Where Do We Go From Here? . . . Hard To Say -- But Likely No Good Place....

It's no fun for The Gadfly to be constantly pointing this shit out to people.  And it's getting pretty goddamn tiring to be truthful after all this time . . . but fucking somebody's got to do it . . . . sigh . . . .


Here's one of those "real Americans" that Trump is "inspiring" . . .

A firefighter in Earle, Ark. has been relieved of duty after a controversial Facebook post in which he suggests NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem "should be shot in the head."

According to WMCA Action News 5 the firefighter, who hasn't been named, suggested that Donald Trump—who's been outspoken in his disdain for players participating in protests—"post snipers at every game."

"U want my honest opinion about these worthless piece of crap proffessional (SIC) football basketball and baseball wannabe player I think trump should post snipers at every game and each player that take a knee or sits in the lockerroom (SIC) should b shot in the head ," he wrote in the post, which could not be found by the Daily News.

"I have no sympathy for them and no respect and as for the rest of u Obama lovin snowflakes out here protesting and makin idiots out of urselves u should be shot on sight if you disagree with me then dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya."

http://www.thv11.com/news/local/earle-firefighter-fired-after-saying-athletes-should-be-shot-for-protesting/478809683

Hey wait!? ... The Gadfly thought that these right wing yahoos were against the federal government infringing upon American's rights?  As such, that's a hell of a lot of rank irony dripping all over the place when you hear one of them calling on the leader of the federal government to deploy snipers to kill American citizens exercising their constitutional rights.

And no doubt, with his scornful reference to the "good lord," this fellow views himself, and likely is viewed by his peers, as a fine, upstanding Christian in his community.  Although The Gadfly has to say -- for the life of his self, he just can't seem to pinpoint that place in the Bible where Jesus talked about sniping a bullet in to someone's brain if their opinions are different from yours . . . nope, The Gadfly searched all over for that passage . . . just-could-not-find-it.

Now obviously not all conservative Christians think in the same manner as this would-be murderer, but The Gadfly would wager a good amount of his hard earned pay that most conservative Christians, who do think like this loser, are almost certainly unabashed Trump supporters.

The thing is -- guys like this hateful jackass do indeed comprise the deplorable core of Trump's most zealous and dedicated followers - and truth be told? --- they are his, and by proxy, the GOP's unshakable base right now (that's a hint to those Republicans who know it's true).  They are the modern-day conservative movement.

They were happy about the young woman protester getting run over and killed by one of their like-minded thinkers in Charlottesville and they would be just as content should a gun fondling wing nut like this Arkansas asshole followed through with his NRA-nursed wet dream of exercising his 2nd amendment right to put a bullet in the head of some "Obama snowflake" or pretty much the head of just about anyone who has the temerity to disagree with him politically.

Perhaps the larger point The Gadfly is trying to make here is that this is the ideology that wants control of the political and economic power structure in this country.  But if The Gadfly has any part to play in it -- they will never see it.  The conspiracy-greased mindset of their ideology is entrenched in virulent selfism.  They wallow in (oft-times manufactured) rage and hate.  There is an unsettling measure of cruelty, xenophobia, and deep seated bigotry in the enraged souls of many of them - something that The Gadfly has seen up close.  In the eyes of many of  their ideology's adherents, violence, wrapped in religion and faux patriotism, is a means to just about any end that facilitates their continued existence as a national movement.  They are quite comfortable with their way of thinking, and it is thinking that is not at all unlike that of SniperBoy there in Earle, Arkansas.  And in the minds of of all of them - Donald Trump is the swashbuckling hero of and spokesman for their ideology.

So - to summarize this sermon as bluntly as possible -- The Gadfly quite simply does not want these violence-prone assholes, with hard-ons for authoritarianism and a sweet tooth for manly Russian dictators, governing over him, or his family - ever - period.  Perhaps The Gadfly, in his long time hobby of studying history and trying to learn from it, has watched too many 1930's & 1940's newsreels of what was going on in the world just prior to the Nazis rise to power in pre WW2 Germany.  Believe it or not, seventy some years later, there were and still are lessons to be learned from that history.  It is a history that people who care about democracy's future ought to become more familiar with as this nation moves forward in this very serious ideological battle for our nation's and our people's destiny, and our society's heart and soul - it's humanity.  And that's why The Gadfly continues to talk about this shit.

