Ron on.
So I’m sittin there eatin grits ‘n’ ham with orange juice and a hunk of butter bread checkin out local news and weather when this very enchanting young woman comes on to tell me that Al Franken has apologized to anyone he “might” have inappropriately touched or verbally offended. Her tone more or less implied that his apology makes it all nicey-nice and puts an end to the issue.
HFS! Franken’s “apology” is so vague and nebulous in its deliberately ambiguous duck-dodge-and-evade generalities he may as well have been referring to sneezing at a Notre Dame football game.
Of course then Conyers . .. . Pelosi first defended him as a “national icon” who has done “marvelous things for women’s rights,” but then later she fumbled on that end run and said she was “disappointed” by his behavior. So . . . what does THAT mean, Nan?
Next it was another in the interminable comments about HRC and her “it wasn’t my fault” book-peddling tour. Jeeeez, talk about a set of useless skills. Franken is a career failed entertainer, Clinton is a career failed prevaricator, and Conyers is a career failed demonstrator.
Congress. Quoting Roman Moroni, that famous Swedish expatriate, “Fargin Iceholes!” When a political figure in D.C. says he is “reflecting” on the behavior several women have called him out on, it simply means that he’s going to keep quiet for a while until someone else gets accused of a different abuse of power and takes the heat off him.
I mean, getting salaries and benefits equating to more than a quarter of a million dollars a year for sitting in Congress harrumphing, blathering, and resisting is very much like hanging out in the ‘hood having babies to get more food stamps and welfare checks, rappin’, and claiming racism.
Did see, tho, that Keith Olberdork – speaking of useless skills – is “retiring from political commentary in all media venues.” He stated that “the nightmare presidency of Donald John Trump will end prematurely and end soon, [so] this is the correct moment to end this series of commentaries.”
No, Keith, it’s just that all 7 of your readers and listeners finally wandered off in search of colorized re-runs of I Dream of Lucy. Pelosi is the Duchess of Deterioration, Conyers is the Earl of Exhibitionism, and Olbermann is the Duke of Dork. Clinton is, among other things, the Queen of Quibble. Imagine, after all the ink she’s spilled explaining her loss and why everyone’s against her, what her suicide note would be like . . . at least 200 pages, I reckon.
And all of them are rabidly anti-Trump. I mean, the never-Trumpers seem irretrievably convinced that he wants to re-institute slavery, repeal the 19th Amendment, and kill all gays, lesbians, and trannies. Apparently they believe he’s a Muslim.
If the Leftistas backpedal any faster on this “sexual misconduct” fracas, I’m afraid their chain will fly off the sprocket and slap them sillier than they already are. Most members of Congress want to politically kick somebody else’s ass on the other side of the aisle but would find themselves very busy if they went back 25 years and ran into their own selves.
Slick got the ball rolling with his sexual antics in the Oval Office and then officially lying about it. He, along with LBJ and Nixon, took us from a respected and reliable Norman Rockwell America to a licentious and litigious Larry Flint America.
Ron off.
You left out JFK and the fake Camelot.
Ron on.
Obama, of course, then updated the socialist playbook and doubled the debt, destroyed the military, devalued the dollar, decimated small business, and set racial relations back half a century. And the left STILL doesn’t understand that socialism is a lot like nude beaches – sounds really exciting ‘til you actually see one up close.
The only thing we have to fear in this country today is the Left with its Stop Trump! Save the Swamp! mantra. First they flim to the left, then they flam to the other left. Their game plan for the future is to extend adolescence from 18 to 28, spend 7 years in college, work toward a completely worthless degree, accumulate huge debt and wait for forgiveness on it, live with Mom, blame society, play victim, find safe spaces, vote Democrat.
Megalopolis “progressives” are astonished that flyover yokels can’t accept their own inferiority and recognize the apparent genius of liberals’ feelings. They fervently believe in the cradle-to-grave entitlement paradigm preached by Sandersistas.
In a recent study of US college students it was found that only about 50% of them believe in free speech while the other 50% believe that government should pay for it. Well, here’s the lowdown on Marxism, guys:
Never ran a company
Never held political office
Never managed any accounts
Never held a job, ANY job
Depended his entire adult life on Engles, son of a wealthy factory owner
Yet somehow is considered by many to be the greatest social, political, and economic philosopher in history.
But for some reason, every application of his theories has ended in failure . . . because the “right people” haven’t been in charge.
Right now, tho, it appears that the Dems’ frontrunner for 2020 is Bernie with his rich, congested mind and his rumpled old-man suit and his 19-forgotten ideas.
Ron off.
Ron, you got it right by callin’ it Larry Flint America.
