Well….running a little late today and I just can’t get started…not sure why I feel so crappy this morning but I think part of it is the allergies that have flared up the past two days…slept okay last night but that really didn’t help how I feel now…could go back to bed if I could sleep but I know that won’t happen….had a nice lunch with T yesterday and that was fun…but, I didn’t get anything else done and that will probably happen again today…if my motivation level doesn’t increase, I can see just vegging the day away….but, I will get out on the bike later after the temp comes up enough…but that looks like it won’t happen until the aft with it being only 25 right now….not much to do today…don’t have to cook since I have leftovers but I may make some more pickles to have later in the week…and the bathroom needs work so that should be done but who knows? More later…

trump trashes your 401K
Well…just sitting here waiting for cocktail time and thought I’d do a shorty on idiot boy’s trade war that he started yesterday….after the 730 point drop yesterday and the 450 point drop today, it puts the stock market in negative territory for the year and that makes it the worst two weeks in the past ten years…and the question I have for all of the morons who voted for this idiot is: “how’s that working for your 401K? Had enough winning yet?” The carnage appears like it is going to continue Monday, too, with futures down another 2% which will mean another 7-800 point drop and means a close to 10% drop in the money you were counting on to retire in just the past week….such a great businessman, so much winning…I hope all of you morons go broke….will serve your ignorant asses right….impeach….
Tidbits…
Well….sitting here waiting to hear from T about lunch and thought I’d do a few short takes or tidbits on the happenings of the past few days…the warmonger John Bolton was appointed national security adviser and that means we’re all going to die since that idiot has never met a diplomatic situation that he hasn’t proposed that war could solve….poor old Jared Kushner has been found to be selling the president’s daily briefing intel to the Saudis, trying to get them to bail out his company that is going to go broke without a billion dollars from somewhere later in the year…and the little asshole had a fit when the Qataris wouldn’t bail him out so he had daddy in law conspire with the Saudis and the UAE to attack Qatar…the idiot in chief started a trade war with China yesterday with the resulting 730 point drop in the stock market…how’s all that winning going? The last adult lawyer left the idiot trump’s team yesterday and was replaced with a fox news conspiracy theory shouter…and I am laughing about that…haven’t seen one lawyer on Mueller’s team leave….and the latest rumor is that the subpoenas that were delivered to the trump organization are to support a RICO investigation and that is really, really bad news for trump and his idiot crime family….remember, we only have to deal with this crap until November…if we get out to vote….impeach….
March 23rd
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….slept okay last night but I feel a little crappy today and I’m not sure why…I did get out an hang out with my son and his wife last night and that was quite a bit of fun…haven’t seen them since the
SD concert last fall and that is just too long….I am still pretty irritated that he weather hasn’t broken into spring yet….40’s for highs are about 10 degrees colder than it should be and that keeps me from getting on the bike until the afternoon…and that means I won’t be able to ride today if I have lunch with T….I was going to clean yesterday but didn’t get to it but maybe I can do that this morning after coffee…..I am feeling more like I should take the morning off and just veg and that looks attractive right now….not much to do today….I do have an errand to run this morning but that is about it….more later….
No one noticed….
Well…with the sordid details coming out of how the repubs conspired with Cambridge Analytica and the Russians to steal the 2016 election, there has been one little detail that no one noticed…at least very few people noticed…and that is that there were Facebook employees “embedded” in the CA offices helping them use Facebook data to sway people either to hate Hillary more, or to try to suppress minority votes. Yep, that’s right…Facebook actually asked it’s employees how they felt about the idiot trump and then the ones with positive views were assigned to help CA trash our election and manipulate people. That’s enough for me to think about getting off Facebook totally…I never share any personal or political stuff there since I think giving companies like Facebook salable data on me is just a little too creepy…it’s the reason I refuse to get any discount cards that you have to use at the checkouts of any store…it’s none of their damn business what I do and what I buy, and that information belongs to me…and, with the latest revelations of how Facebook interfered with the election using personal data of their users, I guess my paranoia is pretty well justified…let’s boycott Facebook and make them pay for what they’ve done….geez…
April 22nd
Well…running a little late today and, as you know, it’s usually the grocery run on Thursday morning….and, yow, 75 bucks without any protein at all? I did have to get a bunch of other stuff since my supplies were running low but darn, 75 bucks? Oh, well….slept okay last night and feel pretty good today…I guess I can thank being good for 4 days in a row and my allergies having lessened some…but, my back is still bugging me…geez, I’m getting old….did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but didn’t get anything else done so…nope….not even going to say I’m going to get something done…don’t really need to so no guilt today….I did hear from my youngest son yesterday and I am hanging out with he and his wife for a while tonight…I guess they have trivia night at a place in Dutton that is just a short ways from here and it will be cool to see them….and Michigan plays tonight so that will keep me busy….more later….
“DO NOT CONGRATULATE”
Well… the idiot trump show just how stupid he is again yesterday when he call Vlad Putin to “congratulate” him for winning the election in Russia last week….and this was against the advice of every damn person who works on foreign policy in this “administration”…and they even went so far as to put it in all caps in idiot boy’s briefing materials…and now, the so called *president shows his support for a thug murderer who rigged the Russian election, intimidated people who would vote against him, and murdered one of the people who was going to run against him…and the idiot normalizes this behavior by congratulating him…and he doesn’t even bring up the fact that Putin ordered a murder on UK soil of a former spy. When is it enough, repubs? When is the damage to this country enough? All of this damage just so the moron in chief can get a little praise from his master, Putin…who told trump that he is doing a “wonderful job” with the economy and trump ate that crap right up and praised Putin for his “leadership” in the world..and by leadership I mean meddling everywhere, murdering his foes, and screwing with elections across the world….just the kind of thing that trump would like to do…impeach….
March 21st
Well…running a little early today and it was another night of choppy sleep and getting up early…don’t feel too badly today, though, so I guess it wasn’t too bad…..and I was good again last night so that helps….it was an okay day yesterday but they had the water shut off here all day and that is annoying…and the wind was blowing over 20 all day so I skipped the bike ride to let my legs heal up a little…don’t think it did much good since they still hurt quite a bit today and I had cramps in my feet all night….and that is not really normal….probably should take some ibuprofen for it in a few minutes but I want to wait until just before the bike to help my hand cramps….and that won’t be until this aft since it won’t be warm enough until later….didn’t get much done yesterday but there is cleaning to be done today that I will get to…soccer is off for the week for the international break so that makes things a little more boring…but, F1 starts tomorrow and I need to figure out what channels it is going to be on this year….more later…
More links to trump….
Well…not sure if you saw the news stories yet that are revealing today that the data company, Cambridge Analytics, that was working for trump targeting vulnerable people during the election to spread Russian propaganda was also working for the Russian state oil company, Lukoil. Guess who controls Lukoil? Yep, you guessed it Vlad Putin…and CA met with the Russians many times before and during the elections. It was also revealed that CA stole the personal information from 50 million Facebook users and used that to micro target people to reinforce the lies that were told about Hillary and motivate right leaning people to get out and vote….and this was the determining factor in the election when only 77,000 votes were needed to steal trump a win in the Electoral College. One thing you need to remember here is how much Jared Kushner bragged that he worked with CA to win the election and Time magazine even put him on their cover for just that…but, at the time it wasn’t known how crooked CA was and how far in bed they were with the Russians. We now know what was going on not because any repub here would do their job, but because investigators in the UK are doing the job that the repubs in congress should have done…to protect the constitution but they are now like the congress in any banana republic…protecting the strongman at the top and the hell with the rule of law or the people of the country. I have this sinking feeling that the only way we can save this country is to throw the repubs out in November…but, if we miss that chance, this will be the end of the US as we know it…shame on you, repubs…impeach….
March 20
Well…running a little early today with not sleeping well and getting up early…and they are shutting the water off here for the day so that is a pain that I’ll have to deal with here in a few minutes…had an okay day yesterday and even had the top down on the car…and there is a reason for that that I’ll relate later….oh, and I won at pool….didn’t get anything else done but I will try to get some cleaning done today since I think I’ll skip the bike ride with not being able to shower after….and it is only 21 degrees outside so it will take forever for the temp to come up enough….and my back is acting up again so maybe it could use a rest….I do need to pay some bills today so that will keep me busy for all of 5 minutes….so there may be some vegging going on today….more later….
