Guys, I’m crushed today with helping with trial prep but I’m keeping one eye on the Steve Bannon jury.  Maybe you are, too.

And it paid off.

One of the things I’ve noticed on social media lately are the cries from conservatives that liberals were apparently rooting for Donald Trump to die when he had COVID. Yet, they are all adults and none of them have wished death on Joe Biden. See, they are the adults and those that believe in civility unlike all of these nasty liberals. Of course, they forget that we have receipts.

I know many of you do not follow Twitter, so I need to add to this little gem. Steinberg later went on a private twitter video off air where she gleefully asked her followers if Joe Biden would die. Naturally, I first saw this in one of my social media echo chambers and the comments got pretty sarcastic when it came to her fashion and beauty choices. I’m just a simple guy, so I won’t get into any of that.

I only have two points when it comes to all of this. First of all, my memory may be a bit fuzzy, but I don’t remember anyone on MSNBC, The Young Turks, or any prominent member of the progressive media wishing death on Donald Trump. Of course, I don’t spend all my waking hours watching those channels or networks. Hell, I don’t watch a whole lot of television to begin with. So, maybe someone could help me out there. If I’ve missed a major progressive politician or news anchor wishing death on Donald Trump please provide the receipts.

We had an election where over 150 million people voted. More than 80 million voted for Joe Biden and against the former guy. There is absolutely a non-zero chance that a few of those 80 million people might have uttered those sentiments out loud. There’s a decent chance it was more than a few. I’m not answering for them. I refuse to. What I will do is apply pressure on any elected official or prominent talking head to clean up their act. However, I tend to doubt that I will have to do that.

Furthermore, this ignores the irony that the former guy gaslit the nation about the dangers of the virus and then ended up getting it. He spread it to others and allegedly attempted to spread it to more (including Joe Biden) knowingly and on purpose. More than a million people are dead and the vast majority probably didn’t need to die. I certainly don’t condone wishing death on anyone, but many of those people probably lost family members to the virus and maybe some close friends. Maybe those family members and close friends neglected to wear masks or vaccinate because their commander in chief said that was okay. I can’t condone anything, but under those conditions I certainly understand it.

Okay, so it’s 101 degrees today, it’s been over 100 for two weeks now, the humidity is awful, and now Covid is rampant.  They’ve run out of Topo Chico and everybody is on edge about the grid going down.

And there’s this —-

Let me assure you that this is not the only time police have been called to a house after a spouse has tried to get back in.  It’s only in the newspaper because he’s the chief, but Honey, it’s happening all over.

People have had it up to here, hear?

I was writing for one of my paying jobs earlier this week and made the comment that no matter what dumb butt thing the Texas Governor does, it will be blamed on the border and the lack of a wall.

In case anybody thinks I was wrong or overstating the situation, the boys who write at my local newspaper decided to give me a hand and prove my theory.  I appreciate their help but What The Fried Okra were they thinking?

Try your damnest to read this.

In all my years, I have never heard of a Smoky and the Bandit chase through Odessa. Odessa is 250 miles from Del Rio and 290 miles from El Paso.  It’s almost closer to Fort Worth than the border.  It’s desert and snakes.  Odessa is not a border city and a lockdown is a lockdown. Schools in the inner city have lockdowns all the time, thanks to guns in the area.

Governor Abbott looked the fool for his handling of the press after this horrific event.  His supporters need to distract from that fact and blame someone else.

Dudes, we need to talk to this “investigator” who believes that repetition of facts and actions is not a factor in learning.

You wanna know what another “factor” might have been?  Letting a teenager with mental health problems buy a weapon of mass destruction.  Not coming to their aid for over an hour.  Police who are are not brave or leaders.  I dunno, but practicing did not cause this event.

Newspaper Boys, the absence of a wall is not what’s making Greg Abbott stoopid. He was born that way.

I know I have been derelict in tending to the beauty salon lately, relying on Twitter or quips too much.  But sometimes Republicans just make it too easy.

What in the actual.. https://t.co/xDhSngczaS

Grab a pencil and write down Garrett’s name somewhere so you won’t forget and mistakenly hire him to weed your garden one day.  It is horrible what the J6 committee did to him – they made him unemployable for at least two decades.

I’ll put up a post before the hearing tonight in case you want to stop by and say something smart ass.  I will enjoy it twice as much knowing that Garrett isn’t.

(Y’all, I had to look up what a thot is.  I don’t get out near enough.) This guy worked in the damn White House.  Holy crap, no wonder why it all went to hell.

Okay, I admit it.  I have a little bitty crush on Congressdreamy Eric Swalwell. He’s funny.

Damn. Rupert gonna be pissed. https://t.co/i3Hki8tvK1

Okay, let me think about this.  George Soros came to America in 1956. Murdoch came in 1974. As well as other Republican billionaires, Peter Triel and Elon Musk.

But, of course, none of them are Jewish. You know he wanted to say Jewish instead of foreign born.
