The repubs did this….

Well…I’m sure you’ve read by now that a maga asshole attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband with hammer in their home Friday, putting him in the hospital with a skull fracture and brain damage…and this criminal was looking to kill Nancy and was radicalized by the repubs incessant pushing of the big lie that trump won the election and that Nancy and the rest of the dems are pedophile groomers who eat children and that Nancy is the ringleader….and the repubs are so bad that not one of them said anything about this attack, nothing, not condolences, no condemnation for the attempted murder and even went on to attack Pelosi and her husband while he was in surgery with the possibility of dying. Now, this is exactly where the repubs knew this was going as they rile their crowd of troglodyte morons every damn day…this is what they want…they can’t convince anyone to vote for them on policy since they have none but tax cuts for the rich so they  cause crime and then blame it on the dems…and the moron voters eat it up even when most of these voters are old and on SS that they are going to take away…fear is the only thing they have and the problem is it works for them and has for decades…so don’t listen to them…the only crime that is up is caused by the repubs…and that is a fact…geez…

Let’s wave our stupidity like a flag…

Well…just when I think the repubs can’t get and dumber, they do shit like sit out all night “watching” ballot drop boxes for some damn reason…what the reason is, I don’t know…are they trying to stop people from shoveling millions of ballots into them? Do they think that sitting there in their cosplay camo with their guns is going to intimidate anyone from dropping off a ballot? God, these guys are dumb and have been spoon fed the stuffing drop boxes lie by fox news, Oan, and the other right wing lie sites that they exclusively listen to and now they are sitting out there in the middle of the night thinking they are “protecting the vote”…hey guys, I have a clue for you…do you remember stamps? You know those little things that you put on the corner of an envelope and that allows you to drop a letter, postcard, or even a ballot into the US mail…are you going to watch all of those, too…you are some dumb sons of a bitches…at least you’re not shooting up some school somewhere…and that’s a good thing…

Doctor shortages are coming to red states…

Well…with the Dobbs decision from the SC that killed Roe, the intended consequence is that all red states have passed laws or had them on the books that would ban abortion…and some of them have already passed laws banning teaching doctors how to perform them…and that has had the unintended consequence of setting up a conflict with the organizations that set what doctors need to be trained in to be able to have an MD…meaning that doctors trained in red states will only be able to practice in red states, and that is causing an exodus of top MD candidates out of the red states…but it is not only limited to those choosing OB/GYN as their speciality but a recent poll shows that almost 70% of those heading into med school, no matter what they are specializing in won’t learn or practice in a red state that bans abortion….and what that means is that there is a massive doctor shortage coming to red states since most doctors want be able to live and work anywhere they want and that means they need to be accredited to do that. With their religious zealotry, the repubs are setting their citizens up for substandard care if they can get any care at all…but I’m sure they don’t care…after all, if they did they wouldn’t have taken rights away from more than 50% of the population in their states…and this goes along with the closures of hundreds of hospitals in red states that are closing since they refused the money that comes with Medicaid expansion that would have saved them….so I guess it doesn’t matter that they won’t have any doctors…they won’t have any hospitals to work in anyway….just frickin brilliant, repubs….

This is how you tell…

Well…with the explosion of political ads running up to the election on the 8th, I really need to give you a little primer on how to decipher them and make them easier to understand…it’s very simple…if the ad is attacking a dem, it’s a lie…and if the ad is supporting a repub, it’s also a lie..see, that’s how easy it is….so don’t be confused or let some repub lie filled advertising sway your vote…you know one true thing, and that is the dems work for the people to make their lives better and deal with society’s problems while the repubs only work to make people’s lives worse as they give the country away to their big donors and take rights away from everyone but their base…and you can take them at their word for that…they’ve already taken the rights to privacy away from women and they are now going to gut SS and Medicare to give tax cuts to the rich..those are facts that no amount of lies in advertising is going to change…so tune out the ads and vote with that one truth in your mind…the dems will make things better, and the repubs will make things worse…that’s all you need to know….geez…

Any PA friends out there?

Well…have some time on my hands this morning with the temp dropping to 30 outside right now and that is way too damn cold to go out and work on the leaves…so I thought I’d come here to talk to my PA friends about the senate race there…the other night, there was the one and only debate between the carpetbagger Oz, and John Fetterman and if you listen to the modern media, the only story coming out of it was that Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke just a month or so ago is not able to do the job as senator since he has symptoms of the stroke still and at times haltingly speaks and takes time to formulate answers…now, is the media trying to do the repubs work for them? I would focus on the policy that each candidate has put forward, and on that it was shown that Oz is just another repub who wants to take rights away from women in PA and showed it with this comment from the debate…when asked if women’s healthcare choices should be only between her and her doctor, Oz responded that the choice should be “between the woman, her doctor, and local government officials” yeah, you heard that right…for the most intimate medical decisions that a woman can make, Oz wants her to have to go to “local government officials” to get approval to save her life if there is a problem with a pregnancy or even if there’s not….now, PA men, how would you like it if you had to go to “local government officials” to get approval for a colonoscopy that could save your life? Or get approval from these same officials if you want to get a vasectomy or be treated for an STI? Do you have to bring one of these officials with you to your doctor’s appointment? Yeah, I know I’m using a little hyperbole but there is only one person in this race that will protect the privacy of all Americans and that is John Fetterman….and he will help to restore the rights of over half of this country to what they were under Roe…and Oz won’t…it’s that clear…vote Fetterman for a better US….geez….

