A brief note on my governor

And his odious corruption

As I sit in this doughnut shop pondering my hatred of the infamous snacks, I can't help but to remember that classic one liner by Drake: "What a time; to be alive!" Shoutout to whoever helped him write that one.

Back to corrupt pols. This "brief Love note" and the resultant commentary below it were born of pure abhorrence.

Not much else to say besides that; I believe. Oh yeah: Please pardon the slightly more eccentric writing style; since these were originally a Facebook comment and a personal post, respectively.

I'm not surprised that my governor, Mr. Larry Large-Platitudes Hogan and his team decided to hide the following comment; previously found under one of his placations. Regardless, I can't sit on this lightly edited version any longer.

Without further ado; and here's to you, the reader:

It's overtly and palpably obvious that your administration couldn't give a Hunter's laptop about crime *nor* your constituents, Gov Hogan. Otherwise, we'd be seeing you expeditiously, and/or many moons ago, legalize selfdefense for those who aren't off duty cops.

Sure, my Fam could move from our dream home in Pistol Grip/Pretty Ghetto/Potholes Galore County. We'd be more or less welcomed by peeps who don't demonize *ancient, nontoxic plants*; NOR *inanimate objects*.

Objects in fact very similar to the ones that "happen" to protect you and your Fam. We'd no longer have to contemplate between remaining unarmed, defenseless victims; and essentially performing explicit acts on a judge just to get our God-given Rights to selfdefense.

I wonder why we don't protect most of the political "leadership" in this country with incredulously strict gun free zones? IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), not even military or police oughta be allowed to bring guns around the people who brought us quagmires like the Phoenix, Arizona VA (Veterans Affairs)'s secret wait lists; ~$33T (~$33,000,000,000,000 [trillion]) in public (not consumers/Bizz driven), national debt; the war in Ukraine; Hunter's laptop; etc.

If they need bodyguards, let them hire private citizens; armed with mace, (combat) gloves, and maybe an extremely scrutinized pocket knife. If the knives are illegal in The Big Apple? No-go.

Also, unfathomably frequent and thorough drug testing on all politicians from now on. That last policy's immediate enactment alone, dovetailed with rigorous competency evals?

This (seemingly) Godforsaken country that I fought for, exactly a decade ago, might feasibly be halfway decent again. That's of course presumptive of my sneaking suspicion that we "truly duly" and "actually factually" ever were to begin with.

At any rate, that's my two cents; from a combat Vet who doesn't know if/when he'll see his fav Pretty Precious Princesses again. Mainly thx to pols like you who "the buck stops with", supposedly.

Then again, the bucks leave our paychecks and Bizz's before we even see them. Only to end up...

Thx for attending my soapbox spiel, Sir. Or, not.

Anyone else just randomly pause their fav tv series with the pup to rip their governor a new bootyhole, or two? In particular, about his/her abundantly apparent virtue signaling?

Just me? Y'all some "lying, dog-faced pony soldier[s]!"

Seriously tho, why am I like this? Haha! Just kidding.

I don't give a flying Hunter's laptop what my Repub. governor thinks of me. I'm pretty sure that he views me, and most of his constituents who vaguely resemble me, the same way he looks at his mando swearing of his oath to the U.S. constitution: An inconvenient and persistent fact of life; for now.

I'm listening to the words that came out of his own mouth, at what I presume to be a barely finished press conference, as I type these very words. As the living legend, Lupe Fiasco famously sung on his debut album, in '06: "It hurts me soul..."

Prayerfully, you gained something pertinent (re: useful) from this post. If so, then please think about considering a show of support; however you may see fit.

Additionally, I'm easily reachable via Twitter. That's for private and/or public convos on the works written by me, my fav writers, as well as my other influences too.

The link in my bio will "counterintuitively" have that unmistakable tab in its main menu. Invariably, there's a tab in the very same menu cyclically returning you to my profile on this unfathomably superb site for writers.

Shoutout to all Vocal's inventors/staff/readers/writers. "[Y'all] the real MVP."

Lastly, if you're in the market for an incredulously original article of clothing or such: There's copious amounts at the link in my bio. Please don't believe for a NY minute that I'll be even remotely unappreciative of any all who "look out for the cookout".
