LIBERALS GET YOUR GUNS

Anything you can say
I can spin my way
I can spin anything
And wreck your day

No you can’t
Yes I can
Please do not
Kiss my butt
Well it’s wrong, it is wrong, it is wrong!

You promote fear and hate
In every Red State
How long can we wait?
Till your guy is ‘great?’

He is now
Really HOW?
Can’t you tell?
From his smell?
He is great, he is great, he is great!

The fact we’re in a lurch is
Proof we must close churches
Get off your high perches
And don't touch our churches

Come on folks
There’s danger here
A Liberal hoax
That much is clear!

Where is that test
And the vaccine you promised
Don’t be a pest
Or you’ll our guy pissed

He’s a child
Now I’m riled
He’s a fool
You’re a tool
He must go
WE SAY NO!
Dump him quick
You are sick!
Yes of him, sick of him, sick of him!

DOES dt DESERVE TEMPORARY IMMUNITY?

Sorry Jay but the answer is no.

I realize you are an attorney and must defend your client no matter who or what it is but:


The people who died as a result of the delay in responding to the Covid pandemic got no temporary immunity.


The thousands who are dying due to its administration's incredibly inept handling of the response to the virus outbreak are getting no temporary immunity.


The children who died in cages at our nation’s border due to its xenophobia got no temporary immunity.


The seniors dying of fright over the thought of losing their retirement funds when dt and mcconnell steal them for the 1%ers get no temporary immunity.


The families who have lost loved ones due to the inability to get testing or lifesaving ventilators as a result of its hoarding for itself and Red States only get no temporary immunity.


The farmers going bankrupt and losing the family farms they’ve owned for decades due to its ego driven tariff war with Jina get no temporary immunity.


The small business owners and their employees who are hurting and going hungry while it sends all the relief money to the wealthiest undeserving businesses in America get no temporary immunity.


The women and children it raped and even now get insulted and shamed due to its ongoing misogyny get no temporary immunity.


The African Americans and minority men and women who are being murdered by its white supremacist and Nazi mobs due to its stoking the fires of hate and fear get no temporary immunity.


The reporters who must cover its every disgusting move while being insulted racially and otherwise get no temporary immunity.


The scientists, doctors and non-partisan officials who have worked selflessly their entire lives in government regardless of what political party was in control and now get fired due to its “only I can do it” attitude get no temporary immunity.


So, for the above reasons and so many more, Jay, no this filthy criminal gets no temporary immunity or immunity of any kind and must face the music for the crimes he has committed, continues to commit and undoubtedly will commit in the future!

But then you knew all the above when you took on its cause so stop complaining.

THE ETERNAL TUG OF WAR

In trying times like this money causes the age old tug of war between those that have and those that have less, WAY less!

When we rail at the wealthy for not paying their fair share of taxes are WE being fair?

When they use every possible loophole their high-priced accountants and lawyers can find to get out of paying taxes should it bother us?

What we must realize is that inmost cases the wealthy did not get their wealth by giving it away, at least not willingly.

Their hoard mentality is a form of sickness and fear that they too could end up like the rest of humanity, begging for a raise or healthcare or eventually even some food! “Please sir, I want some more.”

Not every needy child will end up as lucky as Oliver Twist so without twisting reality what should we expect?

When Republican President Eisenhower ruled with a top tax rate of 91% the country thrived!  The wealthy may have grumbled but they sure did not go hungry!

And what of the wealthiest who not only do not pay taxes but hide what they do pay and lie when asked for the facts? I think we all know of whom I speak, uh, write!

This rant is being fed by an article I noticed in my local newspaper, Newsday.

The current Covid-19 pandemic, which has been made even worse by the incredibly inept resident of the White House and his Republican choir boys, has caused tremendous pain on Long Island and elsewhere around the country.

Layoffs, firings, business closings or bankruptcy have made it necessary for limited and immediate special aid for those who no longer have paychecks. Many of these former workers live paycheck to paycheck with very little in their rainy-day savings accounts.

