Well…just when you think that the repubs can’t be any worse people, they dig deeper and become even bigger assholes. Just last night, as the voting goes on about the huge inflation control bill, an amendment was put forward by the dems that would cap the cost of insulin at 35 bucks a month for anyone with private insurance…and guess how many repubs voted against it and for killing Americans who can’t afford the thousand bucks a month that insulin can cost? Yep…47 of them…47 repub senators think that it is just peachy that insulin that costs 5 bucks to make can cost so much that diabetics have to choose between eating and their life saving medicine…and at those costs, many, many diabetics report having to take less than prescribed since it just costs so damn much…but the repubs don’t care and the only reason they voted against it is that the won’t give Biden a “win” by helping people stay alive…they are perfectly okay with people dying just to spite the dems…what a bunch of assholes…that’s the only word for it…vote dem this fall and let’s get some good stuff done for the country…and cap the cost of insulin if we can keep congress…vote…

Any other president…
Well…with the astonishing jobs numbers that came out today, any other president would be carried around on people’s shoulders with parades thrown in his honor…but with Biden? Nothing…and his approval ratings are still in the tank…so what’s the deal? Look, the economy was predicted to add about 25k jobs with the fed trying to slow down the economy to tame inflation but employers added 528K and the unemployment rate is down to 3.5%…so where’s the recession? Jobs should be dropping if we are in a recession as employers look out a ways and see the slowdown…and it still may happen in a few months but not now. It appears that another huge bill is going to pass, too, to go along with infrastructure, gun control, and all of the others that Biden has gotten done and yet no one gives him any credit for it…again, if any other president had gotten all of this done in his first two years…including getting the #1 of al queada just this week, his numbers would be in the 70’s and I still think part of it is the media still both siding everything and the lack of the dems getting the message out…most people still don’t think Biden has gotten anything done and that has to change…and we only have 3 months to do it before the mid terms…got on it dems…geez…
We could win this fall….
Well…the general consensus is that the president’s party loses seats in the midterm election in normal years…but this is is far from normal and the polls are showing some surprising changes that none of the pundits saw coming…and those changes can be seen in the vote in Kansas Tuesday where almost 70% of voters turned out to ensure that women’s rights were not destroyed by the repub majority…and the overall turnout was higher than any midterm in history….and that is all we need to keep the senate and house…turnout of our side since there are a lot more of us than there are of them. In three senate races, our side is ahead and if that holds, we end up with a Manchin proof majority in the senate where we can expand the supreme court to make Alito and his other liar colleagues shut the hell up…and prevent them from doing any more damage. So, folks…get out and vote, that’s all we need to do to make sure the adults are running this country and we can have nice things again…and the rich assholes start paying their fair share of taxes….so vote…vote…vote…
Elections matter….
Well…yesterday was the first election since the corrupt supreme court overturned Roe and all of the pundits who said that the ruling wouldn’t have much of an effect were just flat out wrong…especially in Kansas, a blood red state, that voted to keep the right to an abortion in the state constitution by an almost 20% margin with turnout that exceeded any primary in the state’s history…and I think that shows that our side is pretty damn motivated and will turn out in November…it is looking like we may even gain seats in the senate and possibly hold onto the house if our side just gets off it’s ass and spends an hour to vote….or here in Michigan, just get a permanent absentee ballot and vote from home like I do…..and do that because elections matter and we can have nice things again if we just vote all the repubs out and elect people from the reality based world….and remember, there is a constitutional amendment on this fall’s ballot that will enshrine women’s rights in the constitution…and if for no other reason, vote for that and let’s show the rest of the country that Michigan will not let a corrupt supreme court take away women’s rights…it’s the least we can do…
Real geniuses…
Well…don’t the geniuses running the repub party understand that screwing with sick veterans is not a winning issue for them? I guess they thought they could get away with not funding their healthcare like they’ve gotten away with screwing the country over for decades, but something has changed and I think it’s Jon Stewart. Jon has been out there lambasting them on every news show that there is since they voted against the bill last week…and he was pulling no punches just like he did when he fought for healthcare for the first responders in NYC who put their lives on the line on 9/11….and this time all of lies that the repubs were spouting about 400 billion dollars of pork in the bill didn’t work and now they are backpedaling so fast that their shoes are smoking….and Chuck Schumer has promised that the bill will come up for a vote again this week, putting the repubs on the record…again, if they vote against it…the difference this time is that the media has a spotlight on the bill and if they do vote against it, they are going to have to explain those votes…and jsut a few minutes ago, turtle mcconnell has said the bill is going to pass this week the pressure has been so high on him and his fellow traitors…so, thank you Jon for all your had work to take care of our sick veterans…pretty damn good for a “minor celebrity” to quote Pat Toomey….
