Well…if you’ve been here before…okay, quite a bit before, you could have read my earlier posts on the fetishistic worship that this country has been giving police and military since the 9/11 attacks…all of this thank you for your service bullshit and elevating just normal Americans into the superheroes that they now believe they are is part of the cause of the contempt both the military and police show for ordinary citizens who are expressing their rights under the constitution. The death of George Floyd and the subsequent huge protests against police brutality and the daily pictures of the military brought in to attack American citizens has finally started inject some reality into how we all look at these folks and is knocking them off their pedestals…pedestals in the eyes of whites anyway…black and brown people in this country always knew what the reality was…that most of the police forces in this country are infested with white supremacists who live to try to take this country back to Jim Crow and put everyone who is not white in “their place” with violence and racial profiling. All of this hero worship only serves to separate both the police and military from the society they take an oath to protect…and immediately makes the people an enemy that needs to be controlled and not their bosses who deserve respect and protection….maybe these protests will finally throw the pedestals in the ocean and then we can go about reforming how policing is done in this country…starting with confiscating every piece of military hardware police have been given over the past 30 years…and removing the star wars storm trooper outfits that the police seem to just love…no more vests, helmets, and gloves that they use to intimidate everyone and every police wears a name tag and camera that is on at all times and it is a firing offense if it is turned off…and no more immunity from the laws of this country like the Minnesota cops that went on a rampage and slashed the tires of hundreds of cars just to show who is “boss” in Minneapolis…and if the cops strike to again show they are above the law, then we dissolve the departments and start from scratch with modern policing that focuses on helping people instead of killing them…no more hero worship..after all, they are not heroes and they have been showing that since before the protests began…

This makes me smile…
Well…damn, it’s been another busy day with running since about 7 but I did want to make a short comment on the happenings going on with the idiot boy and his collapsing in the polls…cripes, I would love to be inside the WH when the moron in chief is fed this new information…or they may not even tell him since his campaign manager made up some fake poll numbers when trump blew up about the real ones last week…okay, buried the lede there, huh? Okay, the new polls put Biden up on trump by 54% to 41% nationally and idiot boy’s approvals at the lowest of his *presidency at 38%….and in every swing state that trump stole, he is behind by at least 8 points and by 12 here in Michigan….and those polls were done before trump’s attack on peaceful protesters and his turning the WH into a armed camp with new fencing that keeps people blocks away….and just the past couple of days we have many, many repubs turning their backs on idiot boy and saying they won’t support or vote for him…gee, being a huge asshole who is shredding the constitution is not a good case for re-election I guess….now, the last thing I want our side to do is get complacent and give the asshole in chief a chance to win…but I think we can take one day to enjoy the fact that we’re not behind and it’s probable now that we can take back the senate, too….but, just one day…then we need to make sure we all vote and get rid of the tumor in the WH….
The irony is just delicious…
Well…have been taking it easy a little today but I did want to comment on what I see as just a frickin delicious irony…just saw pictures of the crowds protesting in DC a few minutes ago and the thought struck me…they are larger than the idiot trump’s inaugural crowds by a huge margin! Okay Lincoln project, where’s the ad stabbing at idiot boy for this? You know how much everything about him and he gets the biggest crowds etc…this one could be a two fer…they could jab him about the crowd size and then throw in that he lies about damn near everything with photos and everything…this would really piss off the moron in chief and would be in addition to the defection of lots of repubs of the past few days who said they wouldn’t support or vote for idiot boy….he just has to be stewing over the trashing he has been getting by these same repubs and just a little nudge should be all it takes to push him even farther over the edge…oh, and one more great ad would be directed at the enablers of the idiot and should say that trump can’t pardon everyone before he leaves office so the ones who are helping him break the law and trash the constitution are going to pay for their criminality…I’m talking to you Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo….and the rest of you…it’s going to get real in 5 months so I guess maybe you should stop criming? Nope, they are too stupid to understand that when we take back the government, the rule of law is going to apply again…just like it should have for the past 4 years….
