Still undecided in Iowa? You're an idiot.

I’m up early today ahead of a chemo treatment and have Fox Business on.  They are running clip after clip of supposedly “informed” Iowa Caucus goers.  To a person these “informed” caucus goes are still undecided. 

What a load of BS.  If they haven’t made up their minds by now, they aren’t smart enough to draw breath and should be ignored and if not ignored roundly ridiculed. 

These are posturing attention seeking PsOS.  How long has this Dope primary BS been going on?  And these vacillating weasels still claim to be undecided the morning of the election?

When a guy says he still hasn’t made up his mind, some interviewer ought to look the azzbag in the eye and say, “You’re a damn liar or dumb as a hoe handle which is it?”  The the interviewer should look into the camera and ask the TV producer, “Why in the hell are we putting stupid indecisive people on TV as if they are better than people who can make up their minds and move on?  Anyone who has not made up their mind by now should be rounded up and cast onto a desserted island where they will waiver about building a fire and searching for food until they all die off.  When they do, the Earth will be a better place.”  

Today’s JG Rant

Re Claudia Ringswald letter, “Braun can’t be serious on impeachment oath” of Feb 1, 2020.

It’s Ringswald who cannot be serious.  She takes Indiana Senator Mike Braun to task for ignoring his oath to “his impartiality” as a juror for PDJT’s Impeachment Trial.  Well, actually senators are not swore to impartiality per se.  They are sworn only to administer “impartial justice.”  Here’s the oath:

"Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help you god?"

So senators are perfectly free to remain the partisan animals we know them to be as long as they are impartial with regard to rendering impartial impeachment justice.

But let’s take Ringswald’s incorrect reading of the senators’ impeachment oath as valid.  She claims Braun isn’t impartial.  Okay fine.  Now do the same impartiality check on Democrat Senators Klobuchar, Sander, Warren, Bennett, Booker, Harris, Schumer et al.  None, not one, are impartial by Ringswald’s own standard.  But hypocrite, thy name is Democrat.   

The founders sought knew impeachment would be a partisan process.  That’s why they believed that impeachment needed to be a bipartisan endeavor, with wide support among the American people and reserved only for the most serious violations of trust and/or the law.     

Braun can't be serious on impeachment oath

Imagine you have been called for jury duty and the prosecuting and defense attorneys are questioning you during the jury selection process for a well-known defendant accused of embezzling funds from a local sports team.

Q: Are you aware of this case from news services?

A: Well yes, of course. I'd have to be living in a cave somewhere not to have heard of it.

Q: Do you have an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant?

A: Yes, based on what I have heard, so far he seems not guilty.

Q. Do you think you could hear the testimony presented in this trial and make an unbiased decision based on the facts as presented?

A. Probably. But since he is liked by so many people, if I thought he was guilty, I would have to check with his friends to see if they agree. I wouldn't want to make them angry with me. With any luck, though, I won't even have to listen to any witnesses. (Also, since he is kind of powerful and would likely have a vendetta against me, I am rather hesitant to cross him).

OK. You can be on the jury...

Sound familiar? Sen. Mike Braun was quoted as saying: “ The president is going to be vindicated. ... We are not going to overturn one election and prevent another” and “You're going to have to weigh your conscience and what the people back home want you to do.”

I am assuming that he, like all the other senators, swore his impartiality and signed the oath book.

Apparently, he said “Just kidding” after swearing and signing. Good joke, huh?
