Bobservations

Since Carlos’ eyesight has gotten worse I have taken over the banking and paying bills and such. The other morning I was going to drop him off at court for a translation and then head to the cabinet make and give them a downpayment for our new kitchen and said to Carlos:

“I transferred $10,000 from savings t checking this morning—”

“TEN THOUSAND!!! For what?”

“For what? The first payment for the new cabinets, or maybe for my trip to the Bahamas—”

“You’re going to the Bahamas?”

See what I deal with?

This Tuxedo Says is from April 2021:

 I mean, come on. Tuxedo can’t even vote or fire a gun and he understands this nonsense. Sheesh!

Robert Redford passed away this week at 89; a great actor, filmmaker and humanitarian, he’s like the last movie star … Barefoot in the Park … Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid … The Sting … All the President’s Men … The Candidate … The Way We Were …. Ordinary People .. The Natural … The Milagros Beanfield War … Quiz Show … and so many more, including producing a great TV show, Dark Winds. His movies often helped explain America to Americans and off screen he worked tirelessly for environmental causes and fostered the Sundance-centered independent film movement.

And he was hot, too.

I have been tasked with painting the new ceiling in the sunroom and started the project last Friday. On Saturday I was going to finish the primer coat and then start on the new color but I decided to change the sheets on the bed first. I grabbed a sheet, walked around the bed and then jammed my pinky toe against a bedpost and, yes, I now have a broken toe … black-and-blue and painful AF.

Sunday morning as I limped into the kitchen Carlos said:

“You gonna paint the ceiling today or should I have Alex come by and do it?”

Not a word about the toe, just the paint, and would I like to climb up a ladder and paint the top of the peak which is about 14 feet up.

He’s lucky I didn’t break his toe.

According to the GOP who are painting themselves as the poster asshats for civil discourse the Democrats must stop calling Republicans fascists but Republicans can still call Democrats communists, socialists, the enemy within, radical left Marxists …

Make it make sense. Never mind, it's the GOP, and they don't make sense.

Jennifer Lopez popped on a blond wig and, in her continuing thirst for attention, spewed photos of herself all over social media. Sadly, many of the people who saw the photos on her Instagram page were wondering why she was posting photos of Gwen Stefani.

Oh, Jell-O—as Carlos calls her—you are so high maintenance and thirty for social media clicks that you actually had someone hold the camera for the “selfies” you posted.

PS That’s the real G-Stef down there and not Jell-O.

The other day President Cankles said, and rightly so, that “smart people” don’t like him.

Crazy, but true and even better is the fact that he keeps insulting his base as being stupid and it’s completely lost on them.

As I was at the cabinet-makers on Monday paying the down payment, I sat and chatted with a couple of the women who worked in the front office and I am not exactly sure of all that I said, but both women have invited me back every Monday morning for another comedy performance so their week can start off fun.

Andreas Giesen is an actor and dancer and social media influencer and if that isn’t enough he wants to know: Would You Hit It?

I walked into the kitchen on Monday morning where Carlos was making our Cafe con eche and watching the news, and he says …

“Meghan got knocked down.”

“Who is Meghan?”

“Princess Meghan!”

“Who knocked her down?”

“Harry. They’re having a baby.”

“I think you mean she’s knocked up.”

“Whatever.”

And so it goes. I;m Lucy and he's Ricky.

Dear Elizabeth Warren,

There never really was much of a chance I’d be thrilled to see you run for president. After you sank to _____’s level of playing mean girls on Twitter in 2016 rather than taking him on politically, I wrote you off.

And yet, here you are again, dredging up a two-year-old feud where he claimed you don’t have Native American heritage. So, you took a DNA test to prove it and you think that makes you qualified for POTUS?

Think again. Take a seat. I’m looking for someone to change the course of this country, not reignite petty feuds with a little man.

Michael Kalny, topleft, a Republican who holds the elected position of precinct committeeman in Kansas is under fire for a social media post in which he called Sharice Davids, top right, a Democrat and an openly gay Native American lawyer running to unseat Republican Kevin Yoder in Congress a "radical socialist kick boxing lesbian Indian" in a Facebook rant to Anne Pritchett, president of the Johnson County Democratic Women’s north chapter:

"Little Ms. Pritchett – you and your comrades stealth attack on Yoder is going to blow up in your leftist face. The REAL REPUBLICANS will remember what the scum DEMONRATS tried to do to Kavanaugh in November. Your radical socialist kick boxing lesbian Indian will be sent back packing to the reservation."

And the GOP demands civility from us?

Bitch, please.

Mark Taylor is called the “Firefighter Prophet” but I call him a lunatic of epic proportions. He claims, among other things, that Democrats, with the help of Barack Obama, are using weather control technology to obstruct _____’s agenda.

Yes, he did; earlier this month, Taylor claimed Hurricane Florence was created by liberals to cover up mass voter fraud in North Carolina. In June, he said liberals were planning to create hurricanes to suppress the midterm election turn out. And lest week he claimed Hurricane Michael was artificially created by “scared” anti-_____ forces in “retaliation” for Justice Penis In Your Face’s confirmation to the Supreme Court:

“Does anyone else think it’s strange that Justice K is sworn in and we have a major hurricane inbound? DS scared? They should be. Retaliation? Absolutely. We will not be intimidated! Warriors arise, time to go to work! You know what to do.”

Seriously. Can someone put him in a seventy-two hour hold and have his head examined?

