Well…just got back from getting two teeth pulled and thought I’d do one of these with probably the only bit of good news about the election…the voters of Michigan…man, you gotta love them as they turned out in force for dems and turned control of the entire government over to the dems for the first time in 40 years…yep the entire damn government here is no longer going to be run by the election denier maga repubs who lost here big time…and that is due to the fair redistricting that was enshrined in the constitution by a vote of the people in 2020 so the repubs can no longer cheat…but the repubs did win the house so we are in for nothing but bullshit for the next two years…now, the dems still have control for two months so we can still get a few things done…still not going to read much news for a while yet unless trump gets indicted…and I need that to happen right now…

Can we hope?
Well…yeah, I’m running late today since I pampered myself and sat here for hours reading one of the books I bought at the used book sale a couple of weeks ago…and I even only did one ride today since I was going into almost 20mph winds all the way out to the beach and I know that is going to hurt later…but I did have a thought that I just remembered after I finished the book…I read somewhere that the justice department was waiting until after the election to make any indictments in the many, many investigations that are going on with the idiot trump..so, can we hope that Wednesday could be that day? There is something going on since idiot boy went off three times in the past day or so, accusing every president before him of committing the same felonies he committed when he stole the thousands of pages of documents they found in his tacky Florida resort. So, maybe it is something to hope for if we lose the elections tomorrow…I know Michigan will be fine since dems are ahead in the three top office races and in the three proposals that would enshrine voting rights, abortion rights, and term limits in the state constitution….but the idiots who are bitching about inflation as the most important topic are going to vote for repubs even though most of it is caused by greedy corporations stealing from the people…so they will get more of that if they elect repubs…and they will deserve it…I just hope I win the 2 billion dollars tonight so I can pick up and leave this country for good…geez…
Doom and gloom…
Well…I really think I need to sell this house and move out of the US…with the almost certain repub takeover of the house, I can’t overstate it enough…our democracy is on the ballot and it looks like they are going to win…unless we get bailed out by women and the youngsters again…but how long can we pin the hopes of the whole country on turnout of those two groups? I just don’t understand how the election can be this close when the repubs have nothing, no policies or any plan to govern other than to investigate everyone in the Biden administration and impeach everyone all the way down to the floor sweeper…and why would any independent vote for that? But they are just because turkeys are more expensive this year…and it takes a few bucks more to fill up the car…I just want to stand on my roof with a bullhorn and shout that voting for any repub is a vote to kill our democracy…and that is not hyperbole…it is reality that will happen if they get control…so please, please dems and independents…get out to vote and vote for democracy, not for repubs….geez…
Poor Elon…
Well…I really don’t know why the cult has grown up around ole elon…I mean how hard is it to get rich when you start out with over 400 million dollars from daddy’s emerald mine where he made his money paying slave wages in the apartheid South Africa? And now, it looks like his not too brilliant move of buying twitter is going south in a hurry…especially when it looks like he paid about ten times what the company is worth and twitter has never made a profit…so how smart is it to take on 44 billion in debt when there is no profit to pay it back? Ole elon’s moves since he bought the company are head scratching at best…I mean firing half of the people who built it and are the ones who know how it runs and allowing the haters and trolls free reign so that hate speech, antisemitism, and maga bullshit has flooded it to the extent that most of the major advertisers have run for the hills…how does that make it more profitable? In a normal takeover, there are assets that the company taking over another can sell and strip all the money out of pension funds, etc. and then run away with everything that is worth anything…but what is there in twitter that is worth anything? No buildings, no factories, no stores, no inventory…the only thing that has any value is the goodwill of the users that is rapidly being killed as elon shows everyone he is just another petty little maga asshole and most thinking people don’t want to have anything to do with him….I really don’t think he’s playing 11 dimension chess on this one….just another rich guy thinking he knows more than anyone else….geez…
A bit of a rant…
Well…have been looking for a topic for a bit that I’ve made harder by doing the news blackout…and I haven’t had any luck so I guess I’ll go on a little rant instead…so, how the hell can people be so stupid? The damn repubs have been telling everyone they are going to destroy SS and Medicare right out in the open and yet the polls say that people in my age group, retirees, are going to overwhelmingly vote for the repubs just because they have to spend a few more dollars on groceries and gas….so let me get this straight, they are willing to vote for repubs since they have been lied into believing inflation is the dems fault, and that means they are voting to destroy the one program that is keeping most of them alive since they think the repubs will do something about inflation and save them 100 bucks a month? As I said, just frickin stupid to give up the average of 1700 bucks a month to save a hundred…where the hell is that 1700 bucks going to come from every month now? After Roe was overturned by the repubs after they had been trying to do it for 50 years, why don’t the old folks believe that they are going to destroy SS when they have been trying to do that sine the 1930’s? Don’t they understand that they will be going back to work until they die? Retirement as they know it is on the ballot in this election and they are throwing it away by voting for repubs…and I still can’t believe how stupid these folks are…geez…
The proposals are looking good…
Well…with the polls on candidates being manipulated by the right wing assholes loaded with money, I was thinking the same thing was going to happen here in Michigan with the three proposals to add voting rights, abortion rights, and term limits to the Michigan constitution…but luckily, they are all looking good with from 60 to 70 % support in the latest polls and all of the opposition being from repubs, of course. So, that is something to be happy about amid all of the bad news…it is getting so bad out there that I am going into a news blackout until after the election next Tuesday…I just can’t let the bad news pollute me and make me feel bad…just won’t do it…so you may not get so many political ones for the next few days since I normally get my topics from the news….
