Again Adam Schiff demonstrates that he really doesn’t get it.

Adam schiff democrat california house of representatives.I know this Washington snake is soon to be installed in the Senate. I know that properly I should be referring to him as Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA).

I can’t. All I see is a lying, duplicitous, self aggrandizing, immoral, snake that shouldn’t be within 1000 miles of the levers of power.

I see him as a representation of everything that is wrong not only with Washington D.C. but also with the California electorate who votes (D) no matter what.

Schiff was bad enough when he represented the 30th District, but was typical of that district. The district encompasses parts of LA, Burbank, Pasadena and some of the filthy rich democrat enclaves in La Cresenta, Montrose, La Canada Flintridge, Glendale, Altadena, and parts of Tujunga.

Many of these areas enjoy gated walled communities and are largely disconnected from, or untouched by, the things they vote in favor of.

Prior to 2016 the only time I’d heard his name was when some political scandal broke. I don’t recall if he was condemning the scandal or was part of it. Honestly I didn’t care. Whatever was going on, it was the business of the electorate in the 30th district.

After 2016, he gained prominence by consistently lying and being caught lying in testimony to congress usually about Trump, often while trying to impeach the President. I’m for impeachment of a bad president for cause. I however have a serious problem impeaching the President based on false testimony, statements, fabricated evidence, and the word of a liar who happens to be in the House of Representatives.

Judy Chu 2048x1366.He was like Judy Chu (D-CA) who represents an adjacent district to the East. I ignored her too, until she had Obama annex a part of the forest in the mountains nearer Pasadena. She touted this as important legislation that would ensure the forest was maintained and reduce fire hazards. It didn’t. The feds haven’t done squat, and the recent “Bridge Fire” is ample proof of that.

After the last redistricting, Judy Chu, is unfortunately now representing me and my town so I do pay attention to her. Looking at the redistricting map it’s clear the powers that be wanted to destroy a large Republican voting block that had formed in the high desert. Over the years conservatives who happened to be mostly republican moved to the desert where houses were more affordable and crime was lower. Interesting side note, that migration heralded the loss of Californians to other states for exactly the same reasons.

Judy Chu sends happy horse shit announcements about how interested she is in hearing from us. She invites us to hear her speak prior to elections on weekdays from 8-5 in Pasadena. After the election, we don’t hear anything at all from her or her office. Requests for assistance or even requests for clarity about specific addresses being in her district, or not, go unanswered.

Her notices tell us how important it is for us to be “part of the process,” and how interested she is in hearing from those of us in the mountain portion of her district. I’d bet she couldn’t find this town with a map, GPS, and police escort. She’s another California politician that sits in congress collecting her paycheck, finding ways to get rich like Nancy Pelosi, and doing nothing for the California people. But I digress.

Over the weekend, Schiff appeared on ABC’s “The Week” and said that Americans didn’t vote for Trump to see him pardon “criminals involved” in Jan 6. A brief writeup appeared in Breitbart

Uhhh Adam, yes they did. In great part because you and the Jan 6th committee engaged in what was clearly theater.

Generally speaking, everything the committee did looked a lot more like an old style Soviet show trial than actual justice. It was obvious from the start the committee was going to find anyone guilty that supported Trump and opposed the Democrat Party, or Joe Biden.

That farcical committee pardoned then arranged for a promotion of the single individual who discharged his firearm that day resulting in the murder of Ashley Babbitt.

The committee via the DOJ imprisoned 1000s of American citizens for the duration of Joe Biden’s presidency, many of them in horrific conditions and still awaiting trial or in some cases even pretrial hearings.

Then the committee destroyed evidence. 

We The People, want a lot more than pardons for the January 6 prisoners. We want justice. I can’t speak for all Americans but I want all the members of that committee investigated, tried, sentenced, and imprisoned in exactly the same conditions as the January 6th Prisoners.

Joe Biden might preemptively pardon some of the committee. Which in my mind, simply underscores their guilt, but he’s not going to pardon everyone who contributed to this reign of lawlessness and law fare.

