Up Your Irish Sat. Suckfest, W/ Eric "God" Clapton, Van Morrison, & Outrage From The "Rabid Far-Left"

Never liked Van Morrison post-Them. Likewise, Clapton sucked post-Blind Faith. The lesson being, don't strike out on your own, 'specially not if you happen to be a total jerkwad.
Julius Young / Fox News:
Eric Clapton slammed after past racially insensitive remarks surface amid release of anti-lockdown song  —  Eric Clapton is in hot water after it was announced on Friday that he and Van Morrison will be releasing an anti-lockdown single called, “Stand and Deliver” on Dec. 4.
The single is written by Morrison and recorded by Clapton, and news of its release had many scratching their heads for the fact the song appears to blatantly go against the government lockdowns and mandates set in place to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. However, countless others on social media took chose to take umbrage with racially insensitive comments Clapton made years ago while addressing a crowd during a show in Birmingham, England in August 1976.
During the again-unsurfaced tirade, which many younger Clapton fans hardly knew existed, the guitarist and crooner allegedly called for foreigners to “get out” of Great Britain.
“Stop Britain from becoming a Black colony. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white,” Clapton, now 75, said at the time. “The Black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans don’t belong here, we don’t want them here.”…

Fuck You & Your Stupid Bars, Restaurants & Night Clubs

I hope every last gawddamn enterepeneur in this disease-plagued nation of brain-dead morons ends up on the streets, starving. Fucking overpriced "hospitality" shitholes deserve to go out of business, especially w/ the way the bosses treat the employees. Fuck you all in your mouths, you money-grubbing disease-spreading sacks of sub-human garbage. I'm more than ready to shoot anyone simply for not correctly wearing a facial covering; restaurants that re-open are just begging for arson, & I'm just the pyro to do it. Listen to this whiny bitch:
On Wednesday, standing in front of his restaurant, The Abbey owner David Cooley fought back tears as he looked ahead, fearing the three-week dining ban could stretch into New Year’s Day, which “will probably put me out of business.” Cooley said he closed his business early in the pandemic but was able to reopen after making substantial investments in safety measures. 

“We learned more about the virus and how to operate our business safely without contributing to its spread,” he said. “As the state and county constantly changed the safety protocols and regulations, we adopted to every one of them. And believe me it was extremely costly for small businesses to keep up with these guidelines.” 

But now, he said, “all that investment is wasted.” 

“These new closures place blame on the hospitality industry and small businesses …,” he said. “We are good operators who go beyond the minimum guidelines to make sure our guests and our staff are safe.”
Really? Are you & your exploited fucking staff all doctors or epidemiologists? If not, FUCK YOU & your whining fucking feelings too!! Cry some more bitch, then I'll give you something about which to cry. Like a broken jaw.

Facist supervisors Barger & Hahn can go fuck themselves too. What is the matter w/ these people, & why are they allowed to live?

You'll Be Dead For Xmas

We stole a couple of paragraphs from Off the Kuff's wknd. link dump:

“One of the things happening in South Dakota is an infection rate that’s among the worst in the nation, at about 8,000 cases per 100,000 people. In Vermont, another small, rural state with a Republican governor, Gov. Phil Scott has embraced safety measures, and the differences are pretty stark. Like South Dakota, Vermont has fewer than 1 million residents, most of whom don’t live in cities. It has about 500 cases per 100,000 people. That’s the lowest rate in the nation.”

“But COVID-19 works slowly. It takes several days for infected people to show symptoms, a dozen more for newly diagnosed cases to wend their way to hospitals, and even more for the sickest of patients to die. These lags mean that the pandemic’s near-term future is always set, baked in by the choices of the past. It means that Ricketts is already too late to stop whatever UNMC will face in the coming weeks (but not too late to spare the hospital further grief next month). It means that some of the people who get infected over Thanksgiving will struggle to enter packed hospitals by the middle of December, and be in the ground by Christmas.”

Happy Holidays, you rat bastards. SoDakGuv Kristi Noem cannot get The Trump Plague & die too soon for me. As well as the other seven billion of you. Sayonara, suckers!