He just cannot leave the damage that he has already caused well enough alone can he?  He's like a . . . oh fuck it . . . .:

President Donald Trump escalated his criticism of athletes who don’t stand for the national anthem on Thursday, claiming that some NFL team owners are actually “afraid of their players.”

“I have so many friends that are owners and they’re in a box,” Trump told Fox News. “I’ve spoken to a couple of them they said we are in a situation where we have to do something. I think they’re afraid of their players, it’s disgraceful.”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-nfl-owners-afraid-players_us_59ccd43ae4b0210dfdfc49b9?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

Umm ... no ... what is truly disgraceful is that a sitting United States President seems to have more time on his hands to wage days long Twitter combat with his detractors and whoever the fuck else, and for no fucking good reason at all, but he can't seem to find time to have an honest to God serious, adult talk with the American people about the humanitarian crisis facing 3.5 million of our fellow U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico at this moment.  Nope -- no time at all.   Couldn't possibly be because Puerto Ricans are mostly brown and black people and they speak an "un-American" language could it?

Nahhhhhhhhhh . . . .

Our Society . . .

Nothing to see here folks. Just a baby shooting two other babies in a daycare center.  It's how we Americans celebrate our freedom, and although unfortunate, sometimes the sacred tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of babies to safeguard that freedom:

Police say a toddler accidentally shot and wounded two other children at a home day care facility in suburban Detroit.

Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad says a preliminary investigation has determined that the toddler "accessed a handgun and the weapon discharged" at around 10:20 a.m. Wednesday.

Police said Thursday that the wounded 3 years olds are in serious but stable condition at a hospital.

Haddad says the gun was kept in the Dearborn home. Several other children were in the home at the time of the shooting.

If only there had been a good toddler with a gun there to stop the bad toddler with a gun . . . . . sigh . . .

To What Dark Ends Does Cruel & Unusual Leadership Lead Our Nation? . . .

This is from the "leader" of the free world:

Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble..

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 26, 2017

...It's old electrical grid, which was in terrible shape, was devastated. Much of the Island was destroyed, with billions of dollars....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 26, 2017

...owed to Wall Street and the banks which, sadly, must be dealt with. Food, water and medical are top priorities - and doing well. #FEMA

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 26, 2017

There is something seriously, seriously unsafely wired in the brain of someone who has to kick people when they're down on their knees during the battered aftermath of a historical natural disaster.

The Gadfly speaks of course of the humanitarian crisis currently unfolding in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria ravaged it with a head on hit.

This disaster is epic in scope folks.  Who in this country is taking the leadership role in getting these people help?  Our Commander McBrag-in-chief certainly isn't up to the task.  He's got bigger fish to fry with Twitter raging about the patriotism of some NFL football players because he's too much too much of an obtuse fuckhead to try and discern the difference between the protesting of societal injustice with loyalty to country.

You have at present time 3.5 million Americans (yes you right wing numb nut crowd -- Puerto Ricans are American citizens as part of a U.S. owned territory) who are in a life & death crisis situation and all they get from their hallowed (more like hollowed) leader is a dishing of smug righteousness, capped off by even more smug admonishments for moneys that they "owe" to Donald Drumpf's Wall Street friends and his banking industry buddies.

In essence -- Drumpf could think of no more better way to demonstrate his style of "leadership" - not just to the Puerto Ricans, but to the entire world stage - than to stick a shiv in the back of the Puerto Rican people by scolding them for being the impoverished and largely ignored, red-headed stepchild of an infinitely larger debtor nation and deadbeat-parent plantation owners.

The Gadfly was certain that his loathing and disgust for Donald John Trump had reached it's zenith ... but it hasn't.

It hasn't . . . . and that's what scares The Gadfly.

Bricks & Baseball Bats . . . As American as Apple Pie and Tea Parties

Just a random post . . .

The Gadfly has been thinking quite a bit about the Charlottesville thing and after weeks of somberly considered, carefully thought out analysis, The Gadfly has decided to throw his moral lot in with Woody Allen's character Isaac Mortimer Davis in the movie 'Manhattan', specifically as it pertains to the most appropriate, if not effective method of interfacing with marching Nazis in this country:

Isaac said it best at the end of that clip -- "Physical force is always better with Nazis.  It's hard to satirize a guy with shiny boots."

