WILL BUYDONE WAKE UP?

 

Tubularsock just wants to remind you:

Donald Trump is the result

Not the cause.

We got here because the corporate agenda of the neoliberal Democraps trammeled the advancement of regular people from obtaining a middle class level within our society.

Shipping jobs globally without providing a safety net for workers within our own country created an underclass not an advancing middle class.

Not creating a Medicare For All system, like every other modern industrial nation in the world, to protect our own citizens and thereby putting profit over people have devastated the well being of hundreds of thousands of citizens dragging many into homelessness and poverty.

And our policies of CONTINUED WAR for no other purpose than for mega-corporations to pull 60% of our tax dollars into their pockets has prevented advancement in our own country to improve the infrastructure, the education system, and so much more.

The Republican’ts are not blameless in all this societal degradation either. They have played along with the “two-party” as one-party system in order to trade power back and forth for the wealthy leaving the regular citizen to fend for themselves fighting over the waste scraps.

All this that has just happened with the “Trump Mob” is a knock on the door for a truly NEW DIRECTION.

We will see.

It will be an awakened Biden stepping out on the world stage to develop TRUE CHANGE THROUGHOUT, overpowering his propensity to look back and fall back asleep.

THIS IS IT!

Biden is at the split in the political road.

One: fall back on fucking Obummer’s HOPE & CHANGE bull shit and fuck the citizens, as he did.

OR

Two: blaze a NEW PATH and REALLY create hope and change.

The proverbial Ball is in his court!

Tubularsock does not have a lot of faith that Biden has the vision to do anything grand enough to pull us up out of the quagmire we are in as a society.

Empty words and no deeds won’t cut it any longer.

His cabinet picks look just like a fancy corporate Rolodex from the “good old days” and if his administration continues to short change the citizens in favor of the corporate order of things it will only prove that only MOB VIOLENCE is the only thing that they pay attention to and thus a governmental overthrow from the street is all that is left for the citizen to do.

And just a final word on diversity of the BUYDONE cabinet.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a women or a man or a tri-gender or a Black or a White or a Brown, an Asian or a Native American. None of that makes ANY difference if their mindset is the same.

Diversity of mind is what will bring about real change for all, not token colors and sexes.

THE TIME IS NOW!

CHANGE IT JOE OR WE ARE ALL DEAD!

IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL YOU FLUSH!

You know, Tubularsock can write about this total insane mess that we find ourselves until Hell freezes over and STILL it runs on like a full case of diarrhea!

So lets just get to the bottom line in a hurry so you can get back to dodging Covid.

Sure Tubularsock is thinking of you.

 

 

 

OH SURE THERE IS MORE TO SAY ………… BUT LATER.

 

AS OUR WORLD TURNS ENDING 2020

 

Well we are in the middle of it here in California. Tubularsock received an EMERGENCY TEXT on Tubularsock’s old flip phone with a screen the size of a postage stamp which read that Tubularsock was under an emergency stay at home order.

As you may recall Tubularsock lives on the top floor with a corner office in an underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA. (see Bunker Tour).

Now we have been in this situation before and Tubularsock because Tubularsock is in the essential service of political blogging Tubularsock believes Tubularsock can do as he wishes and does.

But while free floating Tubularsock wears a mask which many have said that Tubularsock looks better with a mask than without and Tubularsock does an 8’ social distance because why not? Tubularsock doesn’t like people that much anyway.

Several friends chastise Tubularsock for believing in the mask and social distancing but Tubularsock seldom worries what others think of him with a very solid view of FUCK YOU to go along with it.

Now it is not that Tubularsock believes in these tactics but it is because Tubularsock has learned the hard way that if one believes one can poke a bear in the eye because it appears to be sleeping perhaps one should heed the advice and not do that.

The Corona is difficult enough to get along with why poke it?

And Tubularsock is a big believer of YOU doing what you wish just stay away from Tubularsock while you do it.

Alas, this diatribe ends with more pressing thoughts on Tubularsock’s mind. But using Tubularsock’s ability of the ancient cave dwellers pictographic abilities Tubularsock has created a small series of pictographs to summarize for non-readers current topics of interest.

And besides, it saves letters for use in later manuscripts where a larger variety of the alphabet can be used. Don’t thank Tubularsock yet.

CAN IT BE MORE CLEAR?

A CLEAR VOTING STRATEGY.

 

THE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY.