Tears On My Pillow

I thought Mike Lindell was a schmuck long before he started hanging that cross out of his shirt. Few things irritate me more than someone trying to sell me something, literally or figuratively. 

Then came the cross & the Trumpism. This appeared, but (on the time-tested "Why Bother?" philosophy) sat in a tab for several days: Then this appeared, & I was motivated:

Tucker Carlson Advertiser Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, Helps Bail Out Kyle Rittenhouse

G'wan, kill a hippie. I'll go your bail.

Good job w/ the anthrax, as yet unknown killer. Y'know, the population problem continues to expand.

Post-Election Cracker Patrol

At the Sunset Restaurant in Moorefield, West Virginia - a diner featuring omelettes, hotcakes and waitresses who remember your order - a mention of the election sparked a spirited discussion at one table. Gene See, a retired highway construction inspector, and Bob Hyson, a semi-retired insurance sales manager, said Trump had been cheated, that Biden had dementia and that Democrats planned all along to quickly replace Biden with his more liberal running mate for vice president, Kamala Harris.

“I think if they ever get to the bottom of it, they will find massive fraud,” said another of the diners, Larry Kessel, a 67-year-old farmer.

Kessel’s wife, Jane, patted him on the arm, trying to calm him, as he grew agitated while railing against anti-Trump media bias.
Reuters roots among the Trumptards. You can look at some of the cult members. None of them actively drooling, but ...
In Reuters interviews with 50 Trump voters, all said they believed the election was rigged or in some way illegitimate. Of those, 20 said they would consider accepting Biden as their president, but only in light of proof that the election was conducted fairly. Most repeated debunked conspiracy theories espoused by Trump, Republican officials and conservative media claiming that millions of votes were dishonestly switched to Biden in key states by biased poll workers and hacked voting machines. 

Many voters interviewed by Reuters said they formed their opinions by watching emergent right-wing media outlets such as Newsmax and One American News Network that have amplified Trump’s fraud claims. Some have boycotted Fox News out of anger that the network called Biden the election winner and that some of its news anchors - in contrast to its opinion show stars - have been skeptical of Trump’s fraud allegations.

“I just sent Fox News an email,” Fryar said, telling the network: “You’re the only news I’ve watched for the last six years, but I will not watch you anymore.”

The widespread rejection of the election result among Republicans reflects a new and dangerous dynamic in American politics: the normalization of false and increasingly extreme conspiracy theories among tens of millions of mainstream voters, according to government scholars, analysts and some lawmakers on both sides of the political divide. The trend has deeply troubling long-term implications for American political and civic institutions, said Paul Light, a veteran political scientist at New York University (NYU). 

“This is dystopian,” Light said. “America could fracture.”
You'd hate to see that. 

Anyhoo, here is not some toofless hick who lives in a rusted Airstream up on blocks, but ...
... Raymond Fontaine, a hardware store owner in Oakville, Connecticut, said Biden’s vote total - the highest of any presidential candidate in history - makes no sense because the 78-year-old Democrat made relatively few campaign appearances and seemed to be in mental decline. 

“You are going to tell me 77 million Americans voted for him? There is just no way,” said Fontaine, 50. 

The latest popular vote total for Biden has grown to about 79 million, compared to some 73 million for Trump.
a guy who owns a hardware store in Connecticut. Who doesn't realize that when one's opponent is wandering around the country rambling on about what hot shit he thinks he is & calling for the imprisonment of his political enemies (Remember "criminalization of politics"?*) while spreading the plague one needn't (indeed, probably shouldn't) campaign. 

Let alone "mental decline". The Stable Jenius has been holed up in the Executive Mansion, apparently barely able to function ever since "Sleepy" Joe beat him not unlike a rented mule red-headed stepson. (Still want to call Prez-elect J-Robin-Jr. Uncle Joe; were he a Stalinist we wouldn't have to worry about potential pardons or, indeed, that any Republicans would live long enough to cause any further problems, would we? [EVIL LAUGH]) 

We could go w/ "Killer" Joe. 
Above cut in Germany, 6 November 1996, below also in Germany, 14 March 2013. Lastly, more allegedly educated people (Well, a chiropractor.):
Now, Fryar says he would go to war for Trump. He has joined the newly formed South Plains Patriots, a group of a few hundred members that includes a “reactionary” force of about three dozen - including Fryar and his son, Caleb - who conduct firearms training.

