Well…when you look back to where the downward slide of this country started, you only have to look as far as ole ronnie reagan and his dishonest administration…and letting him get away with Iran/Contra when he admitted he broke the law, set the stage for the idiot trump not being prosecuted for his crimes while in office. The whole bullshit of tax cuts for the rich “trickling down” to the rest of us and paying for themselves came from ole ronnie and his cronies, and no matter how many times it has been proven to not work, tax cuts are still the number one policy of the current repubs…but they don’t even give a reason anymore…they know who gets them into office and they need to pay back the rich for those contributions…and ole ronnie started the nasty, lying election advertising, too, and removed the fcc prohibitions against it and killed the equal time rule that leveled the playing field by forcing the media to give opposing views free air time to rebut the lies the repubs always use….so you really can trace all of political problems we see back to saint ronnie and it makes you see why they revere him so much…geez…

Jimmy Carter is what a real Christian looks like…
Well…with the news this afternoon that Jimmy Carter went home from the hospital and is entering hospice care today, I just wanted to do a short one about his life…now you know I am an atheist who doesn’t hate religion…I hate the things people do in the name of religion…but if you want to see what a real Christian looks like, just look at the life of President Carter…while in office he never attacked anyone, never said anything bad about anything, brokered peace in the Mideast and tried his best to guide the country but had the unfortunate luck of 14% inflation and a repub party who had begun the slide into lies and slander…and with Carter being an honorable person, he couldn’t use those tactics and lost the election to Reagan who put the country on the path to where we are now…after he left office he threw himself along with Rosalyn into doing good works around the world and made Habitat for Humanity the force that it is today….that is what I remember of christians from when I was young…they really did do good work and stayed out of politics and hate….I know that maybe a little bit of wearing rose colored glasses but the christians I knew weren’t nazis like many of them are now…so, maybe this would be a good time for some of those folks to reflect on their actions and re-discover the true meaning of the god they purport to follow…
What the hell is wrong with the NYT?
Well…after this week and reading about the attacks on trans people by the NYT, my question is “what the hell is wrong with the NYT?” All week, they have been trying to justify their support of JK Rowling who wrote the Harry Potter books and her well known transphobia…and it has gotten so bad that hundreds of well known people have written letters to the Times asking what the hell? Who is calling the shots at the times who supports attacking an already besieged minority? All across the country, repubs are passing laws actually trying to outlaw trans people’s just living…outlawing the medical care that they need to survive and why is the Times piling on to that bullshit? Look, this same playbook was used to attack gay and lesbian people in the 60’s and 70’s but no one remembers history anymore so they are doomed to repeat it…what benefit do these attacks have for the Times? They’re never going to get the right wing assholes to subscribe to the paper so why attack just like the asshole repubs? I just don’t get it…a once objective paper now seems populated by fox news wannabes who just want to spread their hate…it’s a long way for the Times to fall…geez…
Ohio, you deserve better…
Well with the huge environmental disaster caused by the train derailment in Ohio a week ago, Joe Biden has offered federal help to Ohio to help cope…and guess what the governor’s response was? This asshole DeWine wouldn’t take Joe’s call just because he’s a maga idiot who would love to poison his people to score political points and try to make himself look tough…so, people of Ohio, your governor doesn’t give a shit about you…and this poisoning of a quarter of Ohio is the largest environmental disaster in my lifetime…and I’m older than hell….and to top this off, the reason that train derailed is that the idiot trump and his business cronies who run the railroads got an Obama era regulation removed because it was going to cost the railroads to retrofit the train cars….so this completely avoidable tragedy was all the result of repub governance and it is just a little taste of what will continue to happen to you, Ohio, if you keep electing these asshole…geez…
Idiot boy should be worried…
Well…with the release of the special grand jury report from Georgia today…or I should say parts of it…the one thing that the pundits agree on is that idiot boy should be very worried…and not just him but some of the 75 witnesses who the GJ said “committed perjury” and recommended that indictments be issued…and this is just one investigation…there is another federal investigation that is heating up with Smith sending out subpoenas to some of the same people…among them is Mark Meadows who was on the line when idiot boy made the phone call asking the AG to “find” 12k votes to give him the state…so, as the days go by, the noose tightens around trump and his cronies but it needs to lead to indictments…after all, it’s been more than two years since these crimes were committed and if it would have been you or me, we would have been be sitting in jail a year ago…get after it, Fani…
