A few thoughts for the day…

Here we are. Day 100 of COVID-19 lockdown…give or take. Over 100,000 dead and growing. Suddenly no one cares. All eyes and screens are on day 8 of protests and riots, police brutality, primed by the racist killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis’ Finest. It’s also 1231 days since Donald Jerkoff Trump began destroying the government and suspending civil rights wherever it suits him. Unfortunately, Trump still matters. Making things worse is his specialty, sowing polarity and divisions between us, he has now pushed us too far, to where most of us now stand together. Together, against Trump. Against the corruption and self-serving ego driven lust for power that defines him and his revolving door goon squad.

Everything he stands for is SHIT, a fraudulent copy of the real thing that is NOTHING resembling reality. His lies and ignorance are tearing the country apart, even as they tear down our institutions of justice and government. Our very republic is in jeopardy. Our democracy is being held hostage by the lies of a dictator who thinks nothing of using our troops to threaten the rights of American citizens, but was too big a pussy to serve in the ranks himself. Too good for the armed forces, he got Daddy to pay for a doctor’s note out of Vietnam for ‘bone spurs’.

Such a Loser. I just puked in my mouth a little. But hey it’s just 152 days until we get to vote him out. Assuming we have an election. Assuming he leaves after he loses. Assuming a LOT. Meanwhile, Moscow Mitch is helping him stack the courts against liberal judges and thwart any attempt at actual social justice, as the wholly corrupt GOP clings to the Senate and Presidency, both of which are surely in play this November…no matter what bullshit you hear on TV.

You know, Trump is not wrong about some things. He’s also not right about ANYTHING. But there’s a grain of truth in his “fake news” accusations. He’s blind to the same at Fox and Friends, but ALL the networks are fucking complicit. CNN and MSNBC are almost as much a part of the problem. PPP ‘Pure Political Propaganda’ networks Fox News and OAN maybe a bit worse, but almost every bit of news we get on TV, in print, or on the Web is twisted by spin doctors looking to maximize viewers and ad revenue, rather than providing accurate reports of the actual news, the unbiased Truth, without spin. No fluff. No peacocking it to sell ad time.

You gotta search hard for true journalists. True journalism. Like Edward R Murrow. Walter Cronkite. If you can find them at all.

If it’s not facts in evidence, it isn’t news. I really don’t care what you ‘think it means’ because I can think myself. Unless you KNOW what it means, STFU. Just show the pictures and describe what you see. That’s the job.

The day I see 24 hour, Ad-Free, unbiased fact based news reporting, I will stop bitching. Until then, all you 3 Letter Networks get your shit together and stop fanning the fucking fires of division, and maybe I’ll stop using 4 Letter words about you. ~jg

CNN reporters covering Minnesota riots arrested live on-air

I truly don’t understand what the fuck the MPD was thinking, arresting a CNN reporter, with valid ID, while broadcasting LIVE ON THE AIR. It’s clearly a First Amendment violation to arrest journalists who are fully cooperating while covering the protests. Given the track record of Minneapolis’ Finest with people of color, should we assume some racism here? Yup. That or Trumpian cops who want to punish ‘fake news CNN’?
Both maybe.

One Family, Out Of 88,000 – News & Guts Media

Mr. Trump wants us to think of them as numbers. Acceptable losses.
But these are PEOPLE. GOOD people, who didn’t ask for this suffering. Almost 90,000 American families are mourning the loss of loved ones, cherished humans. But our President doesn’t understand, empathize, or give a fuck. They are just bad numbers he doesn’t like.
Because for Donald Jerkoff Trump, it’s all about convincing you he’s doing a good job. As our friends, family and neighbors are taken away in body bags and unemployment is soaring, he’s leveraging PPE and Federal relief funding, playing state Governors against each other for political advantage.
Why? Because he doesn’t care about anyone, unless it benefits Trump & Associates. It’s not a win unless profits are made and/or favors are owed him. The Donald is not president of America, just the repulsive Don of the corporate interests he colludes with, and the 27% of the population that might vote for him again in November, most of them out of fear.
I’ve seen a bunch of corruption in the Oval office in my 50+ years as a thinking human. LBJ and the Vietnam war. The Nixon coverup. Iraq lies of Bush and Son and the whole Afghanistan mess they got us into. Reagan’s puppeteers, as he slept through much of his second term. The Clinton machine and the lives it destroyed.
A LOT of shit has gone down in the last half century. But never in my lifetime have we had a president with so little compassion for Americans and so much disdain for the rule of law, The Constitution…and common fucking decency. So little empathy, so much ego. And so easy to read…sometimes I wonder why ANYONE believes his cons. Is everyone blind, or just corrupt as fuck and complicit? Or just afraid? Trump lives on fear, and if you’re voting for him, he’s probably preying on yours.

Symbolism behind Space Force flag revealed as Trump touts ‘super duper missile’

He stole the fucking Star Fleet insignia for his stupid renaming of some US Air Force squadrons as “Space Force”. I see a law suit coming. Well, hopefully I mean, because this shit ain’t right.

Stephen Colbert points out Trump took swifter action to protect U.S. meat supply than human lives

Today, the death toll from #CoronaVirus in 2020 passed the number of Americans who died during the entire Vietnam conflict. Of course, President Trump still thinks he’s doing a GOOD job handling the crisis. Meanwhile, his ineptitude is glaring, only eclipsed by the obvious void of leadership from POTUS, as testing rollout is repeatedly botched, and STILL inadequate compared to most of the world.

To almost no one’s surprise, back in the Oval Office, it’s always someone else’s fault, right Donnie-Boy?

Except it isn’t, because when you are President, it is YOUR JOB to be responsible for the WHOLE country and ALL of the American People. I’d say, that with more than 1 million infected and over 58,000 dead, YOU sir are failing, and failing BIGLY.

Please stop sowing division and puking out political propaganda for ONE damn minute and get your shit together, dumbass. We’ve already lost much more than we needed, and YOU continually make things worse.
