Well. All in all, we are in and out of this blog deal, trying to vent, opinionate, share, object, let loose and make fun, et cetera. I find that pictures with words quite often illustrate things best. You get the best of both worlds. Images that cannot be ignored and show visual displays which we can relate to in many ways. Words that guide the direction and gives pause to all being presented.
I have made this a visual and verbal short enlightening journey. A mix of commentary, comedy, and inspiration is what all this is led to, inclusively!
This is bred from Mad TV, the hit comedy skit show that ran 14 seasons. One of those were making light of the President Clinton Administration in league with Seinfeld, and was aptly named, Clintfeld. In that one, they came up with the best strategy, and something I think is distantly relative to now, that the administration was to promise nothing, which covers itself in a catch-22 scenario. If you promise nothing and deliver on nothing. What is the backlash?
Nothing! It was the greatest thing since there wasn’t any criticism for anything because nothing was ever done. Come to think about it, I believe Trump and his friends came in with the same thing. What are they doing? Nothing. Promised a lot, so it conflicts with that plan.
This group that invaded the White House and our Federal Government are like cockroaches…
Hard as hell to get rid of and even if that is accomplished, you may still have some around somewhere. Can we eradicate the infestation? Time will tell, along with the will and the actions of We The People! Nancy Pelosi might actually get an exterminator to do the job. Might be necessary!
The Grand Ol’ Party (GOP). Wow!
It is amazing how the evolution of things takes place and the results of the same, quite often very contradicting in all. President Lincoln would be simply blown away to see where things have led. We elected many Republicans throughout time and in many levels of government, but most have always had a ‘code’, an unwritten understanding of conduct, also a sense of exactly how far anyone could go in the quest for their agenda. Enter the world created by President Trump and his Administration, inclusively and exclusively.
Donald Trump didn’t make any bones about his intentions and much of what he would employ in order to make his agenda become a reality and a desire to cultivate what he had created into a new order, if one will indulge at least the ideology at hand.
He has managed to disregard almost anything that came across his path and in many ways that other presidents and their people would even think of doing. Right now, he would like to arrest his political opponents. His false sense of impunity is remarkable. It is too bad that his methods are based in self interests that do not serve to the benefit of most Americans.
This is his ‘right hand man’. Mitch McConnell is so bent on power and had opposed almost everything that has been brought to him from the House and to the Senate. He has done no less than his boss, President Trump, except with silent composure and diligence. There is little that this man has really done for the American People and especially a majority of hard core supporters in Kentucky. Many live on food stamps, have dirt floors with no flowing water. What has McConnell done for them? I couldn’t find one thing whatsoever except to guarantee them the right to bear arms (many hold that very dear), keep their culture of alcohol and hate and...well it stops right there! Outside of the mentioned. Zilch! And yet they support him, though it defies logic. Many things do, so go say no. And do so when you vote, because that can be your answer to him and those like him in tandem with fellow citizens that have had enough. NO!

Enter the world of the Attorney General. Bill Barr has done nothing less than finding loopholes that allow the administration to act with carte blanche! Nothing can stop Trump or those in concert with him from doing what they want, when they want, and relying on the fact that impeachment and the lack of it has led to an ‘anything goes atmosphere’.
Barr proves that laws are just on paper and don’t affect him and what his desire is, that being protecting Trump and his endeavors in the weirdest ways possible.
He has set the mode that follows along the lines that ‘it’s only cheating if you get caught’, followed by, ‘and if caught, do it anyway.’ With hubris like that, he has also in his actions demonstrated this. ‘We’ve taken over in 2016. Got a problem with that?’
We all have a problem and nothing but problems with that totally. Voting is soon!
And where in the hell did they dig up Postmaster General Louis De Joy? I cannot feature how he could have done what he has done. Just being connected with Trump is one thing, but to be hired to sabotage USPS machines, misdirect and delay mail, along with other jungle tactics, has led to a distrust with him, obviously. Will he pay for his dastardly deeds? We’ll see. The wheels are in the works and he isn’t immune, as is anyone else, to answer and respond for all actions.
Those men are to answer. The problem with those mentioned and those around them is straight answers. We can’t get that from lies, distortions, projections, and generalized statements. The latter being Trumps best skill. He baffle us and does so many things all the time, it’s hard to pinpoint what he is addressing, talking about and being able to follow him when he tries to make a cryptic point. The man is articulate when he is not in fear of something. That changes when he is challenged. Fight or flight is his thing.

Trust? Ha! Ha! Get real! Even some of his supporters and those at state and local levels are near a distrust level. I have dropped off my mail ballot at the country building as opposed to mailing it due to distrust of the USPS, courtesy of Trump and De Joy. Just for that alone, they should face charges.

When trust is destroyed, all else that follows will entail no merit. People in general have lost much of this not only with President Trump and the Feds, it goes right down to state and local politicians and their shenanigans. There are so many that are taking cue for the ‘Almighty’ (Trump), such as no shut downs in March, or tacit ones that didn’t cover anything important. Results? Around 210,000 or more dead (it is hard to keep up with the figures). Most of those hardest hit, red states and localities! The very same anti masker people that claimed liberty in not donning masks, washing hands constantly or just being logical and recognizing the COVID-19 as a threat. They listened to a man not qualified to make a professional assessment and action concerning a pandemic. And it remains A PANDEMIC!

All it all, we have had people that should never have held the positions that they have and still do, plain and simple. A government that cares for their own does the exact opposite that this one has done and is doing, which again, is basically nothing!
The Pied Piper is leading the rats and they follow because they are lost and need that beacon to pursue. It equates to security on many levels. Too few have challenged that in the camp for they fear any dissension on their part will lead to their destruction. However, if we ever want to restore honor and transparency in our beloved country, we must oppose all mentioned. The vehicles needed to keeping democracy a reality are there, we just need the will, effort and unity to do it effectively. I am confident that so many people are either opposed right from the start to those that may have voted Republican, but are have severe doubts. Most want to be on the ‘common good train’ and I am one of them. We board that train and let us get to our destination, then all else will follow.
There is only loss in not trying to do what is needed to restore democracy and learn from the mistakes made, vowing never to repeat the same thing!
