Well…running late this morning and I just can’t get started…oh, I won at pool yesterday…thought I’d get that out of the way…and I got a little bit of a sunburn with the top down out and back…forgot the sunscreen and I have to not do that…..slept okay last night but I don’t remember having dreams in a long time and that is a little disappointing…oh, well…don’t hurt too much today and my back is even pretty good today…just a little hitch in it and I can live with that….don’t have a lot to do today but I am going to make chili….I know I need to eat more than I have been and I am going to try to fix that today…..more later….

Well…feel pretty crappy this morning and I have cramps in my calves already and I haven’t even been out on the bike yet…so, that is not a great way to start the day….I did get out to have breakfast with my son yesterday and took my car…he had never ridden in a convertible before…and that is a little weird with him being 35….didn’t do much the rest of the day but watch Man U barely win their Europa league game…not a good game but they move on to the final…..not much to do today…I do have pool this aft but I need to wash the car this morning after I get more coffee in….more later….
What do they have to do?
Well…no sure if you saw it today, but trump’s asst. press secretary went on national tv and admitted that they fired Comey to end the trump/Russia investigation…yep, they admitted obstruction of justice, again, on national tv and what was the repubs reaction? Yawn…and crickets….so what do they have to do to be held responsible? Shoot someone on 5th avenue as trump bragged during the campaign? I am not surprised that the repubs are doing this since they have shown they have no ethics at all….but, the media has to get on this and start pressuring the justice department to enforce the damn laws……impeach….
Maybe I’m right….
Well….if you’ve been here over the past few months, you have seen that almost every time that I talk about trump, I preface it with idiot….and now, with a new poll that is out from the folks at Quinnipiac, I may be right in doing it. No, I’m right no matter what any poll shows…he is an idiot…but the poll did a word association of “what comes to mind when you think of trump?” And guess what the first answer was…that 39% of the people responded…yep, he is an idiot followed closely by liar, and incompetent…so, I guess I’m not wrong when I consistently call the idiot trump an idiot…lots of people think that….impeach…

Well….running a little late today with getting the grocery run done and reading the paper….had a nice day yesterday with getting out to have a few with T and having a lot of laughs…my back was fine for a day but I think I re injured it working out yesterday…and it hurts like crazy this morning so I think I’ll try to crack it later….I may be going out to b-fast with my son this morning so I am going to keep this one short so I can get some coffee down…..don’t have a lot to do today other than clean a little so that is all I’m going to do…Man U is playing this aft so that will take up some of the aft so I won’t be too bored…more later….
Are we a nation of men or of laws?
Well….just listened to Keith and his latest tweetcast and there were a few pertinent points that he made that I want to comment on….I lived through the original “Saturday night massacre” when Nixon’s solicitor general fired Archibald Cox…the special prosecutor who was investigating Nixon and Watergate. A few days after the firing, Cox came out with a statement that included this question: “Are we a nation of men or of laws?” That’s a question that is still pertinent now…are we a nation of men or of laws? Is the president above the law or does he have to adhere to them as the rest of us do? In Watergate, the answer was yes, he does have to adhere to the law just like the rest of us…and I ask the repubs in congress now…does the president have to adhere to the law as the rest of us do? The answer from McConnell yesterday was that trump is above the law, that he will not be held accountable for his crimes…even the latest count of obstruction of justice by firing the person that was investigating him…and I agree with Keith…”you don’t fire the person investigating you…” it’s only happened once before…..and we all know how that turned out…impeach….
The real reason Comey was fired…
Well….forget all of the bullshit and lies that are coming from trump and his cronies about why they fired James Comey yesterday….there is only one reason, and it’s not how he handled the Clinton e-mails…a few days before he was fired, Comey went to the justice department to ask for more money and personnel to expand the trump/Russia investigation…after the preliminary work found a massive connections that he needed more money and investigators to unravel. Once sessions heard about it, he ran to trump in a panic and convinced him to do something…and that something was obstruction of justice by firing Comey. With this little tattletale move by sessions, it is clear that it was a lie that he recused himself ..from the Russian investigation, but, everyone knows that there are only liars in this administration and this is just the latest lie from the creepy Keebler elf. Sessions needs to resign right now…and the repubs in the house and senate need to start doing their damn jobs and holding trump accountable….impeach….

Well….up and running a little early today…still getting up way too early but I’m not sure what to do about it….go to bed later? Nope…too damn bored to stay up later….at least the pain is less today and my back is finally a little better…I felt it crack working out yesterday and I hope it does it again today….at least the temp is up enough that I can get on the bike as soon as I finish working out….had a good ride yesterday but didn’t get much else done….with getting this place cleaned up, I don’t have a lot to do around here so I guess that’s okay….I may be meeting up with T for a couple late this aft so that is something to look forward to….more later…..
Trump fires Comey….
Well…did anyone else see this coming? As the noose closes around trump and his cronies, trump flails around like the wounded elephant that he is and fires the FBI director….the reaction to this obstruction of justice has been varied on the web from “we’re all screwed” to “this just shows how desperate trump is”…..I’m not sure how I feel about this just yet but I still have a little faith in our institutions and think there are enough ethical folks out there working on these investigations that won’t let this deter them from doing their jobs…like the NY AG who is working on trump money laundering and many other crimes that his gang have committed. And the grand jury in VA that has already issued RICO warrants that are yet to be served…and that is where Comey was for his last day of work….talking to that grand jury and I’m sure that is one of the reasons they fired him today…but, trump is so damn stupid and doesn’t understand how government works that he thinks that firing the director will stop all of the investigations…what does he expect all of the FBI agents to do? Just sit at their desks and play on Facebook until a new director is named? Not gonna happen…the stink of desperation is all over this….impeach…
I forgot this….
Well…with my son coming into town, he had to get a rental car to get around for a few days…and he shows up with a new Camaro….now, I’ve heard that those cars were kind of claustrophobic with the gun slot windows and the small doors, but it is worse than that….I had a hard time getting in the darn thing…much worse than my tiny little Miata and for a car that big, there is not a lot of room inside it either. I wonder what product designer signed off on it? It’s not a car I could live with on a daily basis, that’s for sure…and I’ve lived with the Miata for over 4 years now….