A new way for the repubs to cheat…
Well…you know, if the repubs would make as much effort putting together policies that help people as they do figuring out new ways to cheat in elections, they may just be more successful then they are. Just the other day, I read an article that exposed the newest way for them to cheat…by flooding the country with biased polls like the one from Rasmussen that always favors repubs, they are trying to discourage our side from voting since these polls make it appear the the outcome is a foregone conclusion with the repubs winning…and with the hundreds of roadblocks that the repubs have thrown up against voters on our side…it makes it easier for our folks to justify not voting if it looks like the votes won’t matter. Damn, I am sick and tired of these assholes trying to ruin this country and stealing elections…but we all know why they do it…without cheating, the repubs would never win another election since they have no policies that anyone wants….but I am also confused why dems won’t come out to vote since the dems do…okey dem voters and independents…get off your asses and vote like your life depends on it…in my case, it does since the repubs want to destroy the very Medicare that is going to pay for the treatment I’m going to need to survive…and you could be next…geez…
Poor Lindsey…
Well…finally, the SC today told Lindsey Graham that he has to testify to the grand jury that is investigating the attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia…and it wasn’t just the idiot trump doing it..ole lindsey called the SoS there, too, and asked if they could “look at” certain absentee ballots that are detrimental to trump’s election…and those certain ballots were all from a minority area of Georgia where it was almost a certainty that the majority of votes there were for Biden…so poor lindsey…you’re going to have to pay for your un-American bullshit and the sooner you and the rest of the maga assholes are gone the better…geez…
57 Russian bots…
Well…when ole elon said that nothing would change on twitter after he took over, he was either stupid or lying…since he took over last Friday, I’ve had 57 Russian bots follow me when I had a total of about 8 followers who were real people before…and there is really no reason for anyone to follow me on twitter, I don’t post there very often and when I do, it something about music or riding the bike or some such nonsense that it would not interest anyone but me…but now I have over 60 followers and the funny think is the pictures they have attached to the accounts are all good looking women…kind of a clue to the fact that they are Russian bots. So, again ole elon is doing Russia’s work for it by cutting the content moderation and the bot detectors back to the point that most of twitter is going to be bots, not anyone you want to hear from…and that will mean that Russian disinformation and lies about our elections is going to explode over the next week…basically making twitter useless…good job elon…geez…
It’s bullshit, twitter has changed…
Well…you know, I had to laugh when ole elon tried and tried to convince people that twitter wouldn’t change when he took it over…but it has already…I used to get a lot of topics for my political stuff from the news feed I had set up on there but as soon as elon took over, my entire feed disappeared…every person I followed, every news site I read was gone and I’ve spent the past couple of days trying to recreate it but it’s not the same…there used to be surprises every day from random websites that ended up in my feed, but that doesn’t happen after elon…it used to be surprising when their algorithm saw what I was interested in and found other sites that fit right in…like music users that would end up reminding me of music that I had forgotten so I could go find it again and listen to it…and the right wing bullshit and lies that are now allowed on the site when moderators used to kill that crap is inching me ever closer to just saying the hell with it and deleting my username and trying to find somewhere else to get my news and a few smiles every day…and a lot of the lies are from elon himself since he is a maga asshole who just loves trump…if there was ever a good reason to tax the shit out these billionaires, this is it…they are being allowed to ruin this country and steal everything that is not nailed down…if there is anyone out there who enjoys alternatives to twitter, please let me know…I’ve had enough…
