Well…I know you probably haven’t read about it yet, but Joe Manchin knifed Joe Biden in the back this morning…on fox news of course when he said that he wouldn’t support the BBB bill that would do great things for American families…and immediately, the WH put out a statement blasting Manchin for lying to them all week when he told Biden that he would work with them to get a bill passed…look, I know what this is about…Manchin is pretty sure that the repubs are going to take control of the senate next year and I think he is going to switch sides and become a repub so he can continue giving the military more and more money and giving tax cuts to the rich. One frickin guy who represents .5% of the US just killed a bill that 70% of the American people want passed just because he can and he thinks it will benefit him personally in conservative WVA…so get ready to continue to pay 1,000 bucks a month for insulin, to continue to not be able to afford child care, and get ready to live without everything else good that would benefit people and not coal companies…there is some thing really wrong when one guy who got 290,000 total votes in his start can overrule the 81 million who voted for Biden…that needs to change…geez…

Oh, oh…fox news,,
Well…as the lying propaganda network they are, fox news pushed and pushed the conspiracy theory that Dominion voting machines rigged their machines to give Joe Biden trump votes….which wasn’t true by the way….so Dominion sued fox news for 1.6 billion dollars for ruining their business…of course fox appealed and guess what happened? A Federal judge just yesterday said that the suit could go forward and that means discovery starts as soon as possible…and it will be the first time that this has happened to fox and it makes any communication fair game…like strategy sessions, w-mails, texts, and any other records that have anything to do with how this lie came to be pushed so hard by fox…and that puts all of the on-air personalities in the crosshairs, too, and they could be liable for criminal charges if it is found they broke the law…I can hardly contain my glee that these assholes who have done so much damage to this country may be held accountable by a private company and fox may even be liable for treble damages and that would put them in hock for 4.8 billion dollars…I sure hope they lose it…maybe then the cancer on this country that fox is can finally be cut out…geez…
Cognitive dissonance…
Well…I still shake my head when I hear stories about Biden’s visit to the storm damaged parts of the south that were hit by the tornadoes last week where his empathy and genuine caring for the people there, no matter what their political leaning are, was on display. Most of the people they interviewed were really surprised how much he just listened and gave out hugs to people who needed them…and how nice he was and it hit me how this bit of cognitive dissonance happened…most of these folks probably only watch fox news where Biden is portrayed as the devil incarnate, a socialist, communist who is trying his best to destroy this country…so when this nice, caring guy shows up to really help them, it doesn’t fit the propaganda they have been fed by fox and they can’t square reality with fox’s lies…so cognitive dissonance….I think we need to get better at getting the truth out but that is pretty difficult when all media is rooting for Joe’s failure…and the failure of the country just to have something they want to write about…how about the truth? Nope, won’t happen…geez…
Don’t give Liz Cheney so much credit…
Well…boy, with all of the credit Liz Cheney is getting for her work on the Jan 6th committee, people are forgetting who she is and that this work is the only thing to like about her. Through her career, she has been one of the farthest right wing repubs there is…and she has made lots of racist comments and has attacked everything that our side has tried to do…so let’s take this whole act with a ton of salt…I appreciate the she and Kinzinger are the only repubs who think our democracy needs saving and she did just call out “gym” Jordan and McCarthy for being the spineless liars they are….but, it’s a veneer over her awfulness and when the committee work is over, she will go back to being the terrible person she is….I will thank her for this work, but that’s it….geez…
The public hearings are going to be lit…
Well…as more and more information comes out about the attack on the capital, including the committee reading out texts from the moron Meadows yesterday, I think the public hearings are going to be pretty damn explosive….and I think that McCarthy made a huge mistake by withdrawing repub support since he now has absolutely no control over the questions that will be asked or who is going to be asked to testify…..but, we all know he is not too bright and was just trying to keep the idiot trump’s support by obstructing the committee…and he was doing that because he knew trump was in on the whole thing…and I won’t be surprised if McCarthy was in on the attack, too. Damn, how long ago were the Watergate hearings? okay…1973…I remember at the place I was working we would sit down at lunch and watch for an hour every day…this time, I’ll probably watch the whole thing and do a series on it with at least one post about it every day….but that won’t be til later in 2022….sure wish they’d get their butts in gear….
