Well…with the debt ceiling being held hostage by the moron repubs in the House, Joe Biden came out yesterday and essentially say that any of the cuts that mccarthy wants as ransom for not crashing the world economy are not going to happen…and the polls support what Joe and the dems have to say…and that’s the US shouldn’t default on it’s debt…to the tune of 70% of the people polled…and mccarthy has to remember the last time the repubs got us so close to default that our credit rating was crashed for the first time in our history…and the repubs lost in a bloodbath in the next election…but the stupid bomb throwers in the repub caucus just don’t care…unless everything that Joe has done is reversed, they will crash the economy…I think that every one of the dems that get in front of a microphone have to do is hammer the point home that it is the repubs who are holding the world hostage and they will be the ones responsible if there is a default…we need to get better at messaging and make sure the blame fall squarely on mccarthy’s head….geez…

They really don’t want the voice of the people heard…
Well…with the repubs on the losing end of many popular citizens initiatives like the ones in Michigan that took away gerrymandering from them and enshrined a woman’s right to control her own body along with protecting LGBTQ rights here, in other states they see this as the danger that it is too them…and what is their response? Not to bow to the will of the people and allow the majority to get what they support, nope their newest attacks on democracy is to take away the rights of the people to even be heard by citizen initiative in red states that they control to ensure minority control of their states. In Ohio, where abortion rights have 60% support of the public, and the constitution give people the right to put changes on the ballot, they are trying to change the constitution to make it almost impossible for supporters of abortion rights or opponents of gerrymandering to get those popular things on the ballot and then in the constitution….as I’ve said many times before, the only way the repubs can win is to cheat…that’s how they controlled the government here in Michigan for 40 years…by cheating until the people said enough and got rid of the gerrymandering that made us one of the worst state in the US…and now they want to do the same thing to Ohio…and it’s nothing but cheat all the time for them…since they have no ideas that anyone wants anymore…let’s get rid of them…and right now…geez…
Dominion settled…
Well…cripes jury selection just started yesterday and fox news decided to settle the lawsuit Dominion filed against them for 787 million dollars…and I will be the first to say I’m pretty damn disappointed that dominion didn’t inflict more damage on fox and drag their dirty laundry of lies out into the open….and force rupert murdoch, his son , and the on air liars to testify in court that they knew they were lying and didn’t care…and while 787 million dollars seems like a lot of money, the murdochs won’t pay a penny of it…all of you who have cable or satellite tv are going to be the ones who pay since you pay for fox now even if you don’t watch it…they will just raise the fees that all of the carriers pay them and probably end up making a profit off settling the suit…one silver lining in the whole thing is that the head of Dominion said they were just getting started and there would be more suits…and I’m hoping that individual suits will be fired against tucker and the rest of the on air liars…and remember that Smartmatic still has a 2.6 billion dollar suit that an appeals court has said can go forward so we still have that one to look forward to….geez…
The fox news trial is on…
Well…there was a lot of consternation by commenters and the news media that the Dominion/fox news suit was going to be settled before trial but jury selection has started today so I guess those talks are off…I wanted to see the suit go to trial for selfish reasons…that a trial will do much more damage that any settlement since settlements can be kept secret and we might have never known what happened and fox would be able to continue to lie about it…and I know why there was concern in the media about a settlement…since that would take away an easy story for them that will stay in the news now probably for months as the trial goes on…with the earlier summary judgement earlier that Dominion’s evidence gotten in discovery already proved fox’s liability, the only thing that Dominion needs to prove now is what’s called “actual malice” that fox new they were lying and kept it up anyway…and that may be a little difficult but is certainly doable….can’t wait to read more about the trial…and remember that this is just the first suit…Smartmatic has another, bigger one in the pipeline and if fox loses the Dominion suit, it will be in a world of hurt for the second one….geez…
Cut, cut, cut…
Well…as we approach the chaos that will be defaulting on the debts of the US by the repub led House, there is no plan by the somewhat speaker to do anything about it but to propose cuts to everything…and the place he wants to cut the most is to food assistance for the poor that will throw 41 million Americans to the wolves…but he is also trying to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and SS just to make the cuts hurt the most people…and the thing I don’t understand is why poor old white people keep voting for repubs when they constantly try to hurt or even starve them to death. As they start to realize that the repubs are really going to crash the world economy so they can get rid of every social program, economists are starting to run around with their hair on fire and have started to pressure repubs to not be stupid…but when you have repubs like MTG in the House, they can only be stupid because they are stupid….even senate repubs have stated they won’t support the plan that mccarthy has floated so why the hell is he still trying and trying to get support for it…cripes, I don’t even think he can get enough votes in the house but he is just too damn dense to realize it…this is the problem when you put morons in charge of the House…geez…
The party of freedom?
