Not Surprised...just really angry.

  I think what is angering me the most, outside of you know…all the stuff that Trump has done in the last year, is that I’m not even surprised. That’s what this has come to…it’s not surprising. It’s alarming, it’s terrible, it should absolutely not be happening, but it’s not as if I can’t believe it’s happening. Not after everything that’s been going on.     

     This isn’t a Nevertheless. It’s not about my writing. Honestly, it’s not even about politics. It’s about being pissed off and completely and totally fed up with this crap.  ICE is still in Chicago, even though they are supposed to be leaving, but thank the higher power that the judges have finally started regulating that, I suppose. They are still a hate group. And just to let you all know, one was arrested in Minnesota in a sting operation to catch pedophiles. When he was arrested, he told them, “But, I’m with ICE.” Okay, so you are a bigot, a pedophile, and I hope you rot in hell for eternity. There’s really nothing else to say to you. ICE is also now in Charlotte, North Carolina, where kids are afraid to go to school, which, by the way, the Department of Education is also being dismantled. But we don’t seem to be able to notice that because of all the other crap that is going on. 

    The Epstein files are finally going to be released…hopefully. And no, those are not a hoax. Those are not made up. To call them such is an insult to the victims who have already suffered so much. And in those 20k pages, there are several things that stick out, things that need to be addressed, but I’m going to ask one question. Just one. Epstein was the scum of the earth. He was evil. What he did to people, children, young girls, women, what he did was absolutely abhorrent, and as far as I am concerned, there is no punishment great enough for him in the afterlife. He hated Donald Trump. It’s obvious from the emails and the way he talks about him. Now, how awful do you have to be for someone that awful to hate you? Not just hate you, but call you evil and murderous? Think about that for a second. Let it sink in. Epstein…a terrible person. He thought Trump was evil. That should tell you all you need to know. But clearly, it does not. Not for some people, apparently. Or they just have no empathy and compassion for the victims of Trump and Epstein. And yeah, I said Trump, too. He’s a convicted rapist. He was involved with Epstein. There’s no way he didn’t have a hand in all that. If you truly believe he wasn’t involved, clearly you aren’t paying attention.

Then, there is the whole “Quiet Quiet Piggy.” Bro, as a woman, I just want to say ‘fuck all the way off.’ And then I want to draw attention to the fact that this was a moment that, from what I have seen on social media, triggered so many women. Because it’s the moment he went from just a regular asshole to the abusive asshole we all know he really is, but he actually let it be seen. And because a woman asked him a question, he didn’t like it. This wasn’t condensation towards a female journalist; this was an actual attack on someone because he wanted to put her in what he believes is her place. God forbid anyone ask him an uncomfortable question, and a woman at that. Except, women are those pushing back against him. After this incident, Mary Bruce, a reporter for ABC News, asked a question at the White House that he didn’t like, and he called her network “Fake News. One of the worst.” Are you ready to hear the question he didn’t like, while he was sitting next to his good friend, Mohammed bin Salman (more on that wtf-ism in a moment), the crown prince of Saudi Arabia? 

“Is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you’re president? Is that a conflict of interest? And, your royal highness, the US intelligence community) concluded you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you? And the same to you, Mr. President.”

Trump didn’t let her finish; he tried to talk over her, but Mary Bruce, like the amazing woman and reporter she is, finished her question before answering where she worked. Trump then threatened ABC’s broadcasting license…again. For actual reporting. Because someone was brave enough to stand up to him. Also, he said, 

“You start off with a man who is highly respected, asking him a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. And you could even ask that same question nicely.”

Okay, now, let’s back the fuck up here (today’s blog is full of swearing, but I am livid). He just said she should have asked the question “nicely.” The hell does he want? A Please? No! Absolutely not. Because this man, whom Donald Trump went on to defend, is Salman. From NPR:

"You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial," Trump said, referring to Khashoggi. "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And would you leave it at that? You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question.”

It doesn’t matter how controversial Khashoggi was. What matters is that he was murdered by the Saudi government in 2018. The operation was greenlit, according to the CIA, by Trump’s new bestie, the crown prince. You know the same guy and government who was also a supporter of the terrorists who crashed planes into the Twin Towers and Pentagon on 9/11. Oh, and I forgot to mention, Trump just sold them war planes. Because he’s a fucking idiot, and most of those MAGAs who are still one hundred percent behind him were singing God Bless America the loudest. 

  

  And don’t get me wrong. I’m not a fan of George W. Bush or the War on Terrorism or any of that. My emo phase started with Green Day’s American Idiot, and you can pretty much track my journey to what is now termed “Antifa” or whatever, from there. But I watched those towers fall. And I’m only thirty-five. This isn’t like it was Pearl Harbor. It happened 25 years ago next year. Don’t be bitching about New York electing their new mayor, who had nothing to do with the attacks or the terrorists who supported them, who is a genuinely good person, and then turn around and say this is okay. Because you can’t.

    If all this wasn’t bad enough, on his stupid ass Truth Social, which has zero truth, by the way, he’s calling for the death of his political opponents. Why is this okay? Why was he not impeached TODAY? Why was he not removed from office today? We can’t keep following the proper procedure and protocol with this. Trump is dangerous. It’s only a matter of time before he gets someone killed. 

    I can’t…I walked away for an hour from writing this to try to calm myself down and see if I could do it without swearing, but no. Fucking hell, this is insane. I’m not surprised it’s happening, and that in itself is a problem. If you aren’t upset, that is a problem. Letting this continue is a problem. And I’m sick of waking up every morning worrying about what the hell the idiot has done now. That’s it. That’s the blog. I don’t even want to type up a conclusion because I’ve said everything I need to say. The rest is up to you to take away from this rant whatever you want. Hopefully, it’s a desire to see less of this awful mess, but I can’t tell you what to think.
