TDS Wack-O-Meter - 8/12/2022

The New TDS Wack-O-Meter:

You may be a wacko, infected by the leftist virus, TDS, the full name of which is Trump Derangement Syndrome. This simple test will help you determine if your dislike of or distrust of President Donald J Trump is healthy and normal, or if you are a fully deranged left wing wacko, beyond help or reason.

Take the following true/false test. Give yourself the number of points in parenthesis for each question for which you answer: "true":

1. Donald Trump colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential race vs. Hillary Clinton, true or false? (2)

2. Donald Trump paid a Russian Hooker to pee on a bed that had been slept in by a former US President of a rival party, true or false? (3)

3. Donald Trump called a report about Russians paying bounties on US Soldiers to the Taliban fake news. Donald Trump was lying when he did so to protect his fragile ego, true or false? (2)

4. Donald Trump called Neo-Nazis "fine people", true or false? (2)

5. Donald Trump advised peopleat  to drink bleach to fight Covid, true or false? (3)

6. Donald Trump cleared protesters with tear gas so he could stage a bible photo op, true or false? (2)

7. The Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation, true or false? (4)

8. The election in 2020 was fair and untainted, as no court found evidence of major fraud, true or false? (2)

9. January 6th was an insurrection to overthrow the government of the USA, true or false? (3)

10. Donald Trump was so angry on January 6th that he attempted to forcibly take the wheel of the Presidential limo known as "the beast" to take it to the Capitol, true or false? (2)

Scoring:

0... It's great you're a Trump supporter. He's not as perfect or infallible as you seem to think. I do commend you for not watching CNN or MSNBC, though.

2-5 points... You are a skeptic, but your skepticism is in a reasonably healthy range. We should all maintain a healthy skepticism of our leadership, regardless of personality or party.

6-10 points... You have mild TDS. You might consider doing some of your own fact checking rather than taking what you read from the NY Times, Washington Post, or hear on NPR, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, or ABC as factual and accurate. Ask yourself if your favorite sources of news information are impartial and just as critical of candidates and politicians from the left as they are of Trump and the right.

11-15 points... You are fully infected with TDS. You are closed minded and simple. If you discovered evidence that provided incontrovertible proof of corruption on the left or Trump innocence of any allegation, you would hide it for what you think are the country's best interests. You are beyond help.

16-25 points... You not only have severe TDS, you are a wack-a-doodle-doo fucking moron of epic proportions. You may not hear people talking about how stupid you are, but I promise you, they do. A lot! Ask your parents how much they had to donate to your high school to get them to issue you a diploma. There are reasons why you didn't get that job you wanted or the promotion that you sought. To save your dumb ass the trouble of trying to figure it out, let me tell you plainly: you're really, really stupid, and you're a gullible follower totally incapable of taking on more responsibility or of taking a leadership role in any organization except the Democratic Party. But don't get too excited about that. The Democratic Party doesn't really care for you either, they just like to amass large numbers of really dumb motherfuckers like you for their own power and gain. They know you're too lazy to think independently or critically, and that you're dumb enough to take one for the team while they laugh behind your back.

Banana Republic, USA - 8/10/2022

The FBI raiding Mar-A-Lago has descended the US into banana republic status.

In 2001 after Bill Clinton left office, I felt Republicans who were obsessed with taking potential criminal justice actions against him for his “crimes” were out to lunch. Once the guy left office, it was time to move on. We are not a banana republic where vindictive action against political foes to exact revenge for wrongs, whether real or imagined, is how we should conduct ourselves. At the time I felt the GOP was in the wrong for not letting Clinton go peaceably into history.

Many Republicans remained obsessed with Bill Clinton, long after his presidency.

In 2017 I was glad that President Trump didn’t follow through on his bombastic threats against Hillary Clinton. Defeated at the polls, the best thing for Hillary, who I don’t like at all, not even a little bit, was to let her stew in the disappointment of her own loss. As a matter of fact, I even hoped Trump would pardon her for the emails and all the rest just to permanently cast all that stuff aside so we could move on.

A lot of people would love to have seen Hillary Clinton in an orange jumpsuit.

And here we are. Just as in the way Harry Reid shitcanning the filibuster over judicial nominees came back to bite Democrats when it came to Trump SCOTUS nominees, the viciousness and vindictiveness that Democrats are showing toward Trump, post presidency, will come back to bite them. Between the Jan 6th hearings and now this raid in what is supposedly part of a dispute over classified documents, but which is obviously a fishing expedition looking for anything that might damage Trump, Democrats have inspired a new, far less diplomatic attitude in me toward all this.

By nuking the filibuster, Harry Reid enabled tyrannical majorities evermore in the USA

Post-Biden, I hope Republicans are absolutely ruthless and vicious toward “the big guy”, his family, his staff, and all corrupt Democrats even tangentially connected to him. I hope I get to see some of these filthy bastards in shackles. I hope Biden and his corrupt son are ruined financially by a mountain of lawyer’s bills as they try to defend their corruption. I hope the incoming Justice Department will turn Merrick Garland’s life upside down, examining every phone mail, text, email, meeting note, calendar entry, and other record looking for even the flimsiest of evidence of the political hit job he is attempting to do on Trump right now. I want to see Christopher Wray and every single FBI official who is party to this fired for cause.

