Thugs, Ghouls and Bullies

Happy Veteran's Day to all of our Servicemembers and their families.  I was part of that 'family' for 14 years, doesn't that deserve more credit than at least our President, with his bone spurs?  I just learned of this statue, isn't it great?

Lest you think I'm too loose with my nouns:  Thug, originally from 19th century Sanskrit, meaning "thief," "cheat," or "swindler".  I'm certainly not accusing Mr. President of physically attacking another man; not with his infirmities, no, no, no...

Steven Miller, our latest Chief of Staff.  My first thought:  what a ghoul, and people seem to agree.  He looks like our version of Hitler's Himmler, performing similar tasks for his boss.  I hear tell people are refusing jobs they've pined after their entire careers because they don't want to work with Miller.

Hell, I wouldn't want to stand within 10 feet of the guy let alone WORK with him, brrrr......

And rounding out the Trifecta: the Republican's personal Pit Bull, Jim Jordan; set to replace House Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership of the upcoming Minority caucus.  I'm sure most of us would have preferred Steve Scalise, who seems more human(e).  Remember him getting shot on the ball field?  At least he bleeds red.

Jim Jordan, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who as late as last year was deposed for an old skeleton which refuses to stay in his closet; from the Ohio Capitol Journal:

"In new documentary, former Ohio State wrestlers say U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan knew about Strauss abuse"

And did nothing.  I'm no more concerned about Jordan's future tirades than I am a pesky fly.  He's being released to do nothing but draw our attention towards (the schenanigans of) the White House rather than focus on what honorable people are trying to accomplish (hope you understand what I'm tryin' to say).  Or, as in this case, detract from the ____house below.

Jordan will undoubtedly annoy the hell out of us...but he can only accomplish that if we allow him to.  I'm going to do my best to remember The Fly and I recommend you do the same.  It's like they say - Trump's a cornered animal in his final thrashing about.   Pace yourselves, for he's not done yet.

Unfortunately, we've arrived at the point when sexual assault seems piddly compared to things like, oh, I don't know, publicly defending your uber-wealthy donor; who must have had a reason for sleeping with a Chinese spy.  After all, he did.

Had a reason, I mean.