It is what it is.  Amen.

Prison Can't Fix A Rotted Soul and Supreme Assholery . . .

Just look at that smirking, leering and very punchable face.

via GIPHY

Now picture that same punchable face behind prison bars --- with one of these fine citizens as a bunk mate standing behind him:

[ click pic to enlarge ]

Observe:

Martin Shkreli, the former pharmaceutical executive who is awaiting sentencing for a fraud conviction, was sent to jail on Wednesday after a federal judge revoked his bail because he had offered $5,000 for a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair.

Mr. Shkreli, who was free on $5 million bail while he awaited sentencing, had made two Facebook posts offering cash to anyone who could “grab a hair” from Mrs. Clinton during her book tour.

At the hearing in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto said that Mr. Shkreli’s post could be perceived as a true threat.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/13/business/dealbook/martin-shkreli-jail.html?mcubz=0

There's something uniquely special about the carnal level of fear that must exist in a lot of these conservative, (wealthy and poor) white males that has just the mere thought of Hillary Clinton driving them to such prepubescent fits of madness.

The saddest part is that this fucking parasitic menace to society won't spend nearly as much time in prison as would be needed to really get a meaningful message through to his thick as a brick skull -- one that might actually help get him on a path toward helping him become a more decent human being instead of toxic burden on society.

Shkreli has that same, smug, bullying arrogance - the kind that attracts these conservative males to "leaders" like Trump.  Shkreli has his own brigades of cyber sycophants and when you read their on-line commentary, it's almost like the words are interchangeable from comments that you typically see on pro-Trump news forums.  They are views and opinions which emanate from a mutually disturbed mindset - the kind of mindset that The Gadfly believes one would get if you were to transmogrify all of the most obnoxious character traits of Beavis & Butthead with the twisted soul and life force of Emperor Palpatine.

They are, quite simply fawning, unthinking, gleeful followers of bullies.  They are the kind of individuals who would much prefer to hitch a ride on the coattails of an uncompassionate, morally corrupt, charismatic, wealthy, Hollywood celebrity flim-flam man for their leadership.  God forbid should they genuinely have to expend the time and effort, and making the intellectual investment that is paramount when one is contemplating the prospect of what kind of a person it is that you want leading your nation forward and being the representative face and public voice of all Americans.

The story of human history is replete with the tragic outcomes of allowing such kind of blindly devoted drone arrogance to flourish and gain footholds in ideological and political movements and among the intellectually lazy and spiritually bankrupt masses.

It's Not Insensitive. It's The Truth . . .

Shazam!  And there it is. :





That's likely to leave some tire tracks on the foreheads of a few victim playing right wingers.

Bill Maher has a right to gloat (see video starting at 4:37 mark) about the prospective annihilation of some prominent conservative, climate change denying spokespeople's homes that have the unfortunate misfortune of being in hurricane Irma's Floridian lawn mower path.

The Gadfly hopes Maher continues to gloat about such karmic irony.

The Gadfly hopes other people with public platforms like Maher decide to speak up and do so as well.

Somebody has to point out that conservatives have stubbornly dismissed and smugly pooh-poohed the views of 97% of the world's climate scientists for the better part of a couple of decades now, and continue to do so, even as boot-to-the-head evidentiary reality is whacking them upside their fat melons.

Conservatives have mercilessly mocked former Vice President Al Gore since 2006 for his seminal documentary "An Inconvenient Truth, and it's sequel" which presciently foretold us of these impending dynamic and menacing changes with weather patterns and the resulting impact, to not just our society, but the entire planet.  Shit, if there is any one individual who deserves the right to take a huge, heaping, steamy shit right in the arrogant climate-denier's parade route, it's Al Gore.

But The Gadfly will let Al Gore fight his own battles.  What the bigger point that The Gadfly wants to throw the spotlight on here is -- how fucking long are we as a citizenry going to continue listening to, and granting deference to, the modern-day conservative movement's views on any subject of importance regarding the competent and sane governing of this country, and the ultimate destiny of it's people?  When are the majority of us going to wake up and see the calamitous future that the conservative's dunder-headed mindsets have in store for us as a society and a nation?

Sigh . . . . . .

