Last night I made a delicious meatloaf and ate it during an impeachment inquiry

Then I took my blood pressure readings on my little machine during an impeachment inquiry.

And it was the lowest so far even during an impeachment inquiry.

Then I took the readings again just now after not eating all day late during an impeachment inquiry

And it was the highest so far. Scary high during an impeachment inquiry.

It was a fifty point range but nothing feels different and that sure is mysterious especially during an impeachment inquiry.

So I ate another slice of meatloaf a few minutes ago even though I'm still not hungry during an impeachment inquiry.

And I'll take another reading later on to see if eating has any affect on blood pressure during an impeachment inquiry.

Because that's kind of mysterious during an impeachment inquiry.

Maybe this third type of dinky little high blood pressure pill isn't so effective as the first two that have other complications all during an impeachment inquiry.


Apparently Nancy Pelosi decided to be non-productive during an important meeting. Apparently Trump called her a 3rd rate politician. Apparently Pelosi and Schumer stormed out of the meeting and apparently told our corrupted press that Trump melted down.

Apparently Trump produced a photograph of Pelosi standing and wagging her finger at Trump sitting there. Apparently Nancy Pelosi likes the photograph so much that she made it the header of her Twitter account.

If you follow the Trump thread you will see his liberal Twitter-remoras all love it.

Similar to Merkel staring down Trump in Canada that liberal dopes like so much.

All that goes to prove there is simply no talking to bent out of shape liberals.

And when someone in the thread says something along the lines of "he should have grabbed her pussy" then you know for certain they're the infuriating type stuck on step 1 forever to the end of their days.


Elsewhere, Trump wrote a letter to Erdoğan, or however the heck you spell that guy's name.

The letter is short and brutal.

Brute to brute.

It says, "If you bust a move, you little douche, I will kick your ass so hard off the economic battlefield that I won't have to do regime change. You're own population will do that automatically"

I'm paraphrasing, okay?

It is the simplest message put in the simplest terms possible. There can be no misunderstanding. It is devoid of all lawyerly locution. It contains zero diplomacy. Every idiot on earth who reads it will comprehend what Trump means. There is no room for parsing, no room for interpretation, no space for misunderstanding, be you low I.Q. or ESL, or poor with words, short of comprehension, or come from Mars, or think as insects do, or perhaps reptiles, the message rings clear as a bell in all languages for all sentient entities.

It is so lowest common denominator that government lawyers and media people and pundits all around must go and lie down. Because the absence of a supercilious machine-voice reflects on them. It scares them.


Okay, let's review what I put up here. In case you're having difficulty of comprehension or wonder why I included something or said something in some specific odd way that doesn't read to you like newspaper article, perhaps a word or two that you prefer I hadn't used.

The first segment is ridiculing Fox News for irrelevantly putting up on their chyrons "during an impeachment inquiry." It's wrapped up in a tale of a delicious meatloaf and a blood pressure machine giving shockingly high numbers.

Three things at once: meatloaf, high blood pressure readings, Fox News repetitive irrelevant chyrons. 

See, that's a bit odd because it is not straightforward. The reader might not be able to process three things at one time. They might be wondering why three different things are framed his way. Why not just say one thing in one post and another thing in another post? Why intertwine them like this? It's weird. 

This person might be the same type of person who is taken to a comedy show and not understand why the guy is pretending to yell at invisible Beethoven. Or why when Beethoven is embodied he speaks with an unmodulated voice concurrently with ersatz sign language. Or why Beethoven's reputation for being hot-headed is reversed to the guy playing air-guitar. When it should be a violin. Or even how one guy can act out two people at the same time onstage without changing his clothes. It's too difficult of comprehension, it requires imagination similar to the performer to align with it, so it cannot be comedy. 

The second part is about Nancy and Schumer walking out of a meeting that they never intended to participate productively. It's merely  a current event. It's unrelated to the meatloaf-blood pressure-chyron tale. Rather, it's separate: Pelosi and Schumer flouncing out of a meeting with the president of the United States! This switch of topics might confuse some people because it could have been two separate posts with separate titles. As newspaper articles are and as magazines articles usually stick to a single thing. Except for the crap ones that have related pieces in different colored boxes or online that have links to similar stories stuck in between paragraphs in eye-grabbing lettering that distracts and detracts from the article being read. 

This second portion includes a paragraph about a photograph that Trump put up on his Twitter account of their meeting today that got a lot of attention from both sides. Liberals like the look of Nancy Pelosi being unproductive in a meeting. They like switching reality to Trump being irrational from Pelosi and all Democrats being so thoroughly irrational that they cannot even be spoken to. They are hard core branded into their positions and everything else follows from their first burn-branding. Her stomping out shows it. It means she simply cannot handle president Trump.

The second portion also includes reference to a similar Merkel photograph. Because they are the same situation -- both socialist women stand over Trump and lecture him as he just sits there with calm equanimity that's interpreted by liberals as dullness in both cases, reversing whose nerves were worked up and describing Trump as melting down. 

The third portion is about Trump's unique way of handling foreign wars. He's getting the US out of dangerous places that have no chance of benefitting the US. He's been repeating his story about receiving the dead soldiers at Dover. He knows that's a great anecdote that resonates with liberal Americans. Even as he inserts much more manpower than he retracts to other places in the Middle East with the prospect of preventing conflict (with Iran) or being positioned to counter attack. That is, he's taken fifty soldiers and ceded the base on the Turkey/Syria border while inserting a thousand soldiers in Saudi Arabia. 

So then, what he is doing is not simply "bringing our boys home," rather, he is calculating the usefulness of the spread of American military power. He is shifting manpower and positions. He is shaking the board. Shaking everyone's position. Everyone must react and nobody likes it. Everyone uses the opportunity Trump provided to pull their own power-move. And of course our media cannot get anything straight. They have their own power moves. He knows where he wants American warriors to be and it's not on the Turkey/Syrian border. 

