Mind your manners!

That is all. Let us proceed to matters that count for something. Or whatever. Machine art minus stuff.

The Last Friday

 It's the very last Friday in January. It's the very last Friday in January 2021 and there will never be another. Gosh is that about sad or what. Next up will be February and we should get several Fridays in February. I think so anyway. I like the month of February, and it's really short. As in just about 28 days and done. Well except when those 'leap years' happen. Actually, the 'leap years' happen quadrennially . You know, once every four years. I do believe that's what quadrennially defines as but, maybe I should go look. Hold on and I'll be back shortly...yup, nailed it. Once every four years. Almost like when America holds that silly-ass presidential election thingy. I suppose we Americans should be grateful for that. If a presidential election thingy came more than once every four years well, I'm thinking the suicide rate around the Nation would skyrocket for sure. In the very early days of the beginning of the America, the Nation's Founding Fathers wanted to make that presidential election thingy happen once every six years. The notion never really gained much traction and so America is stuck with what we've got. Personally, I think a once every six years presidential election is a pretty good idea. Allow an elected president one term in Office that lasts for six years. In the very least, if a sitting president were to get impeached for a second time after four years in Office, a second impeachment would hold a fairly significant amount of interest and a second impeachment would count for more than just window dressing on presidential disgrace, incitement to riot, insurrection, being just plain rude, and treason. All notorious qualities that trump embodies passionately. Trump will of course skate. The asshole is luckier than a two peckered billy goat. A two peckered billy goat is a very old and odd expression from way back in the day. My old man and any number of his drinking buddies used that expression which as I understand it, held much meaning that eluded my ever so young self at the time. I did however find the expression mucho hilarious and have used the expression from time to time up to this very day. Two peckered billy goat...that's funny. Okay and enough of the road trip down memory lane and miscellaneous and other bullshit. It's on to machine art and stuff that might not have been covered so far.

Nuts Is Nuts

 Back in the day there was a saying that gained some traction by saying "California, what ain't fruits is nuts." Not a very flattering expression so the remark mostly and/or sort of died off. However the "nuts" aspect can still hold acceptance in these our postmodern times and applies directly to the United States Congress. The House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. It seems more than a little theoretical that a significant number of congress folk, representatives and senators are bat crap insane. The dummies can't shake off the curse of trump and are taking to fighting with one another over really stupid shit. Most of the fighting is within the republican party. It appears more than obvious that republicans in Congress don't really like themselves and they're taking their dislike for one another out on the American people. Republicans in the Senate are hellbent on giving trump a pass on his (trump) treasonous approach to stirring up his 'base' and inciting a riot and that riot caused the murder of at least one Capitol police office and quite possibly two other officers. Once upon a time that would have brought about an indictment for accomplice to murder. But of course not trump. The republicans can't bring about enough resolve to divorce themselves from racist and hateful trumpian influence with cause and effect. Trump inciting the mob as cause and murder being a direct result. The republicans are certainly beneath contempt. Disgraceful too. So that's probably about enough of that so, it's on to machine art and stuff.

you know, I could suppose that fractals are surreal in and of themselves. go figure. :]

Time Will Tell

 Time will tell if Amerika has gotten over the national fixation with trump. The onus now falls squarely on the U.S. Senate as to whether or not they have the balls to convict trump for incitement to insurrection. Of course the notion 'incitement to insurrection' is fancy legalese for the fact that trump started a damn riot that resulted in a Capitol Police Officer being murdered. America's full of themselves and grandiose Senators will try and ignore the murder of a police officer. The cop's murder makes trump's impeachment all the more important. That and the mob of idiots tore America's Capitol up and trashed the place big time. We shall see how much trump bullshit lawlessness is tolerable. Okay and that's all I've got for a Tuesday so now it's on to machine art and some stuff. I'm not certain what might be stuff as opposed to what might not be stuff. Hmmm...philosophical smoke and mirrors I could suppose. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Karma...It's A Bitch