In 1998, Disney World decided they were going to allow the dreaded gays to have a one-day, rainbow flag waving, gay pride event at their resort.  That old bible banging, conservative icon, Trump deifying, and part-time professional weather prognosticator, Pat Robertson from the 700 Club, issued a somber press release condemning Disney, and even the city and people of Orlando - ominously warning them:

"I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags (gays) in God's face if I were you..."

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1998-06-10/news/9806110076_1_religious-broadcaster-pat-robertson-orlando-gay-days-terrorist-bombs

A few months after that fire & brimstone implied threat to the gays, Disney World and the city and residents of Orlando Florida, Hurricane Bonnie slammed in to the Virginia coastline and ravaged Pat Robertson's CBN/700 Club headquarters facility in Virginia Beach.  Go figure . . . .

Ok - so not only have the conservative movement's leaders been clearly and tragically wrong about, and on the wrong side of history of, nearly every single fucking major, societal-changing (for the better of all) issue in our nation's history -- but they are also, by all available evidence, comically and frighteningly inept weathermen.  And to top that off, it appears that their sway with the big guy in the sky is such that when they pray to him to have him smite their perceived enemies, they end up getting smote themselves.  That, to The Gadfly's discerning eyes, is the pinnacle of of perpetual wrongness, not to mention quite the celestial 'diss'.

Something's gotta give with this troubling situation of the deaf, dumb & blind leading us all forward in to the failed empire abyss.  Let's just hope that that "something" comes before it's much too late to salvage what remains of the Great American Experiment.

And The Gadfly Thunk and he Thunk and he Thunk . . .

Hmmmm . . . . So this got The Gadfly to a thinkin' . . . .

The White House late Friday swatted down claims made by Russia’s new ambassador to the U.S. that he had held a “warm and friendly” introductory meeting with President Donald Trump earlier in the day.

“There was not a meeting,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in an email to TPM. “He was here for a credentialing ceremony with 12 other new ambassadors and their spouses.”

Anatoly Antonov was far more loquacious in his comments to the Russian press, characterizing the initial meeting as chummy.

“The atmosphere was good, constructive and friendly,” Antonov said, as quoted by TASS. “President Trump met me cordially. We agree with his staff members to continue our contacts.”

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/white-house-denies-antonov-trump-meeting-reports

Lol.  Jeezus . . . .

The Russian Ambassador to the U.S. says a formal (he was quite descriptive) meeting took place between himself and *pResident Trump this morning.  Trump and his people are saying it never happened.  One of these two parties is brazenly lying.

And so here's what The Gadfly thunk:

Since both parties are prolific and well documented liars, each in their own right, let's approach it from this comically obvious angle . . .

If the Trump team is lying, it once fucking again begs the question, why is Trump meeting with Russians, in private, outside the view of the American people and the American press and then when confronted about it, lying?

And if the Russians are lying about this meeting having occurred -- well, that's some pretty fucking lousy, back-stabbing, ratfucking and conniving shit perpetrated by one of the highest level diplomats in a country that right wingers are fondly referring to as a,"friendly" nation -- dontcha' think?  . . . which naturally makes some (some of us anyhow) wonder then why it is that a lot of right-wing conservatives seem to hold such a bunch of conniving and ratfucking Russkies in such high regard these days anyways?

What a tangled web like-minded charlatans weave eh?

A Non-Political Message . . . .

Oh dear lord --- those poor bastards . . . . .

[ click pic to enlarge ]

That is a NASA satellite snapshot from mid-day today.  That little white blob to the left is Hurricane Katia, about to make landfall on the central Mexico coast.  The white blob to the right is Hurricane Jose who is nipping the heels of his big, goonish sister, Irma, right ahead of him.

And that brings us to Irma.  Take a close look at that picture.  Irma is 2.5 times the size of Jose and if you do some basic measurements, it's clear that the circumference of Irma is three (3) times wider than the widest point of the Florida peninsula.  And --- it's eclipses the entire south to north length of Florida by about one half.

This is a fucking horrifyingly, monstrous-sized storm dear readers.  This thing is going slam in to the tip of Florida with somewhere in the neighborhood of 150-165 mph winds with gusts up to 195mph - likely a CAT 5 level (according to latest news reports).  This is dead-man walking level devastation we're looking at here.

This country had better learn to put aside their stupid fucking, petty political snits for awhile and pull together because a great many of our fellow countrymen & women & children, conservatives, liberals, Democrats, Republicans, black, white, brown, are going to be needing the help of every one of their fellow citizens who truly, honestly and passionately cares about this nation.

