Didja ever wonder what's gonna happen...

to all the Republicans who suddenly decided to "retire" and their involved friends in industry and business if a Democrat is elected in 2020 and the Democrats take the Senate and keep the house after all the cash, promises and special offers Vlad has invested in trying to destroy this country didn't work? Or even to the Russian oligarchs who didn't get their jobs done?

Maybe a lot of "accidents, suicides, poisonings, bad things happening to relatives or other disappearances"?

Could be an interesting 2021!

MSM TV Headlines: October 19, 2020

(One scenario of how this all might go down.)


GOP and Liberal Media Rescue Democracy

President Trump was impeached today after being found guilty by the Senate. Republican Senators along with enough Democrats voted for impeachment saying, as the majority, they made a tough decision but in the end had to defend democracy whatever the cost.

Asked why they took so long to come to their decision, current Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told the gathered reporters,

" We needed to make sure our Senators had all the facts and were not just on a witch hunt. We take our patriotism seriously and decided that even though President Trump was one of us, we always believed nobody is above the law. So we did the only thing that we could do, we Republicans decided to investigate the evidence completely and after many, many months of our hard, but fair, investigation, we did the hard, but right thing - the patriotic thing. We found him guilty. Today is a day to move forward and we ask all patriotic Americans to forgive but not necessarily forget the past years and look forward very soon to continue working with us for a better future for America. Thank you and God Bless America."

There you have it, Americans. The Republicans came through when they were needed. This bodes well for the upcoming elections showing our republic takes its oath seriously and does work. Back to you in the studio!

The Day After...impeachment

We've all been too worried the asshole in charge isn't going to leave office after 2020 claiming President forever.

But with everything that's happened the last week and his mind finally going, I worry more about him finally realizing (in some crazy burst of sanity) that he's being impeached, ridiculed and is a total laughing stock then deciding to board Air Force 1 and head to Moscow.

Maybe not so bad you think? Whether you know it or not, he still has the launch codes and is fully capable of executing them from anywhere including Air Force 1 as it approaches moscow. He's also capable of delaying our counter strike in case Vlad pushes the button. Are you listening Generals?


Barry Maguire said it best in 1965's Eve of Destruction":
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save,
with the world in a grave.


Could be a long 24 hours of holding our breath after impeachment for America and the World.

Happy thoughts!

If I were on twitter...

I'd post this just to get under his skin. And keep reminding him about it all the time.

Isn't the media forgetting something?

Based on the testimony today, we know pretty much squat that we knew before.

Why?

Maybe if the fucking redacted parts were revealed things would be different. You mean no Representative could ask if there was much more information in the "redacted" report that might educate the public?

If there was nothing there, why not publicize it?

And did Nancy or any other congressional reps read the un-redacted report?

Did any newsreader (there are no journalists) even bother to ask if anyone other than Trump, Republicans or Barr read the whole report? The democrats need to be pushing the point home that ALL the report data must be released.

Impeachment hearings would allow that and more but Nancy and the "moderates" and especially the Republicans don't want that for some reason.

Until the whole report is revealed, the Republicans win.

Imagine if a president were assassinated and the report was never made public....wait, uh, never mind.

Stay stupid, sheep.

It's a shame...

that either Harris or Warren won't be president.

But it'll be fantastic when EITHER one becomes president.

The Journalist's Creed - Honest!

This is right up there with 45's :
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."


The Journalist's Creed*

- I believe in the profession of journalism.
- I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of a lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust.
- I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.
- I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.
- I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible.
- I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one’s own pocketbook is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.
- I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that the supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.
- I believe that the journalism which succeeds best — and best deserves success — fears God and honors Man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance and, as far as law and honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting international good will and cementing world-comradeship; is a journalism of humanity, of and for today’s world.


The Journalist's Creed is a personal affirmation of journalism ethics written by Walter Williams in 1914. The creed has been published in more than 100 languages, and a bronze plaque of The Journalist's Creed hangs at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Williams was the founding dean of the Missouri School of Journalism.

* Doesn't pertain to Fox...or others you could name.
