MAYBE I’M AMAZED
Our "Maybe I'm Amazed" logo.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that President Trump has claimed that the reason why the Florida shooter’s behavior fell through the cracks was because the FBI was concentrating too much on proving Russian collusion. This disgraceful tweet are examples of three things we should ask about him.
a. Why he doesn’t know about the FBI and how it works?
b. What he doesn’t know about his own god damn appointments? It was Trump who appointed Robert Mueller as Special Prosecutor. Does he really think that ALL of the FBI agents are working for Mueller?
c. Trump is not very smart in the traditional sense. I still think he paid someone to take his tests at Wharton. But he is cagey and wily putting any street thug in New York to shame with his instinct for survival.
But this Tweet clearly indicates that he smells fear.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…that an ant’s sense of smell is stronger than a dog’s.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the new GOP term for those people decrying gun violence and the availability of firearms now have a new buzz word. Instrumentality. Really? They haven’t done anything because they have had the power to do so since 2010 when they took over the House. Thoughts and prayers, people kill, not guns, 2nd Amendment and now instrumentality.A new word in the GOP do nothing playbook.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……that poor Jim Bakker, that scam Evangelist preacher from the 80s was scorned by his fellow bible thumpers when it was uncovered that he was paying money to one of his staffers, Jessica Hahn.
Equally amazing to me is that when it was uncovered that the President was paying off a porn star before the election, the sainted oh so God loving and fearing Christian Evangelicals are willing to give Trump a mulligan. Hypocritical you say? Well to quote Winston Churchill who once said to a woman seated next to him at a dinner party:
“Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?"
Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"
Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!"
Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED………that the big brawl on a Carnival Cruise ship started over someone stepping on a shoe. A sandal if you will. A large bunch of slobs who have the money to piss away on a Cruise (my God pick a more classier line will ya) retaliated against people on the ship. It got to the point where the ships Captain called the police and had the 25 stupid bastards off the ship. At first I figured it was transplant New York A holes from the Carolinas but it turned out to be a large family of Italians who decided to be ocean fighting idiots.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..at shows that Mrs. LuLac watches on TV. One is “Say Yes To the Dress”. I hear it while I work on my writing and if some of these people on the show are indicative of America, we are screwed.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that in just under 5 weeks major league baseball begins. A big disappointment for me will be the complete sell off of the Pittsburgh Pirates team. But the good news is the Rail Riders staff is being aggressive. I only attended two games last year but already I am getting calls from the staff at the Stadium to buy for 2018. And I will.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that flying under the radar last week given the wife beater-security clearance was this jewel. George David Banks resigned after learning that his past marijuana use would keep him from receiving a security clearance, according to a Politico report.
Banks, who advised the White House on energy and environment was a member of the National Economic Council.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..never to underestimate the power of the yard sign. Many political analysts say that the multitude of signs for Doug Jones vs Roy Moore had a huge impact in that Alabama special election. No wonder why so many local candidates, especially in the Scranton area pepper those front lawns with those signs.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that after so many well wishers bestowing great thoughts on my recent birthday, the next question they ask is “Will you retire at 65?” With God’s good grace, I just want to get to Medicare. In terms of employment, I just might work part time because there is nothing on daytime TV. My God, they gave Robert Irvine a show and the last time I saw him on TV he was fixing up restaurants. Slim pickings.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that two major Supermarket chains in the U.S. are in jeopardy. Bi-Lo, which is the company behind the Winn-Dixie chain, is preparing for a filing as soon as March, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the process isn’t public. The owner of Tops Friendly Markets, meanwhile, could potentially seek court protection from creditors as soon as this month, people familiar with that situation said. There is a Tops store up in Wysox and Towanda.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED………that the Fox/Trump News network has taken on LeBron James for speaking his mind regarding the integrity and decorum of the President. James made the very good point that youngsters growing up always looked to the President as someone who if not inspiring, was at least a leader. Well the Fox sucks ups, especially Laura Ingram essentially attacked James for his grammar and his opinion. They told him to shut up.
This is what they do when they have no argument. Fox News has alienated women, people of color and immigrants, both legal and those on work permits. The only audience they have are white males and their female counterparts who can’t get over the fact that our country has changed. Big time. No one of celebrity comes on Fox except has been actors. Since they cannot even understand pop culture, they tell it to shut up.
And their base laps it up. But that my friends won’t last forever.