So the long ago and just about forgotten mayor of New York City and that would be one Rudy Giuliani, is getting his stupid ass sued by a voting machine contingent for "slander." Oh yeah and 'sued' is a bit of an understatement. Giuliani is being sued for $1.3 billion dollars. Damn and from where I sit, that seems like a really big pile of bucks. Dominion Voting Systems which provides voting machines and tabulation software to a serious number of states around the Nation, does not take lies and slander lightly. No they do not. Guiliani and trump were accusing Dominion of helping with the "steal" of a win for trump in America's last most recent presidential election. Courts all across America and all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States of America have ruled in favor of the States and Dominion in every last attempt by trump to get the election results overturned. The trumpers were trying to get election results and the vote count overturned. Elections in the U.S. and that's to include federal elections are handled exclusively by the individual States. So anywhere that the trumpers figured they could get a judge to sign off on their bullshit and waste of time effort to overturn the election were categorically and judicially, shot down in flames. Judges appointed by trump and trump's SCOTUS nominations all to a judge, sent the trumpers packing with stern and no fooling around decisions by the aforementioned judges that the trump and his enablers could piss off judicially and go away. HAH, that is too freakin' funny. So and anyway, Giuliani was stupid enough to sign on with trump to legalize trump's lame-ass attempts to overturn the election. I may have mentioned that previously. Guiliani was talking mounds of bullshit to the media and anyone that was within earshot of his prattle, that amounted mostly to "lies and slander" on Dominion Voting Systems and Dominion Voting Systems did not like that one bit so now Dominion will extract their pound of flesh from Giuliani and that pound of flesh to be forked over by Giuliani will be to the tune of $1.3 billion dollars and that is to be USD. USD stands for United States Dollars. Some Wall Street jerk off used the expression one time a way back when and the initials initially stuck in common usage. I doubt that Guiliani has a pound of flesh to fork over on judicial request which would be more like a judicial judgment if not command. Giuliani doesn't really carry a pound of flesh on his carcass on a good day. Giuliani can sweat brown streaks and that's no fooling around. There's video of Giuliani sweating brown bullets. So trump was pitching a fit after his last attempt at a judicial intervention went sour and took his ire out on Giuliani by instructing trump staff not to pay Giuliani his 'hours billed' and trump stiffed Giuliani. Giuliani had to know that was coming. Trump being the asshole he is, wienies out on just about everyone that has ever done any business with trump and that's to include the American people. $1.3 billion dollars. I wonder how long it will take Giuliani to scrounge up $1.3 billion dollars? Oh yeah, that is too freaking funny for sure. Hey Giuliani...can you say SUCKER? And now we're off to machine art and stuff. Yup and we enter the last week of January. Damn the month went by in a screaming hurry.

Well What Do You Know

It snowed, finally. Overnight or in the wee early hours of the a.m., it actually snowed a way out here in the West. Didn't snow very much and I won't have to drag out the snowblower BUT, it did snow. About an inch. Maybe not that much. Of course Utah's 'greatest snow on earth' in the Utah mountains reaped a pile of the stuff. That's exactly where the snow should be. In the mountains and NOT on my freaking driveway. If things go right and our glorious sun actually shines on this fine Sunday, the snow will melt and that will be a good thing. The Utah skiers are wetting themselves in preparation of ditching church and heading for the canyons. You see, the skiers have to drive up those Utah canyons to get to the ski resorts. Traffic will be a mangled mess right about now. I can't for the life of me figure out what the attraction with skiing might be. I've never skied and I have no intention of ever going  skiing. Don't care for the notion and I'm not about to give skiing a whirl. Back in the day I used to like to go fishing on snow days. Getting in an icy river and fishing up a few Utah whitefish was pure heaven. Cold as cold can be but on a sunny day in the freezing cold, whitefish were biting. That was a long time back. Anyway, let us all hope that the skiers can get to where the snow is without too much delay or wreckage. Utah's canyon roads are a slick as snot nightmare after a storm. Don't be stupid kids and be careful. That's all I've got for a Sunday and not that skiers would be reading any of this prattle. Doesn't matter as all the prattle on a Sunday is filler for the real deal which is of course, machine art and stuff. I've already performed the stuff part of today's prattle. :]

It's A Rainy Day In January?

