Well…with it well proven that the idiot trump has committed many, many, many crimes throughout his lifetime culminating in his extortion and bribery of the president of Ukraine, I guess he’s getting tired of doing just regular old crimes and has now started to explore the possibility of committing war crimes in Iran. After his unlawful murder of the Iranian general, he tweeted up a storm about the attacks he will order if Iran retaliates at all…and those include murdering civilians and destroying Iranian cultural sites…but there is just one teensy tiny little problem with that…either of those attacks is considered a war crime by both US law and by treaties that the US has signed…but, that didn’t matter to ole GW so I guess trump feels he can get away with it, too. The only problem with that is if idiot boy travels outside the US after he is out of office since it is the duty of any country who is a signatory to the treaties to arrest and transport to the Hague for trial any war criminal who is on their soil…and the UK is one of those so no more trump golf there…did you ever wonder why neither Cheney or GW ever travel outside the country? That’s the reason…they committed war crimes by ordering the torture of prisoners and they will end up in a cell in the Hague if they do….this is the big problem that Obama created by not prosecuting GW and his cronies for the multiple felonies they committed when in office…now every repub crook thinks they are immune from any law since GW got away with it…

Well…feel pretty lousy this morning and with the hot and cold flashes yesterday, I think it may still be the cold I’ve had hanging on for a couple of weeks now…and I am still coughing, too…even have been thinking about taking the day off the bike but I really can’t ignore this run of good riding weather we’ve been having…and that looks like it’s going to continue for the next week at least…so, I’ll suck it up and keep going to try to burn out the bug by going harder on the bike…slept okay last night and even had some dreams again but they were about butterflies that could change shape and that is just a little too weird for me….woke up before I could find out if they were dangerous or not and I didn’t mind that much…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to try to start to get back to a schedule today by restarting the prep work for the last room I need to paint….I was going to run errands today but have decided to wait until my normal day on Wed…have plenty of food here and really don’t need anything else and that will help with not spending any money that I need to do this month….so this week looks kind of boring to start but who knows what will happen? More later….
Did they ever meet the idiot boy?
Well…with reporting coming out of the Pentagon that the idiot trump was presented with a “menu” of ways to attack Iran for reasons unknown, and that killing Soleimani was the most extreme action that was just thrown in to make the other choices look reasonable…I have a question for these idiots: “have you ever met idiot boy?” With his fan boy love of dictators and murderers from the time he was involved with the mob in NYC, it has always been clear that he has always been really pissed that he couldn’t just do what the mob bosses did and just make people giving him problems “go away”. So now they give him the chance to murder someone and they are surprised that he took it? Giving the idiot that choice is like giving a monkey a gun and then just hoping nothing bad happens….but knowing it would and doing it anyway. And, what the hell is it with a “menu” of ways to attack Iran? Did trump say “I’ll take an order of murder and two orders of drone strikes please?” Just having to present anything this complex to the idiot in the form of a “menu” shows that he is not competent to do his job and should be removed….and I’m sure idiot boy is walking around his golf club with his chest puffed out with his cronies telling him what a wonderful tough guy he is…and that is just sickening…and I know how trump is taking this whole thing….in his mind, he is thinking “why did I get impeached for extortion when it’s okay for me to murder someone? It’s not fair…” Oh, and Iraq’s parliament just voted to throw the rest of the US troops out of the country because of this murder….nice job, morons…
January 5th
Well….at least I remembered to put January in the title of this one…the past few days I was locked into December for some reason and had to come back and change a few of these…and no, it’s not from getting old…it’s from getting started before coffee and the jump start it gives my brain…at least that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it…slept okay last night and just feel sore this morning and I know what that is from, too…the river finally flooded the trail yesterday and I had to turn around and run the trail backwards to get my miles in…and that added about 4 miles to the ride so I got 16 in yesterday and went pretty hard, too so I guess I’ve earned the pain…and there were multiple other place along the trail that were just inches from flooding so I am curious what it’s going to look like this morning when I get out…I did get dome work done around here yesterday…spent some time working on the furnace to get the noise out of the blower and was somewhat successful…had to re align the motor and tighten the hold down bolts along with tightening the set screw that holds the pulley since that was loose…then, I had to tighten the belt with some shims and that helped get rid of some of the slapping from the belt but not all of it so I need to work on that some more today…but it is quite a bit better so I may just let it run for a while before I work on it again….it does look like the dog poop idiots that were living next door have moved out since I haven’t seen a car there in over three weeks and the mailbox is overflowing with junk mail…the weird thing is I’m here all the time and never saw a truck or anyone move anything…and there were at least 6 people living there….we’ll see…just hope whoever rents it again doesn’t have dog and takes care of it better….okay, I need to check to see if there is any soccer on and read the rest of the news…more later….
