Yelping Dogs

As they say, it's the hit dog that yelps - and along with being on indictment watch, I'm keeping my eye on all the yelping dogs.

I don't believe that people like Jordan, Cruz, and Graham are howling incessantly these days out of any loyalty to Trump, or even any sense of fealty to their beleaguered party. They are simply scared shitless of being held accountable for their own complicity in TFG's illegal actions.

No one knows Trump better than those who attached their lips to his ass, in hopes of being rewarded with greater political power in exchange for their willingness to do his bidding.

But being part of that inner circle means knowing without any doubt that Trump will not go down alone. He will expose every single person who acted in furtherance of his crimes - not because he believes it will benefit his defense, but simply because he can.

Donald Trump is a self-absorbed, spiteful narcissist - and no one is more aware of that than the yelping dogs who hope that if they howl loud enough, no one will notice just how terrified they are of being hit.

Attention RW Evangelicals ...

While you've been praying for Trump to be reinstated as POTUS, millions of Americans have been praying for him to be charged and indicted for his crimes.

Given the current news, it seems pretty obvious whose prayers God has decided to answer.

Some snappy slogans to attract tourists to the US this summer

"Come for the mass shootings - stay for the thoughts and prayers!"

"Come for the Jewish Space Lasers - stay for the Gazpacho Police!"

"Come for the climate change denials - stay for the hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods!"

"Come for the good Christian values - stay for the hypocrisy!"

"Come for the book bannings - stay for the illiteracy!"

"Come for the Pride merchandise - stay for the exploding Karens!"

"Come for the woke retailers - stay for the boycotts!"

"Come for the diversity and inclusion - (*this offer void in some states)."

"Come for the most innocent former 'pResident' in history - stay for the indictments and trials!"

Just My Humble Opinion

We are a year and a half away from the 2024 election - and Trump is already sinking into madness. His legal problems have hardly begun, and the evidence against him is mounting on a daily basis.

His lawyers are abandoning him, as he clings to incompetent ass-kissers whose only legal skill is telling him what he wants to hear.

His 'Truth Social' posts are becoming increasingly deranged - his recent statements about "Magadonians" being a prime example of his delusion that he is somehow the head-of-state of some phantasmagorical kingdom that exists only in his own mind.

Trump is losing whatever grasp he ever had on reality - and don't think for a moment that the GOP, along with the "Magadonians", aren't noticing that fact.

Again, we are a year and a half away from the 2024 election. If the current Republican front-runner is already as deranged and delusional as he is right now, where do you think he'll be by November 2024?

The GOP has chosen to support a presidential candidate who could very well be a drooling, incoherent, obviously insane idiot by this time next year - if not sooner.

IMHO, I'm not liking their chances for regaining the White House anytime soon.

Who are you talking about, Republicans?

We keep hearing from the GOP about how voters are focused on "kitchen table issues", like being able to feed their families, pay their bills, cover their rent, and survive from paycheck to paycheck.

And I don't argue with that concept, which is straight out of the bleedin' obvious playbook.

That being said, and given what the GOP has been focused on, I can't help but wonder who these families they're talking about actually are.

Who are these voters that gather at the kitchen table to discuss drag queens, which books they want banned, and how many rainbow T-shirts are available at their local Target store?

Who are these families that sit down at the kitchen table to talk about their main concerns being Disney movies, Amanda Goreman's poetry, "woke" candy makers, and how another investigation of Hillary Clinton is uppermost in their minds?

The People have spoken, loud and clear. The majority of our citizenry is in Favour of legal abortion and getting assault weapons off the streets. And the response from the GOP has been to tighten abortion restrictions and loosen restrictions on access to firearms.

I don't pretend to be a political analyst, but my guess is that those "kitchen table" talks are more about keeping kids safe from school shooters and protecting women's rights than they are about Pride flags and ensuring that billionaires keep their yacht and private jet tax write-offs.

