Atticus's JournalThump-thump! Ooh, Jeff Sessions now has bus tire tracks across his back!
Gee, hooda thunk Trump would be small and spiteful and disloyal?
Chuck Woolery, the smarmy snake oil salesman recently retweeted by Trump, was the "personality"
who appeared on TV commercials several years ago to promote an expensive gimmick called the "Willow Curve". The device was basically a low level light assembly that was said to provide drugless pain relief. It cost over $600 and was strapped onto the knee or elbow or wherever the pain was located. Chuck "guaranteed" that the Willow Curve would "change your life."
The FTC sued the manufacturer and its owners, alleging that the claims were deceptive, false and unproven. There was never any scientific evidence that validated the claims of pain relief.
Woolery is a RWNJ who, if the price is right, can be hired to recite any script. He is an enthusiastic supporter of Trump.
In Alabama's GOP primary run-off between Sessions and Tuberville, we can be certain that
a white supremacist will prevail.
Intentionally assaulting people, bombing buildings, arson, theft----all of these we judge to be
illegal and immoral---except when we do them in furtherance of defeating an enemy in time of war.
Why, do you think?
I think it is because we recognize that in times of true emergency, when our actual survival is in imminent peril, our innate right to self-preservation---pardon the expression---"trumps" our usual notions of what is "OK" and "doable". When whether you---or someone you love---will live or die depends upon whether or not you take immediate action to incapacitate or destroy an enemy, there is little room for notions such as civility, fairness or legality. I'm sure there are those who disagree, but that's how I see it.
I believe we are either at or fast approaching the point where we must decide whether we are actually engaged in a war for our survival as a nation and whether our usual and cherished "rule of law" has truly considered and provided for a lawless and amoral monster such as Trump.
If we are so engaged and if our current laws provide us no protection, what is to be done?
I have a plan to get rid of "It", but need help with the very first step:
how can we get him back down in that storm drain?
I already have the slingshot.
Folks, stop a minute, okay? I know there is a lot of confusing and infuriating crap
being flung at us on an almost hourly basis lately, but let's not allow ourselves to be distracted from THE cause of it all: Donald Trump in the White House and his Trumpist disciples.
Everything we do or say should make it abundantly clear that he is a criminal, this is a criminal regime and anyone still supporting the maniac is guilty of aiding and abetting. No Republican is guiltless; no Republican is unstained; no Republican should be re-elected.
Surgeons do not remove part of a cancerous tumor. They take great pains to cut out every last malignant cell. From POTUS down to our local school boards and township trustees, there is only one way to vote: straight Democratic.
The cancer of Trumpism must be excised from the body politic.
Trump's commutation of Roger Stone is his latest extension of his middle finger to
the majority of Americans. As I sat considering that image this evening, I was reminded of an evening over 50 years ago when another loudmouth flipped off the wrong person.
Bill and his girlfriend were walking across the parking lot of a bar that many of us underage adventurers visited often back in the sixties. They were on their way to Bill's car when they passed a trio of losers who were sitting on a pickup truck drinking beer. One made a very vulgar remark about Bill's date as they passed him and was taken aback when Bill turned and said "Apologize---NOW!"
The potty-mouth respondedby sliding off the tailgate and sticking his raised middle finger into Bill's face. Bill grabbed the guy's wrist with his left hand and the offensive finger with his right. The audible "snap" as the digit was broken backwards was drowned out by the guy's scream which quickly turned into the sound of his crying like a baby.
I wish Bill could meet Donald in a parking lot.
Trump has narrowed his options as to how to handle the "Stone situation" down to these three:
1.) Pardon, 2.) Commutation, or 3.) Epsteinicide.
Has anyone seen the terms of Michael Cohen's "furlough"? It is my understanding that they did not
specifically require "home confinement".