Remember this before you vote…

Well…with the repubs screaming their heads off about gas prices and inflation and trying to pin it all on the dems, you just have to remember this before you vote…they were given the chance to attack the main cause of inflation, price gouging by corporations, especially oil companies whose profit are up by almost 100% over the past year, and every damn one of them voted against doing anything about it…this shows they don’t care at all about any of this…the only thing they want to use the inflation that is hurting their constituents for is to attack the dems. Have your heard any policy plan they have to deal with inflation? Nope, didn’t think so because they don’t care about it…just like they don’t care about doing anything for the people…they just want power to reward their big donors with another tax cut…and these same donors are pouring hundreds of million of their money into these races to elect more repubs…and there is something wrong when a rich guy can give 30 million to elect repubs and get a 250 million dollar tax cut…I think it’s become the new investment for most of these folks…buy a legislative seat, get money back…and that has got to end….and the only way that will happen is to elect more dems…so vote..and not for repubs…geez…

I’ll bet Putin didn’t see this coming…

Well…yeah, I’m running late this afternoon getting to this one…had lunch with T that turned into a laugh fest and lots of fun an just got home a bit ago…after reading an article about natural gas supplies in Europe and that the price is crashing, all I can say is I’ll bet Putin didn’t see this coming. Since the start of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, he has used the threat of cutting off natural gas to try to keep Europe and the rest of the world from supporting Ukraine…saying it was going to be  “dark, cold winter” for them this year…but then, something happened and natural gas storage in the EU is at almost 94% filled which would keep the area going right through the winter even if they never got another btu…and you have to remember that Germany used to get 60% of it’s gas from Russia before the invasion happened and now it is at zero…what happened is they turned to other sources like the US and have built new LNG terminals across Europe to be able to handle the ships hauling it…and, unlike the US, the EU is undergoing a crash program for increasing renewable energy like solar and wind and even the weather is cooperating with warmer than normal temps so far this fall and winter….so now that leaves ole putie selling his gas to India and China at a 50% discount and Russia will be even more broke than it is…and all the blame is on the moron who launched this invasion…I wonder when the generals and oligarchs will get tired of this crap and say bye, bye to ole putie? It can’t come too soon…geez…

All you have to do is look…

Well…if you want to see what the proposed repub plan for the economy will do, all you have to look at Britain and the fallout from the exact same proposals that the Tories have planned for their economy…and it’s the same old bullshit…trickle down economics where tax cuts are given to the rich and they then are the engine of growth that will trickle down to the workers…and the only problem with that is has never worked anywhere in the world…and cuts to the social safety net are part of the deal since since they “can’t afford” them anymore…exactly the same thing that the repubs are saying here as they propose even bigger tax cuts for the rich that did nothing but make income inequality worse here in the US…not one damn job was created from the 2 trillion dollar giveaway that came from the trump tax cuts…other than lawyers who worked on stock buyback plans that made the rich richer and made the rest of us pay more in taxes….and let’s be blunt, we all paid for SS and Medicare our entire lives and they are not an “entitlement”…it’s something we bought with 7.5% of our income paid in from the time we got our first paycheck and all we have to do to protect it is to get the hell out and vote for the dems who will protect and expand these programs so those of us who depend on it can continue to eat and pay our bills, it’s that simple…the repubs want to kill all of us on SS so they can steal that money and give it to the rich..and voting for any repub is going to make that happen…get out and vote…and only for dems…geez…

Poor little Lindsey….

Well…if you’re like me, you feel that the wheels of justice are turning way too slowly in holding the idiot trump and his cronies responsible for trying to overturn the 2020 election….but just yesterday, there was some movement when an appeals court ruled that Lindsey Graham has to testify to the grand jury concerning his role in trying to throw out predominately black votes in Georgia…ole Lindsey was trying to use some arcane law that says that reps can’t be questioned in regard to their legislative actions to get a get out of jail free card for anything he does…but calling on the SoS of Georgia to throw out votes is not part of his job and was not done during a legislative session so the appeals court ruled unanimously that his claims were bullshit and told him he has to testify…and now that sets ole Lindsey up for one of two outcomes…either he will testify truthfully under oath which will show that he broke Georgia’s laws against election tampering, or he will take the fifth, essentially admitting that he is guilty of multiple felonies…finally, I hope these maga assholes get what they deserve…at least out of the government but they should go to jail for this attack on democracy in service of the idiot trump…do trump next…geez…

Are all of them working for the Russians?

Well…if you needed another reason to not ever vote for another repub, one popped up in the news today…as you’ve probably heard, all of the repubs have been spouting off that they will end aid to the Ukrainians if they take control of congress…and that makes me wonder, are all of them working for the Russians? What is it about Ukraine and it’s people’s struggle for freedom that is so repugnant to the repubs? Starting with the idiot trump’s attempted extortion of them that got him impeached the first time and continuing to today, the repubs have been hating on Ukraine for years and the reason could be as simple as they just love them some putin and are trying to repay him for handing the election to idiot boy and are looking for more help to make sure that a dem never gets elected again….or they could just be selfish assholes who just want the power to hurt people they hate since they show that behavior here in the US every day. As a preview of what the world can expect if repubs get elected, reps of Ukraine met with repub members of congress last week and ole mccarthy assured them that they could count on the US’s continued support…then he went to the press and told the truth when he said that they would end aid to Ukraine if they are in control…it’s taken two years of Biden for the world to trust us again, and you can be sure that the repubs will blow that up if they are in control again…so, people, get out and vote…and not for any damn repub….geez…
