It is proof of my naivete and cockeyed idealism that I am still amazed that the very same Republican

whores who spent four years ignoring the corruption and perversion of the Trump regime's DOJ are now in high dudgeon as they excoriate the Biden DOJ with---put your drink down---"politicizing" the FBI.

I know it is terribly ignorant and "quaint", but this unabashed projection still angers and disgusts me.

Some "bad mood" haikus---

Yet another year
has evaporated in
the heat of my fear

Grey January
kindles the flames of worry---
will I see the spring?

When frost times the pane
and the world beyond is grey
minds welcome numbness

On this winter day
my heart's hearth lies dark and cold
and ice rims my soul

Will my winter end?
Will I know June's warmth again?
Am I past caring?

When April returns
and greens the trees will I have
winter in my heart?

When one's springs number
more than three score and ten, then
each bud is precious

The Republican response to the SOTU mention of their intent to flush Social Security and Medicare

"in a nutshell":

"Ya' know that stuff we said on video or in writing about "sunsetting" Social Security and Medicare or "pulling them up by the roots? Well, we did not say anything like that!

Now that that is settled, can we please move on to IMPORTANT issues like Hunter's laptop?"

Obviously, Gov. Huckabee-Sanders sorely misses her days as tfg's "Fluffer in Chief".

She slipped back into her DJT-monogrammed kneepads last night just "for old times sake".

I'll leave that where it fell.

I did not think the day would come when we had to consider the possibility of our POTUS

being attacked by a member of Congress while delivering his State of the Union address.

It should come as no surprise that the same "law enforcement officers" who "have no choice" but to

support and enforce laws requiring a 10-year-old raped by her uncle to carry his child to term suddenly discover the authority to use their "inherent discretion" to find a law banning assault weapons "unconstitutional" and, therefore, ignore it.

Fascist bastards in uniform.

RESIST!
