Selected snippets from a year's worth of blog posts.
There was an all-consuming focus in 2018, and not just for Buster. It could be no other way.
January -- Her Generous Offer. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is offering to lie for free during the shutdown. "Now more than ever it's important that the stream of falsehoods and distortions from this White House continues," Sanders said.
February -- Blaming "Mental Health" Is An Excuse. Republicans have a thousand excuses. Whenever a mass shooting happens, if it's a Muslim, they want to politicize it within seconds and blame all of Islam. If it's a Mexican, build the wall! If it's a black person, we need more cops and prisons! But if it's a white person, it's a mental health issue, an isolated instance, "just one crazy dude."
March -- The Three Branches of Government. They are the Legislative, the Judicial, and Fox News.
April -- Hostages Forced to Recite Propaganda on Local TV. Local TV news broadcasts have never been known for top-notch journalism, but the affiliates of the Sinclair Broadcasting Group have given up all semblance of factual, honest reporting and degenerated into pure propaganda. Local station mangers receive "must-run" scripts from the higher-ups, which are nothing more than agitprop pieces kissing Trump's ass and spreading his fake news for stupid people.
May -- Our National Image Abroad. Remember when America was a well-respected global leader? You know, any time before January 20, 2017. Things have changed.
June -- Let's Do This Deal Before the Trading Deadline. Even though "open borders" is a fear-mongering myth, here's the deal from Trader Buster: I will take all the Hondurans, Guatemalans, Central Americans and Mexicans who want to come to America, and in exchange I'll deport Trump, his family, all the Republicans, and all the MAGAts. They can go. And I'll even throw in a fascist-to-be-named-later.
July -- Where Do We Go From Here? After watching Trump's weak and pathetic press joint conference, his fawning deference to a thug dictator, I believe Putin has a hell of a lot more "kompromat" on him than a simple pee tape. Where do we go from here? Trump is a dangerously inept fraud. He's gotta go ASAP. Voting him out would be most satisfying. We may not be able to wait that long.
August -- The Goverment We Deserve? "In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve." The 35% are getting the government they deserve, but the rest of us deserve better -- much, much better. It starts to get better in November. VOTE! And vote smart. You know what that means.
September -- Good News, Bad News. Isn't it amazing how often two people can observe the exact same thing and yet arrive at two diametrically opposed conclusions. Regarding Brett Kavanaugh, I see a drunken, partisan, lying, belligerent, self-pitying sack of monkey shit. They see a Supreme Court Justice.
October -- More DNA Testing. DNA testing has revealed that Donald Trump Jr. is 50% idiot. Speaking to reporters, Trump Jr. said he had undergone the testing "to silence all of the haters who have been saying I'm a total idiot."
November -- How To Get On His Good Side. Remember the steps: 1. Enrich him personally. 2. Give him a political talking point to exaggerate beyond belief. 3. Brutally kill and dismember a newspaper columnist (an enemy of the people). Do this, and you too can be Donnie Dumpster's best friend, just like MBS.
December -- We Need Another Goldwater Moment. We could use another Goldwater moment today, where influential Republicans would speak truth to the party's purported leader, explain to him that his presidency is doomed, and they will no longer provide him with drooling lap-dog obedience.
2018 was a year unlike any we ever seen. Let's hope 2019 works out better. There's always hope, right?
