Not A Grant Rant, But A Diabribe

 

"Money Against Truth" by Herr D on Paint3d. A bribe accepted is the shameful acceptable.-Shelob

Please explain your mood--this is rage?

[startle reaction] n-no. This is righteous indignation. GOP wants to BRIBE US!? $5000.00 per adult voter if both the Senate and House go Republican.

They've cost me a LOT more than THAT! They've cost me more than that in just the past two YEARS. They cost me between eighty and ninety thousand in the past sixteen. Up to around hundred and ten thousand since the year 2002--

IT'S A BAD DEAL. So the money isn't good?

Well, not if TRUMP promises it! He's promised a LOT more than he has ever delivered. But that's not the worst part! What is the worst part?

A lot of people are so bad off that they won't realize how bad a deal this is. On top of that, a lot of people will forget what a bribe MEANS. A bribe is a unit, usually money, given to someone to do something they would not do otherwise, usually something shameful or criminal.

EXACTLY. Even Trump's GOP is implying it is shameful or criminal to vote for them. Noted. Thank you.

Hang In There, People! We're Not Done Yet.

 

"Headcut" by Herr D on Paint3d. Much truth found in thinking nothing like those in charge.-Shelob

You are not blogging about the signs intended to debunk the Smithsonian?

No, I'm not worried. Why not?

Most people who are actually smart enough to appreciate the Smithsonian are smart enough to know not to trust politicians, influencers, etc. You are not blogging about the Great Lakes name change attempt? 

No, I'm not worried. Why not?

Most people are going to call Lake Ontario 'Lake Ontario' out of habit even if they WANT to change their ways. The clowndog will just sound more stupid about more stuff. You are not blogging about the Strait of Hormuz name change attempt?

No, I'm not worried. Why not?

If they name it after OUR president, they'll call it the Crooked Strait. Same thing, really. Habits will win over stupidity. You are not blogging about Hegseth reducing our military leadership?

He IS a reduction of leadership. Hogspit IS a reduction of common sense, sobriety, intelligence, skill potential, and more than I could name. Even Tillis called him 'inept.' The Tillis that confirmed him?

Yeah--but it's kind of an insult to the more capable inept people. What will you blog on?

Everyone please take some time to check yourself. Our military aren't the only ones that need mental health. And our president is making everyone less sane by the day. Thank you. This PSA brought to you by Herr D.

And I'm Not A Country Music Fan At All

 

"U.S. Flag" by Herr D on heromachine.com. It is good to present material on someone beneficial for a change, even in retrospect.-Shelob

Shelob?

Here.

You do alternate lyrics--how about a tribute piece to Dolly Parton? I mean, if we can waste countless blog episodes on the Clowndog we have in office, we can surely mention someone who brought smiles to the world.

Goodbye, Dolly, 

Well, goodbye, Dolly.

We'd all like to have you back 

Where you belong!

We're sad you're gone, Dolly,

to Beyond, Dolly.

But if Heaven needs you 

Just make sure they've 

Got a song!

Thank you, Shelob

The Cost Of Idiocy, The Cost Of A Smile, The Cost Of Pointing Outward Rather Than Inward

"Isolationism"  by Herr D on Paint3d. Hairy used to say, 'pufferfish can fill space, but it takes a moron to really sink a ship.' America HAS sunk on the world 'stage.' People of all nations agree. ...Shelob

[plays clip of Hegseth's testimony]

Even some of the Republican senators didn't really believe Hogspit's testimony. You can see it in their faces. They've pointed out his bad planning, his questionable excuses, his self-aggrandizement, and his rather odd and obviously dishonest, lavish praise of Trump. Nobody actually defended Biden--I'd like to see a lawyer tell Hogspit he's guilty of slander and take the case to court. [plays clip of Trump speech at press awards]

Kaitlan Collins might agree to smile at Trump if he would answer a tough question truthfully? Mystery solved, thank you. What have you chosen to watch?

Josh Johnson--he's funny. He's accurately said that Trump has become the president he always claimed Biden was. Trump is not a prognosticator.

He's an ignorator. No definition. 

He makes people more stupid. Understood. 

Eight Of The Stewings . . .

 

"Pants Afire" by Herr D on Paint3d. The following eight things Herr D has 'stewed over' are not all about POTUS. Some are about congressmen and bad people from OUTSIDE the country.

Shelob? Here.

Trump is STILL trying to say bad news shouldn't apply to him. His ramblings are classifiable as paranoid delusions.

He actually blamed the 'Deep State' for his loss in 2020. If the Deep State existed, he would not be in office now.

He blamed foreign powers for losing. Without Russian propaganda, he would never have won the first time.

He blamed Iran--is that why he's so about bombing them? That would assume he was rational about his irrational vendettas.

[snort] I'm out, but have a few minutes left. L. Graham died.

So THAT'S the way the cracker crumbles. Mitch McConnell is returning.

The Mitch is MACK! MTG has made interesting declarations of late.

It's STRANGE that MTG is NOT WTF anymore. She's more sensible than most elected Republicans now?! I gotta go. Thank you.

Boogers For Sale; Great Deals!

 

"Presidential Boogers" by Herr D on Paint3d with backgrounds selected from Pinterest. Our current POTUS does seem old, dried, and the sort that would interfere with the breathing of the founding fathers. This does seem like an interesting way to sell lumps of gray granite.-Shelob

You have not blogged.

[muted startle reaction]  I'm . . . tired, Shelob. Ninety hour weeks. [shows clip of address in front of Rushmore] You are fatigued. What do you think of this?

I'd like to think anyone watching that would never listen to him or value his words again, but then, I've said that about so many of Trump's speeches that it's obvious some people won't learn. Josh Johnson said that Trump has become the president he claimed Biden was. And you agree?

No, I'd say he has been for a long time now. Plus he was an active perv. Even someone who's infected the courts, debased Congress, weaponized the DOJ and the FBI can't outdo a guilty verdict. It looks like Hairy was right. One man can't ruin a whole nation. Unfortunately he's getting a lot of help. Thank you.

Be All That You Can Be--EXCEPT THE VOICE OF REASON PUBLICLY

"US Flag" by Herr D on Paint3d. One wonders if whistleblower protection extends to those blowing whistles about POTUS.-Shelob

 [excerpt from chat regarding the soldier who was removed from protesting]

No, that man is in for it. You believe he will be punished by the military?

If they don't actively punish him, he'll still likely have limited any promotions he could possibly get. The brass don't like trumpeters. An ironic statement. An aphorism?

I think I made it up. Frankly, ALL military right now is braver than most military have recently had to be. Why?

The commander-in-chief is a loon. He's more likely to get people killed. The illegal orders didn't help.
