Soon, this show will be over.
This is the second to last episode of the show. This will not be the second to
last post of this blog, though. There will be at least one more post after the
series finale airs. And if I do not hate the finale, this blog will continue.
In fact, I feel like sharing something in this and other blogs since it is
likely to affect them all.
Here
is a paragraph that I thought was worth posting in different blogs. I have
relied at times on using my town’s local video store in order to see the
occasional movie that I would not otherwise be able to see. This place went out
of business. I do not know what other local video stores I might be able to
rent from. My local library might be able to help out as well. Just know that I
may not be able to see stuff I won’t be able to see in theaters now after all.
We’ll see what my options wind up being and which blogs will be affected as a
result.

The next Elementary blog post
featured the crime of sand mining being used as a plot point. You would think
that the sand people from the Star Wars universe might be the ones who are
evil, although they do not show up much in the movies and the empire is way
worse. I also reference the Sandman song which I might have linked to in the
future posts. It is known for being featured in two Back to the Future films
and also appears in the original Charmed episode: San Francisco Dreamin’. I
also reference the Doctor Who episode Blink when I say something along the
lines of being sad is happy for deep people. There is also a Ratatouille
reference due to rats and how one controlled a human in that movie.
If you had read all of my
Elementary blog, you would have noticed a time when I included links from this
blog in it. With this show ending, I won’t know where to include links from
Elementary. All I know is that it could wind up in my Survivor blog as that is
where my movie updates will probably move to. You could always just read the
archives yourself as well. We’ll see what happens with it.
Ever since an ad aired where
my state’s former governor (Bruce Rauner) enlisted the help of three other
states’ governors, I have thought about each of those states and their
political future. Only one of those three governors, Eric Holcomb, the governor
of Indiana, is still in office. I plan to donate money to the Democrat who wins
the primary against him. We’ll see if I do that or not. But there is a poem
that I think I shall write about Eric Holcomb.
Endorsing Bruce Rauner was not
a good move
Republicans shouldn’t just
blame their problems on the Democrats
I try to avoid Indiana
whenever possible now
Could I stop in the future?
He would have to leave office
first
Only that could be a while
away
Left with no other allies
Conservatives might not get to
keep Eric around
Only when he is gone will
Indiana be a place I’d love visiting again
My mission is to help get rid
of him
Better think next time before
you endorse a failing politician
Before I talk about the
Indiana governor race, I should point out two things. One: avoiding Indiana is
more of a preference than an outright boycott. I went through it both ways
earlier this year so I could head to a baptism in Michigan. The second thing is
that Eric will be limited to just one other term if he does win reelection for
another term as governor. That means regardless of if he wins or loses, I will
be able to start counting down to when he’ll be out of office.
Regarding the Indiana governor
race as it stands right now, the Republicans in it are Eric Holcomb and Brian
Roth. I blindly think that one should vote for Brian Roth in that primary. The
Democrats are Eddie Melton, Woody Myers, and Josh Owens. I plan to say more of
what happens in my Good Fight blog as I plan to talk about various upcoming
elections and election results in it. I just hope that I will be able to do all
that I want to. I might have to switch who one of the lesser senate races is.
And I don’t know if I will be able to cover them at all or not. Besides, I only
told facebook friends minus three who these lesser people are, something they
might not have understood anyways.
There’s a lot of news to talk
about especially since this should be the last time that I tell my blog readers
about the Republican news that I care about. I even delayed stuff from two
posts ago since I was feeling sick and am honestly not entirely over it just
yet. Anyways, as I type a bunch of stuff I don’t need, I will tell you about
how the wall obsessed Trump got a message from the Berliners who wanted to send
him a message about walls by talking about the old Berlin wall.
As I’ll say again later in
this post, Republicans don’t care about those with mental health problems. They
only bring it up when they continue their inaction on gun control. With the
child separation problem that had gone on and may continue to go on, people
from this country have to provide mental health services to the children who
went though this traumatic event.