As it turns out the aid can amount to a bit more than the workers were earning when they worked which is angering their former employers. They fear the recipients will not want to come back to work at their reduced salaries since they are getting the “handout.”

What these greedy unfeeling, uncaring dolts refuse to mention is that the aid is temporary and meant as a life-line to get them through this unprecedented period.

And if they really cared about the workers they laid off perhaps they would prove it by extending them a fair wage once things returned to normal.

And when I say normal I mean the new normal, since there is no way we will return to the way they were before Covid-19.

There is a push to make the minimum wage on Long Island $15 per hour but many have been paid less with waiters and others who rely on tips to get them through the week getting even less. Naturally it is always a fight between worker and employer as to what is a fair and reasonable price to pay for services rendered. And just as naturally the employer holds most of the cards if not all the money.

As an aside how many know that many employers feel it to be a crime for employees to discuss their salaries? That person could be fired for ‘cause.’ Most employers are not too fond of unions for similar reasons.  “Wait, you want safe and comfortable working conditions as well as a raise?”

Government worries that mandates forcing employers to pay higher wages would hurt our overall economy.

This could be true in the short term but if more citizens were paid enough to be able to save for a rainy day when clouds appeared, they wouldn’t drown in debt. And with more cash in the bank, banks would prosper and be able to loan money to help others and themselves.

Taxes are an obligation and the Nation’s life blood.

A healthy economy needs all citizens to be fair and play by the rules.

Because we are all in this together, and it takes money to run a country.

When the wealthy hoard the rest can’t afford.

TELESCOPE VS MICROSCOPE

Covid-19 has telescoped the predicted loss of many businesses and jobs due to the likes of Amazon and the internet in general from 3 to 5 years down to 3 to 5 weeks.

Lifesaving social distancing rules have made business as usual nearly impossible if not at least worrisome.

Some smart entrepreneurs have filled the gap offering delivery services from grocers as well as other questionably necessary services such as liquor stores.

But there is no reason we should give up every vice as long as we can practice the behavior responsibly.

But Covid-19 has once again placed our country’s response to disaster under a microscope and as with many things it loses much of it’s beauty when viewed too closely.

For example, how many of us noticed when the current administration quietly shut down our Nation’s pandemic response department and fired or reassigned the doctors and scientists therein?

Placing that irresponsible decision under the microscope now is at the very least absurd.

What was the purpose of ending our insurance policy against a possible and sadly likely pandemic?

Did it save the Federal government a few dollars?

Are we talking about the same Federal government that routinely funds the building of unnecessary and outdated fighter jets and wildly increases the military’s budget against the Pentagon’s and Joint Chiefs of Staff’s wishes?

In the case of the Pandemic response team it was ended because the current President hates the former President, who opened the office, so much he is willing to allow the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans just to remove one of his accomplishments.

This vindictive, childish, and dangerous behavior has hastened or telescoped the death of more Americans than the number that died during the entire Viet Nam War!

And while many of us are sitting home with too much time on our hands we owe it to America and ourselves to put our entire government under the microscope.

What is it doing right and what is it doing wrong?

Is the response to the current pandemic being handled well or is the ball being dropped?

Is there something we should be doing to get ready for the next disaster?

I do not have all the answers but then I was not elected by the people to have them!

Clearly, we should elect leaders who care enough about public service to seek out the answers and implement them for the good of all Americans, not just the wealthiest.

We need to strengthen the working and middle classes of the country and see to it they survive and thrive.

Without a good foundation even the most opulent of homes will eventually crumble!

There is nothing we can do to get back those we have lost due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but don’t we owe it to them to stem the tide going forward and prepare ourselves for future tragedies?

We had better get our telescopes trained on that future or we will not have one!

NEW YORK: LOVE IT & LEAVE IT ALONE!

