We Are Screwed

 

Full disclosure ! I really don't like politicians.  They are all dishonest, liars, power hungry, and rarely care for the complete good and well being of the American people. With that being said, I can't even laugh at the above picture that has circulated around the media this past week. Every leader of every single country had to have been laughing at the man who is President of the US.  I have to take exception.  I want the President of our country to do the best possible job he or she could for the sake of not only me, but everyone else living here legally. Tripping 3 times climbing up a flight of stairs is definitely a problem, or much worse. If President Trump had done the same thing, all hell would have broken out and the 25th amentment would have been put in play within hours. I only mention that, because my dislike for politicians is only closely trailing to my hate for fake news.

 Politicians don't just fall out of the sky, or at least I don't think so.  They are legally elected by the good people of our country. Whoops, I think I just said something that is no longer true. Politicians are elected by people, regardless of them being legal and registered to vote.  But even that appears to be changing. Some states are trying to have voters go to the polls, or by mail, and vote without registering, or without being a citizen of this great country, or possibly even being alive.  This scares the shit out of me and it should for you as well.  It's a simple matter that requires very little use of one's brains to see what is happening.  It's call economics 101. You just can't put 10 pounds of shit into a 5 pound bag.  It just doesn't work. I am not here to teach school or to make predictions about what will happen as a result of this.  I am merely here to rant and put a little question into the back of your brain.  How can you keep paying out monies for welfare, medical, aid, education, stimulus, and whatever without monies coming in to pay for these perks ?  So, where is this money coming from ???????? It's going to come from you and me. Period, end of subject.

I am sorry.....I am so sorry.....I am so very sorry......I am sorry for anything offensive I might have said to anyone over these past 50 or 60 years. I am sorry for anything I might have thought of saying during this same period. I am sorry for any offensive joke, jester, sign, look, movement, touch, eye contact, or anything else related to that.  I am sorry for anything I might have done or said during any act of sex I might have had with anyone during this time period as well.  I now realize that I should have asked permission for anything I might have done to you during these sexual encounters. I just didn't think of it during those few passionate moments. Please forgive me.  I am sorry for all black, brown, asian, white, Italian, greek, spanish, jewish, irish, polish, english, puerto rican, french, german, gay, lesbian, trans,  etc. I am sorry if I offended anyone while I was a boy scout.  I am also truly sorry if I offended anyone while serving in the US Army.  I am particularly sure I made some funny and uncalled for remarks during that period. I am also very sorry for any customer, vendor, co-worker, airline attendant, or anyone connected with my business for the over 25 years I ran it.  But mostly, I am sorry for those assholes that cave to this ridiculous cancel culture shit. These big companies should be ashamed of themselves....There .......rant finished.

From there, simply enter an email address.  You will then have the supreme pleasure of reading my rants, whenever I am pissed off enough to share these with you...

                           

 

 

 

Political Ads

I don't know about you, but I have had it with political ads on TV.  I doubt very much if I will last til November without killing my television.  I am so tired of all the bullshit, lies, stories, promises, and more crap coming out of each and every politician.

Who comes up with this shit ? Who is that smart to twist and change the meaning of anything and everything so that we don't ever know what the real position of any candidate really is ? They are wonderful at circumventing the truth. I am also convinced these same writers are employed by Saturday Night Live, and most late night shows.  Comedy is alive and well and living inside political speeches and political debates.

The news stations are sort of like Comedy Central in their coverage of all of this.  Oh wait, did I really say coverage ?  Is that what it is being called today ?

I don't remember all this bullshit and negative ad campaigning during the Eisenhower years, or Truman, or Reagan.  I seem to remember people sticking to this little thing called "Facts".
Oh well, all good things have to come to an end.

I do, however, give lots of credit to those wonderful speech writers and creators of some of these great political ads. I already said this, but it is worth repeating, especially because these people are geniuses.

OK, so maybe there was a little mud slinging during the Reagan campaign.

But the bottom line is one little word.   "Lie".    They all do it one way or another.  Maybe not a complete and total 100% Lie, but certainly enough to change the meaning of anything said.
I just know that I can't take much more of it.   Something is definitely wrong when we no longer vote for who we think is the best possible candidate, but vote for the least annoying candidate.

If your like me and all this political bullshit bothers you, there is something you can do. The problem is that I have no fucking clue as to what that something is.  Just take solace in the fact that November will soon be here and it will all be over. Hopefully.

Primary Day Election

Ah, the joys of voting for one person during today's primary election in the state of Florida. One would think this is a simple task with only ONE person to pick. Not such a difficult task and something that should not take more than 30 seconds.  But alas......nothing is as simple as it seems.

     Simply walking into the polling place, I knew I was in trouble. After all, I live in a very small community and it is never crowded during any election. But today seems to have been special. There were a few ladies behind the table who had the extremely difficult job of looking up a persons name and getting some kind of proof to make sure this is the correct person. Certainly sounds like an easy task to me.

     I walked in very calm and stood in front of a nice old lady. Actually, every single lady there seemed nice even though the average age probably was 85.  After several minutes she looked up at me and I told her my name. Having a simple last name is sometimes a problem in situations like this, because she had to look through several others to find my first name.  That was difficult for her. I handed her my drivers license that has my picture and signature like every other drivers license does in the world.   Now remember, these are trained people in this highly skilled profession of working one day every year or so.  Not only are they trained, but the Board of Elections pays them on an average of $200 for the day....Not Bad.

     She looked at my license and my signature on the card that I just signed for at least ten minutes before looking up and asking me if this is my signature.  I showed her my license again next to the signature and looked her straight in the face and said, " Well maybe this really isn't me".  I think I scared this poor old lady because she immediately sent me to the machine, where I cast my vote in 12 seconds.........My only question is........Why is everything so fucking difficult in life these days ?
