Well…to all of you out there who thought Hillary was too radical or tainted to vote for, you can all go to hell…it is you who sat home or voted for a third party candidate or even for the idiot trump who are responsible for making women second class citizens again and taking away the right they had to control their bodies and make their own medical decisions. With the leaked opinion by the christo fascist Alito, the supreme court is going to kill Roe, the decision that protected women’s right to an abortion and a decision that all of the trump appointees lied about during their confirmation hearings…how do you feel now, Susan Collins? It was your vote that put Kavanaugh on the court and he lied to your face when you asked him about Roe as “settled law” and he said he would respect that…but I knew that was a lie, and I wrote about it when the hearings were going on that Kavanaugh was lying as Gorsuch and Alito did during theirs…whatever small amount of respect the court had after mcconnell packed it with these unqualified, lying assholes is just gone and now we need to get out and fight every damn day to get dems elected to expand the court and we need to lean on Manchin and Sinema to get them to support getting rid of the filibuster and codifying Roe into law so the fascists on the court can’t touch these rights…this is the first generation of women who will have less rights than their mothers and grandmothers…but that is the point of these christo fascists…gay rights are next…mark my words….

Nice to have a normal president…
Well…after watching a bit of the white house correspondent’s dinner and Joe Biden’s performance, the thought came into my head that is just damn nice to have a normal human being as president…and his writers had a quite a few funny zingers that he delivered perfectly…and some of them were aimed at fox news and the recent revelations that hannity was essentially working for trump during the 2020 election…and this is in direct contrast to the thin skinned idiot trump who skipped these dinners since he just has no sense of humor and can’t take even the mild ribbing that comes with it…could you imagine idiot boy even trying to deliver any joke that was not a mean spirited attack on his “enemies”? Nope, me neither…but the best part of the night was the closing where Trevor Noah laid a two by four upside the head of the reporters and news execs for their bullshit bothsiderism and for not doing their jobs of protecting this country from people like trump…and that last few minutes should be shown in every damn newsroom and to every reporter and media exec who are driving the dereliction of their duty….maybe some of it will sink in and we will have some real reporting for a change…we can hope anyway…geez…
Georgia is coming for the trumpers…
Well…almost forgot about this event that is happening Monday in Georgia…that is the day that the special grand jury that is going to investigate the idiot trump’s election interference where he was caught on tape asking the Sos to “find” enough votes to hand the state to him and threatened him with retribution if he didn’t. Because this is a special grand jury, it’s only task is this investigation where a normal grand jury would deal with multiple investigations and probably take longer to get to the point of indictments…and it has been specifically mentioned that Lindsey Graham is under investigation, too, along with the usual suspects like Giuliani and any other trump cronies who were working to overturn the election with their lies and manipulation. I wouldn’t think we will hear anything for a couple of months even though idiot boy was caught on tape as was Graham…but this is as open and shut a case that I have seen in along time…I really do think indictments are going to come out of this and felony ones, too…we can only hope….
Poor, poor Politico…
Well…I think I may have talked about this before but the media has really started to whine that there is no “excitement” or a chance to be a “star” reporter when covering the Biden WH…yeah, I know it was easy reporting on the WH when the group of idiot boy’s criminals had a new scandal every damn day for them to do 15 minutes of work and call it a day…but now they whine about a competent WH that is transparent, truthful, and accomplished and that it too “hard” to cover what’s going on there since their stories are not written for them and they may have to actually be a reporter and think about follow up questions ahead of time to flesh out a story idea that they have been working on…and they just don’t want to put in the time or work to even come up with an idea anymore…they just want to find out what the repub meme of the day is and try to come up with a sound bite so they can get on fox news and make their bosses happy…and that is what is wrong with the media these days…they are bunch of lazy assed babies who want everything handed to them before they land their gold mine gig on fox or newsmax….and this country is already suffering from it…none of the good news is sexy enough for them so it doesn’t get reported…after all, no one wants to hear how well Biden is doing…they are addicted to scandal and they aren’t getting any and don’t know what to do…geez…
They were all in on it…
Well…sitting here feeling like crap after the bike ride…and I felt like crap on the ride, too, so I don’t know what is going on…hmmmm…I did read an article yesterday that I wanted to talk a bit about…after all of the investigations that have been done about the coup attempt on January 6th of last year, on startling fact has come out and that is that every damn repub in the house but two were in one it…every one of them have turned up in text messages, facebook posts, or other media talking about how to do the coup or in planning of it or supporting it…and the only two who weren’t are Cheney and Kinzinger who are on the January 6th committee…just let that sink in a minute, one of the major political parties in this country had every member try to overturn the legal election of Biden… and not one of them has been charged with sedition or insurrection or even jaywalking…not one damn thing for these people who violated the 14th amendment and should have been expelled from congress and banned from ever holding office again…but nothing at all from Garland…has anyone checked on him to see if he is still alive? This is the best way to guarantee that this crap will happen again…and we see that the plans are being laid by these same people for 2022 and 2024 to overthrow the legal votes of Americans again…they all need to go and if Garland isn’t willing to uphold the law, then he needs to go, too…geez…
And you thought it couldn’t get any more nuts…
Well…as I sit here waiting for the temp to come up enough so I don’t freeze my butt off working outside…and no, I didn’t get on the indoor bike today so I needed to do something else…and this is it. Just read about the latest conspiracy theories that coming out of the right this week and they just can’t get any more nuts than this…okay, I’ve said that before but damn, this is just crazy…oh, crap..buried the lede again…when someone was interviewing some of the deplorables at a trump hate rally this weekend, the true believers have a new on to believe…and that is that Biden is being played by a bunch of actors since he is too feeble to do anything and his handlers are hiding him in the WH basement so they can continue to control the world…and guess who a couple of the actors in rubber masks are? Jim Carrey, for one and James Woods for another….never mind that Woods is a huge trump supporter but he is doing it for some reason that has something to do with the tired old meme that the idiot boy trump is going to be reinstated any day now once all is revealed…and I guess he can do more damage to Biden from the inside? Jim Carrey had a bunch of pretty funny responses on twitter and can’t really understand why they singled him out to get sucked into their delusions but he is having fun with it…oh, and in the interview that I saw, the man who was standing next to the crazy assed woman who was being interviewed had on a t-shirt that read “trump and JFK junior 2024″….and I wondered how that person can even function with no firm grasp on reality….this is one of the nuttiest things I have seen in quite a while…but I will admit I don’t immerse myself in the fever swamps of the modern repub party…sometimes I dip a toe in just for a topic but then use a ton of disinfectant to make sure the infection doesn’t spread to my brain…geez…
Could it be karma?
