Random thoughts Friday, Volume LXXVI

  • Whoever takes the VP nomination for the GOP in 2024 does so understanding that his Party supports the right of the President to call for his assassination at any time.   
  • Not to be overly dramatic, but I believe we are on the precipice of seeing human rights be rolled back by a group of activist judges who are determined to impose their archaic morals on all their subjects.  If Clarence Thomas et all have their way, we’ll have “separate but equal” facilities again for a variety of traits.
  • Trump frequently throwing dishes might be why they only feed him food in paper boxes.
  • Biden’s done a lot in office so far–from massive job creation to an actual infrastructure deal to the Covid relief package.  But the two that will have a lasting, historic impact are the expansion of NATO to include Sweden and Finland, and the appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson.

  • “They can march to the Capitol from here,” Trump said when demanding Secret Service remove metal detectors and allow armed people into his rally.  “They’re not here to hurt me,” he said as well, demonstrating that he knew the crowd was armed and planning to go to the Capitol before he spoke at the Elipse rally, so it wasn’t a spontaneous march as he claimed.
  • First question for any Republican court nominee on any level–county, state, or federal–must be:  “Do you and your spouse enjoy oral sex?”  When they balk at answering the question, reply, “A conservative justice on the Supreme Court wants the courts to readdress the decision that allowed couples to engage in consensual sexual activities in the privacy of their own homes, so your activities in the bedroom are our business, nominee, because you want to make it so.”  
  • Second question:  “Have you or a sexual partner ever used birth control?  Oh, you object on privacy grounds?  That no longer applies due to the conservative Supreme Court.”  Third question:  “Have you or any sexual partner ever had an abortion?  And at what week of gestation?”  Force them to say, “It’s none of your business” or answer a humiliating question to show they value their privacy.
  • Cassidy Hutchinson is the new Fawn Hall, but smarter and with a brighter future.
  • I’m calling it:  DONALD TRUMP’S POLITICAL CAREER IS DEAD.  If he runs in 2024, he’ll finish third or fourth in the primary. He’ll lose to Ron DeSantis and the likes of Kristi Noem and/or  Nikki Haley.  The hearings are the beginning of the end of Trump’s political influence in the GOP.  After the midterms, he’s done.
  • I wonder if impeaching Donald Trump a third time, with the new evidence uncovered by the House Select Committee, would be practical.  Establishment GOP wants to keep him from running, and the hearings are giving them an “out” to vote to convict in the Senate.
  • Silly me thought people would get more civil after Rush Limbaugh died.
  • Funny how the self-proclaimed moral conservatives who don’t like abortion or LGBTQ marriage are silent about the sins of gambling.  It’s like their morals fluctuate based on campaign contributions.  
  • Just imagine how much spare china the staff has a Mar-a-Lago.  Actually, that’s wrong:  Trump would never show such disrespect for his own property.  He would only do that to things he doesn’t own, like divas do.
  • Language suggestions:  change “Conservatives on the Supreme Court” to “five Republican-backed activist judges.”  Continue to say “contraception,” but sprinkle in “family planning” regularly to denote service in helping mothers plan pregnancies. 
  • Airlines are having a problem staffing flights this July 4th weekend because they were unprepared for the volume of travelers in the US, so instead of watching ticket sales over the past weeks and thinking, “Maybe we ought to staff up,” they’re going to make thousands of travelers miss their holiday plans.
  • Someone needs to create a universal streaming app that can help you track your shows and broadcast networks over various services.  Think of it as a universal remote for the digital age:  one central location where you can see what streaming shows dropped new episodes and where you are with your binge viewing.
  • Best places to watch fireworks:  A ballpark.  A waterfront, be it a river, lake or ocean.  Worst place:  your couch as your neighbor sets off the box of shit he got at the North Carolina border.
  • Since we’ll be eating a lot during the continuing hearings:  Butter is the king of all popcorn toppings, and with or without salt, it still stands above all else.  A good alternative is Old Bay or Phillips Seafood seasoning.  Cajun seasoning works, too.  The best I ever had, though, was white truffle oil and grated parmesan.  (Thank you to the Chef with the Butter Tattoo who introduce it to me.)  Keep “powdered butter” away from my kernels.  
  • Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.  Enjoy the long holiday weekend, during which the nation can celebrate independence from a despotic oligarch who subjected people to laws that he didn’t feel applied to him.  Oh, and we got our Independence from the British, nearly a quarter millennium ago.  And please, be safe and stay away from lit fireworks.
