Shut Up Time

The question is.  What are you going to do about it.  Or as we used to say in the old neighborhood.  "Whata're you gonna do aboutittt!"  If you notice there is no question mark at the end of that.  It wasn't used as a question.  This would be invoked after someone had unwisely run their mouth, antagonizing someone else because they had nothing better to do.  But doing it till the person being antagonized, would have had enough and invoked.  "Whata're you gonna do aboutittt!"  And that, was a throw down.  It was the slap in the face, requesting a duel.  It was now put up or shut up time.  Since the original culprit was just running their mouth, 9 times out of 10, they would just shut up.  They never had any intention or ability to put up, so they just shut up.

This came to mind after one Anthony Fauci appeared before Congress for the umpteenth time and Wanna be a Big Bad, Tough Guy, Congressman, Jim Jordan told one Anthony Fauci.  "You lied!"  Fauci said.  "Who me?  Me, lie!  I never lie!"

Of course this Fauci guy has lied so many times, we don't think anyone could count it all up.  And his answer sounded a lot like Al Pacino, when he played Tony Montana in 'Scarface' and said.  "I always tell the truth.  Even when I lie."  Maybe Fauci should have used that line.  But better still he could have used our old line.  "Whata're you gonna do aboutittt!"

Obviously, Wanna Be a Big Bad Tough Guy, Congressman Jim Jordan isn't going to do anything.  So it's shut up time for Wanna be a Big Bad, Tough Guy, Congressman, Jim Jordan.

For Hunter Biden it was that moment when his ex-sister-in-law/girlfriend revealed a text message that showed Hunter was waiting for Mookie.  No, old time Mets fans not your Mookie, Mookie Wilson but Mookie the drug dealer.  That showed one of the jurors and eventually all the jurors, that Hunter Biden was a druggie with a gun.  Exactly what he was charged with.  So it's shut up time for one Hunter Biden, son of President Old Brains Biden.

For all you Old Brains President Biden lovers and there were 81 million of you in 2020, don't despair, his boy will probably only get probation.  But even if he does time, it will be in a minimum security facility that has a swimming pool, a 9 hole golf course and pickleball courts.  And, he'll be out in a few months.

And for those of you thinking what about Trump?  Well we're waiting for the sentencing.  We need to see if he's sent to prison.  Then if he still runs for President, while in prison.  If he gets elected or not, while in prison.  And then we'll know, it's shut up time.  But until then, we just don't know.  And, we don't know who it will be shut up time for either.
