So now Elon Musk is a Russian agent…

Well…a long time ago, I thought that ole Elon was actually not a bad guy even with the racism that is rampant at his Tesla factory in California…but now, with his choice to pal around with trump and his minions, he is showing he is just another maga asshole and that fact was further highlighted with the revelation that, before he commented that Ukraine should “negotiate” with Russia and that Crimea should stay an occupied Russian territory, ole Elon talked personally to the war criminal Putin to get what talking points Putin wanted him to say…now, if I was elon, I would be registering as a foreign agent of Russia before the feds show up at his doorstep…or better yet, if you think so much of Putin and Russia as the whole repub party does, I don’t think anyone would miss you if you moved there permanently…I sure wouldn’t miss your bullshit or you letting the criminal trump back on twitter if that sale ever goes through…this is how you treat a country who welcomed you from South Africa? Now, I’m as big a free speech supporter as anyone, but when you consort with our enemies and push their propaganda, that is giving aid and comfort to the enemy…and that is the definition of treason….better lawyer up…geez…

The rubes get screwed again….

Well…I wonder if the rubes that support the idiot trump and continue to give him millions of dollars as he lies to them that it is going to be used to support other maga candidates are ever going to wake up? They have given him over a hundred million dollars to “stop the steal” or whatever other bullshit he feeds them and it really doesn’t matter what it is, they just send him cash just like any other cult leader or mega church pastor…I mean how many jets does a “pastor” need? So, it was just reported that idiot boy doesn’t have any of that money left other than what is going to pay his lawyers…no money for candidates, no money for ads, no money for anything but the idiot’s lawyers…I guess he does need a lot of them since he committed a minimum of 56 crimes since he came down that escalator and started off the national nightmare that goes on to this day. I’m pretty okay with him spending money on lawyers and not having any to interfere with our elections although pushing maga candidates is the best way for us to keep the senate and house in a month….I know people keep admonishing we on the left for looking down on the maga crowd…but how stupid do you have to be to keep giving money to an obvious grifter who is just going to take your money and run? And to believe the 10’s of thousands of lies the idiot has spewed over the past 6 years? I will look down on people who allow themselves to be duped by an obvious conman and revel in the grift…and I won’t feel bad about it…geez…

They’re lying again….

Well…with the new talking point…okay, it’s not new but the repubs trot out the “soft on crime” bullshit during every election to attack every dem candidate from the top down and the sad thing is people are buying it and some races are tightening because of it…but here are the facts…the top ten states for violent crime are all repub controlled states…every damn on of them and the rate of these crimes are rising faster in these same states…in 2020, the per capita murder rate in states that the idiot trump won was 40% higher than in blue states, and yet they lie and lie that blue cities and states are hellholes of violent crime and the right thinks that if you ever walk down a street in any blue big city, you have a 100% chance of being robbed or killed…and that is what they are using in their ads and the racists who are the repubs are just eating this crap up because they just love to hate….for these kind of lies that have been recycled since the 80’s, you would think the dems would have come up with some effective counters to them, but if they have, I haven’t seen them yet…and they need to get off their asses and debunk this bullshit…and now…geez…

Extortion and bribery, too…

Well…if the NYT reporting is accurate, it looks like the idiot trump is on the hook for extortion and bribery, too…if you haven’t read it yet, the NYT reported that idiot boy stole a lot of the classified documents so he could trade them for the material on the 2016 Russian interference in the election to try to “prove” that it was all a hoax…now it’s bad enough that he stole the documents which is  a felony, but to try to extort the government and bribe them to give him other documents is another two felonies to go along with obstruction of justice that he committed by hiding the documents in the first place….and it’s not just me saying this…there have been quite a few former prosecutors that have said the same thing and same as me, they can’t figure out why he hasn’t be arrested and charged since the illegal possession of the classified documents has been proven way beyond the standard for a conviction…so come on Garland, perp walk this criminal now before he can do any more damage…geez…

Wake up old folks….

Well…with the repubs now saying they want to end social security as it now exists and replace the guaranteed income with something that has to be re-authorized every 5 years and every 5 years folks like you and me are going to have to sit here and wonder if we are going to be able to live at all, all I have to say is wake up folks! Look, as the polls say, most older people like me vote for repubs for some damn reason, we need to make sure that people living on SS know what is going on and know that a vote for repubs is a vote for their own death from starvation….right now, I can pay all of my bills and put a little away every month and I feel secure for the first time in my life…and I paid for this security my entire life out of every paycheck I ever got from the time I was 15…so it’s NOT an entitlement, it’s our money that we paid for…in my case for 50 years and even talking about taking it away from me is pissing me off…and yet I know people who will continue to vote for repubs even if their lives will be destroyed by them since they just can’t believe that they will ever do that to them…and all I have to say to those folks is that the repubs just made more than 50% of this country second class citizens and most people thought they wouldn’t do that and then Roe was overturned and the repubs immediately started to criminalize women’s healthcare…so, yes, if they are given the power, of course they will eliminate Medicare and social security….they have hated those programs since they were passed and have tried and tried to eliminate them over the years…so, open your eyes old folks…disaster is coming to you if you continue to vote for these assholes….geez…