ABOUT THE VOTE.

 

THE BOTTOM LINE.

STAY TUNED CHRISTMAS IS COMING.

 

 

 

 

 

CONGRESS: WE MUST HAVE OUR RECESS ……. IT’S OUR RIGHT!

 

Now with Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley coming together pushing for a second round of $1200.00 Stimulus Checks while the rest of Congress is willing to drop help to the American people and shore up the rich again is par for the course in Washington, D.C.

So there is little surprise there.

No money for people but plenty of money for war.

Does that seem a little distorted of a belief ideal?

But Mitch won his election bid in his state of Kentucky which is one of the poorer states which NEEDS stimulus and health care which Mitch has blocked.

And yet they still vote for him! Now who’s fault is that?

And Nancy has held up and prevented stimulus checks prior to the election so as not to allow the possibility of Trump taking credit for the checks.

And now here we are ……. and oh gosh, what to do? The Christmas Recess is upon us and Congress just must go home for Christmas.

Now Sanders and Hawley have vowed to block Congress from leaving town without an up or down vote on the stimulus.

It would be so much easier if it was a vote on adding an additional three trillion dollars to improve our drone fleet. We ALWAYS have bipartisan support for money for that with little or no debate.

Killing people is easier than keeping them alive.

THINK ON THAT! The next time you vote.

 

So let Tubularsock sum up for you with the help of visual aids for Americans who don’t like to read too much. Sure Tubularsock is looking after you. What are friends for anyway?

 

And once and for all let’s let go of that adage …… “With Age Comes Wisdom” as the horse shit that it happens to be!

 

 

And then there is this dead end street.

 

To acquire wisdom, well you have to be alive. These walking cadavers have cashed it in years ago! And WE are paying the price and then some. But who elected them ……….. well, take out a mirror.

This society needs to upgrade it’s consciousness and re-frame our priorities as the pandemic is pointing out to us.

And “getting back to fucking “normal” IS THE DIRECTION OF OBLITERATION. NEW NOW!

 

 

 

 

KAMALA HARRIS: THE BUS STOPS HERE!

 

Now isn’t America Great?

One moment you’re a little black girl being bused to a white school and the big old evil white man is attempting to stop the little girl and in the process praising segregationists.

And the next minute the big old evil white man is surrounded by Black children on a playground pronouncing that, “I love little children sitting on my lap”.

AND BAM ……… Kamala Harris becomes Joe Biden’s VP pick.

Gag Tubularsock with a spoon …………..

But hell it fits ……… A white guy who discouraged busing and passionately passing a crime bill that put more Blacks in jail than ever before and a mixed Black-Jamaican/Asian-Indian who helped put a huge numbers of Blacks into jail in California as well as working in court to uphold California’s death penalty, despite her personal opposition, and for her threats to jail parents of chronically truant schoolchildren.

Guess Black Lives Don’t Matter after all.

Anyway, does it matter?

There is no surprise here. The writing was on the wall the entire time. Kamala was able to turn, twist and sell out the few principled beliefs she held to be picked by the no principled doddering old white dude. The corrupt Corporate Democraps stand firm and are prepared to fuck over the working class in the name of …. “we are better fuckers than the corrupt Republican’ts”!

The bottom line YOU lose!

But not all is lost.

Looking for the silver lining?

Stay tuned ……… Remember, the fat lady STILL hasn’t sung yet!

TUBULARSOCK
“. . . first hand coverage, second hand news.”

 

MILQUETOAST UNITED!

Fucking gag, gag, gaging …… all the way to the polls
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily life among the trolls.

Well no surprise here.

O’Rourke, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg all rushed in to support their future with the Democraps.

What else could they do if they want to continue their groveling and pandering to the rich power brokers.

The trick is to keep your nose to the ground and your ass in the air. And they each seem really good at that for sure. And PROOF’S in the action!

And you’ll see Warren do the same thing.

Not that it matters but the little respect that Tubularsock had for Elizabeth over time has diminished to minus digits only because she sold out any principles she had along the way in part due to her ties with former Obummer advisors on her team. BAD CHOICE if you wish to end up with ANY integrity or respect.

But here is the bottom line:

The establishment Democraps, according to Dead-ol’-Joe, “. . . the people aren’t looking for revolution, they’re looking for results.”

