Okay, so today is Wednesday and for a change it is my hump day. With that being said, I have to ask "just what the hell is going on with the Jussie Smollet shit storm?" From what I can tell, the dismissal of the charges against him and the expunging of them from his record seem revolve totally around 'technicalities.' Something like: he wasn't going to get a fair trial because of all the information the Chicago police department released to the public. Let me think about this. Evidence was presented to a Grand Jury. They decided he should be indicted because of this evidence. Now the District Attorney's office & Jussie's attorney's have put their heads together and come to the conclusion a fair trial was no longer possible so they are... wiping the slate clean. Excuse me, but this is the same defense the Idiot Jerk in the White House is going to use once he finally gets indicted. So, will he get his slate wiped clean? If I were a producer, I would not hire Jussie Smollet. This kind of shit show is going to follow him for the rest of his life, from job, to job, to job.
So, let's move from that shit show to another shit show, the one revolving around the Idiot Jerk in the White House. You see he wanted a conservative Attorney General who was going to wipe the slate clean when Mueller released his report. The Republican Senate wanted this, too. This is exactly what William Barr did with the Obstruction of Justice charges. Feeling vindicated, the crazies on the right are going to attack everything they can in order to feed their base. They are going to try and kick the shit out of every dead horse they see. What they totally fail to realize is in the court of public opinion, nothing has changed. The only people who like him are... Republicans, and who are Republicans? Older white people, Crazy Christians, and white supremacists.
One thing they totally don't get is that they are a... minority group. There are more Democrats than Republicans, more open minded white people than narrow minded crazies. Keep in mind, however, that minority group will attempt to disenfranchise as many sane Americans as possible. If your skin is a little too dark... you're on their list. If you're a single mother... you're on their list. If you prefer a same sex relationship... you're on their list. If you believe freedom of religion is important... you're on their list. If you believe a woman has the right to choose... you're on their list. Believe me, their list is long. Do they care about human beings? Absolutely not. As I've said before, it's time we Americans teach them a lesson.

Similarities
It's Saturday... finally. I weighed myself and discovered I'd gained half a pound. Shit. I got up this morning with the intention of doing at least 40 minutes of cardio and ended up putzing around. No cardio. Shit.
The results of the Mueller investigation will most likely not make it to the Justice Department until the week of March 4... which is when the Idiot Jerk is planning on throwing a Beach Blanket Bingo party for Kim Ding Dong.
Oh, wait, neither of their names are in the credits... damn that Main Stream Media and their Fake Trailers. Everyone knows Frankie and DeeDee are just minor characters! He and Kim are the real stars of the show.
Back when Jussie began his little lie jive it occurred to me that there was a similarity with another celebrity from the days of yore who also tried to hide behind a melting fudgsicle. This morning I saw the LA Times also saw fit to make a comparison. Tawdry little tale, isn't it, the woeful history of Aimee Semple McPhearson? Many of the Crazy Christians bowing down to Aimee forgave her, to do otherwise meant they had placed their faith in a phony, that the words she was preaching were flawed, and that they had made a terrible mistake. They encapsulated their beliefs within a thick husk of denial.
The same thing is true today with the supporters of the Idiot Jerk in the White House. "How can he be so bad if he gives us what we want?" they cry, without understanding he is giving them what they want for a reason: praise... loyalty... fealty. They are a very selfish group. They care about only themselves, and their beliefs, and the more narrow minded those beliefs the happier they are. They are desperately trying to control how you channel your emotions and desires, your wants and your needs. They crave power. The Idiot Jerk in the White House will give them everything they want because he's a stupid, arrogant man. Little does he understand that by doing so, they usurp the power he, himself, so desperately craves. He is fulfilling their heart's desire. So desperate is he to be re-elected, he will do whatever they want. This clown is anything but a genius.
Oh, and I see the Idiot Jerk nominated another perky bottled blond to be Ambassador to the United Nations. Shit! I wonder if she let him grab her pussy.

