It's the 18th of June and in just 2 days we'll be hitting Summer Solstice. After that we begin our slow slide into the doldrums of winter. I looked at the calendar and thought "Holy Crap! where has the time gone!" Of course, we're not legally into summer yet, so I probably shouldn't be complaining.
Criticism is mounting on the Republican governors of Arizona, Florida, and Texas as their infections rates soar. In fact, it's climbing in all of the Sunbelt states. No one should be surprised to find out this is the land of MAGA heads, those people with springs for necks. Oklahoma is one of those states. The Mayor of Tulsa says it's an honor to host the first Mega Spread of Covid 19. I wonder if people have started leaving yet. That's what they did up in New York, tried to move somewhere safe. Of course, these governors and mayors listened to the Idiot Jerk in the White House without understanding he is the Destructor of their political party.
And what about John Bolton's book? Personally, I'd have picked a better title. "The Room Where It Happened," comes across as a little too pretentious, I think. "Shit that Happened" is much more apropos. The reviews I'm seeing say this tome is rather droll reading, except for the juicy bits, the ones causing the Republican Party to do flaming back flips. Most of us have known for some time that the Idiot Jerk loves his dictators and gives them preferential treatment. He gives them favors, the way a suitor does to a romantic interest. For the Idiot Jerk, it's all 'tit for tat.' He doesn't mind scratching the back of a Kim Jung Dumb if Kimmy cools it on the nuclear holocaust threats. Remember, the Idiot Jerk said Kimmy was a good guy who had to make some difficult decisions when he was younger. Of course, Kimmy now realizes the Idiot Jerk was just full of shit, a used car dealer who offered him a Cadillac and then sold him a Corvair.
In case you're wondering, the only way I'll buy the book is if it comes out in Cliff Notes.
There are some Democrats who are upset that Bolton didn't testify during the impeachment process... true, these revelations would have been jaw dropping. Even so, the Republican held Senate was never going to convict the Idiot Jerk, a man of their own ilk party. His book coming out 4.5 months out from the election is going to have far more repercussions. And there are more revelations on the way. My money says the Idiot Jerk is not saying ouchy! ouchy! Nope, I think he's far past that stage. In fact, I'm fairly certain he's past the boiling hot lava stage. I can't even imagine the hate he's going to spew this Saturday in Tulsa, and every word coming out of his mouth is going to stab him in the back.
the national guard has been called out to "protect" tulsa this weekend.
ReplyDeleteShit, the Idiot jerk's bad Karma is working overtime.
DeleteIt'll be interesting to see Tulsa's covid statistics in 10 days time won't it!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see what kind of protests show up.
DeleteYour post made me smile. And "Shit that Happened" is a perfect title. He is going down!! Finally!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Republican circus gets more and more absurd every day.
DeleteLet's be clear, Bolton refused to testify because if he'd spilled all his secrets in a hearing he'd have made less coins on the book.
ReplyDeleteBolton is an ass who stood by while all this happened and now he's butt hurt and will sing like a canary.
I'm glad he's singing, don't get me wrong, but he gets no points for being a co-conspirator.
I agree completely, he's a rabid Hawk, but the entertainment value is unprecedented.
DeleteAll these infections in the south will just spread back into the states that shutdown responsible. We need to shut down the state borders like the Indians shut down the reservations.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. Keep them damn Republicans where they belong.
DeleteAnd with those states sinking (or spiking) still the Devil's Butler pubished an OpEd in which he assured the trumpanzees that there won't be a 'second wave'. There'll be in for a surprise. It won't be New York catastrophe-style spike but those pockets in Red states are gonna spike. And Tulsa is going to be one of them.
ReplyDeleteBolton didn't testify because he wanted the money. Cheeto is suing his traitorous ass. It's all so preposterous... I hope the leak the whole book. I'll wait for the juicier details to leak. I hope Uncle Joe uses full quotes from the book in his ads...
XOXO
While they thought it might be Arizona or Texas, now it looks like Florida is going to explode... and all those seniors are out for blood.
