I don’t feel like writing. I could do a fisk of Krugman’s latest, but Krugman has degenerated into self parody. The fisks write themselves just like my fisks of Molly Ivins did when she was still alive. So, I’ll post sumpin’ Ron sent me last week which is why there is one dated reference in it. Ron Writes:

Many Democrats I’ve known were generally nice people who took care of their homes, their kids, their pets, and made fairly good neighbors. The problem is that they often had the common sense of turnips, the logic of cannabis, and the memory of shag-hickory bark.

Most of them would readily offer to help you clean out your gutters by holding the ladder while you climbed up to do the work, but somehow they’d manage to break the front-room picture window in the process and then try to focus the blame on your dog.

Several of my cousins, all in their 50s or 60s by now, are Democrats who I’m confident voted for The Magic Negro at least once, and probably twice. I wouldn’t trust some of them to get me a bucket of chicken at The Colonel’s, much less choose which political candidate would be best at fixing our economy and restoring our reputation. I’m guessing 90% of ‘em voted for HRC.

Great numbers of liberals actually wanted to elect a socialist as PotUS during HRC’s stunningly inept run for the job. Of course nearly all of them wound up voting not for her but against DJT once Bernie’s “free-shit” novelty finally wore off. The point is, tho, that they genuinely believe socialism is a great system despite its catastrophic failures in Cuba, Venezuela, Greece, and other countries.

North Korea, Zimbabwe, East Germany, the USSR, and all of the Warsaw Pact nations.

Of course the Republicans aren’t really much better. They’d love to help you clean out your gutters, but it’s hard for them because of their bursitis, or their gout, and besides, it might make miss their tee time. And doing up their lesson plans for their “How To Lose An Election” seminars takes a lotta time.

Philosophically, I’m a libertarian, one of those weirdos who wants to scale back central government and get repressive rules and ridiculous regs out of people’s faces so they can start businesses and create jobs and still make enough profit to be able to pay their taxes. I have no interest whatever in the stock market and genuinely believe it’s overdue for another resounding crash.

But the Libertarians ran a weed-smoking jerk as their candidate who was nearly as far out as the ones set up by the Communists and the Greens. So we wound up with a free-roaming felon, a Barnum & Bailey exhibitionist, a pothead, and a flibbertigibbet. That ain’t no way to run a wannabe superpower.

I’m gonna go with P.J. O’Rourke on our two-party system: “The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.”

Trump will encounter speed bumps every single day of his tenure from die-hard whiner Dems who will spend every effort and gazillions of taxpayer dollars to prove that he was unfit from the start for the job. They’ll attack several of his cabinet nominees peremptorily and block every piece of legislation they possibly can, hoping to regain enough seats in the next mid-term to impeach him.

Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, and a host of other nuisance nations will test him on his foreign policy as well as his courage in keeping his campaign promises. China already has, calling him out for responding to a congrats call from Taiwan and then stealing the sea drone. And Soetoro will not be gracious, as he has been head-faking to be; he will snipe and sandbag wherever he can to discredit his successor, eventually coming up with the supreme arrogance – “Miss me yet?”

He’s already announced that every country on the planet has more respect for the US today than when he took office. But that just means he’s delusional, and we knew that already, so I’ll just continue killing the sound when he comes on my TV and pay no attention to what he says except when it comes up for discussion on Bret Baier or in O’Reilly’s talking points memo on line.

Mooch has already indicated that she doesn’t intend to go away gracefully, confiding in the Negro News Network (Oprah) that we are entering a period of utter hopelessness after the shining promise of her mate’s attempts to resurrect Camelot, all of which were sabotaged at every turn by a hostile media in general and FoxNews in particular.

And HRC will continue to blame everyone, including Huma and Podesta, for her fatally flawed campaign – except herself, of course. DJT says he has no intention of appointing a special prosecutor to look into her campaign funding irregularities or “Foundation” fund abuse. But we can only hope that DOJ will continue to investigate her finances, if not her treachery.

DJT is having a blast right now, hogging the spotlight, thanking voters, re-echoing his “make America great again” and “build a wall” chants. I’m assuming that the electors will do their duty next Monday and certify their states’ votes so that Hollyweird can grab a cup of STFU and The Don can get down to work with his consiglieris and Luca Brasis.

I just hope we don’t find ourselves catching nuke-tipped javelins from Putin and/or Jinping. Don’t think we will, ‘cause if that happens, everybody knows that the ultimate winners will be Muslims, and who the hell wants that, except for Saudi Arabia and Iran.