The Saudis and Russia need to pay…

Well…damn, I am so tired of the Saudis and the Russians meddling in our elections…and they are at it again for the mid-terms when yesterday they announced that they are going to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day which will send oil prices soaring and give the repubs a huge talking point for the next month…now, I wonder, did the repubs even talk to the Saudis and ask them to do it? They’ve done everything else treasonable so that is not much of a stretch, is it? Let’s remember that trump and his cronies actually did work with the Russians to steal the 2016 election and I’m sure they still have the “backchannels” the the idiot kushner established with both the Russians and the Saudis…and they are still joined at the hip as evidenced by jared getting 2 billion dollars from the Saudis after the 2020 election that has still never been explained. Let’s remember that there needs to be conspirators here in the US or none of this would work…and you can guess who that would be…no, you don’t have to guess…it’s the damn repubs..cheating, cheating, and cheating…it’s the only way they can win….geez…

Justice Jackson is going to be a good one…

Well…have been looking for a topic since I finished up with all the work I had to do today and I found one….with the seating of Justice Ketanji Jackson on the supreme court…people have been focusing on the fact that she is the first African American woman on the supreme court, but after her first day on the court and with how she handled herself and illuminated how damn good she is, all I can say is I’m damn impressed and I know she is going to be a good one. During arguments where Alabama is trying to gut the voting rights act, blathering that any redistricting in Alabama must be race neutral, she patiently explained the history of the 14th amendment and that it specific purpose was to protect the rights of freed slaves…and she asked how that could be “race neutral?” And she went on to explain that taking race into account in redistricting is perfectly constitutional….how much this going to matter with the right wingers salivating to allow the repubs to gerrymander to their hearts content and them not needing any reason in the constitution or law to make that happen, it is still heartening to see someone explode the idea that the “fix” is in and her opinion doesn’t matter…I can’t wait to read some of her dissents…I think she is going to end up a legal giant who will rule to the law and not to political goals…and she will show just how much the right wingers on the court are just hacks with no business at all of being there…can’t wait….

Terrible, terrible people…

Well…it’s been another long day and I just finished up my work for the day so I thought I’d come here about the jaw dropping revelations about two of the repub candidates for senate and all I can say is I’ve been warning about the modern repubs here for a long, long time, and this bears me out…first, the senate candidate for Pennsylvania  (who is really from New Jersey) Dr. Oz, who has made millions of dollars selling his snake oil treatments on tv that do not work but the rubes don’t know that…it was reported yesterday that when he was testing his bullshit treatments, he killed 339 dogs including one litter where he killed half of them then stuffed the dead bodies into a garbage bag with the rest of the litter and just threw them in the trash to die….this is the kind of people who infest the repub party and not one of the leadership says word one about it since they are so hungry for power that anything these candidates do is just fine with them….then in Georgia, Herschel Walker (who called himself too dumb to debate) has a history of violence and who put a gun to his wife’s head and threatened to shoot here along with putting a knife to her throat and threatened to cut it if she continued with a divorce filing…and his son came out the other day to tell everyone that they had to change houses 6 times in 6 months to hide from him as he threatened to kill them all….and the topper for the absolute abortion opponent is that he paid for an abortion for his girlfriend at the time….but none of that is too much for repub voters, they don’t care if their candidates are the worst people in the world, they don’t care because they are like them…bad people who are just the worst in the world and just want to burn it all down to “own the libs” and it is a plus to them that these candidates are awful…the worse they are, the better they like them….geez….

Ron DeSantis is a grifter…don’t give him a dime…

Well…just got the first ride in and thought I’d do one of these before I go back out…with the devastation across Florida from hurricane Ian last week, you would think the governor of Florida would be asking for donations to organizations who are already on the ground like the American Red Cross or Jose Andres’s World Central Kitchen and any other established relief organizations…but no, the first thing that ole Ron did was to set up his own “relief” fund and is asking people to donate to it instead…only one thing wrong with that…DeSantis is just another repub grifter who sees disaster in his state as a opportunity to grift large quantities of cash from the rubes…and, it’s even worse…this “relief” organization is run by his wife and there is going to be no oversight of it…so ole ronnie could use the cash for whatever he wants…I guess he took lessons from the big grifter trump who stole a couple hundred million from the rubes pushing the “big lie” and saying he would use the cash to contest the election…which he didn’t…how can anyone vote for this asshole who is going to siphon off money that could help the people of Florida recover from this disaster but ole ronnie will use it to line his pockets and pull more political stunts…are the people of Florida so stupid to keep voting for this crook? I guess so…geez…

They’re not even trying anymore…

Well…with the damage done by hurricane Ian to Florida, NC, and SC….the dems did the responsible thing and got an emergency funding bill up in front of congress to have 12 billion dollars ready to go as soon as it’s needed…and they didn’t try to extort anyone or threaten to withhold the money since the damage was done to red states like the idiot trump would have and did to blue states….but, since they are not in charge of congress, the repubs there are acting like they are not even trying anymore…especially those who are supposed to represent Florida like Matt Gaetz who voted against the funding along with one of their senators, Rick Scott…and their other senator, Marco Rubio, didn’t even show up for the vote…but that’s no surprise since he never talks to his constitutents and no one ever knows where he is…surely not doing his job. Let that sink in for a minute…and hey Floridians, these guys do not give a damn about you or what you are going through…they vote against all help to score cheap political points while you sit there with no food, water, or shelter…what the hell are they good for? Nothing from what I can see…and we in the blue states are rushing in to try…that is the difference between dems and repubs…we know you need help and we are going to provide it…but the repubs all believe that government is a bad thing and will just sit there and pout as we get things done….remember that in November…geez…
