Well…with the astroturf “protests” going on in Canada that is shutting down auto plants here in the US, I think the Ford, Chrysler, and GM should do is sue the rich assholes that are known to be funding the lawbreaking…and I can’t believe that Canada hasn’t just started to tow all of the semis and impound them until they pay the fines for illegal parking or whatever other charge they can come up with…I know there are statutes that can be used to stop disruption of international commerce that are felonies, so why haven’t they just pulled these assholes over and arrested them? If it was BLM doing it, there would be dead bodies all over the road and thousands in jail by now, so I wonder what the difference is? Look, there are just a few rich assholes who are funding these “protests” so the auto makers should be in court right now suing the hell out of them since losing money is the only thing they understand…and then I’d include every person who is involved on the street…I do support freedom of speech and peaceful protest but why is there s different standard for right wing protests than there is for us on the left? Can you imagine the outrage that would be happening on all of the right wing media if this was funded by George Soros or other left wing billionaires? Geez….

Maggie Haberman is not a journalist…
Well…you know, I’m getting damn sick and tired of so called “journalists” who do reporting and find crimes committed by politicians but then lock them in their little boxes labeled “book profits” and keep quiet about them until the book comes out. This is a plague on the media these days since it seems that not one damn journalist does what he or she was hired to do…and that is report the news as it happens…and that is no more true that with the NYT’s Maggie Haberman who has taken segregating facts for profit to an art form when she should have reported what she learned about the idiot trump over his 4 years in office…and the big bombshell that she should have reported on when she learned it years ago was the idiot boy regularly tore up presidential papers and ate them, shredded them, or flushed them down a toilet which plugged up and aides had to go fish them out to preserve them in accordance with the law…now, wouldn’t it have been nice to know this stuff when the impeachments were going on? At least we now know why idiot boy was so obsessed with it taking “10 or 15 flushes” to clear out his toilets…look, let’s fault the NYT, too, since they ran the “scandal” about Hillary’s e-mails on the front page for months when there was nothing to it but where there is the real scandal of trump stealing classified documents and hoarding them at his bedbug palace in Florida, it gets two paragraphs on page 15 and that’s it…no continuing story, no nothing…and when one of it’s reporters, Haberman, lies to her editors to hold back things she has learned on their dime to make bucks for herself with cost to the country…not a damn peep out of them….Haberman should at least be fired for her ethical lapses during the trump debacle…but that won’t happen either…the media has completely lost sight of it’s responsibilities and none of them are worse than the NYT…geez…oh, and here’s a post script…during Watergate, Woodward and Bernstein didn’t “save facts for the book” as Haberman did…just sayin…
Do they know something we don’t?
Well…it has been a curious couple of days with the first cracks appearing in the trump hold on what is left of the repub party and the question comes to mind is why? Why now when it has been more than a year since idiot boy instigated the attack on the capital and they have been silent until this week? What I think is happening is that there is huge amount of CYA going on with McConnell, Pence and the rest of the repubs who have broken with trump…I think they know that trump is toast with what is coming from the January 6th committee and the rest of the investigations of the criminal…and they just want to start distancing themselves while they still can before idiot boy gets charged and that distancing gets much, much harder. It will still be fun to watch…maybe the dam has broken and the orange moron is going to be left to rot at bedbug palace in Florida…we can only hope…
Let’s talk about Dolly…
Well…with news every day about crappy celebrity behavior that seems to flood into the air every day, the latest news about Dolly Parton is a welcome breath of fresh air…not surprising, but fresh air anyway. For a little personal background, I’m not a country music fan and don’t really follow it much but when I was young, my mother was a huge country fan with WJEF always playing with the real country music…at least to my mind, and she liked to watch the country music shows like Rem Wall and the Porter Wagoner show that Dolly was on…so I have been aware of her just about my entire life…and in that time, I don’t remember anyone saying a bad word about Dolly, and her genuine niceness was always who she was and that never changed in all those years…and there have been too many times to count where she used her well earned fortune to help people all over the country, and you very seldom heard about it…and now, her latest bid at making life better for a lot of people just made my jaw drop….just yesterday, it was announced that every employee at Dollywood no matter whether they are permanent, seasonal, or temps qualify for having their college paid for completely…tuition, books, fees and any other costs will be covered…and the cool thing is that you didn’t see Dolly out there taking credit for it even though it has to be her idea….now this is one of the coolest things I have ever heard and it puts all of the whining CEO’s across this country to shame as they bitch and moan that they can’t afford healthcare for their people, or raises, or anything else…and we all know that is because it would cut into their pay and they all think they are worth the millions they get paid while their employees are worth nothing. So, all I have to say is good on ya, Dolly…just keep being you…
Is this enought to arrest idiot boy?
Well…just got back from lunch with my brother and I’m running a little late today…but I did want to talk about he latest criminal behavior by the idiot boy and am wondering again: is this enough to arrest him yet? Just a while back, the National Archivist had to raid the idiots bedbug ridden Florida golf course to retrieve 15 boxes of presidential records that he had stolen and I’m sure was going to try to sell to the highest bidder…but, none of that stuff belongs to him, it belongs to the US people and there is even a law against removing these records from the WH that has a penalty of 3 years in prison…and the kicker is that if he is convicted of this crime as he should be, he is disqualified from holding any office again…so no more running for president or anything else but we just need the DOJ to get some guts and prosecute him for at least one of the hundreds of crimes he has committed…this one should be a slam dunk…after all, how else would the records get there? Indict this ass now, and it will shut him up forever…do it!
