Post-Holiday Snarky Snippets (PHSS)

Posted on by under Bits 'n Pieces, Election 2020, Election 2024, Holidays, Law and justice, Political commentary, Social commentary

Are you guys ready for some of my post-holiday snark?  I’ve been well-behaved for several days now, even let some cars go in front of me on my mini shopping expedition on Wednesday, didn’t lose my patience a single time, and have kept my political snark to a bare minimum for a few days, so buckle up … it’s time for Filosofa to share a bit of angst!  But first, I just have to share with you the t-shirt my girls got me for Christmas …

I wear it with pride!!!

Poor, poor John Eastman!  He’s nigh on broke and cannot afford to pay his legal bills, even though his supporters have thus far donated over $500,000 so far to his legal defense fund.  In case you’re a Republican, that’s over a half-million dollars!  And his poor family … well, read what he said in his latest money beg to his followers on his website .  In short …

I’ve incurred legal fees that are three times greater than what has been raised by my Legal Defense Fund, and I have outstanding legal bills that simply must be paid – soon!

My family and I are not in a position to handle the cost of the left’s lawfare attack by ourselves, and are depending on people of good will to help.

I urgently hope that you will act today to help us erase the shortfall we are facing and get ready to defend against the attacks that await us in 2024.

On top of that, I am looking at needing an additional $1 million by February to adequately defend myself in Georgia and Washington, DC.

I urgently need your help to move forward with my defense. Will you consider making a donation today of $50, $100, $250, $500 or even $1,000 or more? It would mean so much to our family to have this additional assistance.

I went to his website, hoping for a place to comment, but there was none … he only wants money, not our opinions!  My comment would have been along the lines of … “You made your bed, now lie in it.” Eastman, in case anyone has forgotten, was one of the key players in the plot(s) to overturn the results of the 2020 election, to throw our votes into the trash and anoint Donald Trump as “Dictator for Life”.  He deserves whatever he gets, and I have zero empathy.  And if his supporters have donated over a half-million dollars to his legal defense fund, then that just proves what I’ve said all along — they have more money than brains!

Derrick Evans was a member of the West Virginia state legislature … until he was forced to resign because of his role in the January 6th insurrection and attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol!  He pleaded guilty to one felony count of civil disorder in March 2022 and later served a 3-month sentence in federal prison for his role in the riot.  And now?  Well, now Mr. Evans is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.  What nerve, eh?  Remember that 14th Amendment???

In case you have any doubts about what kind of fool Mr. Evans is, take a look at this picture of his Christmas tree …

Yes, hanging there on the branches are tiny versions of politicians like President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama, and Representative Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and even Dr. Fauci, hanging from nooses, while a Trump ornament looks on and appears to be approving the hangings with his hand raised.  THIS is the piece of shit who is running for the U.S. Congress!!!!  If this is what the Republican Party is offering up next year, they should just disband and go dig themselves a hole to hide in!

This one did give me a bit of a chuckle.  Apparently right-wing commentator/podcaster Joe Rogan got his facts mixed up a few nights ago.  During his podcast last Thursday evening, he made the following statement about President Joe Biden …

“Did you hear what he said yesterday or a couple days ago?  He was talking about the Revolutionary War. He was like, ‘One of the reasons we lost the Revolutionary War, one of the problems of the Revolutionary War, was they didn’t have enough airports!’”

But Rogan’s own producer, Young Jamie, did some quick fact-checking and corrected Rogan on air … telling him that it was actually Donald Trump who made that inane comment and it happened back in 2020 at one of Trump’s campaign rallies!!!

Talk about egg on the face!!!  And this is one of the people the Republicans listen to and believe???  WHOA!!!

  3. John Eastman will surely have a safe stash of cash somewhere, however these lawyers seem to be having a money picnic.

    The hanging tree decorations would turn the most right wing voter against him and Evans would be thrown out of the party quick smart if it happened here and possibly prosecuted for inciting violence.

    • Yes, I’m sure that Eastman isn’t spending his OWN money on his legal fees, but instead is expecting others to foot the bill for him.

      Anywhere but in the U.S., the posting of that tree and its decorations would have cost Evans his political career. Here, though, violence is becoming the norm and no doubt some people applauded him. Sigh.

    • I was sickened, disgusted, and … I don’t know what else by the ornament tree. And to think he had the gall to post it on Twitter!!! Yes, I tuned out all but friends and family for Christmas and it was lovely … but in truth, after a day filled with cooking and then visiting, eating, opening prezzies … I was left exhausted! Good thing it only happens once a year!!! And you, my friend? I know this had to be a difficult Christmas for you … I do hope you found some peace, some happiness in the holiday.

  8. Jill, there seems to be a trend about attorneys who dare to help the former president. They need money for their own representation. Ol’ Rudy just declared bankruptch citing $500 million in debts and $11 million in assets. Eastman may be headed toward the same fate. Keith

    • Yes, isn’t it odd that he not only won’t help them, but won’t even pay their billed hours? If I were an attorney, you couldn’t offer me enough to represent him! I have zero empathy for Rudy, Eastman, or any of the others who sold their soul to represent this maniac.

  9. I only buy T-shirts like that, but I haven’t seen that one yet. “Me? Sarcastic? Never!” “I’m Not Arguing. I’m Just Convincing You Why I’m Right”

    My heart bleeds for Eastman and his family! Can you imagine the cheek it took to beg for funds from paupers, while he has millions in the bank. “An extra $million” by February. So I wrote him:
    “Dear John, I can give you $20. Please provide your banking information so I can deposit it directly into your account. I don’t trust USPS to deliver a letter with a $20 bill in it. They steal from the mail, you know!”

    Maybe (I am saying just “maybe”) Rogan did that intentionally, becsuse (if I were him) I would have fired any producer who embarassed me like that “On Air”! Maybe Trump did him a nasty somewhere, and he wanted payback!

    • Amazon has the t-shirt! I think it would be perfect for you!

      Yeah, my heart goes out to Eastman and his family, too, for they will now only be able to eat steak and lobster 3 or 4 times a week! Serves ’em right for being related to him! Ha ha … I love your idea … I wonder if he’s dumb enough to take that bait?

      He could have, but … who knows? Either way, he made an ass out of himself on public radio.

  11. Today’s NYT has an OpEd by a Republican pollster (who they also say moderates their focus groups–dual roles that raised my eyebrows) claiming that whereas Trump was previously the chaos candidate, now he’s gonna run as the guy who stabilizes everything. That gem of a West Virginia candidate shows how ridiculous such claims would be.

  12. To post something like that tree on social media is somewhat more than free speech. It is publishing an intent to kill people. One could be sued for that here. It would also mean that he would be the first suspect if anything happened to one of the people noosed on the trea.
    I bet if someone would publish something similar with the orange haired guy in a noose, some people would scream “sue them, kill them, hunt them down”. This thing with applying double standards …

    • In my view, anything that incites violence or depicts violence goes far beyond the protections offered by the 1st Amendment’s free speech clause. Interestingly, it isn’t WHAT is said, so much as WHO says it. If I said some of the things that Donald Trump and his band of merry men have said, the FBI would have been pounding on my door within an hour. But then, I’m nobody, so I must be more dangerous than those in power, right? And you’re right … if it had been Trump with the noose, the outrage would have been loud and widespread! There is a definite double-standard. Sigh.
