Scotus Pocus!

The fast track to confirm an unqualified Handmaiden to the Supreme Court before the upcoming bloodbath is well underway. Led by an unsettling determination to put a stuck in the past woman whose only job will be to overturn Roe V Wade, throw 20-30 million Americans off their health insurance plans, and retain white male supremacy for decades to come, this Senate Republican gang of evil will succeed. And then will go away to lucrative careers as lobbyists and paid whores to whatever evil cause they go to like a moth to a flame.

I dont give a shit about Amy Coney Barrett, or Amy Coathanger Barrett. She is their pawn, a baby making machine with a little girl voice who shall enforce religion onto a increasingly lucid America. Once this lost cause is over, 7 of 9 of these Justices will be Catholics , 5 of the 9 will have been appointed by Presidents who lost the popular vote and we are fucked. You think guys like Gorsuch, the folksy fascist who ruled once that a truck driver should have died in the cold rather than abandon his corporate owned vehicle and cost his employer money, are bad. Or you think guys like Kavs, a privileged Catholic prep school drunk, are unqualified. Or you think the continued presence of a bitter old sexual harasser like Thomas are bad. Or you think a slave to the 15th century like Alito are wrong, you aint seen nothing yet.

This Amy Coney Barrett is nothing but a paid off super spreader willing to do the white mans bidding as far as keeping them in control. In control of womens bodies, in control of overturning minority rights, in control of overturning voting rights, in control of protecting Citizens United, in control of stuffing the LBGTQ community back in the closet and making sure we all know who is in charge of this dying nation.

You see, shes an "originalist" when it comes to the Constitution. The 237 year old outdated document written by white males who protected slavery, protected male domination, put the slaves in their place, figured American Indians were nobody, and kept women in the home to do as they were told is as relevant now as the freaking butter churner. Oh there may be people who still churn butter by hand, but 99.9% of us buy it at the store and dont care what machine made it.

Barrett and the Federalist Society are all "originalists". Men and women who think what the Founding Fathers wrote down is somehow divinely inspired. Well of course they do. They are a bunch of old white men preserving their power. Enablers like Barrett, who shouldn't even be voting much less a fucking judge in their eyes, are a dream come true. Barrett and her ilk, like Clarence Thomas, are the Sonderkommandos of America. Cooperating with evil.

Good luck America. You should have voted for Hillary. Elections have consequences.

Mister Rogers And Mister Hyde!

 Donald Trump is a child. An attention seeking child. Because he refused to take part in a virtual debate with Joe Biden he was forced to do what he does best. Scream look at me and bullied NBC News into allowing him to have his own Town Hall opposite Sleepy Joe where he just knew he would crush him in the ratings and be able to boast about it. Ya know, the car wreck theory.

Sorry Crazy Uncle Donald . You lost. Biden crushed you in the ratings. 12 million to 10 million, much like Hillary crushed you but unfortunately for you, there's no antiquated system to save your dumb ass this time. Instead you tweet out a satirical site insisting Twitter shut down just to cause you trouble and help Joe Biden. Jesus Christ, only 18 days till the real danger starts.

All you got out of last nights Trump town hall if you watched was:

1) 85% of people who wear masks get Covid

2) Q Anon is against pedophilia and so is he so they're ok in his book and Antifa!

3) Some nutty woman, one of those "undecided" voters, told him how handsome he is when he smiles

4) He doesn't remember if he took a covid test the day of the first debate 

5) When he gets pissed, he tells uppity women they are "so cute"

6) Savannah Guthrie called him a "crazy uncle". I expected nothing from her. I was wrong

7) Because the unemployment rate isnt 42% he's a big success cuz he closed the China border

8) He's batshit crazy as usual

Meanwhile on ABC, President 46 was cool and collected and spoke to real people on a real people level like a real President usually does. Anyone watching Joe Biden act like "Mr Rodgers (sic)" and Trump acting like Mr. Hyde, gets it. 

Most of us dont give a flying fuck what Joe Biden does or says. We just want normal again. Crazy Uncle Donald and Normal Uncle Joe are the two guys at Thanksgiving in opposite corners of the room . Which one do you gravitate to? 

Say Uncle Joe whats up?

The Veep Debate!

 It was all about The Fly. I know. We've heard all the jokes about flies and shit and the fly being Pence's only black friend and the fly being tested for Covid. But what this debate was really about was a Trump clone with a oozing eye and a black woman introducing herself to America.

