Well…as we all know, the idiot trump is the worst person in this country and he shows it every day…the last outrage from the self-centered narcissist is his self congratulatory “rally” the other night where it was all trump, all the time…and he told the tiny crowd that he was the smartest person in the country…but what didn’t he say? There was no mention at all of the 9 sailors that were missing from the destroyer John McCain…who have now been given up for dead. And now, two days later, still not a peep of condolence from him, no call to the families, no nothing since nothing exists outside of him…and nothing happens in the world unless it happens to him…I have no words for this asshole..this worthless pile of crap..other than impeach the son of a bitch….

Well…running about on time today even with doing the grocery run….slept much better last night and had dreams of my Fiat 124 Spyder that I had back in the 70’s…and that was cool…only woke up about 4 times overnight and that is a welcome change from how it has been lately….and my back has been good for over a week now and I am hoping this is the new normal….I did go out and find a new bike yesterday but they will probably be out of them by the time I have the money for it next month…and it is only 339 bucks for all of the features my current bike has…the gold on my current bike has been getting a little dated and I am looking forward to having a black one….a Darth Vader bike…all blacked out with black wheels….not much to do today….I am going to finish the bathroom and do a few other things but there is no soccer to watch so I’ll be a little bored as the day goes on…oh, well…more later….
And now for something completely different…
Well….okay, I stole that title from Monty Python….but, after all trump all the time, it is time for something light that doesn’t mean much….was telling Tom about this a couple of weeks ago….I have been using the same BIC shaver now since the start of June…and it still shaves close and comfortably….normally, they last at best a couple of weeks, but three months? The only thing I can figure out is that their steel supplier made a mistake and hardened the blade steel as it should be…not to the specifications of the company since no shaver company wants their disposable shavers to last three months. So now, we have another contest to see just how long this one will last…any bets?
Poor little trump…
Well…not sure if you saw the deranged meltdown of the idiot trump in Phoenix last night…just more of the same of grievance after grievance…fake news, bad media, I’m great, you suck nonsense that is part and parcel of his “campaign” rallies….and if you looked at the fox news coverage, it looked like standing room only with a big crowd there…but, real photos of the crown size are surfacing on the internet showing that the hall was 50% filled at best and maybe not even that high….I wonder how donnie is feeling about that crowd size…that he can’t even fill a medium size hall…I’ll bet Obama could have filled it to overflowing and I’m sure that bugs the crap out of the idiot….and we all need to retweet the photos to the idiot in chief just to rub it in…it will be fun to see the meltdown…impeach….
August 23rd
Well….running really early today with not sleeping at ll last night and just giving up on the entire process at about 5:15…ha, that’s a Who song….had these serial dreams that lasted about an hour each but was up for a half hour in between each one…that makes it about 3 hours of sleep last night but I don’t feel too badly right now…I know I’ll crash later and have to take a nap but I also need to watch Liverpool play in the UCl later today….that will take up some of the boredom this afternoon…had a nice lunch with T yesterday with lots of laughs and it was good to see her as always….it will be nice to have cash coming in next month but the next 4 weeks are going to be a complete shutdown since I’m broke until then…not much to do today…it is pretty cold out right now so I think I’ll wait a while to get on the bike today…and I should complete the bathroom cleaning…oh, the powerball is up to 700 million for tonight..I have my tickets and my fingers crossed….more later….
Is Tucker Carlson stupid?
Well….of all the stupid things I’ve heard right wing pundit Tucker Carlson say over the years, yesterday he was the winner of the stupid of the year award…after the idiot trump was looking at the eclipse without protective glasses and his staff was heard shouting at him to not do it, tucker goes on tv and says this of trump’s stupidity: “…in a move that was not a complete surprise, he looked directly at the sun without any glasses. Perhaps the most impressive thing that any president has ever done.” More impressive than rescuing the economy from the Bush depression? More impressive than FDR winning world war two? More impressive than Washington ensuring that the presidency would not become a monarchy? More impressive than Kennedy facing down the Russians in Cuba? More impressive than Lincoln winning the Civil War? This delusional little trump kisser has got to go since that one paragraph shows he is no longer grounded in reality..can we please never hear from Tucker again? Or any of the supposed “brains” of the right? Geez….
Some good stuff for a change….
Well….have been polluting this space for quite a while with all things trump so I think today, I will not do that….there are other topics to talk about and I think I’ll do that instead. It has been heartening to see the response to the neo-nazis who have been polluting cities across the country with their hate and racism…starting in Charlottesville and then in Boston over the weekend where 40,000 people turned up to counter the 100 or so Nazis that had hunkered down in a gazebo in a park there…they Nazis called it a “freedom of speech” rally but the only speech they care about is their hate speech that has no place in any society…these Nazi idiots had been emboldened by trump having supported them and had scheduled 37 more “rallies” across the country that have since been cancelled…since these supposed tough guys as scared shitless of good Americans calling them out and that there are finally consequences to their actions…public shaming, job loss, and sunlight are the best antidote to these haters and they have crawled back under the rocks where they came from….another big miscalculation these morons made is their belief that real Americans would buy into their hate since the echo chambers they listen to convinced them they would….turns out that they are still fringe assholes and companies across the world are shutting down their hate sites and starving them of the money that supports their racism…who’d have thought that so many people and companies would do the right thing and step on these cockroaches? Keep it up….
August 22nd
Well…back to sleeping crappy again and last night was the worst one in quite a while…so, I feel a little crappy this morning even though I was good last night….don’t hurt too much today and it looks like I may have to take the day off the bike with the rain today…I am going out to get some powerball tickets this morning with the jackpot being close to 700 million….that would be cool to win…did get the shower cleaned yesterday…made the mistake of putting my glasses on when I looked at it and could see the work that needed to be done…over 2 hours of work but it looks good now…will do the rest of the bathroom today but that will only take about a half hour….other than that, not much to do today…may have lunch with T but I’m not sure about that…more later….
The eclipse…
Well…I have a little problem with all of the breathless reporting that the solar eclipse today was “rare” and a “once in a lifetime event”….since it’s not true….most every year there are at least one total eclipse…this one was a little unusual since it crossed the entire US and lots of people could see it, but it is not rare if you take the entire world into account…in 7 years there will be one that comes onshore near Texas and goes up the east coast to Maine….and in 2026, there will be a 95% eclipse here in GR…and you only have to go a little toward Detroit to see it in totality. The one today was still pretty cool and I took a look at it with a stack of 5 exposed 35 mm films and that worked like a champ…had forgotten all about that method until I saw it on twitter earlier in the day…..
Trump has broken the Secret Service…
Well…run across this little nugget in the news today….the Secret Service has already burned through it’s entire yearly budget protect trump, his family, and his cronies in only 7 months….it’s even gotten so bad that some agents have hit the ceiling of the overtime they are allowed to have and have been working for free on some weekends. At 3 million a pop to visit one of his atrocious golf courses, it’s no wonder he is burning through the cash so fast…but, it’s not his cash so I’m sure he doesn’t give a damn….now, just one question..is this making America great again? Maybe for the idiot, but not for the SS agents who are being treated as servants by trump and his family….and to think, there was that huge right wing uproar when Obama wore a tan suit…where are those voices now? Impeach….