If you ever watched the
impeachment hearings, you will hear lunacy from them about why they aren’t a
real process even though they are. This article continues the theory by saying
that because one knows that Trump is bad, he can’t be impeached as a result.
Boy am I glad this incredibly flawed line of thinking wasn’t around back in
2008 when Rod Blagojevich was impeached.
While I’m still a bit
surprised by the lack of Republicans turning on Trump, there are notable people
who do turn on him. One even left the Republican Party to become independent
and he is talking about all the problems with his old party. Now run for
reelection and you’ll prove you aren’t the very thing that you are complaining
about.
If impeachment fails, I won’t
see this as a failure for the Democrats. It could be quite the opposite. What
could be important either way is if the Democrats are able to take the senate
back from the Republicans that are in control of it right now. Maybe it could
happen, even if original polling isn’t on our side.
Honestly, if you want to be
more outraged by things the Republican’ts do, just think about all that they
try to change as lame ducks when they lose control of what’s going on. Just
read this article and you will see something good that happened that
Republicans want to change. Of course, they might not be able to do this in the
end. But they should be more okay with things not going their way. After all,
if they were doing things right, they wouldn’t be losing elections so much.
With so many things in the
news nowadays, I seem to keep wanting to share links in this blog that I
thought were important, even if I can’t remember why I wanted to share them
later. All I know is that there is an important point in this following
article.
So much of what the
Republican’ts rely on to win elections is outright voter suppression. They tend
to do this in swing states or red states that may otherwise be swing states.
Florida seems to be a favorite place that they like to mess with all the time.
Maybe Republicans don’t
realize this, but Trump turns on people in a heartbeat. He especially does this
with members of his own party and could betray a strong ally like Germany did
to Russia during World War II. It could be his undoing. If only it would happen.
Mitch is no one’s bitch, but he sure likes to act like Trump’s at times. Sader still is that Mitch does whatever he wants at the moment to benefit him or his party.
I find it important to share
any and all stories about people other than Hillary Clinton (since we have
heard far too much about it) who have missing emails. There are a lot of
Republicans who have that problem and it turns out that Nikki Haley is the
newest one.
As stated earlier, I’m going
to have a hard time believing that Republicans care about people’s health care
or those with mental health problems when they have pre-existing conditions.
These are the same people who came up with the individual mandate idea. When
Democrats thought it was a good idea too and embraced it, you’d think that
Republicans would find common ground with them. Instead, they disavowed their
own idea. It makes me think of this song.
While it is well known that
Trump has a personal twitter account, he or someone with the authority to use
the official White House account posted stuff that legally can’t be posted
there. Thus, what was there broke the law. If you don’t believe me, click on
this link.
Republicans are constantly
lying about how the impeachment process works. But there are some flaws with
it. In a criminal trial, if it was learned that the defendant had met with just
one of the jurors, they would have to replace that juror right away. Sadly, we
don’t have that with impeachment. There is now proof that Trump is talking to
all of the Republican’t senators that will vote on impeachment. I love how he
is not even trying to get Democratic votes, even if there is a possibility that
at least one might be out there wanting to keep him in office. After all, two
Democratic House members were against one of the impeachment votes thus far.
I’m hoping that history won’t
look too kindly on all the Trump enablers. They’re nowhere near as bad as those
that supported Hitler, but we are getting into the same sort of problem, if
only on better scale due to the lack of genocide. Trump seems to be asking
people whether or not they support him and he will get rid of anyone who
doesn’t. They mean nothing to him. Mark Stanford only voted against Trump 11%
of the time and was still hung out to dry for it. This has to be Trump’s
recruitment process.
Now for the most important
part of this blog post (outside of what’s actually happens in this show): I
have gotten online and looked up one of the records of Trump’s transcript to
the Ukraine. You can now read for yourself what happened and decide for
yourselves what it could mean. I think that it proves that once you look up the
info of what Republicans think is a great argument winner that they say you
should look up instead of them simply telling you what they already claim to
know, it proves wrong any theory that they have about it that supports their
claims.