Well…you know, there are times that I do believe in karma and that people get what they deserve when they are so damn terrible people…and yesterday was one of those days when Tesla’s stock dropped almost 140 billion dollars in reaction to ole elon borrowing against it to buy twitter…and the sick thing is that it means nothing to elon…he still has 300 billion dollars and there is just something wrong with that…and the shenanigans have already started at twitter with conservative assholes gaining thousands and thousands of followers while the progressive voices have been losing them hand over fist…even Mark Hamill has lost over 8,000 followers since the sale of twitter was announced…and ole elon’s freedom of speech bullshit has been revealed to be just that…all he wants is to be free of twitter’s moderators and be able to attack whoever he wants…starting with some twitter execs who were then piled on by all of the deplorables who elon is allowing back on twitter…okay, he doesn’t own it yet so I’m not sure how much he had to do with it but he was setting the example that attacks are just peachy with him if they are to support him…hmmm…who does that sound like? trump? Yep….and he is just trying to intimidate people who work for twitter to show them that when he is in charge, they will have hell to pay if they cross him…and that is exactly what elon does…when he disagrees with someone or they disagree with him, he wants twitter to be able to launch an even bigger attack that the people he is attacking can’t respond to…and that is not “free speech”, it is just another rich guy trying to shut everyone else out of any conversation…after all, the only people these rich assholes think should have the right to speak to them are other rich guys…geez…
Rand Paul is a Russian stooge…
Well…just a short one on how stupid and how bad of a Russian Stooge he is…in a hearing in the senate today, Paul tried to justify Russia’s invasion of Georgia and the Ukraine by saying that they once were part of the soviet union so Russia has every right to invade and try to take them over…word by word talking points that Putin and his cronies have used to justify the invasion…so, under that logic, Russia has every right to attack and try to take back Alaska since it was once part of Russia…and England has every right to attack and try to take over the US or any one of their previous colonies like India or even China…or any country that once ruled another has the right to attack that country again…how about Germany and France? Or Italy and southern France? You see how ridiculous this moron is….and the big question is why the hell would a sitting senator try to justify the attack and genocide that Russia is doing in Ukraine? Rand Paul needs to go…he doesn’t have the brains or honor to be a senator…and he needs to go…geez…
The financials don’t work…
Well…I promise you this will be the last one about twitter and ole Elon today but it deals with just another one of the confusing details about why he is buying twitter in the first place….and this one will be short so no TLDR….when you look at the details of the deal, it looks like Elon will be borrowing around 25 billion dollars to make the deal and at 4-5% interest on the loan, that is about 1.5 billion dollars in interest alone…and the funny thing is that even in it’s best year, twitter has never made that much money…maybe a billion dollars or so and that means that Elon is going to have to squeeze a half a billion dollars of cost out of the organization to make it work…and isn’t that always the way? Venture capital or billionaires swoop in and the first thing they do is fire everyone who is making any money so they can pump the stock and then dump it…with twitter going private, that won’t be the case here with the stock but there still needs to be a half billion dollars in costs taken out since analysts agree that there is not enough potential revenue growth to support the half billion in extra profit. So why? Could it be as simple as a thin skinned billionaire getting pissed that people on twitter don’t kiss his ass as much as he thinks they should? That would be a laugh and right now it is as good an explanation as any other…geez…
Let’s remember this about Elon….
Well…before anyone else feeds the world the bullshit that Elon Musk is a “self made” man, let’s remember this about him…he was born rich in South Africa where his father owned an emerald mine and made his money on the backs of black laborers in the apartheid era when they were treated as little better than slaves and who lived in shanty towns with no running water or any other services like electricity while Elon and his family lived in a palatial estate and that he inherited along with the mine…so it’s bullshit that he “built” everything that he has…like most other billionaires, he started out with a few hundred million from daddy or grandpa and then used the power of that money to get where he is…and when you see the union busting tactics at his tesla plants and the widespread racism that permeates them, and the fact that he was a regular visitor at the idiot boy’s WH tells you all you need to know about him….he is not someone to hold up as any sort of a role model, after all, he can come up with 44 billion to buy twitter but whines, whines, and whines about having to pay any taxes at all…just another billionaire moocher whose companies wouldn’t exist without the largess of the US people and government….geez….
