Well..in what is becoming a sickening occurrence, the New York Times has gone off the rails again today with the worst sort of bothsiderism that I have ever seen…and a complete, stupid misinterpretation of the first amendment. As the right wing continues to whine that people are pushing back on their lies and conspiracy theories and won’t listen to them spew that nonsense, the Times is on it, first with a right wing college student who was given the editorial page to whine that no one listens to her spout her bullshit and calls it “cancelling” her rights under the first amendment, and today, the editorial page stays on that theme saying that the biggest danger to our first amendment rights is the left not listening and calling bullshit on these right wing assholes. Now, I’ve read the first amendment, and there is not one damn thing in there that says you have a constitutional right to be listened to as you lie your ass off and spout racist, misogynist bullshit…remember folks, the first amendment only applies to the government regulating speech…if I don’t want to hear someone spouting that the idiot trump was the bestest president in the history of the universe, I don’t have to give you a forum to continue to say it…or an ear to listen to it and the snowflakes on the right wing just don’t understand why no one wants to hear their crap other than other trump cult members….and it IS my right to call a right wing racist asshole a right wing racist asshole and dismiss them without letting them pollute my ears with their bullshit…back when I was young, none of the crap the repubs are pushing daily was accepted and the party policed that nonsense…could you imagine anyone taking Khrushev’s side 50 years ago? Or being on Russian tv on a loop to support a war that the rest of the world is against? This is just another incidence where the right wing editors of the NYT are doing everything in their power to normalize how far to the fascist side the repubs have gone over the past 30 years….we all need to call them out and make sure there is a price to pay for all of the lies the repubs continue to spout…and that is not protected by the first amendment…geez…

Why hasn’t bill barr been disbarred?
Well…we all know that former AG bill barr was as corrupt as they come, but the revelations of this week where he used the full might of the justice department to investigate to try to get dirt on a reporter from the Washington Post in direct violation of the first amendment…and this wasn’t the first time barr tried this crap…he got involved in trying to find out who was behind the parody accounts that went after devin nunes know as “devinnunescow” and others who tried to hold trump’s cronies accountable for their bullshit and lies. I really can’t understand why bill barr hasn’t been disbarred yet and his law license taken away for failing to follow his oath of office and the rules of the American Bar Association…look, I know we are all weary of hearing how bad these guys are…but we need to figure out how to get the Biden admin to hold these assholes accountable or the next ones will be worse and we’ll no longer have a democracy anymore…geez…
How much more dumb does he have to get?
Well…I think I just gave myself whiplash shaking my head at the latest bit of utter stupidity from the stupident when, after a speech to the CPAC hate group, he announced with the idiotic, smug, self satisfaction of an idiot who thinks he’s smart, that he is going to sign an executive order to guarantee freedom of speech….okay, see shaking your head that hard does hurt. Where to start with this one? I guess now we know idiot boy has never read the constitution let alone understand it…I mean, geez…it’s the first damn amendment…you don’t have to read too far to get to it…and it doesn’t take any interpretation either….you know, I’m am so damn tired that other idiots foisted this moron on us here in the US and we have to live with this stupidity every damn day…okay…this is harshing my Saturday and Pink Floyd is on AXS…so, I’m going to do that instead….
The toddler in chief is whining again…
Well…will someone on the right please go read the first amendment to the toddler in chief? I know I say this a lot but trump is dumber than a box of rocks…and he put that stupidity on full display this weekend when he went off on twitter attacking SNL for hurting his fee fees with a hilarious takedown of his delusional, just frickin nuts speech announcing the “national emergency” that his fevered brain created out of thin air so he can build his stupid wall along the Mexican border. If you haven’t seen the tweets, the gist is he is calling for “retribution” against SNL for pointing out how ridiculous idiot boy is, and this bullshit just shows he knows nothing of the oath he took to protect the Constitution, or the fact that the first amendment protects most speech from interference by the government….but, hey…that never stopped the moron before, his ignorance has been on display for long enough now that this is, sadly, just par for the course…yeah, did you get that one? Ha, ha….luckily we have less than two years to have to put up with trump’s bullshit…or maybe even less as the multiple investigations close in on the crime family he heads…oh, and by the way…Mueller has found that Roger Stone DID conspire with Wikileaks and the Russians…and that information came from the Russians who were indicted by Mueller, not only from American evidence…so who is the colluder now, Donnie boy? Impeach…
Now it’s the first amendment…
Well…if there was any doubt in your mind that the idiot trump wants to be a tin pot dictator, just take a look at his tweets from this morning when he attacked NBC for running a story that he didn’t like and threatened them with having their FCC license revoked since they only report “fake news”. Now, we all know this idiot doesn’t know anything about the constitution or the bill of rights, but, isn’t there anyone around him that does? Isn’t there anyone that can hold this toddler’s hand and explain the first amendment to him? That kind of important point that says the “freedom of the press shall not be abridged”? Geez…I am so damn tired of this moron’s daily destruction of the country due to trump just being trump…I know there are articles of impeachment that have been entered in the house today that don’t include today’s attack on our country…and I call on repubs to take these articles seriously…you have been supporting trump because you know he is a fool that will sign anything that is put in front of him, but c’mon…you haven’t gotten anything to his desk and you won’t with the idiot in the WH…he is too big a liability for any progress…so just get rid of him already…impeach…
Oh, and one last thing that I forgot to mention that just points out trump’s just utter ignorance about everything…NBC as a network doesn’t have an “FCC license”…they are issued to individual stations….what a moron…geez…
Bye, bye first amendment….