And according to Bernie, “Let me be very clear, it is no surprise they (the establishment Democraps) do not want me to become president because our administration will transform this country to create an economy and a government that works for all of the people, not just the 1%”.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

Bernie continues, “It will not be the same old same old.

But the other reason I am running is to defeat Donald Trump.

And the fact of the matter is if we want to defeat Donald Trump, we’re going to need a campaign that has energy and excitement that can speak to working people, young people, people who have given up on the political establishment.”

It is odd that when Tubularsock looks at Biden, Tubularsock notices he’s NOT exactly dynamic.

Most likely because he hasn’t had a new idea since 1945! Oh well, nothing wrong with World War II ideas for the 21st Century, RIGHT? How far RIGHT?

Tubularsock just can’t wait to see if Americans are awaking that they have been duped by the milquetoasts or that if they will be fooled again.

We as a country have been needing a change in direction for a very long time but SEDENTARY is a very difficult habit to shift.

So if Bernie doesn’t pull this out of the hat with YOUR help then whether it’s Biden or Trump won’t make a bit of difference. THE SAME RICH WILL RUN THINGS!

However with Dump it will be a quicker death than with the drip, drip, drip Biden way.

Tubularsock can’t wait to see!

FOLLOWING OURSELVES: DON’T LOOK BACK!

Do you believe in Public Education? How about having a community Fire Department?

Do you believe in public owned roads and highways?

Should there be Public Libraries?

Public Parks and playgrounds? Federal National Parks?

Do you believe in the Social Security Program?

ARE YOU A SOCIALIST?

It is strange how “socialism” is defined in “U.S. public speak”.

Because of the fear of the Communism-Hang-Over from the 1950’s, Americans’ have been propagandized to believe that Socialism and Communism are the same thing.

THEY ARE NOT!

Even if Little-Squat-Goldbloom is willing to throw out verbal garbage at Bernie about being a Communist equating it with Socialism ……… Bernie’s retort was damn straight if you were paying attention.

“You say you don’t like socialism, but how is giving $2 trillion to corporations not socialism, just upside down socialism?”

You all remember that bull shit about “welfare queens” sucking off the system and just how appalled the Republican’ts were just a few years back.

But you hear very few Republican’ts and Democraps ever complain about gillions of dollars in government SUBSIDIES being passed out year after year to corporations without much oversight or care. THAT IS SOCIALISM FOR THE RICH!

Oh, just for the fun of it …… “Gosh, where will we get the money to pay for it?”
Remember we are talking about TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!

Funny how that phrase, “where will we get the money to pay for it” looks different based on who gets the money!

Now these corrupt practices are not a one party monopoly. Don’t forget it was Obummer, under the Democrap’s flag, that bailed out the banks and mortgage brokers after their shady deals with millions of dollars of Federal Funds while leaving the “regular” citizen holding the bag as thousands of them lost their homes.

Thank you so much Barack ………. BUT, “where will we get the money to pay for it”?

And then remember a bribe pay off can happen after an event as well as before.

Less than a year after leaving office Obama received $1.2 million for a series of speeches he made to major Wall Street Firms and Banks he helped bail out. About $400,000. per speech.

Pay off time baby!

And so many people STILL “respect” that scumbag! Fuckkkk! Some people are just not bright! Oh well, in America you are “free” to be stupid. It is just expensive!

But Socialism you are supposed to be AFRAID OF except the socialism for the rich.

So don’t say that Tubularsock didn’t attempted to awaken you.

Tubularsock has concluded that IF the Democraps double-deal Bernie and back Dead-Brain-Biden then the United States will STAY THE COURSE to its own destruction.

It is so uncanny that we are on a very similar trajectory as the Fall of the Roman Empire. (Seriously, check it out yourself)

Rather eery if you ask Tubularsock but it appears we are in lock step.

SO …….. perhaps History DOES repeat itself.

Now just where is that rewind?

WILLIAM BARR IT RUBS OFF!

OH YEAH ………. it is going to get wayyyyyyyy worse.

The Senators who were either too blind, which does happen when one has one’s head up one’s ass, or just too afraid of a “TWEET” or are just stupid are now going to see what they have created.

How on earth did any of them expect ANYTHING different.

And this missed placed belief that an “impeachment” WITHOUT removal would do anything rather than embolden a raving-mad-diarrhea-driven-stool like Dump ……… come on!

