The Best Party Is No Party
To start, let’s jump right into the “Jeez loo-fookin’ wheeze!” files. Geriocratic, I mean Democratic, candidate for president Joe Biden promises us he’ll run a playground campaign against Trump. No issues, no substance. No worries. He’ll mock the president’s weight, challenge him to do push-ups. If the President calls him old, old Biden will flex his saggy biceps for us. These are gonna be real fun debates, all right, if the Dems force Biden’s soft-serve self on us. Oh, fookin’ geriocracy! How can we save ourselves from these second-childhood geriocrats?

I’m not sure a playground insult match is the best way to win against a racist and criminal incumbent. And I’m certain that a name-calling outburst from the Geriocratic party leader in Congress, Dino-Dem Nancy Pelosi, won’t do much to solve the problem of rising fascism in America, either.
It might do some good if the remaining Constitutional and Ethical Republicans rose up against a racist and criminal president who does not represent the party of Lincoln or even the party of Reagan. Show some values, fook-heads, or change the name of your party from Republican to Racist-men. Your president is a racist, a criminal, and worse. If you support him, so are you, dudes. I know you’re out there. Stand up!

So, the House voted for a “non-binding resolution” condemning Trump for being a racist turd. About time. But I’m not impressed. It’s total bullshit without teeth. What a waste of our tax money! Fook Nancy Pelosi for her bullshite! If she won’t allow impeachment, she should fookin’ step aside.
In the House vote, only 4 Republicans stood up for their party, for America, and for the Constitution. The rest are losers, racists, double-plus un-good.

• Rep. Will Hurd (TX-23)
• Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01)
• Rep. Fred Upton (MI-06)
• Rep. Susan Brooks (IN-05)
For Will Hurd, Brian Fitzpatrick, Fred Upton and Susan Brooks, a standing ovation from the Side. You’ve shown by your actions you have ethics left and I applaud you. But where are the rest of you ethical Republicans? I’m disappointed for sure. You sure let the Dems win that round, dumb-fooks.
Come to think about it, for Trump, going back where he came from would be to a shitty bankrupt Atlantic City casino. That might not be too bad of a punishment. But only impeachment can send him back where he came from, wherever that turns out to be.
So why won’t the Democrats impeach this shite-bucket? Because of Nancy Pelosi and no other reason. Oh yeah, Nancy Pelosi was just attacking the same women Trump went off on to demonstrate his racism. Coincidence? Cue the spooky music. I don’t think so.
Hmm, now that I think about it, Nancy seems pretty good at dealing with these racist fascists. She thinks she’s nearing a budget deal with Treas Sec Mnuchin. Remember that Mnuchin is actually a criminal for refusing a lawful subpoena from Nancy Pelosi’s House of Reps just the other day? I didn’t think so. Me either, for second, they’ve got us all so confused. Apparently Nancy’s memory doesn’t stretch back very far, either. If she remembers, it obviously doesn’t matter much to her. She knows what side her bread is buttered on, and it’s not the side of the American people.

The headlines, shouted by the Carnival Barkers, are always amusing, even if the show itself is predictable. Red Fox says “Treasury Secretary Mnuchin denies House Dem’s request for tax returns.” I love it. A legal requirement becomes a “request”! And Mnuchin a defiant hero. Blue CNN and CBS are simpler: “Mnuchin refuses to turn over Trumps’ taxes”. Just the facts, ma’am. This LA Times editorial headline at least addresses the true nature of the conflict, announcing “Hello constitutional crisis: The administration won’t turn over Trump’s tax returns”
But only the UK papers will admit the simple truth that “Trump’s treasury secretary ‘breaks law’ by refusing to hand over president’s tax returns for investigation” That from The Independent.
That’s right, I’m saying it here. Not only is Trump a criminal, but now Mnuchin is a criminal, too.
Now I remember. So, I guess Nancy Pelosi is okay making deals with criminals. And racists.
One thing about those fookin’ Dinosaur Dems— they do stick together.

But Al Green is gonna impeach whatever those Dino-Dems say. Fook Pelosi. Let her vote be counted, if she wants to vote against impeachment. Which side is she on?

When you see the mess left by the Two-Party circus, you might sometimes the best Party is no Party at all. I’ve come to think that way all the time.
Here’s a great opinion piece from the Oregonian this morning. Leaving the P.R. Burn-em’s Two-Party Circus isn’t just my idea. This guy did it, too, and offers some compelling reasons why. Hey, you, too, can give it a try!
https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2019/07/opinion-breaking-the-hold-of-the-two-party-system.html
The way to overturn this clearly dysfunctional system is for each of us to simply stop playing the two-party game. Many years ago, in frustration, I dropped my Democratic Party membership and just became an NPA – no party affiliation – voter. I’m not alone.
No you’re not, brother. And I guess I’m not alone anymore, either. I guess I never was, over here on the Side. Come and join us. You might like what you see.
Once you leave the Circus, the real world becomes, well, real, you know. So, on to the climate crisis…
Here’s an excellent new Democracy Now interview with Dhar Jamail. Do you know him? He’s my man. The best reporter during the Iraq war has become the best reporter on the climate crisis. His recent book “The End of Ice” makes him an official member of The Cult of the Doomsday Scientists.

As I predicted the other day, there’s a big heatwave hitting the USA. Looks more like a Heat Tsunami than a heat wave. When the deaths start adding up, maybe our government will add up 2 + 2 and declare a climate emergency. And start acting like it’s an emergency. But I wouldn’t count on it.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/16/weather/weather-heatwave/index.html
That’s right, folks. It’s 2 + 2 time on the Side. Let me think about it for a while. If global average temps rise, then will extreme high temperatures rise also? Get back to me when you puzzle that one out. I’ve got to take an ice bath.

So I’ll leave you with a day’s worth of study, if you want to dig in. Here’s the actual study the above articles are based on. Find out the whys, wherefores, and fookin’ deadly consequences of ignoring the climate crisis. Amaze and bore your friends at parties. Learn enough and you, too, can join the Cult of the Doomsday Scientists.

I’ll see you then, when the morning comes, over here on the Side.
Impeachment vote happening today. Why not refer the question to Judiciary? Hard to understand any reason not to investigate. But we’ll get names, this time.
