Well…I know I talk about polls a lot here and sometimes they are accurate and sometimes they aren’t, depending on the structure of the poll and the selection of the sample to poll…but, just the other day, one came out that I just don’t understand…in that poll, almost 70% of the Americans polled thought that our democracy is in danger but that same poll said that most people aren’t basing their votes on that…with inflation and the economy still coming out on top…and I have one thing to say to these people: if we you vote for repubs and we lose our democracy in three weeks, inflation and the economy are going to be the least of your problems…as the repubs are now saying openly, if they take back the house, they are going to hold the world hostage by defaulting on our debts unless they get enormous cuts to Social Security and Medicare along with Medicaid…and they are not stopping there…they are coming for the affordable care act that has helped over 20 million Americans afford health insurance and all of the good things that come from the inflation reduction act like 35 dollar a month insulin for seniors will be gone and they will try to pass a nationwide abortion ban that will take women’s control of their own bodies away from even the states like Michigan who have a constitutional amendment protecting women on the ballot in November….I just don’t understand how this is not a hair on fire moment for ever damn person in this country….do you think the repubs will do anything about inflation? Or the economy that they have crashed every damn time they’ve been in control? Not a frickin chance since they will be too busy investigating their enemies and impeaching Biden to do anything for normal Americans…so get your head out of your asses voters…inflation is not the most important thing on the ballot…especially since more than half of it is just price gouging by big corporations…and do you really think that the repubs will do anything about that? Nope…geez…

What a damn crook…
Well…we all know how big of a crook the idiot trump is stealing anything that wasn’t nailed down when he was squatting in the WH, but just the other day his corruption hit another low when it was reported that idiot boy charged the secret service 5 times what a room normally goes for when they stayed at his tacky resorts…upward of 1200 dollars a night for at least 10 SS agents…and this cash went straight into his pocket and is the reason he never stayed anywhere but his own properties…so 12,000 bucks a night to protect this asshole when he’s not worth 2 cents…and it was estimated that he took yours and my tax money to the tune of over 2 million bucks and I can’t believe the SS went along with it…okay, with the revelations that the SS is full of trumpers, I guess I can believe it…and now I wonder who in the SS got kickbacks for approving this illegal expenditure? The question I have is: was the SS this corrupt before trump or did he just infect the entire government with his amorality? As this crap is uncovered, I want someone to be held responsible…the corrosive effect of idiot boy getting away with this and everything else he did is just sickening…and to have an entire political party not just approving of this corruption but participating in it at ever turn depresses the hell out of me…geez…
Are all old people stupid?
Well….after reading a poll that showed that 60% of people 65 and older are planning to vote for repubs in three weeks, the only thing I have to say is: are you stupid? What the hell is wrong with you people? Look, I know that most of us depend on Social Security to pay our bills and to stay alive, so why the hell are you voting for people who are going to take that away along with your Medicare? It makes no damn sense that this threat from the repubs that have been talking about doing for months is not even in the top ten things that people are concerned about according to this same poll…old folks are more concerned about inflation and gas prices than losing their SS that they paid for their whole lives…when the repubs take that away, you won’t have to worry about gas prices since you won’t be able to afford any of it…you will all be starving to death but I guess that is less important to you than Joe Biden…something, something socialism. I guess I’ll be going back to work at 70 and be working until I die….thank the repubs for that you old morons…geez…
Dumber than a box of rocks…
Well…just wanted to do a shorty about the Georgia senatorial debate last night and the fact that Herschel Walker proved to everybody that he’s dumber than a box of rocks…it started off with him pulling out his wallet with his fake sheriffs badge on it to make some sort of a point that I don’t think anyone has figured out yet…and then he went on to bitch about the dems trying to lower the cost of insulin saying that you don’t need it…all you have to do is eat better and lose weight and it will cure itself…I guess ole Herschel doesn’t know there are two kinds of diabetes and people who have type one need insulin to stay alive and no lifestyle change will make their pancreas start producing it…he really thought this was a “gotcha” answer but it just made him look like the ignorant fool he is…and his final bit of nonsense that shows he really doesn’t know anything is when he responded that the government shouldn’t have anything to do with healthcare, making the comment that people should just have the same healthcare as senator Warnock does…is anyone going to tell him that the senator has government healthcare? I really didn’t watch this debate since I find these stupid, ignorant maga assholes not worthy of my time…oh, and one last thing…ole Herschel tried to say that he knew more about the bible and is “more religious” that the senator Reverend Ralph Warnock who is the pastor of the same church that Martin Luther King called his home…geez, this guy is just dumb…
