Atticus's JournalLindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey---are you ready to play "Thumper"? No, I am not talking about
that cute li'l bunny in the "Bambi" movie. I'm talking about the "THUMP" you are going to make when Trump tosses you under the bus with everyone else who has failed to praise him as effusively as he believes he deserves.
Have you read this, Lindsey?
----"Trump recently asked prominent allies to tweet negative things about Graham, and he has been complaining that Graham is a hanger-on. 'Trump has said, Since [John] McCain died, Lindsey follows me around and shows up to play golf and I dont even invite him,' according to the source briefed on the conversation."
That's just a snippet from an article in "Vanity Fair". You used to be called a "good friend and close confidant". Now you are called a "hanger on"?
Not good, Lindsey. Not good at all. You have gone from "Trumper" to "Thumper".
Say "Hi" to Sessions under there, OK?
I recall having a conversation with my dad when I was 19 or 20 about how to
handle myself if I just "happened" to be in a saloon when a fight broke out. (That's the type of neighborhood I grew up in and I make no apologies for it) Dad's advice was, of course, "If at all possible, leave and take anyone you care about with you.
"Ok," said I, "but what if some karate guy squares off against me?" ( This was in the era when karate first became a "thing" and a lot of guys my age were really into it ) I was mostly joking, but added the flourish of a mini-karate chop to my question.
"That's not the guy you have to worry about" Dad said with a patient smile. "Chances are, one pop to the nose and he's done. The guy you really need to be afraid of is the older guy with scarred knuckles who doesn't say a word as he looks you straight in the eye and just---keeps---coming. If he won't accept an apology for whatever you said or did that pissed him off, try to break your chair over his head and then run like hell 'cause he's been hit before and the chair likely won't stop him."
It seems to me that Trump is the strutting loudmouth who thinks that striking a pose and screaming "HAI! KARATE!" is all he needs to do to intimidate his opposition. But, many of us have our share of scars and we've sure as hell been "hit before". This fight isn't anywhere near over, Donny boy, 'cause we'll just---keep---coming.
What "rules"?
We have the "Greatest Page" and our "DUzys" and we often see nominations for "Tweet of the Day",
but I'd like to propose another award category: the "Box O' Rox" award. This coveted award would be reserved for Trumpers and their ilk who say or write things that are SO outrageously stupid, SO grotesquely ignorant, that they earn the descriptor "dumber than box of rocks".
If someone were to say that "injecting disinfectants" might cure Covid 19, well, that right there is a slam dunk "Box O' Rox" winner.
"The GOP is the party of---(snort!)---personal---(hee-hee-hee----gasp---wheeze!) RESPONSIBILITY!" Hoo-boy! That's a sure fire winner.
"Promises made, promises kept!" ----- come to think of it, instead of Box O' Rox, maybe this should be the "Crock O'--------------never mind.
Was it just a matter of timing or was this OP just lame?

"A MAGA Shade of Fail"---by Protocol Scare 'em
They danced the right wing tango
As they voted to acquit
I thought that I might be sick
But, then, in just a bit
The Donald turned to blackmail
In a phone call to Ukraine
And, his claim the call was perfect
Just confirmed that he's insane!
But, all this happened later
After Mueller told his tale
That Barr, at first just ghastly,
Turned a MAGA shade of fail.
After reading the memo from Trump's doctor, I have a question. Since I believe that the
"potential benefits" of blonde hash "outweighs the relative risks", if I find a doctor who agrees with me I can visit Alice legally, right?
This may be a little "Hokey".
We vote Joe Biden in
We kick that Trump guy out
We vote Joe Biden in
'Cause he knows what it's all about
We throw Trump in the pokey and we never let him out
That's what it's all about!
"It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall!"
To those in Trump's employment:
You KNOW he's going down, right? I mean, yeah, intelligence and judgment aren't exactly requirements to get in Trump's ass-kissing line, but surely most of you aren't THAT stupid! You surely understand that, historically, tyrants and their wannabes never "end well". The fortunate ones get to slink away in disgrace, but some die in prison and some---well, let's just say their exits from the world stage are "more colorful".
And, Trump's supporters---those who helped him rape and plunder---what is in their---YOUR--- future? Do you really think there are enough fascist/racist/white supremacist/homophobic/religious nut-job enterprises to hire all of you? Do you believe any other type of employer will want to be associated with someone who knowingly assisted the maniac who suggested injecting "disinfectants" while tens of thousands of us died?
I have a possible escape route for a handful of you, but I doubt you have the spine it would take to choose this path. If you publicly resign, disavow the Don and BLOW THAT DAMN WHISTLE on all of the corrupt CRAP you witnessed or took part in while being a "good German" in Trump's service, you just might be able to regain enough credibility to avoid both prison and being spat on each time you are recognized for the rest of your days. One way or another, the piper must be paid.