Oh -- and Rush Limbaugh -- that fat, phony fuck, after peddling his idiotic bullshit about this Hurricane being a liberal conspiracy to advance the views of 97+% of climate scientists on the subject of climate change -- well that porcine banshee hauled fat ass in the middle of the night out of his Palm Beach, Fl. castle while his rube followers were still getting their rocks off Limbaugh's (The Gadfly's longtime nickname for him is 'cRush LimpBalls') bitter pablum.

Anyhow -- LimpBalls is just a circus side-show.  Florida and it's people will be deeply more in need of our attention in the coming days, weeks and months.

So here we go folks.  Pray if you're of the persuasion.  Be ready to extend a helping hand, offer a little of your money if you are able.  If all you got is empathy, sympathy, spiritual support -- that's always welcome -- and it sure does appear that they are going to be needing a lot of that.

Peace - out.

----TFG

Thank You To Our Police Men and Women . . . But . . . . . . . . .

This is not a subject The Gadfly gains any satisfaction talking about.  Let's make that clear right off the fucking bat.

This is what happens when the Thin Blue Line is hijacked and turned in to a Maginot Line between law enforcement and the citizens they are sworn to serve:

A nurse in Salt Lake City was aggressively arrested for obeying hospital policy and refusing to allow a police detective to draw blood from a severely injured patient, according to several reports.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/nurse-sobs-help-me-while-getting-arrested-for-simply-doing-her-job_us_59a98902e4b0b5e530fe51d2?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

When The Gadfly saw this video, and the way that that cop got very scarily aggressive in an instant and manhandled that nurse, all he could think of was wow --- is this really America in the 21st century?  Is this America, the bastion of democracy and freedom and justice?  How do the police explain this one away?  The Gadfly knows how they explain away the shooting of unarmed minorities, but this one? .... this should be interesting.

The Gadfly works in the health care industry.  The co-workers that he sees in hospitals and clinics every day are the utmost of professionals and they take their responsibilities and their commitments to their patients welfare and privacy with almost zealous seriousness.  That Salt Lake City nurse's actions were heroic in the face of the state sponsored thuggery that she was being confronted with from that police detective and the detective's superiors.

Listen - The Gadfly knows how stressful the job of a police officer can be.  That however, is absolutely no justification for abusing the law enforcement powers at your disposal, like this cop did, to justify the means to an end that he was in pursuit of.  And as far as this idea of respecting the police goes, it's one thing to respect what they do and the services they provide to our society, but if there are bad actors in their ranks, why should those individual corrupt and lawless actors be respected?   Think about that.

But then again we now have watch commander Drumpf in charge of the nation -- someone who has a penchant for exhorting aggressive behavior out of people who identify with his brain sickened ideology and world views, including unfortunately some law enforcement officials:

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump received applause on Friday when he endorsed police brutality while delivering a speech to law enforcement officers on Long Island, New York.

The president suggested that officers should hit suspects’ heads on the doors of their police cars.

“When you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, and I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’” Trump said.

“Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head, I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’” he added.

His remarks received significant applause.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-police-brutality_us_597b840fe4b02a8434b6575a

When the leader of the free world is encouraging police brutality against his own citizenry, however slyly, and directly to the police themselves mind you, and the very same police who are the recipients of that messaging are applauding those words of encouragement, then the thin blue line hasn't just been stretched to the breaking point, it's been smeared and smudged, and mangled and has become an unrecognizable, muddled mess -- not to mention a clear and present liability to a civilized, freedom worshiping society.

And just to further underscore the venality of the cops applauding Drumpf's goading of them to violence in their ranks -- that is a major fucking problem there The Gadfly would say.  The cops jobs aren't to be judges, juries and executioners.  Those actions are the sole responsibility of the civilian citizenry and their justice system.  The police are there to impartially enforce the law and protect society from the lawbreakers.  To serve and protect.  Not to serve, protect and mete out selective, extrajudicial punishment whenever the urge fancies them.

Every cop in that Salt Lake City force's line of command that was involved in the decision making process to manhandle and illegally arrest that nurse should be handed their fucking pink slips immediately and never be allowed to work in law enforcement again.  That is the only feasible action that can be taken that will have any positive impact on getting the message across that rogue and bullying policing of the citizenry will not be tolerated or excused.

