Since the 2016 Election I have had a hard time discussing politics. I haven’t posted since before that time and I’m unlikely to post again before the next election cycle begins. So, to be continued…
In the mean time, please enjoy my favorite meme this week! 🙂
Kitten Academy!!!
I’ve been wondering this myself…glad I’m not alone.
I saw this in the comments section of an article. I think it is a pretty good assessment.
Republican’s feelings towards Donald Trump can be summed up in this tale:
When I was in college we had friend who had an extremely attractive mom. Of course, being a bunch of male college age pigs we subjected our friend to comments about what we’d like to do with his mother in bed.
One day she came to visit him and, with pretty much all of us in the room, he casually told her about how we were always commenting how we’d like to have sex with her.
Needless to say we were all horrified and left with our mouths agape as we clumsily tried to deny such things in a way that clearly showed we were lying.
We were pretty pissed at out buddy afterwards (fortunately the mom had a sense of humor about it) but why were we upset? It wasn’t because he has said anything that was untrue. It was because he had violated the unwritten rule that said you’re not supposed to SHARE these things with others……..especially the person that it’s directed at.
When Republicans get all upset and embarrassed at Trump when he talks about his views on women, minorities, immigration, etc. It’s not because they’re upset that he’s saying things that are untrue, but he’s violating the unwritten rule within the Republican Party that you’re never supposed to share these things openly.
They have no problem BEING a bunch of heartless hate filled bigots and racists………They just don’t want their own to ever tell the outside world “Yep, that’s who we are” because then they’re put in a position where they have to run around in a panic sputtering “No….that’s not true, real conservatives aren’t like that……we believe in liberty and justice for all. God bless America” and it derails their agenda they’ve been carrying out for decades to pretty much put the screws to all these various groups.
Saw a description of D. Trump in some article comments today. The person called him a “tangerine-tinted monkey-paw-wish created nightmare” and it made me laugh. Because it’s true.
Still as relevant today as it was 8 years ago. I wish we could have elected him president-for-life or at least he could stay in another term (or two).
The Senate Is Very Unlikely To Confirm A Scalia Replacement This Year …Oh, Jesus Fucking Christ!
Again the Senate Republicans have vowed to block every single nomination our president might make just because they hate him. What the fuck is wrong with these people? They said that at the start of his presidency and they are still saying it at the end.
“The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement.
In my opinion, anyone who makes an obstructionist vow against Barack Obama while he is our president should be tried and convicted of treason. Found an article published in Newsweek a few years ago that addresses this…Talking Treason: Is Hatred of Obama Trumping Patriotism?
Some comments I’ve seen online regarding Republican obstructionism:
“We did. When we elected Barack Obama president 40 months ago.” (in reference to the McConnell statement)
“The Majority Leader of the Senate and two serving Senators who are currently running for President of the United States of America, all of whom swore an oath on the Bible to protect and defend the Constitution, have publicly advocated the subversion of said Constitution for purely partisan political posturing. Before searching for his nominee for the Supreme Court, President Obama should oversee the construction the gallows needed to hang these traitors.”
“ The vacancy should be filled as soon as possible. That’s the job of the President and Congress. If Congress refuses then they’re just playing the role of the Dead Beat Party and obstructing for the sake of obstructing once again. Do your jobs Republican assholes.“
“He can recess appoint. He can apply pressure to the vulnerable GOP Senators up for re-election. This is a loser issue for Republicans.“
I don’t remember hearing anything even close to this kind of obstructionism when the most stupid president ever was in office before him. And in his case, we probably should have been obstructing some of his craziness.
How is it possible that someone like Donald Trump is even considered to be a potential candidate for POTUS? It was embarrassing enough that we had that idiot GW Bush for 8 fucking years…
I sent this to a friend and his reply email was:
