A TRAITOR'S LOGIC

In case you don't think the Republicans have lost their minds, consider this. The Republicans, led by Kevin McCarthy are vilifying Liz Cheney because she voted to impeach Trump. In other words she obeyed her oath of office by voting against a traitor who incited a riot at the U.S. Capitol that resulted in several deaths and untold destruction. Kevin objected to her doing her duty since he had no intention of  living up to his oath. Faulting her for that is like punishing a fireman for putting out a fire; complaining about a policeman who arrests a murderer; ridiculing a lifeguard for saving a drowning person. These treasonous Republicans have no integrity left and now it's beginning to affect their sanity. They can't tell right from wrong. This will become incredibly obvious at the end of the impeachment trial when most of these losers let Trump off with a slap on the wrist. No not even that,  more like a kiss on the butt. 


 I can see why African Americans are underserved in their attempts t get Coronavirus shots. First of all almost all appointments must be done by computer, which many poorer families don't have. And even if they do, making reservations is so complicated. I just tried to make a reservation at Publix and gave up because the form was so unnecessesarily complex. I am 78 years old, and keep seeing much younger people being vaccinated on the TV. In the meantime I wait and wait and wait. I have been signed up with two providers from whom I have never heard. What a shambles!

THE GREAT MYSTERIOUS WHY.

There is no question that Trump will be acquitted by the Republicans. But there is also no question that you'd have to be dumb and blind not to realize that Trump was totally responsible for the assault on the Capitol. Trump led that mob to the Capitol and caused the deaths of five people, the costly destruction of a revered building, the intense fear of many representatives. Trump is an evil egoist who has no feelings for anyone but himself. Despite that these immoral Republicans are willing to save him from retribution, put their own integrity on the line and make sure this evil ogre does not pay for his crimes. Why? Nobody knows. But almost every Republican senator has branded himself with the words coward and traitor two labels that they will not shed for the remainder of their shameful lifetimes.

WAS IT WORTH IT?

 If you're one of the thousand of  fans in Tampa not wearing a mask, live it up. Eat whatever you want. Drink as much as you like. Take full advantage of flouting the law and ignoring safety precautions like wearing a mask and keeping your distance. Be happy today, because in a week or so hundreds of you will either be home dealing with your most miserable flu symptoms or in a hospital trying desperately to breathe. 


"THEY'RE HERE!"

I find it incredibly prophetic that the 1956 movie The Invasion of the Body Snatchers starred Kevin McCarthy and now 65 years later another Kevin McCarthy is involved with another pack of body snatchers. This group of Republicans wasn't hatched from a pod under their beds, but they are just as inhumane and just as robotic. Unlike actual people they don't seem to have any morals, any feelings, and some of them are downright diabolic which doesn't seem to bother the soulless Kevin. In 1956, we didn't know exactly what evil plans they had, but we could only hope they were defeated before they did our country harm. The body snatchers were scary then and now they're even moreso.

THE COURT JESTER

You have to admire senators who are not afraid to admit that they have no allegiance to the Constitution and are all for criminal behavior. So cheers for Rand Paul, the dizzy eye doctor, who is  totally in favor of Trump's treachery and has no problem with Marjorie Taylor Greene putting a bulllet in Nancy Pelosi's head. While there are a lot of traitors in the Republican Party, Paul seems to be the one most bothered by the rule of law and that damned interfering democracy, Of course he has no problem with pocketing his large paycheck and avail himself of all the perks of being a Senator like keeping  his curls intact. But then he obviously takes pride in his hypoocrisy and ignoring the cause of liberty. I'm sure that Rand Paul, the Danny Kaye of the Senate, will continue to amuse with his inane antics.



SUN UNTRUST


 Recently Sun Trust Bank cancelled my credit card that I used to pay Xfinity, St.Jude, Chewy and others. Why? They said it had been used illlegaly. This is totally untrue. The problem was that the credit machines at my local Publix, for some reason, will not accept this card. Apparently this glitch threw the investigators at Sun Trust into a total panic for which they saw no solution except to totally screw up my finances and make it impossible for me to watch a Netlflix movie or donate to St. Jude. A single phone call would have solved the problem, but nobody calls customers any more. So Sun Trust is sending me a new and unnecessary card and I will spend an hour or so on new, unnecessary phone calls to straighten this mess out.
