Only the best chicken farts.

The very deep did rot: O Christ!

That ever this should be!

Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs

Upon the slimy sea. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.

Well, it's been a hell of a weekend. It's safe to say that when I throw in the towel and go clean ferret cages for an hour just to clear the nastiness out of my brain by cleaning up ferret crap, things are fucked up.

 I'm talking about this, of course, it just broke a few hours ago that Micheal Cohen's other client was Sean Hannity. Judging from what I've seen since, somebody needs to take the shovel away from these two motherfuckers, they're already in a hell of a hole. They need to stop digging!

Between that and Trump's ham-handed attempts to distract from James Comey's interview and book release over the weekend, I think it's quite justified that the Syrians...people who've been blasting the shit out of each other and their own country for most of this decade so far, and who we just bombed in what might as well be called Operation Extreme Redundancy..are comparing us and our air- and missile-strikes and specifically our President (Who they call Abu Ivanka Al-Amiriki-that is, Father of Ivanka, The American) to chicken farts. 

This appears to be what the intellectual and moral fiber of American conservatism has come to....but never forget that non-voters and Third Party protest voters let this crap happen. Trump said he'd hire "Only the best people" and we'd all get the best of everything. Instead, Trump and his cronies and the Republicans are looting the country, cashing out and retiring and all we got was daily rage-Tweets and FOX News and only the best chicken farts.

Not only that, but apparently Trump warned the Russians, who warned the Syrians, who evacuated the targeted facilities, so basically we spent $240 MILLION to blow up some empty bunkers and rearrange the rubble on some Damascus streets into more pleasing patterns.

Yeah, Fuck these motherfuckers.

 Then of course, there was this little gem, some 72 year old Georgia woman assaulted two female US Army Soldiers, one of whom is African-American and pregnant, over some stupid thought that she (who isn't apparently handicapped, but she has the plate because her husband is, or something) should have got the handicapped parking space (Pregnancy, on the other hand, being a valid reason to have one of those things that hangs from the rear-view and that says you can use the space.) This lady and her dumb-ass supposedly adult son kept referring to these two ladies as lesbians (!) never mind that the one being pregnant probably would suggest otherwise... (I'm not saying it's not possible that an African American US Army Captain couldn't both be gay and want to have a kid, I'm just saying it's less likely...but in either case bear with me for a second)

...Am I the only one here who had the thought that "Lesbians" was probably not the word this dumb-ass redneck old biddy actually wanted to use? Like I said earlier on Facebook, Truman signed E.O. 9981 when this old bag was two years old. It's settled national policy. If she doesn't like the fact that a Black lady can be a Captain in the United States Army, Too. God. Damned. Bad. She can go piss up a rope. She's damned lucky, in my view, that she isn't facing more serious charges, in my state she would be. Not only that, but she's damned lucky she didn't get laid out like yesterday's laundry and end up facing more serious charges. The troop could've goddamned well busted her ass and had a 100% valid claim to self defense, Georgia be damned. That old bitch put her hands on a pregnant United States Army Officer. There's no county Prosecutor or Police Department even in Trump's America that'd risk the bad press they'd get from any other scenario. The Soldier's restraint in this case is admirable. If it'd been me, I'd have slapped her lips right off her face, and I'm normally very against hitting women. Racism is one of the few things I'll make an exception for.

As I've said many times here, the real problem with the Republican Party is the racist conservative voters. As I've said before, that makes it so that the fucking problem here is Republicans: (Note that this is painful for me to say, as I used to be one, back when being a Republican meant that you were...or could be...something other than a bigot. And there's damned few left to whom that label doesn't apply. I can remember when Bob Dole said the Racists knew where the exits were, and could get the hell out. Those days are long gone.)

Once again, these fucking idiots show that they have nothing but contempt for the military, unless the Troops in question are White hard-rightists, or unless the Armed Forces or Veterans can be trotted out for some dog-and-pony-show distraction like the Syria bombings last week or for a political dog-whistle or vendetta. I'm fucking serious, I'm sick of these motherfuckers and their hypocrisy.

If we had any person in the White House other than Donald Trump, Republican or otherwise, I'll still bet you money that this old bag's response to these women would have been nothing more than "Thank you for your service, Ma'am, have a nice day." Trump has contempt for both the Military and People of Color, so apparently that makes it OK for old-ass white people to be assholes, too.

But please, by all means, remember that this is how these fucking people want to see themselves, and the President. It's demonstrably not true. I saw it with my own eyes when Trump got up there on CNN back in 2015 and said in front of the whole damned world that he didn't think he needed God's forgiveness. But apparently Franklin Graham is either legally blind or conveniently forgetful. These motherfuckers are so desperate to see him as a reflection of what they think themselves to be in the short term that they'll piss away any credibility they may have left in the long term in order to do it. It may be convenient to believe the comforting lies, but the road to hell is paved with comforting lies and confirmation biases and convenient political amnesia.

In my lifetime, the Republican Party has gone from Morning in America and "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" to being compared to chicken farts as a measure for its weakness, by the very people that we just bombed, and despite the fact that it currently controls our government.

I find it an apt comparison, and have resolved never to get into a contest of insults with any Syrians I may encounter.

As for Republicans? Fuck these motherfuckers.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. ~Romans 1:22 (KJV)

Go ahead, look the rest of the chapter up for yourselves. I think you may find it an apt commentary on the state of America...and no, I'm not talking about the gay people when I say that. I'm specifically talking about the conservatives.
