This Shit Is Really Happening. In America.

The Schloss-Blog is looking around America and thinking ... this shit is really happening.

Congressmen, GOP Congressmen, are receiving death threats as well as other "endearing" messages from constituents for voting to pass the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that is going to help every American.

Including the ones making the death threats.

It is pretty safe to say that Donald Trump has thoroughly embedded hatred into the national fabric.

Speaking of Congress, Paul Gosar (R-Arizona) has posted a video adapted from an existing animated video in which he inserts himself killing - KILLING - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), and then turning on President Biden.

He says it's not what people are making it out to be.

It is pretty safe to say, however, that Donald Trump has embedded calls to violence into our national fabric.

It took eight tries, but we finally have an Infrastructure Week to actually celebrate.

The first seven were all failed tries at legislation by the Trump administration. Here's the link to the list of the first seven (https://theweek.com/articles/839005/all-infrastructure-weeks-ranked).

It's pretty safe to say that Donald Trump has embedded multiple ways for economic failure into our national fabric.

Might catch some flack for this, but watching bits, pieces and highlights of the Kyle Rittenhouse double-homicide trial, I saw a defendant break down and cry what looked to be were well-rehearsed crocodile tears.

I don't believe he has any remorse whatsoever.

What he does have is a prosecutor who screwed up.

It's pretty safe to say though that part of Donald Trump's legacy is that he inspired a 17-year old, with likely more out there, to pick up an AR-15 and run recklessly into a race-protest riot.

COVID-19 continues to rear its ugly head across America, as cases are spiking in several statesw hile the pre-winter, pre-holiday-travel surges appears poised to launch.

In Fresno, California, cases are spiking, ICUs are over-burdened. Same in parts of California. And these are Blue States.

Meanwhile, an appeals court has blocked the Biden Administration's order for companies with more 100 employees to mandate vaccinations.

In other words, Trump's legacy of dismissing the coronavirus has left us with a generation's worth of people who will do anything to resist keeping America healthy.

***

What's even more sickening about the Gosar video (see above) of him killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the fact that Republican leadership in the House of Representatives (Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise), have said nothing - NOTHING - condemn it, let alone recommend sanctions against Gosar.

Donald Trump's legacy of calling for violent revenge against his political enemies lives on.

Aaron Rodgers is a f-cking, lying #COVIDiot.

If you've been observing any part of the trial of three white men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery, who was jogging down a Georgia street in Any Neighborhood, USA, you know that the jury has just one Black member.

One.

In the view of the Schloss-Blog, this trial is the 21st century version of "Easy Rider" - in other words, the killing of "Easy Strider."

Trump's legacy of racial bias has become firmly embedded and emboldened into so many parts of our national fabric.

Welcome to supply-chain inflation. Grocery, energy prices are spiking.

It's gonna' be a whole until they come down.

Maybe if Trump had attacked the virus more aggressively... maybe if the government hadn't handed out so much money to the Resignation Generation, on a bipartisan basis... who knows.

***

If you have any spare Ivermectin laying around, please send it to Aaron Rodgers. He'll send you back a thank you note, a nice autographed picture and a reduced-price ticket to a Joe Rogan personal appearance somewhere.

The legacy of #COVIDiot misinformation and disinformation on social media.

Finally, after the tragedy at the Houston Astroworld Festival concert in which eight died, you have to ask, has anyone learned their lessons from as far back as...

  • The University of Wisconsin football game disaster in October, 1993, in which 73 students were crushed, 6 critically;
  • The Hillsborough Stadium disaster in Sheffield, England, in which 766 people were badly injured and 97 killed;
  • And The Who concert disaster in 1989 in Cincinnati, where 11 people died, so many more were injured.
And this was not the first crowd-control disaster as this Houston event.

Who does Travis Scott think he is, Donald Trump?

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