 I woke up this morning to the gentle sounds of rain. And yes, it's January a way out here behind the Zion Curtain. It generally and overall rarely if ever, rains in January. Go figure. I'm willing to bet this has everything to do with climate change. 'Climate change' is the new and politically correct way to say "GLOBAL WARNING!" Judas Priest, how hard is that to grasp and wrap the old mind around? It's not that hard. So anyway, it's raining. So last September when I got the snowblower all primed, gassed, checked the oil, and sprayed WD 40 on the moving thingies that need the WD 40, I thought for sure I'd have the snowblower working overtime by now. But no. You just don't need to fire up the snowblower when it's raining. Nope. I am not knocking the rain. All the little green plants and birds and stuff like the rain. But rain in January? In close proximity to the Wasatch Front with the Wasatch mountains towering over Mormonville? One last time... go figure. Okay and so let us now move on to the machine art and I've finished with the stuff. 

Hampden, never been there but it is entirely possible that Hampden is nice. I don't know. But I'll machine art the bejeepers out of the place -

So there you go for a rainy Saturday. Don't forget an umbrella. :]

Were You Able To

Get the Covid-19 vaccine. Anyone? I've read "reports" that the Covid vaccine is available to "special people" but I'm not so certain that the vaccine is available to just ordinary and everyday Americans. A way out here behind the Zion Curtain Utah, the Mormon hierarchy got vaccinated and medical first responders and hospital employees and some PD officers but, just regular Utahns are S-O-O-L. SOOL is shit out of luck. No vaccine for regular folks. I read a thing on the CNN page that alleged that the trump administration did NOT have a plan in place to get the Covid vaccine to Americans in general. The report left me wondering what in hell the trumpers were doing? I mean besides standing around and playing circle jerk mambo. Standing around and hurling insults within earshot of media outlet journalists ensconced in the White House Press Pool. And yes, there is an actual pool where media outlet journalist types are made to wait while White House personnel gin up some almost but not quite credible bullshit. Hopefully things will be different for media veterans that cover the White House with the Biden administration now in charge. So speaking of the Biden White House and a new administration, Jen Psaki is back. Psaki worked for President Obama back in the day. President Biden also appointed Samantha 'big hands' Power to work at the United Nations. Ms. Power has some really big hands. She could certainly grip a basketball with no trouble at all. She could probably slam-dunk a basketball with ease. I'm making an assertion here as I've never seen Ms. Power play basketball. Anyway, President Biden made Jen Psaki his new White House Press Secretary. Back in the Obama days, it was very easy to rattle Psaki and any number of media veterans did exactly that. Speaking of back in the day, whatever happened to Keith Olbermann? Olbermann was a man born for our fast paced times and damn if he could punch a damn political windbag right where the windbag needed to be punched. Keith Olbermann was damn near as funny as Craig Ferguson. I miss the Ferg too. Okay and now its time for the machine art and stuff. I didn't really have anything anyway so what the hell. Happy Friday everyone.

maybe and with some luck and good fortune, we might be able to procure some Covid vaccine sometime real soon. Yeah...maybe. :|

And So It Begins

Today is the first full day of America with Joe Biden as President. I wish the President all the luck there is to be found across these amber waves of downtrodden grain. President Biden is going to need it. The President is going to have to try and repair an America that's been raped by trump. It's gonna take a while. At the Biden/Harris inauguration, if you didn't happen to catch the young lady that recited her 'song for America' well, you missed a recital that will go down in history books as a game changing event. The young lady is eloquent as well as literate. Her name... Amanda Gorman... and I have no doubt that America hasn't heard the last from Ms. Gorman. Ms. Gorman offered up five minutes of brave, courageous, wise, and insightful poetry that somehow did NOT come across as poetry. Then there was Lady Gaga's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Gaga nailed it! America actually had television that was worth watching. I missed some of the inauguration as I had to get a CT scan. Yeah I have to do that periodically. I have the emphysema which is my body's gift to me for smoking more than fifty years. I can still remember my mom telling me not to smoke which at the times seemed like a load of crap as she smoked and my dad smoked and just about every adult I could see smoked. Thems was the smoking' days for sure. Not so much these days. Hell, vaping is the new craze and later on down the road, the vaperites will regret their decision to look cool and vape. YOU'LL BE SORRY! Oh yes you will. Okay and that's enough for now and it's on to the machine art and stuff.

