Impeachment 2: This Time, It's Personal

Well, I think it's pretty obvious that I'm going to have something to say about today's events, so away we go.

All Lives Don't Matter

So... #BlackLivesMatter has pretty much taken over the world.  Sports leagues are paying respects before games are being played.  Massive discussions are taking place about police brutality and possible reforms of the system.  It may actually be that America is finally facing a day of reckoning when it comes to racism.

This post, however, will not be about that.  This post will be about the hypocrisy of the movement's tone-deaf cousin, #AllLivesMatter.

The World Burns

George Floyd murdered by cops.  Idiot in White House stoking flames.  COVID-19 still rages.  It's all going wrong...

To Hell With Freedom

Alright, I've been stewing a little bit... off to the races.

Shak Your Booty

OK, to bridge the gap a little, I'm going to talk about one subject that my brother Ray and I can agree on:  Hotness.

The Ultimate Troll Job

You've gotta be kidding, right?

Over Here: Look at the Dancing Monkey!!! (Oh, and Over Here, Impeachment)

Well, that's just great.  The guy in the Oval Office is gearing us up for war in Iran.  Yay.

Guns a Go Go

I haven't posted in a long time.  I should have known that a story about a shooting would have pissed me off enough to get back to my keyboard.

Dateline, White Settlement, TX: December 29th.

Sunday church services.  Nut waltzes in and kills two people with a shotgun.  Within six seconds, he's shot and killed by an armed congregant.  Naturally, the gun rights people are loving this.  Which is a little disturbing.

Major Meltdown

Serena Williams is the greatest female tennis player of all time.  No debate.

Today, she rides ShortBus.

The Stupidity of the GOP Base

Sure, I'm pissing off half the field with that title, but I'm done being nice about this.  (Not that I ever was.)  Because as much of a game of "Us vs Them" politics is, common sense should have to kick in at some point.

Not for the Republican base.

NFL: New Fascists League

It's been almost a year since I picked up nutjobs off the street here.  Not because I've just been neglecting my job, but because it's taken a while for something to piss me off to the level of posting something.  But here we go again.  Three of my greatest hits, converging at once:  The NFL's anthem policy, the disgrace in the Oval, and guns.

Heil Trump

Donald Trump is a white supremacist.  There's no denying it anymore.

Incompetence Has a Face

The fact that someone colossally stupid could be working for Donald Trump is not, in and of itself, remotely surprising.

The fact that someone whose job it is to communicate with the media could say anything this stupid is... well... holy shit.

Goodbye, America. I Barely Knew Ye

The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave... is no longer either one.

So, the Election Happened

President Donald Trump.  Yeah.  I don't believe it either.

I don't get it.

I don't even know where to start.  But a Facebook buddy of mine gave me a jumping off point...

My Kaepernick Take: Video Edition

A couple days later, I'm still worked up over this.  So I went on a little rant, and I decided it was more than I could get across with print.  So here's me, folks.

Oh Say Can You See the Flag From the Bench

Ah, a hot-button social issue.  My wheelhouse.

Friday night, San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick made a political statement protesting racism against African-Americans.  Specifically, the rash of killings of black people by police officers.

Taking a side on big issues isn't exactly a new thing for Kaepernick.  He's been outspoken on social media before.  But he ruffled some feathers by doing it differently Friday night:  he refused to stand during the playing of the national anthem.

Curbside Dropoffs: August Edition

It's been a while.  But some things are annoying me.  So let's throw some people off the bus the way Taylor Swift throws out lies.

Pee Where You Want -- As Long As the Wind Isn't Blowing At You

I can't believe that this has become the issue that it has. 

National store chain Target has enacted a policy that transgender people can use whichever restroom or fitting room matches their identity as they define it.  This allows people who identify as male to use the men's rooms, and people who identify as female to use the women's rooms.  This is so seemingly obvious, that of course, Christian America threw a shit fit. Boycott!!!

Curb-side Dropoffs

Sometimes it takes a while for me to work up enough venom to post a big rant on any one topic.  And sometimes there are a whole lot of little things annoying me, but none of them are enough to get a blog post of their own.  What a dilemma. 

So, it's the first ever installment of Curb-Side Dropoffs.  The quick-hitters.  The passengers I barely hit the emergency brake for before shoving them onto their front lawns.  Here goes:
