Well…sitting here trying to decide if I’m going to do a second ride today and a thought just popped into my head…with all of the news stories of how much money trump lost in the 90’s, getting to over a billion dollars, my question is: did trump really lose a billion dollars? With all of the evidence of tax fraud throughout his life, are these losses just paper ones that allowed him to not pay any taxes? I mean, how the heck do you lose 950 million dollars in one year? I can understand that happening to a corporation, but for the closely held trump criminal organization, really losing a billion dollars would be a lot of money and would be pretty hard to do…and we know that idiot boy didn’t pay any taxes for almost 10 years. So, what I think this is is just the extension of the fraud that trump has run since he and his siblings inherited 450 million dollars from daddy and didn’t pay any taxes on that…I’m sure he has the same attitude that most rich people have, that only “little people” pay taxes and wasn’t careful committing fraud his entire life…explaining the death struggle he is engaged in to prevent anyone from seeing his tax returns…impeach…

Well…not sure how I can be running late this morning but I am…got up around 5:30 and just can’t get started…I am kind of liking taking an ibuprofen in the evening since it feels like it is still working now and my legs don’t hurt hardly at all…and after the week I had on the bike, they should hurt like crazy right now….slept okay last night but feel a little off today and the day has started with coughing and sneezing and my head is pretty plugged up but I don’t want to take anything for it since I need to have that available at night to be able to sleep…I just wish there was something I could take that didn’t screw up my BP…looks like I’ll just have to be miserable all summer and that is not something I look forward to…and the weather is making me miserable, too…I mean having to wear gloves on the bike on May 10th? I did get the bike cleaned since it was just filthy from riding in the wet the past couple of days and the shifter had started to hang up during the 6-7 shift…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but make potato salad that I have been craving all week but today will be different…not going to do a double on the bike today since it is so damn cold out there and I won’t get out until after noon and I don’t like going late in the day…more later…
Set two new records today…
Well….on a day when I thought I was going to be able to take off with the t-storms that were forecast, the rain moved out early so I got to get out and torture myself some more…and with that, I set two more new records on the bike….7 days in a row of 30+ mile rides and the most total miles in a week ever with 214.7 miles replacing the 205 miles of the old record that I set a couple of years ago. Until this year, I had never done more than 7 30 milers in a year let alone a week…and the last mileage record was an anomaly since it included my 105 mile one day record and I never got close to that again…until now. I am a little proud to still have the will and capability to keep doing this stuff at my advanced age and that has gotten me started on what I’m going to do for this year’s birthday feat of strength…and it popped into my head that maybe double my age in miles? That would probably be the last one of those that I do since I really don’t have anything to prove anymore…so why do I keep trying to prove it? Oh, well…all I know is that I frickin hurt everywhere right now and I’m going to need to take something for it or I won’t be able to move later…and no, it’s not a good pain…it’s just pain and that is a pain….
Forget about trump’s base…
Well…look…all of the hand wringing about motivating trump’s base by impeaching the idiot boy is bullshit…and even thinking about that and having it dictate our actions is even a bigger pile of bullshit….nothing, and I mean nothing that the dems do is ever going to have any damn effect on that cult of personality and hate so I say just ignore them and do what’s right for the country and for protection of the constitution…that means that impeachment has to be on the table now and forever until the criminal in chief is safely ensconsed in his cell at club fed. After the early reticence of our leaders in congress to even put impeachment on the table, it appears that most of them have had enough of the obstruction and defiance that idiot boy has shown at every turn and Nancy Pelosi is now building the impeachment case against the whole damn lot of them including Mnuchin, trump and Barr that will convince any court that they are criminals committing criminal acts every day….a smart bit of strategy that may be taking longer than we want but will give an airtight case for removal of the lot of them….let’s just have a little patience…but just a little…impeach…
May 9th
Well…running a little late with having to make two stops this morning for groceries…and that is a pain in the butt…slept okay last night but got up feeling really slow this morning and that may be the antihistamines I had to take to get rid of the headache that was killing me last night….and I topped that off with an ibuprofen for the neck pain that was keeping me from moving it…but, that helped the pain in my legs so I guess that was okay…that’s what I get from doing 6 30 mile days in a row but it looks like a day off today with rain predicted for the entire day…I will keep my eyes on the radar though to see if there is a break that I can go out in if even for just 15 miles…didn’t get much done yesterday but I’ll have to do better today since I have no excuses to use to justify being lazy…the kitchen counters can use some work and I should do the bathroom so maybe that will be on the agenda for the day…don’t have to cook anything…oh, yep I do…going to make potato salad since I have a lot of eggs to use and I haven’t made it yet this year…but that will be it….will be eating out of the freezer again for this week and I still need to make alfredo sometime this weekend so I’ll get away from chicken, chicken, chicken that is boring the hell out of me….more later….