now I'm off to catch up on all the nonsense I missed yesterday. You Go Joe! :]

it's today it's happening it's live

 I am referring to my birthday. What else could be more important than that? Not a dang thing with the possible exception of Joe Biden's inauguration. Yeah, that's pretty important no doubt. His evility has flown the coop. I mean trump. He took his very last ride on Air Force One, on the taxpayer dime of course, and the freak is now happily entombed in Florida. You see, trump won't ever be able to leave Florida. Unless of course he gets his ignorant ass arrested. Iran has an Interpol arrest warrant issued so trump can't go anywhere in the world and not even Scotland without getting arrested and extradited to Iran. I'd really like to see that. Trump could quite possibly (inevitably?) be arrested by the F.B.I. and extradited to New York to face felony warrants. Yes that is felony warrants in the plural. The fool will also face an impeachment trial in Congress and he won't be able to ditch that either. His legal fees are going to be astronomical. Like out of this world expensive. That is of course if the dumb ass can find a lawyer willing to take his cases. And the single most important aspect to this, besides it being Hump Day and see how I snuck that in there, glorious day is my birthday. I do love having birthdays. Birthdays are far better to celebrate than not having a birthday BECAUSE if'n you aren't having a birthday you're more than likely dead. Well, I'm not dead yet. Not by a long shot. But who knows, this day is far from over. :] It's on to the birthday machine art and birthday stuff. That and it's Hump Day so somebody needs to cue the camel.

if a door is open well, close it -

owls are so cool even on a Hump Day -

so there you go and here I go...off to celebrate Hump Day AND my birthday. Yippee!

assembly required

 I bought a new desk for my birthday which just so happens to be tomorrow. My birthday not the desk. The new desk comes with a rather stark warning...ASSEMBLY REQUIRED! I sort of figured that would be the case as how in hell would the manufacturer fit the desk already assembled inside a box. The desk would need a rather large box and then there would be the shipping incidentals. Anyway, it's off to put together a new desk. I'm planning for most of this day to assembly the desk that requires putting together. Fun city here I come. So this short installment of 'fun with the screwdriver' is brought to you by machine art and stuff. You can't buy the machine art anywhere and not even on Amazon so, you have to ask. Here we go...

okay and so for now fare ye all well. it's off to assembly time. oh we'll have us some fun for sure. :|

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

 Dr. King was a martyr. A very brave and courageous martyr. Dr. King gave his life so that ALL Americans could have a better tomorrow. In many respects, America failed Dr. King and that's not including Dr. King's assassination. The notion of a trump presidency surely must have Dr. King spinning in his grave. Ain't not much can be done about trump short of getting the dangerous freak out of the White House. I can almost hope that the dummy decides to hang around the White House on January 20, 2021. Because as of 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on the 20th, trump's reign of terror will be over and the F.B.I. would be able to head into the White House and remove trump physically. Throw his stupid ass out the side door for all the world to see. I have a dream...

My apologies to Dr. King's family. Have a safe and sane Dr. King Day. On to the machine art and stuff.

I wonder what Dr. King would think of America today. :|

Sunday Pandemic Panic

 But don't worry, the governmental/pharmaceutical collective will see to it that you get the Covid-19 vaccine at some point in time. Not necessarily a sooner point in time but "someday." That's reassuring isn't it? What a clusterfuck on an epic scale. Let's see here, news about the Covid-19 broke back in December of 2019. The damn virus started its inevitable spread and headed for the four corners of global existence around January 2020. The pandemic started it's rampage for reals about March 2020. That was when the CDC and medical scientists just about around the world informed everyone that this shit was for real and happening now so cover you rigs and duck for cover. Shelter in social distance. Mask up. Wash your hands frequently. Use hand sanitizer IF you can find any. March went into April went into May went into June went into July went into August went into blah blah blah ad infinitum. Here it is just about the wind up of January 2021 and there are reports of a "vaccine" being out there, somewhere, but where that might be is purely hypothetical. There are media reports with accompanying video of that rumored vaccine being administered to hospital personnel that have been the front lines in the 'WAR ON COVID-19'. There are additional media reports of first responder cops and firemen receiving the "Covid-19 vaccine" but the reports have not been actually verified. We just have to take the media reports at face value. Which right about now isn't more than misleading bullshit. State governors are informing citizens of the various states around the nation that "vaccine is coming so be patient" and pending platitudes are allegedly reassuring. However and after all that, people are dying at a record pace and so it goes. The Covid-19 infection rates are astronomical and the newest twist on the old Covid-19 saga of horror are news reports that "Covid variants" are even still MORE infectious than the original Covid-19 and medical folk, virologists, and public health doctors aren't so certain that the newer "variants" of the Covid won't kill you faster than the original Covid-19. So there you go, more 'good news' that will help you sleep better at night or maybe not. Where in hell is Dr. SuperBatman when he's needed? I mean really. Okay and after all that good news it shall be on to machine art and stuff. While there's still time.