Conservative Bret Stephens makes a valid point when he complains that if New York were its own country and therefore not counted in America's disaster, the rest of America would only have death toll numbers akin to those of Germany. Therefore why should the entire country have to abide by the same lock-down rules as the Big Apple? Yeah, who the hell does NY think it is? Of course New York is not telling the rest of the country how to handle the dt enabled crisis. It is doing what it has to in order to keep it's citizens safe. But Mr. Stephens may be correct about reactions from other States so let's not stop there. For once in 200 or so years how about allowing New York the extra added benefit of NOT supporting so-called Red States such as Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana with its tax dollars? For decades there has been silly talk about New York City becoming its own State or perhaps the entire Empire State leaving the Union. Maybe it's time for that. Like it or not Mr. Stephens, Blue States like New York, California and others have always led the nation in creativity and frankly intelligence as well as health and innovation. You might not like the arts but Blue State culture allows it to thrive and in normal times draws billions of tourists and tourism dollars. So we must be doing something right! And our citizens share our wealth with Red States every April 15th (or July in strange times.) So yes, don't follow our lead, we never asked you to. But don't tell me or any human with half a brain that it's okay to open up businesses such as massage parlors during a deadly and contagious outbreak such as Covid-19. And by the way while your at it please explain to another member of your tribe that the virus is NOT the 19th version of Corona Virus but rather the one that was discovered in 2019! And don't tell me that it's okay for the supposed leader and flag bearer of your movement to stand behind the Nation's 'bully pulpit' spouting such absurd ideas as injecting disinfectant into our lungs to cure the viral infection. (Although death will in fact cure it for the individuals stupid enough to do so.) And what could possibly go wrong allowing wrestling to reopen or crowded casinos with thousands of one armed bandits to chip in? Our economy is hurting but thinning the herd is not the best solution to lowering the cost of healthcare or getting more tax dollars into the hands of the wealthiest of the land! New York and New Yorkers hope the rest of the country survives and thrives and we all live long and prosper while not suffering too many more deaths as a result of covid-19 in the future. But if your citizens will not at least practice social distancing and insist on getting tattoos or holding rallies in support of an idiot in the White House who thinks the virus is a Democratic hoax intended to make him look bad then please keep out of our State!

DOES THE GOP CARE? YES, BUT ABOUT WHAT??

For the most part Repubs in Congress, and in offices around the country, are not stupid or ignorant.
While that should make us happy it most assuredly does not!
Because it means that all the things they have done and are doing are calculated and cause regular Americans pain and suffering.

With that in mind let's try to figure out what motivates them.
Why do they refuse to act in the best interest of, well, humans!
Why do they line up behind the worst President ever in the history of the United States of America?

Clearly they knew what dt was before he was installed in office by a huge minority of voters but they welcomed him with open arms and wallets.

It has been said when a person tells you what they are, BELIEVE THEM!

So why does it appear they did not?
THEY CHOSE NOT TO.
AND HERE IS WHY!

The most obvious reason they held their noses is the miscarriage of justice that put Putin's useful idiot in office allowed McConnell and his crime family operatives to pack America's court system with the least qualified right wing young judges they could find.

And with the puppet judges in place the end game is clearly in sight!
That is the repeal of Roe v Wade.

The GOP is so dead set against allowing abortion as a choice that it's almost laughable, especially since many of them have had to have their girlfriends and prostitutes get them.

The other important item on the 'anti-American citizen' agenda of the GOP is the removal of all safety nets for the middle class such as Social Security and Medicare.

These so-called entitlement programs aimed at helping hundreds of millions of American citizens survive their later years has been a thorn in the side of the GOP ever since the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
And it costs money that can best be used by the GOP to feater the nests of the incredibly wealthy of the land who in turn send back huge bribes to keep the status quo and to grow it!

Most of us need those programs since there is no way we can close or even slow down the wealth gap promoted and accelerated by Repubs in power.

But now humans of America and the World face an even more deadly enemy than the self centered egoists of the Repub Party, namely the Corona virus.

