Donnie And Justin!

For once a foreign leader didnt accept that power boy handshake from President Agent Orange. Justin Trudeau, Canada's pretty boy prime minister, hopped out of his limo and took Trump's hand and shoved it right back at him. And for that, we are all Canadian today, eh?

The whole weekend of this Trump disaster is becoming a weekly deal. This incompetent nitwit has only been in office for 23 days yet it seems like its been 23 years. While openly talking about a North Korean challenge on Saturday night in public so that waiters and busboys now know about what happened than the freakin Joint Chiefs, to realizing his actual priorities and crashing a wedding of the daughters of one of his donors after he learns of the North Korean missile. Migawd he's making this so easy for his Russian masters. And right in front of his cultish supporters.

Trump left his compound in Florida, the often pimped Mar-a-Lago, and tweeted about all the supporters lining the streets to bid him a fond farewell, at least until next weekend.Does this mean El Presidente has stopped the Dakota Pipeline, because thats the only way all those "supporters" were actually "supporters". The man's delusion has no line.

The press conference with Justin Trudeau today was also a koke. Trump called on two people. A local reporter from DC just dying to get to Fox News and some dumb bunny from the Daily Caller. The questions were softballs and Trump gave his normal I won I'm great I won huge I'm kicking out criminals I'm getting praised answers. Trudeau spoke French and as far as I know he called Trump a smelly skunk but the difference between these two leaders is stark. One is a charismatic young man with a world vision and compassion and the other is a bloated tiny mouthed bully who lost to a woman by 3 million votes.

Speaking of three million votes. Trump has sent his flunkies out to continue this charade of himself winning by huge margins if you leave out the illegal voting. The new strategy is to send his creepy SS looking aide Stephen Miller out to holler voter fraud being well documented in New Hampshire where they apparently bus in thousands of Massachusetts voters to vote for the Democrat. Uhh of course this is absurd and no evidence exists about this lie because its a fucking lie. But Miller and his propaganda hero, Heinrich Himmler, both know of the Big Lie. Trump himself believes if you tell a lie 3 times it becomes fact to a certain segment of cretins low information voters. But all that bullshit about voter fraud means nothing compared to that Nazi creep Trump aide's statement about immigration. Herr Miller actually stated, out loud, the following:

"The powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned."

Well how Sieg Heilee of you, Steve. Stephen Miller is a rat faced little goosestepping white supremacist endorsed by Nazi punchee Richard Spencer and by KKK enthusiast David Duke. To listen to this jackoff yesterday was to become enraged all over again. Man talk about punchable faces.

Keep it up. The days of this administration are numbered. The Russians are in the situation room for chrissakes. The National Security Advisor is compromised by his Russian handlers. There are spies being arrested in Russia days after this band of Cossacks took power. Yet, to truly awful rats like Mitch McConnell and dead eyed soulless hypocrites like Paul Ryan, this traitorous administration is simply a tool to be used in a crusade to destroy government and impoverish 99% of us. Once that is accomplished, THEN, they will turn to Pence and his creepy closet case views.

This is going to be a long ride, eh?

The Grammys!!

Sorry I am too old to watch the Grammys like I used to when I was young because I have hit that age where I constantly holler at the TV "WHO IS THAT???".

So I do what a lot of people do. Wait for Twitter to tell me whats up.

Last night at the Grammys was a duel between Beyonce and Adele. Adele I guess won and then refused to accept it. Well at least Kanye didnt run up onstage to rant about the apparent screw job. Who is better? I have no idea cuz I dont listen to either cuz like I said before I am old.

Two guys in their underwear accepted an award for something. Some du.o called the Chainsmokers accepted an award on behalf of David Bowie which I am glad I missed cuz I would have been hollering again. There was a saccharin tribute to the Bee Gees which I missed. The only time I turned it on live I saw some guy named Sturgill Simpson begin a song by twanging and I was gone.

But two moments occurred that I have now seen numerous times via the internet. One was A Tribe Called Quest, a rap group from back when guys like Chuck D and NWA actually did songs that mattered. When Busta Rhymes came out and bellowed about "President Agent Orange" I was hooked.

"I wanna thank President Agent Orange for perpetuating all the evil that you’ve been perpetuating throughout the United States."
"I wanna thank President Agent Orange for your unsuccessful attempt at the Muslim ban."

"But we come together. We the people!"

