Shut the Fuck Up!

 "When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth".

I'm not very vested in these Fauci hearings in congress. Honestly, I wasn't all that vested in Covid at the time as, around it's beginning was when my 89-year-old mom fell and chipped a bone in her hip. I was housebound taking care of her from then on anyway, so the quarantines and disruptions of people's daily lives were already in my domain. I certainly kept up with the news via the media and cringed along with my fellow sentient beings at the republican exploitation of the pandemic though. What a shitshow! People were dying all over the world and our *leader* was telling people to drink bleach, take horse medicine and also ignore it. Yeesh...

And I know a witch trial when I see one now, and that if a guy like Rand Paul takes a stand on anything, there is a 100% chance that he's completely wrong and doesn't know what the fuck he's yammering about.

So, when I see clips on the internet of Dr. Fauci taking our 5th Amendment right of not answering questions, I totally get that. My internet algorithms tell me that I'm interested in lawyers who advise us to "shut the fuck up" when dealing with the police in practically ever circumstance. I totally get that too. Their job is to put someone in prison, and it doesn't always matter who. You will do fine for them whether you did it or not. Cops are like car salesman. They stop just short of saying: "Come on, work with me! What's it gonna take to get you in the backseat of my squad car??!!" It is certainly true that republican congressmen are as well.

Not everyone in life deserves the truth. Like Jack Nicholson said in, "A Few Good Men"; "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!" People in general can bobble it too. The above-mentioned mother had a habit of repeatedly asking the same question, hoping to break a suspect (me, or any of us kids) down. That borders on the definition of insanity, which is often said to be; "Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result". I love mom, but she had her odd ways and means. I'm pretty sure all moms do.

Generally, in interrogations the interrogator is looking for the answer they want to hear. Thus, the repetition. Wear the victim down. Cops do this with juvenile suspects (and it works on adults too!) by adding in that if the person just tells them what they want to hear, they can go home. The USSC has long since determined that police can do this in the course of an investigation. They can lie. They can tell you they've got a dozen witnesses who saw you do "it" so you might as well confess, and they'll go easy on you. Wives and girlfriends do this as well, but they have not been sanctioned to do so by the Supreme Court.

Naturally, because their 'enemy of Trump' is taking the 5th, republicans see it as 'lying'. The million or so times Trump has pled the 5th- well, he was being a good businessman, I guess. Facebook maga are aghast that Fauci wouldn't even answer what color the carpet was and other similarly seemingly innocuous questions. The deal as I see it is that, if you break stride after ten 5th pleas to acknowledge that the carpet is blue, you could have answered the other questions. I'm not 100% on that, but I think that's the way it works. Cops pulling you over from traffic violations that may or may not have occurred, want to know where you have been, where you are going and oh, BTW, is there anything in your vehicle that might not belong there and, can they have a look? This is where Facebook republicans say you should comply- if you have nothing to hide...

Fucking idiots.

I'm pretty certain Dr. Fauci did nothing nefarious. If he did, these congressional clowns are not the folks to get to the bottom of anything. If your thinking is so non-linear that you can't fathom that science is a process, that changes as new discoveries and experiments go along, then you should take the fifth on asking questions. If you have a conclusion and then try to force that conclusion by asking loaded (or seemingly innocuous) questions, you need to sit due process out. You are not up to it. Case dismissed, with prejudice!

The List

 It is no longer cute how everything Trump does in his invasion of America is treated as a distraction from the Epstein Files. The reality is, the Epstein Files are a distraction from everything Trump is doing in his invasion of America.  Nothing more will be done about the Epstein files. Everything has already been done. He's dead. She went to prison (for now...). No child-fuckers have been- or will be- arrested.  America- you are putting all your rotten eggs in one deplorable basket. Stop it.  This is a country where the judicial system- by many accounts the greatest in the world- has turned its back on the victims with one move of the goal posts after another. Victim testimony, which generally is damning evidence in criminal trials, doesn't seem to count for much in civil actions, or in any kind of leadup to criminal actions when the wealthy and powerful are involved. It turns out that you have to have a list. Not just any list- THE list.  Geez, without that ...

Her Soft Underbelly Exposed

One of the better interviewers you'll see on YouTube is Mark Laita of the "Soft, White Underbelly" channel. It's my understanding he is primarily a photographer whose interest has always been photographing the unseen segments of society- the street people, prostitutes, criminals and kinda freaks of life, that we generally ignore. Maybe it's all in the editing, but his success seems to be in letting his subjects talk without too much prompting from him. It's their story.  This episode was with a porn star- Addison Vodka. Well, that's what she goes by. Though I have seen my share of porn, I'm not on a first or last name basis with most of these people. So, I fired up the Pornhub to see what she what she was like in action. She does a good job for a girl with such a schpankable bottom. No doubt. But she was an enlightening interview. Twenty-five years old, super cute  and very engaging. Very pleasant. Just nice and very normal considering her path to porn...

Connections

 As a five-time viewer of the entire Sopranos series, I gotta tell ya (looks around) I notice things... I suspect that Donald J. Trump is a Sopranos fan. He seems to borrow from the series, from time to time. I don't mean just big things like the whole bust out  of Tony's old schoolmate, Dave's sporting goods store being basically what Trump is doing to the American economy. That's pretty obvious anyway and any criminal could come up with that. Dave owed like $80 large to Tony and Richie Aprile and so they went partners  with Dave so he could pay them back- and then some. They maxed out Dave's credit via the store, buying stuff on his credit that could be sold on the street for profit. Dave eventually figured it, realizing that Tony had planned it from the moment he allowed Dave- a degenerate gambler- to sit in at a high stakes' poker game with Frank Sinatra Jr. and other high-rollers. Tony knew Dave was a loser and would quickly get in way over his head and tha...