More repub voter fraud in Florida…
Well…you probably haven’t heard about the latest scam the repubs in Florida are pulling to suppress the votes of poor and elderly people there where they go into low income housing and then change the registration all of the people who live there to repub from dem without their permission…and the people didn’t find out about the scam until new repub voter registration cards started showing up in the mail. So, a local DA has opened an investigation into the voter fraud and has asked Garland to open a federal investigation into it since it is a federal crime to lie on voter registration forms…and when the head of the Florida repub party was questioned about the fraud, she did the typical deflection that they all do and said: “the dems should support our voting integrity bill to stop this kind of thing..”…and that is just so damn rich…the repubs commit voter fraud and then use their own fraud to push more restrictions on voting…there is just no shame or integrity in these people…and I really hope this person approved the fraud and goes to jail for it…after all, it is only the repubs that commit these crimes across the country…and they need to pay for it…geez…
This is smart…
Well…I’m not sure if any of you read about this but it put a big smile on my face…some time last week, as I was reading the news, I came across an article about a woman here in Michigan who is getting a petition drive up to put a woman’s control of her own body on the ballot and enshrine those rights in our constitution…and with almost 70% of the people here supporting a woman’s right to choose, if she can get enough signatures on the petitions, which I will gladly sign, we can finally take this weapon away from the repubs here and make sure they can never make women second class citizens again. I think this is a reaction the almost certain overturning of Roe by the right wing zealots on the SC…taking away a right that women have had sine the 70’s…something that has never happened in the history of the country…but that doesn’t matter to the right wing hacks on the SC…every one of who promised that Roe was “settled law” and they would follow precedent and leave it in place….but every damn one of them lied their asses off during their confirmation hearings and that should be enough to remove them from the court. This is what comes from reps who only serve a small minority of the country trying to jam their religion down our throats…we will find a way to fight back…and this amendment is the best way I’ve seen…geez…
Rooting against America at fox news…
Well…if you watched fox news Thursday evening or Friday morning, you saw every damn one of those ghouls rooting their damndest for America to fail on job creation…with the comfy couch assholes just gleefully predicting that we probably would lose up to 300K jobs and blaming Biden for what I don’t know but blame they did…and that doocy ass who is daily shredded by Jen Psaki at the WH briefing was standing outside the WH calling Biden a failure and predicting Joe would try to spin the job losses by saying he had created more jobs in his fist year than any other president…but that doesn’t matter anymore because losing 300K jobs is so bad that it offsets the gains of the past year…you see where I’m going here, right? Yep, the meme they were pushing fell apart spectacularly when job gains of 467K were announced for January and November and December were revised up by almost 700K jobs gained…and you know what happened next, right? Yep, fox completely stopped talking about jobs and went straight into their puff pieces on the asshole truckers in Canada who are protesting vaccine mandates and spouting even more outrage at the January 6th committee…normal stuff for them when their propaganda is stuffed right back down their throats by the truth…god I hate those assholes…geez…
Biden is doing it right…
Well…damn, what a difference a real president makes on the world stage…as Putin rattles his sabers and threatens Ukraine with an invasion if they don’t roll over for him and stop working with the west to guarantee their sovereignty, can you imagine what would be happening if the idiot boy was still in office? Yep, he would be rolling over for Putin and half of Ukraine would be Russian territory by now…but, Biden is not taking any of Putin’s bullshit and is working with NATO to respond to his threats with the only thing he understands…power…and we are making it clear what the cost will be if he does invade…the Russian economy will be crashed and it will cost him billions personally…and he won’t have a reconstituted USSR that is his real aim. I understand the people who are protesting and have sent letters to Biden opposing war in Ukraine, but appeasement of people like Putin just doesn’t work…and I think that Putin is thinking in terms of the previous guy who was so scared of everything and his administration was so incompetent that he could basically do whatever he wanted anywhere in the world with no consequences…and that is no longer true when you have a competent president who truly values our allies and works with them as a team to meet Putin’s blustering…no matter what China says….why they are supporting Putin on trying to stop NATO expansion, I don’t know but I think it is more a sharp stick in the eye to a newly muscular American foreign policy…and it costs China nothing as they try to extend their influence across the world…so, I think Biden is doing it right and I hope he keeps it up…
Poor Zuckerberg…
Well..it finally looks like people are getting tired of Facebook pushing hate and supporting right wing fascists across the world….over the past few days, facebook stock has lost about 25% of it’s value and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving person as Mark Zuckerberg…that means the market cap of facebook has dropped by 200 billion dollars and poor old markie himself has lost 24-26 billion dollars in the past week…and it’s all because people are getting tired of facebook’s bullshit and markie’s love of everything repub and have been leaving it in droves….I’ve never been able to understand the allure of facebook and the only reason I have an account is that the Miata club I belong to moved over to facebook from Yahoo but I very seldom use it for anything else other than to wish people happy birthday and to post photos of the progress on the house….I sure as hell don’t get my news from it since it has been proven that ole markie has built algorithms that overwhelmingly push right wing bullshit in it’s news feed over the facts or truth…so, people…keep it up…keep leaving facebook and keep making ole markie pay…maybe some day he’ll be that has been that people point at and laugh…it can’t come soon enough…
