today's rant: what I learned in 2019

In 2019:
- I learned that when my daughter throws a bowling ball, it looks like she’s performing a Kamehameha, a la Dragon Ball.
- I learned how cutthroat a child’s gingerbread house competition is.  My daughter’s gifted program had a gingerbread house competition.  Translation:  a lot of parents built gingerbread things for their kids.  Some of these fucks cheated!  Graham crackers are not gingerbread, dipshits!  One family built a Death Star, perfectly round.  How the fuck is that gingerbread?  They served Little Caesars pizza for everyone who paid to get in.  I came to the realization that Little Caesars pizza tastes like what happens when the Pillsbury Dough Boy ejaculates on himself right before falling backwards into an oven that was not properly preheated.  Who the fuck adds muenster cheese to pizza?  Are you high?!  Absolutely nothing that sounds German or like “monster” should be near pizza.  You people should be ashamed of yourselves for inventing it.
- I learned that Rick Santorum appears on CNN.  It is really surreal to see Anderson Cooper and Rick Santorum sitting at the same table on CNN.  If I were Anderson Cooper, I would smack Santorum in his fucking face with a rainbow-colored mace every day he is on.
- I’ve learned my son must have a bladder the size of a thimble.  He interrupted “The Rise of Skywalker” 6 times to go to the bathroom.  “Mommy, can I have some water?”  And I had to respond, “I’m not mommy, and no, you shouldn’t drink anymore because we don’t want to miss the movie.”  Then he surreptitiously gets the water and shamelessly does the potty dance and holds his genitals over his pants like he’s keeping loose jelly beans in the wrong place.
- I learned what a black hole looks like, and it’s kinda cool.
- I learned that California will never not be on fire.
- I learned just how gaping wide Donald Trump’s asshole is from the rigorous fucking he gets from Putin.
- I have not learned what Brexit is going to do because it was delayed repeatedly.

At the point I am writing this piece, the US House of Representatives is close to voting whether to impeach President Orange Julius on the charges of “abuse of power” and “obstruction of Congress”.  As I have predicted, there is no objectivity.  Democrats vote one way, Republicans vote the opposite, so none of them really care.  The charges could be ridiculous, and the argument would be the same.  “The President stuck his erect penis into a jar of grape jelly, then returned it to the fridge.”  “No, he didn’t!  You’re just upset he got elected!”  Personally, I want to believe he abused his power, and I think he does ALL THE FUCKING TIME, but I need more proof than Sondland concluding to himself that Ukraine financial aid was dependent on investigating a political rival.  I need to hear more people close to the big orange talking head testify.  At least obstruction of Congress was proven, because President Cheetos McHairpiece told people not to testify, and is a slam dunk of a charge, but don’t expect 20 Republican Senators to care about that until a Democrat is in trouble.  It is much more likely that the vote will be split because the Democrats will vote for conviction purely for political reasons and the Republicans will vote for acquittal purely for political reasons.  Again, the only positive thing we can get out of this impeachment vote is to get everyone voting on the record and let history and the consequences judge the outcome.

If the US House of Representatives votes to impeach the President, that will be the 2nd impeachment of my lifetime.  For people like my older family members, it will almost be 3 times, because Nixon resigned before impeachment.  That seems a little weird.  Two impeachments within 20 years of each other.  At this rate, we’ll be having an impeachment every term by the time my kids are out of college.

This shit is ridiculous.  My federal government has lost its goddamn mind.  It’s the same shit back and forth.
Dems:  For the sake of my children and grandchildren…
Reps:  There is no high crime or misdemeanor…
Dems:  There is definitely a high crime or misdemeanor…
Reps:  Duly elected…
Dems:  We don’t want to impeach, but we’re left with no choice…
Reps:  They wanted this for 3 years…
Dems:  He admitted he wants another country to investigate a political rival…
Reps:  Forget about that.  Closed door hearings we weren’t allowed in…
Dems:  You people were in those hearings…
Reps:  Forget that, too.  He did nothing wrong…
Dems:  He abused his power…
Reps:  No, YOU abused your power…

What the fuck is the “duly elected president” phrase that the Republicans keep shitting out of their mouths?  I think they want to portray the idea that he was “properly elected”.  They’ve also thrown out the figure that 63 million people voted for him in 2016.  Yet they ignorantly leave out that 66 million people voted for Hillary.  I’d like to remind everyone that the last two Republican presidents entered office failing to win a majority of popular votes.  I’d also like to remind everyone that 66 is larger than 63.  Just ask any 7-year-old.  Fucking electoral college.  Abolish that shit!

These fuckers aren’t human.  They do not require food.  They are cyborgs and only require a little bit of sterile solution to keep their outer shell spongy.  And in the end, despite hours and hours of debating and reading speeches that after 8 hours have absolutely nothing else to contribute to the conversation, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary of what was expected happened in the final vote.  Stage 2 is complete.  Reality TV show host and casino bankrupter Donald John Drumpf has become the 3rd president in United States history to be impeached.  Seriously, after the first 7 hours of debating before the vote, doesn’t anyone in the House of Representatives stand up and say, “Seriously, why are we still talking?  We all know what’s going to happen.  I’m hungry.  Let’s vote, go out for dinner, go home, and masturbate.”