When there were issues with
Warren Harding’s administration and all that went on during it, he might have
gotten impeached were it not for his death of causes that remain unknown to
this very day. Now Trump has had a sort of secret hospital visit that he’s
trying to claim was no big deal. It probably is in some way a bigger deal than
he might let on. I don’t actually want Trump to die. He can’t go to prison if
he is either pardoned or dead in some way. It’s sad enough that I already want
to see him go to jail, an event that seems inevitable to me. Still, maybe this really is no
big deal. We’ll have to see over time whether or not he really does have some
sort of serious health problem.
Trump has to know that we don’t live in a day and
age where you can keep things like health problems secret. There won’t be a
time when there’s a secret surgery on you like what happened with Chester Alan
Arthur before his own Republican Party refused to renominate him for another
term for the presidency after he supported governmental reform (true story)
which lead to the very next president elected being a Democrat, something that
hadn’t happened the past six times there was a presidential election. (To be
fair, he might not have run anyways since he was dying and would be dead in his
second term had he won reelection and lived to where he did in reality.)
The worst person in the
impeachment hearing thus far is Jim Jordan. He will say and do anything and
mislead so many into thinking that impeachment means overturning the results of
an election. It would not be that way since Mike Pence would become president
and no one else. All this talk of a coup has to be wrong as Trump is not being
denied due process and remains in office as the impeachment inquiry moves
forward. Plus, he is obsessed with the (less than) 63 million people who voted
for Trump and tends to think that they are more important than anyone else.
Power grabs are another
shameless thing that the Republicans enjoy doing whenever Democrats are set to
take charge. Thankfully, outside of a possible 17 day window, there is no way
that this could happen federally with two different parties in control of the
legislative branch. Still, when Republicans know they will lose a political
trifecta, they seek to change the rules going in. I don’t know of any time that
Democrats have done this when in danger of losing a trifecta. The worst thing
that I can think of only happened because an elected person died, which had
caused a special election for comptroller in Illinois in 2016. Sadly, the
Democrats got what they wanted. It is weird for Republicans to be sore losers
like this. I thought that was a Democrat thing. I mean, Hillary Clinton won’t
admit that her underestimating Trump was the real reason she lost. She’ll just
blame James Comey or other things. But a power grab is worse than being a sore
loser. It is literally changing the rules on your way out.
While I somewhat care about
Wisconsin politics, I might not do as much caring about it in the future. But I
do have to spread stories about their bad ways. They were the second to last
state to get concealed carry laws, yet they don’t care about protecting people
from them anymore.
I normally always read all of
an article that I share. If I don’t read all of it for some reason, I don’t
usually share it due to losing interest in the long article or something like
that. While I honestly haven’t read all of this article, I did think it was
worth sharing nonetheless.
It would be absolutely
hilarious to me if Mitch McConnell lost renomination. It might happen. All I
know is that he doesn’t care about Russian interference and doesn’t even hide
illegal connections that he has to Russia. I can only hope that voters care
about it and pick either a Democrat or at least some other Republican who isn’t
him to serve in the senate instead.
There might be hope for this country
and planet since it seems that some people are abandoning Trump one by one. If
only these people were elected to office and weren’t leaving. Still, this one
person says that he doesn’t like Trump and has left the Republican’t party.
A phrase that is often thrown
around by Republicans critical of Democrats is liberal fantasy. What I am
wondering is why the phrase conservative fantasy isn’t something thrown around.
They are trying to reinvent the very meaning and legality of what impeachment
is and how it works. They should be here working with the Democrats to get rid
of Trump. There was a Democratic trifecta when Rod Blagojevich was impeachment
in a bipartisan vote. While Trump isn’t as bad as Rod, it is the same sort of
problem that needs addressed. To think Trump shouldn’t be impeached is
conservative fantasy.
Movie update: On Saturday, I
used a scab list to watch a nature documentary. That marks the end of the list
watching possibly for the rest of this year or at least until I’m done with all
of the Christmas stuff that I was wanting to see this year, which may be a lot.