Someday all this bullshit will be over and everyone will look back at these trying events with fond memories of the good time we all had. Sure we will. :|

Sixteen Days And Then Some

 Back in the days after 9/11/01, there was legislation passed that labeled terrorism by category. You know, Islamist terrorists and that was pretty much it. There was tucked inside that memorable legislation an article that made mention of domestic terrorism. Mostly the domestic terrorism stuff was inserted for the people that became the Black Lives Matter movement and anyone involved with the antiwar movement which at the time was a fairly large portion of civilized society. The legislation authorized the use of the military installation loving known as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba or Camp Gitmo, to house those dang icky Islamist terrorists without any due process. There is a small number of "high value targets" still incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay and they've been in detention hell ever since. No due process for you! The point to be made here, that legislation is still on the federal law books SO, how a come the domestic terrorists that went ape-shit on the U.S. Capitol aren't deprived of their "civil rights" and sent to Guantanamo Bay or Gitmo post haste? Why is that? Gitmo isn't good enough for domestic terrorists? Gitmo was certainly good enough for those icky dang Islamist terrorists. Back in the day, media clowns such as Tucker Carlson liked to call the terrorists "Muslim terrorists." For obvious reasons, media clowns such as Tucker Carlson don't call the detainees "Muslim terrorists" and not any more. The term was rude, misleading, and wore out its welcome in a hurry. So...what the fuck? Send the insane 'trump loyalists' to Gitmo. Send any and all U. S. members of Congress that provided material support to the fuck head domestic terrorists to Gitmo. Whether those members of Congress are in the House or the Senate. Call for Ted Cruz, pack your bags you unAmerican prick. That applies in spades to the freak domestic terrorist in our U.S. Capitol wearing the buffalo headgear. What an asshole. Before you know it, Guantanamo Bay will be back to a full inmate/detainee population and America can just leave the idiots there. Life would be almost idyllic. Tropical sun, sand, ocean breezes, and the Islamist terrorists left in Gitmo could help to proselytize the domestic terrorists and help the fuckers to see the "light." Oh yes and by the by, there's NFL playoff football on television today so there might be something to watch that isn't media talking heads doing the blah blah blah over the glaringly obvious events of the last ten days. Judas H. Priest, can't they all just shut up? The question is of course, rhetorical. On to machine art and stuff.

Halfway And Then Some

Somewhere in the world its 12:00 p.m. so, the first month of January 2021 is halfway gone. Over and almost done with. It's not 12:00 p.m. where I'm domiciled so it's close but not quite. January 2021 seems to be more of the same crap we had to put up with in 2020. Global pandemic and global pandemic with "variants" and trump seems to still be hanging around and still not much to watch that's any good on television. Doesn't that just figure. I tried watching the new Star Trek installment on CBS and wow-oh-wow-whee if that doesn't about suck. Doesn't make much sense either. Gene Roddenberry would sue for sure. Star Trek Discovery? I think that might be close to what CBS is calling this mangled bullshit. Pretty fancy special effects and that's saying something for television but judas, come on guys/gals that are scripting up this mess, you can do better and you sure as hell should. I mean it is supposed to be Star Trek. The original Star Trek was sketchy on a good day but that was a way back then and Star Trek the Original was new and ground breaking for television and there was Spock. Yeah yeah sure there was Captain Kirk but really, Star Trek the Original was about Spock. As were all the subsequent movies and then there was Picard and Data. Star Trek Voyager sucked so bad it wasn't worth the time to even bother with. I can imagine that the television network braintrusts are more than glad I'm not a media critic. I'd light their asses up for a certainty. What was I prattling about? Oh yeah, January being half over. January will 'officially' be half way over at 12:00 p.m. way out here behind the Zion Curtain. You know and a b-cuz I live in the Mountain Standard Time zone. Luckily, the Zion Curtain does not blanket the entire Mountain Standard Time zone. Denver is in the Mountain Standard Time zone but Denver is not behind the Zion Curtain. Parts of Arizona are behind the Zion Curtain but that is held strictly to Tempe, Arizona. Wyoming is in the Mountain Time zone but Wyoming isn't behind the Zion Curtain. Wyoming is where the sheeps and nimrods roam. Whenever you might find polite society a way out here, its duly noted that Idaho stands by itself. Idaho is a curious berg. It is geographically a wonderland but the Idaho inhabitants are a squirrelish bunch. You might want to avoid the Idaho backcountry villages unless you're sporting a swastika armband. Okay and that's about enough blah blah blah for now. On to the machine art and stuff.