Believe me, when all those underlings and “disposable” people are looking at prison terms, they will turn on members of the committee and even though those members will be sitting fat dumb and happy with pardons. Their guilt will be exposed. I won’t be surprised in the least if the families of those who end up taking the rap for “The Committee” come looking for a little bit of revenge.

Wow, Twitter is dangerous for me

Not really, but it is very easy to lose time with it.

Why is this on my mind today?

Long story short, I was reading the morning news, after reading today’s thought in The Daily Stoic.

A news article led me to a tweet, which I opened to read. That led me to the news that a nice person I’d interacted with via Twitter, in Canada died on the 6th.

He’d gone to the hospital a day or two before with chest pain and the hospital decided he wasn’t having a problem, therefore wasn’t an emergency and the hospital staff put him back in the waiting room. After spending 6 hours in the waiting room he said “fuck it,” and went home.

Apparently he died at home. He was 39.

I was taken back to Jerry’s death and the way the hospital here and our medical people treated him, then him dying at home. Which led me to doom scrolling through twitter. 

All of this ties oddly back to The entry in The Daily Stoic, which is talking about everything ending. Empires, to lives everything ends. It doesn’t do well to dwell on it, but it’s equally not good to ignore that time is a predator that stalks us all.

And that leads back to twitter/ X. Which is insidious in the manner in which it steals our time, while not providing a lot in the way of tangible benefit. 

I was right all though years ago when I walked away from social media. I’ll be walking away from social media again real soon.

I have other things that I want to do rather than pissing my life away engaging with almost nightmarish insanity that social media is, and always has been.

None of us should be surprised.

We all knew that he’d do it.

Some people are losing their shit over Biden Pardoning Hunter.

Joe biden hunter inside zoom 1df4b7c6 a6a4 4aac 9355 825ee2676955.Not sure why there’s any surprise about it.

Biden is a father, Hunter is his son, and no father is going to let his son go down if he can stop it. This is especially true if the father in question might be implicated in the son’s illegal activities or maybe directing those activities.

I suppose that people are freaking out because Joe Biden, less than 6 months ago, said that he wouldn’t pardon Hunter. I guess folks are looking at it as Biden lying again. Which is true, Biden has once again very publicly contradicted himself.

Much as I dislike Biden, in this, honestly I can find forgiveness for him.

I choose to put my faith in Karma. I think that punishment will come swiftly to the Biden’s.

Joe will continue to spiral into dementia. Hunter is not going to be welcomed back into the circles that he once moved in, and capitalized on, simply because he has nothing left to sell. Hunter may finally harm himself beyond medical science’s about to help him. Another tragedy waiting to befall the Biden family. The most fortunate person in the Biden’s extended orbit may be Hunter’s un-acknowledged daughter. At least the stigma of the name Biden won’t stick to her.

Jill, in propping Joe up the way she has, destroyed any possibility of them being able to spend his remaining time at a beach in peace. Had she let him retire, he’d have been the former Vice President declining quietly on the beach with national respect for his 40 years service to this country. Lots of folks, myself included, think that she has acted reprehensibly, perhaps to the point of committing elder abuse. I believe she did it for her own vanity, she wanted fame.

Joe’s presidency may well go down as the most epically bad presidency in our nation’s history. This administration has certainly eclipsed Carter. 

I feel sorry for Joe Biden. It’s possible that some good may come out of his presidency. He inadvertently underscored the depth of corruption extant within our government. Trump had called it out but no-one believed him. No-one wanted to believe him. Joe Biden’s bumbling might ultimately have saved us from a level of corruption that was growing in the shadowy netherworld of Washington DC backroom deals and politics.

That’s something for historians to write about a few hundred years from now. By then there should be enough distance to be able to see if the highlighted corruption was eliminated once the people saw it, or if it persisted and grew.

I disagree with Joe pardoning Hunter. That doesn’t mean that I don’t understand it.

I think this underscores the hypocrisy that the Biden administration has running through it. It also makes a much stronger case for the rejection of Kamala.

With this historic move Joe Biden may have put the final stake in the heart of the Democratic party.

