It\u2019s good to be home again.\u00a0 Also today I picked up my photography computer from the local cyber-surgeons.\u00a0 There was considerable sticker shock (yikes) for the new motherboard and processor and some adjustment for the new hardware (adapters, cables and such nonsense) but I\u2019m back in business with my photos again.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t really tested out it\u2019s capabilities but the tech guy told me the new processor will be ridiculously faster than my old system. \u00a0I can\u2019t wait to try importing a thousand raw files and see how quickly it \u201crenders\u201d them.\u00a0 But enough geeking out.<\/p>\n
I had my usual Wednesday virtual coffee break with the boys from the old firm.\u00a0 I have to say the giddiness is getting a bit ridiculous.\u00a0 Can unbridled enthusiasm be considered a form of backwards Trump Derangement Syndrome?\u00a0 There\u2019s just too much laughing and optimism.\u00a0 It seems unnatural.\u00a0 Someone was claiming that Trump was talking of eliminating the Income Tax altogether.\u00a0 Now that just sounds nuts.\u00a0 But the angle was to switch over to a consumption tax.\u00a0 I have to confess that would suit me fine.\u00a0 But is everything going to be revolutionized?\u00a0 What\u2019s next?\u00a0 Will all the currency be made over with pictures of The Donald?\u00a0 Will Trump\u2019s signature hairstyle be added to George Washington on Mt. Rushmore to update the monument?\u00a0 Will the end of the Pledge of Allegiance be modified to \u201cone nation under God with liberty and justice and so much winning<\/strong> for all?\u201d\u00a0 Have Trump\u2019s words from the 2016 election come true? Is it too much winning?<\/p>\n Well \u2026 no.\u00a0 I\u2019ll put up with more winning.<\/p>\n There are still more things we need fixed.\u00a0 First of all, Kash Patel still hasn\u2019t been confirmed by the Senate.\u00a0 That means there are hundreds of Stasi agents still working for the FBI.\u00a0 Once he\u2019s had a chance to clean house, I\u2019ll have a better idea how much more winning is needed.\u00a0 In fact, you know what I want to see?\u00a0 I want Trump to issue executive orders categorically forbidding Patriot Act or FISA Court actions against American citizens during his administration.\u00a0 Let\u2019s have at least four years without our constitutional rights to due process being violated by tinpot Thought Police.<\/p>\n You see, that\u2019s what happens when Trump starts issuing executive orders by the metric ton.\u00a0 We start assuming he can do anything.\u00a0 And then we become impatient if he hasn\u2019t read our minds and already done the stuff we just thought of.\u00a0 Why hasn\u2019t there been a special prosecutor empowered to go after Joy Reid for being an eyesore on television.\u00a0 Surely having her on cable tv is a form of cruel and unusual punishment for all of us.\u00a0 And what about the \u201cladies\u201d of the View.\u00a0 Surely someone can turn the show into some kind of dunk tank \/ lie detector suspense show where Joy Behar or Whoopie Goldberg or one of the other crones is hooked up to a lie detector and asked a question about Donald Trump or some other conservative she hates and if she lies about something, like whether he\u2019s been convicted or rape, she falls into a water tank filled with sharks or piranha fish and has to swim for her life to a distant ladder.\u00a0 I bet the ratings would be through the roof.\u00a0 So that\u2019s kind of where I am right now.\u00a0 For the most part I\u2019m happy with Trump 2.0.\u00a0 But a few little tweaks couldn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n Well, that\u2019s enough ranting for now.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be waiting to see how Patel, Kennedy and Gabbard do in the Senate next week.\u00a0 If all three get through, Trump will have most of his core team in place and he can really get started with draining the swamp and taming the Leviathan.<\/p>\n So far so good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s good to be home again.\u00a0 Also today I picked up my photography computer from the local cyber-surgeons.\u00a0 There was considerable sticker shock (yikes) for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[660,552,5,551,659,6],"tags":[143,16],"class_list":["post-32102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-camera-reviews","category-country-music-reviews","category-current-events","category-music-reviews","category-photography-reviews","category-trump","tag-drain-the-swamp","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"\n