Is this really what Republicans are about ….. Dictatorship? Tubularsock doesn’t really think so. Tubularsock finds that the current Republicans misunderstood the depth of just how much of an irrational sociopath Trump really is and will now be attempting to catch up with the disaster they have unleashed. We shall see.

Oh not, of course, Lindsey Graham he likes it up his ass but Bill Barr, Mike Pence (ok maybe Mike ….(“Mother” won’t have anything to do with that!) but it’s ok with sheep as long as you’re Christian, whew … Mike’s safe. Baaaa?

Oh how Tubularsock digresses.

Bill Barr has become an embarrassment to the “rule of law”. Yes he is a conservative and yes he believes in a Strong Executive, but HANDING OVER THAT POWER to a pathological lying sociopath?

Just a little overboard, Bill.

But now Bill, ……… you’ll sink with THAT ship, you stupid fuck!

Tubularsock does hope at least that Christine, Bill’s wife, will move on after all this and find a man that has principles. Forty five years with a toady is like too long!

It’s sad really.

Tubularsock’s mother always said, “Be Careful who you associate with …… it rubs off!”

OH THIS AGAIN AND IN RED, WHITE & BLUE TOO!

 

A new normal? Nah …………….

Business as usual, that is really what we have here.
And Tubularsock believes that we have OrangeDump to thank for it.

Well, you can’t miss the 2016 “buy-in”, the Clinton take over of the DNC. It was only MONEY and if you have the CASH you have the control.

That was enough to rig the faithful Corporate Dems goal of a Killery candidate and the nail in Bernie’s forehead.

AND a guarantee of a Dump win.

And now we all know, if one cares to look, that the Russians had little to do with intervention into our 2016 election except their standard monkey wrench throwing into the mythical gears of democratic government.

NO, all Russia was involved in was the same routine deceptive meddling that the U.S. CIA has done to EVERY country’s elections on earth.

THAT IS THE JOB OF THE CIA …… to fuck up others elections for our ends!

So any Russian involvement was just business as usual.

THE REAL malfeasant entity was THE DEM-O-CRAP PARTY. And those ten gillion emails of Killery’s that went missing would easily show this. But ………ALL-GONE!

Well, if you sit in the same place long enough it all passes you again and if you are astute you’ll notice what you may have missed before.

So here we are again and, by golly, they are right on time! Consistency is the harbinger of those who produce ill intent!

The DNC of Nevada has just hired a paid staffer from Buttigieg’s Iowa organization, Emily Goldman to the PAID position of “Voter Protection Director.”

Tubularsock knows ……………… WHAT THE FUCK?

Well, Emily did so well in Iowa at throwing that preverbal monkey wrench into the Caucus System, that NEVADA HERE SHE COMES!

And the irony of irony, “Voter Protection Director.”

No seriously, this is real. Tubularsock can make shit like this up but doesn’t have to spend the time ……. lunacy abound!

Little is known what exactly the parameters of her new position will be but Tubularsock can guess, and has to, because Emily’s qualifications and biography have not as yet been released but to show FULL TRANSPARENCY she has locked her professional and private social media accounts after news of the hiring first broke.

That is one hell of a comfort for Tubularsock!

Some have stated that there seems to be increasing fears that party leaders are trying to rig the nomination in favor of the ex-mayor of South Bend, Indiana. No kidding … very astute!

You remember, in Iowa Pete’s campaign had paid Shadow, Inc., $42,500.00 last July for services and so did Biden’s and Klobuchar’s campaigns but to a far lessor amount. You get what you pay for, perhaps.

There were other ties between Mayor Pete and Shadow and reliable sources are reporting that Shadow Inc, a secretive company with ties to the tech team for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run, is the company behind the app.

Well, no shit Dick Tracy!

On top of all of that Bernie is showing rather well, Soooooo, ENTER the money again!

Oligarch Time!

The DNC bent over backwards and changed the rules for entering the Presidential Campaign when our home made oligarch Michael Bloomberg donated more than $100,000 to the DNC just days before he entered the race; candidates typically make such contributions to get access to the party’s national voter database.

But usually not in the middle of the process. MONEY speaks according to Citizens United!

Jeff Weaver, a senior adviser for Bernie Sanders, said it would be “wrong” to change rules that would “accommodate Mayor Bloomberg, who has raised no grassroots donations and is instead flooding the airwaves across the country funded by his billions of dollars of personal assets.”

