Post #1,092: Random Observations

With Megan Cullen and Jill Degan a few years ago

The following are a few unconnected observations regarding our national trainwreck. Any similarities to any persons, living or dead, are purely intentional.

1. Herschel Walker:

"It’s possible that Herschel Walker is the worst candidate the modern Republican party has ever run for national office, and in an era of conspiracy theorists, Christian nationalists and Donald Trump, that’s saying a lot."

From The Guardian

It's ironic (although hardly surprising) that I was thinking the same thing about two hours before I read the article quoted above. In my life, I have encountered inarticulate twelve-year-olds who possessed better grammatical skills than Herschal Walker. The guy makes George W. Bush and Donald Trump sound as if they're reciting Shakespeare. He's a textbook example of how badly the Grand Old Party has lowered the bar in recent years with respect to what passes for qualified statesmen and women. His opponent, Senator Raphael Warnock is so superior to him that the race appears to be a contest between Abraham Lincoln and Bobo the Simpleminded. At this moment, Warnock is ahead of Walker by a mere two percentage points. This is astounding to me. It should be a landslide. It won't be. If Walker winds up representing the people of Georgia come January, something is terribly wrong.

AFTERTHOUGHT, 11/1/2022:

In the sixteen and-a-half years that I've been writing this thing, this is the first time that I haven't the time nor the energy to complete a post. The truth is, i have lost the inclination to bring this thing to a conclusion. Sorry about that, folks. My health is not what it once was. Give me a week or so to get my act together.

"I have a black friend so I can't be racist."

Walker is just the brainless tool to do the dirty work for white greedheads and bigots.

Bernie notes: "While the price of a bag of Snickers has more than doubled, Republicans want to give the Mars family, who became 44% richer during the pandemic and are now worth $106 billion, a tax break of up to $42 billion by repealing the estate tax. Yes. Trickle down economics is very scary."

It's what they are. They don't give a damn about most of us.

ATLANTA (The Borowitz Report)—Stating that he was tiring of the media’s “ ‘gotcha’ questions,” Herschel Walker said that it was unfair to expect a man to remember “every single abortion” that he has ever paid for.

“Everywhere I go, people say, ‘Did you pay for this abortion, did you pay for that abortion?’ ” the Republican Senate candidate told supporters. “How are you supposed to remember every single abortion? This is why people no longer trust the media.”

The suspect in the attack of Paul Pelosi has been confirmed to be a 42-year-old right-wing extremist who spread 2020 election conspiracy theories, COVID disinformation, and hatred of the Jan 6 committee.

This radical Right hate and madness will only get worse.

Elon Musk's Twitter takeover sparked a surge in the use of the N-word on the social media platform. A social media research group told The Washington Post the use of the slur increased by nearly 500%.

Every time Nancy leaves town, Paul gets hammered.

Reporter Caught on Hot Mic Confirming Media (and Dave) Not Telling Truth About Pelosi Attack (Video)

Paul Pelosi, the husband of Nancy Pelosi, was hospitalized after being attacked in his home (the House Speaker was not there) by a man reported to be a former Castro nudist and hemp jewelry maker named David Depape. That doesn’t sound very “MAGA” but the lib media (and Dave) will no doubt try and make the attacker into a Trump fan one way or another.

There’s something really weird about this Paul Pelosi attack story. Nothing is adding up. But one thing we do know is that the so-called “intruder” is some hippy-dippy dude from Berkeley who sells hemp bracelets and used to belong to a nudist colony. So, they’ll be really hard-pressed to blame this on a Trump supporter. (But not for Dave)

1-Cops weren’t called for a break-in but were there to check
2-PP and the guy were fighting for the hammer
3-Assault didn’t happen until cops got there
4-Guy found with his underwear
5-Called the attacker a friend on the police dispatch
6-And now this reporter asking if it’s okay to report something…

The dispatch official then said that Pelosi informed 911 that he did not know who the attacker was but gave his name and then explained that “he is a friend.”
Police audio of SFPD’s ‘welfare check’ call about Paul Pelosi says that he called “David” a “friend” who seemed “confused.”

Sounds like a MAGA guy to me, how about you? Is it true that DePape was an illegal alien from Canada?

The nitwits and nutbags that the GQP are running for Congress,the Senate and in the states actually reveal what the Republicans think about the Democrats. They hate the Dems so bad, that they're willing to run these truly disqusting dirtbags as opposed to pulling the lever for a Dem.
Truly the party of HATE and a very twisted view of Christianity.

 
At 6:00 PM, Blogger Dave Dubya said...

PappyZ,
The radical Right is defined by their lies and hate. They revel in the cruelty and suffering inflicted on those they hate.

Anonymous racist Vern likes to quiz me on what it means to be Christian. It's nothing like what he is. He is a living mockery of his Savior's words.

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." – John 15:12

MATTHEW 25:34-40
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"


Vern is everything but this. "I never knew you", is meant for people like him.

Vern takes open delight in the suffering of Brittney Grinder and Paul Pelosi, just as he does for everyone who isn't a Republican.


Just don't call White Nationalist Christians Nazis. They hate that. They are NAT-Cs.

Who is the GD liar Dave? Why you are.

"Absolutely no evidence:’ Police, FBI affidavit debunk salacious(WTF are you babbling about?) conspiracy about Pelosi attack pushed by conservatives" just what are you talking about Dave, got links? Oh I see, you're quoting CNN, LOL.

Join me in congratulating Brittney Grinder for being over 200 days drug free. Except crazy Dave, he isn't happy that she's drug free. Like the typical liberal he doesn't want people to get better. He wants them to be dependent on BIG Government. Gives him a reason to lie and spew his hate towards anyone not his skin color or his liberalism.

