Well…reading the analysis of the dictator Putin’s latest speech where he tried to justify the annexation of Eastern Ukraine and all I can say is that Putin has gotten as stupid as trump…and he sounds like him, too….and we know how the “vote” for joining Russia was just too perfect with the yes votes of 97-98% of them…a typical Russian election by the way….Putin went on and on and on about how terrible the US is and bitched about the US bombing Germany and Japan in WWII…and not letting North Korea (or China) win the Korean war…and the “fact” that the US is forcing people to change sexes and take drugs…and he kept on about how “powerful” Russia is and how weak the west is…and one funny thing is that Lyman, that is in one of the annexed parts of Ukraine, was liberated today and the Ukrainian army is sweeping to the east capturing another 3,000 Russian soldiers as his “powerful” army cuts and runs…in no way the toughest army in the world as tucker carlson bleated just a few months ago….oh, and another stupid thing this speech directly resulted in was President Zelensky asking for an expedited process on their bid to join NATO…didn’t think of that vlad? If this happens and Ukraine is allowed to join, any attack by Russia will trigger article 5 in the NATO charter that says all member nations will come to the aid of any member that is attacked….and putin can’t even deal with Ukraine…what the hell can he do if NATO gets in the fight? If they wanted to, they could be in Moscow in a week…but they won’t, it will be enough to just throw Russia out of Ukraine and then just let the sanctions rot the Russian economy until the oligarchs get tired of losing money and depose putin. From the start, putin has been just a stupid as trump in starting the invasion that has gutted the Russian military and resulted in more than 50,000 of their soldiers killed…and yet the repubs keep cheering him on…if you listen to fox news, is sounds like they have the same writers as putin…and they are all traitors…geez…

Ian…
Well…with the reports coming out this morning from sheriffs in the Ft. Meyers area of hundreds dead from hurricane Ian…and I hope that’s not the case…I think there are a couple of reasons why people didn’t heed the warnings and evacuate…first, and I’ve written about this before, is the fact that almost 60% of the people in this country can’t cover an unexpected emergency of 400 bucks since they don’t have money in the bank for it…and, with a 3 day evacuation costing upwards of 2 grand for the travel and housing, they just couldn’t afford to leave and that is on us in the US…we should be able to take care of our fellow citizens if only the asshole governor of Florida, DeSantis, didn’t spend money on political stunts and actually cared about governing instead of his culture war bullshit that he is focused on…and the other reason is that the right wing has done a really good job of teaching people to not trust the government…so when even the president comes on tv and pleads with people to evacuate, they think it’s some kind of conspiracy and reflexively won’t believe him since the “libs lie all the time…look at covid” conspiracy that has been pushed and pushed on fox news over the past week…so we have the perfect storm of people wanting to leave but can’t afford it and people who won’t leave because fox news taught them not to trust the government…and the result is hundreds dead…I truly hope that’s not true but with many coastal cities under 9-12 feet of storm surge, I fear that the worst is yet to come….and I feel for Floridians no matter what their politics….
A big difference…
Well…I sure hope the media compares the disaster response from Joe Biden to the idiot trump over the next few days…with the huge hurricane that is coming ashore right now plans have been in place for over a week from the Biden administration and it didn’t matter that Florida is a red state or that DeSantis is an asshole who attacks Biden almost every day, Biden did what a president is supposed to do…take care of all Americans, not just those who voted for him…and he has every department of the government already on the ground there and Biden hasn’t said on thing about the constant quid pro quo’s that trump thrived on…and he hasn’t thrown paper towels at Floridians or tried to steer the relief aid to his unqualified cronies like trump did in Puerto Rico….that is the difference between dems and repubs…we believe that government is there to help the people of the country and that government, when done competently like Biden does it, is really a force for good that can help alleviate suffering of Americans everywhere….just watch and see the repubs try to take credit for Joe’s work just like the have been with all of the bills they have voted against that will fix the roads and bridges in this country…cynical bastards, all of them…..geez…
The party of no….
