Didja see what I did there?
March 14th AM: t-Rump Tweets that his military, police,
and bikers will get tough on opponents.
March 14th PM: 49 people killed in New Zealand by professed
t-Rump acolyte.
March 15th: t-Rump deletes tweet.

Regarding the New Zealand shooting and every other
mass slaughter that involves religion over the thousands
of years of recorded hostory:
Religion makes people a target of monsters.
The pious place their faith in imaginary beings
and all it does
is just piss-off other beleivers of other imaginary
beings.
Religion doesn't do good things in the name of god,
it does good things because the vast majority of humans
ARE good. But monsters like Hitler and Trump
and ISIS
will
burn
the devout every time as the fuel that illuminates
their egos.
Stop worshipping nothing. Grow up.
The air is fresh and clear outside of the religious
bubble.

Here are some fun facts from Harper's Index:
Of the 20 poorest U.S. Congressional districts, 16
are governed by Republicans.
Of the 20 most prosperous districts, 20 are governed
by Democrats.
Of statewide elections in the Deep South, 97% have
been won by Republicans since 2008.
Fake news on Facebook in 2016 was shared 18% of the
time by Republican users but only 3.5% of the time
by Democratic users.
In Spring of 2018 63% of Americans said that they were
concerned with global warming. In Fall of 2018 that
number had risen to 72%
And since 1975 the percentage of Americans holding
hunting licenses have declined almost 40%.
Draw your own conclusions. (Or double-check these findings,
though Harper's is pretty reliable.)

It didn't surprise me one bit to learn that rich kids
were able to buy their way into prestigious colleges.
It TOTALLY surprised me that someone could go to jail
for it.
This is Golden-Rule America, after all, where he who
has the most gold makes the rules.

One of the smartest, wittiest women I've ever encountered
is radio pundit Randi Rhodes. I've been listening to
her programs since 2004 because no one unravels the
day's events like she can.
I mention her because she once lost her radio program
at Air America in 2008 because she called Geraldine
Ferraro and Hillary Clinton "whores". On
stage. During a comedy routine. In a comedy club. One
in which her fans paid to attend. It was a thing called "humor".
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson has been recorded saying
MUCH worse things about women and minorities during
public interviews and he wasn't being funny. He was
dead serious. And he still has his job at Fox News.
The lesson here is that progressives are held to a
MUCH higher standard of decency than conservatives <Cough
Al Franken vs Donald Trump cough> because conservatives
HAVE no standards of decency. It's all about making
a buck.
That being said I now invite you to listen to Randi's
show at randirhodes.com from 3-5PM CST Monday through
Friday. You can also find her on Youtube. Go see for
yourself if my devotion to her is misguided. (Spoiler
alert: It ain't.)

And, finally, IMPEACH THE MUTHAFUKKAH!