Well…you would think that at least one repub would have a bout of clarity about their hypocrisy touting that they are the party of “freedom”…freedom for who? Surely not for young people trying to learn the true history of this country….surely not for half of the country who are women and are having their rights taken away by the repubs ever damn day…certainly not the Florida lawmaker who gave her phone number out on the House floor and told women and girls to call her so she can help them with abortion care and the evil desantis had her arrested…certainly not our friends in the LGBTQ community who are fleeing red states to keep from being attacked an murdered just for being who they are…and certainly not the young athletes who now have to have their genitals “inspected” before they can participate in sports in Idaho….this sure as hell is not “freedom” and it is clear by comparison to blue states that it is the repubs in red states doing all of this….taking away people’s rights and exposing them to hate is not freedom for them…I guess it is freedom for the repub haters who are passing all these fascist laws…geez…
Where are you repubs?
Well…since on of the many right wing assholes has been charged with revealing classified information on the internet, two questions come to mind…if this guy can be charged in a couple of days for stealing classified documents, why the hell has it been two years and no charges for the idiot trump? After all, he stole a hundred times more documents and it now being reported that he showed some of them to people on his plane and that is another felony that he needs to be charged with…the second question is why haven’t any of the repub leadership condemned this asshole’s actions? Not one of them have made a peep…hmmm…I wonder why? Could it be that this is their racist base that they need to win elections? And they are scared to say anything about this white, anti Jew, racist ass because they truly believe the same things as he does…this is just another page in the repub parties new playbook and they love the hate spewers and live vicariously through them…geez…
It gets worse with Thomas…
Well…if it wasn’t enough that Clarence Thomas took 500K worth vacations (bribes) from a billionaire donor, today it was revealed that he broke the law by selling some real estate to that same billionaire and not disclosing it…and the disclosure is covered by statute so there is no getting around that Thomas is a criminal and has broken the law…but this is just they typical repub bullshit…they don’t think the law applies to them at all and they can do whatever they want…after all the gifts and free vacations have been going on for over 20 years and have been widely reported on…and John Roberts does nothing about it so why wouldn’t Thomas think he’s above the law? You can bet your ass the if you or I broke this law, we’d be sitting in the slammer…and it wouldn’t take 20 years to do anything about it…geez…
The delusion runs deep in the idiot boy…
Well…just wanted to do a short one on the deepening delusion of the idiot boy that was revealed in and interview with tucker the other night…when he was arrested and arraigned last week, the idiot trump to tucker there were people all over the place crying and apologizing for processing him…and he emphasized that is was “grown men” who were crying…and I wonder why anytime anyone is around idiot boy, they start crying…now, I would understand laughing since he is just so frickin ridiculous a person, but crying? Yeah I guess I can imagine that once the person realizes what a chump he was for supporting the orange cancer…it would be a human reaction…oh, right…these folks are not human and show it every day…geez…
This would be funny if it wasn’t sick…
Well…with the obvious corruption of Clarence Thomas back in the news and the call of the dems to Roberts to do a quick and in depth investigation of all of it, it is just so funny they are asking Roberts to do something he has already ignored at least once…the dems who wrote the new letter start out with saying “11 years ago” when they asked Roberts to investigate the last time and he did nothing but enable Thomas to continue his ethical lapses by never recusing himself from cases that had to do with his wife or companies he has investment in…I wonder what it will take to get Roberts of his butt? For someone who is supposed to be concerned with his “legacy”, Roberts has presided over the most corrupt court in the nation’s history and won’t do his job as chief justice to enforce even the smallest ethics guidelines…and he sat on his hands as the repubs put liar after liar on the court when he could have at least kept Kavanaugh off it…but no, he was complicit in the courts slide into illegitimacy where only 20% of Americans trust the court anymore because he did nothing to stop it…and it the dem senators who wrote him this new letter thinking he’s going to act differently, they are either stupid or part of the problem…we need a Judicial Committee investigation, and we need it right now…geez..
