What I Didn't Miss

The one good thing about being taken up with unnerving medical shit for a solid week is that I paid no attention to the news. OK, very little attention.

I still heard about 45’s theatrical bombing and then, last minute NOT bombing of Iran. He said it’s because, just ten minutes before the bombs were to fly, he found out that 150 people would be killed. He says that’s why he canceled the order. OH SPARE ME! 

First off, given how many children down at the border have died and WILL die in his insanely cruel concentration camps, it’s crystal clear that our Nazi president doesn’t give a shit about brown people croaking as a result of his dictatorial whims.

Secondly, how could BrainDead Bozo NOT know there were people, HUMANS, at the site he wanted to bomb. That’d be in the intelligence reports and as he, famously, doesn’t read, I’m betting someone told him too. Maybe they even broke out the hand puppets or had the Fox&Friends talking stooges dial him up.

Thirdly, this REEKS of his cheap, reality TV, melodramatics.

Then there's Trump’s rape of a woman in an upscale NYC department store back in the ‘90s. That didn’t breeze past me either..

Carroll asks herself the question that many people will now ask: why didn’t she come forward with these details earlier? She writes that she had watched other women making similar allegations against Trump “receiving death threats, being dismissed, being dragged through the mud … Also, I am a coward.” (source)

Being figuratively dragged through the mud wouldn’t put me off. Death threats though, that might just do it.

I understand the christianists are all in an uproar over the production and imminent broadcast of Neil Gaiman's brill novel (written with the, sadly, late Terry Pratchett) Good Omens. I LOVED that book and canNOT wait to see the show. Amongst other bullshit hilarities, the fossil brained fundies are pissed that god doesn’t have a penis. *GASP* Everyone knows the Almighty has a prodigious wang! This is BLASPHEMY...and shit.

God, they complain, is “voiced by a woman” – Frances McDormand – the antichrist is a “normal kid” and, most importantly, “this type of video makes light of Truth, Error, Good and Evil, and destroys the barriers of horror that society still has for the devil”. They are calling on Netflix to cancel the show. (source)

Also, it's on Amazon not Netflix.

And, on my list of places to never EVER go: Lakeland Florida.

Courtney Taylor Irby is in jail on charges of armed burglary for stealing her husband's guns. Where was her husband? In jail, because after a divorce hearing, he'd tried to run her over with his car. She feared for her life, and the lives of her children given his violence and abuse towards her. While he was in jail, a judge granted her a temporary restraining order against Joseph, and "[a]s part of the pre-trial release conditions, Joseph Irby was ordered not to use, possess or carry any weapons or ammunition." So, knowing he owned these guns, while he was in jail, she took his guns and immediately brought them to the police for safekeeping, so that he wouldn't have access to them once he got out of jail. (source)

But she’s in jail and it's for “armed burglary.” The murderous fuck’s in jail NOT home. She was turning in the guns for him, seeing as how he’d forfeited them with his established deadly behavior. Given his state of incarceration, she was doing him a favor.

But she’s in jail now?!

There are just too damn many people giving me good reason to become a hermit.
