Atticus's JournalLet me just say to the likes of Joni Ernst and Scott Walker and their posse of enablers: yeah, it
is a good thing that you are finally criticizing Trump's hateful nonsense with terms like "outrageous", BUT----
that does not begin to balance against the years you have spent encouraging his excesses and vulgarities, grovelling before him in hope of getting a pat on the head and almost literally kissing his ass.
You likely will not live long enough to erase your complicity with the Trump coup attempt from America's memory.
These old lyrics just seem SO appropriate for the Trumpians these days:
"The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up THE PIPER MUST BE PAID" (emphasis mine)
---from "The Party's Over", written by Gladys Harris and made a classic by Billie May's and Nat King Cole.
I'm really disappointed in those who call Trump a "lame duck".
I thought most folks could spell better than that.
Just dropped a note to the Michigan Chamber of Commerce to let them know ANY
influence that Trump is permitted to exert on their vote total will COST THEM MONEY!
No fishing off their boats, camping in their beautiful parks or spending a dime in their state.
The Michigan Chamber has contact info on their site.
The myth of Trump as a stereotypical "manly man" is a textbook example of cognitive dissonance.
He has never developed callouses or, for that matter, gotten his hands dirty.
He, like all cowards, has never had the "grit" to directly confront an adversary. He fires people with tweets, not face to face. He hires attorneys to punish those who oppose or anger him and he has the ignoramus thugs at his rallies punch protestors who challenge his hateful spew.
He is so vain about his appearance that he wears lifts in his shoes, dyes what hair he has left roughly the same color as the orange makeup he apparently applies with a ping pong paddle and, he doesn't comb his hair---he has it styled.
He's never pumped gas, changed an oil filter, split firewood or shoveled snow.
And, how to say this---he is just about the "prissiest" male I've ever seen have his face photoshopped onto Stallone's younger body. (Have you ever noticed how he never fully extends his pointing finger when he waves it in the air? His other three fingers are never closed onto his palm and this makes his tiny fingers look even more stunted.)
He is afraid of bugs, doesn't like dogs and has the self-control of a spoiled two year old.
THIS is what all you pick-'em-up truck drivin', gun-totin', beer drinkin', crotch scratchin', ass grabbin' macho men consider "manly"?
Most of us consider such people shallow and superficial whether they happen to have a penis or not.
Who practices law and has an IQ of 150?
The team of Giuliani, Toensing and diGenova.
I am so old---
---i actually remember when "Do anything you need to do, illegal or immoral included, to produce a Republican victory" was considered "the quiet part".
I guess that was before they were hit by the "Trump ray" and their sense of shame totally evaporated.
As a "progressive"---actually, I prefer "liberal"---, may I speak to my fellow progressives?
GET OVER YOURSELF!
We did NOT "elect" Joe Biden and Kamala Harris; we HELPED elect them!
That means we have a place at the table and we have a right to expect SOME of "our" positions to be adopted.
Demand that the Biden/Harris team adopt the "most progressive" agenda ever is so embarrassingly naive as to be downright childish.
Suck it up and let's support OUR people.
'sall I got.
This may be the wrong time to bring this up, but I'm not sure when the time would be "right", so---
We MUST deal as harshly as possible with Trump as soon as Joe Biden is inaugurated.
Criminal charges for the offenses we know about should be filed and investigations into the offenses we all suspect were committed should be pursued. This should begin as soon as DOJ is de-loused. There should be information sharing and full cooperation with any state pursuing investigation and prosecution of Trump and his kin.
Civil suits should be commenced to seek restitution for the grifting of our tax money by Trump and his "interests". We should make every effort to bankrupt him and his corporations.
The IRS should conduct REAL audits of Trump's tax returns for the last decade.
In short, Trump should die a pauper in prison.
On a related issue, we must have a federal statute defining "domestic terrorism" and making it a felony with major prison time. This will be used to deal with the "militias" who throw a hissy fit when we do the above.
Failure to prosecute, convict and imprison the traitorous monster who has done his best to destroy us will do three things: it will be seen as weakness, it will encourage future Trumps and---it may just amount to an admission that the American experiment in democracy has failed.
Is there anything short of pornography or solicitation to commit murder that is
"off limits" as far as You Tube is concerned. I check it mostly to find interesting items to send to my grandkids, but the amateurish right wing slander and incitements to the militia fans are getting to be too much to wade through.