Thats what shows like this need.

But Lady Gaga and Metallica. Oh my god. Two weeks in a row I have seen an entertainer I didnt give a rats ass about perform and sit there with my mouth gaping open. Now Metallica is one of my music gods and the news that Gaga was going to sing with them intrigued me. When Twitter warned me what was up I had to see it. Moth Into Flame.

James Hetfield's mic did not work. But thank the gods Gaga's did. I may have become the straightest Gaga fan ever now that I know she could fucking tour with them and actually make them better. Unlike Lou Reed, who made them unlistenable, GaGa turned from gay icon into heavy metal goddess belting out Moth Into Flame and turning Metallica into something new. I felt like it was 1983 again and I was hearing Seek and Destroy for the first time. Goddam, Lady Gaga, where have I been all your life?

Baseball!

Now for something I really care about. That stupid Cleveland Indians logo of a smiling Chief Wahoo has got to go. And it will. Cuz racism is still not cool despite the 2016 election.

No thats not it. That logo is toast. Only white guys who think political correctness means they arent supposed to be openly racist and gawdammit they will be racist any damn time they want to cuz some of their best friends are Injuns and shit will cling to the Chief. Much like the Washington football team clings to its racial slur nickname. An actual racial slur is an "honor". Hoo boy thats just precious, racial slur fans.

No no the real horror is that baseball will "experiment" in rookie leagues and Class A ball with a new way to speed up games. If a game goes into extra innings, a runner is placed on second base to start the inning. Ok now, the problem with this XFL type bullshit is twofold. First of all, the game has already gone on too long by the time you get to the 10th inning. Second of all, 75% of the crowd has already gone home. Only the real fans stay and the real fans dont want you fucking around with the most perfect sport ever invented.

Look, baseball powers that be. Ive been watching this sport since I was 7 years old and my Dad took me to Wrigley Field. I fell in love with it then. Please dont fuck this love affair up.

Trying to speed up a sport that DOES take too long by jacking with the rules is so football like. Football is the most popular sport in this country for a variety of reasons. Betting and violence and the fact its held once a week on weekends. Thats about it. Watching a sport which lasts an hour officially, 3-4 hours in real time, and features about 5 minutes of actual play baffles me. I personally find it rather tedious. But they screw with the rules constantly, mostly because its fans are usually hammered and dont notice. But baseball? Stop!

Look baseball is way too long. The reason is simple. Capitalism. The TV people have made a game that lasted 2 to 2.5 hours when I was a kid (or 90 minutes if Bob Gibson was pitching) to a 3-4 hour endurance test because of their endless commercials. Well we know tgaht isnt going to stop so what else can we do? Oh yeah, enforce the actual fucking rules. You know........this rule

"When the bases are unoccupied, the pitcher shall deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds after he receives the ball. Each time the pitcher delays the game by violating this rule, the umpire shall call “Ball.”

Period. Enforce it. Pitchers bitch and eventually adapt about the 20th time they get a ball call. Baseball players not the smartest athletes after all.

If you enforce that rule, baseball morons in charge, the game goes back to what it was. 2 hours of bliss. Thank you and when do pitchers and catchers report?

Wartime Consigliore'!!!

The United States Senate continued its conspiracy to destroy government and civil rights and the middle class last night by confirming the Conflict of Interest in Chief's latest incompetent moron with a name so utterly stereotypical it brings visions of 1863 to mind. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the Third, boy, is now the Attorney General of these United States. Congrats not only to the Russians for their victory in the Cold War but additional congrats are now due to the Confederacy. You boys finally did it. Hot damn!

Sessions was confirmed by a 52-48 vote in the Senate, including Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin who shamelessly french kissed his white constituency with the vote. Now West Virginia, full of coal miners and heroin addicts all because of Obama, is not the kind of state that elects Democrats and Manchin is well aware of this. But voting FOR Jeff Sessions is quite the conflict of interest for Joe Manchin. Now I realize conflict of interest doesnt seem to matter to a certain segment of white America any longer, but Manchin has a daughter, Heather Bresch, who is CEO of Mylan, a pharmaceutical giant who decided jacking the price of EpiPens by about 400% in the last 10 years. So if you have a life threatening allergic reaction, it'll cost ya $600 or more to stay alive. The Senate, last year anyway, decided to look into this price gouge increase. But now, with Sessions in charge,boy, get ready to absorb the EpiPen needle stick right in your bank account while Manchin and Heather cackle in the background.

