Friday December 11, 2020 (14 days til Christmas)
Election Day -38
41 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
The other day I read a brief article about the guy who started Overstock. Apparently, he’s a Trump supporter and he was going on about something. Something that was nuts. It made me wonder, “Do these people start out this way or do they develop into it?”
Remember Ross Perot? Yeah, he had a company EDS. Everyone said how successful he and his company was. How before that he had been a top salesman for IBM. How he was an Eagle scout. I had to work with EDS back when I was at AT&T. My impression of that company was that they kept changing the rules, kept doing different things, kept moving the goal posts. I got the impression that was the way Mr. Perot was. It seemed to play out in his bid for the presidency. He started out and seemed sort of normal. Then he dropped out, blamed it on some fellow who was threatening his daughter and her wedding. Then he got back in. Then he dropped out and ended his campaign dancing with his wife. This is not normal behavior.
There seem to be a lot of these sorts of people around. Satan is a personification of this sort of unhinged lunacy. They see conspiracies where maybe there are none, or maybe there is one? Who knows? The thing that scares me is that more and more of these sociopathic type people are running things.
In other news, we are having a 9/11 death toll everyday now. Rudy got the treatment Satan got – very expensive and very scarce. He seems unaware at one level and very aware of that fact at another. He claims he has “celebrity” status. More like “infamous,” but who’s paying attention?
The other day I saw a headline that a factory had mixed up the packaging of an anti-depression drug and an erectile dysfunction drug. Why I wonder couldn’t such a mixup happen to Rudy? I don’t know what the result would be or if we’d even notice.
The Pfizer vaccine got approved by the FDA advisory board and now we are waiting on the CDC to okay it. Moderna is next week.
In a stunning development of “Art of the Deal” proportion it turns out the Trump administration turned down, or didn’t respond, to a proposal to buy a lot of the Pfizer vaccine this summer. Way to go! What did you expect? I mean there will be enough vaccine for Jared, Ivanka, and the rest of that bunch. They got theirs; you get yours. Man, would I like to see it come out that there was a mixup at the factory and they got shot with a mixture of anti-depressant and erectile dysfunction. (“Hey Ivanka, Tits Up!”)
We still don’t have a stimulus bill passed. Mitch wants companies absolved from any responsibility and that seems to be a sticking point. That and the fact that he and Mnuchin want to screw the average person with a pittance.
Meanwhile an eviction crisis is looming. Look for millions of people to be thrown out on the street January 1st. Happy New Year.
To stop this McConnell would have to do something for people. Seeing as he hasn’t done that his whole career I doubt he’ll start now.
The AG of Texas has filed a law suit asking four states to overturn their election results and give their electoral college results to Satan instead of Biden. The case has no merit or legal precedent. Seventeen state AGs have signed on as have 106 Republican lawmakers. To make the case more farcical Ted Cruz was asked by Trump to argue the case in front of the Supreme Court. He said he’d do it. The Texas AG is under Federal criminal investigation for doing the same crooked things he did before. You don’t think he’s angling to get on the pardon band wagon do you? (Kind of like the last flight out of Saigon, I’d say.)
We are in a time of madness where the inmates are not only running the asylum but the whole country. It’s a mashup of Kabuki theater gone awry with a Clockwork Orange / Lord of the Flies thing going on. However, it’s not young boys or youthful ruffians but old morbidly obese men and crazed elderly middle aged women backed by rich mean spirited who gives a f*ck I got mine you get yours interests, who seem at their core to be crazed.
I was going to say we had entered The Twilight Zone but baby we’ve blown right through that.
I see hope at the end of two tunnels. Or is it one tunnel and one hill? Over the hill is a new administration that has sane people on board. A vaccine or vaccines are on the way if we can get the train to come through the tunnel… I hope that we don’t make the mistake of thinking we can go back to “the good old days.”
I, being the mild mannered calm person that I am, think the people in office now should be driven from those offices and should get a “go directly to jail” card. Whatever we do let’s not make the mistake that we can reach across the aisle and expect any sort to deal making because the people over there are lunatics.
Oh yeah, how’d you like the video of the police breaking down the doors of the empty houses that had squatters in them? Or the woman’s house that was reporting the real numbers of cases of Covid in Florida?
“I need a pain killer, and I need it right away!” Blue Cheer.
Actually, I don’t need a pain killer. I’m fine. Really. I’m fine.
PS Ready to fight the good fight. My sword and my shield protect me.

The warrior. Standing in his element.
Have you seen the stories that the failure of the stimulus care package is all Nancy Pelosi’s fault because she has attached something, for people who don’t need it. All I heard her say is that she is willing to sign it because Biden will be in January 20,2021 and will pass another one easily.
Mitch on the other hand is holding out for his quid pro quo. I am aghast at the lies that old coot can come up with. I still don’t understand Georgians who vote against themselves. Mitch supposedly only had an 18% approval rating.
