Day 860 – Where are we?

We’re All Going to Die

Saturday, May 27, 2023

It’s been another of those weeks. Maybe, it’s been a month. Another set of damning stuff done by the ex-President or his close associates, or the far right, or the Republicans in Congress, or those who want to hold higher office and what happens? We can only hope the wheels of justice still turn. That’s all we’ve got. The problem for us there is The Supreme Court is now in the hands of radical bought and paid for “justices.” That didn’t start with the orange one. It started with Papa Bush, continued with W, and then DJT.

But we now have the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for President espousing forgiveness for the people who committed sedition. A man who went to Yale has been convicted for sedition and sentenced to eighteen years in prison. A light sentence indeed. We have at least two senators who went to Yale: Cotton and Hawley, who both espouse dangerous views about a range of topics. Hawley is famous for raising his fist in support of the insurrectionists, and Cotton for being an ass.

Meanwhile, the Republicans in Congress are doing whatever they can do to gum up the works. Ask yourself this, “What have the Republicans in Congress done to help the country? To help you? To help your children? To help anybody?”

They are working hard to figure out a way to deny help to the students straddled with loan debt. A situation their Republican colleagues before them created. Remember when you could work hard at a minimum wage job, go to college, and graduate with a degree debt free? Yeah, those days are gone – for now.

Republican legislators are busy in Congress and state capitals trying to make life for women as difficult as possible. They are busy mucking around in people’s medicine closets, their doctor’s offices, schools, and libraries. Who thinks any of that is a good idea?

When they aren’t doing that they are busy redrawing voting districts to their advantage and passing laws that target people who don’t vote for them. Take Texas, in the 1990s it was the 14th easiest state to get access to vote; now it’s number 50. That’s intentional. There’s no mistake. Or how about Wisconsin? It’s basically a 50-50 Democrat/Republican state by voter rolls, but the way the Republicans have gerrymandered it, the house is overwhelmingly Republican.

Now we have a Supreme court judge who is bought and paid for by a guy who collects Nazi paraphernalia.

The U.S.house of Representatives is full of election deniers, white supremacists, and people who think letting the government default would be a good idea. They are for demolishing our government. Put them in the same bucket as those who want to bring on the destruction of the world so Jesus will come and raise them up. 

It doesn’t end there. There are Republican senators who want to demolish Social Security, and take away benefits for the poor. What happened to our humanity?

Health care? Remember what John Boehner said about Republicans and health care? In all his years in the House he never saw a health care bill from them, and he was the House for twenty four years and served as Speaker of the House!

Meanwhile, we hear more and more stuff about the various investigations into the former President. We hear stuff. People pontificate. He gets charged. He gets indicted. And his life goes on. What the hell? He’s now sponsoring golf events with the people who butchered a U.S. citizen. His son-in-law was given two billion by them. And some are worried about Biden’s son’s laptop? Excuse me, who had their son-in-law and daughter in their administration supposedly running things? I say supposedly because if you remember the transition, there was none, because Jared and Ivanka and the rest of the staff were so incompetent that they had nothing to transition. Remember Covid? Remember how Donald liked to hold press conferences about that? How they mucked up the reporting by the various health agencies? And when the Biden staff finally got in there they found that there was no roll-out plan? Biden and his team ended the crisis of Covid. Don’t forget that. (We are now down to one person dying from Covid every four minutes. Too bad we can’t muzzle the vaccine deniers and get everyone vaccinated.) Hey, remember when people accepted science and believed in doctors? It wasn’t that long ago. Remember when newspapers and TV news programs reported real stuff?

it wasn’t that long ago. Can we get that back? Is it too late?

I don’t know. It doesn’t look good. We are in hell and as Churchill said when you are in hell, keep walking.

    We are definitely in Hell. No other way to put it. I can’t run much anymore so I do a whole lot of walking. I’m on day 1121 of doing at least a mile every day. It helps. Not much, but some.
    On a lighter note, I saw Lee Sedgwick last weekend at the Grand Haven Kite Festival. He’s got 2 artificial knees now and with Sam’s new hip, I said they should call themselves After Market Parts when they fly pairs. Lee says Hi.

    You
    Said it in a nutshell. I still cannot figure out why the Democrats weren’t on it even during W’s reign. The one that worries me the most is the Supreme Court. Thomas should have been impeached the minute it came out. I hope some action is taken against these crooks so I can rest in peace.

    It’s all just damn scarry. Maybe just move to Canada. I’m close enough the border.