Be careful everyone, there's pandemic 'variants' running loose and damn if that doesn't figure. :]

Surrealist Projections

 Okay and here goes: trump will become so enraged being impeached a second time that he will con the national media into broadcasting his final day in office. With mainstream media mostly absent having become bored with trump's antics and the inauguration of President-Elect Joe Biden being the headline news of the day, trump will start sniffing glue in the halls of the White House and have to be removed physically from the place by the Secret Service. Trump will of course be hallucinating like a big dog and think that Melania has jumped ship and taken off with Rudy Guiliani. Sniffing glue can and does induce some seriously heavy duty hallucinations. Turns out that trump had been sniffing glue in the White House all along and hardly anyone knew except the White House staff that holds responsibility for running the place and always has. Mike Pence will step off a helicopter that was taking him to an airport to head back to wherever it was that Pence came from in the first place, and fall several thousand feet to his imminent demise. Pence become so disillusioned with trump that he started having "visions" and Pence thought for sure the 'rapture' was happening as he stepped off the flying helicopter and nobody could muster the resolve to stop the fool from opening the helicopter door and stepping out into oblivion. Well isn't THAT about a pity. Or maybe not. I'm mostly undecided at this point. The remainder of trump loyalists are caught in rat traps that were set by the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. which just so happened to be working in concert with one another for just about the first time ever. It seems that both the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. had some axes to grind with trump and his loyalists and both agencies have sworn blood oaths to render vengeance on any of klan trump that might still be hanging around Babylon-On-The-Potomac. There's gonna be some hell toupee now. Toupee...get it? That a spin on 'to pay'. Toupee - - to pay... Okay skip that part. Anyway, there's some surreal projections for a Thursday and well, I couldn't quite muster the foresight to venture any farther than that. Yeah I had about nothing. On to the machine art and stuff.

Abstract abstractions -

Be on the surreal look out -

Okay and that ought to about do it for a Thursday. Hang in everyone and hopefully some Covid-19 vaccine might just come your way soon. Ain't not any Covid-19 vaccine to be had out here behind the Zion Curtain. Seems the Mormons have ganked every last does for their faithful and there's none left for the Gentiles of Zion. That's be dummies such as myself. Oh well... :/

Tuesday January 12, 2021 and Deja View To You

Well, we've got us another day in paradise. Sun is almost ready to shine provided it actually rises above the mountains for long enough to see the smog brewing up from the valley. This time of year we get a lot of smog. Almost reminds me of Los Angeles way back in the day. I could suppose that it's probably good to be able to see the air you breath. However it might not be anywhere close to 'normal' when you can cut the air with a knife. You can eat it like a piece of cake. Smog cake...ummm yummy. Anyway the trump is off to Texas so he can visit the Alamo and brag to anyone within earshot how he made his last stand and gosh oh golly what a man what a man what a mighty big man. That's how he sees himself. Of course Texans will turn out to see their perceived vision of Butch the Cowhand and there will be guns to be had for miles. Texans do love their guns. I'm willing to bet that the Secret Service might not find all those guns so near their president a good thing. Why just think if some loopy Texan starts to shoot his gun in the air and a bullet just so happens to smack the trump in his head. Pity that. The Secret Service protection team would look pretty darn silly at that point. I wonder what the Secret Service thought of trump's incitement to riot schtick. Probably not much. Thinking is not what the Secret Service does. So today should be just another laugh riot and the evening news will have plenty to freak out about. Now it's on to machine art and stuff.