We were going to buy a new car this past weekend, and after breakfast I told Carlos I’d clean out all of our personal items so we could trade it in, and he said he’d get the title and off we’d go.

I keep the car clean so there wasn’t much to take out and as I went back to the office to find Carlos, I see him sitting at the desk, papers scattered everywhere, and he says,

“Where’s the title?”

Yes. He did. So, I looked in the file he’d created for the car and, yep, no title; but there were all kinds of other papers, such as a five-year-old receipt for an oil change.

That we keep; the title? Not so much.

Needles to say, we've applied for a replacement title, that will arrive in 7 to ten, or thirty, days..

In yet another blatant lie, and in another use of fear to inspire his illiterate, gun-toting, cousin-fucking, hypocritical Bible-thumping, adultery loving, toothless brain-dead base—and sorry to say that but if they’re gonna believe his shiz, then I will call them as I see them—_____ lied about a non-existent democratic bill he claims was written by Senator Dianne Feinstein:

"Today's Democrats have embraced radical socialism and open borders. If you don't have borders, you don't have a country, folks, you don't have a country. Every single Democrat in the US Senate has signed up for the Open Borders - and it's a bill! It's called the Open Borders Bill! What's going on? And it's written by - guess who - Dianne Feinstein."

There is no bill. It’s a bald-faced lie. But, hey, stoke the fear, asshat.

That woman featured in a viral video preventing a Saint Louis man from entering his apartment building has been fired from her job.

Although her name has yet to be made public—oops, here it is … Hilary Brooke Mueller—but I call her #LobbyLinda, tried to keep D’Arreion Toles from entering his apartment building because she was, ahem, uncomfortable.

In other words, he was a black man. But Toles recorded the incident on his cellphone and posted it top social media and, quicker than you can say, Racist, shut up, the woman was fired after her bosses at the apartment building, Tribeca Luxury Apartments in St. Louis, identified the racist as an employee.

Sorry, not sorry.

The GOP, and _____, will be the first to tell you how inclusive the party is, and how the blacks just love them, but … Michael Steele, the party’s first African-American chairman was not invited to an event honoring the achievements of prominent black Republicans.

That’s all.

Oh, this is killing me … _____ saw a painting of himself having drinks with Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Teddy Roosevelt, the Bush’s and Ronald Reagan so much that he called the artist on the phone and then put a print of it in the White House.

Seriously. “The Republican Club” by Andy Thomas was on display during Leslie Stahl’s interview with _____.

It’s funny that he’d hang it, but what’s funnier is that the artist painted him in human colors and about 100 pounds lighter than real life.

It kills me!

Dennis Haysbert. That’s pretty much all. I have always found him to be quite attractive, whether he’s playing a president on TV or selling me insurance.

Years ago, we went to see Far From Heaven because Dennis Quaid kissed a guy in the movie, and he liked it. But it was Haysbert, as the gardener whom Julianne Moore falls for, who I noticed straight away.

And that voice? Dreamy.

Rant Mode: Civility and SCOTUS and Voting

Gosh, this has been a week, eh?

I love being schooled on the idea of civility by a party, and a president, that would have trouble spelling, much less defining, civility. But, here's my take ....

I am not for businesses refusing to serve Republicans. I’m not; sue me.

But I come from a people that have been denied the most basic of rights, the right to simply be, the right to love, the right to work, the right to live, live, goddammit, for eons, and so I won't deny people the right to a meal.

Now, that doesn't mean if I run across a _____ supporter, or god forbid, one of his co-criminal and conspirators, I won't raise my voice against them. 

I'd call Sarah Sanders a liar faster than she could say, "{Where's my sammich?"

I'd call Mitch McConnell a pandering fuck, quicker than he could pull his head back into his shell.

I'd call Junior a criminal and a traitor sooner than he can add another bucket of grease to his hair.

But, when businesses start denying service to people based on their political affiliation, or their political position, then what's to say they won't do the same to us?

I don't want that. I want my Free Speech, and as long as I have it I'll use it.

Now ... SCOTUS.

Damn you, Anthony Kennedy for retiring now and allowing _____ the power to appoint your successor. I understand you wanted a Republican president to name your replacement, but this isn't a Republican president. This is a traitor. A Bigot, A racist., A criminal, using the office of president to line his pockets. He cages children and then blames someone else. He sets Americans against each other, He's trying to destroy the Free Press. He bans people based on the color of their skin, unless they’re from Saudi Arabia--where the 9/11hijackers came from--because Saudi Arabia gave him a butt-load of cash.

So, damn you, Anthony Kennedy, for doing this to us. Damn you.

Now, how do we fight this, because we can fight this.

Vote. Cast a goddamned vote.

We won the last election; the Democrats. More of us voted for Her than voted for Him. But a great many of us sat home because they were hurt it wasn't Bernie; or they cast a vote for Jill Stein as a way of protest.

How's that working out for you, Susan Sarandon?

Sure, Hillary may not have been the perfect choice, but if anyone who votes Blue doesn't think she would have been far and away better than what we have now, I dare you to speak up.

So, again, vote.

Vote out the GOP because they have stood by and allowed, and abetted, this lunatic to erase healthcare, to lock up children, to incite hate, to call racists "good people," to demonize immigrants, to ignore and demean our allies while kissing up to a man who wouldn't adhere to an agreement if his life depended on it, to, if not work with, at the very least stand by and do nothing while Russia meddled in our elections.

So, yeah, every single vote counts and y'all better get off your asses and do it, before this country completely disappears.

Cast a goddamned vote!