Merrick Garland is showing by his actions as US Attorney General us that he is far too small a man to be a SCOTUS Justice.

We don’t raid former president’s home over disputed documents. We just don’t. And we don’t go fishing to destroy our political enemies, at least not using the criminal justice and law enforcement apparatus of the federal government to do so. At least we didn’t used to. I guess now we do.

Has Biden inflation impacted your travel plans? No worry. No need to travel. Joe Biden is bringing a Banana Republic right to your door.

The ghost of Harry Reid says hello, and welcome to Banana Republic, USA. Oh, by the way, I plan to make a donation to Donald Trump today. He wasn't my first choice for 2024. He is now.

Trump for President 2024 - 8/9/2022

Up until early yesterday evening, my position on 2024 has been that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is my first choice, and while I would prefer he not run, that I will vote for President Donald Trump if he is the nominee.

This morning that's all changed. Why? Because last night President Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and FBI Director Christopher Wray descended my beloved country to banana republic ststus, behaving more like third world dictators than leaders of a constitutional republic. They have exhibited behavior more fitting for Vladimir Putin, Adolph Hitler, or Joseph Stalin. The party that loves vaccines more than liberty went full evil despot tyrant last night in an attempt to inoculate us from another Trump presidential term.

Unacceptable. This act was a declaration of war against not just Trump, but against those of us who supported him and his America first, Make America Great Again movement. Where I had been wishy-washy about Trump 2024, I was never and am not the least bit ambivalent about putting America first or MAGA.

The Biden presidency is a failure on every level. The only thing he's good at is not being Trump. And he's not Trump. He's not as smart as Trump. He's not as decisive as Trump. He's not as effective as Trump. Joe Biden isn't as effective as even Joe Biden was 15-20 years ago. He is a shell of a man, a puppet on a string, a true "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" kind of a guy who allows leftist activist operatives trample on longstanding US traditions, for example the treatment of ex-presidents.

Yesterday morning when I woke I was a DeSantis 2024 supporter. This morning I am a Trump 2024 supporter. Fuck the Democratic Party. Fuck the DOJ. Fuck the FBI. Fuck the Deep State. Fuck the GOP establishment. Fuck Joe Biden. Fuck Merrick Garland. Fuck Christopher Wray. And fuck this new vaccine they rolled out last night, an inoculation against Donald J Trump for President, 2024. It's time. Time to donate, volunteer, demonstrate, to speak up and to speak loudly and clearly. It's time to get out the vote. First, to undermine these tyrannical thugs in 2022, and then to elect Donald Trump in 2024. I hope he announces his candidacy this morning.

Liar in Chief - 8/8/2022

 

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Joe Biden: I'm not gonna raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000.

I knew that he was lying when he said it. Many of you knew he was lying when he said it, too. Those of you who didn't know he was lying know now that he lied to you.

"No new taxes" was George H. W. Bush's downfall. Why don't Biden's supporters hold him similarly accountable? My hunch is because they don't care. They don't look at his failures or deceits critically at all. Trump is evil, and can do no good. Biden is not Trump, and therefore is above criticism or reproach.

Here's some fun facts to close this morning: According to Forbes, there are 735 billionaires in the USA. President Biden is hiring 87,000 new IRS agents, or 118 new agents per billionaire. He's NOT hiring them to squeeze more money from those billionaires if you ask me. Just like under his mentor, President Obama, these new IRS agents will be used as political warriors to take on the left's enemies, which includes me and a lot of you.

On Brittney Griner, Not in Kansas Anymore - 8/7/2022-3

Brittney Griner

Honestly, I don't care that Brittney Griner is black, gay, or that she won't stand for the National Anthem. Color is a thing to a lot of people, but it ain't my thing. So she did some Black Lives Matter shit. I believe Black lives matter. I don't support Black Lives Matter. Some people can't make a distinction. I do. You don't like it? Tough crap. If you ask me Black lives do matter AND the Black Lives Matter group are socialist, communist, terrorist, and anti-white-racist in behavior.

Sexual preferences seems to be a cause for obsession for some people, them that feel it's an abomination and somehow impacts their lives, and also for some LGBTQ types who act as if only taking a near activist stand on the issue can prove one NOT a homophobe. I'm neither. You live your life and love who you want. The fact that Brittney Griner has a wife? WTF does it have to do with anything? To me, nothing. I've heard some speculate that Brittney Griner is trans. Maybe so. That's her business, although if she's M-F trans, some genetic women have been treated unfairly by having to compete with a guy on the basketball court. That's "if", by the way. I don't know and I don't care.

Brittney Griner broke Russian law. She should have known better, in fact I bet she did/does know better when she did it. What she did was bring a very American view of the law, law enforcement, and criminal justice to a foreign land where the American system has no bearing. I remember in 1979 I got orders to Okinawa, the USMC had me attend a class. I was taught that Okinawa is Japan, not Kansas. As in, "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." Well, Brittney has lived in Russia before. She knew the rules. She fucked up. Badly.