Stability, or lack thereof
Well, we had snow... about 6 inches up here in Enola, and we had ice, too. The branches have crystallized, all glittery in the lamp light. The only thing keeping it from being a Hallmark moment is the absence of "B" actors fawning all over each other in a "G" rated game of touchy-feely. That, and the fact it's slick as hell. Good thing temp is going to hit the 40's (F) today.
Can we talk about things that warm the cockles of every Conservative's heart? I'm sure this lit a toasty, little fire in their bosoms. This guy wanted to kill Democrats and News people, among others. Of course, you do know he is not alone. There is more than one of him out there, and all of them support the Idiot Jerk in the White House. He encourages them. They, just like him, despise criticism. They want to be thought of as special, as chosen. Rather than focus on the needs of others, they prefer self-specialization... in other words, they are very selfish. Just like the Idiot Jerk in the White House. Whether they understand or not, he has become their face... and he's pretty damn ugly. He tells them who to hate, and they hate. He bellows "the New York Times is an enemy of the state," and they agree. What fucking state is he talking about? North Carolina?
Oh, I forgot, since he only gets his briefings from Fox News, he may not know, but North Carolina is already screwed. Wait, I have to correct myself, it's not the state that's screwed, it's the Republican Party. Can we talk about voter fraud? If you want, you can watch a clip of Mark Harris crying in the back of the courtroom as his son testifies against him. Harris was warned and do you know what he told himself? "I don't have tow worry. I'm special. This is for the good of all conservatives." Now that his ass is in the fire, you can bet he's going to apologize and ask forgiveness. Will he learn anything? Absolutely not. He's a Conservative. He's Special. He believes he's been Chosen. If he hasn't already done so, you can bet his white pastor will tell him "It's for the good of the party."
And Jussie has been arrested. Things to keep in mind, a lot of people jumped on board the Jussie Bandwagon because he provided them with the ugly truth about racism, when in actuality he was providing them with the ugly truth about mental illness. Does he hate white people so much he felt compelled to create an ugly incident in order to vilify them? Or are his neural transmitters consistently misfiring to such a degree his actions seemed rational... to him? The truth is we may never precisely know. Of one thing we can be certain, he was not spurred into action, like the Coast Guard Lieutenant who wanted to kill Democrats, my a morally degenerate president spewing hatred. Jussie's problem is personal. I do not think he was terrified the Idiot Jerk in the White House might be impeached.

And now, for a commercial break
Today is the first of 3 days off in a row for me. You could say I am pleasantly happy.
The Oscars are on tonight... (sorry, next week). I'll watch. I go to a lot of movies. There is no host, which should make the ceremony interesting. The Academy tried to shorten the show by announcing certain awards were to be given out during commercial breaks. After a lot of loud complaining, that's not going to happen. So, what makes the show run long? Here are 3 suggestions they should consider if they want to shorten the run time:
#3. Don't seat nominees at the back of the auditorium. When 4 people win for Best Documentary, they wait in the aisle until everyone is out of the row. Then together, they all walk down to the stage (nobody runs at the Oscars).
#2. Eliminate the long acceptance speeches. Winners feel the need to thank everybody. Unfortunately for them, nobody cares who helped them on their long, struggling path to success. Sometimes they ramble on.. and on... and on. Remember McConaughey? He won for a film whose title is pretty much forgotten by just about everybody. His career was going nowhere before the win, and since has been approaching the death spiral zone.
#1. Cut the commercials since they take up the most amount of time. The Academy has decided they don't want to financially break even with the telecast, they want to make money. This means there's an award followed by 3 minutes of commercials. There are 24 awards and there are commercial breaks after 23 of them. Someone introduces a film clip from a nominated film... and then there's a commercial break. We hear a nominated song... and there's a commercial break. When you have over 72 minutes of commercial breaks in a broadcast scheduled to run 3 hours, you have a problem. The fact that they even considered giving awards out during commercial breaks is one of the definitions of failure. People watch to see the awards, not 25 minutes celebrating the wonderment of Samsung. What do I do during those aggravating mini-intermissions? Usually taking a leak, or getting another glass of wine, or both.
Finally, I'm going to touch briefly on the Jussie Smollet problem, and it is a problem. If you read this blog, you know I sat silent while everybody was jumping aboard the Jussie train. I'm the cynic, remember? Personally, I thought the whole thing sounded sketchy right from the beginning: a black celebrity, walking alone on a secluded street in the early morning hours gets attacked by white racists. These things do happen, and they are ugly, and people get killed. If the police are correct and this thing was staged, Jussie Smollet is a terrible man who took advantage of the sympathy of millions of human beings.
