The gloves are off…

That’s it.  I’ve had enough.

It was unreasonable to assume I would last even this long.  So whatever few Republican readers I’ve had up till now, time to say goodbye.  No need for any of you to read beyond this line, really.

It was originally my intention to keep this blog light, and free of incident, politically or otherwise.  I’ve realized that is no longer who I am able to be.  When I wrote my book two years ago it was before this administration.  Before this daily dose of slop.

And with all of the disgusting things that have transpired in the past year and four months, what was the straw that broke the camel’s back?  White House staffer Kelly Sadler’s statement that John McCain’s recent statements “shouldn’t count” because he’s dying.  I wish I could report that was a misprint.  I wish I could report that the past 16 months were a misprint.  I can’t even describe someone as, “soulless” because I don’t believe in souls, but, really?

Anyway, shouldn’t a person’s words just before their death have the most meaning, and not the opposite?  Isn’t that when they are at their most truthful?  The fact that John McCain has requested the current president not be at his funeral is all I needed to hear.

I haven’t always agreed with John McCain, but I sure as hell have always respected him (despite the entire Palin debacle).  He would have made an honorable Republican President.  He is a decent man, a war hero, and exemplifies true American qualities.  I wish I could say the same for the steaming heap of garbage that currently occupies the Oval Office.  And with that statement, all due apologies to steaming heaps of garbage everywhere.

Ever since President Barack Obama left the White House it has been like this for me, and for millions of Americans.  Wake up every morning and start your day, by having for breakfast, the food that you dislike the most.  Every day.  You are forced to eat it.  You have no choice.  It’s not going to kill you, but every day you start your day with the worst taste in your mouth.  And no amount of brushing or gargling will eliminate it.  And then you try to go on with the rest of your day.

Hard to imagine that I long for the days of George W Bush and Dick Cheyney.  Sure, one had no brain and the other had no heart but…they were more like cartoon characters than raging lunatics.

The people I pity the most are those who are deeply religious that voted for Trump.  These are the people who believe in Jesus Christ, in his teachings.  Who believe there is an afterlife and that one day they will stand before God.  And believe that when they do, they will have an answer ready when asked how they voted for such a man.  The over and under for stammers in that answer is 27.  I’ll take the over.

If there is an afterlife I may very well be taking the elevator down rather than up, but one thing I am certain of…I won’t have to have an answer for that question.

I’ll save a seat on the hot sofa for some of you…

Tomorrow is the, “Demand the Ban” event in Philadelphia to help raise awareness for the need of better gun control laws.  Rain or Shine!  Hope to see you there.  Delco United is a great entity and they need your support!
