Monday Morning Hangover
Y’all, I don’t drink much but think I’m gonna have to start. Or, we could make this easy and legalize weed.
Flat out truth: if you need any further evidence that this election was helped by raw racism, all you gotta do is close your eyes and picture Jeff Sessions as head of the Justice Department for the whole damn country. Jeff Session, who once claimed that he liked the Ku Klux Klan until he found out that they smoked marijuana. Which makes me need some marijuana.
Deval Patrick wrote an amazing letter to the House Judiciary Committee on his dealings with Sessions. The rightwing media is calling all this “slander.” Honey, to be slander, it has to be untrue. Jeff Sessions is a racist and cares not one twit about women’s rights. So, sue me.
I watch Meryl Streep last night. I thought she was brilliant. In the wee hours of this morning, alleged president elect Donald Trump spent 25 minutes writing three tweets about Streep’s speech. Yep, three tweets eight minutes apart.
Also happening yesterday, North Korea says it has ICBMs ready to launch. I guess that’ll have to wait until Trump clears his Twitter calendar.
KellyAnne went on Fox News this morning for her usual grooming and said …
“I’m concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep is also, I think, inciting people’s worst instincts,” Conway said.
Yeah, I’m bumfuzzled, too. The Queen of Appealing to Worst Instincts doesn’t own a mirror.
Kick it into second gear and lets get this week started.
Kudos to Meryl Streep for giving us a voice. Critic on twitter didn’t like being lectured but anyone who objected to hearing her thoughts on disturbing acceptance of bullying and humiliation has a guilty conscience for supporting the Bully-in-Chief.
1No. Let’s NOT get this week started, please. I’ve been coming down on “conservatives” [what do they want to conserve, please? Certainly not the planet. But I digress] for wanting to march determinedly backward – – but I’m beginning to sympathize. I’m absolutely in favor of beginning a program of backward-living for the next 8 years. And THEN I’ll kick into a forward gear again.
Excuse me. I’m going back to bed. For the next 8 years. See you then.
2NYT says Sessions is a Washington DC outsider despite 20 years as a Senator?
3e platypus onion, I’m thinking “outsider” is DeeCee speak for too unpalatable for even the Congress varmints. Like Teddie Crooze and what Lindsey Graham said, “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you.”
When looking for the definition of a two legged rat, pay attention to the ones the other two legged rats are fleeing.
4As for @KellyannePolls, that sure is a person in need of a high altitude house drop. Old *expletives deleted* built a career with her husband from stalking and smearing the Clintons. Then she took a step further down to become a fluffer for Donnie.
How would one go about getting one’s self respect back after that?
5@two crows – Let’s work like hell to make it four years, please! I don’t think I could stand eight.
6KA Convict sez Dems pay too much attention to what comes out of Drumpf’s mouth. We need to look at what’s inside his heart. Lust for Ivanka is what I’……..hell, that is all I’m seeing. EEww!
7epo: Excellent idea! Look inside his heart! Cut him open, take it out, look at it REALLY good (that could take weeks, no?), then discuss and discuss and discuss what to do next. Y’know… TrumpCare.
8“I’m concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep is also, I think, inciting people’s worst instincts,” Conway said.
This should read: “I’m concerned that somebody with a platform like Donald Trump is also, I think, inciting people’s worst instincts,” Millions of Americans said.
FIFY
9As I said on another post, Ms. Streep was marvelous last night. She was moving, poetic, intimate, personal, heartfelt. Wow.
KAConvict and her owner are trying to gaslight America. Cocksplat says he wasn’t really mocking that reporter. Anyone of us who has grown up as a human being (unlike him) has seen bullies trying to humiliate others and we know exactly what it is when we see it. That clip is a cruel bully picking on a disabled guy. We’re not buying the cocksplat’s BS.
Then she tells us we are at fault for believing his words. We should instead imagine what he might have meant if he was actually a decent person. Nope, not buying that BS either. He’s a bully and she’s trying to blame us for recognizing that.
I think the cocksplat has gaslighted himself and his groveling minions.