At any given time, any politician can be accused of not being able to read the room. But how totally incompetent can an entire political party be when they can't read an entire nation?

Just wonderin' ...

Now that Tucker Carlson is off the air, where are people getting their news updates on which M&Ms are the sexy ones, and where they can find a testicle tanning salon in their area?

Is there no one left at FOX-News who is willing to pick up his torch and inform the public about the most pressing issues of our time?

"We Welcome the Woke!"

If I was the CEO of a major retailer or restaurant chain being boycotted by the MAGAloons, I would display a giant "We Welcome the Woke" banner in front of all of my business outlets.

I've no doubt that millions of customers would enjoy shopping in a store where the aisles are free of RWers having screaming fits at the sight of a rainbow T-shirt. Imagine the joy of having a meal in complete peace and quiet, without the fear of a MAGA-hat-wearing lunatic having a mental meltdown over a dark-skinned server with a foreign accent.

Being boycotted by the deranged is a badge of honour. and should be used as a marketing tool. If the RWers have already decided not to patronize your business, why not advertise the fact they've rendered it a MAGA-free zone?

A Tale of Two GOP Pigs

I would vote for a 100-year-old candidate who stands up for women's rights before I would vote for a candidate who thinks women's rights are as trivial as they are expendable.

I would vote for Joe Biden, who is being cast by the GOP as being 'senile', before I would vote for a twice-impeached idiot who suggested nuking hurricanes, injecting bleach to cure Covid, and claimed that the Revolutionary War was won when Americans shut down the airports in 1776.

I would vote for Joe Biden any day over any candidate who bans books, vilifies the LGBT community, and thinks that fighting drag queens and Mickey Mouse is somehow proof of his fitness for office.

Honestly, Republicans, I don't know what you were thinking when you decided that your best shot at regaining the White House was championing a lying failure who tried to overthrow democracy, and/or a spineless jerk-off who thinks the rest of the country actually wants to be the same shithole he has turned Florida into.

In case you haven't noticed - and apparently you haven't - the ignorant MAGAts you are trying so hard to appeal to aren't anywhere near enough voters to elect either of your preferred assholes to the Oval Office.

While I appreciate your valiant efforts to put lipstick on your chosen pigs, they still are, first and foremost, two pigs.

Be careful, Republicans

Statements spewed through lying teeth have a tendency to come back and bite you in the ass.

Support for unpopular policies eventually winds up proving how unpopular you are at the ballot box.

Standing by a loser means being a loser - or someone too stupid to recognize a loser when you saw one. Same diff, either way.

Repeatedly kissing a deranged narcissist's ass is always a sign of unrelenting. ass-kissing cowardice.

Betrayal of your own constituents' best interests never bodes well for those walking around with thirty pieces of silver jangling in their pockets.

Betrayal of your own country is not something you can walk back - it's something you'll be walked on for what's left of your political careers.

Being the party of racists, xenophobes, bigots, and conspiracy whack-jobs may look good right now - but I assure you that you'll regret it - if not now, soon - and for the rest of your lives.

The question now is how many off-ramps will you continue to ignore before you recognize the sign-post up ahead - the one that says Last Exit to Sanity Before You Crash and Burn.

Or Forever Hold Your Peace ...

It's no secret. The GOP is now the party of bigots, racists, gun-humpers, and ignorant illiterates determined to destroy democracy.

Their heroes are insurrectionists and murderers, their 'Christianity' is based on hypocrisy, and their 'family values' includes forcing women and female children to carry their rapists' babies to term.

Their concept of 'freedom' is citizens being told what they are allowed to read, to say, and to wear.

Their 'leader' is a twice-impeached, indicted liar currently under investigation for numerous crimes, including attempting to overthrow our government. And their idea of 'strength' is to kiss his ass and kow-tow to his every insane demand.

Now is the time for any and all Republicans who don't want to be forever associated with the party of conspiracy-spewing whackjobs to stand up and speak out - and in case you haven' noticed, time is running out.