Well…sitting here thinking about politics to try to find a topic today and it dawned on me that there is only one functioning political party left in this country…and you know what one that is…the repub party has become the party of no…no to capping insulin at 35 bucks a month, no to expanding and strengthening SS, no to women’s rights, no to trans rights, no to same sex marriage, no to reading books, no to fixing our crumbling infrastructure, no to bringing jobs back to the US….you get the picture…since 2016 when they ditched their platform and policies for blind allegiance to the idiot trump, they don’t stand for anything other than making this country worse for everyone but the rich and corporations and they embrace the fascist policies that are a cancer on the world…even cheering today when it was announced that a fascist won the top job in Italy’s government and has started to turn back the clock to Mussolini and the damage he helped hitler do to Europe, and to listen to her, you get the echoes of the 1930’s when this bullshit killed millions. So the repubs don’t stand for anything but getting power back to hurt their “enemies” and they have already started to talk about impeaching Biden once a week if they take back the house…impeaching for what, I don’t know…for getting legislation passed that helps the entire country…or signing emergency legislation to help the red states when they get hit by natural disasters like the hurricane that is happening to Florida this week? We really do need to make sure we keep both the house and senate in November…if not, the repubs will unleash a hellscape on this country…but we can stop it…get out and vote….please…
One more thing about Favre…
Well…I think I may have talked about this one before but the 5 million dollars that Favre and his cronies stole wasn’t the only thing stolen…this same set of cronies paid him 1.1 million dollars to give speeches that he never gave…again out of a fund that is supposed to support the poor people of Mississippi…oh, and he tried to get millions more to build a practice stadium at his alma mater in Mississippi….so, okay, that was two things but damn, he is sure a crook….and I still can’t figure out why he hasn’t been arrested for fraud yet like one of his cronies in this scheme has been….he should be cooling his thieving ass in jail right now…but the whole state of Mississippi is run by his cronies and he is a white football star so that gives him immunity to state charges….so get after it feds, it’s your turn…geez…
Brett Favre is a thief…
Well…what the hell is it with these repub assholes who think it’s no big deal to steal millions of dollars from the poor…and the latest one is the asshole Brett Favre who took 5 million dollars that was earmarked for poor people in Mississippi to build a volleyball arena for the school where his daughter played…yep, he took food out of poor people’s mouths so his privileged daughter could have a nicer place to play volleyball…and the even more sick thing is that Favre is worth over a hundred million dollars and could easily afford to pay for it himself but no, he had to steal money from taxpayers just like every damn repub out there who scream about “big government and high taxes” but lines up at the government trough shouting gimme, gimme while his cronies help him steal…I hope this is one time where the rich don’t get away with it…and the guy who helped him steal is cooperating with the feds so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this will be one of those times….geez…
Why would anyone vote for a repub?
Well…the repubs are out with their latest “attack” on America and all I can say is “why would anyone vote for a repub?” after all, this plan would end Medicare and SS, make abortion illegal across the US and jail women and their doctors, end the ACA, give more tax cuts to the rich, end same sex marriage, end contraception…yeah, get the point? These assholes are trying to take this country back to the 1800’s and these are not popular things, in fact, none of these actions poll above 30% so who the hell are they governing for? Less than half of repubs even want any of this crap…so again, I am going to keep harping on this until election day…we all need to vote…if we vote, we win since there are a lot more of us than them but we are still making excuses…here in Michigan apply for a permanent absentee ballot at the SoS site and they just come to you in the mail and you mail them back…easy peazy and maybe takes a half hour of your time…so there are no excuses…the ballot will get to you a couple of weeks before the election and you just fill it in and mail it…you get what I’m saying? Easy, easy, easy…and let’s make sure the repubs can’t do what they are threatening…geez…
Do we dare hope?
Well…with the announcement yesterday of the huge lawsuit filed in NY and the appeals court smacking down the trump judge in the classified document theft case, do we dare hope that finally, after getting away with crimes for the past 50 years, that trump and his demon spawn are going to be held accountable? It sure looks that way but I won’t be sure of that until they are all perp walked and in jail….I did have a laugh yesterday when the idiot went on hannity’s show and didn’t make a bit of sense…just a huge word salad of his greatest hits…lot’s of witch hunts and he rolled out the golden oldie that the FBI was looking for Hillary’s e-mails when they searched mar a lago…I even think he threw in a couple of Hunter Biden’s laptops, too…you know, if you saw someone walking on the street and talking like that, you first thought would be that person should be in a mental hospital…his time is coming and he knows it…this should be something to watch….geez…
They’re all in on it…
Well…okay, I will admit I’m smiling right now with the announcement this morning that Leticia James, the AG of NY filed a huge lawsuit against the idiot trump and his idiot children, his company, and other execs for their manipulating the worth of properties to lower it for tax purposes or raise it to get loans…deceiving lenders, insurance brokers, and tax authorities…and the suit will try to recover 250 million dollars that the AG says was ill-gotten gains from this fraud and she has even referred the violations of law to the justice department and the IRS since this suit is a civil one….trump’s bad week just got worse…after his lawyers got blown out of the water by the special master overseeing the theft of government documents yesterday….I wonder how much ketchup is on the walls of mar a lago today? It is about time that this criminal and his criminal family started to be held accountable for their lawbreaking that has been going on for 40 years…this could result in the entire trump organization being dissolved and none of them ever being able to pull this crap again…wouldn’t that be nice? Geez…
As I said, Ron DeSantis is dumb…
Well…here comes the fallout from the stupid move that DeSantis pulled by tricking those legal refugees to get on a plane in Texas so he could kidnap them and send them across the country….as I said, this boy is dumb, dumb, dumb…in just the past few minutes all of the refugees that he kidnapped have filed a class action lawsuit against ole ronnie and some of his Florida cronies who were involved in the scheme…what a smart move to send them to Martha’s Vineyard that has more lawyers per capita than almost anywhere else in the country…and these aren’t trump quality ones either so he and the people of Florida who are going to have to foot the bill are going to hurt from this one…and the sick thing is he is still doing it to other refugees just today…and now they will need to join the class action or file one of their own since the template is now there for this jackass to get what he deserves…and this is the repubs idea of a “smart” person? You’re going to pay ronnie boy…and it can’t happen to a worse person….good….
