The Wound Licking Phase is Over.

Just what I needed; another political group page inviting my participation in their Trump hate-fest. I actually considered not joining as preaching to a choir of Trump haters is not necessarily a good thing when I am trying to scale back my blood pressure and angst over the absolute cluster fuck that America has become under the wings of  Trump and the Right. ................

Well, I have to be who I am. I am a political junkie. I was was raised in a dyed in the wool Black Republican family who insisted that not paying attention to the government was almost treasonous. And even though I turned my back on the Right many, many years ago, I can't help thinking my family was right about paying attention to government. After all, not paying attention by too many dumasses has created what we have today; a totally dysfunctional government being run by a madman and and a gutless stupid group of sycophants.

This new Face Book group, "My political Voice" is a Libtard haven where the choir seems only interested in venting their anger and disappointment over where the country is today. I am not faulting them as , I am also still in full shock mode and not even close to a complete venting. I assume I will only stop when either Trump and the GOP implode completely or I become ashes to be scattered over Blue Job Preserve at some date yet to be determined.


A question meme popped up with a picture of some of the big dogs of the Democratic party. The question pasted at the top of the group photo was "Who's our best hope for 2028?"

My knee jerk reaction was, "What the ...?" This is too soon. The Licking Wounds phase is not over yet. But after some consideration, maybe five months of wringing our hands and our own versions of the "woe is me" performances is long enough; maybe too long. 

This meme was not whining over what was already done, but a meme that is looking forward. Looking forward is what we need to do. Making plans to undermine the testicular vice grip the GOP has on our country's balls is more important than pissing and moaning about how unfair, stupid and evil the mean people on the Right are. Accept that they are evil and have no interest other than power. Funnel our anger into defeating them. This meme is a start.

Instead of picking one of the choices, my comment on which pol would be my choice went:

"Depends on whether the Democrats want to win or just make a statement like they did this last election. Certainly any of the above choices would be better than anyone the Right puts up. But who really has a chance to be elected when morons are making the call? Hope doesn't win elections, but fear and loathing seems to work like a charm."

But if I had to pick a potential candidate for President, I would pick my governor, Janet Mills. She is as hard nosed a pol as has ever come down the pike. She has already crossed swords with the Orange Shit Gibbon. She still stands tall and won't back down. Plain spoken and smart, our country would be in good hands with her at the helm.

As much as I would love to see her in the White House, sadly, she is 77 years old. It is time for a younger candidate. It is time for a candidate who can play the game the same as the Right. No holds barred and in their face. Winning the White House means winning over the idiots, as it seems they are in control now.

So, if I had to choose one of the above pols to run, I would have to by-pass my favorites, Pete, Corey, Kamala, and Beto and go with the blandest looking white man on the page, probably Gov. Newsom. But no matter who the Left picks, you can bank on my support. Anyone but a Republican. And that is so sad. I didn't used to think that way.

I wish I had discovered this tune before the election. I didn't, so better late than not at all will have to do. This is, I assume, a homegrown video using the music of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". The lyrics, they came up with themselves. Everyone can carry a tune. That is not so in my family. 

Please retroactively enjoy, "Bohemian Trumpsody", by the Marsh Family.

Mayor Pete would be a great President but needs to be VP to whomever runs. Maybe Newsome. But the Dems better communicate a progressive vision for American. Not Trump is no good. Where there is no vision the people persish.

You are going to have a long time healing wounds - I grew up on the "Border Line " (See the Hockey song by Warren Zevon ) and have always considered myself of being as American as Canadian-until 2016.
Now I am faced with the fact that for the second time in 8 yrs Americans have revealed that 50% of them are facsists and Damn near 99% are fellow travellers-not that we are much better with near 40% declaring themselves Quislings willing to sell the rest of us to the latest Reich to the south.
Please-we need a Roosevelt or Truman to speak the truth,

Blog Fodder - I agree on Pete. Great choice for VP, but his homosexuality makes him a bad candidate for President. It shouldn't matter, but it does to too many people. As far as strategy goes, I don't know if better communicating a progressive vision is the answer for the next Presidential election. A message designed for the Center might be a smarter move.

Blair - "You are going to have a long time healing wounds"

I hear ya. I was referring to the wounds of losing the election. They are but surface wounds and will heal with time.

I may be wrong, but I am guessing you are referring to the wounds being inflicted since the Right put a stranglehold on the USA after the Shit Gibbon was inaugurated. I would definitely agree with you there. What we are facing is either going to change this country forever or it will make us stronger in the end.