Lies and more lies…
Well…they open their mouths and they lie, they lie and lie and lie…and on Iran and their justification for murdering Iran’s top army minister they lie…reporters who have seen the evidence that trump and his stupid cronies used to justify murder all came from Saudi Arabia and it has been described by multiple reporters as “razor thin” and in no way says that a “major” attack was imminent….hey, you remember the last time the repubs lied us into war? Yep, they are doing it again and instead of Russia being the beneficiary, this time Saudi Arabia gets to see one of their chief rivals attacked and they have to do nothing more than feed the morons and trump and then sit back and see their stupidity in action. We know that this murder was done without proof by the reaction of the Pentagon folks who we asked by reporters why now? Why did they murder this general when the three previous administrations had the opportunity but declined to do it since they knew it would push the middle east into war with unknown consequences for everyone?All the spokesmen did was bluster, get pissed off and cut the press conference short…if there was such justification, why wouldn’t they make their case unless they couldn’t? Since all these people do is lie, we can all assume that every justification they say is a lie and now we are left to wonder…is this trading lives for trump’s reelection chances? He’s done it before…
January 4th
Well…another crappy night of sleep and I was tempted to get up at 4:03 when I woke up with having so much trouble getting back to sleep…and now I feel tired and slow that I hope won’t go on all day…I did just notice that my thumb is quite a bit better today and really doesn’t hurt much and that is a welcome change from the pain I’ve had for the past few months….it still spikes a little but I can live with that…I did get out for a nice bike ride yesterday and took the chance that the trails would be clear and they were passable so I didn’t have to ride into town on the streets…but the river is only a foot below the trails so I am curious if it got over the river portion of the trail overnight….will have to wait a while for that since it is cold out there and I don’t want to be cold just yet….I think the idiots next door that had the dogs that crapped all over my lawn moved out and I can’t be happier….haven’t seen any of them since before christmas but I’m not going to get my hopes up just yet….maybe the owner of the house will have to do the clean up I had to do here and get rid of the trash, old grills, and fire pit that is in the back yard…I can hope…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same but my internet tv is not working again so I won’t be able to watch sports until I can text my son to take a look at it…but that won’t be until later…most people don’t get up when I do….so, I may have to clean some until he can get it fixed…more later….