Elon Musk is a terrible person…
Well…it it wasn’t already bad enough that ole Elon has gone full maga and joined the rest of the Putin worshipers in the repub party, this week he showed just how terrible of a person he is…after his conversation Putin earlier in the week, ole Elon started pushing the Russian line that Ukraine should “negotiate” with Russia and let them keep all of their occupied territory…and that was bad enough but his latest support of Putins terrorism by threatening to shut off his starlink internet satellites that Ukraine depends on for communication since Putin shut down internet service to Ukraine at the start of the invasion is even worse…and he says it’s just that he doesn’t want to pay for it anymore…which he hasn’t since the US government paid for it up until now…and the cost of his starlink system is going to be there even if he cuts Ukraine off since he already launched the satellites and put they system together….so what is the reason he is threatening Ukraine now? Could it be that this subject came up in his little “talk” with Putin? No matter what the reason is, it IS a reason why to tax these asshole billionaires so they can’t affect the US’s foreign policy just because they are rich….I know I’ve called for a lot of boycotts since I started this site but can you think of a better person to make less rich that ole Elon? Yeah, with this crap, I didn’t think so…I’ve even taken to not watching any of the Space x launches anymore…and I sure wouldn’t ever buy a Tesla with how crappy their quality is….and my carbon footprint from my Miata is as low as a ICE car can go with driving less than 30 miles a week so it wouldn’t help the Earth anyway….Boycott everything Elon…
Chris Wray needs to be fired…
Well…after watching the Jan 6th hearings yesterday and with the revelations that the FBI and Secret Service knew that the attack was going to happen over 10 days before January 6th and did nothing, the head of the FBI, Chris Wray, needs to be fired and now. Did you see any FBI agents protecting the capitol that day? Nope, neither did I and knowing what they knew, both should have at least mustered a small force to help the local police defend the capitol…and that makes you ask the question, why? Is Wray just incompetent or was he in on it? It is well known that various offices of the FBI are hotbeds of trumpism and Wray was appointed by the idiot trump…and many officers of the Secret Service are hardcore trumpers and a few of them even palled around with the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and one of them was even on trump’s staff before he went back to his job at the SS..this guy Ornato, should be fired today, too, since his support for trump trying to overthrow the government was clear to anyone with eyes…and that should go for any trumper still in either of these organization…even if they weren’t personally involved, their support and donations implicitly helped trump do what he did so they are all responsible…and that’s not a political purge that I’m calling for at all…it is a reckoning for the people who enabled trump to even try to destroy this country and are still supporting him even when they know what he did…the poison tree needs to be torn out by the root for this country to survive….geez…
A bad week for the idiot trump…
Well…with what has happened this week to the idiot trump, he really should just have a huge L tattooed onto his forehead to show everyone what a loser he is….at the end of the January 6th hearing today, the committee voted unanimously to subpoena trump for his testimony in front of the committee…not that it’s going to happen but it may spur the justice department to bring the charges of seditious conspiracy against him that they have laid out clear as a bell…and today’s hearing tied everything together and showed that it was one person, trump, who was behind the whole thing and made a good case for prosecuting him…right after that, the SC slapped his delaying appeal down, again 9-0 of the appeals court ruling that said the investigation of him in the mar a lago stolen documents can go forward and even his pet justices voted against him…and I just know the walls of his tacky club is covered with ketchup and other food this afternoon…earlier in the week, a judge in NY ruled that idiot boy had to sit for a deposition in the defamation case he is subject to there…and, since it’s a civil case, I don’t think he can take the fifth to avoid testifying…so that will be fun to see since he just can’t tell the truth…and the last one has to do with the civil suit brought by NY’s AG Letitia James that alleges that the entire trump organization is based on real estate fraud….and just today, she filed another suit saying that the idiot is still trying to defraud NY by forming a new company that he is planning to transfer all of the assets of the trump organization to and avoid paying any fines since there will be no assets left for them to go after….I see that as another opportunity for a criminal case that should be filed and filed soon….so, not a good week for the idiot boy and I am having a hard time stifling a smile…he has to be just stewing with all this going on…he is going to go to jail at some point…indictments are coming….geez…