I'm not spiteful or vindictive. Did Brittney Griner disrespect our flag and veterans? Fuck yes she did. That's her right. I stop short of applauding her for exercising that right, but I have to say it is her right.

I hear some say it's incumbent on the US Government to do something to help her to gain her release. Ironically, the same people saying this would say someone like me who supported President Trump are Putin puppets and ridiculous nonsense like that. Well, who is advocating we kiss Putin's ring and ass, and genuflect before him to win the release of Brittney Griner?

Me? I'm not saying she should rot in prison for the entire 8 or 9 years. But neither would I agree with selling out US interests to gain her release. There's plenty of people in Kansas who need help. Help them. Brittney Griner is NOT in Kansas anymore.

Shipping Them North - 8/7/2022-2

Migrants are being bused from border states to blue cities up north.

I think it's great. You call yourselves "sanctuary cities". Now you're crying because your status as a sanctuary city is being utilized. Suck it up, buttercups. You wanted all these migrants to be here illegally? They're yours. House them. Clothe them. Feed them. Provide them medical care, schools, and social services. You asked for it. You got it.

To the border state governors: Please distribute ALL the people entering our country illegally to sanctuary cities and states. All of them.

We Need 87,000 New IRS Agents Because..... - 8/7/2022

In my family, I take care of our taxes. I pay every penny we owe, every year. I don't fudge, sneak, or cheat. But somehow, the addition of 87,000 new IRS agents makes me feel like a target. Why do the socialists in Washington feel like we need them, and what is it that makes me feel targeted?

We'll spend more on 87,000 new agents than those agents will reap in extra revenue.

1. "The rich aren't paying their fair share." What's fair is surely subjective, and the definition of rich is very much dependent on where you are on the income spectrum. I'm sure I am rich to some people. I don't think I am, and I worked and saved and saved and worked and sacrificed for what we have. To the people who think I'm rich and aren't paying my fair share, go fuck yourselves. Get a better fucking job. Work your ass off. Stick to it under incredible stress. Move your family multiple times across the country to realize modest success and security. If you haven't done that, cry me a river. It's your fucking fault, not mine.

2. "Everybody with money cheats... they take advantage of loopholes in the tax code." OK, listen up. Not everybody cheats. Not near as many a you think. And loopholes are loopholes. Taking advantage of loopholes isn't cheating. You're just too stupid and too jealous of people who made themselves successful while you got fired for attendance or attitude or lack of commitment from shitty job after shitty job, some of us went to night school, endured shitty assignments, and moved ourselves up the job food chain. Or maybe you quit without a better job already lined up because, well, because you're a fucking quitter. The fact that there were deductions for my cross country moves, for work related education, etc. doesn't make me a cheater. Just because you have been told it's impossible to get ahead and because YOU didn't sacrifice the way I did to advance yourself don't make me a cheater. These cheating accusations are mostly bullshit and target small business owners and others who have found even modest success.

3. "We need the extra revenue these new agents will generate through additional audits to cut the deficit." You're shitting me, right? Republican and Democrat alike will spend proportionally more for any and every extra dollar that may be raised. I suspect less will be raised than the cost of 87,000 new unionized, Federal government employees. 87,000 additional unionized, Federal employees. 87,000 additional unionized, Federal employees. Adding 87,000 to the Democrat voting block. And while we're at it, let's locate them in states and municipalities where Democrats need the extra votes.

How about this instead? Simplify the damned tax code. There's no reason things need to be this complicated. Cut Federal spending where it is wasteful. Spend less for the same shit. You can't convince me that the new VA Hospital being constructed in Louisville, KY, for example, isn't costing us FAR, FAR more because it is a federally funded project than what the exact same building and facility could be done privately. Didn't Trump prove this with a Post Office or something in D.C. before he was President? 87,000 new auditors to watchdog all federally funded project(s) wasteful spending would save us at least as much as they will gain us by auditing "rich" people's tax returns. You'd have a hard time convincing me different.

I pay my taxes. All of them. I do not fear an audit. If I ever made a mistake and knew it, I corrected it and sent a check. That has happened exactly twice in my life. I feel targeted by this, nonetheless. Why? Because Democrats are the party of class and race warfare. I'm an honest person who worked hard and it's easier to call the path I took, which most of the critics don't have the fortitude, aptitude, nor attitude to do themselves, unfair and privileged. Well, if you think that, fuck you. Get a better fucking job. Better yourself. Quit fucking complaining about me and what I have. It was there for your taking. Quit listening to the hucksters who told you is wasn't. And quit listening to teachers who tell you it's impossible to get ahead because the whole system is so unfair. They're knowingly or unknowingly feeding you a line of bullshit. And if you do work hard like I did and achieve some measure of success, they'll come after yours just like they are mine. Join with me in wishing them a very loud and enthusiatic, "Go fuck yourself!"
