Georgia Genius We Are Untouchable

-

David Shafer, Georgia GOP head.

The 6 January 2021 desecration of the Capitol by Trump supporters was just the lava. It brought to world attention an existing volcano, of men who pay lip service to democracy, but violate it on a daily basis because of their majority.

Georgia is a case in point. The Republican Party controls both the House and Senate. They are part of the entity called the U.S.A. but they are notorious for ‘that’s how we do things around here.’ They do things their own way and dare anybody to do anything about it. That’s why Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, David Shafer and the rest of Trump’s co-defendants devised the elaborate scheme RICO calls, the conspiracy to form a criminal enterprise to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in that state. The fake elector scheme, is unprecedented in U.S. politics and globally as well. How does Georgia vote 3 November, and Donald Trump and his associates devise such a scheme early December? We cannot wait for the trial date of the State of Georgia v. Donald John Trump, so that we can learn who came up with the idea of stealing Georgia’s election and the fake electors in particular.

There is a volcano of anti-democracy in Georgia, and it’s not dormant. We saw it during the Senate Run-Off elections where genius Republicans tried to prevent Ralph Warnock and Jon Ossoff from winning and a year later, where they put Herschel Walker, a former football star on the ballot to try and unseat Ralph Warnock.

Georgia genius Republicans seem to live by: I dare you. Nobody can do anything about it. We are in charge around here. We control the House and Senate. That is the only explanation why not one of them thought about being caught. The indictment is about ‘knowingly and unlawfully’ racketeering to change the will of Georgia voters. The same state senators who are part of the RICO conspiracy, passed Senate Bill 202,  the voter suppression law. It is based on a lie. They knew it was a lie. They were part of the lie. They knew they attempted to steal Georgia’s election, for Donald Trump. This is how we do it around here. That’s Georgia, the anti-democracy capital of the U.S.A.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
