Haters Suck

Okay, not a brilliant title, but does it need to be?  Really, "haters gonna hate," and all that crap.  But you get your range of whiney babies to full on violent criminals in such a broad stroke.  That's a LOT of negative energy.

Specifically, those that really suck are hate-groups - the bigots of the world who just exude negative energy toward people who scare them.  And, yeah, haters hate because they're little chicken shits, who can't pull their shit together, and gotta blame someone else (invariably the wrong people) for the failings of their petty little lives.

Suck it up and keep moving.  Did Jesus whine about gay people when he carried the cross to Calvary?  Nope. He sucked it up and did His duty.  Did He bitch and moan about dark-skinned people picking on Him while he was up on the cross?  Nope.  He sucked it up and did His duty.

Haters gonna hate, but they still suck rocks.

I want a bumper sticker

Saw a "Trump/Pence" bumper sticker on a battered old pickup truck, and realized I want a bumper sticker that says "Don't cry to me about your butthurt; I voted Blue."

The GOP is going to keep abortion LEGAL

Listen up you anti-abortionist chuckleheads, because you're all naive idiots.

No, Im not even talking about the part where outlawing abortion won't solve a single fucking problem you seem to have some daft hope it will, and it will actually create numerous more problems that anyone really and honestly pro-life is already aware of and accepts as fact instead of pretending isn't a problem

I'm talking about the fact that your boys won't ever make abortion illegal.

I'll spell it out really slowly, not that it will help, because you've already stuck your fingers in your ears and I can hear you chanting "lalalalalalalala."

The Supreme Court has been dominated by conservatives for 45 years - including the most conservative skew in living memory under John Roberts and - wait for it - ABORTION IS STILL HERE.  What does that tell you? Oh, wait, you're deaf to reality calling, so never mind, I'll talk to the reasonable people in the room.

Ask yourself, how many right-wing political tools would you really have voted for if they hadn't promised you they'd make abortion illegal again (yes, we've tried the illegal thing, we already know all the things wrong with it)? I've had several people straight up tell me that was their deciding factor for voting for racist, elitist, incompetent businessman conman Trump.

So, you think the GOP - or any right-wing demagogue tool is ever going to give up that cash cow vote machine of abortion? If you really think so, then you're hopelessly naive and divorced from reality.

Abortion is here to stay, chuckles, because it's such a useful way to lead you around by that cattle ring in your nose.

You're conservative, not stupid

I'm fed up with the farcical narrative of the modern Democrats being KKK, which is as stupid as the legend of Lincoln being conflated with modern Republicans. Only an idiot would think Lincoln - who freed the slaves - would be part of the racist GOP today.

Nixon flipped the racists to the GOP as part of a power struggle. And yes three politicians flipped. This isn't rocket science, it's a garbage narrative right-wing fools tell themselves so they can feel like the good guys when they're not.

And let's talk about the deceased Senator Byrd who left the KKK in 1952 and spent 57 years opposing them so much the NAACP honored him in 2010.

But, you know, fact checking is hard.

And, it's so easy to confuse six decades ago with six months ago

Trump spent the last six years hate-baiting white supremacists. And calling for race-based intimidation at the polling places.

So, yes, the President-elect is directly responsible for the race-based hate crimes going on right now.

Further proof is that those who commit the crimes say they have been empowered by their Great White Savior.

Interesting how those who have felt their loss of privilege, confused by inability to adapt, started spewing hatred years ago, and now say it isn't their fault that they are hateful petty violence-living assholes. Funny thing their concept of "personal responsibility."

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

May the troubles of the world stand still for one day, and may you have time to enjoy friends and family.

Electiongeddon2016 - calls for transparency

A FEW MORE CRITICAL PHONE CALLS for Today .

- CALL Senator Lindsey Graham's office at (202) 224-5972, push 2 if you get the recording. Tell the staff member "I support Senator Graham's investigation into Russia's participation in the election of Donald Trump." [SERIOUSLY, this is important]
(I'm working on verifying this one.)

- CALL the House Oversight Committee (202-225-5074) FIRST THING to support the call for a bipartisan review of Trump's financials and apparent conflicts of interest. It takes two minutes, and the woman on the phone said that they are absolutely tallying calls - the more they get, the more likely the Committee is to demand ALL of Trump’s financial information. Time is running out on this one - it will come up immediately after Thanksgiving Break!
(I'm working on verifying this one.)

- CALL Paul Ryan's office express your concern about Trump's business conflicts of interest, his appointments of racists to his cabinet, voter fraud and Trump repealing Obamacare call (202) 225-3031.
(I'm working on verifying this one.)

And a Bonus Action: The Department of Justice is tallying phone calls regarding those who want the 2016 Vote Audited. A shift of just 55,000 Trump votes to Hillary in PA, MI & WI is all that separates the two candidates. They are starting to recognize there really is something off about the election results as they come in. Considering everything that is at stake, a vote audit should be done. Call the DOJ at 202-353-1555 and tell them you want the votes audited. Even if it's busy, keep calling. It takes a few times to get through because of all the calls being made.

#Electiongeddon2016 - because government is too important to be left to politicians

Giuliani - history's cruel joke

No reasonable historian will ever call former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani a good man, let alone a great man.

He should have been relegated to the dustbin of obscurity except for a fluke of timing (or a last concession from God, maybe) that meant he was still mayor and able to bring his 20 years of experience to bear when New York most needed someone who knew the city well. But, "9/11" gave the incompetent boor a new life he was unworthy of - and not up to the requirements of - and proceeded to demonstrate that every time he opened his mouth.

Still, and pathetic as Giuliani was and has been - and even if it is justified karma - it is always tragic and heartbreaking to watch someone publicly and high profile lose his mind.