Look, Pence lied all night, went over his time, didn't answer any questions and showed a disdain for both women on that stage. Him mansplaining race relations to a black woman was particularly grating. Him lying about the utter failure of this putrid administration to protect Americans health was jaw dropping. His failure to actually state what we all know, that he would throw women in jail for having an abortion, was stunning. And the fact he and his Karen don't follow rules because they don't think they have to (check her maskless prune face at the end) is typical Trump enabler behavior. But that fly. 

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris was saying hi America, I'm the person who may take over if the 78 year old guy falters . Did she pass? Of course she did. The right wingers who hate women are scared shitless calling her names and a President called her a communist (hello 1955) and a monster. The Covid King is also scared to death. The moderates all say well she seems reasonable and smart. The lefties all say ehhhhh she's a prosecutor but these are tough times so whatever. Besides, we may need her when Barr and the Republican fascists try and steal the election which they are going to do . A tough in your face Prosecutor staring down a weasel like Bill Barr and telling him NO.

I wasnt a fan early in the primaries. She was no Liz Warren. She was fearless yes, but not Liz fearless. Then she was gone . But as time went on I realized Trump understands just one thing, a kick in the balls. She was willing and able. She aint afraid of no ghosts.

Kamala Harris won the debate last night. Sorry Trumpers, but lies arent the truth and spending 90 minutes lying like the true Christian he isn't, Pence did himself no favors. In fact he probably needs a Covid test like yesterday. He looked sick as hell. Think Trump cares if he infected his lap dog? Fuck no, he expects Pence to die for him if necessary. And Pence is enough of a spineless gutter snipe that he might. Then Karen could establish her Handmaids Tale Queendom. 

The debate didnt change one mind. It pissed off most women with any dignity when Pence interrupted and mansplained , and condescended to the moderator and the Senator, both women of accomplishment. Its like Pence was the first husband. The one they vowed never to return to. Women are saving this country in 26 days and Pence solidified it. As ugly as Trump is, Pence is more real, more of the terrible man that's been in every woman's life.

26 Days. And then another untold number of days of Republican fascists trying to steal the election by manipulating their appointed judges into ruling that 60 million is more than 70 million. And it may happen. This country s is changed forever. And not for the better.

Eddie Van Halen!

 The first time I heard that shredding guitar was back in 1978 when disco was ending and rock was still dead but for a few hangers on. I was a radio jock at the time playing college radio music that consisted of deep cuts and one hit wonders. A new single came in from some group named Van Halen and I put it on. Runnin With The Devil.. The guitar was phenomenal. The singer was phenomenal. The backing vocals were spot on. I was a fan.

Eddie Van Halen died yesterday after defying his lifestyle's inevitable end for years. The loss is devastating to us old rockers. While Van Halen survived 3 different lead singers (amazing) Eddie remained the reason they never faded away. That guitar whether it was Runnin With The Devil or Panama or Hot For Teacher or And the Cradle Will Rock or even the shredding he did for Beat It was never disappointing. The videos with Eddie's goofy grin, such a contrast to the preening schmoe David Lee Roth.

I am gonna miss that talent but we always have the songs. The songs! We have the songs!

Balcony Don!

 There he was. Gasping for air, Removing his mask. Such a manly man. Sick with a deadly virus but still doing his Mussolini impression. It was disgusting.

The man is a psycho. A Super Spreader willing to take everybody down with him in an effort to stay out of jail. The Filthbag in Chief , full of Covid and god knows what else, took off his mask and lumbered off into the White House to infect even more of his slaves  staffers. The fact is this nutjob is such a megalomaniac is a National Security threat as well as a threat to anybody in his circle. His adoring cultists, who he obviously doesnt care about (disgusting people) stand on corners bellowing they will die for this 300 lb lump of ooze. Those people are mentally gone, much like the remaining Germans who sort of enjoyed the smell of burning flesh.

Trump is done. He can suck up the oxygen and then make videos about how he's better now than 20 years ago all he wants. Whats coming soon enough (27 days) is the destruction of a mad regime of vandals and looters. The gravy train is coming to an end for these thieves and grifters. Their cult leader is months away from being in prison where he has belonged for 40 years.

That is, if he lives through this pandemic.

Knock Knock! Whos There? Covid! Come On In!

