Day 29 – Progress and Resistance

Wednesday February 17, 2021

Deep Breath. Let’s look at where we are, where we’ve come from.

We are now vaccinating 1.6 million people a day. Covid numbers are going down like a ski slope, somewhere between bunny slope and intermediate. We aren’t at a double black diamond slope fall yet.

So now what? Folks are starting to look around at the wreckage left by the last administration and thinking about how to clean it up. 

There are scores of cases that Satan bullied the Justice Department to go in and defend him. This is not what most Justice Departments in our country do. You don’t use the lawyers at Justice to take up personal matters. But now, that’s what Justice has. 

It would be nice to think that we are all working together but we aren’t. Various local Republican parties are trying to inflict pain on those who stood up against Satan and for our Constitution. Georgia is going so far as to try and change their state constitution so that the prosecutor in Fulton County, who is investigating conduct by the former president can not convene a grand jury from her county but must include the whole state. What are they afraid of? That if they don’t get some Good Olde Boys on the jury their glorious leader might go to the pokey that’s what.

And speaking of going to the pokey, how will that work?  Let’s say he gets twenty years and he still has Secret Service protection thanks to Mitch and the gang quitting him of impeachment. How will that work?

Then we get to the high level lying. Mitch said on the Senate floor that Satan was guilty, but he thought – thought – that the Senate didn’t have the authority to convict him. This is a novel and incorrect assumption. One he engineeringed and one would say he obviously knows better, but he doesn’t care about that. This is his best way to retain power. Democracy and the Constitution be damned. 

Ron Johnson said he didn’t think the insurrectionists were armed and that it wasn’t that big a deal. Obviously, Senator Johnson is having selective amnesia. Or was that Ron Portman who was lying? I can’t remember.

Out in the rest of the country local Republican officials are opposed to anything the Democrats are doing. But they do want their Medicare, Social Security, and vaccinations. Just to be clear.

Mike Pence has been pretty quiet of late. He’s been hired to fight socialism and is going to have a podcast. How can he do this work if he’s not talking? Well, who really wants to listen to him anyway?

Joe Biden enjoys a popularity rating of 62%. Something Satan only dreamed of. Perhaps the rating were stolen from Satan, like the election?

Texas, OMG Texas, every county is under a winter storm watch. They are having rolling black outs. Texas worked hard to separate itself from the rest of the electric grid. Why? So a few could make a bunch of money. Now? Now there’s the conspiracy theorists trying to blame Biden. Of course. I mean you wouldn’t want to take responsibility for what you wrought? And you wouldn’t want to have to fix it? No. Let someone else come in and clean up your mess.