You are pathetic Dave, you're a lying perfect rectum. I'll check back with on your insanity here after the election...can't wait to see what lies and insanity you will have TRUMPED up by then.

How many times will Joe Biden lie about his son dying in Iraq? So far, he’s done it twice in the last month. His son, Beau Biden, died at Walter Reed hospital of brain cancer in 2015. He served in Iraq but the addled occupant of the Oval Office either doesn’t remember or continues to tell the same lie.

Here’s his latest version from earlier today:

“They talk about inflation .. inflation is a worldwide problem right now because of a war in Iraq… excuse me, the war in Ukraine. I’m thinking about Iraq because that’s where my son died.”

Joe Biden is lying again about reducing the deficit. He claimed today that he’s cut the deficit in half and got uppity about it.

Here’s the video:

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) November 1, 2022

It’s all lies.

Even CNN, earlier this year, completely debunked this garbage from Biden. They say in the video that Biden actually made the deficit higher, and that the only reason it came down was because of expired pandemic spending:

At 5:14 PM, Blogger Dave Dubya said...

Vern is deflecting from the fact Republicans are guilty of raising the deficit, to give the rich tax cuts. What did Jesus say about serving mammon?

What kind of "Christian" mocks a father's loss of a son? He believes the burn pits in Iraq contributed to Beau's cancer.

Vern can go to hell, for all his hate. I would never mock him if HIS daughter dies. That's the difference between us.

Corporate profits are at their highest rate in more than 70 years.

Shell raked in $9.45 billion in profits last quarter and has announced $4 billion in stock buybacks.

Why?

Trump: Just spoke to my friend MBS (Crown Prince) of Saudi Arabia, who spoke with President Putin of Russia, & I expect & hope that they will be cutting back approximately 10 Million Barrels, and maybe substantially more which, if it happens, will be GREAT for the oil and gas industry!

Better blame Biden, amirite? What can we expect from NAT-Cs?

More "Christian hate" from the hypocrite. He delights in a man losing his son. He delights in the beating of Paul Pelosi, and spreads lies about the beating. He delights in the imprisonment of a lesbian Black woman for a victimless crime under Putin's dictatorship.

Anonymous Vern has no problem with Trump's Big Lie. He will not denounce Trump for the Big Lie, and for praising his thugs after watching them terrorize congress and beat cops for three hours on TV.

This is all we need to know about his true evil nature. He supports radical Right hate, racism, lies, and terrorism.

Question is will I be banned from this site for working for the GOP if they win the House and Senate? After all according to radical lefties my doing so would be anti democratic, treason, racist, etc.

If the GOP wins, when will ANTIFA and BLM start their riots? The violence from the left has already started.

Vern is a proud supporter of the party the Klan, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and neo-Nazis vote for.

Vern supports the party that denies the 2020 election results and wants to cancel the votes of 81 million Americans.

For Vern has "values". And obeying his Savior's commandment to love his fellow man is not one of them.

Remember the BLM/ANTIA riots of 2020? https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/01/flashback-2020-six-months-of-antifa-blm-looting-rioting-and-chaos/

Remember James T. Hodgkinson?

Remember the attack on Rand Paul?

Remember the attack on Lee Zeldin?

Remember the attack on Kari Lake's campaign HQ in AZ?

Remember Stacey Abrams denying HER election RESULTS?

Now watch for the liberal "what about-ism response. Watch for the attacks on me instead of addressing the reasons for the election results.

Read the hate filled lies posted by liberals. It is after all they have got.

Finished my tour of duty on the phone bank,,tough work cause very few people answer their cell phones any more. Kind of boring really.

But the few I spoke with didn't need to be swayed to vote for their GOP candidate(s)..Many (like my wife and I) had already voted so there goes the voter suppression lie. Many voiced shock at the level of violence on Republicans being committed by Democrats.

What was really interesting was the almost 100% negative response to the very mention of Biden. As one person said "The only time Biden can form a coherent sentence is when he’s calling over half the country dangerous terrorists."

True.

P.S. Dave if you need a ride to your poll give me your phone number and I think I can arrange a ride for you.

Another Lie about Biden, "calling over half the country dangerous terrorists".

The fascists can't even give an exact quote to frame their "victimhood". "stolen election, always persecuted, the "real victims" of racism".. ..They never run out of BS whines and manufactured resentments to fuel their hate.

They laugh and lie about a MAGA nut cracking a man's skull, because they hate him and his wife. Then they deflect from that brutality to blame democrats.

No Democrat stormed the Capitol. No Democrat praised and defended violent thugs like their Big MAGAt Thug Leader does.

And they have no shame in serving that vicious thug-loving god of hate and lies.

"Because I voted there's no voter suppression!" That's right up there with, "I'm voting for a Black republican, so I CAN'T be a racist!".

They believe and serve a thug who praises a mob for terrorizing Congress and beating cops.

THEY are the terrorists. Trump and his mob of criminals, liars, and thugs. And they're nuts if they think they're "half the country". The just lie and cry louder.

Watch how they will all deny losing an election. If they lose it means Dems cheated.

As shown two years ago, there will be a red shift until the mail-in ballots are counted. More Dems vote early and by mail. The lying sore losers will claim victory BEFORE the votes are counted and even DEMAND counting be stopped.

This all happened two years ago.

These dishonest and hateful fascist NAT-Cs are enemies of our Constitution and democracy.

Vern mentioned something interesting.

"Finished my tour of duty on the phone bank, tough work cause very few people answer their cell phones any more."

This is true. And it is a good reason polls can be way off. Younger people aren't interested in responding to phone polls.

And if they turn out to vote, it will be another blue wave for democracy.