Sessions is now the consigliore government's lawyer. But in reality he is about to serve as Trump's personal attack dog lawyer. The fucking FBI is probably already gearing up to relive the Hoover years, the good old days when they could harass the shit out of whoever opposed the regime and look away to the untold number of murders of black people by local cops. Sessions is basically Tom Hagen to Trump's Michael Corleone, exacting his wacky deals and enforcing his unconstitutional EO's.

Hey legal pot smokers. Wake up for a second. Start stocking up because under Grand Wizard Attorney General Sessions your stupid legal weed is in danger. Who gives a shit what you local voters think? Jefferson B the Third doesn't like you. He thinks the Klan was ruined by pot smokers like you. Good people dont smoke marijuana. Absolutely ruined the good ole boys of the Klan. So asset forfeiture is back in play. Federal enforcement of anti-weed federal laws is back in play. Sessions is a real buzz kill.

Sessions doesn't much like immigrants either unless you are from one of the European countries as long as its not south of France . He is openly hostile to not only Muslim immigrants but also those immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa. So the days of America First have just begun.

LGBTQ folks have especially fond memories of Sessions with more to come. Jeff once said that gay marriage, a basic civil right to anyone not brainwashed by con job Jesus shit, was an “effort to secularize, by force and intimidation.” Intimidation? Only perhaps to the deep closeted parts of his sick mind. Sessions is such a homophobe that he once tried to stop an LBGTQ informational conference from meeting on the University of Alabama campus. Shot down numerous times by University administrators and the courts, Sessions, the Attorney General of Alabama at the time, cited outdated sodomy laws in an attempt to stop those icky gays from meeting and holding orgies right there at the sacred football stadium. Gear up the lawyers folks cuz you have no friend in this 1861 mindset.

DeVos was bad enough. Her job is to destroy the public school system so federal money can go to Jesus. But Sessions' job is to suck Trumps ass. Whatever the vengeful creep in chief wants, Sessions will now justify. And that is the real dangerous cabinet member. Jeff Sessions is a bigoted blowhard raised as a son of the Confederacy. We already crushed those Stars and Bars waving dimbulbs numerous times. Now the Confederacy has one of its own "enforcing" the law.

Just superb. Wait for the anti-misegeny laws to make a comeback. Wait for the anti-sodomy laws to make a comeback. Wait for the conflict of interest laws to be gutted. The shining light on the hill is nothing more than a cross burning, boy.

The Madness Of King Donnie!

The madness of King Donnie the First isnt getting better, its getting worse. Reportedly wandering the halls in his bathrobe, alone. watching cable news incessantly looking for perceived slights, opening doors, holding meetings in the dark due to the inability to find light switches, and plotting his revenge on his enemies from years back. Trump is truly going mad in that big house, all alone. What will be Trump's rosebud?

Today the Madman went to McDill AFB to talk to the people he now commands and naturally began by bragging of his great election 2nd place finish. Ok that's Trump, obsessed with size and his own importance. The collective yawn is getting louder.

But then the loony son of a bitch began his the only thing to fear is Radical Islam itself bullshit. Mentioning cities where terrorist attacks have taken place in his oh so pointed way of keeping his fearful base in line, Trump went beyond the line once again. He accused the news media, the "dishonest" news media of covering up attacks, not reporting on attacks, ya know, like that Bowling Green massacre that probably 50% of his cult members now believe happened. Yeah there was probably a mass murder by some radical Islamist 5 or 6 blocks from you just yesterday and nobody bothered to report on it.

This is crazy. The Commander in Chief telling his minions that there are actual terrorist attacks going on that the media will not report because "They have their reasons and you understand that." What exactly is this lunatic trying to accomplish? To turn the military into his own private security force? Who would take orders from this maniac? Yeah there General, there was an attack in San Francisco this morning, not reported of course by the dishonest media, so I need you to retaliate by nuking the Bay Area, California's out of control anyway, right?

This is getting more and more dangerous each and every day. Until this Republican Congress decides to grow a pair of balls and realize their goal of impoverishing 99% of America is really second only to stopping a nutjob from impoverishing the entire planet before he drops the snow globe and whispers "USFL" or whatever made this kook happy, we are being forced to live with this.

