Fani Willis has to be pretty happy right now.\u201d That should push Donnie\u2019s diastolic into the triple digits.<\/p>\n<p>He hasn\u2019t been doing well lately. The other day, he confused Turkey and Hungary. Granted, he\u2019s getting on, and the nurse probably forgot to give him his Ensure before he went on stage and started babbling. He KNOWS Turkey is in Argentina and Hungary is a Canadian province. He was just feeling peckish, is all.<\/p>\n<p>But his mind is still ticking like one of those boxes where you turn the crank and a clown pops out. He was, according to himself, the first to ever notice that the abbreviation for the United States and the pronoun \u201cus\u201d were spelled exactly the same! Ha! Top THAT, Neil Degrasse-Tyson!<\/p>\n<p>That Jenna Ellis became the third of Trump\u2019s lawyers to cop a plea in the Georgia election tampering case and, like Powell and Cheseboro, got slaps on the wrist, bodes very poorly for our Donnie. Those three, among them, pretty much know where ALL the bodies are buried.<\/p>\n<p>I doubt Trump is going to be the Republican candidate next year. In fact, I\u2019m not sure that party will even HAVE a candidate. Or rather, several versions of the party, all calling themselves \u201cThe REAL Republican Party\u201d will have candidates. I mean, look at the House. These are the same pack of clowns who have to figure out who their presidential candidate should be\u2014and the main guy is now very clearly going down in flames. One of the candidates\u2014probably a pro-Israel holocaust-denying civil libertarian who wants Jesus to run the country and birth control outlawed\u2014might win pluralities in some place like Oklahoma or Idaho, but essentially, Biden will run unopposed. Not that I think Biden hasn\u2019t earned a second term, but one-party rule is a bad thing, even if it\u2019s the party with the grown-ups.<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans who aren\u2019t convulsing in the House are planning another unwatched shouty match. NBC, who really should know better, will be carrying it. I don\u2019t plan to watch, but the expressions on Rachel Maddow\u2019s face afterward should be entertaining as hell. Imagine the look on King Charles\u2019 face if you walked up to him and offered to slip a live trout down his pants. Yeah. That expression. Rachel is sane and intelligent. Sane and intelligent people shouldn\u2019t have to deal with Republican candidates. In fairness, the king of England shouldn\u2019t have to deal with people like me, who suggest accosting the royal personage with fish.<\/p>\n<p>The debate is going to be streamed exclusively by Rumble, a place that brags that it is home to people too disgusting and bent for any of the other streaming services. Lots of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism, and conspiracy theories. One of the sponsors of the debate is an outfit called \u201cThe Republican Jewish Coalition\u201d which apparently is fine with a venue that is holocaust-denying (except for the ones who are pro-holocaust) and Hitler-praising. Yeah, that seems like an apt site for the GOP to engage in Jewish outreach.<\/p>\n<p>Between Russia\u2019s inept invasion of Ukraine, and the vicious attack by Hamas on Israel followed by the even more vicious Netanyahu retaliation, the world is teetering on the brink of a possible global war. But Vivek Ramaswamy thinks this is a good time for the US to pull out of NATO, and maybe the UN, as well. Because, like the GOP in the late 1930s, this iteration also believes the best way to deal with those foreign dictators they admire so much (they make the trains run on thyme, you know, very aromatic) is to embrace isolationism. Vivek isn\u2019t the only Republican who feels that way, of course. Most of the ones getting their strings pulled by the rapidly-dwindling Trump profess the same nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>Putin is continuing his not-so-subtle sabre-rattling, and is now threatening to pull out of the 1963 test ban treaty. But Donnie and his crowd still worship Putin. He makes the trains run in rhyme, you know, very poetic.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there\u2019s this: Dr Christopher Wolf, at Oregon State University (OSU) in the US and a lead author of the report, [told the Guardian]: \u201cWithout actions that address the root problem of humanity taking more from Earth than it can safely give, we\u2019re on our way to the potential collapse of natural and socioeconomic systems and a world with unbearable heat and shortages of food and freshwater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy 2100, as many as 3 billion to 6 billion people may find themselves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/may\/22\/global-heating-human-climate-niche\">outside Earth\u2019s livable regions<\/a>, meaning they will be encountering severe heat, limited food availability and elevated mortality rates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We won\u2019t need to wait until 2100. Our current \u201cSuper El Nino\u201d is building, and this winter should see weather that will displace millions of people and kill thousands. Meanwhile, south of the equator, this summer should be a real horror show. About the only thing in Australia not at risk of burning is Ayer\u2019s Rock (now called Uluru, but since Australians voted last week to not give Aboriginals full citizenship, perhaps they\u2019ll show the same grace and charm of our Republicans and change the name back to the British appellation.)<\/p>\n<p>Grim times, yes. You a gotta laugh, right? It\u2019s that, or walk into a jet intake.<\/p>\n<p>Hm. I wonder if we can convince Donnie to wear a longer tie when he\u2019s around Trump Farce One. Or would that suggestion just get me a visit from the Secret Service?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meltdown Making our brains run in slime Bryan Zepp Jamieson October 24th 2023 www.zeppscommentaries.online Some cheeky sort named \u201cAnotherdumblib\u201d posted this on Truth Social today: \u201cFirst the Kraken, then the Cheeseball, and now Tell Us Ellis. $5,000 fine, five years probation, gotta write a letter of apology, and some community service.