"The price of the modern day Evangelical whores is Trump’s policies against gays, women and people of color."
Much like the price of the feminist whores who supported Bill Clinton. After all, politics does make strange bedfellows.
Laura Ingram got just what she wanted, people talking about her and her show.
Can't stand Nancy Kman's doppelganger, but she is successful (and extremely wealthy - she isn't waiting for medicare to simply survive) at what she does because she knows how to play the fools who hate her.
"But this Tweet clearly indicates that he smells fear."
Perhaps, but what makes me nervous about Trump, what has always made me nervous about him, is that he rarely loses.
Among his many victories:
Goes up against well established republicans in the primary - Trump wins.
The DNC colludes to clear the field and get the wife of the Democratic Party hero an easy and unscathed path into the general election - Trump wins.
FBI director tries to play both sides during the election - Trump wins.
NFL players stage a protest against police brutality against African Americans, Trump changes the narrative - the NFL and networks stop airing the playing of the Anthem, Trump wins.
Small market shock talk jock attacks him - Corbett fired, Trump wins.
ESPN anchor of its biggest show calls Trump a racist - Jemele Hill is relegated to a little read ESPN web platform, Trump wins.
Democrats start positioning Minnesota Senator for presidential bid, some ridiculous claims from decades ago surface - Al Franken, tucks his tail and resigns in disgrace, Trump wins.
I really believe that Trump was the one selling Teflon to John Gotti. Gotti may have gone down, but if all else fails, Trump has the same trump card to play that Nixon did - he resigns, Pence is elevated to President, pardons Trump - Trump goes back to reality TV makes tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, and Trump wins.
It's fun to hear all the Republicans howling because they no longer have a congressional district map that bends over backward to favor them.
Welcome to democracy, people!

Big difference between bringing people up vs keeping people down. But I understand the strict parallel you are making.
Predictably, Dan Meuser is upset that he can't run for Congress in Barletta's old district, which was designed to grease the skids for his party (you know, the one with the reprobate leader). The court did nothing more than create a neutral map, but the GOP has grown accustomed to having its thumb on the scale.
I'm in your new district, Mr. M., and I can't wait to vote against you. I bet you wish you could suppress my vote, eh?
And, as you just did, which is the problem, each side makes excuses and justifications for their hypocrisy and are blind to it.
What you have just said is that it is okay to allegedly have raped, sexually assaulted and abused a position of power for sexual purposes and help cover it up and destroy the acccusers, as long as you are helping others.
It is really sad how little women are respected when transgressions against them are excused for "the greater good."
Donald Trump and Bill Clinton are cut from the same disgusting cloth; to them women are to server their purpose, whether it is politics, business or pleasure - and those who defend them probably have the same womanizing tendencies, or are simply blinded by hatred for the other side.
There is no difference in sexually assaulting women. You are as bad and as sick as Trump supporters. It is obvious you don't have a daughter.
7:27 a.m., you should relax a bit.
He holds sway in the GOP, for now, but you can only so far in our political system with 35% or so support. If Dems and Indies turn out for the midterms as apparently they will, Trump will do well to stay in office. Yes, Pence can pardon him, but that means Trump is out of office and he can't get absolution for his state crimes.
Trump appears to have no idea how to get out of his current dilemma, which is especially applicable if he proves to be as guilty as he appears.
Yes, if he somehow can avoid prosecution he may still have a career in reality television. But wouldn't that be like Obama going to work in a store? (Noble work, to be sure, but not the career path we expect of an ex-President.) And he'll have to take off plenty of time to visit his friends in prison!

IN RESPONSE
There is no distinction between the two. I said I got and understood the parallel. The point was made that the Democratic women turned a blind eye to Clinton for their support.
All I said was there was a distinction between the stakes.
If you are a Republicans, your stakes are different than Dems.

Nope didn't mean it that way. See above.
Maybe if the party did repudiate him, Al Gore might have been President and history might have been different. But they didn't and this is what we have. No excuses for the greater good and the distinctions I mentioned are in the eyes of the beholders.
Your defense and denial at least show you are consistent in your hypocrisy. It is a good thing you don't have a daughter, I am sure you would pimp her out and tell her to take it for any "good" democrat.
Hey 8:42.....
in case you haven't noticed, Yonki has gotten to the point where he is just going after everybody. In my world there are no good Republicans or Democrats. So too with Yonki. You most likely sit on your ass and go nowhere of consequence.
But you should have been at a debate/forum for the School Board candidates last year hen Yonk started reaming out the Democrats about being members of the political club.
I think the moderator was hitting his pants because he called them all out for taking care of their own.
Let's face facts, the people given their own devices might stray. No one put a gun to Marilyn Monroe with JFK, Monica with Bill or even TRump to the Playboy bunny.
Doing wrong is a sin that is weighed on a scale. And the social hypocritical sins of the GOP are way bigger than the Dems. Look at that hypocrite in Missouri who had the affair, then took photos of the woman, then tried to blackmail her.
There are degrees of sleaze my friend, and the family loving, bible kissing, gay hating GOP hogs are better than the Democratic pigs.
Remember, hogs get slaughtered, pigs eat. In 2018 which party do you think will do better?
I'm betting on the pigs.
9:34 I don't think I have ever heard such blithering stupidity outside of Donald Trump.
I was going to answer, but I am not sure I can dumb my thinking down enough to have a conversation with who basically just wrote:
Democrat Good
Republican Bad
