they aren't.  

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 

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.