Trump knows his power is such that he can handle the Turkish leader by economic means instead. Trump is talking to a brute as alpha brute. And this is something his detractors cannot accept. I'd say it drives them insane but that's ridiculous. They're already insane. And they're incredibly sanctimonious as their tweet communication shows in real time. You'd have to read through the Twitter threads to see the extent of it. The Turkish president is the same way. Trump bashed though by his impressively crude official communication. And you don't have to be the president of Turkey with aspirations of heading the great Islamic Caliphate to be stopped in your tracks by a letter from Trump, whom you consider insane, written with so stark a threat. 

Why, it gives sanctimonious control freak out of power liberals a headache. They must lie down. Their own power mad candidates would all be much more intellectual and much more malleable to party and global influences.

Meatloaf is classic comfort food.

Chip Ahoy said...

I've never made any two alike.

It's weird. I follow an idea but not a recipe. And so far they've all been great. This one had jalapeño and Hoisin sauce because that's what I had. Plus bacon bits on top.

Comfort food for me is a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. It transports me right back to childhood. Funny how that taste/texture combination is basically pizza.

chickelit said...

Or cheesy spaghetti.

I'm still stuck on the difference between real and disposable shoes! (Imagine that all you with Better Bigger Brains!) That difference has been maddenly difficult for me to comprehend on my own and the internet is of no help, bringing up picture after picture of real shoes, intermixed with disposable slippers in what appear to be pastel colors, which could be the result of my Flux screen. I'm at the point of ordering up an imaginary bunch of those slippers right this very minute for the imagined satisfaction of winging them off at someone's imaginary head. Like the guy who lobbed his shoe at Bush That sure showed the ol' GW where the bear shits in the buckwheat. Was it only one shoe thrown? Nope, it was two!! Real as the day you were born, but disposable nonetheless, destroyed by the US and Iraqi security forces after calls throughout the Middle East were made to place the shoes in an Iraqi museum.

Whew, that was way more divergent and interesting than I imagined when the slippers started showing up on my screen. But I'm willing put to my attention elsewhere and eager to try out my squeaky little girl's voice just for the hell of it, to see where it gets me! After the foofah that resulted from the dry run held in the Stadium of the Mind a few days ago, my excitement is running high.

Squeaky Little Girl's voice (SLGv): "What is comfort food, MrND?"

Before MrND can summon up something other than meatloaf, a Manly Man's voice (MMV) from behind him shouts out:
"What's your problem, Lady??? Look it up!! And while you're at it, stop trying to shove me around, tell me what to do, correct my spelling and tighten me up!! Got that!

SLGv: (tinier and squeekier than before) "ok" followed by a small "sigh" and a long pause.

Soundman supplies Sound (SSS) of time passing "Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick "

SSS of keyboard tapping: "Tapity, Tap, Tap, Tap"

SSS of internet working and tiny brain gears turning "rrrt, rrrt, rrrt, rrrt, rrt

SSS of limited comprehension slowly spooling up: "mmrt "MMMRrrt MMMMrrrt MMMMMMMMRRRMRRRRTTT"

SLGv as though reading, haltingly at first with more confidence toward end:
"Comfort Food: The term comfort food has been traced back at least to 1966, when the Palm Beach Post used it in a story: Adults, when under severe emotional stress, turn to what could be called 'comfort food'—food associated with the security of childhood, like mother's poached egg or famous chicken soup. They are believed to be a great coping mechanism for rapidly soothing negative feelings"

MrND loudly proclaims with gusto and great understanding: "Meatloaf! (pause) "Like my Mama always said, better out than in"

It's Pelosi Galore's GoTo when she's losing. Throw a fit and walk out.

As they say,

Give her all the Equality she demands.

Until she screams for mercy.

Chip, I do most the cooking but my bride makes our meatloaf. It's pretty standard recipe and good. Often served w/ mashed taters and vegetable, corn, peas, green beans.If I were the meatloaf cook I would play around w/ it as well. I play around w/ many dishes.

ndspinelli said...

chick, That is a classic comfort meal and one of my brides favorites.

Went in for my annual doctor's visit and the first blood pressure reading was scary high. Second reading, less than ten minutes later, was 20 points lower than first reading. Why? Because after the initial height, weight, eye test nonsense I was jangling inside. Plus, the nurse grabs the arm and holds it elevated to take first reading. I had to tell her to give me a little decompression time and to not raise my arm for the second reading.

None of the above proves anything except I HATE to go see the doctor.

ndspinelli said...

BP is like that ric. The latter reading is the right one.

Chip Ahoy said...

That's what the kidney specialist guy said to convince me to get one of the little machines.

I still don't trust the thing. I'll take it with me next time I go to GP, specialist, or lab to compare it.

Maybe all three for the fun of it.

He said people come in with nerves on edge, traffic, finding the place, dealing with technicians, parking, other things, and we are a lot more comfortable at home.

But his reading was the absolute lowest so far. (150/100 nice round numbers) I was delighted that everything was working so well. He said, suggesting I stop being happy about that, "This is still very high and we need to bring it down." To 130/80, I think.

Then at home was the first time the first number was ever over 200. Since then they've been all lower. But they're still all higher than outside of home when I'm dealing with all those things the doctor mentioned.

I'm not saying the doctor is wrong, I'm saying I don't trust my bp reader.

ndspinelli said...

Chip, I had a smart Jew doc, Harvard educated. My bp would be taken by nurse upon arrival. The doc would always take it at the end of visit and it was always lower, sometimes significantly. I deal w/ chronic pain and that's a big variable.
