The Year Of Weird

Change we can believe in - in an Eerie Coincidence, the first US commemorative quarter of 2020 came out in February and features - I kid you not - a bat.

 

Too weird.

--He is signing 4 permits that will allow the construction of pipelines and rails accross the border, which will allow the export of oil to Mexico.--

Shoot, that's convenient.
Just put an air lock port on top of the pipeline and as ICE rounds up some illegals they just pop em in like those old pneumatic communication tubes and Whoosh! back to ol Me-heeco. In fact they could do whole families together so as not to have any of those tragic separation tales from the Obama years.

clarice,

My middle sister was treated at Sloan-Kettering for a malignant tumor on her knee, back when she was 12. She's now retired, in her 60's.

My mom and grandmother had to fly (FLY!) to New York with her for treatments. (In those days the hospitals here didn't have treatments for most cancers.) I think it was 30 days. The doctor was so pleased with her recovery he came to her wedding from New York.

My pop died of cholangiocarcinoma, Neo.
They placed an external duct to a bag for his bile rather than doing a stent.
Surgery wasn't really an option and he forewent the chemo so it was relatively painless.
For the last month or so his blood chemistry was messed up and he became disoriented. Took about 8 months from diagnosis to death.
That experience and my wife's left ureter needing to be unblocked toward the end are why I was skeptical of that infection story about her stent a few weeks back .

So when we said Tea Party as in Boston Tea Party the souls of the Republican Party thought tea party as in decent daddies sitting in tiny chairs with their daughters sipping pretend tea from tiny cups.
Cuz politics is all about losing decently.
Mother McCree.
The Dems are throwing literal bombs at Federal cops and now openly endorsing literal and actual Marxism and defunding police and "decent" Republicans are still worried about whether the cucumber sandwiches are evenly spaced because dainty conciliatory pusillanimous dipshits are who we need in this fight.

To sentence old people to an agonizing death, that is decent. To deprive people of hope that a medication that has been in use for decades has some application now.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Bush 41 -one term loser who trusted Dems and broke his promise, raising taxes, and gave us goddamned David Souter and whose stupid policies led to the second most left wing president in history.

Dole -no term loser.

Bush 43 - two term loser who wasted trillions on pointless wars we lost and destroyed the free market to save it and gave us goddamned John Roberts and whose stupid policies led to the most left wing president in history.

McCain - no term loser.

Romney - no term loser.

That's 32 almost completely wasted, disastrous years thanks to those people. The only truly honorable one among them is Dole.
If the rest of them constitute the soul of your party your party is already pretty much dead.
Also curious he starts with Bush 41 and leaves Reagan off the decent list.

[Another Bob]

Love the Horde

I came unglued on a bar customer today that brought up "harmful side effects" with hydroxychloroquine.

I asked him if there were harmful side effects from chemotherapy or radiation? How about birth control pills? How about blood thinners? How about blood pressure medication? How about putting little kids on Ritalin? How about every f*cking pill ever under the sun? Do you watch pill commercial on television, bro? How about boner pills, surely you know about those, right? Should we ban everything you dumbass? That's what I thought. You don't know what the f*ck you are talking about, you just like the noise that comes from your own mouth.

He just sat there aghast and the other customers didn't even look up from their drinks.

Left me a $5 tip. Strange.

He also refused to defend the men and women he ordered to war after 2004, allowing Pelosi and the Dems to slander them endlessly and undermine them at every turn. And that is absolutely unforgivable. He owed them loyalty in return for their service and their sacrifices, and instead he and the most of the rest of the GOP pissed on them in hopes that they’d get a pat on the head from the NYT.

Two perfect illustrations of the Federal bureaucracy at work today.
First I need to get a new medicare card for my son. To do that one has to create a Social Security account to request one. However it can only be the person who owns the card who can do it. It is a Federal crime for anyone else to create one, even a representative payee like me taking care of the accounts of a disabled person. He can't even let anyone else use the account or know any of the details or...Federal crime. He's got schizophrenia and can't do it himself. Doesn't even have a phone or computer to do it on. But he has to have the new kind of card with the random Medicare number to do medical stuff, so apparently I get to commit [another] Federal crime.

Second, a gal from the ATF calls me up just to confirm my contact info is correct etc. Asks if I have any questions. I do.
There is an ATF policy that says an FFL can take delivery of firearms at any address he chooses, not just the one on his license.I have tried to get a few other FFLs to understand this, even sending them the link to prove it but they're pretty much all too stupid or chicken to even acknowledge it.
So I ask my FFL investigator lady figuring she can confirm what the ATF has had on their website since at least 2015. I couldn't get her to comprehend it either. I don't think she had a clue what I was talking about. Since the scary Wuflu presently prevents them from doing onsite inspections I figured it's the perfect time to send her the link to see if I can get a definitive answer finally without them showing up to inspect me in retaliation for asking them do their job.

Please sir. May I have some more government?
But I do have to admit every ATF person I've ever dealt with has been pleasant, reasonable and professional even if I did know their rules better than they did.