trump is the worst person who ever was…
Well…everyone in the world knew that the idiot trump was one of the worst people in the world, but with his actions this week with the burial of his first wife Ivana, he goes right to the top of the list as worst person in the world. Not sure if you’ve seen it yet, but this asshole buried his first wife and the mother of three of his kids on the first hole of his golf course in New Jersey in what looks like a paupers grave with no headstone, no flowers, no nothing but a small plaque that appears to be just dropped on the grave…a huge show of disrespect that has an ulterior motive…he can now take tax breaks by calling the entire golf course a graveyard and that exempts the course from paying any kind of taxes…property or income taxes or anything else….what kind of a person uses his dead ex-wife to do that? And what kind of kids don’t say shit about it and allow this bullshit? Look, you know I think that idiot boy is worthless piece of crap, but this? This person is who half of the repub party reveres as their god…and that shows just who they are…geez…oh, and here’s the kicker…he charged Ivana’s estate 150k for digging a hole and dumping her in…
Fist bumping as veterans die…
Well…I know there have been ample examples of the ghoulishness of the modern repub party, but Friday they turned it up to 11 on the ghoul scale….after the repubs killed a bill in the senate that would giver extended health care benefits to veterans who were injured by being exposed to toxic burn pits as the military tried to get rid of all of the toxic waste they generate, ted cruz and the rest of these ghouls fist bumped each other to celebrate the killing of many veterans who will die because of their vote…and the super ghoulish senator toomey came out with a statement that “they knew what they signed up for” to justify his no vote and he went on to say he just didn’t care that vets are going to die…just as long as he could deny Biden a “win” on the legislation…I mean, how ghoulish is that? He doesn’t give a crap about vets at all, just as long as he can use their deaths to deny Biden a legislative “victory”….on our side it wasn’t a win or lose situation…it was a do the right thing moment where our side wants to take care of the people who served this country and who we have a responsibility to…so, the next time you step into a voting booth remember the glee that the repubs showed when they guaranteed that vets were going to die…and don’t vote for those assholes…geez…
Crying whiny babies…
Well…you would think by watching the repubs yesterday, that someone had stolen their candy or their bicycle the way they were whining and crying about Schumer getting the big inflation control bill passed through the senate…after they head faked mcconnel to get the “chips” bill that would bring computer chip manufacturing back to the US and insulate them from the supply chain problems that plagued the US when almost all of them were made in China. So, in an utterly predictable fit of vengeance, Susan Collins came out and said that since the dems “snookered” them on the inflation bill, they were going to hold the marriage equality bill up and not allow that to pass…and, at the same time, mcconnell killed a bill that would pay the medical costs of veterans who were injured by the burn pits that were used by the military to get rid of toxic waste….and it was all in spite for being beaten on the inflation bill…let’s get this straight, the repubs have been doing this kind of stuff since forever and they are just pissed that the dems have started to understand they can’t trust them and are using all of the tools at their disposal to get things done without the repubs…and the sick thing is that after they crapped all over the veterans, you could see the repubs high-fiving each other to celebrate hurting them…the sick bastards that they are….if you haven’t seen it yet, find the video of Jon Stewart ranting about these repub assholes and their cynical bullshit…Jon has been championing this issue for years and thought they had gotten there when the repubs voted for the bill last week just to renege this week in spite…and Jon tears them a new one…good…
Holy crap, they’re going to pass something…
Well…running late today with doing all kind of stuff and going to the beach to play in the waves…but, I am in shock that the dems are reported to be readying to pass a huge piece of legislation that deals with climate change, the deficit, inflation, and medicare drug prices along with paying for it by raising corporate taxes and higher taxes on the rich… and it looks like mcconnell was beaten like a dead horse on it since he didn’t see it coming….I’ll believe it when I see it but it sound pretty damn good with lowering greenhouse gas emissions by 40% before 2030 with being carbon neutral by 2050….and that’s a pretty damn big deal….and it is a pretty damn big deal that the bill includes the ability for medicare to negotiate drug prices so maybe we’ll get the cost of insulin down from the 1,000 bucks a month cost it is now…and Joe Manchin is on board with the bill as are a few repubs but it will be passed through reconcilliation so we need to wait to see if it is judged to fit those requirements…damn, I never thought I’d see this…I am surprised and and happy but I’m not going to go overboard…and what is the repub reaction? They are torpedoing a bill that they voted for before that would extend healthcare to veterans who were harmed by the toxic burn pits that were used by the armed forces to dispose of toxic waste for years and years…so out of spite and pettiness, they are hurting veterans to get back at the dems…god, how stupid are these people? The ads are going to write themselves for the election in the fall….so far a good day…
Trump is under DOJ investigation…
Well..finally…it was reported yesterday that the idiot trump is under investigation by the DOJ for the whole fake electors, January 6th insurrection crimes and it is not a day too soon…and they have been talking to anyone they want since you do not blow off a DOJ subpoena like they did the congressional one…although Steve Bannon is finding out there are consequences for doing that with being convicted of contempt of congress on two counts and he should get a couple of years in the klink for that….but this latest has high ups in Pence’s office talking to the doj and I’m sure that they have giuliani, Meadows, Clark, and Eastman in their sights since they were the drivers of that particular conspiracy…so, the investigation is still not going fast enough for me especially since Garland let the 5 year statute of limitations expire without charging trump with obstruction of justice with the evidence from the Mueller report….no I hope they do ted cruz, josh hawley, check grassley, and lindsey graham since there were all involved with the plot and they should be held responsible for their crimes against the US, too. The perp walk for idiot boy is getting closer and I couldn’t be happier…he needs to be in jail and his poison needs to be excised from this country…vote everybody…let’s get sanity and progressive values back into the government…geez…