Good on ya, Gavin…
Well…it’s been in the new a lot lately that the corrupt supreme court has let stand a new anti abortion law in Texas that lets private citizens sue anyone involved in helping a woman get an abortion even though it goes against the roe precedent that made abortion care legal….and the twist is that since private citizens are doing the enforcing, the state can’t be sued to overturn the law…too cute by half and that a non corrupt SC would have thrown out in a flash….so now that the SC has made this precedent, Gavin Newsome, the governor of California, is going to pass a new law that would allow any citizen to sue anyone who buys, sells, imports or possesses military style assault weapons such as the AR-15….if the repubs can take away a women’s right to choose, then the dems will take away the fake right to own these kinds of weapons. The court has gutted the supremacy clause in the constitution that says that federal laws are supreme to state laws with letting Texas get away with a law that is blatantly unconstitutional on a federal level so you can expect that dems will use this ruling in blue states that will smash the smug repubs in the mouth in where most of the population in this country lives…it’s about damn time the dems started to fight back with repub methods instead of just sitting there letting them ruin this country…good on ya, Gavin…geez….
Boycott Kellogg…
Well….I should have written about this last week when I read about it in the news but I forgot so I’ll do it today…not sure if you read about the crap that Kellogg is pulling on it’s workers who have been out on strike for better working conditions for a couple of months, and with the crappy offers that Kellogg has made to them the workers have had enough and want a fair share of what they produce….so what is Kellogg’s response? They are going to fire all of the workers and replace them with scabs saying that they can’t afford to give the workers any of the things they bargained for such as no more 80 hour weeks or weeks and weeks on end with no time off….this is the normal “we’re too broke to give raises” crap that every damn company uses when their workers want to get out of the poverty level even working full time…Kellogg can afford to pay it’s ceo almost 12 million dollars a year and made a profit of almost 2 billion dollars so that’s all bullshit….I will always support workers trying to improve their lives by collective bargaining and I will always hate that these greedy companies feel the need to hoard the fruits of the worker’s labor for the rich owners…so, as the title says…Boycott Kellogg….no more cereal for you…geez…
All the repubs were in on it…
Well…even before everything is known about the traitorous attack on our democracy on January 6th, enough is known to be able to say that all of the repubs were in on it….in on treason against this country and yet are any of them even charged yet? Nope…and that means the danger is still there and still festering and there is circumstantial evidence that trump was in the middle of it…do you ever wonder why idiot boy was never moved to a “secure location” during the attack as he was when there were protests in the streets? It’s because he knew the plan and it didn’t include anyone going after him…and from the power point presentation, we know they were going to use a fake kidnapping of Pence as the excuse to call a national emergency…but at the last moment, Pence chickened out and wouldn’t get in the car the Secret Service sent for him….maybe after hearing the bloodthirsty crowd yelling for him to be hanged, he thought that there was more danger in carrying out the plot? Oh, and one last little tidbit came out today concerning Senator Chuck Grassley….he mentioned to an aide that he didn’t think Pence was going to show up to certify the votes so he would go ahead and do it…gee, I wonder how ole Chuck knew Pence wasn’t going to be there? Yep, he was in on it, too….as they all were….I can’t wait for the rest of it to come out since idiot boy lost the suit to keep his papers away from the January 6th committee….I wonder if any of the new justices that trump installed on the court were in on it, too…wouldn’t surprise me in the least…geez…
Why haven’t they been arrested?
Well…with all of the information that has already come out about the treasonous attempt to overthrow the government on January 6th, the question I have is “why haven’t they been arrested?” Why isn’t trump’s butt in jail right now? The committee even has the power point presentation that Meadows did to tell people what to do and how to do it…why hasn’t he been arrested and why is he being allowed to run around stonewalling the committee? The most serious attack on the country since the war of 1812 and no one is doing anything to stop the continuing attack that is still going on…the repubs are still rigging elections across the country and making sure that their 30% of the voters will win every election and no one is doing anything about it…where the hell is Merrick Garland? Where the hell is the justice department? There is enough evidence in the Mueller report to arrest trump right now…so why isn’t it happening? Every day we allow these criminals to roam free is another day closer to losing this country to these thugs but no one seems to care….I am tired of having to write about this every damn day but I will until they start holding people accountable for this treason…..geez…
Hey, antivaxxers, listen to this…
Well…I have a question for all of the antivaxxers out there….is your “freedom” from the vaccine or wearing masks worth 1.14 million dollars? Just read an article where the father of an antivaxxer who died after 3 weeks in the hospital posted the bill they got for the stay…1.14 million dollars just for the hospital part of the bill…it didn’t include any fees for the doctors or specialists who treated this guy…I would guess when all is said and done, the bill will probably be 1.25 million dollars…never mind that even if this guy would have survived the virus he would have had years of rehab that would add hundreds of thousands more…not to mention that he wouldn’t ever be able work again so his family would take that hit, too….so, I ask again antivaxxers, what is your “freedom” from vaccines and mask wearing worth? I doubt it’s 1.14 million dollars….geez……selfish pricks…
