Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Are We Completely Helpless And Powerless?


Our feckless leader delights in provoking and insulting North Korea, pulling us ever-closer to an unthinkable disaster.

He re-tweets racist Islamophobic propaganda videos, in open support of white supremacy and hatred.

He pushes the spineless GOP to pass a terrible tax cut bill which will jack up the deficit and reward big business and the wealthy, while doing nothing (or less) for anyone else.  The bill also sabotages the ACA and is hugely unpopular with the public, but Congressional Republicans don't give a shit.  They will disregard our wishes, cram it down our throats at warp speed, and call it a "win."  What's lost is any remnant of genuine representative democracy.

As sexual predators suddenly drop like flies, he endorses a child molester for the U.S. Senate and mocks others accused of sexual harassment, while pretending his own myriad accusers are lying and taped evidence against him is fake.

Tax returns?  Russia?  Corruption?  Does anything matter anymore?

Our nation's highest office is held by a demented pig.  Is there nothing we can do?  Are we completely helpless and powerless?

This is an absolute low point for America.  We are living a national disgrace, with an onslaught of fresh horrors every day.  Yes, it's fatiguing, but we mustn't lose our sense of outrage.  If you're not pissed off, there's something wrong with you.

It's time to impeach.  Past time.  In any other job setting, this dangerous dotard would've been canned long ago.  But somehow, in the most important job in the world, the castrated and enabling GOP looks away and has "no comment."  To them, our very own Idiot Amin has done nothing to warrant impeachment.

So, in 2018 and again in 2020, it will be up to us to restore order, dignity, and good sense to our government.  If you vote for a Republican, you're a damn fool.
