Quantum
Stranglement
House Democrats just released H.R. 5433, a bill which will
lay bare all of the finances of a senior government official
(I.E. the President, also including his spouse and family members)
which includes taxes and payments from foreign entities.
Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell will give this bill
the finger so fast the gravitational forces will open a rift
in space-time and three innocent galaxies near Ursa Minor will
all begin to smell vaguely of Turtle Wax for the next seventeen
rotational cycles.

Republicans keep blathering on about how t-Rump gave
the Ukrainians Javelin anti-tank missiles and Obama
didn't.
Funny thing about that.
While Obama was still in office Ukraine had not yet
met the criteria for anti-corruption and, thus, was
not considered trustworthy enough to have the missiles.
Also, prior to 2017, the Ukrainian military was not
yet trained to use them. (Obama provided money for
that training.)
And though the Ukranians now have Javelins they're
not allowed to use them.
What?
Yes. They're stored far from the front lines of the
conflict over fears that employing them will escalate
the war with Russia.
Who would make such an odd stipulation? Trump, because
that would make it easier for Russia to invade Ukraine
whenever they so choose.
Javelin missiles are just another vague talking point
that sounds acceptable but means nothing. Like "the
wall" and "believe me".
------------
Here's something that gives me hope about the present
political situation.
President Obama is one smart fellah, and he knows what's
going on. For eight years he had an insider's view
of where all the bodies are buried. If he suspected
that our fragile republic was about to go FOOM! he
would be a lot more vocal about it.
Therefore, given the relative quiet from the Obama
compound, I believe he trusts that the problem will
resolve itself, that the pendulum will swing back before
it breaks off entirely. So our duty is to trust our
progressive representatives to do their job and to
continue to resist.
And by all means VOTE! We got the House last time so
let's get the Senate and the White House next.
Addendum: Most importantly, if we put a Democrat in
the White House Trump will die in jail.
