That was 4 or 5 days ago!

The words of our fearless (feckless?) leader when confronted with the reality of Afghans so desperate to get out of their country they tried clinging  the landing gear of a US transport a la Ahnold in Commando. Unlike the Schwarz, they didn't make it.

This presents a difficult problem for the Democrats, as the lying dogfaced pony soldier is of a part with Zippy, bragging about how many people he's killed via drone, the Hildabeast telling us the deaths of 4 embassy personnel really don't matter at this point, and more than a few fellow party members betraying their lack of concern about the value of American lives.. He was supposed to be decent and credible and... a Catholic, as opposed to Trump who actually got things done.

Insty has linked a long article telling us mostly what we already know. To wit, he’s overcompensating for an intellectual inferiority complex and a man who behaves as if he knows much more than he does, who has far too much confidence in his own judgment in the face of contrary advice from experts.

Since he got the nod last year, we've been treated to the occasional glimpse into his (I use the word loosely) mind. He has told us on several occasions about how he is a stand up guy because of all the smart guys who look down their noses at people like him. Trump, of course, being at the top of the list. That he never asked himself why that happened is a mystery, but it may explain why I have a feeling he really did reach this momentous flight into the Twilight Zone. 

The Gray Lady has been insisting how our woke military brass tried to tell him this was a really bad idea and he refused to listen. I'm betting somebody tripped his switch with some otherwise inconsequential remark (remember Senator Ma'am?) or maybe exasperation flickered across some bird colonel's face and he took offense.

So, to the surprise of absolutely no one, the Demos picked a couple of morons who could take orders (reminiscent of an old Hogan's Heroes episode). After bragging how she gave him the final push to go ahead, Chlamydia is now off to the far end of the world. specifically, Hanoi (talk about your bad timing) to get as far from this as she can. I wish her luck on that one.

What's interesting is how the Demos intend to get out of this because even Fake News isn't covering for them. Talk of the 25th Amendment has been raised, but that would mean Chlamydia would be lost as the tie-breaker in the Senate.

And forget impeachment. AFAIK, this breaks no law. Although that never stopped Pelosi Galore.

No, I'm betting on another Amendment, created on January 1, 2015.

The Harry Reid Amendment.

With a party awash in superannuated drones well past their sell by dates and idiot ideologues who couldn't be trusted with a kid's lemonade stand who have created a domestic mess of inflation, crime, illegals, and lousy education, a housecleaning is vital.

It's a little like Ghostbusters (the good one). In the scene where the guys confront the mayor about what's really happening, Peter Venkman reminds Hizzoner, if they can stop it, "Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters". The Cardinal smiles, nods his head, everybody agrees, and Walter Peck is shown the door.

There's a poll out that says 10% of Demos regret voting for him and 40% disapprove of his actions (my own guess it's 40% who wish they'd voted for the other guy that won and maybe 80% disapprove).

So, if I'm right, we'll see a long string of illnesses, falls, accidents, and other mishaps including wishing to spend more time with the family. I could be wrong, but somehow, I think the next few weeks and months could be interesting.

PS The other guy was asked by a woman a few weeks ago if he saw and light at the end of our tunnel. He smiled.

And the media should have to answer for painting this oaf as competent.

Plus I don't see anything better if the republicans get back in. They never seem to have any power to retract this stuff, they only ever have enough muscle for tax cuts, warmongering and amnesty.

There's always reinstatement.

At some point people will see the problem is the duopoly. We need to shake it up and have more than just 2 fucking options. I'm not talking radical. We have chocolate and vanilla. How about some strawberry. I'm speaking in ice cream so Uncle Joe and his ilk will understand.

I think the way to beat them is not to concentrate on one party. Run candidates for both parties and unseat the incumbent. Then vote for the one the district leans to D or R.

In Illinois running against a despised governor, Jim Thompson, was Adlai Stevenson, the dems were so lazy a couple of Larouchies nabbed the Sec of State position and one I don't remember, but they has changed their names to something WASPish and trounced the two regular dems who had ethnic names. Stevenson had to denounce the two and his campaign went into the toilet.

amper, I've long thought that Congress could be cleansed by a grass root campaign to vote out incumbents. It matters not their party, just vote them out and have a Congress of all rookies. See how they do for 2 years, and if they shit the bed, vote the motherfuckers out again. Voters need to go on offense, not just keep playing defense. The House would be easier than the Senate because of the 6 year term.

It's been tried and never really worked to anybody's satisfaction.

Also been tried, although with not much enthusiasm.

This time, however, it could be different.

ed, You're right, enthusiasm is key. Not just anger, but motivation for positive change.

What's coming is wrath.

Negative emotions are powerful motivators in the short term. This endeavor will require sustained effort.

Mama, I think you've got something there.
