The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

What I find most maddening about our corrupt, venal, stupid, fear-mongering twits in higher (and lower) office throughout the land is the casual demand for double standards. When my idiot governor Phil Murphy orders non-cooperation with ICE, but then less than a year later demands that the Federal government become intimately involved with what is properly the responsibility of the states, then I call foul.

It's actually worse than a double standard, because it is the proper function of the federal government to protect our borders and enforce federal immigration law. It is not the proper function of government to provide extra hospital equipment and troops to enforce state pronouncements.

It is during times such as now that we discover who understands the checks and balances built into our Constitution, and who is a screeching partisan desperate for a cheap shot and a political gotcha!

******

Obviously traffic is up considerably as many people "work" from home or are furloughed or worse. Adding the current fear and hysteria stoked by the semi-sentient fools in the media and we have the perfect storm of trolls and other assorted irritants.

So...don't feed them! Sure, the ones who are sort of coherent are proper playthings; sort of like your dog's favorite chew-toy. But the blathering idiots and the obvious shit-stirrers and the racists and anti-Semites and the poll bullshitters are more worthy of the attentions of the cobloggers and the moderators. Just ignore them and we will get to them in due course.
