All that Fux bantering about a few routdy but peaceful goons make me sick. Any civilized country with a little peace of a brain would end that bullshit media KKKlown show ASAP. I have one main wish for my bucket list. And that is, that evil, war criminal heartless, (not his heart) SOB, DICK Cheney unleashes all holy hell on Trump, his circle jerks, and Fux for attacking his little girl. If he could rid America if THOSE terrorists, Much more deadly than Iraq ones, most of his murder for cash could be…….no, forget that, not forgivable. But he owes the country that at minimal. Maybe I would forgo pissing on his grave. I think for the cost of his war, put to use right here, we’d get much more value out of our tax dollars, destroying our greatest threat to America.
How the hell do those Capital police and surviving loved ones keep from storming Fux Noose and beating all those assholes with a flag pole until they can’t utter another word, ever.
The trump cult makes me see the American flag now and almost gag, and I dread the World Cup this Fall. The USA, USA, chant makes me vomit now. Make America Great Again my ass. How much bigger will trumps hat need to get to accommodate the huge font he keeps expanding.
MURDOCK and FUX are the Number one terrorists in the world. Come on Cheney, you will be welcomed as a liberator. Get the band back together and eliminate the weapon of mass destruction, that is FUX BULL SHIT.

The Thursday night hearings showing all the raging loons attacking the Capital and near the end had trump’s own words dubbed over the video. Peace and love between the police and his patriots. Open up the next hearings with that same rampaging vicious video and every one of these clips Jimmy showed of Fux et al spewing that bullshit. It’s already there, Jimmy’s folks did the splicing and editing, I am certain he would hand it to Liz.

So that FAUX News can no longer use that term unless they cut the crap.

So they can call it INFOtainment - informed opinions, but not news.

NEWS should have an FCC requirement to have FACTS and tell what happened and who did what, but NOT spend time giving US our opinion about it. NEWS is to be the Fourth Estate doing it's job.

As soon as the "Opinion" part starts, they have to run a banner at the bottom of the screen. THESE OPINIONS ARE NOT NEWS FACTS BUT INTERPRETATIONS. VIEWERS ARE ADVISED TO GET THE FACTS FIRST BEFORE TAKING THESE OPINIONS AS THE FULL PICTURE OF EVENTS.

So whether it's a DEM opinion or Rethug opinion, same process. Check the facts and make up your own mind. DEMs will be fine as that is how we already operate. Rethugs will rule INFOtainment, but can't call themselves NEWS.

I just watched the Part 2 of George Carlin, The American Dream. Everything he ranted on is spot on right now. Abortion, Religion, Politics, and stupid people. Appatow Produced it and the last 10 minutes he had videos of current hell scape, trump and insurrection included, with audio of Carlin’s stand up rants of it all, as if George wrote it last night. Fux, Tucker, Christian’s and MTG would be calling for Carlin to be assassinated. I mean really, Stupid People, Hershel could be Senator and Alaska is on the verge of Palin as Senator, and trump could steal the seat as President. George is in a better place, with his first wife he adored. And cracking up Satan with his factual take on his fucked up our species is. The Doc replays on HBO, I recommend watching. It hit a home run with the comparisons and the extent of stupid. Appatow needs to produce Dem campaign adds.

Carlin was channeling Orwell it seems. I understand him, but I'm not a huge fan of how he presents.

I get it that the situation kinda calls for it, but it's easy to decide that EVERYTHING from the other side is automatically bad and/or that THEY are always the problem.

BLACK and WHITE thinking makes someone the villain and someone the good guy.

There is a whole world of color besides Black and White and even Black and White has a full scale of grey in between.

NO ONE IS perfect and NO ONE is evil incarnate, though tRump comes close.

It is about WHO is taking actions that SUPPORT the Constitution and the rights of the people and WHO is trying to tear that apart?

It's about actions and some people have done a little of both, like Pence, but when the stakes were the highest, he did the right thing. So sometimes we have allies because we are dedicated to keeping America a place where people can really be free and able to work on improving their lot in life.

Hershel shat all over himself. We just have to use his stupidity against him and say, you want another tRump mouthpiece that has been hit in the head too many times to have his own opinion any more, or do you want someone who will listen to the people and do the right thing?

Palin. Yeah, sick Tina Fey on that bit. She couldn't make it as VP and probably lost John McCain his chance at being President.

We need to lock tRump up. Or have him executed as a traitor. It might make him a martyr, but it will show people that treason has a HIGH cost. And without his stupid tongue wagging, we might have 10 or 15 minutes of peace before the shit starts flying again.

I am an extrovert and lots of times as I am responding to someone else is where I find clarity.

I've always cringed about Carlin, mostly because I am ready to change the channel when they get into using profanity to MAKE the bit more exciting. That bores me. I feel it's a bit of a cop out to rely on it, rather than just a sprinkle here and there.

BUT I am still open to changing my thoughts about people and their ideas if I can get more meat from it.

If it's just a rant, I'm angry at everything they did because ..... then it's hard to stay tuned.

IF it's like, if ANYONE did this, I would be mad at them. That person does THIS ALL THE TIME so I am really pissed at them, it makes sense.

No matter WHO punches me in the nose, I am not going to like it. Punching people in the nose is BAD behavior.

BUT people and groups are not all one thing or another.

SO if I can get the best out of anyone, I will try.

Helping an elderly neighbor paint his fence last week. He made a point to me that stuck. Don’t have time or energy to fret about everything in the world. Times winning so all he tries to focus on is 10 square miles. His world consists of ten square miles, other than voting he has no control outside of that. He will just live out what’s left in that area. Sure takes a lot of stress and hate off of ya in that perspective. Cheers. Make it a great Sunday. As a veteran Navy guy, I’m kind of immune to cussing. I try to keep it way down, but that’s the only adjectives we knew. But I like your stance on it’s use. Intelligent meaningful words can have a greater impact on the point ya wanna make. To people that matter. I know trump has “All the best words” (with his cult). That’s the intellect he draws to the party. Just watch em rant. I was in the Navy when Carlin took off. We were all angry in there, with the likes of Nixon, war, and no right to vote thing going on, but ya can go die for his sustained power.
10 square miles, 6,400 acres. That’s more than enough to try to manage. Faith and hope. How I would like to go out.

Some version of only taking on what I can and not worrying about everything as that just stops me in my tracks.

Have a great day.

I probably won't be on much going forward as I've been home with Covid and hopefully back at work next week. That is a big limiter of my time and energy.