 When RBG died, Mitch McConnell popped a turtle boner so large his shell exploded. While Democrat and decent people mourned a legend, Republicans and vampire like conservatives began to plot how they could reverse RBG's life's work quicker than $99 overnight shipping from a Corporate delivery service. RBG's famous last words , per her granddaughter, were something along the lines of "my most fervent wish is that the lump of toxic goo in the White House and his traitorous collaborators wait till after they get crushed to let Joe Biden replace me".....or something like that. But because this President is a peasant and a narcissist Visigoth all in one, he quickly called the last words a fake news story and blamed Shifty Schiff or Cryin Chuck. Who ya gonna believe? RBG's granddaughter or the Pathological Liar in Chief?

So the Worst Showman In Chief couldn't just announce his choice to shit all over RBG's memory in the White House room he did with the last unqualified rube , it had to be an in your face outdoor ceremony with Republican collaborators in attendance squeezed together like a tube of toothpaste. It doesnt matter the nominee is a backwards thinking phony intent of pissing all over RBG's accomplishments by making America White Male Supremacist Again. What does matter is the horror movie next few days that the Screamer in Chief had.

His tax returns dropped showing he is as big of a deadbeat tax cheat as we all knew. He yelled for 90 minutes at whatever would listen during a debate making no sense, lying and spitting germs and deadly viruses at his opponent while his unmasked crime family looked on. Melania Trump tapes came to the forefront with her being as big an asshole as the rest of the mob family she married in to.

Then came Covid . After 6 months of denying science, denying reality, putting people at risk to boost his ego, and pushing quack cures like a common preacher, the Unmasked Moron in Chief got what he'd been asking for. Covid 19. Only problem was he wasnt the only one. The In Your Face Owning The Libs SCOTUS event was THE Super Spreader event of the year.  Lee, Kellyanne, Johnson, Jenkins, Thillis, Stepien, Melanie, Hicks, Christie and who knows who else got the bug. By dancing on the not even buried RBG's memory these arrogant pricks got what they thought their white privilege selves were immune to.  

Now I want the Clodhopper in Chief to fully recover. Fully. I want him to be able to go to the debates and holler at clouds again. I want him to get crushed on November 3rd. I want him to be indicted and I want him to go to prison. Like it should be intended by life.

This Clive Barker type craziness where RBG's spirit kills them all is tempting. But its not real,

Too fuckin bad these pompous money grubbers spent the last 6 months daring a virus to come and get me.

Next time you push forward an 18th century minded woman to own the libs, make sure she isn't a Typhoid Amy.

Sayers And Gibby!

 Hey I come from a the worlds biggest small town. Omaha. Back when I was a young un the pride of my hometown was virtually nobody. We were a quiet unassuming folk and went about our lives voting Republican and knowing everyone knew their place. This a segregated city to this day, however back in the 60s it was far worse. But man, did we have heroes who made it once they left the chains of Omaha.

Gale Sayers died two weeks ago after suffering from dementia for years. Sayers was from North Omaha and was a football star at Omaha Central. He spurned Nebraska because like now, they sucked, and went south to Kansas where he became an All American. I wish I could say I was old enough to remember Sayers running 99 yards for a TD against the Nebraska team he said no to in 1963. That record, of course, still stands to this day in Lincoln. 

Sayers went to my favorite NFL team, Da Bears, after his stellar career at KU and tghrilled everyone in my household. My Mom wasnt even a pro football fan yet tuned in every week the the Bears were on just to watch Gale Sayers run. He was unlike anything we'd ever seen. 18 inches of daylight. Watch that and remember it was 1965. Unreal even now. Sayers blew out his knee in 1969 and before the advent of  reconstructive surgeries, it ruined him. He remains the youngest man ever admitted to to the NFL Hall of Fame when in 1977 he was 34. 

God he was thrilling.

Bob Gibson was my jam. Baseball was my jam. And laying in bed at night and moving the dials of a transistor radio just so on good clear nights I could get the St Louis radio broadcast of any game Bob Gibson pitched. As you can tell from the picture, every pitch Gibby threw made it look all of his extremities were going to fly off. The mound and the plate were his ,goddamit ,and you better respect that or face the consequences.

Bob Gibson was mean as hell. He absolutely refused to lose, Im sure when he saw current players talking to the  opponent before games he was infuriated, Thats the enemy!

1968 made the baseball gurus CHANGE THE RULES because of Bob Gibson, He was 22-9 and had a 1.12 ERA. He had 13 shutouts. He was so utterly dominant they lowered the mound to give the hitters a chance. Incredible as 1.12 was, the stat that amazed me even more was 9 teams actually beat him. How?

Now hes gone too.

My childhood is becoming sadder.