Nothing will convince Fryar and many others here in Sundown - including the town’s mayor, another Patriots member - that Democrat Joe Biden won the Nov. 3 presidential election fairly. They believe Trump’s stream of election-fraud allegations and say they’re preparing for the possibility of a “civil war” with the American political left.

“If President Trump comes out and says: ‘Guys, I have irrefutable proof of fraud, the courts won’t listen, and I’m now calling on Americans to take up arms,’ we would go,” said Fryar, wearing a button-down shirt, pressed slacks and a paisley tie during a recent interview at his office. 

The unshakable trust in Trump in this town of about 1,400 residents reflects a national phenomenon among many Republicans, despite the absence of evidence in a barrage of post-election lawsuits by the president and his allies. About half of Republicans polled by Reuters/Ipsos said Trump “rightfully won” the election but had it stolen from him in systemic fraud favoring Biden, according to a survey conducted between Nov. 13 and 17. Just 29% of Republicans said Biden rightfully won. Other polls since the election have reported that an even higher proportion - up to 80% - of Republicans trust Trump’s baseless fraud narrative.
Suddenly of the greatest relevance. Not judging or anything; I understand they live in fear of The Other, Demon-rat Socialists & the Cuban ChiComs in Venezuela but this fanatical devotion to the Trump & his perception/expression of what's happening now is far beyond this reporter's admittedly post-empathetic comprehension. Did keep-it-cool centrist Obama's election (& reëlection) really make 73 million Americans freak out to this extent?

And what is to be done about (or w/) these people? If it's fight or flight, I'm not going anywhere.
*"Criminalization of politics" is a political buzzphrase used to defend elected government officials who have been indicted or have faced criminal or ethical investigations.

Most recently, the term has been applied to proceedings against President George W. Bush's advisers and Republican Congressional leadership, including Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, and Karl Rove (see Plame affair). The position of their defenders, including Robert Novak, William Kristol and Rush Limbaugh, is that the accusations against these officials lack substance and Democratic partisans seek to weaken them for political reasons, perhaps to the point of retaking Congress in 2006.

The position of many Democrats is that the cause of the investigations is the Republican "culture of corruption" and that anyone who has broken laws or rules must face the consequences. They also point out that some of the politicians denouncing the current pursuit of alleged Republican misconduct have in the past called for vigorous pursuit of alleged Democratic misconduct.

The phrase was also used by supporters of President Clinton in reference to legal action against members of his administration, including Henry Cisneros. During the Watergate scandal, supporters of Richard Nixon claimed that he was guilty of nothing more than "hard-ball politics."

"Do you have family/friends/a support system?" To which I must reply: "Fuck you in the mouth, shithead, would I be here if I did?" Which is answered by putting me in the back w/ the other potentially violent loons.

That was a previous hospital stay, but being asked the same bullshit question 14 yrs. later reminded me of how all the fucking jerks I used to know abandoned me. Which is probably why my blood pressure is so high now. Fuck you bastards, you probably killed me.

Blood pressure up, heartbeat as low as 30. Possibly a reaction to having a nine percent salt solution pumped through me for three days.

Pandemic on course to overwhelm U.S. health system before Biden takes office  —  The country's health care system is already buckling under the load of the resurgent outbreak that's approaching 10 million cases nationwide.  —  The United States’ surging coronavirus outbreak is on pace to hit nearly 1 million new cases a week by the end of the year — a scenario that could overwhelm health systems across much of the country and further complicate President-elect Joe Biden’s attempts to coordinate a response.

The country’s health care system is already buckling under the load of the resurgent outbreak that’s approaching 10 million cases nationwide. The number of Americans hospitalized with Covid-19 has spiked to 56,000, up from 33,000 one month ago. In many areas of the country, shortages of ICU beds and staff are leaving patients piled up in emergency rooms. And nearly 1,100 people died on Saturday alone, according to the Covid Tracking Project. “That’s three jetliners full of people crashing and dying,” said David Eisenman, director of the UCLA Center for Public Health and Disasters. “And we will do that every day and then it will get more and more.”
