IT'S THE FRUIT, STUPID!

  Oh, where is Joan Rivers when you need her? Where is the frank and honest talk we need? Where is the civil discourse, even with an opponent? Sadly, all these have gone down the tubes, down the drain, somewhere, and no one seems to be able to find and retrieve them. So, can we talk?

First up is the next crazed, unbelievable statement, assertion, hot off the press, made by Trump. Hence our title - it's the fruit, stupid. Made in 2016, I wonder if people had known about it, would they have voted for Trump. Oy, think what could have been avoided. Think of the mood of the country painted a different color, one of optimism, justice, equality, sanity, most manifestly sanity, and hope. Joan Rivers where were you?

"Trump seemed to be fairly concerned that he could be killed by someone throwing a piece of fruit at him (via Vanity Fair). His fear of fruit dates back to his 2016 campaign ..., attending one of his infamous rallies, "If you see someone getting ready to throw a tomato, just knock the crap out of them, would you?" "... he claimed his team had warned him about potentially being pelted with fruit that day. According to Vanity Fair, he said, "You get hit with fruit, it's -- no, it's very violent stuff. We were on alert for that," adding, ''It's worse than tomato, it's other things also. But tomato, when they start doing that stuff, it's very dangerous. There was an alert out that day."

Uh huh! That is the man whom people continue to back, to put themselves in legal and financial jeopardy. This man, the enemy of the fruitman~!~ Manifestly not normal. And yet, coming  on the inside lane is the new, certainly not better and improved, Ron DeSantis, who thinks he could certainly outtrump Trump. For sure, certainly, an excellent possibility as he models himself after the dictator Orban, from Hungary. Punish free speech when you disagree with it and never mind the awful consequences for millions of people. Fie on you, Ron tells Mickey Mouse. Fie on all of you LGBTQ+ people, for he has convinced too many of the deluded brain challenged GOP members of the State Legislatures, that to say Gay (sshhhh) is to permit molestation. Is it not about time that we put that criminal nonsense to bed? Gay is not synonymous with criminal. DeSantis needs to get his head out of his rear and understand that this is the 21st century, not the Middle Ages. What is next? Burning witches at the stake?

Seems farfetched? Not so, when that unbelievably , dangerously missing half a brain Greene gets on her high horse and rides off to moron land, proudly prattling all along the way. Not satisfied with her "marshall" law and prior moronic statements, she has now taken on the Catholic Church, evidently being run by Satan. Yup. Did you know that? Wonder if Pope Francis knows that? Perhaps he can take her on as an assistant, chief of the Satan Search Department, and hence, improve our country by doing so. Hmmm. anyone wish to suggest that improvement for our body politic? Maybe take a bag of fruit with you in case she, or Trump, show up. Always be prepared.

Need more characters who deserve that 'deadly' bag of fruit, the ones with seeds especially dangerous? Well, have I got a few prime candidates for you. First up is Hawley who openly encouraged and supported the rebels on Jan. 6, engaged in the planning and hoped for result - the overturning of the election, the destruction of the democracy of this country. Send him his mirrored image, a fist raised, though this time in opposition to the violent mob members. Then open that fist and let her rip! Aim those tomatoes. Aim those cucumbers and asparagus. Go for it! Joan River's talk morphed into action! Not too bad.

Aha! Think we have run out of idiots? Not for a long while. But I will take pity on you, my readers, and only mention one or two more. The rest, simply pick up a paper or tune into any show, TV or online. There you can sate your need to check out the rich crop of the fruit fearful of our government.

Boebert, Greene (yet again), and Cawthorne, that gun toting idiot, joined with 14 other know nothings, and voted against supporting Moldova in its integrity, independence and democracy. No shock there, for they have yet to express any disapproval of any action or statement of Putin. A total of 17 people of our government, a democracy, refusing to support another democratic state. Wow! We sure can feel secure that they have our back, are on our six! I believe we are running out of fruit at this point. Hmmph! Another shortage. Oh dear!

Can we talk? Must we find another Joan Rivers, candid, open, unafraid to speak her mind? Why cannot we internalize a bit of her, gather up some fruit, perhaps those left at end of day, picked through and soft, and give these idiots a bit of what they need. A putting them in their places. 

Prison anyone?

Have a good day.  

I am going fruit shopping a bit later on today.
