Unless you think it means Probably Three Secret Daughters (keeping the ants in line)


October 2022

“There have been complaints about lighting during the latest episode of House of the Dragon, HBO’s prequel series to juggernaut Game of Thrones. After many viewers expressed their disappointment with dark lighting in pivotal scenes, making it difficult to see, HBO Max tweeted that the ‘dim lighting of this scene was an intentional creative decision’. Look, I’m not Steven Spielberg or Barry Jenkins, I haven’t directed anything. But in my opinion, if your intentional creative decision is that people can’t see the TV show that you’re making, then you’re making a podcast, all right?” —Trevor Noah

“There is a trend of dimness on prestige television. Everything on TV is so dark. You can’t see anything. I don’t know why. Are they trying to make it grittier? Or are they trying to make it feel like a movie? Maybe they figure if they make it dark enough, we can’t complain about the cast not being diverse. HBO has faced backlash for the lighting choices, but I think if they’re smart about this, this could be a good business opportunity for them. They should just add a higher price tier, such as offering HBO Max at $9.99 a month – or $14.99 a month if you want to be able to see what the fuck is happening.” —Trevor Noah

“In other news, GOP commentator Newt Gingrich went on Fox News to defend Herschel Walker, the anti-abortion Senate candidate in Georgia who was recently revealed to have paid for his then-girlfriend’s abortion in 2009. Gingrich defended Walker’s fitness as a Republican candidate: He’s been through a long, tough period. He had a lot of concussions coming out of football, he suffered PTSD. See? Walker isn’t a bad guy! He’s just had so many concussions he can’t possibly be held accountable for his actions. You know, a senator. Also PTSD isn’t the acronym you’re looking for, Newt. Unless you think it means Probably Three Secret Daughters.” —Stephen Colbert

Does he have the same hours of the day as me? He gets so much done. (but aside from them, nobody is above the law)


August 2022

“On Monday morning, FBI officials raided Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. This raid, just so you know, has nothing to do with January 6th, or tax fraud, or giving the White House plumber PTSD. Apparently, this investigation is about Trump taking classified documents from the White House. Honestly, I’m amazed that Trump has time for all of this crime. Like at any moment, Trump’s got a crime that he’s covering up, he’s got a crime that he’s doing now, he’s got a crime that he’s plotting for the future – he’s like the Steve Harvey but of crimes. Does he have the same hours of the day as me? He gets so much done.” —Trevor Noah

“Wouldn’t it be weird if this is the thing that takes Trump down? We thought it would be something like conspiracy or bribery or blackmail, but no, Trump got busted for taking work home with him? What a nerd.” —Trevor Noah

“For those wondering if the FBI’s search, an unprecedented move against a former president, was a politically explosive moment for the US – yes, it is. You don’t want to let a former president get away with crimes, because nobody in America is above the law – except corporations and rich people and police and celebrities sometimes, but aside from them, nobody is above the law.” —Trevor Noah

George W. Bush Emerges From Satan’s Lair To Denounce Afghanistan Withdrawal

Bush and Cheney lied us into the Iraq War (if an ignorant hick from Indiana like me knew Iraq had no WMDs, you know that Bush and Cheney knew it too) costing America 5,000 dead US soldiers, 32,000 wounded and 103,792 were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 253,330 service members were diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), 1000 service members received wounds that required amputations. Plus a million Iraqi civilians (women and children) dead. All this at a cost to taxpayers of 5 TRILLION dollars. I bet the US economy could use that 5 Trillion right about now.

And democrats are now telling us what a great guy George Bush is...

We are definitely NOT in the BIG CLUB.

He vigorously denied that he had ever had anything to do with giving a human being pleasure (evolution of PTSD)



"You know who went to Iraq this week? Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney made a surprise visit -- like there's any other kind you can make there. No agenda. He just went on a not listening tour." --Bill Maher

"There's a DC madam. She's got a little black book. Apparently, Dick Cheney's undisclosed location may have been in her little black book. The vice president's office has vigorously denied that he had ever had anything to do with giving a human being pleasure." --Bill Maher

A magisterial collection.
An emotional roller coaster.
Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s
Last Night On Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.