Some scientists and doctors posit that the disease could end up killing millions of people around the World.

Other countries are working feverishly to stem the tide, but not America!
We have dt at the helm of a ship of fools unlike any ever seen before.

He is the least informed resident of DC and all around him know it but refuse to act!

He spews lies every chance he gets and is far more worried that the numbers of people infected and dying will reflect badly in him and his administration.

This in turn will harm his reelection chances.

And if he is not reelected he will face numerous charges in the courts including and not the least of which should be treason!
And knowing how this lowest of the low creature loves to throw others under the bus you can bet many in DC are worried about the facts that will come out in his trials!

But if we are to survive UNTIL the election it is becoming more and more evident that his removal from office NOW is imperative!

The same Mitch McConnell who has benefited to the point of millions of dollars in bribes while doing nothing for the American citizen could in one fell swoop save our lives by merely having his puppets in the Senate agree to invoke and follow through with the 25th amendment to the U S Constitution and dumping dt on his ass!

(By the way, look into McConnell's record for yourself. And take special care to note how many bi-partisan bills he refuses to allow onto the Senate floor for discussion, let alone a vote!)

And while I realize invoking the 25th amendment will place an equally inept Repub in the office in mike pence he will hopefully only occupy it until November 3rd.

Short of doing that it will be up to the voters who are still alive in November to remove McConnell and the entire repugnant Repub Party from existence in America.

OUR LIVES DEPEND ON EVERYONE VOTING FOR EVERY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE ON EVERY TICKET IN AMERICA!

WE MUST DO THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE THE GOP WILL NOT!

THERE'S NO BULLSHIT LIKE dt BULLSHIT

The west wing advisors, the liars, the clown

The hangers on who take but never give

The Senate and Fox news that dumb fans way down

And make it hard for them to even live

The taxes that they take from every paycheck

That leaves your life a miserable sad wreck

There’s no bullshit

Like trump bullshit

He owns the GOP

Even when your votes show you are winning

Notice how the other side’s still gay

That’s because behind the scenes they’re spinning

To stop your ‘winning’

And get their way

There’s no liars

Like Repub liars

They just do it for sport

Yesterday they told you it’s a Dem hoax

Nothing to see here so move along

But the truth is every hour more folks

Are listed as croaks

So they were wrong

There’s no Lobby

Like Big Lobby

They bribe to get their way

Even when our futures sang a bright song

Voiced by children, women and each man

Then Corona virus made the song wrong

And then before long

Shit hit the fan

There’s no business

Like dt business

He cheats lies and he steals

His tax return would prove that he is not worth 'Jack'

But of his lies we see there's no lack

Stealing money from us all he won't give back

He goes on with the show

Our votes can tell him NO!

(VOTE BLUE NOVEMBER 3, 2020.

SEND THIS GRIFTER AND HIS POLITICAL PARTY PACKING!)

THE dt HIT PARADE MARCHES ON!

With every step the traitorous bastard in the White House takes or makes America geos further down the toilet!
The following is but a few of the things this bastard has done to kill the America we all love & respect:

Tariffs on China costing Americans hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Stealing money from social programs to build a useless border wall.

Defunding every governmental agency meant to keep Americans safe.

Condoning attacks on individual citizens and calling them out by name!

Interfering in the American justice system at every turn.

Opening up our treasured National parks for oil drilling and mining.

Removing consumer protections in favor of large corporations.

Making fortunes for self and family by breaking emoluments law.

Firing life long loyal government employees for not kissing his ring and ass.

Defunding the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and firing it’s doctors.

Committing treason & claiming it was ‘perfect!’

Lying nearly every time it opens it’s mouth.

Handing the least worthy of America, our billionaires, more tax breaks.

Planning to pay for the tax breaks by ending Social Security & Medicare.

Stealing from charities.

Pardoning his convicted criminal friends and threatening judges.

Giving a hate filled turd the Medal of Freedom!

And throughout it all and more being given cover and championed by the entire Repub Party!