Now if we can only get the good cops, for The Gadfly is certain there are more of them than bad ones, to demonstrate some moral courage by standing up and be counted applauding that kind of message, then perhaps there is hope that we can make some progress on improving relations between a lot of our communities and our traditionally paternalistic police forces.  So far though, all that The Gadfly sees from the vast majority of police is an entrenchment among themselves, the shutting of doors to open and constructive dialogue, and that troubling, tribal mindset of protecting your own even when you know some of your own are dirty and rotten to the core.

And so likely, nothing will change until that whole police/civilian population relationship dynamic is fleshed out, thoughtfully analyzed, and rationally and fairly reformed by serious adults on both sides who collectively have the powers to effect lasting and transformational change.  And let there be no mistaking --- Donald Drumpf is most certainly not to be considered as being one of those serious adults nor should he be allowed to participate in that vitally important national conversation in any way shape or form.

Topic Transitioning . . . Gadfly Style . . . . .

The Gadfly had been pondering posting something mundane about the putrid combination of 30 years of Reagan trickle-down economics and conservative zeal for robber baron era de-regulation of big business (most egregiously in the fossil fuel/petro-chemical industries) having basically paved the way for the post-Hurricane Harvey devastation, and more critically, the misery which will be suffered for years and years surely yet to come, in Texas.

However, in deference to that horrible situation, and to the poor souls who are currently suffering enough as it is as a result of those, now confirmedly failed policies, The Gadfly will instead talk about this:

Special counsel Robert Mueller is working with members of the IRS's Criminal Investigations (CI) unit as part of the investigation into possible collusion between President Trump's campaign and Russia, according to a new report.

The Daily Beast reported on Thursday that Mueller has teamed up with agents from the IRS unit dedicated to prosecuting financial crimes such as tax evasion and money laundering. One retired agent from the team said that the FBI doesn't have the "expertise" that the CI unit has when it comes to investigating financial crimes.

“The FBI’s expertise is spread out over so many statutes—and particularly since 9/11, where they really focused on counterintelligence and counterterror—that they simply don’t have the financial investigative expertise that the CI agents have,” Martin Sheil told The Daily Beast. “When CI brings a case to a U.S. Attorney, it is done. It’s wrapped up with a ribbon and a bow. It’s just comprehensive.”

The news comes just a day after it was revealed that Mueller is working with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) to investigate possible ties to Russia involving Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign manager.

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/348798-mueller-teams-up-with-irs-in-russia-probe-report

The Gadfly instantly noticed, in that article excerpt, was unambiguous reference to the two most consistent albatrosses -  namely financial skullfuckery and Russia ratfuckery - that have been wrapped around Donald Drumpf's bovine, oil of olay slippery neck since he ego-maniacally just one day, up and decided that he wanted to be the leader of the free world.

And that dear readers is why The Gadfly is so very, very, very interested in seeing some big news come from the Mueller investigation pretty soon.  Because The Gadfly believes that Robert Mueller also sees that there is something that is J-U-S-T  N-O-T  R-I-G-H-T about any of this shit and the bottom of it all needs to be gotten to.

Robert Mueller is going to be to Trump what a Chinese 267.8 Mph Maglev train would be to an old doofus, half-deaf boozer sitting in his stalled Model T on the tracks at the rail crossing as the Maglev bears down.

Mueller is going to give (or gift?) us all, , every god-blessed one of us The Gadfly believes, some very fascinating insight as to how an almost comically amoral, lazy-minded, sorry excuse of a sleazy used car salesman, and mass media parasite, who had the fortune in life to have been jettisoned  'twixt comfortably pecunious (go look it up) thighs, and with a fatherly bequeathal tucked under his smallish arm (hence the hands thing), gets precisely to the pinnacle of world power where he finds himself at today?

And by god, we better get the ever-loving truth about what these fucking people, these so-called, self-professed patriotic"Americans," are doing playing a game of dirty Twister! with a bunch of Russian intelligence moles, dirty-moneyed Russian oligarchs, Russian mobsters and NosferaPutin his murderous, dictatorial self.

The Gadfly deserves to hear that truth.  Every American in this country deserves to hear that fucking truth.  The whole of it all.

Let's hear it.
