Morons of the Month - February 2025

 

Well, it's got to be somebody's fault, right?

That's the way it works in America these days.  When one political party is in power, any problem and/or calamity is immediately their fault.   Right now, it's the Republican party in power and they are the evil empire with Donald Trump walking around like Darth Vader.  I know lots of folks who are so disgusted that they pledge to get off social media for the next four years.  Except they spend every waking moment telling people they're going off social media on...where else?...social media.

Clearly, there are folks out there who have watched every episode of "The West Wing" way too many times.  When the Democrats comprise the majority in DC, the Republicans act like only "24's" Jack Bauer can save us.  

This is the evil cycle our country is stuck in and it gets more and more pronounced with each successive administration.   As soon as one party gets in, they are responsible for every single thing that happens almost as soon as they all take their oaths of office.

Take, for instance, last week.  Admittedly, not a good week to fly in the United States.  Lots of souls lost, but it didn't take long for conspiracy theories to pop out like candy from a Pez dispenser.   

And it's all Trump's fault even though he's only been in office for two weeks.  Now if the parties were reversed and this happened a month ago, it would have been Old Man Biden's problem.  Equally as misguided.  

What the morons around us don't understand is changes don't have results that quickly.   Government moves at a snail's pace and things don't have immediate causes and effects.

The two deadly plane crashes last week are not the fault of Trump or Biden or Obama or Bush.   Actually, it is the fault of all of them.  Our leaders have taken their eyes off the ball and spent more time trying to get and keep jobs as opposed to actually doing them.

Trust me, there's plenty of blame to go around to everybody.   But the real culprits are those who have let this happen.  I mean, we embody all the positives of a democracy at work.   

We are also responsible for the negatives as well.   This is a worthy message but sadly people won't read it because they're boycotting the internet.

Dinner last night:  Leftover meat loaf.
