Judges are our masters

Congress couldn’t do it. The President can no longer do it. A judge in Atlanta can.

Override civil contracts by fiat, that is. The eviction moratorium expired at midnight Saturday night, except in Atlanta, where a judge claimed that evictions would be prohibited for another 60 days.

If I were an Atlanta area landlord, all servicing of rental properties would stop. No more trash collection, property taxes, or any other services would be taken care of. You might as well admit that in some areas of the nation, the right to private property no longer exists.

What if?

What if Donald Trump declared that he was transgender, and her new pronouns were to be she/her, and then the newly minted Desmond Trump announced her candidacy for President? Which would win? The hatred of all things Trump, or the love of all things tranny?

Missed deadline

I am currently fishing on the Penobscot River, just a few miles south of the Canadian border. There isn’t much in the way of cell service up here, and since you are reading this, it means that I didn’t get today’s post done due to lack of internet access.

Tax filing

I find it ironic that this article makes the claim that Intuit is “screwing over” taxpayers by charging them to use its products without mentioning how it is the government screwing over taxpayers by making the product necessary in the first place.

Schadenfreude

Frank Clark is a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has signed a $104 million contract to play a child’s game for five years. This country has been so unfair to him that he decided to take a knee during the National Anthem:

Number 55 on a knee in the back? Yep, that appears to be him.

How has it been unfair? Well, they charged him with a felony, to which he pled guilty while he was a student at Michigan, where he was attending college for free. What was his crime, you ask? He forced his way into a fellow student’s dorm and stole his Apple computer. A violent felony because free college wasn’t enough.

He was arrested again later for domestic violence when he beat and choked his girlfriend into unconsciousness.

Yes, this country has been so unfair to Frank Clark. I can see why he would want to protest the injustices that this country has heaped upon him.

So why is this relevant? Frank Clark, a person prohibited from possession of firearms or ammunition was arrested in March in the state of California and charged with criminal possession of an assault weapon. Then he was arrested again just last month for illegally carrying a concealed weapon.

I wonder if he will actually spend time in jail, or if his celebrity status will still grant him a get out of jail free card. Yes – life is so unfair to American athletes. They should all take a knee in protest.

Episode IV, A NEW HOPE

It is a period of civil war. Rebels, striking from a Trump rally, have won their first victory against the evil Progressive Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to Emperor Pelositine’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, a fortified Capitol building with enough F15s and nukes to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by Pelositine’s sinister agents who will stop at nothing to recover her stolen laptop, the rebels race home aboard their Harleys, custodians of the stolen plans that can save the people and restore freedom to the nation….

Never mind. It turns out that it was an unassembled LEGO set.

Nope. Let’s go to court

No matter how much the Waitress (ABN) wants to believe that her orders must be obeyed, I am not sitting with my hands on my head for an hour.

I know that the law says it’s a crime to interfere with a flight crew in the performance of their duties. I just don’t see where forcing all passengers to sit with their hands on their head is a part of their duties. If there is a security problem that is that serious, explain why they didn’t just land the plane.

Go fuck yourself. See ya in court.