BUT the truth was expressed better by a Bloomberg adviser when he addressed the REAL explanation, “Mike may end up as the only thing standing between Bernie and the nomination.” (Nathan J. Robinson, Current Affairs)

There you have it ………. the fix is in ………. OR NOT.

We have come full circle.

Will Americans fall for the OLIGARCH SAVIOR or an ORANGE CREATURE?

Excuse Tubularsock America, But really ……….

When was the last time has an Oligarch or an Orange Menace ever helped YOU out? NO REALLY!

It is time to change this up: Bernie 2020.

That is the ONLY chance for the SLIGHTEST shift in our current direction toward destruction.

AND DON’T NEGLECT to notice that even if Bernie Sander wins, the establishment will raise hell to stop “sharing the wealth” that has been created in our lopsided system!

A win is just the start of a gargantuan fight to the finish ……….

HELL, what else do you have to do?

AS THE EARTH TURNS: A SUMMARY

Oh boy. Tubularsock is sitting alone in his top floor corner office in the underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA (see Bunker Tour) and the view is surreal and down right depressing BUT ONLY IF you haven’t gotten on your protective Tubularsock over-gear protection attire from what’s really happening.

Fortunately you can purchase your very own TOGPA (Tubularsock over-gear protection attire) for an inexpensive 13 hundred dollars and change.

And then you-2 can be protected from the society you live in everyday.

Tubularsock set some time aside from the world of political decay to watch some current movie trailers. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with this society? THIS SHIT is entertainment?

They have got to be kidding. Destruction, mayhem, endless car chases to no where for no reason and broken, shattered, deformed, fucked up relationships that have absolutely NO-NONE-NADA reason to even care about the fucking outcome!

The end of civilization, end of communities, end of relationship and having one’s face ripped off like it is a mask by some freakish disembodied “thing” that resembles “your mother” and you are expected to eat hot buttered pop corn after THAT!

FUUUUUUUUUCK!

So, Tubularsock adjusted his TOGPA and pushed on to the political terrain and the daily happenings of “Western Civilization” and well, Tubularsock can’t tell the difference from the movie trailers.

Dump is out of control, Barr, jokingly the head of the “Justice” Department, is kowtowing to the OrangeDufus and throwing the rule of law out the window to allow Roger Stone to walk.

The few “headaches” of our military personal after the Iranian missile attacks in retaliation for Soleimani’s killing has morphed into many more dead and wounded that is slowly leaking out from the Pentagon but MOST significant is the killing of American Michael D’Andrea who was a prominent figure, the head of Iran operations for the CIA, and the man who orchestrated the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani as well as other targeted murders.

This is BIG enough that, the MSM hasn’t really covered it much.

Nor has the OrangeDump noticed that what goes around comes around. Tubularsock figures no one has informed him about it for safety sake.

And in further “spy news” it has been “leaked” by the Washington Post (a CIA outlet) that for years the backbone of the Cold War was the CIA’s ability to have a “backdoor” to nearly EVERY country’s computer system so as to spy on them.

Strange. Who didn’t already know this? So just why is the CIA leaking this now?

Has to do with Huawei (the Chinese leading global provider of information and communications technology).

It’s a PR stunt to warn that China is spying (supposedly) on EVERYONE the same way the CIA has done for years. And if the world goes to Huawei’s 5G system then it edges out the CIA’s “backdoor” to the world wide system.

It also puts a dent in the sales of American technology in Europe and South America.

Which brings Secretary of State Mike Pompeo out of the woodwork like a cockroach to declare that the Chinese Communist Party is “the central threat of our times”!

Does it really matter if the 5G system is from the U.S. or China when it fucking fries your brain and turns your skin to a Trump-Orange-Tint?

And the Democrap’s are out doing themselves to stop Bernie but the PEOPLE seem to be awakening at least a little ……. we shall see.

It is rather funny that Bernie is a “socialist” BUT Obummer took government money, tax payer money, and bailed out the Banks and the Auto Industry and ALL of the Presidents have backed Government subsidies to corporations BUT they call it “a free enterprise system”! Horse shit supreme!

In a free market system the fittest shall survive! Once the government steps in and SUBSIDIES corporations we are headed for fascism.

But if the workers start to control the means of production then it leans toward socialism.

And Bernie leans toward New Deal Socialism which is a focus on the citizen and the citizen’s well being as opposed to the American oligarchs.

EAT THE RICH!