This is how the two lists
stand right now: Sunday’s list is Copacabana, The Lion King 1 ½, Madagascar
with commentary, The Pelican Brief, Survivor: Borneo- The Greatest and Most
Outrageous Moments, and Titanic. The list I’m dissolving has Adventures in
Babysitting, Farscape: The Peacekeepers War, nature documentaries, and The
Return of Jafar on it as I try to move it to the remaining list. I also have a
scab list of the oldest six choices that I can use on any Saturday or other
time I can watch movies that aren’t on Sundays. It is a mix of both lists right
now.
It is around 5:27 that I check
to see what games are on TV. FOX is not airing football. I check one of my CBS
affiliates and they are airing a game of the still Oakland Raiders for some
reason against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are shutting out the still
not Las Vegas Raiders. There will be a delay of when shows will air on CBS
today. My other CBS affiliate is airing the same game.
Before six, the Raiders score
a field goal, making their probable eventual loss less bitter in the future.
But they could potentially score four touchdowns, from what I understand. In
fact, I remember there being a game three years ago where the Rams shut out the
other team for the first three quarters and had lost by the end of the fourth.
Of course, I don’t think they had the same lead that the Chiefs do now. Also,
does anyone know if the Chiefs have extended their record of longest streak of
winning seasons in NFL history? They still have the record at their first
losing season. They just can’t continue breaking it like Jimmy Carter does with
longest retirement of all the presidents.
At 6, I watch a rerun of The
Simpsons that I had seen before. I see the end of the game just to see that the
Chiefs had, in fact, won the game. It then switches to a game of the Broncos
versus some other team of some sort that the Broncos win. The shows then start,
but maybe not on time. By on time, I mean at an exact delay of 30 minutes. The
shows start sometime a bit later than 30 minutes late, possibly.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by 32 minute delay. We begin with people doing all sort of cleaning in the
White House as they talk about Eli Vogt and the last of what happened with it. There
was also a boat that went somewhere it shouldn’t. Now they say, “everybody look
at the motherfucking boat.” Elizabeth thinks that nations were bullied in
international waters. She wants to do the best that she can in her elected
office despite the impeachment hearings. She will appear at the hearings. Mike
is convinced that this is a bad idea. He’s not entirely wrong as most attorneys
are worried that their clients will make themselves look bad on the stand,
regardless of how innocent they might be, and they won’t be put on the stand as
a result. Still, Mike is more worrisome than Eli from The Good Wife is.
It seems like the votes are in
favor of impeachment closely. But there might be some leeway with some or at
least one of the people there. Elizabeth thinks that she can do more in one day
as president than she can after she leaves office. Jimmy Carter might disagree
with that. There are still things that they can do while they are still at the
White House. Stevie wants to propose to Dmitri. She wants to use a fortune
cookie to do the proposal. I probably would only give a ring in a more normal
way.
Elizabeth wants to seize the
day and make sure that she can get things done that she wants done. She wants
to take on a serious issue even as impeachment goes on. I don’t see Trump
trying to get what he can done as impeachment closes in on him. Others are worried
that she might be going too far into what might be going on in her world right
now.
In segment two, Henry talks to
Dmitri in his office. Dmitri asks Henry for his daughter’s hand in marriage. He
wants to keep this secret safe. The planned proposal would be after the meal.
Mike talks about all that Congressman Hely needs and Elizabeth learns that he’s
from Pittsburg. It might be more interesting if he were from West Philadelphia,
born and raised.
Henry and Elizabeth talk about whether or not they should tell
Stevie about Dmitri’s plan and they think better of telling her. Henry talks to
Hely about Canning, the Jim Jordan made up for this show. Henry offers this man
advice from his own father when it seems the talk went nowhere.
In segment three, Elizabeth
talks to the people at the hearing about the inquiry into impeachment. She is
blamed for Daisy’s resignation. Daisy was said to be acting on her own
directive and not under any that Elizabeth was doing. Russell comes in and
explains what is going on with the boat situation which leads to her leaving
the meeting immediately to resolve the situation.
