Do you feel abandoned yet?

As the eviction ban expired, the House of Representatives departed for a 6 Week paid vacation. The Senate too will soon depart for their paid Summer vacation.

The object of this post is not to express my approval or objection to the ban on evictions during this “epidemic”. It is instead, to point out the total disconnect of the “ruling” class from the “ruled” class. Make no mistake, that is exactly how they see themselves and how they see us. I might point this out, not all of the ruling class are elected.

As the “ruling class” depart on yet another paid vacation, they call it a recess, not a single one of the rulers is facing eviction from their residence. In some cases none of them are facing eviction from the multiple residences they own. Nor are any of the monied elite who shovel money their way for their campaign “war chests”. You can bet your bottom dollar, if you have one, that Congress would have acted if they were facing eviction or had an effect on the contributions from the monied elite.

Now, do you see the lie in all of this? Especially the lie, We are all in this Together. Not a single one of the ruling class suffered the pain that the ruled class suffered during the “pandemic”. No my friends, the pain and suffering was strictly reserved for the ruled class.

This moratorium on evictions was courtesy of the CDC, not Congress. After several extensions the Court ruled there would be no further extensions without Congressional action. Congress failed to act and the moratorium ended last night at Midnight. The House offered many excuses for this failure. The excuses offered were almost laughable. They say they did not have enough time. The fact is that they had plenty of time, the Court did not say no more extensions without Congressional action at 11:59 PM last night. They made that decision in late June. They chose not to act. Another excuse offered was that lawmakers were blindsided by the Presidents inaction. The Court did say no further extensions without Congressional action, they did not say without action by the President, or the CDC. They specified Congressional action.

When it comes to not having enough time, why is that excuse not offered when they appear before the camera. They seem to have plenty of time for finding a camera to get in front of or posting on their social media accounts.

A total freaking disconnect

I had resisted the urge to do this post last month. But no more, I will try my best not to use profanity.

Got a letter from the RNC(republican national committee)today. Yep, you guessed it. They are begging for money(donations) $35, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or $5,000 they were even kind enough to enclose a pre-paid, pre-addressed USPS Priority Envelope.

Seems the RNC is having an emergency, they need to raise $7.3 million in the next 21 days. The response letter they enclosed has the words Emergency Campaign Reply in red lettering all capitalized. All I could think of was “Cry me a f#%&ing river”. They did say please return by May 4, 2020, or I could do this online so they could get the contribution immediately.

The RNC can consider this as my reply, if they wish.

It would appear that who ever is in charge of sending out these “mailers” may have missed a headline or two recently. That or the RNC is no more than a horde of “heartless bastards”, uncaring and unfeeling.

In case you at the RNC missed the recent headlines, allow me to bring you up to speed.

In case you missed it we are in the middle of a “National Emergency”. Don’t worry it is only a pandemic, something caused by the Wuhan novel corona virus. The virus causes a disease called covid 19. I really do not see how you missed that one as it is the news all day, daily briefings and all. You really need to pay attention, dip stick.

Something else you may have missed. It was reported that unemployment claims went up by 6.6 million bringing the number of unemployed to between 16 and 17 million depending on the news source you get the information from. Some say that these numbers have not been seen since the Great Depression. Tying in with this many that have been laid off or furloughed are being denied the use of PTO(paid time off)during the lay off or furlough. Added to this many have already received their last pay check and will not see another in the foreseeable future. Do you live under a rock? No, according to the mailer I received your office is located in DC.

Speaking of your office being in DC, will you be able to make your rent this month and pay your utilities as well as pay all the employees in your office? Last I heard you had something over $200 million on hand, you should be okay. While you sit on over $200 million and beg for more, there are many out here in the world you are disconnected from that are at this very moment trying to come up with a way to pay rent and utilities, or mortgages and utilities, put food on the table, put clothing on their children’s backs. You may have heard as these as the three basic necessities, Food, Clothing and Shelter.

This post began with my doing now what i resisted doing last month. Last month I received the exact letter from the NRC, well almost exact the reply date then for your emergency campaign reply was April 6, 2020. I at that time gave you the benefit of a doubt, I told myself you just did not have time to stop the mailer. This time you had plenty of time to stop the mailers.

I have no idea if the DNC is still begging for money at this time or not. I suspect that they are.

The RNC accuses the DNC of “being out of touch” with the American citizens. They may well be, but are you heartless bastards in touch?

Now I am going to follow the advice of the CDC. I am going to wash my hands and practice social distancing. I am going to do both at the same time.

I am going to wash my hands of you. As for social distancing I am going to get as far from you as humanly possible. As soon as possible I am going to register NPA(no party affiliation).

This is my official reply, Piss Off.
