This'll Make No One Happy

     Sorry.

    But I yam what I yam. 

    As promised (threatened), there will sometimes be a serious post or two here at Penwasser Place.  Not nearly as many as there were when this blog was known as Stuff and Nonsense.  But, I’ll occasionally feel compelled to wax eloquent.

    Or whatever you call this.

    Anyway, as I informed those who took the time to read this blog back in November, I chose not to vote for Trump.  Mind you, I didn’t vote for Harris, either.  The way I looked at it, those two were impossible choices.  One was an Orange Clown, the other a cackling imbecile. 

"So, what I hear you saying is that, in your opinion, an imbecile can be cackling, or not cackling, which further directs me to the realization that vocalization is the key component behind your determination of the merits of someone who would otherwise be known as a person with a limited intellect." 

"Come on, man!  I have no idea what the fuck you just said. 
And I often forget who I am.  Who am I?  No joke."

    So, I wrote in Ron De Santis, knowing full well how much of a waste that was.  Of course, De Santis endorsed the Donald.  But, I couldn’t do it.

Interestingly, we haven't head boo from the Florida governor since inauguration.

    Anyway, I couldn’t look in the mirror, knowing I had picked the lesser of two evils.

    Considering the lesser of two evils is still evil.

I first made this during the 2016 primaries. 
His mouth is still open. 

    I’m a Conservative, but I am not a fan boy.

Or cultist.

    I believe in merit, giving people a hand-up not a handout, secure borders, throwing people out of my country who entered here illegally, and not pissing my money away on BS initiatives, especially overseas.

I'm talking to you, Iraqi Sesame Street

       There are cult members and assholes on both sides of the aisle.  I also believe that, if people talked face-to-face, there wouldn’t be nearly the acrimony you see on social media. I pray this is so.

    Frankly, I just want me and my family to be left alone.

    To be honest, I approve of most everything Trump has done.  If Harris were elected, in my opinion, this country would have continued down the suicidal road of open borders, dangerous social engineering in the military, pediatric transgenderism, and taxpayer funding of the ridiculous.

Including whatever TF this is.

    However, I do not approve of everything orange.  The narcissistic bombast has gotten too much.  The reason I couldn’t vote for him is that I feared the social upheaval which would accompany his ascendancy to the White House.  Of course, similar reactions could have been realized with any Republican president.  But, those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome have made it worse.

    At least as of this writing, I fear for the Republic.  I curse Joe Biden and I curse the cowards in the Democratic Party who couldn’t do better than a blithering idiot.

     

"And a tampon in every pot."

    Likewise, I curse the Republican Party (by the way, I am not a Republican) for giving us such a polarizer.

    I voted for him in 2016 and wanted to defend him.  But, in four years, I just couldn’t do it.  So, in 2020, I went Libertarian.

Would've gone Libertarian in 2016, but my personal "Whack-A-Doodle" meter
was off the chart with this guy.

    Anyway, I’ll do the best I can not to engage in any fierce political debate.  I much prefer yukking it up (have you read my challenge posts?).  Sometimes, though, I can’t help shooting off my mouth (or computer keyboard). 

    I truly like most people, even those with whom I disagree.  So, comment if you wish, but I won’t debate. 

    I like you all too much to do so.

    So, whaddya say?  How about a silly post? 

Coming May 16. 
The Xerxes saga concludes. 
Finally.

  1. This is Birgit…The Republican Party is bombastic, corrupt and led by a narcissistic felon who gets his look by opening a bag of cheesies and sticking his ugly head in it. Sadly, they rule your country and have set
    Up so many horrible decisions. I hope the sane heads, like Mitt Romney, Chaney, and a few others bring back the order and respect that party deserves. I was one that liked Reagan ( I know, what??) but I would lean to the Democratic side if they have the right people. I liked Harris but she centered on something that people agree or don’t and no one will change their mind. Ugh…blah, blah blah…lol. I just don’t understand how a big country, like yours has no health care. I can go to the doctor, specialist, hospital, show my card and it’s all free. I am not waiting years to get in, it might be a few months but 2 or 3 tops. If it was important, I’d get in sooner. I watched Bill Maher who had a 25 yr old Democrat on his show. His dad died last Sept. who had Parkinson’s and it cost over $19,000/mth! I was gobsmacked. The only reason, they didn’t go bankrupt, was because his dad, a veteran, died. It is not socialism, it just helps. Here I am all serious.

    1. I caught a bit of that (I really can't stand Maher, so didn't watch the whole thing). The kid became an activist after his high school became one that a gunman opened fire at. Friends of his died. And yeah, the healthcare situation is a mess. (You know why our healthcare is so messed up? Truman tried to do as the Europeans and Canadians did, but in the South they couldn't abide the idea that Blacks would be allowed in their hospitals, so it was a no-go.)

  2. I'm having problems with the concentration camps. I just can't. And the gestapo. I mean, you have a force disappearing people off the street and then they're transported to a hell prison out of the country for the crime of being here illegally? When do they get released? Never? They've earned a lifetime sentence (and probably not a long life) for that?

  3. The primary reason I don’t engage is everyone has an opinion which I believe is just as valid as the other. So, yeah, let’s just yuk it up. But, I sometimes can’t help myself. But, hey, I’m in Pennsylvania now waiting on the birth of a grandson. And THAT’S what’s really important.

  4. I could only make matters worse, but... I like that SOMEBODY is trying to get drug prices under control. I like that foreign gang-bangers are being eradicated from our streets, and frankly I don't care where they go from here. I like that we don't have to pay social security to 300 year old people. I like that the US isn't the world's economic bend over boy anymore. And I like that I don't have to resort to "colorful" insults to make a point.

    1. And I like that we’re of the same mind. That said, I’d rather laugh and make fun of Xerxes.