This can’t stand…
Well…when did criminals get to say what evidence against them can be seen by prosecutors? Just this morning, trump and his criminal minions asserted a non-existent executive privilege to keep the congress from seeing the entire Mueller report, adding to his obstruction and turning it into a full-blown coverup that is being run by his toady AG William Barr…now it’s the time for Nancy Pelosi to step up and say that this can’t stand and start impeachment proceedings against idiot boy…if you discard all of the Mueller report, this action by itself is the “high crimes and misdemeanors” necessary to start the investigation process which gives the House broad powers to access anything they want…and this has been upheld by every court in the land since the country was founded. It appears that the dems are starting to grow a spine with the vote to hold Barr in contempt of congress this morning but that is not enough…Mnuchin and all of the rest who are part of this conspiracy need to be hauled in front of congress and charged with breaking the law and that includes Barr….the very existence of our democracy hangs in the balance and the dems need to stop thinking of the political fallout of impeachment since there may be no country left if they don’t get moving…impeach…
May 8th
Well…my coffee is not hot enough…aargh…back the microwave…okay…that’s better…but it doesn’t fix that it was another 5:34 morning today….but, I feel okay so maybe that’s enough…I think I slept okay last night…for me..so let’s not talk about that anymore…I did take an ibuprofen last night and probably took three years off my life but I hurt frickin everywhere after doing 5 days straight of 30 mile rides…and I have a brand new pain…yay? On the ride yesterday, I got a shooting pain under my right kneecap that I’ve never had before that is really annoying and it continued after I got off the bike…doesn’t hurt this morning but I think my legs are saying they need to have me back off a bit…so today will just be 15 miles and then it looks like a rainout tomorrow so I’ll take the day off…it may be cool to have thunderstorms all day if the forecast is correct…I did see a really cool soccer match between Liverpool and Barcelona yesterday in the semi finals of the Champions league…they play two games and use the aggregate score to see who goes to the finals…Liverpool was down 3-0 from the first game and came back to win this one 4-0 which sent them through to the final…pretty cool and there is another one on this aft with Spurs and Ajax…so guess what I’ll be doing this afternoon? Yep…not cleaning again but I do have to cook today…going to fire up the instant pot and do a pork loin that has been int the freezer a while…so, red meat and ibuprofen…crap, I’ll probably die tomorrow…more later…
Mitch McConnell is just a liar…
Well…you know, if ole Mitch would have been in office when Watergate was happening, he would have been the one last supporter that kept lying that Nixon was innocent…and would have gone on the senate floor to lie just like he did today to assert that the trump/Russia investigation was “over” and that the dems just need to move on since it was really Obama that was at fault in not catching the Russians quicker…ignoring his own role in making sure that Obama couldn’t reveal the ongoing investigation to the American people before the election. McConnell never once thought of the country but just his political calculations and how he could use trump if he helped the Russians elect him….and by blocking any revelation of the contacts and help trump got from the Russians, he has set the country up with this fake president who destroys more of the country every day. At least Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer called bullshit on these lies immediately after ole Mitch made them but need to continue to counter his lies every damn time he continues…maybe the media will finally do their job and stop the “both sides do it” bullshit and just say that the repubs are all lying…all the time…impeach…
May 7th
Well…just can’t get motivated this morning and that makes me late to get this done….my allergies were killing me last night and I had to take two different kinds of meds for it…it seems that everyone was mowing their lawns on my bike route yesterday and it blocked my head up like concrete…still have a low grade headache right now but I can’t take anything for it after last night so I guess I’ll just have to live with it…slept okay last night and feel okay this morning with very little pain but I took something for that last night,too…have been avoiding taking ibuprofen lately since it is supposed to kill you but I did some research and the warnings start to kick in if you take more than 2400 mg a day…but, I never take more than one 200 mg a day so I think I’ll risk it for the pain and inflammation relief…even after 4 30 mile days in a row, the one ibuprofen I took last night got rid of almost all of the pain….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will clean some today…and will probably only do 15 miles today since it is cold and rainy out there and I just don’t want to get wet when it’s only 46 degrees out there….where the hell is our spring? Just looked and there is no 70 degree weather for the rest of the month…and that sucks…more later….
375 prosecutors can’t be wrong…
Well…amid the cries of “no obstruction” coming from the criminal in chief, today we have the counterpoint to those lies coming from 375 former federal prosecutors who today stated unequivocally in an online posting that the only reason that idiot boy was not charged with multiple felonies of obstruction of justice is that he is president…and they made this judgement with just the evidence that was presented in the Mueller report…not the underlying evidence that supports the report. No matter how much the criminal in chief bleats that he is innocent, the evidence shows that he is a multiple felon, not even counting the campaign finance violations that the SDNY convicted Michael Cohen of and that Cohen has testified he was ordered to do by trump. Ole donnie boy better start sweating because of his continued attacks on the rule of law…there is going to be at least one prosecutor who will take all this evidence and charge him after he is out of office…there is a lot of institutional pride in people in the justice system that will want to ensure that no one is above the law…and, let’s remember all of the things that were not addressed in the Mueller report…namely trump’s finances and tax returns that are widely suspected to be a swamp of fraud and that are under investigation across the country. Poor, poor donnie…bluster and attack all you want…you are going to jail after your squatting in the WH is done…and there is not a damn thing you can do about it…or Mueller testifying to the House…tick tock asshole…impeach…
