Mid-Week Moans and Groans

 In the early 1960's, we lived on MacDill AFB in Tampa. At the time, I frequently heard the expression, "That gripes my ass." As I rarely heard it in the following years, I just assumed it was some kind of military slang. In the sixty or so years since then, I have heard that expression three or four times. I really never understood the proper use of the expression until Joe Biden became President. Now I find myself using it more regularly. 

A few days ago, I used that phrase during a telephone conversation with a friend. He said, "Wow! You have added something to your profanity collection." I told him, "I learned that living on base in the 1960's. I have been saving it. I never had a use for it until Biden was elected." We both laughed.

So, do you know what gripes my ass today? The Clown Princess of the United States, Kamala Harris. Or if we are to believe Drew Barrymore, who tried to sit on Kamala's lap during an interview, "Mamala." We need Kamala as our nation's Mamala, like a fat guy needs Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies to lose weight. After that line, you should cackle like Kamala. Keep Kamala Kackling, the new KKK.

How about that guitar player and singer, Secretary of State Antony Blinken? He was in Kiev yesterday serenading the locals in a nightclub. Don't quit your day job, Tony. On one hand the schmucks in Washington keep telling us that the Ukraine is about to collapse, but on the other hand things are good enough for Blinken to sing a few songs in a bar. Nothing will keep the Russians out of the Ukraine quicker then Blinken on a guitar. That may violate the laws of war.

Someone on Fox said that Blinken was channeling his inner Huckabee. We aren't paying Huckabee to be the Secretary of State.

Maybe the Bidens, Joe and Hunter, could team up with Blinken and form a singing trio. They could call themselves Winken, Blinken and Nod. Obviously, the senior Biden would be Nod.

In New York, Fat Alvin Bragg has finished the presentation of his case without telling anyone what the law that he claims Trump broke actually was. Maybe his partner in crime, Judge Merchan, is going to explain it to the jury. If we had a real Department of Justice, they would be investigating the New York legal system instead of helping them.

Stormy Daniels' husband said that if Trump is acquitted, they will probably leave the country. WOW! We may need to shut down all of the porn sites on the Internet in mourning.

Phony Special Counsel Jack Shit is upset that Judge Cannon is not at all concerned with his schedule. She seems to want to clear up some of the little things before the trial. Things like how Jack Shit had Trump's security clearance retroactively revoked. Maybe she wants to know why the FBI staged photos of documents to which they attached phony Top Secret cover sheets. Trump didn't spread documents all over the floor, the FBI did.  Then there is the pallet of documents that the GSA shipped to Mar-A-Lago when Trump left the White House. If he wasn't supposed to have them, why did the GSA ship them to him?  

And that's what "gripes my ass" this week.