 Congress plans to impeach trump...again. Seems like they did that once. Impeach once, impeach twice, and a third time would be the charm. There won't be a third time. Old donny boy is finished. That is of course a very good thing. Damn freak. Okay and so the trump-meister has a little more than 7 days left in his term so the Congress had better hurry the fuck up OR they're gonna miss their chance to make history. A second trump impeachment would certainly be historic. Disgraceful to say the least but it will be historic. It will be interesting to see how many republicans in the U.S. Senate will go along with a second impeachment. I'm thinking the Senate republicans will jump on the impeachment bandwagon with reckless abandon. Senate republicans should have jumped on the impeachment bandwagon the first time and had the dumb assholes done so we might not be in the mess America is in today. Oh well, no sense crying over spilled impeachment milk. God ahmighty, this crap just drags on and on and on and...

Okay and now for today's machine art and stuff.

I know they call this Stormy Monday but and after all, Tuesday's just as bad. :]

the days of whine and poseurs

 The trumpers that went ape-shit in the U.S. Capitol are getting their sorry asses arrested all across these United States. Wow is that about a surprise or what. The trump domestic terrorists pretty much trashed the place and as the silly freaks are getting arrested and jailed, they're whining and raising the sad laments about being misunderstood. Oh the poor babies, no one understands their plight. Yeah, like white privilege is misunderstood all across the Amerika. If the trashing of the U.S. Capitol had been committed by black Americans, well, there would have been blood running down the steps of the Capitol. Lots of blood and dead black Americans littering the Capitol grounds AND the inside of the building. The point was not missed by black Americans. After all, hypocrisy is an Amerikan value and there is little doubt about that.

The lame-ass politicians that were in open support of trump and his ridiculous bullshit should be arrested and jailed for aiding and abetting domestic terrorism. That would include sitting senators, members of Congress, media concerns like Fox News, the cancerous Limbaugh who with any luck at all, will die of the cancer before America gets around to arresting his terminal ass. The whiz kid Tucker Carlson should expect an F.B.I. knock on his door as should squirrelly Gohmert. Louis Gohmert is an exceeding insane congressman from Texas and doesn't that just figure. There are a boat load of talking heads that were rattling and encouraging the domestic terrorists to commit open insurrection with violence. That my friends is against federal law and rewards those convicted a rather lengthy stay at one of those swank federal prisons. A conviction for open sedition and/or insurrection against the U.S. government can also get one a chance to face a military firing squad. Of course that's pretty harsh and should be reserved exclusively for convicted members of Congress. The dummies are supposed to know better. Congress may want to consider making an IQ test one of the requirements for election to Congress. Just a suggestion. 

Of course absolutely none of the above will happen. Not now and not anytime in future. Politicians and the media talking head pundits will begin their prattle about putting all this ugliness behind us and let the healing begin and all is forgiven. That's about some outrageous bullshit to be certain. But that is what America will get. I am of course making predictions based on personal bias and preference. Now for even still more personal bias and stuff like that there, it's time for Sunday machine art and probably about enough stuff for now. Here goes ...

be safe everyone and mask up...that Covid-19 vaccine should arrive at your arm about someday. :]

a bridge over chaos

 So there's really not much else to be said. el Trumpo put his foot in the shit and now he can't seem to get his shoes clean. Even the rats that were ever so fond of Mein trumpf can't seem to remember who the guy was or IF the aforementioned rats had met the guy. Like...ever. Just goes to show you that rats won't even bother with other rats. Congress can't get the Pence-meister to work up that 25th Amendment gig so Congress will move to impeach the trumpster. AGAIN! I could suppose that when things come down to Congress, if they can't get a thing right the first time they'll keep trying to get a thing right the second time or the third time and on and fucking on ad infinitum. 

