The latest Hit on the MSM Charts: Joey & the Democrats My Corona

Posted: March 9, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

The Democrat party has been doing it’s best to use the Corona virus as a political weapon against the US economy in general and Donald Trump in particular. We can write about it, but why write when we can sing: With Biden on Vocals, Bernie on Drums here is their song My Corona

Hoo, it's Trump that's killing us, killing us
When you gonna go end his time, Corona?
When's that virus gonna come, gonna come?
Come on, come on spread, spread and thrive, Corona

Never gonna stop, give it up, oh it's panic time
Now that Trump Stock Market that' stock market it's gonna go
dive, dive dive dive dive woo!

M-m-m-my Cornoa

Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?
Close enough to cost a few lives Corona 
Election day is comin' down, comin' down
Runnin' down there ain't much more time, Corona

Never gonna stop, give it up, oh it's panic time
Then we can blame Trump, blamen' Trump for the people who
die div die die die , woo!

M-m-m-my Corona
M-m-m-my Corona

When you gonna win us D's, win us D's
Is it just a matter of time, Corona?
It's our party's destiny, destiny
Or is it just a game in our minds, Corona?

Never gonna stop, give it up, oh it's panic time
Now that Trump economy, Trump economy can 
die, die die die die,O woo!
[Obama cuts in:] Actually That economy was mine mine mine mine mine woo!

M-m-m-my Corona
M-m-m-my Corona
M-m-m-my Corona
M-m-m-my Corona

Hoooooo-ohhh, my Corona
Hoooooo-ohhh, my Corona
Hoooooo-ohhh, my Corona

Sung to the tune of My Sharona 1979 by the Knack

Mixed Feelings on the Exclusion of Tulsi Gabbard from the Next Dem Debate

To nobody’s surprise now that Tulsi Gabbard has managed to meet the standards for inclusion in the next rounds of Democrat debates, the Democrats have, you guessed it, changed the rules.

Now the Democrats would have a lot more credibility in their explaination that this is just the normal progression in how they are doing things if:

  1. The field was still too large to accommodate a third person running
  2. Tulsi Gabbard had not previously appeared in a debate
  3. They didn’t already change the rules to allow Mike (I bought the congress for you) Bloomberg onstage

Furthermore it’s worth noting that just two weeks ago the same conventional wisdom that say Gabbard has no prayer said that Joe Biden was finished.

However with the Democrat establishment firmly in the drivers seat and still angry that Gabbbard voted against one of the articles of impeachment and took out Kamala Harris of race there is virtually no change that this is going to change.

I think this is actually a sign of fear on their part. Gabbard single handedly turned Kamala Harris from a frontrunner in the Democrat race to a failure and if put on a stage next to two 70’s men, one a socialist and one who is shall we say “challenged mentally” is likely to destroy them.

That’s rather unfair but I look on the bright side, because while I think that Donald Trump has this in a walk, of Biden, Sanders and Gabbard only Tulsi has the best chance of the three to pull and upset, and it’s not close.

So by all means keep her off the stage.

There are few problems that can’t be, if not solved, made to feel less painful for an hour by finding a good small diner to sit and eat while reading a real good book. That clears the mind most excellently.

Speaking of small diners I was at my local one this morning nextdoor to the now closed Romano’s Market when I saw Michelle the young lady who Mike said 10 years ago could be a good butcher there with her five year old daughter. She’s back to being a full time Nanny and loves it but she does miss the shop and the people.

Simply seeing her there made me feel great, and it seems to me that a lot of the old Romano’s crowd has been finding itself at that diner lately.

Tax season is here and for some reason I just have not been motivated to get started I know the clock is ticking and there is a lot to do but nothing seems to be moving me.

I wonder if that’s a product of age?

The Difference Between Candidate Donald Trump and Candidate Bernie Sanders Explained briefly

Posted: March 6, 2020 by datechguy in Always look at the bright side of Trump, elections, politics, primaries
Tags: , , ,

The results of Tuesday’s primary has illustrated one of the most interesting things in the regular comparisons between the Bernie Sanders campaign of 2020 and the Donald Trump campaign of 2016.

Bernie Sanders had campaigned on Socialism

Donald Trump campaigned on Conservatism

There was a good chunk of the conservative base who hesitated to support Donald Trump (myself included) during the primary season because we weren’t sure that he actually meant what he said. At the time we didn’t know if we could believe him. (He’s sure made believers of us now).

On the other hand it turned out that there was a good chunk of the Democrat base who hesitated to support Bernie Sanders during the primary season for exactly the opposite reason.

They didn’t reject Sanders because the thought he was lying about supporting socialism, they rejected him because they thought he was telling the truth and wanted no part of it, at least not openly.

That’s the real irony here. Trump was mistrusted because voters weren’t sure who he was and what he believed but if Bernie loses the nomination it will be because voters were convinced he was exactly what he claimed to be.

Life is funny isn’t it?
