Andy Ogles (R-TN) wants to revoke his citizenship<\/a><\/em> and send him to one of those foreign dungeons.<\/p>\nTo be clear, Andy\u2019s office in Columbia, Tennessee is only 925 miles from New York City, which explains why he\u2019s worried about whether they elect a socialist mayor. <\/p>\n
If it were 1,000 miles distant, it would be none of his business.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, over in England, a young woman\u2019s story of sexual assault and pederasty has toppled The Prince Formerly Known As The Prince from his pedestal.<\/p>\n
When the facts first began to emerge, Buckingham Palace announced that Andrew would be stepping back from his royal duties, whatever the hell they were, but once the details came out in Giuffre\u2019s autobiography, he was stripped of his title and cast out of his royal mansion.<\/p>\n
This was significant, given the general reverence in which the Royal Family is held, despite a recent rash of scandals, broken marriages and general misbehavior. <\/p>\n
They managed to shuffle off a Nazi-loving king with some romantic codswallop about giving up his throne to marry the woman he loved \u2014 Hello, Camilla! \u2014 but there\u2019s no way to cover up Andrew\u2019s appalling criminal behavior and it seems, as Morland suggests, that there\u2019s little urge on anyone\u2019s part to do so.<\/p>\n
That could never happen here. For one thing, we don\u2019t have royalty.<\/p>\n
For another, we\u2019ve got Mike Johnson keeping an elected Congressional Representative from taking office so she can\u2019t become the deciding vote to release the Epstein files. <\/p>\n
Telnaes suggested that Johnson go as a wienie for Halloween because he\u2019s a wienie all year long and works hard to make a mockery of the concept of checks-and-balances upon which our government is based.<\/p>\n
Though in all fairness, whether Andrew remained a prince or became a commoner was at the discretion of the king, so that learning of his behavior through Giuffre was sufficient to allow his removal without a formal trial.<\/p>\n
It would be harder to remove a president from office and the January 6 committee provided ample evidence of how even having ample evidence won\u2019t do the trick.<\/p>\n
As Katauskas notes, the whole world is watching. Mostly with a growing sense of disdain, horror and disbelief. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to understand how those in power can forgive attempting to violently overthrow the government but are terrified of having drag queens read stories to children.<\/p>\n
The British were able to uncrown a royal based on reports of what he had done, but the fact remains that, in this country, we don\u2019t believe in punishing people without giving them a fair trial with evidence and attorneys and so forth. <\/p>\n
Unless we want to.<\/p>\n
Which brings up this question: Am I the only one who wonders why the Coast Guard apparently doesn\u2019t even sweep up the wreckage? <\/p>\n
Back when I was working in a newsroom just south of the Canadian border, the customs guys were eager to show us what they\u2019d come up with. They\u2019d spread it out on a table and then call all the TV and radio stations and newspapers and have a press conference to tell everybody how it all went down and to show off what they\u2019d found.<\/p>\n
They were proud of what they\u2019d done. <\/p>\n
I suppose that\u2019s probably the difference.<\/p>\n
It should be hard to explain why you\u2019ve arrested or blown up somebody without any proof of a discernible reason. But as Pett points out, sometimes there\u2019s just something about a person that Dear Leader doesn\u2019t like. If only we could find a pattern of some sort!<\/p>\n
Anyway, here\u2019s something Dear Leader would really hate, so crank it up.<\/p>\n
And keep the faith, baby.<\/p>\n\n
