Democratic Sen. Pat Leahy expressed regret Monday for not waiting for an ethics investigation before calling for Sen. Al Franken to resign, coming just hours after Sen. Joe Manchin made similar comments about the Democratic push for the Minnesota senator to step down.”I have stood for due process throughout my years as a prosecutor

When the enemy is making a mistake, do not interrupt him.

I just love how disconnected they whole party is from the idea that John and Jane Public might fins the double and triple standards hard to swallow, much less explainable. The only thing that can make this thing better is a personal statement by Hillary Clinton asking Franken no to resign.

I’m on vacation.  I am using this to catch up on season 2 of Stranger Things.  In episode 8, The Mind Flayer, I saw something that made me stop and have to post.

Dear Third Wave Feminists, Social Justice Warriors, Pajama Boys, and Soy Boys,

This is masculinity right here:

That is Jim Hopper, carrying a sleeping child and a flashlight in one arm,  providing cover with an M4 with the other, escorting the women and children out of harm’s way.

That is what it means to be a man, being a supporter, protector, and defender.

If you are dealing with a problem and are not sure how to proceed, ask yourself this question:

What would Jim Hopper do?

The answer is: say “fuck,” smoke a cigarette, do the responsible thing, then have a beer.

For 99% of life’s problems, that’s a pretty good solution.

So, I got into it online in the comments about Trump’s tax plan.  According to the tax plan calculator I will save a good bit of money, about 9 months worth of car payments for a new truck.  I’m excited by it.

Some internet shit-weasel was arguing against me in this.

I said I pay a lot in taxes and getting a break like this will help me afford a new truck (my current one is 15 years old – yes I’m still driving the ’03 Chevy I got as a college graduation present from my dad).

In all the back and forth, my anti-Trump foil shot back with “even if it does help you now, it will expire in 2025 and you taxes will go up again.”

I was blown away by this.  “Your taxes will go up seven years from now” is his argument why this is bad?

Is this how these people really think?

I hope my taxes go up in seven years.  I hope my taxes double or triple in seven years.  I’m turning 35.  I am a well educated professional.  I hope by the time I’m 42 my income has made substantial gains.  If I am making marginally more at 42 as I am at 35, my life has taken a severe turn for the worse.

An MD should double his or her salary between being a resident today and being a doctor in private practice in seven years.

A lawyer should double his or her salary between being an associate today and being a junior partner in seven years.

Then it hit me, if this guy is a Pre-Colombian Mesoamerican Lesbian Art Studies major, he’s not going to see a great gain in his income at Starbucks.

For the rest of America that didn’t piss their college tuition away on bullshit, it should be a goal in life to go up a tax bracket or two seven years from now.

From Jezebel, Shut Up Taylor Swift, Everybody Hated 2017.

The thesis of their post was: but Trump.

I liked 2017.  I got a raise in a Job I love.  I bought a house.  I paid off most of my outstanding debts.  My second child was born.  It was a pretty good year.

If you believe that 2017 was awful and everybody hated it because Trump, seek help.  This is a sign of a severe emotional problem.

Maybe it is time that some of these Blue enclaves go all Brave New World and just start dumping anti-depressants into the water like fluoride.  It might actually make everything a little bit better.

Yesterday I posted my opinion about Cuomo’s out-of-touch-with-the-middle-class bitching about the NYC tax cut.

Tuns out that because of the reduction in federal tax deductions from state and local taxes, some of the super wealthy want to bail on New York for lower tax states.

I say Trump should build a wall around Manhattan and California and keep those fuckers there.

One: Make them suffer the cost of the high tax burdens put in place by the party they support.

Two: Keep them from infecting Red states with their stupid ideology.

They voted for total Democrat control, they should be forced to face the music for their decisions.  Nothing is more out of touch elitist than voting for the party of high taxes then having the privilege to move when those taxes get too high for their liking.

The only thing dripping/falling of your beard is the blood and brain matter of the enemy skull you just cleaved…. or bacon grease.

Hat Tip Christine Z.

San Francisco is a city that is literally drowning in homeless people’s shit and disease infected drug needles, and were illegal immigrants have a free pass to murder US citizens.

No wonder the SPCA of San Francisco wanted to hire robots to roust the homeless people that were sleeping and shitting on its headquarters.

My problem at the time was that the robot was a wuss.

Well, the unarmed robot was treated just as you would expect someone unarmed, wandering around San Francisco after dark to be treated.  It was attacked, beaten up, and blinded.

However, according to SPCA president Jennifer Scarlett, within a week of the robo-narc’s first day on the job, residents of the homeless camp outside the SPCA had “put a tarp over it, knocked it over, and put barbecue sauce on all the sensors.” 

The news report didn’t say if the robot was sexually abused too, but knowing what I know about San Francisco, it probably was; and if it wasn’t that’s only because the homeless and illegals didn’t know which port to stick it in.

This is why security droids should be armed.  Nothing law abiding, living or robotic is safe in the Shit-hole by the Bay.

Maybe the robots of Knightscope need to put a call out to their cousins at Boston Dynamics to send over Atlas to go Kung-Fu the shit out of San Francisco’s homeless.

If San Francisco robots can’t carry guns, at least a flying titanium and carbon fire roundhouse kick to the face might keep Atlas from suffering the same fate.  After all, the Boston Dynamics robots know how to take care of themselves.