Alex Jones is toast…
Well…sometimes justice is served…just a few minutes ago,the verdict came down in the trial of Alex Jones, the owner of inforwars who spent the past 10 years lying about the massacre at Sandy Hook where 20 children and 6 adults were killed by an idiot who just wanted to be famous….and in that 10 years he hammered on his internet program that the massacre was a hoax and that the kids murdered didn’t exist and were played by “crisis actors”…and he made millions upon millions of dollars from his orc followers from his lies…and he also spurred many of them to threaten the families with death and constantly harass them..to the point that many of these grieving families had to move multiple times to try to escape from the non-stop threats that Jones asked for every day…so today, some small amount of justice came for the families when the jury awarded them and an FBI agent who responded to the massacre 965 million dollars in damages which should put this asshole out of business…but now, the feds need to go after Jones since it has been clear since the first suit against him and the first award of 49.5 million dollars that he has been trying to hide all of his assets in shell companies and then plead poverty to the courts to get out of paying anything to these people who he terrorized. I really wish the judge would seize everything he has today or he will be back on the air riling up his followers again that will lead to more violence…and more fundraising from his orc followers…that has to stop…
Got my ballot filled out….
Well…with all of the attacks that the repubs have made on voting rights across the country, I have to remind people here in Michigan that they haven’t taken away the one thing that makes voting so easy there is no excuse for skipping any election…permanent absentee ballots…here in Michigan you can still get put on the permanent absentee ballot list for any reason or no reason…all you have to do is apply for one at the Michigan SoS or your local city or country clerk and then every ballot will show up at your door at least a couple of weeks before the election…and then all you have to do is mail it back or drop it off at the clerks office….here in Muskegon, they have a drop box in front of the cop shop that you can save money on postage if you want…that’s what I normally do since the box is only about 4 blocks from here and I can ride my bike there…and I already have my ballot filled out and I will drop it off as soon as the weather permits…probably later in the week…all you have to do is make sure it is mailed before 8pm on election day but to make sure it’s counted, a week before is a good idea…and there is no standing in line, no finding your precinct, and no driving there…I do miss the camraderie that came from actually visiting the polling place but, as I get older, I find that convenience trumps that…so there is no excuse to not vote anymore…and,if you’re reading this, you probably have a progressive leaning and we need all the votes we can get and this election is the first one using the new non-partisan district lines drawn by the independent commission that could even out control of the state if we just get the hell out and vote…and remember, voting rights and women’s rights along with financial disclosure rules are on the ballot, too, so get out and vote and take that attack by the repubs away from them….and make the repubs say which billionaires are trying to steal the election from this one forward…lots of reasons to vote and make Michigan a better state….
Big news no one is talking about…
Well…read an article yesterday that seems to me to be a pretty big deal but no one is talking about it…just the other day, the Biden administration put new restrictions on chip sales to China, restricting those for AI and high performance computing and the machinery to make these chips…curbs to the machinery necessary to make logic and memory chips and restrictions on US people supporting the development or manufacture of those chips…and bans exports of American designs to China and and stops them from buying tech…and the reason is the well known tactic that China uses to steal US technology and then use that tech to try to monopolize chip production by undercutting prices of other manufacturers and tryin to put them out of business so you have to go to China…and the folly of depending on China is exactly what happened during the pandemic….shortages of chips and huge negative effects on the US economy. It appears to me that this is all part of insulating the US economy from supply chain problems by not relying on China for chips necessary for damn near everything, starting with the auto industry, and is part of the announcements of 50 billion dollars in chipmaking capacity that has been happening almost daily since Biden took over…this is what happens when you elect an intelligent, experienced person to be president and who surrounds himself with knowledgeable, competent people who can understand global commerce and the dangers that parts of it poses….every day, I’m glad that Biden and his team are in charge…the US is moving forward because of it….