The whole damn barrel is rotten…
Well…I am getting so damn sick and tired of the excuses being made for bad cops across this country and their daily abuses of the people they are sworn to protect and serve…and the culture of lying and coverup that permeates police departments everywhere. Just yesterday a couple of cops in Buffalo pushed a 75 year old to the ground where he hit his head and was bleeding out of his ear immediately…but it just gets worse from there…if you look at the video shot by a local tv station, you’ll see one officer bend down to help the injured man but he was then yanked back up by what I’ll assume is a supervisor and told to ignore him…which the whole bunch of maybe 30 cops did and the injured man laid there bleeding until the national guard came to his aid a few minutes later. Then a perfectly predictable thing happened….the cops lied about the incident in their reports…lying that the injured man just “stumbled and fell” all by himself…and these “bad apples” are so damn dumb that they didn’t even see that they were being filmed….but, even worse, when these two thugs were suspended, 57 cops resigned from the voluntary rapid response team in support of the thuggery and lying the two officers did…and just today when the two officers were arraigned on assault charges, 70 of their fellow officers stood outside of the court and clapped and cheered for the thug officers who injured the 75 year old. Now by my count, that is at least 120 other officers who think that beating up 75 year olds and lying about it is perfectly fine behavior for the police in Buffalo…look, as we’re seeing across the country there aren’t just a few ‘bad apples”…the whole damn barrel is rotten and every damn one of them needs to be fired…there is no saving the rotten barrel and the rotten officers that live in it…they all need to go…
Bill Barr’s brownshirts…
Well…you know we’ve all been wondering when the fascist Bill Barr would use his position as AG to further corrupt the justice department but we didn’t think it would be forming his very own brownshirt army that only reports to him. You remember the brownshirts don’t you? They were Hitler’s personal army that he would sic on his enemies and many times the enemies would end up in jail, dead, or disappeared….and now Barr has his own version of the brownshirts that he has deployed around DC to “control the riots” that are only riots to him…everyone else sees that the protests have been peaceful until the police and Barr’s private army attacks the protesters…just like they did when the idiot trump just had to have his photo op of walking to a church that didn’t want him there. Never in the history of this country has an AG had his own private army that wear no insignias, who won’t identify themselves to the press or the public…cripes, the AG doesn’t even have the authority to command the police or any other group like the national guard that he has also usurped command from the normal chain of command. Now…the question I have to ask is “where is Nancy Pelosi in all of this?” It is her job to be a check on the executive branch and she can defund Barr’s private army today so why hasn’t she? this needs to be done now and Barr needs to be impeached for this abuse of power…get on it Nancy…the country may not last until trump is gone…
The #bunkerbitch was “inspecting”
Well…with “bunkergate” in full swing, okay, I’m trying to get bunkergate to trend with not much luck yet, the idiot in chief had to go on his propaganda network; fox news to whine and cry that he wasn’t hiding in the bunker but had gone down there to “inspect” it to make sure he knew his way around in case of a terrorist attack…okay…yeah…I’m laughing my ass off at that one…since when did trump actually do any work? And he damn sure wasn’t doing any “inspection” when he fled to the bunker to escape the dangerous shouts of people protesting outside…you know, those 50 caliber shouts that can kill from 300 yards away? This moron is falling apart in front of our eyes and when asked about all of the crazy assed shit trump has done in just the past week, every damn repub senator, who by the way left him in office after he was impeached..oh, remember that…he is still the impeached *president…I’d almost forgotten…back to the running senators…every damn one of them have run away when asked about trump gassing protesters to get his photo op….not one of them would answer even when they won’t shut the hell up about everything else….so, let’s try to get #bunkergate trending…maybe on twitter…it would go really well with #bunkerbitch….and guess who it will piss off?
