Man oh man. There is so much to get to and yet none of it is new, in the sense of “we’ve seen this before.”
I got a “Your memories on Facebook” announcement yesterday. It was my calling Rand Paul and his father Ron idiots. I used the same language I did yesterday. However, the past call-out was about economics. Now it’s about Rand’s lack of understanding, or caring, or caring to understand about Dr. Fauci and Fauci’s role in trying to save the country and the world from infectious disease. Last time I was referencing Nobel winning economist Paul Krugman who said of Rand and Ron and “the Austrian School of Economics” that whenever he, Krugman, tried to pin them down as to what were they actually talking about he got this “you don’t understand” argument, coupled with some nonsense about “deep state” or some such similar. (Same argument used by Mike Lindell, see below.)
It’s kind of like when Jordan Klepper formerly of The Daily Show interviewed Mike Lindell at a rally. Mike had all the evidence! If only people like Klepper would look at it! Klepper fed back to Lindell his same lines and Lindell went off in a huff of “You don’t get it.”
Damn straight. There’s nothing to get.
Let’s review the Pauls’ (plural) record. Ron and Rand have shown they are idiots on economics. Rand, it was pointed out to me by someone who knows a little sumptin’ about the medical community and how it operates, formed his own board to certify himself as an ophthalmologist because he probably couldn’t have passed the real board certification. ( Let me ask you, “Would you want that guy anywhere near your eyes with a laser?” ) Now Rand has managed to show he knows little about infectious diseases, or at least doesn’t care to display it in public. But now, after being slapped down by Fauci, he wants the DOJ to investigate Fauci! OMG! Let me think this out. I’m not a lawyer or a prosecuting attorney, but I kinda think you have to have a case, ie a reason, to bring charges. The fact that Rand doesn’t like being given a medical depantsing in public is not grounds for charges. If anything, Paul should be investigated for fraud: medical, moral, economic, political – fraud. But most of those things aren’t against the law.
Moving on. Jim Jordan has been refused by Speaker Pelosi admission onto the committee investigating Jan 6th. Kevin McCarthy has pulled all the nominees. Aw. Let’s see, Jordan seems to have no understanding of how elections work. He thinks because the guy he wanted to win got more votes than last time he ran he should win. That’s not how it works. The person with the most votes should win, but that’s not how it works either. The person with the most Electoral College votes wins, and that person was not Jordan’s guy.
This bring me to vampires. The fellow who did Flight of the Concords, Germaine, did another show called, “What We Do in the Shadows.” It was a parody on vampires. In it there were these enablers of the vampires called “Familiars.” They were regular people but could run around in day light doing things for the vampires. That’s what Jordan is – a Familiar. Except, he’s a Familiar for a psychopath named Donald Trump.
This brings me to the cases against Satan. Let’s review:
He and his company are being investigated for fraud in New York. This is not a complex case legally. This is referred to “as simple fraud” by any prosecutor who has looked at it. The case is only complex because there is so much of it, but the basics are straight forward. If you keep two sets of books you are committing fraud.
Donnie is being investigated in Georgia for election fraud. If you call up local politicians and tell them to find votes, change the counts, and stuff like that – it is fraud.
Now there is an investigation into January 6th and what happened. If you incite a mob to storm the Capitol you are committing (treason?), (a violent overthrow of the Republic?) something like that.
Also, it is coming out that Donnie had his hand in the cookie jar, or his associates did. Hum. Well, so far the recent count is three. Three lines of corruption in terms of trying to influence our Foreign Policy. There’s the Tom what’s his name, the manager of the inauguration who was working as a foreign agent. There’s Mike Flynn working as a foreign agent. There was at least one or is it two folks trying to work as foreign agents for the Russians. That doesn’t count what ever in the “F” Jared was doing with MBS and his trying to set up a back channel to Russia. Let’s not forget that while Donnie was campaigning he was trying to build a tower in Moscow, which he denied the whole time he was doing it.
In an interesting about face, or semi-turn, some on the right have said, “Get Vaccinated.” Or at least, “talk to you doctor about it.” M-T-Greene was asked if she was vaccinated and she said it was a violation of her Hippa rights to reveal that information. No, No, it’s not. You can reveal it; others can’t. Sean H. – same for you.
So why are the right wing Fox folks starting to say this? Maybe, reality is getting harder and harder to deny? I don’t know. Maybe.
Maybe, their base is dying because they aren’t vaccinated.
As one doctor being interviewed last night said – even though it was late it was welcome. “Welcome to reality,” were his words.
Fortunately, for you, I have been able to get a hold of a Right Wing Talking Points Confabulator that’s been Trumpized and I’m going to run some of the above through it to see what we get.
Input: Tom Barrack 2017 Inaugural Fund for the President, arrested. Barrack holds Lebanese citizenship. He was paid $1.5B by U.A.E. to influence the president and the U.S. foreign policy.
Output: Lebanon! That’s the Middle East! Lot of bad people over there. Lot of bad people. Can’t trust them. Taliban. Antifa. Socialism. Bad. Barrack bad. Democrats. Pelosi. Schumer. Bad.
Okay. To review.
Rand Paul has proven his stupidity once again, but on a new front.
A Trump associate is in trouble.
Oh, and don’t forget:
We have a resurgence of Covid among the stupid. I mean the unvaccinated, I mean the right wing Republican base. Listen r.w.R.b. you realize all your leaders have gotten jabbed? They aren’t as stupid as you. They know – deep down – that science works. This reminds me of the book “Outside the Palace of the Inflatable Pig,” which many of you may not have read but it is a history of Paraguay. Perhaps, the most screwed up country in the world. In the book a doctor talked about the Indians in that country and cancer. Many of those living in the desert environment got cancer. They went to the witch doctor who prescribed various herbs, incantations, and what-not. “But where did the witch doctors go when they got cancer?” The doctor asked. “They came here.” They aren’t stupid.
Yeah. Wave the flag, call out the Dems, puff out your chest and declare you are a patriot. Freedom! “No vaccinator better come around my door! I got a gun.” Right on.
You are being played for suckers. Soon to be infected dead suckers. And if your mother gets sick and you get sick then you are a mother sucker infected sucker? Something like that.
I better stop.
PS What are you looking at? It’s me and my new friend. Don’t worry. He doesn’t bite.

I am appalled at the stupidity of some of the people in the Republican Party. Rand Paul and Jim Jordan are the most blatant. I am so glad Dr. Fauci let that pea brain have it.
You didn’t mention McCarthy whose silly petty choice of people to be on a panel to discover what really happened Jan 6, 2021. Even tho we all saw in living color, a band of idiots attack our Capitol, McCarthy chooses Jim Jordan to investigate how it happened. He knew how it happened as did McCarthy. Remember all those meetings Trump had without inviting any Dems to? Very suspect to me. I cannot believe the hubris these liars exhibit. They must have taken an oath to support the Republican Party. I
Am wondering if the oath was taken under the pain of death. I just wish the Democrats would take the gloves off. Just like Dr. Fauci did.
Dr. Fauci had to have security guards, so maybe the Dems are too scared or too nice.
