Well, interesting. Trump told his fans at a recent rally not to bother to vote. He said he has, “plenty of votes.” He said, “You don’t have to vote, don’t worry about voting. The voting, we got plenty of votes.” Instead, he wanted them to poll-watch. But if everybody is watching Democrats vote, who’s voting for Inmate 1875150?

So on Monday, October 23, 2023 in New Hampshire, Donald J. Trump declared he already has enough votes to guarantee victory on November 5, 2024? So many, in fact, the MAGAs don’t even need to bother to vote? Zero Americans have cast a single ballot in that race. Yet he has all the votes he needs? He ALREADY has so many his MAGAs can just stand down? I wonder (Putin) where all those votes (Putin) came from (Putin)? There’s no way to know…

According to Donny, he’s a freaking genius because he “noticed” that the word “us” is spelled ‘u’ and then ‘s.’ Also, the abbreviation for the United States is ‘U’ and then ‘S.’ After dropping that deeply insightful observation on his audience, (no wonder his followers think he’s brilliant) he summed it up with, “Now, if we say something genius, they’ll never say it.”

Sure we will, Donny. Say something genius and we’ll “say it.” Hell, say something reasonably intelligent and we’ll shout it to the world. In the meantime, I must be a genius, too, because I know another word in which the letter ‘u’ appears next to the letter ‘s’: Justice! I wonder if anyone else has noticed that? The ‘u’ right next to the ‘s’ in the word ‘justice’ – something else you’re learning an awful lot about these days, isn’t it?

Mike Johnson? That’s our new House Speaker. I don’t know much about him but I DO know he voted NOT to certify the election in 2020 because he didn’t like the way it turned out. Matt Gaetz called him MAGA Mike Johnson. Gaetz said getting Johnson into the role shows “MAGA is ascendant.” He thinks it proves that MAGA is the true power of the party. Steve Scalise couldn’t prove it. Jim Johnson couldn’t prove it. Tom Emmer couldn’t prove it.

After, what, 22 days of “proving” MAGA governing ability, they’ve finally figured out a way to open the government again so they can get back to the business of shuttering the government again. Nice.

Okay, I need some help from my lawyer friends, here. One of Donny’s “lawyers,” Sydney Powell, entered a “guilty” plea for her role in Georgia during the attempt to steal the election. She assured the judge, I’m paraphrasing, that the charges and specifications against her were true and correct. She was under oath. Okay, no more paraphrasing. Here’s the actual exchange:
Judge: “Are you pleading guilty, today, because you believe there is a sufficient factual basis, that there are enough facts that support this plea of ‘Guilty?'”
Powell: “I do.”

So, she accepts her slap-on-the-wrist-for-treason punishment and walks out of court, essentially a free woman. Then she starts right in, again, claiming the election was rigged. She wasn’t charged with the lie so I can see her getting away with that but she also maintains that her prosecution in Georgia was “politically motivated” and that her guilty plea was – her word – “extorted,” suggesting she was just shining the judge on.

She STILL doesn’t think she did anything wrong in stealing voter data. She doesn’t think she should have faced consequences and she really does NOT see herself as guilty – the exact opposite of what she swore to – under oath – in open court. So here’s the question: Can’t the judge rescind the plea deal? If she lied to get it, is the judge still beholden to it? Part of her deal was that she would have to testify against her co-conspirators. What good is her testimony if everybody knows she’s lying from the second she takes the stand? Is it really THAT easy to game the courts in this once great nation?

Okay, quick hit, here. If you’re a Niner fan and you think the sky is falling, suddenly the Niners suck, and Brock Purdy really should have been ‘Mr Irrelevant,’ would you please get hold of yourself? Did you really think Purdy was going to stay nearly perfect throughout his entire NFL career? Whomever you think may have been the so-called ‘Greatest of All Time,’ Joe Montana (you’re right) or Tom Brady (you’re wrong), NEITHER man was perfect. Why should Purdy be? You thought the Niners were going undefeated? An undefeated season in the NFL has happened exactly ONE time, to ONE team – and that was during a 14 game season. ‘Undefeated’ just doesn’t come up.

We’re supposed to be “Forty Niner Faithful.” Would you please hold on to the “faithful” part a bit more? The Niners will be fine…
