This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

At almost the exact moment the Republican House was pointlessly impeaching a Homeland Security Secretary for not doing his job. House Republicans were busy killing a bipartisan border security bill thus not doing their jobs. But Republicans want to play games on border security and taking any steps towards solving the problem would be counterproductive at this point.

The setting Sun King, he who is without grace, wants to run for office on border issues. He thinks it will help him with the simpletons and miscreants. They won’t notice House Republican’s impeached a man for not doing enough, while House Republicans refuse to do more. “Never you mind what we do! You’re not doing enough!”

“We Demand Change! We Demand Action! We Want Joe Biden to Do Something! Then a bipartisan bill is presented to the house and crickets, right on cue. Apoplectic Republicans speaking in tongues and rolling on the ground in a border security froth. Then with one word from the setting Sun King, the work of months is set aside. So that he who is without conscience can use the issue as his plaything.

Knowing the simians and cretins just love the unspoken racism with their unabashed xenophobia.

“Democrats flipped the seat held by George Santos.” No, the Democrats didn’t do anything of the sort. The Republicans flipped the seat held by George Santos. The Republicans could have acted surprised or outraged or something, but instead chose to defend Santos in the face of an obvious fraud. And so, the voters said, “Oh yeah? Do you really think that is going to fly? Pissing down our backs and telling us it’s raining!”

The partisan nature of Secretary Mayorkas impeachment makes it little more than Fox News fodder. Anti-mask, anti-vaccine, anti-science and anti-everything. Even anti-solution! Impeach everyone! Off with their heads! The heartbreaking saga of keeping the children frightened with loud noises in the dark. “We should hold an investigation with hearings, subpoenas, and even a special prosecutor!

Watch the spin on the breaking ball as the emphasis is not pro-Republican, but anti-Democrat. Take the case of the long-suffering Dr. Fauci. Quietly serving in the Trump Administration until that fateful day when he publicly disagreed. “Government doctor with 20 years’ experience makes a huge salary! Government doctor drives an electric car! Can he be trusted with our children?”

Then with Dr. Fauci staying on in the Biden Administration, the nerve, and the outrage!  Working for Trump, he was honest and hard working. But working for Joe Biden made him sinister. Masks don’t work, and vaccines make you magnetic and sterile! They’ll sell your DNA to China! Paging Jerry Springer! Selling fear to the shut ins and paranoids.

Never mind the Republicans were advocating a herd mentality. Everybody gets together just like normal and then after enough people have died, the disease will get discouraged and go away. Sure, tens of thousands of people will die needlessly, but do you want that Big Mac or not?

Americans were outraged because their church services were outlawed. Republicans quickly jumped into the fray outlawing any future public health emergencies. If I want to go to church during a pandemic, it’s my God given right to get closer to Jesus. Maybe even a little closer to Jesus than anticipated. Never understanding the plain common-sense approach of staying away from each other for a little while.

“It somebody picking on us again! This is all a plot by George Soros and Google! The Red Chinese or the Trilateralists, the Masons and Hillary Clinton! It’s fun to think in the fantastical. Much more fun than dry facts and figures. Everything is a deep dark plot. Somewhere in an undisclosed Ramada Inn somewhere, secret world leaders plot their evil plans to take over the world. After their free continental breakfast of course.

Cults are internal and when threatened will close ranks to defend the fortress. Elections are external and require enthusiasm. The enthusiasm to either vote for something or vote against something. Republicans voted in droves against Hillary Clinton. A she devil and a witch! While Democrats were ho, hum and just lukewarm about her.

Voters likewise voted against Donald Trump. Joe Biden don’t get no respect. He has done a good job under incredible circumstances of complete fucking nonsense. Just imagine what he could do with a Democratic Congress in his second term? His age is another red herring brought up by people to avoid looking in the mirror themselves.

People engaged tend to stay engaged. People who brag about their cognitive tests results often tend to forget that a professional recommended they take a cognitive test in the first place. Doctors don’t normally test for cancer unless they suspect cancer. If the transmission is slipping, it’s probably the transmission.

“What’s the frequency Kenneth?”  It’s all just nonsense and performance art. “Where’s Nikki’s husband,” Doah! I’d let Russia attack! I’d tell em to do it!” Sure, elect me, and I’ll start World War III! Then I’ll build camps and deport millions. Trump just saying things to rile up the monkey cage. Just to get them throwing their poop. It’s not about the size of the chocolate ration, it’s that Big Brother thinks about me.

A Republican led House with a record of failure and fiasco accomplishing nothing while demanding Joe Biden do something! While cooking up accusations and innuendos about everyone and everything. It was everyone’s fault but theirs. Constantly banging the stick on the side of the swill bucket to get the attention of Pavlov’s Republicans.

These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or
on my sons. No, not content with that, they now include my little dog, Fala. Well,
of course, I don’t resent attacks, and my family doesn’t resent attacks, but Fala
does resent them. You know, Fala is Scotch, and being a Scottie, as soon as he learned
that the Republican fiction writers in Congress and out had concocted a story that
I had left him behind on the Aleutian Islands and had sent a destroyer back to find
him – at a cost to the taxpayers of two or three, or eight or twenty million dollars-
his Scotch soul was furious. He has not been the same dog since. I am accustomed
to hearing malicious falsehoods about myself – such as that old, worm-eaten chestnut
that I have represented myself as indispensable. But I think I have a right to resent,
to object to libelous statements about my dog. – Franklin Delano Roosevelt