Well….I wonder if you have been paying attention to the asinine, dangerous crap that has been spewing out of Trumps mouth for…okay, forever….and yesterday, in the aftermath of the bombing in NYC, he let another mouth fart go…blaming the first amendment for the bombing…yeah, I know, just reading about his torturous logic make my head hurt, too, but bear with me….his reason for blaming the first amendment is that magazines and newspapers have instructions for making bombs in them and he would arrest the people running the mags since they are “accomplices”….and any website that had anything he didn’t like…arrest them, too…even though it is illegal to do…this is what the repubs have given us…the first candidate who waves the constitution with one hand and the wants to shred it with the other….now, who else thinks this is disqualifying? Yeah, I know, it really doesn’t matter what Trump says…he is the first post truth, post knowledge candidate that over 40% of the country says they’ll vote for….I knew there were lots of stupid people in this country, but not this many…geez…
The right still doesn’t understand the Constitution…
Well…the right is all up in arms today about the reaction to the homophobic, racist comments that one of the stars of “Duck Dynasty” made in an interview with GQ magazine, going on and on about how his first amendment rights have been violated since he has been suspended from A&E for the comments. Man, these folks just don’t understand the document that they wave around their heads, do they? The first amendment protects your freedom of speech…and this idiot is still free to say whatever he wants…there is no one trying to silence him…but, due to the repubs continual deference to corporations and the right of these corporations to do whatever they want to their employees, A&E has every right to suspend him…the first amendment has nothing to say about the fallout from your free speech. This is something the left has been clamoring for for decades, to try to limit the power of corporations over the constitutional rights of employees but the right just thinks that there need to be no laws, that corporations will do what’s right just because they are “nice”…something we all know is not and never has been the case. I still support the right of this homophobic, racist ass to say whatever comes into his tiny mind, but the right has to remember that words have consequences…geez…
Let’s add this nonsense from Kansas…
Well…this is really going to be a short one but again, I felt I had to comment on some repub nonsense…this time from the governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback…it seems that the governor’s staff took issue with a tweet from an 18 year old high school senior that was not complimentary to the governor…and then proceeded to contact the principal of the school who then called the young woman in to his office to try to force her to send a written apology to the governor. Now, there are so many things wrong with this that I don’t have to state them…let’s just say it’s another instance where the repubs have no idea what is in the first amendment to the constitution or how that amendment protects even students rights to speak freely and express their opinions…aren’t you getting tired of this nonsense…I sure am…geez…
Welcome to the Soviet Union…courtesy of the Supreme Court..
Well…as I sit here today, I am saddened, outraged, and stunned by the latest nail in the coffin of individual freedom here delivered by the supreme court over the past few days. It hasn’t been enough that this court has muted the individuals voice in politics by the Citizens United decision allowing unlimited corporate money to buy elections, then they allow employers to take away any rights the individual has in the workplace by not allowing lawsuits against egregious violations of many laws that were written to protect workers rights, now, they gut the fourth amendment by allowing police to create “emergencies” that allow them to enter anyone’s house without a warrant. This latest case that this wrong headed court has ruled on allows the police to bang on any door without cause and then if they hear any noise that the police construe to be “destroying evidence” can enter the house without a warrant…even if no one int he house is suspected of any crime. Yep, you heard it again, it’s more of the “trust us” baloney that you always hear from the police…guess how this one is going to be used? Any critic of police tactics that has the guts to speak out better watch out….the knock will be coming to your door soon and not getting to the door fast enough can be construed to be resisting arrest…someone please save us from ourselves….geez….
