The news cycle has suddenly blasted off from Jeff Bezos’s West Texas launch pad to remake the Blue Biden ticket into…eh, the “who’s running now?” ticket. I’d planned a post for today bashing the claim from that “f*&^ing moron” that God had saved him at that Pennsylvania rally, simply because possibly there still might be some otherwise logical people who believe in supernatural manifestations of good vs. evil. Most of those people should know that if supernatural beings are involved, it’s the Devil who was protecting Narcissus le Grand, not God. But neither the Devil nor God can keep up with the news cycle either! And frankly, the only hells that exist are created here on Earth by scurrilous human beings…recently on the political scene, those are mostly fascists like Donald Jackass Trump, here and abroad.
My father had a low opinion of most politicians; his nicest words about them were that they were “failed lawyers,” which many of them are, of course. (I’d add cheating business people and sexual perverts to include the Donald.) If you can’t do anything worthwhile, become a politician and get paid for it! You could create a dictionary of English swear words with what else my father used to call politicians. (My mother could add a few in low German. Most of my father’s ancestors were Irish immigrants; my mother’s German. They fled Kansas during the Depression to seek their fortunes in California. Despite the Depression, those were better and simpler times because people and politicians were more honest.)
In fact, my parents would be shocked now at how low some politicians have sunk, sometimes to overt criminal behavior or close to it. Dems have their Menendez. And they might not honor Biden nor respect his endorsement of Harris. (They could also do both the latter, of course—right now, they’re behaving.) Their machinations are no surprise as those scheming party bosses, pundits, and donors adjust to the new situation. They went through this before with LBJ, after all, although not so late in the election cycle (seven months before the election for LBJ compared to only 107 days for Biden). They lost the election that followed, which is not a good omen.
Of course, Kamala Harris, old Joe’s presumptive replacement as the Dems’ nominee, has a lot of baggage, maybe a lot more than old Joe even with all his years; she’s a politician, after all. In fact, she’s a very crafty politician and ex-prosecutor who will eat the FPA’s wannabe Il Duce alive on the debate stage and probably on the campaign trail. (Remember how she went after old Joe in that 2020 debate! She’s a killer, and just what Narcissus le Grand deserves!) Who knows if she’ll get beyond mere endorsements to the nomination? (Setting a new one-day funding record is a good sign.) Her political past provides attack points for the fascist MAGA minions’ fuehrer and his sycophants, and they won’t dare openly attack her for being a woman of mixed race. (In secret, who knows?)
But Donald Jackass Trump’s sins are far worse than Kamala Harris’s: He’s a convicted pervert and crooked businessman as well as a murderer, in addition to being a fascist “f&^%ing moron.” Yes, he’s gotten away with murder (the January 6, 2021 insurrection attempt) that also almost destroyed Congress and nearly killed his VP. The Devil protects him, though, so may God help Kamala!
The Republicans, better known in my posts here as the FPA (“Fascist Party of America”), what they’ve become, not surprisingly, have their own Menendez, a worse one, in Trump. The FPA also has a worse history than the Dems in being devious if predatory vultures when coming to terms with a failing president. A majority of GOP thugs (some are still around because they’re as old or older than their doddering old candidate) hid paranoid Nixon’s drinking himself into oblivion with only a few of them joining Dems to run Tricky Dicky out of town. Another bunch of GOP thugs were even worse, letting B-Movie-Star Reagan, besotted by Alzheimer’s disease in his last few years as president, remain a figurehead as others ran the country. (At least Reagan wasn’t a nasty paranoid drunk like Nixon, so he’d just fall asleep in cabinet meetings. Yeah, I know: They’re probably damn boring. Most policy meetings have to be – they’re run by politicians!) In any case, the Dems got plenty of lessons from the GOP, the FPA’s predecessor, on how to hide a president’s old-age infirmities and energy deficits from the American public.
Now FPA leaders, their noses still stinking brown from their FNC (you should know what the F means by now), including the lead fascist in the US House, Speaker Johnson, have no shame in continuing their attacks on old Joe and telling him to resign immediately. Hey assholes, he’s leaving in January! What the hell are you going to do? Impeach him for being old? Use that article in the Constitution to declare him incompetent? Oh the shame! Oh the hypocrisy!
Perhaps the FPA’s complete hypocrisy in calling for old Joe’s immediate resignation is just a continuation of their current anti-elderly bias they trotted out long ago and still use to attack old Joe. They don’t seem to mind losing a lot of elderly voters with their continued threats to destroy Medicare and Social Security, not to mention younger people who are using Obamacare to finally get some health insurance despite the FPA’s attacks. Their bias against women is well known too, which should be a positive for reshaping Kamala into a successful Dems’ candidate: An Asian-American Black woman who’s been championing women’s rights will make J. Done-Nothing Vance look like a nasty old white fascist who’s completely irrelevant. (He can also go back and correct all the contradictions in his Hillbilly Elegy…he’ll need a few years!) Continuing their anti-female and anti-elderly crusade could be the kiss of electoral death for the FPA because they are the ones with no female on the ticket and now have the oldest presidential candidate in US history, most likely on his way to suffering from Alzheimer’s as well, just like Reagan.
The fascist followers of Narcissus le Grand are the rats running wild in Washington DC right now as they try to leave the sinking ship of the USS Trump. Hopefully they’ll all drown as they leave that ship captained by the incompetent Donald Jackass Trump, the worst president the US has ever had. But maybe some of them will make shore and have to struggle to live in the garbage dumps of history where they all belong.