Thanks a lot to America's hillbillies for unleashing this psychopath on everyone.

Best Super Bowl Ad!

The best Super Bowl ad wasnt even shown. If you watch this and are not moved to anything beyond being pissed off and afraid, get lost.

Not A Super Bore!

If you think that entire halftime show was apolitical you werent paying attention. And for that I thank Lady GaGa for her subtleness and the right for not being the brightest bulbs on the dying tree of liberty.

Lady GaGa is not this old hippie's cup of tea, after all I remember the good old days of Bowie and The New York Dolls, but for chrissakes that woman is one talented intelligent performer. Starting at the top of the stadium and singing a snippet of God Bless America and thus bringing in the right, she shifted to the inclusive This Land Is Your Land (written by a socialist in response to God Bless America)before reciting the under Gawd section of the Pledge of Allegiance (also written by a socialist without that Red Scare Gawd part) and bringing back the right (except for Laura Ingraham who is apparently deaf) GaGa then jumped into the stadium and began her kick ass show. If you dont think that the all inclusive tunes that GaGa belted out were not a gigantic fuck you to the narrow minded, you werent listening. So for that I bow before my new favorite performer of music I dont particularly like. But I'll tell you, if she ever comes this way, I am so there because a GaGa show is pure entertainment and if you listen to something besides the good beat, you may learn something about inclusion. Bravo, Stephanie!

I dont really give a rat's ass about the NFL since the Chicago Bears are usually eliminated from contention by week 4 and Jay Cutler so takes the joy of watching football out of me faster than seeing a Roger Goodall interview on concussions. But jumping on an Atlanta Falcons bandwagon because Tom Brady, Bill Belicheck and Robert Kraft have hobnobbed with the despicable Donald Trumpski is not an option. Like the owners of the Falcons, a multi million dollar money machine, arent Trumpski fans. I really dont think of the Super Bowl as political but as long as everything has become that why not go with it. Massachusetts went Hillary. Georgia went Trumpski. So fuck you Atlanta and I'm glad you choked away that win.

Donald Trumpski equating his murdering Russian puppetmasters with the United States is truly frightening. The fact that Trumpski refuses to say a goddamned negative thing about Putin, Russia or white nationalists shows everyone what Trump and his Nazi followers really would like. There is no doubt in my mind that if given the go, Trumpski would have CNN reporters jailed and/or worse. Trumpski, in his sick twisted mentally ill mind, is truly a fascist who believes that opposition is the enemy and anyone who supports him, even if a murderous regime across the world, is his friend. This is what "economic anxiety" and plain old bigotry wroughts. A would be dictator increasingly isolated and becoming more influenced by bad actors daily. We are truly in a dangerous time.

The demonstrations popping up weekly to resist this crazy man's agenda is encouraging. The energy of thousands and thousands of people not willing to take the descent into fascism lightly makes me very happy sitting here doing nothing. The busted leg has kept me off the field and is killing me. Demonstrations against Betsy DeVos popped up here across the street from gutless Senator Deb Fischer's (Republican Clone-Ne) office. The Muslim ban is causing normally intent Americans to realize what this country stands for. Not fear and hatred but love and bravery. While a glob of fearful shit like Trump pushes fear, the rest of us push an inclusiveness that will inevitably win. Go ahead Trumpski, sign all the Executive Orders pushing people around you want, you aint gonna win you fucking miscreant. The genie is out of the bottle you tinhorn dictator wannabe. The Muslims arent going to shut up, the gays arent going back into the closet, the decent Americans who have a room temp IQ and a sense of fairness will fight you every step of the way. You're a footnote in history, Trumpski.

Oh yes, one last thing. This Land Is Your Land, the song. It should be the national anthem as far as I am concerned. Written by Woody Guthrie, perhaps the greatest folk artist ever, in 1940, it was a reaction to Guthrie's annoyance with hearing Kate Smith belt out God Bless America on the radio ad nauseum. Kind of like my annoyance with hearing that fucking Lee Greenwood song ever. But Woody Guthrie and his guitar, which featured the words "This Machine Kills Fascists" written on it, performed this song proudly. Two verses left out of the recordings are particularly telling and appropriate to that time and to this time. The verse that I have never heard goes as follows:

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me.
The sign was painted, said ‘Private Property.’
But on the backside, it didn’t say nothing.
This land was made for you and me.

Wow. Bravo, Woody!
