Shocked! Shocked! And Other Seemingly Random Observations

Shocked! Shocked to find out that Fox "News" talking heads lied to their viewers! 

That they knew they were lying and still did it!

That they repeatedly said one thing in private and the complete opposite on air!

That they did all of this to keep their ratings up, for fear that the MAGAts would abandon them if they didn't! 

That Rupert Murdoch did nothing to stop the lies.

Shocked!!!

I mean, who can we trust anymore? 

In the interest of Truth, Justice and the American Way, the Freedom Caucus should change its name to the Treason Caucus.

 

If Marjorie "Howler Monkey" Greene wants out, if a national "divorce" truly is "inevitable", I say a good first step would be for her to resign from the Congress. Not to worry; any district that would elect and then re-elect something like her, would no doubt send someone equally bad as her replacement.

And Marge would quickly end up at Fox, or Newsmax, or OAN, where she would be welcomed with open arms by all the other feces flingers, and quickly make up all that lost revenue she moaned about suffering while serving in the House.

So, a win-win?

 

In assessing why Republicans do all the awful things they do, don't get lost in the weeds. Just apply Occam's razor: the simplest solution is preferable to more complex ones. So, it's either they've been bought with Russian/Corporate money, or they've been blackmailed with Russian Mob Compromat. Those are the simplest answers. And those are the correct answers.

 

 Kevin Durant hurting himself in a non-contact pre-game layup drill is the most Phoenix Suns' thing I can imagine. And I've been watching this circus since 1968.

Credit Where Credit Is Due

Without Donald J. Trump we never would have known just how many racists, traitors, and out right imbeciles our great nation contained.

Now we know that there are millions, and millions, and MILLIONS, of them.

Without Donald J. Trump we never would have discovered that there is no bottom to how low the Republican Party is willing to go. Before Trump, the Insane Clown Posse was just a band's name. Now it's the name of an entire political party.

Without Donald J. Trump the true moral depravity, soul less greed, and general nihilism of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch would have just been a rumor, and Ingraham, Carlson and Hannity would have just been annoying idiots, running their mouths about everything to incite the rubes and enrich the Murdochs. Now, thanks to Donnie Boy, we know them to be nothing more or less than an ongoing threat to Democracy.

Without Donald J. Trump the number of Americans, AMERICANS, willing to sell our country out to Vladimir Putin would have remained unknown. Flynn, Stone, Manafort, Bannon, Ginni Thomas and their ilk are all traitors, and should, at the very least, spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison--along with all those Republicans awash in Russian money. (Although it seems to me that a firing squad would be a more efficient and effective deterrent.)

So, when anybody tries to tell you that Trump never accomplished anything positive for this country, just remind them of the above items.

My White Replacement Theory

Here is a partial list of some "whites" that should be "replaced" ASAP.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump's 3 oldest children and their spouses

Rupert Murdoch

Tucker Carlson

Sean Hannity

Laura Ingraham

Mark Levin

Every Republican Senator and Congressperson (I realize that a couple of these are people of color--but being in the Republican Party means they have willingly forfeited any claims they might have to being black or brown and are no doubt considered honorary whites by their fellow Republicans, so...)

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema

Everybody who whines about Critical Race Theory without any understanding of what it is

Every hillbilly with a soft spot for the Stars and Bars

Every gun nut

Every Libertarian billionaire

Every anti-vaxxer

Every televangelist

All of these people could be very easily replaced by either a wad of dryer lint or a medium size pile of horse shit.

No one who matters would miss them and the country would immediately be so much better off.
