Misuse of Power

Morning, kids...I bet you may be thinking I am going to write about the current Prez...with the headline being 'Misuse of Power'...but no, I am going to take you back...to another one...that did so...and resigned the office...Richard Nixon...

MSNBC ran a show on this...originally aired 5 years ago...Watergate...a 1970's blight on the power that existed in our country by the highest elected official we had...an unforgettable look at it, with the awesome flick 'All The President's Men'...starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford...as they portrayed the writers, like late 20 year old journalists...Carl Bernstein and Robert Woodward...

As they unraveled a plot by the Republicans on the Democrats...in specific, tied to the Prez...a covert action to get at files of the Demos...were caught...and the rest of the story...was the connection that that led to the President, NIXON...the actual break in was at the Watergate Hotel, in DC...the enormity of it all...the drama of the questioning...was carried on LIVE TV...as the Congressional Investigation Committee was picking apart the 'Men of the White House'...

This show went back...interviewed many that were involved...both in the coverup and in the investigation...and gave us all a glimpse of what was going on...the amazing thing...after Nixon resigned in disgrace...he still thought he had done nothing wrong...'the President can do no wrong'...that he left office, because the Republicans had abandoned him...

Yes, we are going to watch the flick again...and YOU probably will, too...BTW, is history repeating itself?...have the Republicans abandoned the current one?...

Other...

The dumbfounding Padres...had a game in their (our) grasp...and for the 3rd out of 4 times, our closer BLEW the save...his mystique is falling apart...well now...part of this gets to go to Manager Green...as he intentionally walked the WINNING RUN...to avoid pitching to the Giant's slugger, C Buster Posey...who came running home to win the game...here's my beef...he is one slow dude...pitch to him, cuz he is a prime candidate for a double play....last and deservedly so...

Bubba!...came from nowhere and won the T at the Travelers...I think his 3rd time there...horses for courses...as the leader, Paul Casey, fell apart during the final round...hitting it into the agua in critical times...Bubba Watson...made up NINE strokes on Casey...wooah....

Speaking of water...I think we take it for granted that we have safe drinking water...my friends in Salem Oregon are witnessing what happens when it is not...algae gets into the system and makes it undrinkable...I read an article out of the Eugene paper, discussing the same sort of thing that is happening in Provo, Utah...it is called algal bloom...remember the bloke that we were listening to yesterday at breakfast?...he retired as a water guy that dealt EXACTLY with this problem...said that they dealt with it, by covering their holding area...imagine covering Detroit Lake?...Florida has been dealing with this, too...for some time...

Going to far...er, far?...when someone in the spotlight gets booted or harassed out of a restaurant...the latest, is Sarah Huckabee Parker...got the heave ho...listen, we all have our jobs to do...and...hers may be the toughest one of them all...but to deny her the right to eat, is ridiculous...hmmm, next thing you know, there will be special restaurants for 'Republicans Only'...ironic?...

The end is near...Toys R Us...will close ALL stores by this upcoming Friday, throughout the land...man, I can still recall me son scouring thru their Christmas Catalog...in hopes that Saint Nick will grant him his wish...they gone...

The Stock Market opened today with a huge grunt...I will never figure that damn thing out...and don't tell me that you can...

Am I the only one that is questioning the latest out of the White House?...well, I am actually afraid of this...the rumor is that POTUS is not connecting with HIS Defense Secretary, James Mattis...Trump doesn't see 'eye to eye' with the Mad Dog...so says a high up WH spokesperson...count me as one who doesn't trust what the 'leader' is doing...

It appears that I started with the 'misuse of power' and ended my blog with it, too...

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...
