One More Tentacle of Their Treason [1]

I’ve been under the weather the past few days, and I tried to watch the second Republican debate. But every time I turned it on, it only seemed to make my symptoms worse. I did manage to catch tidbits of the debate here and there, without any ill effects.
Vivek Ramaswamy was prattling on about cutting off foreign aid to Mexico. Genius! Just genius! Maybe if we cut off foreign aid the Mexicans will stop coming? The Salvadorans and the Venezuelans will just stop coming too in solidarity with Mexico. These people are coming here for the same reason Mr. Ramaswamy’s ancestors, and all of our ancestors came here, looking for a better life. So, follow the logic if you can find it. If we make things worse for those migrants at home, they will stop coming. Not!
Backwards land with talk of taking military action against Mexico. Going after the cartels with missiles and drones and promising not to injure any incidental third parties. It’s lunacy, but I suppose what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Those Canadian wildfires certainly are annoying, let’s bomb Ottawa! Mexico is the footpath from Latin America, let’s bomb the highway!
Did you know that all 70,000 Fentanyl deaths are all directly the fault of Joe Biden? I remember well when the soldiers returned from Vietnam hooked on heroin, but nobody blamed Richard Nixon. I remember streets flooded with Cocaine in the 1980s and nobody blamed Saint Ronnie of Reagan. I remember the crack Cocaine epidemic of the 90s and nobody blamed George Bush.
Hundreds of thousands opiate overdoses and deaths with no talk of bombing the Sackler family mansion. It’s all a part of fantasy in backwards land as the Republican Impeachment inquiry began yesterday with a fart and a whimper. It’s Beetlejuice, but without the music and with twice the hand jobs. The Impeachment inquiry is the stroke job of the young century with little evidence and a lot of lube and innuendo.
Donald Trump sent his lawyer Rudy (Lost Weekend) Giuliani and his henchman Lev Parnes to Ukraine trying to dig up dirt on the Biden family. Red eye Rudy contacts a prosecutor fired for corruption due to pressure from the Obama Administration. Specifically, Joe Biden. But Joe was Vice President and solving corruption in Ukraine runs right through the Vice-President’s office?
Giuliani and Parness went to Ukraine specifically to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. So of course, it was all Joe’s fault. That’s all they asked about and all they were interested in finding. The pair could have stumbled across Jimmy Hoffa’s body or the real story of Anastasia Romanov. But if they couldn’t tie it to Joe Biden, they weren’t interested. They interviewed a man fired from his big cushy government job about the Administration that had him fired, because he was corrupt.
“This was all Joe Biden’s fault, wasn’t it? Not Barack Obama’s, not the CIA, not the Justice Department or the State Department, right? All Joe Biden, right?” This is the genesis of the Republican case against the President. Somebody discredited says something self-serving to possibly ingratiate himself with people who could maybe help him in the future. The jailhouse stoolie promised early release for his testimony.
Red eye Rudy is himself discredited and disbarred and Lev Parnes has recanted his story.
Republicans had promised after both Trump impeachments to wreak their vengeance on the next Democratic President if the Republicans ever got their grubby hands on the gavel again. “I’ll get you my pretty and your little dog too!”
Democrats on the committee yesterday motioned for Giuliani and Parness to testify, and Republicans quickly answered, “no!” No testimony from the original source of the information?
But this whole tawdry affair is about trying to bring down an Administration because they can’t raise up their own candidate.
“While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society’s pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he’s in” – Bob Dylan
They work exclusively for Donald Trump. “Impeach Joe Biden for me to get my petty revenge, won’t you?” To shit all over the country, they swore an oath to represent. To obscure and hide an attempt to overthrow the lawful government all for the ringleader’s benefit. Donald Trump wants a government shutdown to sew further dissent (see: Above) “Look what Joe’s done now!”
An angry fractured and cornered Donald Trump about to get his comeuppance, strikes back through his robots. The sedition goes on, and January 6th has never really ended. The house Impeachment inquiry is just one more tentacle of their treason. The Republicans don’t really care about Fentanyl deaths; it’s just something else to blame on Joe Biden. Joe made those people take those drugs.
While in bed recuperating, I was listening to hate radio. They disliked all of the Republican candidates in the debate, almost as much as I do. You’d think with seven Republican candidates on stage they could harvest at least a kernel of something they agreed with. But no, they were incensed by Chris Christie’s “Donald Duck” remark. (How dare he?)They didn’t like Vivek Ramaswamy or Nikki Haley either. Odd, isn’t it? Going off on fellow Republicans like a pot party at Hillary’s house, while never mentioning you know who.
Hate radio dissected, disparaged, and dismantled the Republican candidates they didn’t like without ever once mentioning you know who. Never once calling by name he who they did like. Never once mentioning anything about his pending criminal charges. Never saying anything negative about him who is blameless. Setting up strawmen the Republicans can easily knock over while ignoring a looming government shutdown.
If opening day is any example, the Republicans could be sawing off the limb they are sitting on. Setting the house on fire while still inside it.
“My father’s own father, he waded that river,
They took all the money he made in his life;
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees,
And they rode the truck till they lay down and died.
Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted,
Our work contracts out and we have to move on;
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border,
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves.
We died in your hills, and we died in your deserts,
We died in your valleys and died on your plains.
We died ‘neath your trees and we died in your bushes,
Both sides of the river, we died just the same.”
Written by Woody Guthrie in 1948 and all Joe Biden’s fault. The Republicans never asking what could be done for the migrants to make them want to stay home. Never asking what makes the migrants risk life and limb trying to get here. Just to be used and abused by Republicans for political fodder. By self-centered inhuman monsters with no interest in making this world a better place.
Republicans say science is bad; ignorance is good. Vaccines are dangerous, illness is good. Education is woke, remain sleeping. There’s no such thing as climate change, just your imagination. The Republicans in government say, government is bad and not to be trusted. And they should know, cause they’re in it! Watch closely, and they will now prove it to you!