Canning calls this a stunt.
Still, she has to deal with the situation and didn’t authorize the vice
president to do any of this which may not be a bad thing. She wants to speak to
Lee, who I think is the Chinese president, as she doesn’t want this to escalate
into a war.
In segment four, Elizabeth
talks to Lee. He claims that she went to his territory illegally. He doesn’t
offer much in terms of way forwards. She is briefed more into what is going on.
Lee isn’t choosing a good way to communicate forward. She wants to seek
Congress to move a way forward. Defcon two is going on since everyone is ready
to move forward. Dmitri wants to leave although Stevie still wants to read
their fortune cookies. They are forced out, although she takes something
beforehand.
Elizabeth is told that they
might need to strike now or risk looking weak by retreating. She seeks other
options until she is told to maybe do a blockade. It could lead to a break in
tensions as they are letting them make the first move. Congress passes what
they needed to in emergency session. Henry makes the assumption that Stevie is
engaged before they realize that she is not when she walks in. This leads to
some temporary confusion as she gives the fortune cookie to him. It is the
wrong cookie. Dmitri then decides to propose and is almost interrupted when he
does propose and she says yes. Lee decides to send missile ships to the
blockade and Elizabeth wants to meet with Chen, the prime minister.
In segment five, Chen meets
face to face with Elizabeth. She seeks to find a way out of this war since
China had attacked them. Chen says that a rogue commander fired on the ship,
but that Lee won’t admit that this person went rogue. Elizabeth says that they
can’t cross the quarantine line. A proposal will be taken to Lee. The boats
turn around at the last minute, averting a strike.
She then returns to what she
was doing by talking at the impeachment proceedings. She is accused of
fabricating the whole thing in order to distract from the hearings at hand.
Hely then talks about the problems going on. He thinks that much of what is
going on is a charade before leaving the hearings. It may seem out of order,
but it seemed to be better than what is actually going on. Protestors then show
up to show their support of Elizabeth. They are showing a support of her by
chanting the same thing, “she’s my president.” Canning was the only vote for
impeachment, marking the end of the ordeal. But there is still one more
episode. There is just one more, right?
On the next Madam Secretary, nothing
is really revealed in the promos. The show is ending after the next episode,
right? Isn’t the next episode the series finale? I guess that I’ll have to
check as it is possible that there is more to this final season than I realize.
I did check and the show will
end in the next episode. I hope that things will be okay in terms of posting
the rest of this blog simply because I had internet problems and might need to
use someone else’s in case this won’t work where I live. Odd problems like this
tend to be temporary and go away on its own. I hope there is a number I can
call in case this problem persists.
There are still some things
relating to Republicans that I want to talk about in this post. Heck, there is
a whole lot that I’ve saved from Daily Kos that I might go back to and look at
some time. I just don’t know if I ever will in the end. Here is a response that
a Congresswoman wrote one of her constituents after he tried to get her to vote
in favor of impeachment.
All I know is that Trump may
hope that he survives impeachment or avoids going to jail at some point. But I
hope that he doesn’t avoid jail. He has done more than enough wrong and him
being president (or dark overlord, in my words) shouldn’t be a reason for him
to never suffer consequences.
One more thing needs to be
said before I wrap up this post. I have gotten at least two calls from the RNC
on my home phone from someone on a recorded line using very slanted ways of
trying to get me not to be in favor of impeachment. If they want to waste money
on things like this, they can. This will be far less money that Trump will get
to use on a potential reelection campaign, should he still make it to it.
The
likelihood of him being president beyond January 20, 2021 is very slim and
almost not even worth giving any worry or credit to. He won’t win reelection.
If they want me to actually listen, they should get a real person on the line.
But they shouldn’t as I’d have too many choice words for them. I plan to just
straight hang up on these calls in the future.
I might miss posting random
political stuff in this blog and am not sure what other blogs it could go in. I
do plan to post political things in my Good Fight blog but am unsure when or
even if I’ll be able to post more of that in the future. I guess we’ll see. For
now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
