Day 110 – Taking out the Trash, Odds and Ends

Saturday May 8, 2021

In a “Who Could Have Seen That Coming?” a host of situations that I need to review. New tidbits are leaking out like fat and juice from a squished burger on the grill. (Pancake? Pimple?)

There’s this news story that the Justice Department has been ordered to release a “secret” memo that purportedly shows that Bill Barr had decided before seeing the Mueller Report not to charge “then president Trump” ( I put it in quotes to make clear the word “then”, and I love the phrase. )  Justice can appeal but time is running out. Why would they? Okay, they won’t. Why haven’t then done it? I.e. Released it. Answer: They’ve been a little busy (imho:)

So let’s speculate shall we? If Barr had no intention of charging Satan and we have in the Mueller Report ten documented instances of crimes, and if memory serves me right, at least four of them “meet every provision of the crime” ie it checks all the boxes, and if “no one is above the law” then why wouldn’t Justice charge him?

Then there’s Rudy. Seems like he might be disbarred, discredited, broke, and in jail – soon.

Then there’s the Stormy Daniels hush money thing coming to the fore again, or is that one of the ten charges in the Mueller Report? I forget.

A whole bunch of states have passed or are in the process of passing voter suppression (integrity) laws. Will they get away with it? Or will the Senate pass the Voting Rights bill? Or will Justice sue the bejesus out of each state? 

Meanwhile, the very conservative Liz Cheney may be out of her leadership role in the Republican Party for stating the truth. The party is way past that and are looking to Stefanik to replace her. Stefanik who has a record of voting with the Dems more than almost all other Republicans is looking to replace her. Of course the problem is that she has drunk the Satan laden Kool-Aide and no one knows where she really stands, but does it matter? Talk about a world turned upside down and inside out!

The economy got really good marks last week, this week a crappy jobs report. Why? I’ll tell you why. Whatever you think about the speed at which an economy moves you are wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. It typically moves slower, except when it moves faster. Okay? This is a corollary to my, “Anyone who thinks the price of a stock has all the news factored in doesn’t really trade.”

There has been a lot of analysis of the Republican Party and where it is headed. Answer: In the toilet. They have no real leadership. A bunch of whiney petty pols. One super conman. None of them are smart. Not that it matters. And they have decided that the best thing they should do is destroy our democracy. I wish Jeff Bezos would buy them all, put them on a boat, get them drunk, and sink the damn thing. I mean, “How much are we talking here?” To buy them out? Putin got Trump for how much? Ten? Twenty mill? And a bunch of promises, nods, winks, and threats. Oh and some girls pissing on a bed. I’d pay for a tape of Ted being pissed on. All while reciting Green Eggs and Ham.

Where was I?

Several folks mentioned they liked my idea of leper colonies for the unvaccinated, but were silent on the roving gangs of vaccinators screaming, “Show me your papers!” And jabbing people who weren’t quick enough. Couldn’t we get Smith and Wesson to make an AR-15 that shoots vaccine slugs? I can see the news headline now. “In yet another mass vaccination a man armed with a Vac-15 broke into a ’Stop the Steal’ rally and managed to vaccinate 37 people in less than a minute …” 

Mitch McConnell has made it official. He ain’t voting for anything Biden proposes and he says the rest of the Republican Senators won’t either. When pressed on the point later he said it depends on what it is. Oh you are so sly. This proves Lucy with the football is a Republican.
