Current Events

As I write this the insane cackling from the Capitol building indicates that the GOP has finally knifed the baby, uh, I mean, allowed extended subsidies for the Affordable Care Act to expire. (Miracles could happen, though)

The Republican Party knows this a major mistake on their part and it will surely cost them a landslide loss in the 2026 mid-terms... unless America is tits deep in a Venezuelan quagmire, which is entirely possible considering the rotting pumpkin passing for a brain resting atop Trump's flabby neckgina.

Why did the GOP do this to themselves? Kool-Aid poisoning. They were smelling blood after the election and thought all America would embrace Trump's shit-for-brains, crack-pot, Heritage Disease ideas.

After the BBB was passed conservative voters went "Whaaaaaaaaaaat?" and the GOP went "Oh, shit!", but rescinding their stupid, unforced error would make Trump mad, because Trump never loses <eye-roll>. So, yes,people are going to start dying because of Trump's ego.

-----------------

Republican Congressmen are retiring one after the other because the party's only hope in 2026 is to replace the current band of drooling idiots with blood on their hands for new drooling idiots with clean hands... if that's possible with these people.

Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, let slip that she thinks her mango-headed boss has an "alcoholic personality".

I didn't know it until she said that but, yeah, my dad had an alcoholic personality, too. His manifested itself by being a friendly used-car salesman by day, when he was usually sober, but was a mean, wife-battering drunk when he'd quaffed a snootfull of Pearl Beers. When intoxicated he was a mindless, mad bull of a man, ready to fight anyone and anything that got in his path.

This is one of the reasons I don't drink. At all.

Trump is a mean, mindless son-of-a-bitch while, one assumes, being perfectly sober. Between the two, I'd pick Dad every time to run this country.

(I could tell many colorful stories about dear old Dad but none of them would end with "And then he hugged me and sent me to bed. I awoke the next day a wiser person than I was before.")