Now we know why Deutsche Bank lent money to trump…
Well…didn’t we all know that this was going to come out sooner or later? As no bank in the US would lend to the idiot trump after his multiple bankruptcies and stiffing of creditors over a decade, for some reason, Deutsche bank stepped in to bail trump out for hundreds of millions of dollars and no one could figure out why…but, now we know…the loans were being guaranteed by a sanctioned Russian bank, VTB, that no American was legally supposed to deal with…and by extension the loans were backed by Putin since VTB is supported by the Russian government and does the bidding of the government. So, Deustche had no liability at all but were just a conduit to get illegal money to trump and bore no risk if idiot boy defaulted….and gee, do you see anything wrong with the head of an enemy government having hundreds of millions of dollars of leverage over our useful idiot president? But that’s not all of it…this money that came from VTB was laundered through inflated real estate purchases at trump’s buildings…the same thing that Manafort went to jail for and something that trump would need to keep quiet…and we can see that Putin pressured trump with this fact with all of his ass kissing to Putin…now, I want to know what prosecutor is going to run with this one? Reports have the SDNY looking into this but it appears that they are going to let Deutsche off with just another in the billions of dollars of fines they have paid for being the biggest money laundering bank in the world….where are the criminal charges? Trump knew about what was going on and approved it so why is he not being charged? I hope that the prosecutors are just waiting for him to be out of office and then drop this on him like a ton of bricks….no one is above the law…or should be…
So now, trump just murders people…
Well…just when you thought that trump and his cronies couldn’t get any dumber….yesterday idiot boy ordered our military to murder the head of Iran’s army…and with that have set the middle east on fire no matter what they lie and say that this murder has made the middle east “safer”….but, if it is safer, why did the idiot Pompeo just tell all Americans in Iraq to run to the exits and get out right now? Look, this is just another example of the lawlessness that is rampant in this administration….not even bothering to inform the congress that has the only power to wage war…not the executive branch, not some liar of a president who is doing this for only one reason…to distract from the fact that he has been impeached and to give Moscow Mitch an excuse to go in front of the cameras and gravely say that impeachment should be put on hold in a time of war…see how convenient that is? All trump had to do was start a war and he is free and clear from the consequences of his criminality by being even more of a criminal….and the repubs are all chiming in with exactly that talking point…that impeachment of a “war time” president just can’t go on…even though there is not one “get out of jail free card” in the constitution anywhere. So now we have the most corrupt and dishonest group of criminals starting another mideast war that will cost thousands of American, Iraqi, and Iranian lives and the idiot trump doesn’t take to the tv to explain it at all since his too damn dumb to even understand what he has just done….and the rest of the world is going to pay just because this asshole just can’t stop being a criminal…this is the modern repub, folks….
January 3rd
Well…running a little late today and I’m not sure why….I did stay in bed til 6:30 so that may be part of it…I did sleep okay and had some weird dreams that were welcome after not having any for so long…I do need to ease into the day, though since I’m feeling a little slow and unmotivated right now…and I’m still getting used to the fact that they changed all of the shows I ran in the background on tv in the morning on the first of the month….I had gotten so used to the Lone Ranger that I never really thought about it or watched it as I did the first one of these and then got to catching up on the news…but now, the new shows actually get my attention which interrupts me and I’m sure I don’t like it…okay, just a little crabby this morning with the big orange idiot trying to start another war in the middle east that I will talk about later…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday after working on the bike and getting a ride in after the flat but I do need to do better today and get some cleaning done…the dust is turning from bunnies into wolves and need to be dealt with before they turn into raptors….but that is going to wait until more coffee and some news…and maybe another one of these before the ride…who knows? More later…..
It’s been a day…
Well…so, I was hoping for a nice easy day and a bike ride this morning…and when I rode over to JBP to take a look at the trails, it started out that way….the trails were snow an ice covered, as I expected, so I turned around and headed back here but got a flat just leaving the park entrance…luckily, it was a front tire and I didn’t feel like walking a mile and a half back here so I just started to ride it back here at about 3mph and waited for the tire to come off the rim as it usually does but it made it all the way back here so that was cool. So, I got back here and then headed to Meijers to get another tube and this Meijers had the Slime tubes that I like that are much thicker than the cheap Schwinn ones that I bought last time…and only 8 bucks so that made me smile a bit….so I replaced the tube, put the bike back together, and decided to scout out bike lanes on the streets around here and was able to find enough to get 10 miles in today…so, until the trails thaw, it looks like I can still ride every day…and I think I’m going to ride into the city tomorrow to just look around and see if they have any bike lanes there that may be usable after it gets warmer in the spring….I may just be able to ride outside all winter if this bike lane thing works out…pretty cool….