Who knows what kind of post-traumatic care these boys will need after the election?


     
"Mitt Romney -- the only candidate named after a glove, one of the leading Republicans, he's called the war on terror the defining mission of our generation -- was asked in Iowa today why none of his five draft-age or army eligible sons are serving in the military. 

He said -- and this is a quote, people -- 'One of the ways my sons are showing support for the nation is helping me get elected, 'cause they think I'd make a great president.' 

When I read that, I was moved and I'll tell you why. To know that the Romney boys love America so much and the whole family that they're willing to give up all five of their boys for the Romney campaign. Who knows what kind of post-traumatic care these boys will need after the election?" --Jon Stewart

Says the guy who lied about WMDs to invade Iraq (shows about decorating cakes)



Facebook says it shut down nearly six million accounts in the U.S. last October. Five million were Russian agents, while the rest were people who kept posting “so ready for the weekend.” –Jimmy Fallon

There’s a new study that says most Americans think right now is the lowest point in U.S. history. Not because of Trump; because we have seven TV shows about decorating cakes. –Jimmy Fallon

     
The IAEA were the ones who Bush asked to check on Iraq’s WMDs. The IAEA told Bush Iraq didn’t have any WMDs (they were right), Bush invaded anyway (he was Wrong) costing America 4,500 dead soldiers, 32,000 wounded and 103,792 were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 253,330 service members were diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), 1000 service members received wounds that required amputations. Plus a half million Iraqi civilians (women and children) dead. All this at a cost to taxpayers of 5 TRILLION dollars. I bet the US economy could use that 5 Trillion right about now.

I suddenly found myself with the plague (favorable view? really??)



President Trump today claimed he has a better recollection of his condolence call to the widow of a soldier than she does, pointing to his head and saying quote “one of the great memories of all time.” Trump then added, “If you don’t believe me, ask my wife Melatonin.” –Seth Meyers

Amazon is testing a new service that allows couriers to unlock homes and leave packages inside. Learn more about the new service on a future episode of “Dateline.” –Seth Meyers

A new poll has found that 51 percent of Democrats now have a favorable view of former President George W. Bush. That makes sense. I’d also have a favorable view of the flu if I suddenly found myself with the plague. –Seth Meyers


favorable view....

why?

Liking him? Really? Why? (Iraq War casualties)


Liking him? Really? Why?
      
The IAEA can inspect at will. The IAEA were the ones who Bush asked to check on Iraq’s WMDs.

or as your dog calls it, PTSD Day (black tie, but white guests)



Last night, President Trump hosted the first fundraiser for his 2020 re-election campaign. The event was black tie, but white guests. –Seth Meyers
Today, President Trump met with the newly elected president of South Korea. “Do you speak English?” asked the president of South Korea. –Seth Meyers
This weekend is the July 4th holiday weekend, or as your dog calls it, PTSD Day. –Seth Meyers

Why Bernie Sanders has to be the bravest man on the planet (Poem)





Why Bernie Sanders has to be the bravest man on the planet and 
declare his candidacy for President of the United States
(and why Jon Stewart should come back to The Daily Show)*

If the democratic party won’t get the hint…

Bring THEM with YOU.

The Democrats are holding you back.
They are holding the country back.
They don’t want single-payer healthcare.
They won’t come out for a living wage.
They WON’T STOP taking (bribes) corporate cash.
They won’t stop BOMBING countries
and killing civilians and children.
They have NO IDEA what they stand for?
They won’t open their primaries.
They won’t stop rigging the system in their favor.

(Side note on rigging elections: Bernie WON Indiana by 5%.
He was awarded 44 delegates. Hillary Clinton LOST
by 5%. She was awarded 46 delegates. She was awarded
2 MORE delegates for LOSING by 5 points!)