The insurrection idiots are back at home wondering when the F.B.I. will come knocking on their doors. The F.B.I. is absolutely coming for every last one of the terrorists. You can expect a modest amount of terrorism in places like the Afghaniscam, Iraq, Saudi Moravia, and places like that there. However, you really don't expect terrorism in Babylon-On-The-Potomac. You know, that D.C. place that houses all the sycophant members of Congress and their immediate and closely related relations. Yes, nepotism is alive and well in Washington, D.C.. D.C. is short for District of Columbia. Did you know that D.C. is ruled by Congress? Well it certainly is. Even so, Congress can't even get the old D.C. right. D.C. should probably be it's very own State in our Union but no, Congress can't be a having none of that. There's already too many damn States and to add anymore would just give Congress the fits with a side order of migraine. The members of Congress are not exactly the brightest bulbs in the old Amerikan light bulb pack. We're closing in on January 20, 2021 and Joe Biden's inauguration. Yippee for Joe and for me. Oh yes January 20 holds a special place in my heart. That very day is my birthday! Yes it is and did you know that America inaugurates the presidents on MY birthday. Yes America does. I've always thought that was mostly and kinda cool. Oh yeah...

Machine art and stuff.

Okay and it's playoff time. Yippee! Something to watch besides idiot politicians being idiots for the world to witness. Football. Of course with NFL football, it's the commercials that are worth watching. The ad guys go all gung ho with their commercials so you'll drink beer and eat bucket loads of nachos. Spending money IS the Amerikan national credo. Even if you haven't got any. Money...  T.F.N. :]

Murder Most Political

 Trump incites a riot and people were killed. Gosh, is that about a shocker or what. The insurrection was planned for months and people are stunned and horrified that it happened at all. Surprise surprise. The trump minions are bailing off of trump's sinking ship of state like rats bailing off the Titanic. That should come as no surprise. The trump minions ARE rats and have been living comfortably on the taxpayer dime. Gosh, the corrupt fuckers are going to have to go out and find real jobs. Good luck with that. The Melania has already packed her bags, grabbed hold of the youngest trump, and she's headed for parts unknown. I'd bet that she heads back to New York. But really, who cares. Anyway, the trump train has derailed and it's going to be one whole lot of fun watching the last days of trump and his time in Office. Not the tv show. 

We have made it to Friday and it's already the second Friday of the new year. Damn if time does not fly when you're having fun. We are having fun aren't we? Sure we are.

Der Tag der zerbrochenen Demokratie!

 Trump has finally managed to get himself inserted into U.S. history books. The president that ruined the American Democratic Republic. Good job you loser son-of-a-bitch. So trump's goons managed to breach the United States Capitol Building and ruin an ordinarily normal day. Well whatever passes for normal in Washington, D.C.. People were killed in America's Capitol and the place was ransacked and raped. The dummies that pulled this stunt will all be readily identifiable by law enforcement and I have no doubt the F.B.I. will get involved in what will surely turn out to be a nationwide manhunt. The stupid freaks will from this day forward be known as 'domestic terrorists'. Hopefully, trump and his court jesters will get to have some down time in Guantanamo. The internment palace is still open and operating for the icky damn terrorists and I can't think of a better place to hold them than Guantanamo. What a display of ignorance by crackers. Stupid fuckers were packing confederate flags and wearing combat battle gear and acting ever so butch. I did find it curious that there were four people killed and media outlets had only made mention of one woman that got killed and media outlets offered up no details. The media concerns are holding off on details until the eleven o'clock broadcasts. The media concerns hold partial responsibility for yesterday's riot. Oh there's plenty of responsibility to go around here. Trump's sycophants, republicans in Congress, Rupert Murdock's Fox News, Chuck Todd, and probably KISS. Yes KISS the clown makeup band. You see, Gene Simmons is a big trump enabler. KISS the band sucks and always has.  Anyway, President-Elect Joe Biden is now two weeks away from being our real President and Kamala Harris WILL be America's first woman Vice President. I find that pretty damn incredible. Madam Vice President will be second in line to be America's President should anything happen to President Biden. God forbid but, there is always that chance and if LBJ were still alive you could ask him. Same would apply to Gerald Ford. Ford is long gone as is Lyndon. Damn if the America back then didn't seem like a kinder and gentler place to hang out. Oh well, done is done and now we're on to machine art and stuff.
