Atticus's Journal"That's just not true" or "BULLSHIT!"---take your choice.
But, let's not let the ongoing flurry of "alternate facts" go uncorrected.
"The FBI and DOJ, etc., etc. have been WEAPONIZED against all decent Americans!"
"We Republicans have no plans to kill Social Security or Medicare."
"Trump just did what we now know Biden did with Classified documents."
My choice? BULLSHIT!---all of these and many more.
Don't let ANY of these fascist liars get away with their rewriting of reality.
"Weapons of Mass Destruction" or "WMDs"---remember those? The fact that they
did nor exist---and never had---did not stop Republicans from obsessing about the desperate "search" for them and flooding every newscast for months with those terms. Millions of Americans were convinced that only Bush's bold "shock and awe" campaign had saved us from Saddam Hussein's "WMDs".
And, now, Republicans are flooding all forms of the news media with breathless accounts of their committees to investigate the ---wait for it---"weaponization" of the government "against the people". The fact that that hasn't happened does not seem to matter at all.
There is a technical term for this stale Republican enterprise: "fragrant crock of shit".
If you have just caught someone crawling out of one of your house windows with the a bag full
of cash, jewelry and electronic devices and the person loudly states "I am not a burglar!", does that clear him of the crime?
If someone steals your credit card and uses it to buy a diamond pinkie ring, a new riding lawnmower and a "TRUMP 2024" flag and you see your neighbor riding his new mower past the new "TRUMP 2024" flag hanging from his front porch and with a big new sparkler on his pinkie, do you call the police or say "Nah---coincidence!" and fuhgeddaboudit?
When Congressional candidates SAY they intend to cut Social Security and Medicare, get elected and then, in their first official act, vote to accomplish just that, do we believe them when they deny any intent to cut those programs?
Come spring, the Mall should be filled with walkers, wheel chairs and gray hair.
Let's please not allow the MSM to "normalize" this gaggle of fascist fools now attempting to
"govern" the House of Representatives. IF we were truly a "nation of laws, not men", about half of these traitorous wastes of skin would be either in custody or asking "Would you like fries with that?" after being expelled from Congress. Unchecked, they will spend two years trying to accomplish what they failed to get done on 1-6-21.
Hopefully, our 212 ( 213? ) will stay united and be extra creative in finding ways to frustrate and contain these political Morlocks. We need to have their backs.
Aaron Burr would have made a fine Trump advisor.
He once said "the law is whatever is boldly asserted and plausibly maintained.”
Matt Schlapp's "paraphrase" of Trump's famous boast:
"---when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the dick!"
Uh, Matt---is this an example of the "family values" you're always preaching about?
So far, it seems there are many Susan Collins clones in the GOP House. Many expressed their
"serious concern" about the dangerous extremist rules package now being voted on, but not one has had the spine to vote against it.
I should have "REPUBLICANS ARE LIARS!" tattooed on my wrist near my watch so I see the reminder often.
To those still evil or ignorant enough to insist that the last election was "stolen" from Trump,
allow me to rub your nose in this: more than two years after that election, not one tiny bit of evidence of the "rigging" Trump and fools like you keep whining about has ever been produced. NONE! EVER!
Trump is a morbid gangrenous appendage on the body politic and all sane people know that AMPUTATION is required if the body is to survive.
If you STFU now and don't keep doubling down on your ignorant rantings, maybe in a decade or so you will not be scowled at and avoided by those who did not spend the last six years with their heads in their asses.
If you just can't bring yourself to end your Trump-worship, please slither back under the rock you abandoned when you joined his cult. That might protect you from those anxious to "tread on" you.
As we slide into the ninth year since Trump erupted onto the national scene like
a lanced carbuncle, we are facing a critical shortage of----adjectives.
We have used up every disparaging describer in our lexicon in a continuing effort to accurately characterize the putrid execrescence that IS "the former guy".
"Disgusting" may have been thought adequate way back when he slithered down that Golden Escalator with his pole-dancer, but it now seems far too kind.
Where are the "wordologists" who will provide descriptors sufficient to plumb the depths of Trumpitude?
The day will come---
---when I would give much to walk out again on a snowy wintry day;
---when I will realize that "last Christmas" was my last Christmas;
---when I will wish I could tell them I love them "one last time";
---when I will I will look upon my garden plot and the trees I've planted and hope some will think they bettered the earth;
---when I will weigh dreams realized against dreams deferred or abandoned;
---when those judging my life---my success or failure---will ask only: "Was he a good person?"
"Simplify". Savor. Smile. Love.
"Do good work".
