Rendition



On a downer day in sports I want to go to a topic that thoroughly disgusts me...rendition. On the boob tube yesterday former VP Dick Cheney was on Face the Nation, or something like that...I have feared this man for 8 years and his appearance just solidified that thought...his endorsement of the controversial Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party turned my stomach...but, let's not go there for now...

Rendition is the act of secreting out a "prisoner" to another nation and have that nation use any means to get information from that person...OK, like torture...I thought that when I grew up the only countries that used that method were the bad guys, Germany, Japan, and Russia...NO! It's still going on and we do it...Cheney boasted that it was successful in pulling out key information from Al Quida prisoners...apparently the only way to do so...

The enemy...whenever another country or in this case militant group, attacks us we will use any method to counter that attack. Torture is part of that counter...but what is acceptable and what is not? There have been months and months of debates by our congress to address the issue...fact is the Bush regime, especially Cheney, has left the building and their legacy with it...

Do rent the movie "Rendition" to get yourself an eyeful of what has been going on...stars include Alan Arkin, Meryl Streep, Jake Gyllenhall, Reese Witherspoon, amongst others...
And now back to Cheney...he has no time for Collin Powell who endorsed Barack Obama for president the last time around and feels he abandoned his party by doing so...thus his endorsing the ridiculous Rush Limbaugh...a fact that leaves me totally in the anger mood...in as much as I am leaving that party if Limbaugh is within 10 miles of party headquarters...
Oh yea, the Padres got swept by the Astros, Tiger played like a mere mortal and lost to Henrik Stenson, the Lakers got beat by Yao-less Houston, and the NFL is seriously considering playing the Super Bowl in London...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