Take Heed political workers. Attend what the party of the working class has done to their workers!

I’m sorry about that title! I feel a little bit like Loki.

Happy Black Friday! May your shopping trips be fruitful.

That can’t be said for all the DNC staffers kicked to the curb after Kamala Harris loss. 

The DNC laid all these workers off, with little to no notice, no severance, and a swift kick in the ass.

Kind of like the way the DNC has treated black voters, latin voters, gay voters, and women voters for decades.

You know, “Now that you’ve voted for our candidate, FUCK OFF! You’re of no further use to us, you filth!”

Arguably, that’s been their attitude for decades. Bill Clinton swayed the gay vote promising equality. Uhhh what did that get us? Don’t ask, Don’t tell. Some progress on HIV treatments which were horrifically expensive. Then we were forgotten until the next election.

Nothing much changed in minority communities either, but they too continued to eagerly gave their vote to the DNC in exchange for promises of unicorns & rainbows.

I’m sure that between election cycles the DNC routinely trims staff, but this latest massive layoff is newsworthy because of the numbers and the way in which it was done.

I feel sorry for the workers. They’ve taken a double hit. They worked their asses off to get Kamala elected, lost, and then get thrown away like last weeks fish. That’s gotta sting.

On the other hand it provides a view into the value the DNC and the upper echelon powers within, place on their constituents. You know that all the workers were true blue Democrats. They all voted straight Democrat tickets and were therefore no longer useful.

It’s this kind of thing in microcosm that led Jerry to leave the Democrat Party after a lifetime of volunteering his time.

I can’t pinpoint the exact moment he left the Democrat Party, but I recall attending a Democratic function with him maybe 10 years ago. I enjoyed myself, I listened without making a scene. We stayed to the end and when we got in the car Jerry was very irritated.

I thought perhaps I’d done something, (and wondered if I should plan on sleeping on the couch,) so I asked. He replied that I’d been very good considering the circumstances and my very Republican leanings. He thanked me for not causing a scene and holding my tongue even when he’d seen others clearly baiting me.

He went on to say that he was very offended and concerned for the Democrat party in our county because of their attitudes. I asked him to clarify. He said, “They’re not at all interested in volunteers, all they want is money.”

In years past he’d often played local Democrat cocktail parties and receptions for free. He’d stuffed envelopes, even knocked on doors to hand out campaign flyers. This particular year they told him to essentially get lost, “But don’t forget to vote for our candidate…“

After a few years of this he stopped volunteering for the Democrats and started doing paid gigs for the local Republican committee. They fed him, paid him, thanked him for playing, and treated him with respect. 

At some point, Jerry concluded that the local DNC chapter wasn’t an aberration. It was instead a reflection of the larger Democrat party.

I think that’s when he decided to leave the party of his parents, & family.

For years after, he’d laugh every time he got an “Emergency Fundraising” notice from the Democrats. He especially liked the hourly or daily emails from Nancy Pelosi proclaiming Democracy was threatened by Trump or the Republican Party, saying that she’d match his donation.

He sometimes wondered aloud where her matching funds were coming from. Was it her money, a donors money, or a lie to get him to loosen his purse strings? In the 2019 & 2021 run up to the elections his email was clocking fundraising notices about every 15 minutes. He’d laugh and joyfully press “DELETE”.

The DNC is wondering what happened. I think it simply became blatantly obvious to the voter base how much the DNC loathed the voters.

Once the elite effete snobbishness became so readily apparent, the American people who had grown tired of endless lies, turned away.

It’s going to take some time for the DNC to win back voter trust and they might not at this point. 

Jerry said when asked, “The Democrat Party isn’t what it was and I feel that I’ve been left behind.”

Once he started questioning their platform he found that much like the LGBTQIA2S community, He felt was no longer represented, and they were only interested in reaching into his pocket. That made him feel used & nobody likes being used.

I’m sure that’s the way the workers the DNC has cast off, feel. It’s probably like doing the walk of shame the morning after a one night stand. You feel dirty, stinky, and keep wondering what that sticky feeling in your underwear is.