Welcome to American democracy?

Why make it EASY for them to keep people
in POVERTY?

In my little town here in Indiana, I voted in the primary
at the Edgewood Baptist Church on May 3rd, 2016.

I voted for you. And I told everyone who would listen
that you were going to WIN Indiana.
And when you did, I will thank you forever
about how you made me feel.

Voting for you was BY FAR, the BEST VOTE
I have ever cast.

I know you are fighting the good fight.

But WHY NOT fight it from the TOP OF THE HILL,
instead at the bottom of a Canyon.

(remember, the American people are with you wonderful you
on almost EVERY SINGLE issue.

and

you are the most popular politician/American in the entire country)..

Bernie, you have millions and millions of ready, brilliant, dedicated Americans
who are ready to HELP YOU.

You have to be BRAVE, you are NOT alone.

Look how far the democrats have fallen. Did I imagine it or was there a poll recently
that said the Democrats are now LESS TRUSTED
than the republican party?
a party that has Donald Trump as their leader.
The Democrats are LESS trusted than that?

Now instead of building homes for the poor,
Our former President is going to give a speech
to Billionaires for cash, to the tune of
$400,000 an hour.

will the transcripts be available?

Yep, the same folks who ruined the lives of so many innocent
Americans,

and did it laughing in their poor faces,
they committed unspeakable acts of cruelty,
destroying peoples lives for money..

Oh, and they didn’t go to jail.

Ten years later, they are still laughing.
Only they are a LOT RICHER.

Instead of buying curtains for their prison cells they bought
a BIGGER yacht, or another country home.

Our president (former) is taking their money.

The poor will get POORER during that speech.

They will need those homes that are NOT being built.

Bernie, come on. If that wasn’t the last straw it has to be
in the top FIVE.

Think it over…

7. Independents 43%, Democrats 28% Republicas 26%. That was something like the last poll I saw. A Brand New Party is there for the taking. But if you want to run as a Democrat and CLEAN HOUSE,
so be it.

In the meantime, See if you can get a democrat to mention FDR or The New Deal?

Good Luck with that.

And remember you have THE issues on YOUR side.
You have the American people on your side.

Declare NOW! Make the Rest Follow Your Lead.

Maybe even make Trump change his policies when he sees public support for you and your ideas.

Trump, Believe Me!, does NOT want to go down in HISTORY as #worsethanbush

He’ll come around. If he stays away from the BUTTON, that is.
Getting Cuban Missile Crisis vibes
all over again.

so, who knows basically. ODDS/pick’em.

Think it over…

12. Bernie, You need to ditch these people before THEY start bringing YOU down.

It’s that syndrome where if you hang around a bunch of dumbasses people start to think that you’re a dumbass.

And right now there is plenty of dumbass to go around.
It rubs off. Dumbass rubs off.

A bird craps on Tom Perez, the American flag crashes to the ground behind him…

You know these things go in threes, right?
And you do spend A LOT of TIME standing right next to him.

I’m just saying???

17. Do it for the people. A young lady just left my house, who 3 weeks ago, was about to lose the house she was renting and would have to live in her car with her two children. That close to being destitute. Hungry. Starving. On the street.

Do it for people like her, Bernie.

Please.

21. None of us are getting any younger. Enuff said.

23. Make them follow YOU, Bernie.  Be the BRAVEST man on planet earth.

Must say goodnight. As my old roommate from Brooklyn used to tell me, “John, you have insomnia of biblical proportions.”

That and a raging case of PTSD.

Almost 38 hours now. Personal record is 74! Brooklyn, NY October 1986.

26. Well, as you can imagine it’s a LONG LIST of reasons why…

So Bernie? Why the HELL not?

Hugs to you wonderful you.

So tired, gonna crash for awhile. 

Pleasant dreams..

All contact through website and email would be appreciated.

Best to you always,

Love, Love
