Ooops…Wrong Digit

As I have mentioned before I have a “Not My President” bumper sticker on my pickup.  When first on I was getting flipped off regularly.  Now… not so much.  Although yesterday a fellow in an older pickup in the fast lane paced me for so long in rush hour that he had traffic backed way up in that lane.  I am sure he wanted me to look over so he could flip me off.  I never gave him the pleasure.

More than once I have had a person pull up next to me, honk and then flip me off.  Today I am driving home in rush hour traffic when a car pulls alongside and honks.  I just knew I was getting flipped off so I automagically started erecting my middle digit to respond.  Much to my surprise he was giving me the thumbs up.  I hastily retracted my middle finger and tried to pretend I had been doing something else with it.

Maybe the tide is turning.

Step on THE Scale, Sir

I recently had some minor outpatient surgery.  I am in the prep room beforehand, and the nurse is taking my vitals.  She asked, “How tall are you?”

I responded, “Six feet, two inches.”

She then tells me to step outside the room and step on the scale.

I quipped, “Could I just not tell you my weight like Trump?”

This particular nurse either did not have a sense of humor (although I thought I was outrageously funny), or she was a Trumpster.  She said, “Please step on the scale, sir.”

Ironically the scale registered exactly 239 pounds.

The nurse did not quite see the irony, either. Oh well.

Now That Is Different

The picture attached is a picture of the back window of my pickup truck. I’ve had it on there since Inauguration Day. Initially I was being flipped off regularly. I have not been done so for several months now.

I am leaving work from downtown St. Louis, and I realize I need gas.  I swing off I-64 to a QT close to downtown.  This is a particularly busy QT.  I get out of my truck, swipe my credit card and start gassing up.  I notice a car pull into the pump behind me and someone get out.  I am not paying that much attention to them.

I’m watching the numbers spin dollars out of my checking account when I hear, “Now that is different.”

I look up and at the back of my pickup is a middle aged black man with graying hair.  I look at him quizzically.  He points to my bumper stickers and says, “Now that is different, a black man who supports Trump, and a white man who does not.”

I look at him, and agree that yes that is very different, and we give each other a fist bump.

I want to ask him why, but did not really want to get into a political discussion at the gas pumps in downtown St. Louis.  Plus I’m not sure any answer would have made sense to me.  It is very perplexing as, IMHO, Trump is a huge racist.

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #3,265

yeah I know you did not ask!

What strange times we live in.  Here I am rooting for the porn star Stormy Daniels @StormyDaniels over the so called President of the United States Gospodin Trump @realDonaldTrump I so hopes she takes him down. I so hope she demonstrates beyond any doubt what the whole world already knows.  That he is awful human being who should be in prison. #WorstPresidentEver

Respect for the Office of POTUS

I do not think Obama was a great President, but I do think he was a good President. I do believe that if we had not had a Republican congress hell bent on creating a shit-hole of a banana republic out of this country for their rich sponsors, he might have been a great President.  He was a bit of a disappointment to me as a progressive as he listened to the military much too much, and I found him to be somewhat conservative.  20 or 25 years ago, his policies would have been Republican policies.

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought # 6,587

yeah I know you did not ask!

For the sake of me I cannot understand why anyone who self-identified as a Christian would have voted for Effingham Trump.  He is the antithesis of all I understand to be Christ’s teaching.

I was ruminating on this and I came up with this theory. They actually believe Effingham Trump to be the Anti-Christ.  As such he is going to hasten the days of Revelation that so many them seem to be waiting for so they will be raptured to heaven.  It is the only thing that makes sense to me.

Flood Trump’s Twitter Feed

I have no delusions that this will go anywhere, but I do wish it would.  I think we need to flood Effingham Trump’s Twitter feed with postings of this sort.  Not sure how much good it would do as he is too stupid and too narcissistic to take a nation hating him to heart.    But I can hope.  Maybe if we overwhelmed his Twitter account, we would not be constantly exposed to his obscene comments.

Add to  this “cluster Effingham” the enabling, bought and paid for Republican Congress and this nation has essentially put a gun to its head and pulled the trigger.

I do wonder how long before I am blocked from posting on Effingham Trump’s Twitter feed. This is not the first time I’ve been outraged and done something like the below.

Effingham Trump’s Island

I have this on going fantasy.  Unfortunately, the technology is not available so I will need alien intervention.  When I say alien, what I really mean is extra-terrestrial beings with advanced technology.

My fantasy is this.  I want to locate an island somewhere of reasonable size that will remain a reasonable size despite global warming.  I want it to be in a part of the world where the temperatures are somewhat temperate, neither excessive cold or excessively hot.  The island will have an abundant supply of fresh water.

Around this island I want to create a force field that will allow the elements, animals, etc. in and out.  This force field will not be passable by human beings, except to deposit certain individuals.  There will be no communication between the individuals on this island and the outside world.  The one exception being hand gestures as I would want cameras all over the island.  These cameras would be connected to the Internet so the world could observe.
