We're living in surreal times
The Trump Sex Trial. I know of nobody who's interested in this trial and that includes even the hardcore Dems at work. Truthfully nobody wants to think about Trump having sex. The perceived martyring of Trump can only work in reverse. Uncle Joe - Russell Brand showed clips of Biden on Howard Stern's satellite show. It was strange. Biden was sitting there rather silent looking mildly bewildered and nervously holding onto the mike stand like he was on a ship. Stern who has made a career out of making fun of everyone and everything respectfully extolled the President and his accomplishments (?) thus far. Now there is serious talk of a great debate between Trump and Biden. Isn't this past Biden's bedtime? I thought he goes to bed after Wheel Of Fortune. I honestly thought he would put in one term to show what an oldster can do and that's all. Cultivate a hobby. Take hornworms off tomato plants or something. Cartoon universe.

The strange state of our union
President Trump's 2020 State of the Union Address -- I thought it in very poor taste and low rent for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to make a show of tearing up Trump's speech at the end but also thought it unjustified that Trump bestowed the Congressional Medal of Freedom on conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. I also find NBC's Chuck Todd to be the most openly biased political journalist/analyst on TV today and don't know why they have him. Getting back to Nancy Pelosi she looked a little irregular during the entire speech with a pained and disconcerted expression throughout and stood up only a few times for the more obvious consensus points Trump made. Mr. Limbaugh has cancer and the ribbon around his neck put Dems in an awkward position. I mean how do you exactly stand and clap for a guy who called liberals evil and a dark force on literally every show of his down through the years?
While there was obviously a lot jam-packed into this approximately an hour and a half long speech, the usual optimistic items elaborated by the president on the state of the union these are the two things that interested me and gave the whole night an unusual quality.
On the pro-forma impeachment acquittal in the Senate your thoughts? Some say it will become easier to impeach presidents now and that this may become more commonplace in the future. Then there's the very lonely Republican Senator from Utah Mr. Mitt Romney.

The liberal version of original sin
The House hearings on reparations for slavery. You can go on down the line. Should gays get reparations? Women? Other historically oppressed groups? What about the Indians? Or you can talk about what you want.

& the award for Best New Political Artist goes to AOC
I get the feeling Trump wins reelection in 2020 because the Democratic field is so diluted from which a real powerhouse is unlikely to emerge. What are there twenty candidates now? Cardi B may as well run. Impeachment seems not much worth it to quoth Nancy Pelosi. My mind is tired. I've moved onto other things. It might be a good thing if Maroon 5 stopped churning out new songs.

The Brett Kavanaugh Accusers
Pres. Trump's SCOTUS nominee -- Usually in cases like this, the classic HE said/SHE said I'll either side with the man (e.g. Clarence Thomas) or not have an opinion for the time being (existentially neutral or only God knows the deal). When the # of accusers increases then it becomes problematic. If you're dealing with say four or five different female accusers you can sit there and say it's a travesty against God and Justice and Country but average folk like me begin to ponder. Sure it can be some evil leftist conspiracy but......So can the FBI conduct a decent investigation in a week? Was Judge Kavanaugh even properly vetted? My own preliminary opinion: maybe go with somebody else?

Thoughts on the gun control debate (yet again)
It's amazing how fast time is going. Looking over the posting date of my last post I hadn't realized so much time had elapsed before coming up with a new idea. Sorry to my handful of fans. Liberals act like if they were in charge tragedies like the recent newsroom shooting in Maryland wouldn't have happened. Then I'm reading some hyperventilating political/social commentators extrapolating from one weird individual living in his own self-contained weird mental universe that there's some kind of male rage/war against Women. Well as one conservative blogger here said some time ago back in the day re Newtown sometimes bizarre and tragic things happen and there's almost nothing we could have done about it, nothing that could have prevented it so the whole gun control debate becomes a kind of cosmetic discussion imo. Then there's this thing about some revenge porn law that seems to have gotten stuck in the New York State Legislature that won't pass and folks are blaming Google. I'm no attorney but isn't it already illegal to post say nude pictures of myself without my consent on the Web not that you'd want to see? In our zeal to pass new laws based on the latest tragic social circumstance we should first check what's already on the books that maybe need to be better enforced. If you're having sex maybe don't leave the smartphone out? Here's the problem: reality itself is weird and bizarre and tragic things happen, sometimes rarely and in the case of guns for some reason in cycles. There are bizarre and odd individuals walking amongst us right now. All I can say and offer is don't make eye contact:)

Trump is Trump - neither conservative or liberal
In the wake of the HS massacre in Parkland, FL President Trump is now taking on the NRA and wants to get both Dems and Republicans on board in a kind of omnibus gun reform bill. Things like expanded background checks, raising the age to buy a gun to 21 and other common proposals. No this is not an alternative reality Trump was simply never that conservative to begin with. It is said that Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein had a kind of stunned smile upon hearing this. Look Trump has a hemorrhoid of a personality but that has nothing to do with baseline politics. Wonder how Michelle Malkin is taking this.