Go get ’em, Joe…
Well…I like the new Joe Biden…just today he attacked the repubs attempts to crash the economy so they can force cuts to SS and Medicare by releasing a fact sheet that shows that repub plans would increase the debt by 3 trillion dollars while Joe’s plans would cut it by almost two trillion…and that shows that the repubs using the debt for anything is just so much bullshit and lies…and Joe was blunt in a speech yesterday when he pointed out that the first bill the repubs passed would add 114 billion to the debt to protect tax cheats…and the 159 billion they would add to the debt by repealing reforms to medicare drug pricing…and they want to repeal corporate tax increases would add 269 billion to the debt….you get the picture…the repubs are willing to crash the world’s economy for the lie that they care about the debt when the only thing they care about is getting rid of Medicare and SS as they have since the start of them…but they won’t…for that they will need complete control of the country and that is not going to happen soon…I love the fact that Joe is getting aggressive in pointing out the truth…he needs to keep it up…geez…
Some motion…
Well…you know how many times I have expressed my frustration that the idiot trump is still roaming around free when the evidence of his crimes is piled so high you can’t see over it…but, there seems to be some motion going on with special counsel Jack Smith and his investigation into the idiot trump’s stealing government documents…and it was just revealed that trump had ordered some of the top secret stuff digitized and it was found on the computer of an aide along with a thumb drive they found at the tacky golf club he calls home…and this digitization just make it easier for idiot boy to sell state secrets as I’m sure he and Kushner have already done…how else does the Saudi sovereign wealth fund give Kushner 2 billion dollars…is it thanks for giving MBS a list of his opponents so he could kill them and ascend to power? Whatever it is, I found it funny this weekend when ABC news asked one of the repub idiots running the investigations into Hunter Biden whey they haven’t investigated trump and kushner when the stench of corruption follows them around like a puppy…and this moron just sputtered and left…geez…
The Georgia grand jury report to be released today…
Well..it looks like the crap is about to hit the fan since a judge in Georgia ruled that parts of the GJ’s investigation can be released to the public…and I think Fani Willis gets the charging recomendations with this release so if I’m one of trump’s cronies that testified and had anything to do with trying to “find” 12,000 votes, I’d be making a run for it right now…I feel pretty confident that there will be charges from this investigation since the decision on indictments have been “imminent” for a couple of weeks and how can there not be when idiot boy is on tape committing the crime? Yeah, I know, we have all been predicting that the idiot is going to be charged for years now but I have hope that this is going to be the time it is going to happen…fingers crossed…
This is nuts…
Well…if you wanted to know how crazy the repubs have gotten in Missouri, just listen to this one…just yesterday they voted down and amendment to a bill in the repub controlled legislature that would have prevented children from open carrying firearms…so now I guess it’s legal there for toddlers to carry AR-15’s…can you imagine the carnage that would happen if you allow hormonal teenagers to carry around hand guns or semi automatic rifles? This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard…don’t they remember what it was like to be a teenager? The fights? Now let’s add a deadly weapon into that mix…red states really are become terrible places to live and I can see a mass exodus out of them as they continue to go down the crazy path….geez…
They do know there is video, right?
Well…yeah, I’m really late today with taking the day off to lie on the couch and watch movies…but I did want to talk about the stupidity of the repubs when it comes to video evidence of what they say…I mean they do know there is video, right? It started Tuesday when Biden called them out on their plans to eliminate SS and Medicare…and they all complained loudly that they never said they were going to do that…cue the video…so today, reporters kind of did their jobs and had the tape ready when the asked Mike Lee if he was going to cut those popular and vital programs and he again denied it…so they rolled the tape and the idiot just got pissed and walked away…I saw this happen a couple of times in my feed over at Mastodon and I can understand why they keep lying…after all, not one damn repub has been held accountable for their lies so they will just keep doing it unless the media elevates the truth and continues to confront them with it…and the rest of the dems need to “Biden up” and do the same…oh, and I’ll copyright “Biden Up” tm…I thought that one up right now…