Attacking Americans for a photo op…
Well…after the chicken in chief hid in his bunker over the weekend because the big tough guy couldn’t take people yelling at him from outside the fence of the WH with it’s hundreds of armed guards…and then shut the light off both inside an outside the WH for some reason…did he think it was Halloween and he wasn’t going to hand out candy so he turned out the lights? The idiot was concerned that being a chicken made him look weak…and damn, everything he does makes him look weak so what changed? Moron boy then had to prove he’s tough by ordering the army to attack peaceful protestors outside the WH with tear gas and helicopters to get rid of them so he could walk to a nearby church for a photo op that miraculously turned into a campaign ad about an hour later…and, by the way, the soldiers who were breaking their oaths and the commanders who ordered the attacks were breaking the law by following an illegal order…trump does not have the authority to order the armed forces to attack Americans on our home soil…and these thugs even gassed the priests at the church to keep them out of the way so trump could get his photo…and what was the response of the “law and order” repubs to this lawbreaking? Hell…I can hear the crickets from here…not a damn one of them even care anymore that trump is breaking the law…they gave him a pass on impeachment and they are giving him another one today…hey army commanders, when Biden is elected this desecration of your oath is not reset, the crimes you are committing can be prosecuted under the UCMJ in January 2021….do you really want to throw your careers away for the idiot trump…Milley, you already have…you are going to end up in the brig next year and no “retirement” will protect you…and the same goes for Barr…criminals all…
Tough guy hiding in a bunker…
Well…the idiot trump sure TALKS tough but when shit gets real…where is he? Hiding in a bunker at the WH meant for nuclear attacks or terrorist attacks…but what does he use if for? To not hear the crowds chanting outside and having a minor skirmish with the police….while he tweets that the Secret Service put the protesters down fast and that he has the mostest, bestest, secret weapons in the WH that can be used on American citizens who are exercising their constitutional rights. Hey right wing tough guys…here is your tough guy leader hiding like the chicken he is….and going farther and farther off the rails as he sits on his ass watching fox news and eating fast food while he does nothing to deal with either the protests or the coronavirus…which aides said he is “done caring about”….as I said the other day, trump has the attention span of a gnat and he is bored with the “wrong” kind of deaths that he can’t use to make himself look better. Any other *president would have talked to the country about both the 103,000 dead from the virus and to try to calm the country in the face of violent protest…but trump’s aides are keeping him from doing it since they know he doesn’t give a damn about anything but himself and is past the point of even being able to fake that he cares….hey trump voters and the rest of you repubs…this is what you did to this country…happy now?
I just can’t with trump today….
Well…how is everyone feeling today? When you are seeing a psychotic moron destroying our country in front of your eyes, what feelings or words can there be? I know I’m feeling despair…that there is a possibility that this asshole could be re-elected even with being responsible for the deaths of at least 60,000 Americans who didn’t have to die….just because he is the laziest person on Earth and just couldn’t be bothered to do anything…and Americans continue to die but he has lost interest in that…and has just stopped doing anything to help….and his shiny new thing is to threaten to murder more Americans by sending the Army to Minnesota to shoot the protestors of another damn killing of a black person by the police…and he just loves the fact that he can play the tough guy and threaten Americans…it gives him the jollies to contemplate…okay…not contemplate…he doesn’t have the depth to contemplate anything…let’s make that fantasize about killing more people since the coronavirus deaths aren’t violent enough for him…they are boring him….hey, idiot boy…if you are so bored you won’t do your job, just frickin quit and go back to your gaudy golf courses where you can cheat and it only hurts the morons that still play with you…god, I’m so tired….I need a drink but cocktail time is over three hours away….
Trumpism is dying…and not a damn day too soon…
Well…you know what we are going to see for the next 6 months? the dying throes of tumpism that is going to do significant damage to this country that, of course, the dems are going to have to clean up…like after every damn repub administration. The numbers don’t lie if trump does…the latest polls have the idiot boy down by 11 to Biden and in the swing states, trump is down in every one….and it appears that, cross our fingers, that we could pick up 6 senate seats and keep the house…in Arizona…dem Mark Kelly is up by 13 over the universally hated Martha McSally and who could ever have seen that even 4 years ago? Even #richmitch McConnell is in a dead heat with his dem challenger in Kentucky and the Lincoln project has just hit him with their first ad and it’s a beaut…and what about Susan Collins…the senator responsible for Kavanaugh being on the supreme court and trump not being convicted in the senate? Well…she’s down by 9 points to her likely dem challenger and is the most hated senator in the country…behind Mitch of course. So, does this sound like good news? It appears that all of the enablers of trumpism are in trouble for the fall…but damn, why do we always have to come in and fix everything? I really believe that things are changing and the repubs are only looking to the past which should doom them for at least the near future…after all, how many people do you know that think that women shouldn’t have access to birth control? That is still being fought today in the guise of “religious freedom” and how damn backward is that? It’s surely not a winning strategy in 2020…but, keep it up repubs, I want every damn one of you gone forever…
