Above the fold

The Devil & the Deep Red/Blue State

One needs to be underinformed, a conspiracy theorist, savvy, dumb, smart, jaded, or all of the above to believe what is swirling around us these days.

After all, how deep is the red or blue deep state?  It might depend on how deep you look.

If black lives matter, why aren’t the media and the White House condemning the ultraviolent white terror group that just attacked a predominantly black Atlanta city and its police force?  Only the funder and founder of ANTIFA really know.  Take solace in the fact that the protests were mostly peaceful.

Concerned with the now Republican-controlled House, President Biden assured Americans yesterday, “I have no intention of letting the Republicans wreck our economy.”  Nuff said we suppose.

The President’s son keeps popping up as a possible beneficiary of his rental home(his dad’s), the storage location of classified docs(his dad’s), and his last name (his dad’s).  “Hunter was obviously fed detailed information on Ukraine so he could show Burisma why he was worth millions of dollars,” said Senator Ron Johnson(R) of Wisconsin.  Johnson continued, “Was this classified information? Did Joe Biden know about this?”  The $49,910 monthly rent seems excessive at a minimum even in these transitory inflationary times.

Hiding classified documents seems to be as popular as posting a dumb video on TikTok these days.  Vegas will give you +250 that Mike Pence thinks TikTok is the sound emanating from the old Cuckoo clock in his Indiana home’s comfy den.

At least Hunter’s dad is concerned about the health of the commoners.  One of his mouthpieces fed the frenetic folks yesterday.  Busy Joe Scarborough, the MSNBC host of Morning Joe, the lapdog of wife Mika Brzezinski, and water carrier for the Democratic Party, who already got three covid shots and just got a bad case of covid, said yesterday on air he should have gotten his fourth booster to stop this from happening.

Mika sat next to him and scolded him sentence by sentence.  You can’t get enough of these free shots that aren’t free you know?

Meanwhile, if you enter “how do I reverse the effects of spike proteins?” in the Google search bar you’ll get “About 8,790,000 results (0.45 seconds).”  There seems to be some interest there.

Conspiracy theorists on Twitter believe Damar Hamlin should have used the google search bar. They contend he isn’t alive because he has yet to show his face & the NFL allegedly used a stunt double at the game to cover themselves & boost ratings.  This one seems a bit of a reach unless you are a Saints fan still healing from the no PI call four years ago in the NFC Championship Game.

Maybe help is on the distant horizon.  Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC) introduced a constitutional amendment yesterday to impose term limits on members of Congress.  This is Cruz’s third attempt after 2019 and 2021 attempts were as effective as Scarborough’s first three jabs.

The bill would limit Senators to 2 six-year terms and House members to 3 two-year terms.  A 2/3rds majority in both houses and 3/4ths of all state senates would need to vote yes to ratify it into the Constitution as an Amendment.  Such an amendment would have put Joe Biden out into the private sector about 24 years prior to his successful run from the basement for Prez in 2020.

Maybe help isn’t on the horizon.  Biden will soon announce that he is running again in 2024.

The orange-faced one who truly believes in the deep blue state has already announced that he is seeking the red side’s nomination for 2024.

Color us jaded.

Engage. Enrage. Enjoy.

  • Wow, Ted aka Theodore, aka “The Odor” is really on to something. Come to think of it, I can’t remember anything he’s introduced in 6 years that would be considered meaningful. In fact, think of all the money and savings on airtime if we adopted these limits.

    No more raising ugly money for candidates that can’t run and shouldn’t anyway. less deal making around partisan nonsense, and dry up the swamp. Hell it might even encourage more good citizens to run for office.

    Nothing is more discouraging than looking at a concrete wall of entitled politicians standing at the gate who look like Nancy Pelosi and Kentucky Mitch.

    • If it’s good for the Oval Office it should be good for all offices down the street at The Capital Building.

      • Dan didn’t understand that it wasn’t a punch of popcorn. He thought it said “Pop Secret” and he was an Orville Redenbacher fan.

        • Dan did have problems with food-said the toe mah toe.

          “You’ll like it better or my name isn’t Orville Redenbacher.” That’s the promise Orville made more than 40 years ago—and the same promise we stand by today.
