High Prices? Vote Blue!

Remember a few years ago when people complained about the shipping problems that were raising prices?  Biden fixed those, and prices came back down.

Remember during the COVID crises when gas prices were up? Biden fixed that and gas prices came back down. 

When the Democrats were in power, they heard the complaints of the people and worked on solutions to fix them.

Under the current orange regime, there is no attempt to fix problems. 

In fact, often Dementia Don makes fun of them. He'll tell a little joke and brag about how much money he is making. But he never offers any solutions.

So to pound this message home and remind people that they need to change things by voting out the republican party. Below are some memes about the problems, about price comparisons and to show the difference between your choices this election.

 

What? Too much? Sure that's a lot of memes about how prices have gone up like crazy since DJT took office, but it seems to be needed to drive the point home. He doesn't care about you, the average voter. He doesn't have any idea how to fix the problems. He doesn't intend to do anything about it anytime soon. All he cares about is making himself richer. The sooner that sinks in to everyone, even his ardent supporters, the better chance we have to start to turn things around. To do that, we need to vote out all the Republicans who support and empower him. 

This election, Vote Blue.

We're Going Backwards

Late on Friday nights when I’m safely home (admittedly after a few beers) I like to play music videos on the DVD player. Often they're 80s videos, some are hard rock, i.e. AC/DC (which annoys the neighbors because you have to play those loud), or sometimes just a few “chill music” vids because I need to calm down.

However, one of my favorites is Lionel Richie's “All Night Long.” Invariably though this depresses me. It reminds me how we are going backwards nowadays.

The song is about how you can be so strongly moved by something (music) that you just have to keep going. Party all night long. The dancers wear very colorful outfits, surely meant to make a subtle point, and are multi-racial. The dancing includes a wide range of styles with various mixtures of couples.

This was back in the 80s where it was slowly becoming common and acceptable to see a black man dance with a white woman, a white man tango with an Asian female, two males breakdancing together. It made it seem like things were progressing to where we could all live together in harmony.

Then Trump came along and infested the White House. 

Although we knew there were a lot of racists in our country, they at least had become reticent to express it in public. Unlike the old days where Jim Crow was normalized, racism had become a social deviation, something kept quietly amongst a person's cohort or family. Not something you could bring out in public without facing public derision.

Trump enabled racists. Emboldened them. He has tried to make it acceptable in polite society, and criticized those who challenge him as weak-wristed Libtards or overly PC elites.

Thanks to him, we see an increase in right-wing, racist organizations, demonstrators who are unafraid of public shame chanting abusive, racist slogans and public displays of offensive comments to anyone who looks foreign or of a different race than Anglo-Saxon whites. Even the Republican Party seems to have embraced the Trump vitriol and become largely the party of white males.

Although we've had problems with police interactions with civilians, as I noted in my blogs “Tips for Tourists” and “Police reform Part I & II” I don't think we've seen this level of police violence toward minorities since before the 70s. It's as if they are acting as Trump's agents of violence that he often spews at his pep, excuse me, "campaign" rallies.

I long for the days when we could dance the night away regardless of our race, religion, political affiliation or whatever.  

Sure, the video is a make-believe world, but it was a world where people lived together peacefully, where differences were immaterial, where people could dance together in harmony. A world we need to find again.

Ahh, James Thurber

Okay, yes, this is a rerun from August 2019. However, racism, misogyny and hatred of others has gotten worse. It's because the guy in the White House (I don't like to use his name) has made it all acceptable. He's made it so that people who would have been ashamed to express or act in such a manner find it okay to come out of hiding. In the 80s it seemed like we were making so much progress and now it's like we're set back decades. So it is worth sounding the alarm again if it might help slow down this devolution. Make America tolerant again.

 

 

Dementia Don

"If Biden did that, the news media would be screaming 24/7 that he is too old and should be removed from office."

How often do you hear that phrase when someone talks about the antics of Dementia Don? It's daily.

It could be after you hear about him standing up at a meeting with oil CEOs and going to the window to look out and comment about his ballroom.

It could be after he falls asleep during a live press conference, or at a cabinet meeting, or at a large gathering. He does it a lot.

And his speeches sure haven't improved. He's even more scatological and incoherent as usual. One second he'll be talking about how Biden is why the world is upside down and next he'll launch into how mirrors are in the wrong place everywhere.

Because of his huge ankle swelling he can no longer walk in a straight line. At least, that's a forgiving explanation of his ambling walk. If it was Biden the MSM would say it was because he's so old he is one step away from a wheelchair.

He's also been caught on film cussing at protestors or even giving the finger to someone who rubbed him the wrong way. Just like a cranky, dementia addled old man would behave--not a president. 

The only recourse is he should be thrown out of office using the 25th Amendment. A legal way to remove a president who is incapable of leading a country due to physical or mental incapacity. 

Sadly, this won't happen because he's put in his cabinet people who, besides being unqualified, are loyal to him, not to the well being of this country.  They would rather see the country spiral into chaos than do anything to upset Dear Leader. 

So we're stuck with him. Personally, I'm hoping for a stroke.

 

Release the Epstein Files

The Orange Blob (I resist using his name) who sits in the White House is a sexual predator and a pedophile.  I say that blatantly because there are countless brave women who have come forward and stated that. Most have been paid off so that they won't go to court against him. At least one did take him to court and now he has a huge bill to pay because of it. 

That he hasn't had criminal charges against him testifies to how corrupt and biased our judicial system is today. It clearly favors the rich and those with some semblance of power. If someone like me or Joe the Plumber were to have done the deeds of his Orange Largeness, we'd be sitting in prison for the rest of our lives. 

 So although I can't do anything about the Man with Orange Makeup, I can at least blog about his malfeasance. So below are just a few of the thousands of memes created by other outraged souls who feel helpless against a system that lets this happen. 

Feel free to share these extensively. 

 

What? You think that is overdoing it? Maybe you are not taking this issue seriously enough.  Release the files!

 

Ah, James Thurber
