I swear to shit, if I hear about one more person piss and bitch about Bret Kavanaugh and say, “I thought he was a shit choice from the start,” I’m going to start blocking people.

I don’t know anyone who wasn’t happy about the pick originally, because he was a Trump pick. That he’s become a fairly predictable liability since he was confirmed is definitely the truth. But here’s the thing. Is he ruling the way he is because he’s a closet liberal, or because he has a fine-tuned concept of what the Supreme Court’s role really is in this Republic?

The law is the law. If you don’t like the law, you have to elect legislators who will fix the law. The courts are not where you go to get that remedy, and they have said so repeatedly. Yes, the Supreme Court stayed the OSHA mandate, and rightly so, because OSHA doesn’t have the power to regulate outside the workplace. The other case was less clear, but what was clear about it is that the government has overreached and needs to be pruned back.

The real question is whether the Federal Government has overstepped its Constitutional authority. But it’s been doing that for a hundred years. Where has the Court been? We can argue that for days, but earlier Courts have let things slide because of doctrines like stare decisis. You don’t want the law to change every generation, or every time the government switches hands. You need continuity. The problem is, the continuity we have took a wrong turn at Albuquerque sometime back in the first half of the 20th Century, if not earlier.

Sometimes you just can’t overturn a rule. Sometimes rules have backing at law (regardless whether the law is a ass). The Court is not a super-legislative body; unless something is clearly an overstep of authority, all it can do is point out where the Legislative and Executive branches have fucked up and recommend by its actions that maybe that ought to get a second look by the people who were elected to make the laws and uphold them.

But for fuck’s sake, stop blaming Bret Kavanaugh for the woes of the world. The law is the law. Throw the bums out of the White House and the Congress if you want the law to change. And then damn well dog the heels of the replacements you elect to make sure they follow through.

Seen on MeWe.

WISH-TV 8 (what used to be the local CBS affiliate until it switched to WTTV-4) publishes this screed entitled

Study shows Indiana ranks as least safe state during pandemic

I won’t bother to quote any of it, but the fact is, what this really means is Indiana is one of the free states who told the fearmongers to go fuck themselves.

We’d be more free and probably more safe if we had a governor like Florida’s, but until we get rid of Dog Daddy Holcomb, we’re sort of fucked in that department.

At any rate, I’m not vaxxed, I don’t wear masks, I don’t socially-distance, and I haven’t been sick since November 2019, when I assume I had an early round of WuFlu before anyone knew what it was.

So fuck you, WISH-TV 8, and fuck the pollster I never fucking heard of before, too.  This is clearly a skewed political survey meant to make blue states look better than red states, if you get into the methodology and the numbers used.  And it probably uses the death numbers that are already suspect because of the “died from/died with COVID-19″ distinction, along with the fact that the PCR tests couldn’t tell the difference between the flu and the WuFlu, so every positive test was presumed to be WuFlu.

People with brains that aren’t completely full of mush have been saying this all along, but here we are almost two years in (and indeed, just over two years since I had a two-week bout of something that, if it wasn’t the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was something pretty damn near like it) and this news still can’t seem to get mainstream press.

If You’ve Had COVID You’re Likely Protected for Life

If you’ve had COVID-19, even a mild case, major congratulations to you as you’ve more than likely got long-term immunity, according to a team of researchers from Washington University School of Medicine. In fact, you’re likely to be immune for life, as is the case with recovery from many infectious agents — once you’ve had the disease and recovered, you’re immune, most likely for life.

Let’s Go Brandon!

IT’S A FUCKING COLD.  THEY ARE LYING TO YOU BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CONTROL YOU.  AND THEY’RE SUCCEEDING, YOU FUCKING FOOLS.

The truth you claim to be true, Ron Klain, is actually a bald-faced lie.

Ron Klain wouldn’t know the truth if it kicked him in the face.  Which would improve his looks, by the way.  Not by much, but still.

I’m ashamed to say this cocksucker went to my high school.

And whoever is writing tweets for his boss is also a dick with no compassion whatsoever.

These Communists need to be removed immediately from positions of power and never allowed to hold jobs in the public service again…except maybe as dog catchers or outhouse cleaners.  Nah, just outhouse cleaners, dogs haven’t done anything to deserve this sort of treatment.

[Closes eyes, raises hand to forehead, intones]

A pack of dogs, a carton of cigarettes, and Joe Biden.

Some mutts, some butts, and a putz.

This is probably at least one reason why I don’t identify as a Republican. Because I don’t support pot legalization.

Yes, yes, I know, War on Drugs huge waste of time and treasure, blah blah blah. I myself think the administration of Narcan should be outlawed for the meth heads and other idiots who OD on things like fentanyl. Clearly people who do that kind of shit have a death wish, so grant it and let a Judge in a higher court deal with them. But, that has nothing to do with pot.

On the other hand, pot is as much of a cancer on society as anything else that clouds the mind. And no matter what the “experts” say, that shit will cause actual cancer, just like the cigarettes the same group of busies have been trying to outlaw for the past fifty years.

And you can also bet that if any government is eager to legalize any kind of recreational drug, it’s because they want the populace sedated and easy to manipulate.

On the gripping hand, I did read the article, and I looked at the internals they quoted, which do not match up with Abdul’s first-line assertion that “There’s a new poll out that shows a majority of Republicans in Indiana favor some form of legalization when it comes to marijuana.”  But see for yourself:

The results of the BK Strategies poll were pretty similar to one conducted by Indy Politics back in August. We surveyed more than 400 Marion County voters and found two-thirds of voters (65%) support the full legalization of recreational and medicinal use of marijuana, with an additional 20% supporting the legalization of marijuana strictly for medicinal use.

76% of Democrats, 62% of Independents, and 51% of Republicans support full legalization, with an additional 17% of Democrats and Independents, and 26% of Republicans supporting the legalization of marijuana for medicinal use.

The BK Strategies poll surveyed 600 likely general election voters with an additional oversample of 100 Republican voters and had a margin of error of +/-4.0 %. The Republican-specific date had a margin of error of +/-5.3%.”

You surveyed MARION COUNTY REPUBLICAN VOTERS? Shit, dawg — Marion County voters are more likely to vote RINO than true conservative, or not vote at all, which is at least part of how we got the Big Dem Moron In Charge on the 25th floor of the City-County Building. (A lousy GOP candidate offered up for sacrifice was another.) I’m hardly surprised MARION COUNTY REPUBLICAN VOTERS are in favor of pot legalization.

Why don’t you do a statewide poll and see what Indiana GOP voters think?
